After a big victory over Piacenza at home, the entire Fiorentina team flew to Germany to prepare for the upcoming second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Although Florence attaches enough importance to Dortmund in this game, in general, the players' mentality is still relatively relaxed. After all, when the total score is already five to zero, the probability of the Germans completing a turnaround in the second round can be said to be infinitely close to zero.

Therefore, for this second round of game, Capello did not send the strongest lineup to fight, but made a large rotation of the starting lineup to ensure that the players have sufficient physical fitness to deal with the subsequent events.

Desanctis, Fortunato, Matrazi, Ferrara, Angela, Tomasi, Dibiagio, Zanetti, Ze Roberto, Effenberg, Ronaldo and Batistuta, this is the starting list of Fiorentina in this game.

Looking at the home team, the 0-to-5 defeat in the first round put a huge pressure on the whole team of Dortmund. Andres Muller, who had always seen the head coach dislike, began to make trouble in the team, trying every means to drive Scala away, and he would be the boss of the team.

Under this heavy pressure from all sides, Scala, who has always been annoyed in the team, finally broke out. He directly used a quick knife to cut the mess and into the cold palace, and helped the genius young man Lars Ricken to be the main midfielder of the team. He also promoted some players from the youth training echelon and bench to replace Summer and Paul Sousa who were reimbursed throughout the season, and finally established his prestige within the team.

Compared to the luxurious army under Heathfield last season with a group of good players such as Summer, Riddle, Ann Muller, Coral, etc., the Dortmund built by Scala seems a bit star-blank, but it was this slightly popular team that played a wonderful game in the second round of the confrontation with Fiorentina!

Chap Issat used his smart running and accurate shooting skills to score two consecutive games in the 18th and 36th minutes, leading the home team to establish a two-goal lead at the end of the first half; at the same time, when Fiorentina launched a counterattack in the second half, and Ronaldo and Batistuta tied the score two-to-two, the Swiss star stepped forward and assisted Ricken to score at the front of the penalty area.

If Philip Inzaghi, who came on as a substitute, had received a pass from Ze Roberto in injury time, he would have probably won at Westphalia Stadium.

In the end, when the game ended, Fiorentina, who played away, stubbornly tied the score to three-to-three in an unfavorable situation of falling behind two goals, and eliminated last season's Champions League runner-up Borussia Dortmund with a total score of 8-3, and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League with its head held high!

The Fiorentine players who returned from the Champions League were not given much rest time. After two days of rest in Fiorentina, Capello and his players rushed to southern Italy without stopping to prepare for the 25th round of the league with Little Pepper Lecce.

Although Lecce, who performed poorly in the Serie A this season, is currently ranked third from the bottom in the standings, only higher than the two teams Napoli and Empoli, who have been competing for the bottom position, while Fiorentina is the leader of the league. The huge gap in strength between the two sides makes the result of this game seem to be unsurprising.

But the result of the game was that the leader Fiorentina was so spicy that it was so spicy that it was made by this little pepper. Since Fiorentina had returned to Italy for a few days, and had an extremely fierce game with Dortmund in Germany, the Fiorentina players who played away in the afternoon of March 15 were not very excited, and were also a little listless by the warm and humid climate of the Mediterranean.

This performance of Fiorentina naturally gave Lecce players hope to score points at their home court.

When the game reached the 18th minute, Lecce midfielder Maspero took advantage of a frontcourt set piece and helped Little Pepper, who played at home, gain a goal lead!

Stimulated by the zero-to-one fall, the Fiorentine players finally came back to their senses in the warm sunshine, remembering that they were still playing games.

At the same time, Capellona's cold eyes made all the Fiorentine players on the court unconsciously make a chill - they know that whenever the head coach puts this expression, it means that some of them are in trouble; and if they only look at their performance for more than ten minutes just now, they will probably be in trouble this time!

Looking back on the horror that Capello once brought them, these players in Fiorentina don’t want to experience another special high-intensity training package created by Capello, the Fiorentina coaching staff, and sports medicine experts from the physiotherapy center!

Therefore, the Fiorentine players launched a fierce counterattack in the following time, pushing Lecce, who was fighting at home, back to their own half and started a half-court offensive and defensive drill!

It seems that Fiorentina overtakes the score and completing the reversal is only a matter of time, but scoring goals sometimes really depends on luck.

When you are lucky, you can easily score goals, and you can play whatever you want. If you encounter bad luck, even if the players face empty goals, they will have the possibility of directly hitting the plane.

The Fiorentine players were not lucky in this game. Whether it was Vieri's header, Costa's free kick, or Davis and Carlos' long shots, they could not break open the goal guarded by Lecce goalkeeper Lorielli. Even the shots from three meters in front of the goal in the 63rd minute, the players who shot strangely on the post of the goal and bounced out of the baseline... The difference in luck this afternoon in Fiorentine's afternoon shows this.

In desperation, Capello had to send a super substitute Julio Cruise to partner with Vieri to form a double tower in the front line. Inzaggi was with the two to see if he could reverse this extremely unlucky situation for Fiorentina.

Cruise did not disappoint Capello's expectations, or it could be said that only his luck in the whole team of Fiorentina was able to maintain normal levels this afternoon: the Argentine center took a header from Rui Costa in the 93rd minute, making the home team's about to get a three-pointer, and also allowing Fiorentina to avoid the fate of losing at the last moment.
