Chronicle of an announced spin.
– Started from psychodrama as in the best (or worst) Florentine traditions. Fiorentina-Empoli is played mainly on an emotional thread, broken by Ciccio Caputo’s first goal of the season. Because until the strike of the 36-year-old center forward from Empoli, the match was open and easy for both teams, with the Viola capable of fluidly arriving at Berisha’s side and Empoli good at bringing strong pressing on their opponents, as well as quickly firing vertically ;
– There is the usual risk factor to manage in Fiorentina’s playing system: bringing so many players forward implies paying great attention to the markings preventive, especially in a match where Empoli accepts the high pace of the Viola. And instead the distractions of the four-man line Kayode-Martinez Quarta-Milenkovic-Parisi are repeated from the first minutes, and will be fatal in the final count. Once the advantage is established, Andreazzoli’s team takes the inertia of the match, while Italiano’s slips into his classic mental breakdowns;

– Everything that had gone wrong for the Azzurri up to this point of the season succeeded in this match. The advantage obtained with yet another offensive gust shifts the balance of the match and from there Empoli comes together, performing a maniacal defensive performance due to its punctual effectiveness. Always under pressure on the ball carrier, always ready to double the lead, with a game of enormous sacrifice in the two phases by the offensive trio Cambiaghi-Cancellieri-Caputo. If the result sends many Viola fans back to the disastrous Fiorentina-Pescara 0-2 (it marks it Gasin photocopy action on the first goal), the defense in the trenches of the boys Andreazzoli rather, it is reminiscent of the 0-0 draw a year ago against Fiorentina: even then, a nine-man Empoli team saved the result with order, pace and head;
– In terms of individual performances, it is difficult to find a single name for the Azzurri in the face of what was an excellent team performance. We could reiterate the mention a Caputo (who repeatedly sent Milenkovic into the ball, the Viola’s worst ever player), one could say about the great performance of Cancellieri and Cambiaghi, but also about the defensive performance of Luperto. In order not to take away anyone’s credit, we must congratulate Andreazzoli for his excellent preparation and management of the match both on a tactical and psychological level;
– Speech of a completely different tone in Fiorentina, where only Bonaventure he really manages not to get lost in the intricacies of this race, trying on several occasions to play the charge and give the right ideas in finishing. Fiorentina already falls on the approach, perhaps with the complicity of excessive self-confidence. The Italian evidently failed to keep the team at the right level of tension, which was exalted in the victory in Naples and went into the national break sitting on its laurels. Too many superficial errors at the back (with the generic mitigating factor of the youth of the full-backs, Parisi and Kayode), too much anxiety up front: the Viola did not dictate the pace of a match that they should have attacked, given the gap in technical means. The head, as always, made the difference.
