Btw, I really liked this 4-2-3-1/4-4-2 Fiorentina played tonight. It looks really solid when your wingers run so much and can play both defense and attack.
Now, Marchionni is far from top class winger, but in a good system, he's really useful and even though he still has this stupid habit to fuck up an attack with a silly pass, he's doing really well for Fiorentina.
It was sad how Marchionni and Vargas were helping De Silvestri and Robben all the time, and yet they were always involved in the counters and when Fiorentina had possession. It was sad because I never saw that in Juve even when we played 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 this season.
Only with such good organization and running you stand a chance in Europe. Fiorentina lack the quality so they can't go far, even though they found a perfect system for the available players. But I wonder how good can Prandelli do with a richer team.
