At 7pm on 12 May, the Stadio Tardini was bustling with crowds, with Parma and Fiorentina fans enthusiastically cheering on their respective teams before the match even began. Although the players of both sides were just out of the tunnel at this time, and the two captains, Effenberg and Thuram, were guessing the coin at the referee, it still could not stop the fans' enthusiasm.

Fiorentina were arguably the main force tonight, with goalkeeper Toldo, Roberto Carlos, Nesta, Stam and Zambrotta lined up in a line-up. Appearing in the midfield position are Claude Makelele and Redondo, who will join Effenberg in controlling the tempo of the team; Gattuso, who is increasingly valued by Capello, continues to play his role as a midfield-stirring stick in this game. As for the forward duo at the front, Vieri and Ronaldo are partnered together.

The reason why Capello chose Vieri and Ronaldo is because there is a very fatal weakness in the Parma backline, that is, among Parma's main central defenders, Cannavaro and San Sini are both less than 1.8 meters tall, while Thuram, who is tall enough to be standard, is not physically strong enough.

Therefore, Vieri's combination with the aliens can make the most of this weakness in Parma's backline, because neither Cannavaro, Thuram, nor Sancini can handle Vieri in a one-on-one situation. If they choose to trap each other, then they will have to face a situation of going head-to-head with aliens, which they simply cannot afford.

If it were replaced by Inzaghi, it would not have had this effect, because Thuram and Saint-Sini are quite strong in their sense of complementing, and it is difficult for Pippo, who eats by running, to find good opportunities in them.

With Fiorentina out of the line-up, let's take a look at Parma's side.

Although finishing fourth in the table makes Parma's Champions League place next season look uncertain, in reality, with only two league games remaining, Parma are already seven points ahead of Roma behind them, meaning that the Milk Army have already secured a Champions League spot.

And because Parma also has a point difference of more than two games with AC Milan and Lazio in second and third place, like Fiorentina, who have already won the championship in advance, Parma, who have no desire in the league, can focus all their attention on the final of the Coppa Italia.

So, in the first leg of the game, Malesani put all the main players who could play into the starting list, and according to Bayern Munich's tactics, he set out a set of three-five-two formations: on the back line, the goalkeeper is the high-speed rising genius Buffon, Thuram, Cannavaro and San Signi as three central defenders; In midfield, Dino Baggio and Bogosion form a back two, Paolo Vanoli and Fosse are separated, and Argentine wizard Veron, who moved from Sampdoria last summer, replaced injury-prone Croatian midfielder Stanic as Parma's playmaker. Up front, Crespo and Chiesa are still the same: the former has been improving since entering Serie A and has now grown into a top scorer in Serie A; Despite the latter's ongoing injury and status as Crespo grows, no one dares to underestimate the homegrown striker, who has scored record league goals in recent years.

Under the command of Malaisani, the Milk Army, which had home advantage, took the lead in attacking from the beginning of the game with the cheers of tens of thousands of Parma fans on the scene!

Although in recent seasons, Parma's record against Fiorentina is basically a draw or a loss, but this does not mean that Fiorentina is an absolutely impossible opponent for Parma to beat, because they also have a group of very good stars in the team who can step up and change the trend of the game at key moments.

In this first-leg contest, the brightest stars on Parma's side were Buffon and Crespo, whose sudden outburst in the game caused Capello to suffer another deflated after the semi-finals of the Champions League - the former single-handedly ruined Fiorentina's intention to win the first leg, and the Italian No. 1 goalkeeper only conceded two goals under the bombardment of the opponent's whole game; The latter sent his teammate's not-so-subtle pass into the goal of Toldo's goal twice under the tight defense of Nesta and Stamm, and the clean shooting action of the Argentine center made it impossible for Nesta, who was in charge of marking him, to find a chance to steal with his feet.

At full-time, the score on the big screen at the Tardini Stadium was settled at 2-2, with Fiorentina drawing away from Parma and a draw under the noses of the Malaisani and Parma players.

'Fiorentina and Parma put on a spectacular show for the fans in the first leg of the Coppa Italia final, with goals from Vieri and Ronaldo establishing a two-goal lead for the visitors, but Parma did not give up early, but persevered until the last minute of the game, and their top scorer Crespo scored twice in the second half to equalise the scores, disappointing Capello and Fiorentina. This was commented by the Italian media after the match, "However, judging by the scene of the game, Fiorentina should have won this night if Lady Luck had not particularly favored Parma. ”

In the eyes of these journalists, Parma did not lose at home because they were lucky enough, after all, Fiorentina did get a lot more chances to score in the game than the home team, and the starting players in the Parma team, except for Gianluigi Buffon and Crespo, were not very good, and several of them could even be described as sluggish!

This was indeed the case, with Veron, who was responsible for the playmaking, being inactive throughout the game under Gattuso's watchful attention, and leading scorer Chiesa was forced off before the end of the first half due to an unexpected collision with Stam and an old injury. Had it not been for Gianluigi Buffon and Crespo who had been like a chicken on the night, Fiorentina would have been in danger of a bloody massacre at Parma's home stadium.

Although the players did not meet Capello's expectations and only drew 2-2 with Parma, the two away goals in the first leg and the second leg of the match between the two sides were played at the Stadio Franqui gave Fiorentina fans a lot of optimism about the team's prospects in the Coppa Italia and even more hope that the team can finish the season with a league and domestic cup double.

While Fabio Capello was gearing up for the second leg, Fiorentina's players welcomed the 33rd round of Serie A this weekend, three days after the first leg against Parma. This time, they will be at home to take on the challenge of Lazio Blue Eagles!
