After being eliminated from the Italian Cup by the weak Vicenza and not winning for two consecutive games, Fiorentina ushered in the 19th round of the Serie A this weekend. Purple Lily, who returned to home, will face the visiting Atlanta here.

If Vicenza is the biggest victim of Florence this season, then Atlanta, which is also known as a young guard, is Florence's ATM.

First, he was beaten by Fiorentina in the Italian Super Cup, and then in the second round of Serie A, he was fed four goals by Purple Lily at the Bergamo Stadium. He lost a total of eight goals in two games and did not score a single goal. The title of "ATM" is well deserved.

Although the Atlanta head coach has often thought about the tactics used by Vicenza to defeat Fiorentina and imitated Guidolin's tactical arrangements in the game, unfortunately, none of them got angry when they saw Fiorentina, nor did they have such a powerful midfield heavy artillery. They failed to become a dog-like figure, but were used as a tool for venting by the Fiorentine players who were full of anger.

Just three minutes into the game, Fiorentina took the lead in breaking the visiting team's goal. Carlos took a long shot from 30 meters away from the goal, causing the opponent's goalkeeper to save the ball. Inzagie appeared at the landing point of the ball and shot the ball into the net. Fiorentina led Atlanta 1-0;

In the 12th minute, Angeloma made a cross from the right, Batistuta headed the ball back, and Effenberg, who was just ahead of the arc in the penalty area, swung his right foot and made a powerful shot. The ball flew directly into Atlanta's goal, 2-0!

In the 35th minute, it was Angeloma again. The former French international made a right-footed cross under Rustico's defense. Bati's header was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper, but the ball did not fly out of the penalty area, but fell to Inzagi's feet with great dying death. Pipo certainly would not waste this excellent scoring opportunity, and scored with a push shot, three to zero!

In the injury time in the first half, Batistuta scored a free kick. His strong attack left the Atlanta goalkeeper with no way to deal with it, so he could only sigh at the ball, four to zero!

Barty's goal allowed Fiorentina to enter the halftime with a huge advantage of four goals, and at the same time brought endless despair to Atlanta players. No one believed that the visiting team could complete the comeback, even if there were still a full forty-five minutes left in the game.

After the start of the second half, Atra was still suppressed by Fiorentina in all aspects. The midfield combination of Mofeo, Doni and Rentini was completely at a disadvantage when facing Redondo, Davis and Thomassi, and could hardly organize several threatening attacks.

On the other hand, Fiorentina continues to play, using sharp offense and oppressive defense to make Atlanta players breathless, and make continuous mistakes on the court, so that home team players can get more scoring opportunities.

So, in the second half, Inzagi and Cruise, who came on as a substitute, scored a goal each, and set the score to 6-0.

Six to zero, the home team is in front and the away team is in back. This is the final score displayed on the big screen of Frankie Stadium when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game.

Almost all the players in Atlanta walked out of the sad place of Frankie Stadium crying, especially the players Mofeo and Doni who had dealt with Fiorentina last season were the most sad. After all, they had played four games against Fiorentina last season, and with the three games they lost this season, Atlanta, who had returned to Serie A last season, actually had a tragic record of losing all seven games!

Capello did not express his approval for the team's big victory. In his opinion, it is no difficulty for Fiorentina to win Atlanta, which had previously lost to him for six consecutive times. If it performs normally, it is just a matter of how many goals the team can win.

However, Capello was somewhat impressed by Cruise, who had both substitutes, because a substitute player who could score goals on the court was something any head coach would dream of.

Capello also did several experiments during the team's training match and found that the technical characteristics of Cruise are indeed unusual. His goal efficiency and threatening attack on the bench are much better than when he started, although Capello has not yet figured out the specific reason for this phenomenon...

It is precisely because of this that Capello admired Zhuang Mingge's extremely vicious eyes and was overwhelmed.

How did the boss see that Cruise, a previously unknown boy, has the potential to become a super substitute? This is the question Capello has been thinking about the most recently.

After a national team game cycle, on February 16, Fiorentine players started another big kill against their 20th round opponent Verona in the league.

Considering that many brothers in the team have finished playing the national team, in this league, Capello sent a mixed lineup with main players and substitutes. Except for goalkeeper Toldo, Redondo and Effenberg in the midfield and Inzagi in the front line, the other players are almost all main players rotate or substitutes: the two full-backs are Fortunato and Angeloma (Zambrotta was also transferred to the national team by old Maldini this time to observe it at close range), and the central defenders are Stam and veteran Viljoward; in the midfield, Tomasi and Zanetti and two main partners; as for the forward line, Vieri got a starting opportunity, while Cruise was placed on the bench by Capello.

Although such a starting lineup has a certain gap between its main lineup in terms of strength, it is still no problem to deal with Verona, a weak team in relegation.

After the ninety minutes of the game, the score on the field was frozen on four-to-one. Vieri, who had participated in a national team game before, scored a goal in this game, and his good friend Inzagi scored twice, and Cruise also scored a goal in his third substitute appearance.

After massacring the newly promoted team Verona from the road, Fiorentina welcomed the Zebra Legion who came to Frankie Stadium to challenge the next weekend, and it was also the last game before the Champions League knockout stage began.

This season, Juventus has devoted a lot of energy to the Champions League, which has been away for a long time, and has made the bench depth not as deep as Fiorentina's thick Zebras performance in the Serie A this season. It has not only won a glorious deed of winning a giant of Inter Milan, but also has also been a record of losing to Lazio with unstable morale, which is quite incompatible with its previous image as an "old woman".
