Once the game began, Fiorentina quickly took the initiative on the pitch, and the excellent performance of the Fiorentina players at both ends of the pitch made it difficult for the visiting players to move on the pitch. In particular, Hakan Suker, who is the pillar of Galatasa's Lei Line, the high school striker known as the Bosphorus Bull, after inaction in the first leg, the Turk still couldn't get rid of Stam's marking in this contest!

This is where the gap between the legendary Turkish centre-forward and the top-notch centre-forwards in Turkey may be able to score goals on a consistent basis, but in Europe, Galatasaray's number one killer is somewhat underwhelming – otherwise, it would not have been possible for him to score five Serie A goals in 24 appearances in a full season at Inter Milan.

You know, if you give the same amount of playing time to strikers like Cruz and Di Vayo, who have been on the bench at the big clubs, they are both capable of scoring more goals.

And in Trim's tactical system, a high school forward with excellent scoring ability is essential. Therefore, when Hakan Suker could not break through the Fiorentina defense from the front, and could not convert crosses sent by teammates such as Mitte Davara into shots, Galatasaray's attacking burden was all on the shoulders of Hadji, who was the most scorer besides Hakan Suker?

However, such a task is too difficult for a Romanian, who is already thirty-four years old.

On the other hand, on the Fiorentina side, after staring Hakan Suker with Stam and Gattuso stumbling Haji's footsteps with a kraft candy defense, the Purple Lily, which has greatly reduced the defensive pressure, began to bloom under the leadership of Redondo and Effenberg!

It's just that such brilliance is undoubtedly like a poppy in the eyes of Fiorentina's opponent in this game, that is, Galatasaray's players, but it is full of murderous intentions in that intoxicating beauty!

In the fifteenth minute of the game, Redondo and Effenberg played a one-two in succession, and after completely tearing apart Galatasaray's central defense, the Argentine burst into the penalty area with the ball. Later, surrounded by several Galatasaray players, Redondo cleverly slammed the ball with his left heel to send the ball out of the encirclement and give Vieritron, who received the ball on the other side of the penalty area, a great opportunity to face Tafarel directly!

As the top scorer at the World Cup and last season's Serie A Golden Boot winner, Vieri could not afford to waste such a great opportunity. The Italian tank received the ball on the spot with a powerful left-footed volley that gave Fiorentina a one-goal lead!

Just ten minutes after Vieri's opener, Fiorentina took advantage of Galatasaray's rush to equalise and press heavily to launch a quick counter-attack. Emre's through ball to Haji was cut off by Gattuso for the obvious intent, and then immediately passed the ball to Redondo, who was closest to him. Immediately afterwards, Redondo, Effenberg and Vieri played an extremely simple ball between the trio, and finally Inzaghi formed a single knife after the successful anti-offside position. Super Pippo, who received Vieri's pass, stumbled and burst into the penalty area, waded past the attacking old goalkeeper Tafarel and then pushed the empty goal to rewrite the score to 2-0!

Faced with two goals down just 25 minutes into the game, some Galatasaray players began to disarray. There is no way to do it, after all, Fiorentina's two goals are too demoralizing for Galatasaray's players. If the second goal was conceded because the defence was too far forward to give the opponent a chance, then Vieri's goal owes a large part of the credit to Redondo's clever back-heel pass when he was in the middle of the siege!

Therefore, even though Triem has placed experienced veterans such as Haji and Tafarel in the three lanes to stabilize the morale of the army, young players such as Emre and Hurmit Davara still have the feeling that "the opponent is not the same team as us" when they see that Redondo can accurately pass the ball to his teammates despite their frantic pursuit and interception, and the guide is much less motivated by this game.

Taking advantage of the low morale of the Galatasaray players, the Fiorentina players, in the spirit of taking advantage of your illness and killing you, immediately pressed the visiting team that had not recovered from the blow after the game restarted, and immediately organized an offensive attack towards the opponent's goal after grabbing the ball!

Galatasaray's players quickly paid the price for not being able to bounce back in time: in the 33rd minute, Okan was forced to break through by Zambrotta, who then launched a long pass from the back, and Vieri managed to cross the ball to Inzaghi in front of Popescu's defense!

Pippo, who once again broke through the Galatasaray backline, seized this one-on-one opportunity, he did not give Tafarel a chance to save the team, and he burst into the penalty area and directly pushed the far corner of the goal to score, 3-0!

After the fifteen-minute half-time break, the two sides changed places and fought again, and Galatasaray, who enjoyed a meal of Trim brand hair dryer, still did not improve in the slightest, and continued to let Fiorentina ** on the field, making Trim, who was standing on the sidelines, so angry that he jumped to his feet.

To make matters worse, Inzaghi, who had already scored twice, took advantage of the visitors' unscrupulous markers to score another goal in the 58th minute, scoring a hat-trick and making Galatasaray's situation even worse!

With a four-goal lead, there was actually no suspense in the game, and Galatasaray, whose morale had completely collapsed, could not organize a threatening attack on the field, and Heynckes, who noticed this phenomenon, began to deploy troops and replace Redondo and other big players one after another - in the case of the overall situation, Heynckes needs to prepare for the next league and the Coppa Italia, so there is no point in continuing to slaughter the opponent, but it will make the opponent angry, and then lead to unpredictable consequences.

Although the Fiorentina players began to let go of the pitch in the following games, Galatasaray were unable to capitalise on the opportunity to turn things around, as many of them had lost confidence in the game after a series of blows.

In fact, if Haji hadn't saved some face for the visitors with a shocking lob from 30 yards out in the 80th minute, Trim and his team would have returned to Istanbul with a two-legged goal deficit.

In the end, in the second leg of the season between the two sides, Fiorentina defeated Galatasaray 4-1 at home, completing the double kill against the Turkish giants in the group stage of the Champions League!
