Fiorentina falls at the best moment Monday is designed to go out and respond to Juventus and settle just two points behind leaders Inter. And instead of Tender Empoli, straightened by Andreazzoli, wins the derby and brings the Italian team back to earth, excelling on the tactical, physical and dynamic levels. The different technical qualities and the difficulties faced by rivals who have so far won only one match and scored a goal with Baldance and the enthusiasm for this achievement in Naples sent the Viola to the limit who were slow, inaccurate and allowed deadly counterattacks to enter. Hungry cousins way. Empoli scores with Caputo’s goal Midway through the first half, the same striker found the back of the net again in stoppage time, but it was ruled out by VAR for a touch with his arm. Not bad, as the deserved 2-0 came 9 minutes from time with Gyasi coming off the bench for another start and the Viola’s usual defensive blunder.
Fiorentina is bad. The shadow of the team that beat Maradona. Distracted, slow, without energy. It was eliminated before it flourished. Mental question. The defense is always challenged, Arthur’s playmaking is exhausting, only Gonzalez tries but his teammates don’t support him, this time even Bonaventura. The calendar now becomes difficult with Lazio away from home, Juventus and Bologna at home, and the Conference in the middle. Empoli are idealistic, organised, aggressive and reactive: they recovered from their ailments and emerged from the red zone.
