Chapter 459: Beyond!

Fiorentina's win over Cagliari is no news, and a win for this team is already a commonplace for everyone.

However, this time Fiorentina won and equalled AC Milan's longest unbeaten run in the top five leagues, which is big news.

The day after the match, the event was reported by major sports media throughout Italy and even throughout Shijie.

As a supporter of both teams in Milan, although "Milan Sport" expressed its congratulations to Fiorentina at the beginning of the commentary, it seems that the official mouthpiece of the Milan duo is still calling on all Italian teams to unite to snipe Fiorentina and strive to break the Purple Lily's unbeaten gold in the next game.

Well, who is unbeaten in 58 league games has always been the pride of AC Milan, and it is one of the topics that Milan fans talk about. No one expected that this would be equaled by Fiorentina in a few years, and looking at their next schedule, there are many jiashi who have surpassed this record, and all those who support AC Milan naturally can't keep a normal heart to look at this matter.

In addition to the local media in Florence expressing unconditional support and praise for their club, other Italian media have also written articles saying that they should respond to the call of Milan Sports Newspaper and unite to fight for the defeat of Fiorentina as soon as possible.

That being said, when these guys look at Fiorentina's opponents in three league games, they feel that there is really little hope of stopping this team from setting a new record.

In the 32nd round of Serie A, Fiorentina challenged Napoli away from home, which was fighting for relegation.

A week later, in the 33rd round, Fiorentina host Reggiana, who had already been relegated.

On 1 June, the final match of the Serie A competition, Fiorentina faced Sampdoria, who had been somewhat lackluster after the winter break.

Among the three opponents, except for Sampdoria, who has stars such as Montella and Veron, who have the ability to cause some problems for Fiorentina, the remaining two teams are basically playing the role of soy sauce.

Therefore, the Italian media, with the exception of Florence, are now paying lip service to the fact that they do not have much hope for the possibility of Napoli succeeding in stopping the Florentines.

AC Milan supporters are naturally aware of this, and although reason tells them, these fans still silently pray in their hearts for a miracle.

Although Napoli introduced several future stars such as Frijns, Schneider and Novotny through the recommendation of GM, plus the team's original Argentine central defender Ayala and Frenchman Bogasion, the strength is much stronger than in history, but the overall strength of the team does not mean that this team will definitely be able to achieve the haode ranking.

Everyone believes that Maradona's departure has siphoned off the backbone of this team, and unless it is completely overturned and rebuilt to revive Napoli, or another superstar with stadium dominance is brought in, the southern side will sooner or later bid farewell to Serie A in a constant struggle.

So, while Fiorentina are away from home this time, no one thinks Napoli can take the league lead on their home turf.

What are you kidding, if Fiorentina is defeated at the feet of Napoli, who are fighting for relegation, how can the teams that were killed by Fiorentina be embarrassed?

On May 18, the 32nd round of Serie A began as scheduled.

Capello did not rest complacent about equalling his unbeaten streak in Milan, nor did he relax his demands on the players in training, so the Fiorentina players did not take this game lightly, but took everything seriously to prepare.

The starting goalkeeper is still Toldo, and the four defenders are Carlos, veteran Verjoward, Stam and Zambrotta, although the level of chemistry between these four players is unknown, but with their ability, it should not be a problem to keep an eye on Napoli, an attacking line that can be ranked in the bottom three of Serie A.

In midfield, Redondo, Effenberg, Djokaeff and Davies started together, and although this combination weakened Fiorentina's defensive ability in midfield, the team's midfield control increased significantly.

Up front, it was Batistuta's turn to partner Filip Inzaghi, and while both lacked the ability to break through with the ball, it was a bit of a weakness with the support of midfield masters such as Effenberg behind him.

With such a lineup, no matter how you look at it, getting Napoli is a matter of hand.

However, after the start of the game, something happened to everyone's surprise, and Napoli, who had not been watched before the game, actually took the lead less than ten minutes into the game!

Just nine minutes into the game, German midfielder Frings kicked a shijie wave 30 meters away from the goal, and the ball hung straight into the corner of the goal like a cannonball, 1-0!

Toldor was stunned by Frijns's long-range shot, he didn't expect that the German on the opposite side would really ignore such a long-range shot, and the most embarrassing thing was that the goal actually scored!

If you let this guy kick ten more kicks in that position, you won't be able to kick a long-range shot of this level! Why did you get in with this foot?! Toldo lamented in his heart and fished the ball out of the goal.

"Frings!! Torsten Frijns! The commentator didn't expect that it would be Napoli who broke the deadlock first, "A goal was scored less than ten minutes after the game started, but the side that scored the goal was not widely watched by Fiorentina before the game, but Napoli at home!" They are 1-0 ahead of Fiorentina at the Stadio São Paulo! ”

While the Napoli players were frantically celebrating the goal on the field, Fiorentina had already placed the ball in the middle circle of the stadium and waited for the restart, except for Toldo, who was still a little depressed, everyone's expressions were very indifferent, and they didn't seem to be flustered at all because the opponent scored first.

After all, the situation on the field before Napoli's goal has always been dominated by Fiorentina, and there are many elements of Frings' luck in the goal just now, and the Fiorentina players who are focused on the game and are also accustomed to seeing big scenes will naturally not be flustered because of a momentary lag.

The subsequent games proved this, with Schneider, Frings and Bogasion in the midfield, despite being fairly balanced in attack and defence, but the difference in experience and the lack of team-mates in the forward line made Napoli waste a lot of attacking opportunities, and at the same time gave the Fiorentinas countless opportunities to score.

In the 23rd minute, Schneider was cut off by Davies's close pressing, Redondo, who followed from behind, immediately made a long pass, and Djokaeff, who moved to the left, immediately got up and crossed after receiving the ball, Inzaghi jumped into the penalty area and scored to rewrite the score to a 1-1 draw;

In the 69th minute, Batistuta scored the game-winning goal for Fiorentina, and he pressed Novotny in the penalty area, and headed in a corner kick from Djokaev!

The score remained 2-1 until the end of the game, and when the referee blew the final whistle, the Fiorentina players all ran onto the pitch to celebrate the milestone victory!

With this victory, they overtook AC Milan to become the only team on the longest unbeaten streak in the top five leagues, and they will never have to share this honor with any other team!
