Eriksen, who was so bitter, left Rome and continued to worry. Capello, who ended the press conference, led the team to return to Fiorentina overnight on the team bus, because four days later, they would go to San Nicola Stadium to play a 11th round of Serie A with Bari.
On the way back to Fiorentina, Capello did not give the players a time to close their eyes and rest as before, but turned on the Capello hair dryer that he had not used for a long time and scolded the team's performance in the last few minutes of the game: "Look at your performance in the last stage of the game! It would be fine if you can't open the situation in the offense, after all, it was indeed a very unlucky thing to hit the goal post and that old guy Machegiana. I can think this was a nap for the goddess of luck. But! Yes! Nesta! Matrazi! How did you two do it? It actually made that kid Cruise score one after another! "
"Uh, boss, that's because Julio is really..."
Nesta was about to explain, but Capello was interrupted roughly: "I haven't asked you to make excuses for losing the ball now, but just to talk about the matter! How dangerous is Cruise on the bench? I believe you who have been teammates with him cannot be unclear, but why did you not take any measures to deal with it when Cruise appeared on the court, even after scoring a goal?"
"This... we really have the lead in the score, and there is not much time left, so we relaxed our vigilance, which made Cruise take advantage of the loophole and scored two goals in the last five minutes." Faced with Capello's questioning, Nesta had to give up his plan to defend himself and took the initiative to admit to the head coach the mistake he made in the game.
"It's good that you know." Seeing Nesta admit his mistake, Capello nodded with satisfaction, ended his pursuit of Nesta's classmate, and at the same time turned his eyes to Matrazi, who had been silent.
Noting that the head coach had already set his sights on him, Matrazi shivered and quickly admitted his mistake by imitating Nesta's appearance, which made Capello not pursue him.
In fact, Capello did not intend to chase Nesta and Matrazi to the end. His original intention was to take this opportunity to hit these players well so that they could deal with the next game with a normal mentality, so that they would not be equalized by their opponents at the last moment when the season was in a critical stage, and even complete the reversal!
So, Nesta and Matrazi were just unlucky to become chess pieces used by Capello to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys - who made them completely beat Cruise in the last few minutes of this game?
In order to make the players more impressed by this draw, after returning to Fiorentina, Capello did not give the team a day off after the away game as before, but instead brought the players to the training ground early the next morning to show their punishment.
In this way, four days after being tied by Lazio away, the Fiorentine players who were trained by Capello for four days finally ushered in a make-up match with Bari.
Since the team encountered a one-week double-game schedule after the winter break, in order to ensure the team's combat effectiveness and to avoid players being injured in the game due to excessive fatigue, Capello made a large rotation of the starting lineup in this game, giving substitute players such as Desanctis, Madawikia, and Fortunato the opportunity to start.
Although Fiorentina has the advantage in overall strength, the bad luck encountered by Purple Lily in the last game showed no sign of subsidence today.
In the game against Bari, the Fiorentine players who had the second consecutive away game, although they took the advantage of a goal from Vieri shortly after the game started, as weird as those of Lazio, not only did they fail to take the opportunity to further expand their advantage, but once again lost the chain at the last minute!
Now let's see how Fiorentina lost three-pointers at the last moment: Madawikia, who was in the backcourt at the time, had no choice but to pass the ball back to goalkeeper Desanctis in the rear, but he didn't want the pass to be a little stronger in a hurry, and the trajectory of the ball was also a little weird - the ball did not move in a straight line, but rolled an arc on the turf!
Desanctis, who was still inexperienced, was suddenly disorganized by this accident. He was caught off guard and rushed to turn around and save the ball. However, at this moment, South African international Phil Masinga suddenly rushed out from behind Desanctis, and before Desanctis, he flew and kicked the ball into the goal of Fiorentina!
In this way, due to Madawikia's mistaken pass and DeSanctis' uneasiness, Fiorentina was equalized by Barri at the last moment. While embarrassingly, it also fulfilled the reputation of Barrie's "giant killer" and made this title more worthy of its reputation!
After two consecutive draws in the league, although Fiorentina still dominated the league standings, it has been narrowed by Inter Milan and other teams behind them. So far, the gap between the Nerazzurri, which ranks second in the standings, is only three points, which is a game of the gap. Later, Vicenza, AC Milan and Lazio are still quite far away from Fiorentina in the standings, but they are no longer out of reach.
So, if you are not careful, Florence is likely to lose the throne of the leader overnight and turn from a leader to a chaser.
After the game, the Fiorentine players who were worried in Grand Barrie did not wait for Capello's hair dryer, but received gentle comfort from the gold medal coach, saying that they had worked hard enough in the game and the draw was just because the team's luck today was too bad and had little to do with their attitude.
"Like Mada Wikia's pass mistake, he will not be able to pass such a wonderful ball if he try a hundred times. So, I don't blame you for this draw, it's just an accident. We'll get back the field next time we fight." Capello said with a smile on the bus, not furious because of the team's two consecutive draws in the league.
Although Capello is known for his iron fist, this does not mean that he will not win over the hearts of the people. Otherwise, he would not be able to lead teams such as Juventus and AC Milan to win so many championships.
