PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.

Juventus lost to Sampdoria, which means that the Zebras, who had been in full swing for more than half a season under the leadership of Trapatoni, finally could not bear the strong pressure from Purple Lily and began to fall at a disadvantage in the Serie A championship battle with Fiorentina!

You should know that since the start of the Serie A League this season, Juventus and Fiorentina have shown strength and dominance far exceeding the other eighteen Serie A clubs in the domestic arena. In order to overwhelm the opponents as soon as possible, these two teams are frantically harvesting one victory after another in the league, which makes other teams breathless.

Now, with Juventus' defeat, the situation of the Serie A championship has gradually become clearer. Although in the eyes of many people, Juventus has only lost one game, in fact, the various weaknesses exposed by the Zebras in this game are enough for these Serie A head coaches with extremely rich tactical knowledge to use.

The reason why Juventus was defeated by Sampdoria this time was that Zeman was well commanded and used crazy attacks to defeat Juventus' steel defense line. But the more important reason was that the two midfielders of the Zebras, Nedved and Emerson, were suspended due to accumulated yellow cards in this game, forcing Trapatoni to start Brassi and Pierro to try to make up for the impact of Nedved and Emerson's absence on the team's combat effectiveness. The result was that the midfield defense line composed of Brassi and Tachinadi was completely destroyed by Sampdoria's players and did not play much role in protecting the defense line, which forced Frey to face Sampdoria's direct impact again and again.

It can be said that after more than half a season of fierce competition, Juventus finally showed a trace of fatigue. Their weakness of insufficient depth on the bench was finally exposed with the absence of several Iron Man! This will also become Juventus' fatal weakness in the second half of the season!

It would be really incredible if these head coaches in Serie A did not learn some ways to cause trouble for Juventus from this game. What's more, this loss and the current situation of falling behind by three points are likely to completely extinguish the momentum that Juventus players have been holding on, giving Fiorentina a good opportunity to further expand their lead.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that if Trapatoni can't think of how to solve the problem of the huge gap between the team's main players and the substitute, then Juventus will be destined to encounter a lot of difficulties in the second half of the league.

After learning about Juventus' defeat away, the Fiorentine players who had finally settled the visiting Palermo were immediately filled with joy because the players who had been paying close attention to the movements and the situation in the Zebras immediately realized that the opportunity they had been waiting for was finally here!

So, in the 23rd round of Serie A three-day later, the imposing Fiorentina played a soul-stirring attack battle with Sampdoria at the Ferraris Stadium. The two teams scored a total of eight goals in the game, and in the end, the powerful Fiorentina was even better, defeating the Aquarium Legion five-to-three and scoring all three points away!

Originally Mourinho planned to counterattack Sampdoria's defensive attack, but in a conversation, Simeone's reminder changed the Magic Birds: "Jose, your plan sounds good. However, even the old guy Juventus and Trapp were unable to resist Sampdoria's offensive. Are you sure you must have this ability to kill all the tricks of Zeman's offensive madman?"

"Uh, Diego, you're right." Simeone's words scared Mourinho into a cold sweat, and he hurriedly reflected on the various loopholes and shortcomings in his tactical arrangements. He found that the facts were indeed as the opponent said. Now this Fiorentina is not likely to win the opponent. "Although he has never won a decent championship honor, the team coached by Zeman is famous for being crazy. If they are really allowed to open the offensive end, the game may be out of our control and thus let us repeat the mistakes of Juventus."

In this way, under Simeone's persuasion, Mourinho decisively adjusted his tactics and decided to let the team compete with Sampdoria for offensive ability, so that the game could be played in a strong confrontation and fast pace environment, while disrupting the opponent's offensive rhythm as much as possible, so that Sampdoria's players could play at a rhythm they were not used to.

You know, although Peron is an extremely outstanding midfield commander, he is used to slow-paced games and is not good at playing fast, and he hates physical confrontation with his opponents. These are places where Fiorentine players and Mourinho can use them.

The reason why Sampdoria failed to replicate the feat of defeating Juventus in this game was because Peron was restricted by Mourinho's arrangements, which greatly increased the number of mistakes in the game, giving Fiorentina many opportunities to counterattack quickly.

Although the team won the final victory and the fans were amazed at the team's wonderful goal performance in this game, Buffon, as the main goalkeeper of Fiorentina, was not very happy. After the game, the world's number one goalkeeper, frowned and walked into the player channel after hugging Mourinho.

It's no wonder that anyone who takes the ball from his own goal one after another will not be happy about it.

However, Buffon's little emotion soon disappeared with the arrival of a message after he returned to the locker room. Because in another Serie A game played at the same time, Juventus, who had not recovered from the loss, was hit again. After Cagliari, the Zebras once again suffered a defeat on the island team, and with great aggrievance, he only took one point away from the Barbera Stadium!

Although Nedved and Emerson, who returned from the ban in this round, tried their best to bring a victory to the team, this time, their teammates became a drag because of their two games in the week and their physical fitness has not yet fully recovered. Coupled with Palermo's home bonus, Juventus, who was in poor form, finally shook hands with his opponent one-to-one after the 90-minute game.
