After easily defeating Cagliari away, Fiorentina improved the league record this season to seven wins, one draw and one loss, and temporarily set a distance between the pursuers behind him in the standings with a score of 22 points. In the Champions League, Fiorentina, which achieved three wins and one draw with the results of home and away double defeats Galatasaray, has also determined a promotion place in Group B. The only suspense is who can win the top spot in the group in the end, so as to draw a relatively weak opponent in the knockout round of the Champions League quarterfinals next year.
Being able to lead Fiorentina to advance in the two most important battlefields of the Champions League and the League in the first time, without the pain caused by changing coaches, as the media expected, will cause Fiorentina to fall into a hard battle on all fronts, which shows that Heinx's coaching ability is still quite powerful.
At least not like Saki three years ago, he was able to win the thirteenth place in the league with the Ross and Blacks, who could compete with Fiorentina the previous season.
As the team's performance gets better and better, several new players who joined the team during the transfer period this summer, such as Carazze, Shevchenko and other players, have also been recognized by the fans by this east wind and have been officially accepted by the fans as part of Florence.
As a result, with the tension eased to a certain extent, the Fiorentine players performed quite well in the next few games in November.
On November 11, on this day when young people in the Celestial Empire called "Single's Day" in their previous life, Florence ushered in the second round of the Italian Cup.
Although Brazilian striker Amoruso, who failed to jump to Parma as in history, scored a goal to equalize the away team in the game, and his teammate Martin Jorgensen also performed well, but after all, two fists could not defeat four hands. Without the strong support of Zachelloni's offensive system, they alone could not stop Fiorentina, who was in good shape, and to win the victory.
In the end, with a hat trick by Shevchenko, Fiorentina passed the level without any danger, defeated the visiting Udinese with a score of 3-1 at Frankie Stadium, eliminated the Uchino from the Italian Cup and successfully entered the next round of knockout round.
Then, after another national team match day, the Serie A League that had been in a state of decline for a full half month rekindled. Florence, whose players returned to the team one after another, also ushered in the tenth round of Serie A with Vicenza on November 20.
Although Guidolin led Vicenza to a surprising victory over Manchester United in the European Super Cup final, which ruined the expected crowning ceremony of the new triple-winning champion, in the new season's Serie A field, facing various strong opponents who recruited troops in the summer, Vicenza, whose overall strength has declined a lot, is no longer able to continue the amazing highlights of previous seasons.
If Guidolin had not failed to live up to his title as Zhuge, and had the fastest speed to form this team that had replaced half of the first-team lineup, and at the same time, it had developed the offensive potential of the new leader of Barack, to replace the vacuum left by Ambrocchini, it would have been difficult for Vicenza's current team to compete for a mid-to-high-level seat in the league standings while taking into account the European stadium and the Italian Cup.
Thinking about those distracted from European competition after getting tickets to European competition, the team's league record plummeted in the next year, and some teams even paid the heavy price of relegation for this (for specific cases, please refer to Celta and Real Sociedad in the 2003-04 season), Zhuang Mingge truly felt that Vicenza Club should thank Guidolin, who worked hard for the team, who had been working hard for the team.
Since there is a key match for the Cup of Winners in the middle of next week, and the current Vicenza challenged Fiorentina, who has a home advantage and is in good shape, is indeed very small in the winning range, so Guidolin decisively sent a large number of substitutes in the starting lineup, such as C Lucarelli, Abidal and others to make up the numbers, which is obviously preparing to give up the league with Fiorentina and concentrate on preparing for the upcoming Cup of Winners.
In Guidolin's view, for Vicenza, who is now inadequate, maintaining the same progress on all fronts is an almost impossible task, so giving up this tough battle with Fiorentina and choosing to open a breakthrough in the Cup of Winners will naturally become Zhuge's first choice. After all, losing a league game is just three points missing, but if he loses in the Cup of Winners, Vicenza will have to bid farewell to this season's European arena.
Compared with the two, it is naturally clear which one is more important. After all, although Vicenza's strength has been greatly reduced and the depth of the bench is not as good as before, under Guidolin's planning, it is still no problem to ensure a mid-range position in the league at the end of the season.
In this way, Heinx, who thought there would be a tough battle tonight, was stunned for a moment after seeing Vicenza's starting lineup. He did not expect Guidolin to dare to send a full substitute to the bench when facing Fiorentina.
However, the knowledgeable German coach immediately reacted and realized that this was unable to support Vicenza's little Zhuge on various fronts, actively admitting surrender in a relatively obscure way.
After learning about Guidolin's idea, Heinx immediately changed his combat thinking and told the players to score goals as fast as possible after the game starts, and to relax properly after establishing an advantage, and not to drive away Vicenza.
The reason why Heinquez did this is not to let the players relax and play freely from the beginning of the game is mainly due to insurance reasons. If Fiorentina relaxes and plays hard and is unable to score a goal, it may make the opponent feel that there is an opportunity and lose the three-pointer he should have obtained in vain.
So, at Frankie Stadium that night, the players performed very positively from the opening whistle. Vieri relied on his BUG's physical strength to win two consecutive goals in just fifteen minutes after the game started, helping Fiorentina establish a two-goal lead!
Vicenza also cooperated very well. They did not show the intention of counterattacking and regaining the score when they were two goals behind. They just attacked several times in the following time and stopped after finding that the home team did not reveal any flaws.
