Chapter 301: Four consecutive wins

After Fiorentina opened the scoring, both sides worked very hard for the rest of the game, and the home team aimed to equalize or even overtake the score as soon as possible, so they launched a fierce attack on Fiorentina's door at all costs; Fiorentina, who played away from home, responded with composure and continued to use Costa's precise passes to create sharp and quick counter-attacks.

In the 37th minute, Albertini went through the middle and the ball penetrated the midfield barrier of Tacinadi and Kripa before being met by Weah, but the Liberian's shot was blocked by Nesta, who returned in time.

Boban's corner was headed out of the box by Filicano and Fiorentina launched a quick counter-attack, but Inzaghi's shot from inside the box was grazed over the crossbar by Rossi's glove, which was Fiorentina's best chance to extend their lead before half-time.

The intensity of the game continued unabated as the second half began, but Lady Luck apparently took a nap today, neither Simeone's volley nor Batistuta's powerful volley could change the scoreline.

In the end, Roberto Baggio's first-half goal became the only goal of the game, and Fiorentina also sealed the Serie A trophy two rounds ahead of schedule with this valuable goal!

When the referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the match, the San Siro Stadium fell silent for a moment, with only the thousands of Fiorentina fans gathered in a corner of the stands cheering for the team's second consecutive league title.

What humiliates AC Milan fans is not that the team has lost all four again this season, but that AC Milan has never won against Fiorentina in this whole season!

On December 23, 1995, in the fifteenth round of Serie A, AC Milan lost 0-2 away;

On April 3, 1996, in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semifinals, AC Milan lost 0:1 at home to Fiorentina;

On April 10, in the second leg of the semi-finals, AC Milan faced Fiorentina again, only to suffer the third defeat of the season, and they finally lost 0-2 to Fiorentina at the Stadio Frankie after being affected by the news of Capello's departure before the game;

Today's 32nd round of Serie A is the first meeting between AC Milan and Fiorentina this season, and AC Milan fans don't want to see the team lose, whether it's to prevent Fiorentina from winning the title early or not wanting to be beaten four times in a single season.

To the disappointment of AC Milan fans, AC Milan lost, conceding only one goal, but the team still failed to get a win from the opposition, even at Milan's home stadium, San Siro......

This season, Fiorentina and AC Milan have faced each other four times, with a record of winning all four, scoring six goals against each other while trying to keep their own goal open, which is enough to prove that Fiorentina is strong now!

Fiorentina fans are naturally delighted with the team's achievement, but AC Milan fans are not in a good mood, considering that in the 97-year history of AC Milan, they have never been beaten by a team four times in a season, and the glory of previous years has whetted their appetite.

The cruel reality of being beaten four times by Fiorentina in a single season finally made Milan fans realize the current situation, the current AC Milan is no longer the king of the team that can sweep Serie A and even the whole of Europe, although it can still be called a strong team, but the current Rossoneri has obviously lost that kind of deterrent to opponents.

AC Milan was also disappointed by their big boss Silvio Berlusconi, although his "culprit" Capello had voluntarily announced his departure at the end of the season, he still angrily criticized Galliani, who is in charge of the club's operations, and ordered him to reorganize the team this summer.

After being scolded by his boss, he immediately began to work on the rebuilding of AC Milan, but the most important point for the Rossoneri at the moment is which coach will take over Capello's legacy......

AC Milan aside, let's take a look at the situation on Fiorentina's side.

After winning the Serie A trophy two rounds in advance, Fiorentina's players still celebrated in the players' canteen at the training ground, without even taking a sip of wine - for the simple reason that Fiorentina will host the Coppa Italia final (first leg) against Atalanta in three days' time!

So, in this atmosphere, while the Fiorentina players are excited to successfully defend their league title, they are well aware that there are still three crucial games to play, starting with the upcoming Coppa Italia final!

If anyone dares to drink and celebrate at this juncture, it is obviously killing themselves, after all, the coaches and team doctors who secretly stare at the players in the corner of the cafeteria are not just decorations.

If you want to drink, you have to wait until the Champions Cup final is over! It was an unspoken understanding between all Fiorentina players.

……

On May 1, the first leg of the Coppa Italia final was played at the Frankie Stadium as scheduled, and in the face of this team that can only be regarded as middle and lower in the league, Ranieri, who did not dare to be lightly beaten, still sent a very strong starting lineup, except for Vieri, who replaced Barty and started the game, which can be regarded as a pure bench player, and the rest of the players are at least the main rotation level.

In the face of Atalanta, who were going to fight against themselves at the Frankie Stadium, the Fiorentina players with more experience in the game firmly grasped the initiative on the field under the dispatch of Effenberg, forcing the overall formation of Atalanta to retreat continuously, so that the manager of Atalanta had to temporarily change his tactics, let the team take a defensive position, and planned to use defensive counterattacks to deal with the home team's powerful offensive.

However, the Atalanta manager's choice fell into the trap of Fiorentina, knowing that the defensive counterattack is not something that any team can play - at least not a team with a predominantly young player, who is too young to lose his breath, and no matter how good the player's individual defensive ability is, it may not be able to guarantee that the whole game can be played consistently to withstand the continuous onslaught of the opponent.

Moreover, Atalanta, who are predominantly young, are more attacking than others, as evidenced by the 49 goals they have conceded in Serie A this season...... Counter-attacking is the last thing these talented youngsters are good at – Atalanta's head coach is thinking about how he can be more effective against Fiorentina on the road, but forgetting his team's strengths.

In the end, Atalanta, who were cheated by their own manager, could not withstand Fiorentina's attack, and after repeated mistakes in defence, they conceded a goal in each half and lost the first leg of the Coppa Italia final 2-0.
