After defeating Parma at home, Fiorentina achieved a record of 17 wins, four draws and three losses in the twenty-four rounds of Serie A. Although this result is a little shabby compared to previous seasons, Purple Lily can still leave other teams behind and dominate the top of the standings!

In addition, the Champions League easily defeated Arsenal in the first leg and entered the finals of the Cup... This series of dazzling results has given Fiorentina still hopes to defend the triple crown so far. Therefore, although the team's performance this season has fluctuated, under the championship of the Champions League, the locker room in Florence still maintains a good atmosphere and there is no sign of unstable people.

Compared to Florence, which plays triumphant songs on all fronts, Parma's situation this season is somewhat unfavorable. After former head coach Ancelotti turned to the embrace of the Zebra Legion, although Parma appointed Maresani as the new head coach of the Milk Legion as soon as possible, stabilizing the morale of Fatty Ann's army that began to turbulent after leaving, and also introduced Peron, a strong aid from Sampdoria, the change in the team's coaching position still had a significant negative impact on Parma's performance.

It is precisely because of this change that when the league reached its sprint stage, Parma, which has been regarded as a strong contender for the Serie A championship a few years ago, has been left far behind by the previous championship group, and can only lower its goal to win a place in the Champions League next season.

However, Parma has performed well in the European Champions League this season. Led by Malezani, who has a flexible and changeable coaching skills, Parma defeated Portuguese giant Porto 3-1 away in one-eighth of the game last week, taking a solid step towards the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

It was precisely because of his outstanding results in the Champions League that Malesani retained his position as coach and did not have the fate of being fired by the club due to his poor league record.

However, after losing the showdown with Fiorentina, the senior Parma leaders led by Francesca began to doubt Malezani's coaching ability again. After all, the league can still play in this kind of moral character when the team has introduced many strong players, and it has fallen to the point where it has to fight for the quota of the Champions League. The head coach has absolutely unshirkable responsibility!

Of course, Francesca would not say that the reason why she looked down on Maresani was because she learned during a chat with her best friend Rebecca Groz that Zhuang Mingge was not interested in the coach she selected, and the evaluation she gave was only "a head coach with rich tactical knowledge but no highlights in other aspects".

Although Zhuang Mingge controls Florence, which he controls, is a direct competitor of Parma, Francesca believes in the other party's vision. The most important thing is that the Florence president has always had a high kindness to her and Parma, and his actions are mostly mutually beneficial, which is completely different from the powerful and domineering style of Moji and Galliani.

After talking about Parma, let’s look at Florence. After a week of rest, the entire Fiorentina team came to northeastern Italy. They will play a 25th round of Serie A with Venice in this world-famous Water Capital.

Venice's performance in the first half of Serie A was quite consistent with its situation of neither financial resources nor foundation. This newly promoted team almost went straight to the relegation zone in a free fall movement. In everyone's opinion, this bottom team will undoubtedly occupy a place in the relegation zone at the end of the season.

However, this trend has changed dramatically after Venice stolen the effort to use most of the transfer budgets to Recoba from Inter Milan on loan. Starting from the 17th round of Serie A, Venice has achieved four wins, two draws and two losses in the last eight rounds of Serie A, and has won fourteen league points - which is three more points than the total number they have obtained in the first sixteen league rounds!

By the way, Venice's opponents in these eight rounds of the league not only defeated direct competitors like Perugia who were in the same relegation battle with him, but also killed strong opponents like Udinese and Roma, and even unexpectedly made Parma and Juventus, which were undoubtedly giants in Venice's eyes, only ended in a depressed draw after the game - this shows the huge changes that Recoba brought to Venice's Serie Imperial team.

It is precisely because of Recoba's existence that Capello was very serious and repeatedly instilled in all players when holding the pre-match meeting that Venice, which owns Recoba, has become a completely different team, a terrible opponent who will capsize his own gutter if he is not careful.

"Just say this, some of you may still disagree with it. They think that Recoba is just a person, and no matter how capable he is, he will not be able to defeat us who are better than us. But I must say here, put away all your thoughts of underestimating the enemy!" Capello emphasized with a serious expression on this meeting on the bus, "So, I require all the players who play today to take this game seriously! Don't think that we can win a victory in Venice this time just because we easily won the other side in the first match!"

That being said, Capello could not really do his best in this game, because in three days Fiorentina will usher in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals with Arsenal at home. If too many main players are used in this league, the result of the mid-week Champions League match will be an unknown.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the team can advance smoothly in the Champions League, Capello had to rotate most of the main players in this game with Venice, and put young players led by Pirlo and Dinatale, as well as substitutes such as Voger, Madawikia, and Fortunato on the starting list.

Otherwise, with the combat effectiveness of the main lineup of Fiorentina, let alone a mere Recoba, even if you create a Serie A All-Star team, you may not be able to beat Fiorentina!

By the way, Ferrara, who has recovered from serious injuries, has not been selected for the starting lineup in this game. After all, the nine-month recovery period has made the state of the former Italian national team's main central defender unpredictable (Note: After the French World Cup in this world, the combination of Nesta and Cannavaro became the first choice of old Maldini, and Matrazi was the first substitute for the two). Therefore, for the team's record, Capello had to put it aside for the time being and prepare to give Ferrara some chances to play after the overall situation of the league has been decided and gradually regain the form of the game.
