On the evening of February 23, Frankie Stadium will witness a peak showdown, with both sides of the game being the current league leader Florence and second-ranked Juventus.

Well, although that's it, if you look at the standings carefully, you will find that although the rankings between Fiorentina and Juventus are only one place, the points of the two teams are almost insurmountable. Purple Lily has achieved an unbeaten record of 16 wins and 4 draws in the past twenty league rounds, while the Zebras' record is 10 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses and has 37 points.

No matter how you look at it, with fourteen rounds left in the league, the gap between Juventus and Fiorentina is too big. If Fiorentina wins this round, then Purple Lily's lead will further expand to 18 points!

Therefore, the so-called peak showdown is not so eye-catching against this situation. After all, even if Fiorentina loses, it still has a double-digit advantage. Juventus wins, it only slightly makes up for the originally huge gap.

Furthermore, since both sides have Champions League games to play in the middle of the week, in this game, Capello and Lippi, the two head coaches, chose to stay in the European game.

The starting lineup for Fiorentina is goalkeeper Toldo, four defenders are Fortunato, Stam, Nesta and Angeloma. In the midfield, Zanetti and Tomasi are both responsible for the defensive work. Rui Costa is in the center to organize the team's offense. On the forward line, since Inzagi and Ronaldo are both hidden by Capello because of the first leg game with Manchester United in the middle of the week, Capello sent out a three-forward formation. The front is Argentine god Batistuta. On both sides of him, Frenchman Djokaf and Danish winger Glencier are responsible for giving Bati a comfortable pass.

Fiorentina sent a mixed-use lineup, while Juventus seemed to be doing more straightforwardly. Lippi really planned to fight in the Champions League. In this game, he hid two absolute main players, Pierro and Zidane, replaced by Padovano and Lombardo. In addition, Croatian Boksic, who was at the forefront, Juventus also looked like a three-forward striker in this game; in the midfield, Frenchman Deschamps also did not enter the starting lineup, Tacinadi and Antonio Conte, who returned from injury, joined forces to be responsible for the midfield defense, and Jugovic became the core of the organization; on the defense line, there is a combination of Dilivio, Montero, Blanc and Polini, and the goalkeeper is still Peruzzi.

The tactics used by both sides were unexpectedly very similar, both strengthening the interception efforts of the midfield, and then forming a breakthrough on the wing through the midfield organizer's pass, and finally the strong center solved the battle. In this case where even the game tactics crashed, if you want to win, you will be fighting for the personal abilities of the players on both sides and the luck in the game!

When the game reached the 21st minute, there were loud cheers in the stands at Frankie Stadium.

After Tomasi and Fortunato joined forces to stop Juventus' attack, they immediately launched a quick counterattack. Rui Costa passed the ball to Glencier on the right. The Danes threw away their long legs and started to drive the ball at high speed!

Dilivio wanted to stop Glenshare, but the speed gap between the two made Dilivio unable to catch up with the Danes at all.

After Glencier found that he had thrown Dilivio away for a long time, he immediately passed the ball to the middle and handed it to Batistuta who pulled out of the penalty area to respond. After receiving the ball, Bati made a fake move to turn around and shoot. After attracting the attention of Blanke and Montero, he passed the ball to Rui Costa who had just caught up!

The Portuguese midfielder did not stop the ball and directly passed the ball to Djokav who was inserted on the left!

After raising his foot and stopped the ball, Djokaf did not rush to break through Polini in the front, but looked up and observed the situation in the penalty area, making the opponent mistakenly think that he was going to cross, and then suddenly passed the ball to Fortunato who was inserted in time!

Unmarked Fortunato quickly took the ball and passed the ball to Juventus' penalty area!

At this time, Juventus' defense line had been ripped off by the series of rapid passes just now by Fiorentina, so Barty easily stopped the ball under Blank's defense, and immediately swung his left foot and made a powerful shot!

The ball bounced on the lawn, then flew over Peruzzi's hand and rushed into the door behind him!

"Gooooooal! The goal was Batistuta! A wonderful and powerful shot! The ball hit the turf and made a change of direction and flew into the goal guarded by Peruzzi! Fiorentina now leads Juventus with one goal at home!"

Amid the cheers of Fiorentine fans, Batistuta rushed over and hugged Fortunato, who gave him an assist, and Djokaf and others also ran over to join in the fun and celebrated the goal together.

However, with the intervention of the referee, the celebration of the Fiorentine players did not last long, and they soon returned to their own half and waited for the game to start again.

It has to be said that Juventus's willpower is strong enough. When he was one goal behind, Yugovic took advantage of Zanetti's man-tapping mistake and received Lombardo's back pass in the 60th minute of the game and scored a long shot, tied the score one-to-one.

After being equalized by Juventus, Capello immediately made a substitution adjustment. He replaced Bati, who had the first record for the team, and sent Julio Cruz, the Argentine fellow villager of the God of War, to the court. Capello still planned to continue to observe the skills of this Argentine center.

Cruise did not disappoint Capello's trust. When the Juventus player was about to win another goal and complete the reversal, Cruise, who had only three minutes on the bench, scored the goal with a corner kick. Rui Costa's ball was pushed into the goal guarded by Peruzzi!

The score on the field has become two-to-one! Fiorentina is leading again!

Capello was very excited about Cruise's goal. Although he had just had some expectations for the Argentine center when he sent Cruise, he didn't expect Cruise to give himself a big surprise with the goal so quickly.

With four substitutes on the bench, the Argentinian's super substitute deserves its reputation.

In the following time, although the two teams had offense and defense, neither of them broke through the opponent's goal. In the end, relying on a goal from Cruise, who came on the bench, Fiorentina defeated Juventus 2-1 at home, successfully widening the gap between the two sides to more than 18 points!
