Let’s talk about the undercurrents inside Juventus for now, let’s look at Florence.

After returning from Vicenza, Fiorentina players welcomed their first game after advancing to the quarterfinals of the Champions League on the evening of March 30. This time, Purple Lily's opponent in the quarter-finals was the La Liga giants Barcelona.

For being able to face-to-face with Barcelona in the Champions League, Effenberg and Vieri are naturally the most exciting things in Fiorentina. Not to mention anything else, just being able to fight Rivaldo, who they dislike the most, is enough to make them fight

Who made this unsightly Brazilian successfully won last year's World Footballer and European Golden Ball Awards with just one La Liga Championship and some goals full of personal heroism? Effenberg and Vieri, who won the third place in the two selections, but surpassed Rivaldo in honor, will naturally be hostile to the Brazilian striker - they want to prove to everyone in this direct contest with Barcelona that it is an extremely wrong choice to make Rivaldo the double-level master!

Therefore, in the first leg of the two sides, Effenberg and Vieri performed extremely hard in the game. The former showed extremely high standards on both offense and defense. Not only did they assist Vieri to score on the offensive end, but they also assisted Carlos and Redondo and other teammates to successfully cut off the connection between Barcelona's midfielders, splitting and surrounding Figo and Luis Enrique, forcing them to fall into a situation of fighting alone with their own players; the latter even used two goals to help Fiorentina get a two-to-two draw at the Camp Nou Stadium, allowing Purple Lily to escape unscathed while the Catalan capital was also able to score two crucial away goals!

In fact, if Rivaldo hadn't suddenly started superstar mode in the last twenty minutes of the second half and had his super personal ability to convert two opportunities that were not opportunities into goals, I'm afraid Barcelona would have lost at their own home court.

Although he did not lose at home, the result of the first leg still made Barcelona feel very uncomfortable - not to mention winning Fiorentina without the help of home games. Just the result of being taken away by the opponent is enough to make the Red and Blues feel in crisis, and being scored by Purple Lily two away goals made the Catalan giant feel that the hope of advancing to the semi-finals of the Champions League has become quite slim.

Even Barcelona, ​​which is known for its attack power, cannot guarantee that they can defeat Fiorentina in the second leg of the Frankie Stadium. After all, Purple Lily's attack power is not inferior to Barcelona at all, and its defensive level will be even better than this Spanish giant. Therefore, unless the whole team of Fiorentina is in a sluggish state, or if there is any superstar in Barcelona standing up like Rivaldo to solve the entire defense line of Fiorentina, otherwise, when the home court is tied with the opponent, the situation of Barcelona's promotion will not be optimistic.

However, with the wonderful performance of this game, Rivaldo reversed the views of many fans and was able to stand up to save the team when the whole team was suppressed by the opponent, making the Brazilian's identity as a double-profile gentleman look a bit worthy of his name.

After returning from Spain, Fiorentina welcomed their opponents in the 28th round of the Serie A league on the first April Fools' Day in the new century, Bologna led by two veterans Signori and Paliuca.

Although Fiorentina has the upper hand in overall strength and has a home advantage, in the eyes of most media and fans, Purple Lily's winning range is naturally much larger than Bologna, and it is no problem to score three points; but unfortunately, the two veterans in Bologna became the disruptors in this game!

Paliuca, who was already thirty-four years old, dreamed back to his peak that night. The former Italian goalkeeper tried to keep the goal safe in the game, fully allowing the Fiorentine player to understand what it means to be a man who is a man who is not able to open the door; and Signori also showed the style of a former Serie A golden boot. The shooting maniac used his left foot with only 38 yards to splash the opponent's opponent Hepia three times and pierced through the goal guarded by Toldo, which was so angry that the latter beat the turf with his fist.

On the Fiorentina side, although Heinquez took into account the impact of the two matches on the players in a week and made a large rotation of the starting lineup to ensure the players' condition in this game, the players seemed to have consumed too much energy in the mid-week battle with Barcelona, ​​and many players seemed a little unhappy.

The most obvious one is the starting goalkeeper Toldo, who is very dedicated to the Italian No. 2 national goalkeeper and has a very upright attitude towards the game. However, he consumed too much energy in the contest with Barcelona's top attacker three days ago, and he was not particularly excited when facing opponents of Bologna's level.

Anyone who knows Toldo should know that this goalkeeper is a typical state goalkeeper. When he is excited, he is like a god descending to earth. He can block any shot; on the contrary, Toldo is an ordinary excellent goalkeeper, who will not make low-level mistakes and can save the balls he should save, but don’t expect him to make any wonderful saves to save the team.

Unfortunately, the match between Fiorentina and Bologna happened to be a day when Tordo couldn't get excited! Or it could be said that Tordo's passion was exhausted in the match against Barcelona three days ago...

In the end, when the game ended, Fiorentina lost to Bologna 1-3 at home, revealing the biggest upset in this round of Serie A!

Although Fiorentina lost, since Juventus was defeated by third-ranked Lazio at home in the game the next day, the lead of Purple Lily did not narrow after this round, and there was still an eight-point gap with the second-place team.

However, Florence was not happy about the news. Because the day after the game with Bologna, they received another news from the physiotherapy center that they couldn't be happy at all. During a routine physical examination organized by Thomas Carter after the game, Ronaldo was found to have problems with his right knee ligament and tendon, which took three months to thoroughly recuperate, otherwise it was very likely to cause a major injury that endangered his career!
