After leading by 1-0, the Sampdoria player who was already unsatisfied in this game became more and more careless on the court. In addition to Montera, who was still fighting desperately on the court, even the always steady organizational core Peron made several mistakes, and was almost seized by Fiorentina to expand the score.
However, according to the current state of Sampdoria players, it is only a matter of time before they concede the ball again.
Sure enough, fifteen minutes after Vieri scored, Philip Inzagi also opened, and the one who gave him an assist was Rui Costa: the pass from the Portuguese midfielder broke through the entire Samp's defense line. Inzagi successfully counterattacked and scored after a tackle, rewrite the score to 2-0!
Although Fiorentina created several good scoring opportunities in the following time, unfortunately, Vieri and Inzagi failed to seize these opportunities to further expand their advantages.
In this way, the score of 2-0 remained until the end of the first half.
Although during the halftime break, Menoti made a long speech in the locker room, hoping to arouse the players' fighting spirit, so as to equalize the score or even complete the reversal in the second half, the Samp player, who is no longer interested in the game, obviously regarded the old coach's speech as a wind in his ears.
After the second half of the game began, seeing that his players were still half dead on the court, Menotti finally extinguished his intention to win at home and replaced Montera and Peron, the two absolute main players, and announced their surrender to Capello after only more than fifty minutes of the game.
Capello saw that his opponent had actively sent out a signal to give up the game, and also replaced Vieri and Inzagi, the two generals. The subtext was obvious: just keep the score until the end of the game, and there was no need to fight against Sampdoria, who had no fighting spirit, so as not to force the opponent into anger and deliberately attack. That would be a big deal.
After all, Fiorentina will still have the Champions League and the Copa Italy game to play. At such a critical moment, any player has extremely valuable combat power. Capello certainly doesn't want to see any accidents happen to his players at this critical moment.
So, in the following time, Fiorentine players, like Samps, had no intention of continuing to attack, because the outcome of the game had been determined, and the league champion was already in the pocket of Fiorentine, so of course they had no motivation to continue the game.
In a harmonious atmosphere, Florence, who was visiting Ferraris Stadium, easily defeated Sampdoria 2-0, and locked in the 1997-98 Serie A championship trophy three rounds ahead of schedule!
However, Fiorentina did not celebrate on the court. After all, this is Sampdoria's territory. If it is too unscrupulous, it will only cause unnecessary disgust from the other party. Moreover, the current situation does not allow Fiorentina to devote too much energy to celebrate the championship, because the first round of the Champions League semi-finals is about to begin...
So the players just celebrated a little on the court and then flew back to Fiorentina overnight to prepare for the upcoming Champions League match.
The news that Fiorentina won the Serie A championship ahead of schedule and completed the four consecutive league championships soon reached the ears of all fans or teams who are concerned about Fiorentina's recent situation.
Although other Serie A teams have long been mentally prepared for Fiorentina's championship, when they saw Purple Lily become the third team in Serie A history to complete four consecutive league championships, these clubs are inevitably a little uncomfortable - no matter who they are, they are always competitive, so many team owners who are ambitious to compete for the championship have become more competitive after seeing the glory of Florence, and they are more serious about how to pull Fiorentina off the throne of the league championship and then change to them to sit in this glory position themselves.
Under the urging of this mentality, a new round of arms war will soon begin in Italy.
Just as these bosses and general managers were thinking hard to enhance the team's strength, Fiorentina, which had been resting, was already flying to the Spanish capital Madrid on a special plane, where Capello and his players were going to have a fierce battle with Real Madrid.
After being released by Fiorentina in the last round of group stage and escaped from the ascension, Real Madrid performed quite well in the knockout stage. In the quarterfinals, the White Army beat the Portuguese giant Porto with a total score of 4-1 (3-0 at home and 1-1 away). In the quarterfinals, facing Dynamo Kiev led by Lobanovski, Real Madrid lost first and then won, and finally with the advantage of many away goals, Dynamo Kiev, who had Shevchenko and Rebrov, the "Ukrainian twins", returned in hatred, and finally returned to the semi-finals of the Champions League after many years!
Since the two teams had faced each other in the group stage of the Champions League this season, Fiorentina won and tied unbeaten in those two matches. Therefore, Fiorentina players obviously did not pay much attention to this defeat and stepped onto the Bernabeu Stadium with a relatively relaxed attitude.
However, Capello was not contagious by the players' optimism and still sent all the main players in this game: goalkeeper Toldo, four defenders are Robert Carlos, Stam, Nesta and Zambrota. In the midfield, Redondo dragged the back organization, and Davis and Dibiagio were responsible for the protection.
However, since midfielder Effenberg strained the calf muscles during training, Rui Costa became the core of the frontcourt organization of Fiorentina in this game.
On the forward line, the starting combination of God of War Barty and alien Ronaldo is enough to make any team's defense tremble.
In the first half, Batistuta and Davao Suk scored one goal each in the first half, and the performance of the two teams can be said to be evenly divided. Fiorentina, who scored a away goal, can even be said to have a slight advantage.
However, when Davis was sent off the field by the referee for a red card for a pedal foul shortly after the start of the second half, the balance of the game began to tilt towards Real Madrid!
Real Madrid, who is at home, took advantage of the advantage of one more player to launch a fierce attack. Amavisca, Zieg, Raul and Panucci and other good players took turns to intervene on the flanks, suppressing the opponent Carlos and Zambrota with the offense. Fiorentina's proud defensive system could not completely block all defensive loopholes because of one less player, which naturally gave Real Madrid players more room to play.
In the 78th minute, Raul, who received the pass from Sieg, attracted Dibiagio to the middle and passed the ball across the middle. The unguarded Seedorf directly took a long shot from 25 meters away from the goal, helping Real Madrid overtake the score!
Faced with the unfavorable situation of falling behind in the score, Capello began to order the players to take the initiative to attack. Because he knew that with one less person, it would be difficult for Fiorentina to rely on hard defense to resist Real Madrid's attack, so it would be better to let the players fight and see if they can get some miraculous effects.
However, this desperate approach is not successful every time. At least this time, Capello fell apart - Ronaldo and Barti missed at least three chances of winning against Real Madrid in the penalty area, and could only watch Raul scored a goal that locked the victory in the injury time of the game!
