Although there was some foreboding, it was clear that Ferguson would not give up on the pursuit of victory because of these illusory things, and after Ronaldo's hat-trick, Ferguson made a substitution, replacing Paul Scholes with Nicky Bart, intending to strengthen the defensive Liliang in midfield, while freeing up Ryan Giggs and David Beckham on the flanks to support Eric Cantona and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer up front.
On the other side, Capello did not sit back and relax in the dugout because of the score lead, and he also made corresponding substitutions for Ferguson's adjustments.
Glen Charles came on to strengthen Fiorentina's attacking attack on the right, and he replaced Ronaldo, who performed perfectly; Immediately afterwards, Inzaghi, who scored a goal in this game, was also substituted, and his good friend Vieri came on as a substitute.
In doing so, both Fiorentina and United have turned their style of play into a two-winged affair, with both sides battling it out on both flanks: Robert Carlos has been able to stand alone against David Beckham and Gary Neville, and Glenn Charles has shown a level of breakthrough that is not inferior to Ryan Giggs, and his combination with Zambrotta has kept United's attack down the left.
In the end, Fiorentina defeated last season's Premier League champions Manchester United 4-2 at Old Trafford thanks to a hat-trick by Ronaldo, and won the first leg of the quarter-finals away from home, and has already crossed the threshold of the Champions League semi-finals with one foot.
In the other match played at the same time, Juventus drew 0-0 with Atletico Madrid at the Estadio Calderón and also had a slight chance of qualifying for the last four of the Champions League.
After winning the first leg against Manchester United, the Fiorentina players rushed to Rome for the twenty-second round of Serie A against Lazio.
Due to Zeman's unusually poor results in the first half of the season, and at the same time publicly complaining about the big boss Cragnotti's interference in the team's affairs, the Czech coach unsurprisingly received a notice of dismissal from the Blue Eagles management after the winter break, and left the Lazio team that had spent a lot of effort with a release fee.
Replacing Zeman as Lazio's interim coach was an assistant coach of the first team, and when Zhuang Mingge found that he had no impression of this brother at all, he immediately determined that this guy was actually a soy sauce player.
Zhuang Mingge was right, when the interim coach of Lazio re-signed his contract with Lazio, he was told by the club's big boss Cragnoti that his task was only to ensure that Lazio could guarantee a European place for next season at the end of the season.
As for Lazio's head coach for next season, Craniotti has publicly stated many times after Zeman's departure that he has found a very good manager for the team, and with the ability of this coach, he can completely replace Zeman, who has left, and lead the Blue Eagles to continue to climb the peak.
However, even if Cragnotti says the flower, it will not change the fact that Lazio will be led by a "temporary worker" for the rest of the season.
Zhuang Mingge felt that Craniotti must have short-circuited his brain when he was calming the emotions of the fans, and he would actually claim in public that he had found a new coach for the team, which made the interim coach who is now leading the team to play the game embarrassed?
Under normal circumstances, whether a manager is a temporary worker or not, as long as he is dismissed by the team, he must not be able to stay at the club any longer, this is the rule in football, and no manager wants to see his predecessor still working in the team.
Since whether the grades are good or bad is the result of leaving, how binding can Craniotti's demands be?
In this game, Capello sent a lot of substitutes, Stamm, Fortunato, Angeloma and other substitutes or main rotation players have been given the opportunity to start, Rui Costa and Djokaeff are responsible for controlling the pace of the game, Vieri and Barty form a forward twin tower in front, obviously Capello intends to play the impact and liliang of the two center forwards, and use the simplest and rude way to kill the door of Lazio.
On the other hand, on the Lazio side playing at home, it is clear that the interim coach of the Blue Eagles does not have a lot of control and understanding of the team, although the parallel striker Proti, who is not on the same path as Signoli, is taken from the main lineup, and the aggressive four-three-three of the Zeman era is changed to a balanced four-four-two, but it is really difficult for the Lazio players, who have become accustomed to onslaught, to adapt to a completely different tactical style of play in less than two months.
In the front line, Signori and Casirachi are a duo, Nedved, Fosse, Malcorlin and the Australian national team captain Okong form a four-man midfield, the back line is not much changed, from left to right is Favali, Glendoni, Chamote and Negro, the goalkeeper is still the veteran Maciegiani, Lazio boss obviously hopes to use the tacit understanding of the defenders to stabilize the team's defense.
However, the Lazion, who played offensive football under Zeman for two and a half years, still remembers what Italy's chain defense looked like?
On March 2, Fiorentina came to the Olympic Stadium in Rome with a big win in the Champions League, while Lazio, which has home advantage, is still in the throes of transformation, and the result of the game is naturally predictable.
Although the Lazio players played desperately in the box to defend Barty and Vieri, they were cleverly pulled out by Cragnotti and they were eventually seized by Fiorentina.
In the 70th minute, Djokaeff took a free kick on the left side of the pitch, the ball flew to the center of the penalty area, Vieri jumped high from the crowd and headed the ball into the gate guarded by Maciegiani!
Fiorentina also won 1-0 against Lazio thanks to Vieri's goal, extending their unbeaten run since the start of this season's Serie A.
With the following week being a four-team battle in the bottom half of the Champions League, the Fiorentina players were given a week of respite from Fabio Capello to ease the fatigue of back-to-back games.
On March 9, Fiorentina sat at the Stadio Frankie to face the visiting Bologna, facing this team that has no characteristics except for center Kennet Anderson, Capello sent a set of mixed lineup of part of the main + substitutes to easily get the opponent.
At 2-0, Inzaghi and Vieri scored one goal each to help Fiorentina take all three points at home.
