After beating Atalanta by three goals at the Frankie Stadium and educating their opponents with a clean victory, letting these youngsters know that there is a huge gap between them in terms of strength and mentality, Fiorentina, who got off to a good start to the New Year, further consolidated their lead in the league standings - with 16 rounds of Serie A already gone, the Purple Lilies have only suffered one defeat in the league, and even a draw with their opponents has only been once!

If such a result does not allow Fiorentina to establish enough advantages in the league to leave the top three in the north far behind, then the Purple Lily's luck will be too bad.

Although they are nine points ahead of Inter Miranda in second place in the standings, Fiorentina has not felt any complacent. After all, it has been two and a half years since Fiorentina last lifted the Serie A title, and there is a huge hunger for league trophies among players and fans alike. Therefore, at this time, after being beaten by teams such as Lazio, Roma and Inter Milan while leading all the way, they naturally did not take it lightly and once again handed away the championship trophy.

After all, there are only three things to do. If Fiorentina always led by a large margin in the first half of the league, only to be overturned in the second half, it would also be a big blow to the prestige of players such as the Purple Lily and Andrea Pirlo.

"In any case, we have to keep the points advantage we have this time and not let the reversal of the opponent happen to us in Fiorentina again!" It was Nesta who made a declaration in the dressing room after the game against Atalanta, "So, I hope you can continue to focus enough for the next games and try to solve the problems on this side of the league before the Champions League comes to life!" ”

"Oh!" Most of the Fiorentina players were very convinced of Nesta's words as the new captain, so naturally no one would deliberately stand up against him at this time and express their support for him with shouts.

A week later, the Fiorentina players, determined to establish an unshakable advantage in the league before the Champions League, set off for Brescia in northern Italy for the 17th round of Serie A!

Here's a brief introduction to Brescia's team, which is completely different from the previous life. Due to the butterfly effect brought about by Zhuang Mingge's crossing, when Robert Baggio had to leave Inter Milan under the pressure of Lippi, he did not choose Brescia as his next home, but chose to return to his roots and returned to his parent club Vicenza when he debuted. Such a change has turned Brescia's entire tactical system upside down!

With Baggio in full pursuit, the veteran coach handed over the tactical core to another veteran in the team, Pep Guardiola, and developed a strategy around the former Spain international. And his approach has indeed had a good effect, Brescia can stay in Serie A for two consecutive years, and Guardiola's excellent performance is inseparable.

Of course, as a team aiming for relegation in Serie A, Brescia certainly can't have only one star in the Guardiola. In addition to Pep Guardiola, the most recognizable star, Brescia have also brought in the experienced veteran De Haye, as well as the likes of Caracciolo, Appia and Matuzaren and young talents, and pinched them into a collective to increase their chances of relegation.

I have to say that the vision of the Brescia management is still very strong. Their few transfers didn't cost much, but they all had a pretty good effect. Caracciolo has been scoring goals in the league, faintly reminiscent of Carnevale's style; The tireless running and scrambling of Matuzallen and Appiah on the pitch is an important guarantee that Guardiola can calmly organize the attack at the back; De Huye in front of the goal has added an insurance to Brescia's goal, with the former Dutch international in front of the goal, the Brescia players can also be more open when attacking, and no longer have to worry about whether their own door will be attacked by the opponent all the time.

However, although Brescia's strength is not a fish belly in Serie A, they are obviously not enough to look at against the league leaders Fiorentina with a full squad and high morale. In this 17th round of Serie A, Brescia's core on the field, Pep Guardiola, was frantically pressed by Gattuso from the beginning of the game, and it was difficult to calmly sort out the team's game rhythm and organization at the back. Brescia's attack was also disorganized by Guardiola's entanglement with Gattuso, and almost did not pose any threat to Fiorentina's goal.

The reason why Brescia will be so bad in this game is mainly due to the two players of Matuzallen and Appia. The two were arguably the most disappointing for Mazzoni, as they did not play a role as Pep Guardiola's bodyguards at all, nor were they able to take over the responsibility when the Spaniard was pestered by Gattuso to organize the team flawlessly, and instead played soy sauce on the pitch. It's only when Gattuso passes them that the two men intercept it, giving Pep Guardiola a breathing room, and it's business as usual......

"These two guys, obviously don't run much but their feet are empty and out of breath, and they know at a glance that this holiday has been too much, and as a result, it has affected their own state." Seeing that Matuzallen and Appia couldn't help but work on the field, the old coach couldn't help but regret a little in his heart, "If I knew this, I should have left all these boys here in the first place and forbade them to go on vacation." Otherwise, we wouldn't be playing like this. ”

Despite Mazzoni's frustration, it didn't help. The Fiorentina players still relied on strong individual ability and skillful cooperation to control the initiative of the game from beginning to end, without giving the opponent the slightest possibility of turning the tables, and tearing apart Brescia's defense again and again, creating countless killing opportunities in front of the opponent's goal!

In the end, thanks to the almost invisible performance of Brescia's midfielders of Matuzallen and Appia, Fiorentina defeated the home team 2-0 thanks to goals from Milito and Vieri, and walked away from the Riga Monti Stadium with great success!
