After this make-up match, Fiorentina once again widened the gap between the second place in the standings, because Inter Milan, who was originally following Fiorentina, was tied by Cagliari and Vicenza in these two rounds of the league. The four consecutive draws in the league not only allowed Hodgson's team to reach a full eleven points after the twelve rounds of the league, but also allowed the Nerazzurri to be surpassed by his arch rival Juventus and fell to the third place in the standings.
The Juventus players who finally improved the team's league rankings by one can't laugh, because they sadly discovered that there is also a ten-point gap between Juventus and Fiorentina...
The league has just passed the second round of the league and was left by the leader for a full tenth. If the season ends... all fans who pay attention to the League One can no longer imagine it.
Such dominant performance, coupled with the title of "All-Crown" that Florence just won, these honors have caused the number of fans of Purple Lily to rise sharply around the world, and Florence's peripheral products have also been sold well. The sharply increased product revenue has made Kenyon, who is in charge of market operations, look like he is smiling at everyone recently.
Seeing that the second-ranked Zebra Legion has such a huge point gap with Fiorentina, Juventus' mouthpiece "Turin Sports" couldn't help but lament: After the end of the Milan dynasty, the Serie A League ushered in the dominance of Fiorentina. When will the great Juventus recover its glory in the 1970s and 1980s?
As for Sachi's AC Milan, there is no need to mention. The ending of returning home in the Champions League group stage made the morale of the Ross and Blacks extremely low. After losing to Piacenza away, their current score of 14 points behind Fiorentina made all Milan fans feel desperate.
On December 15, the 13th round of Serie A was scheduled. Florence went to Friuli Stadium to challenge Udinese. Since Wuji had no power to fight back against Florence last season, Capello thought it was not very difficult for the team to win this game. So, Capello, who planned to let the main players take a good rest, conducted a large rotation of the main lineup when arranging the starting list. Substitutes such as Tomasi, Viljoward, Zanetti, and Stam all started.
What Capello did not expect was that the offensive trident carefully created by Zacheroni would be so sharp. Bierkhov's header, Amoruso's dribbling, and Jorgensen's pass made Fiorentina's copycat defense line lose one and another, and conceded two goals in the first half, ending the first half with a score of zero to two.
Capello had no choice but to replace Nesta and Ronaldo during the halftime break. Fiorentina, who had greatly improved its offense and defense, recovered. On the road, he played a defensive counterattack with Udinese, who only knew how to attack, and achieved remarkable results.
First, Amoruso dribbled the ball by Zanetti in the 68th minute. The latter drove the clearance ball towards Udinese and was first obtained by the fast Glencier. The Danes broke into the penalty area and divided the ball into the middle. Ronaldo beat the horse and shot it into the net, rewriting the score to one-two, and Fiorentina recovered one point!
However, offensive madman Zacheroni ignored the goal and stood on the sidelines and shouted loudly, asking Udinese players to continue attacking forward - because Zachroni knew best about his own affairs. If Udinese was really allowed to relax the offense and defend carefully, then he would inevitably face a failure.
In Italy, everyone knows that he and Czech coach Zeman are the ones who know how to train defense the most. When defending, they rely entirely on the players' personal abilities, and the system basically does not exist.
To play with shortcomings and avoid strengths is not an order a head coach should give, so in this case, Zachelloni can only bet whether his team scores first to expand the score or Fiorentina scores another goal to tie the score.
When the last twenty minutes of the game were exhausted, the Fiorentine players left the stadium with a look of glory, while Zacheroni comforted his players on the sidelines.
At this time, the score displayed on the big screen of the stadium is - 2 to 2!
Fiorentina launched a quick counterattack in the 88th minute of the game. Glencier, who had already sent an assist, once again stepped out of his long legs and ran forward with the ball. However, the Udinese defenders who were running without the ball were not able to catch up with his speed...
The Danish winger, who formed a single-handed attack, had no brains and made some low-level mistakes such as hitting the plane. Facing Udinese's goalkeeper, he accelerated the ball to the right and easily threw away the home team goalkeeper who attacked. Then he pushed the ball with his right foot and scored, rewriting the score to two-to-two.
Fiorentina tied the score at the last moment! Successfully maintained its unbeaten golden body since the start of this season!
However, Capello, who almost capsized the gutter in this game, opened a "hair dryer" for these players after the game, especially Dutch central defender Stam.
"Jap (Stam), you must have some judgment. You can't always expect your partner to remind you to be careful about anything." Although it is a hair dryer, Capello obviously chose not to have a high power this time. "It is a good thing to grab the positive, but everything must be done in a certain way. Too much is not good."
"Okay, I will remember it, boss, don't worry." Stam accepted Capello's criticism seriously. This Dutch big man has always worked diligently in the team's training and basically won't cause any trouble. His defensive level has also improved rapidly, so Capello was very relieved of his verbal guarantees.
In the following week, Fiorentina hosted the first leg of the Copa Italian quarter-finals at home, their opponent was Vicenza, also from Serie A.
Vicenza performed well in Serie A this season, with five wins, five draws and three losses making them even surpass Parma in the current standings. With no worries, Zhuge Guidolin made his main players in this game and was preparing to seek a breakthrough in the Italian Cup.
Capello also sent all the birds that can be sent to the court. After all, there are only two games left before the winter break. It is best to try to win a game like the Italian Cup.
However, Fiorentina, full of confidence, was quite lucky because they encountered an Otero in this game. The Uruguayan scored four consecutive goals in this game, and used a big four to kill Zi Lily, who had a home advantage, and helped the visiting team defeat the newly released champion four-to-two.
