Evans' situation is about this, and now let's turn our attention from Liverpool to Florence.

After returning to Italy, Fiorentina ushered in a Cup of Italian match, which is different from the previous single-elimination match system in the first round. From this round, the Italian Cup will adopt a two-round match system at home and away.

This time, Fiorentina's opponent in the Copa Italy is Sampdoria, a sea blue army that has changed a lot every year.

On October 26, the first leg of the two teams was held at the Ferraris Stadium, home court in Sampdoria.

This summer, affected by factors such as Mantovani's continued mischief in the transfer market and the team's poor performance, Sampdoria lost the old captain and team's spiritual leader Robert Mancini and head coach Eriksson this summer. After several months of quarrel with the club, Karenbu finally landed in the Iberian Peninsula with a net worth of US$8 million.

In order to make up for the negative impact of these people leaving the team, Mantovani Jr. invited the meritorious coach Menorti, who led the Pampas Eagles to win the World Cup for the first time, and introduced the Golden Bomber Klinsmann from Bayern Munich to partner with Montera on the front line. In addition, Mantovani Jr. also spent a lot of money to buy Angel Morales from the Argentine Independent team based on Mentoti's suggestion. The Argentine coach believes that this young front midfielder can become the second Maradona.

In Fiorentina, affected by the team's recent continuous battles, Capello continued to rotate the team's starting lineup significantly in this game to maintain the players' competitive state while minimizing the chances of their injuries due to excessive fatigue.

Therefore, in this game, Capello sent a starting lineup of main players and substitutes based on the recommendations provided by the physiotherapy center: goalkeeper De Sanctis, four defenders are Fortunato, Stam, Nesta and Angeloma; in the midfield, Rui Costa became the core of Florence's organization in this game, and Brazilian Ze Roberto helped the Portuguese attract the attention of opponent's defensive players so that Costa can organize the offense more calmly.

The other two starting midfielders were obtained by Tomasi and Zanetti. The main task of these two young players is to undertake the defensive tasks of the Fiorentine midfielder. After all, although Zeroberto and Rui Costa are very active in defense, their defensive abilities can also play a harassed role. Therefore, Tomasi and Zanetti, who are proactive in defense and have abundant physical fitness, are Capello's first choice.

On the forward line, Julio Cruise, who has not gotten a chance to play for a long time, made a starter. His forward partner is alien Ronaldo.

After the game started, Sampdoria, who played at home, was at a disadvantage and was pushed in his half by Fiorentina!

The attack line composed of Cruise, Ronaldo, Costa, Ze Roberto and others completely suppressed the Sampdoria players. One wave after another made Sampdoria's gate like a lonely boat floating in the huge waves, and there was a possibility of overturning at any time!

Sampdoria, who is passive everywhere, has tried to counterattack. It is entirely possible to seize several opportunities to counterattack and score goals with a passer master Peron and a first-class striker like Montera.

However, Sampdoria was sadly encountering a very good-looking Desanctis.

Although this was only the second time Desanctis started for Fiorentina, he did not feel any fright in the game, but instead showed excellent competitive state: he first made a decisive attack in the 21st minute and confiscated Montera's single shot; then in the 28th minute, he shot Veron's free kick that was directly at the corner of the goal and raised the baseline. After Veron took a corner kick, he jumped high again and directly took the ball in the air with both hands, allowing the Sampdoria player who was planning to attack the goal to return in vain... Desanctis' wonderful performance ran through the entire game!

If it is God's will to meet a teammate who is in a very good state, then the group of unsatisfactory teammates surrounding Peron and Montera will be completely man-made.

The forward combination that Menotti arranged in this game was luxurious, with Golden Bomber Klinsmann, three-time Serie A Golden Boot winner Signori, and the three small plane Montera starting at the same time!

In terms of fame and book strength alone, the combination of these three is by no means inferior to other European giant teams, and they were in very good shape last season: Klinsmann scored fifteen goals in the Bundesliga last season, Signori scored fifteen goals in Lazio, not to mention Montera, as the Serie A silver boot last season, he has proved his ability.

No matter how you look at it, Sampdoria's forward combination is enough for any Serie A team's defense. However, in terms of the actual results so far this season, the combination of these three well proves that football is not a simple addition and subtraction.

Klinsmann and Signori both encountered a long goal drought this season, resulting in the seemingly powerful forward trident being able to support Montera alone.

Morales, introduced as Maradona's successor, was proved to be a high-priced parallel. Faced with the iron-blooded defense of Serie A defenders, this Argentine midfielder often steals from the court and does not see anyone for dozens of minutes.

The old captain Mancini, who was originally responsible for the last pass, and Karenbu, the midfielder's iron gate, flew away. With such a bunch of unsatisfactory teammates, no matter how good Montra and Perron were, they would still be unable to beat four-handed with two fists.

In the 16th minute of the game, Ze Roberto passed the Baleri on the left and made a cross. Cruise, who followed in the middle, jumped directly to the top, and the ball that changed the direction of the flight flew straight into Sampdoria's goal, one to zero!

In the 37th minute, Ze Roberto attracted Baleri's attention and passed the ball to Fortunato who was inserted into the side. The latter's cross once again helped Cruise knock on Sampdoria's goal, and the score became 2-0!

In the 62nd minute, Cruise headed the ball to break through the goal guarded by Fabricio Feron for the third time. Manini's old man was fully exposed in front of Cruise's header bombardment again and again!

Cruise seemed extremely excited when he started the first time this season. The Argentine center ran to the stands where the Fiorentine fans were, took off his jersey, waved wildly, enjoying the cheers of the Fiorentine fans and the scolding from the Samp fans.
Chapter completed!
