Fiorentina may have just sold their most prized asset, but recent performances suggest they will do just fine without him, says Alasdair Mackenzie. 夸夸很重要，但没有他我们也能做得很好。 Vincenzo Montella has not enjoyed the easiest of times as Fiorentina Coach. Since taking over in the summer of 2012, he has impressed with the imposition of an eye-catching, technical style of football in which the likes of Borja Valero and Juan Cuadrado have flourished. 小飞机的好时光尚未到来。自2012年接掌兵符後，小飞机带队打造出夺目且技术性的球 风，Valero跟Cuadrado在他的体系下大放异彩。 He has taken them to two fourth place finishes and a Coppa Italia Final, but the source of most frustration for Viola fans has been the injury problems experienced by Mario Gomez and Giuseppe Rossi, depriving Montella of a partnership that could provide the impetus for that next step – Champions League qualification or Coppa Italia victory. 紫百合连续两年在小飞机的带领下夺得联赛第四并进入去年的义大利盃决赛。不过， Rossi跟Gomez的伤情令人觉得相当可惜，若他们成功合体，或许欧冠资格和义大利盃 的胜利就是属於我们的。 For the opening few months of this season, it looked like the wheels may have come off. Montella’s team were being held to too many draws and were defeated in several of their most important matches against European rivals Roma, Lazio, Sampdoria and Napoli. 本季前半段，我们赢太少了，又输给太多争取欧冠资格的对手。 However, since a 1-0 loss to the Partenopei at the start of November, Fiorentina have gone on a hugely impressive run of domestic form, losing only once in their next 11 matches. Incredibly, that defeat came at the hands of the hapless Parma. 但自十一月一开始输给拿坡里後，十一场内只输掉了一场，对手是本季没救的帕马。 A 3-2 win against Atalanta on Sunday capped off a great week in Florence, as they had beaten Roma 2-0 on Tuesday to reach the semi-final of the Coppa Italia again. It has been a season-defining week, as the Viola have reached fourth place in the table for the first time this season, a great achievement after spending the first half of the season floundering in mid-table. 上一场联赛对亚特兰大3-2和义大利盃击退罗马挺进四强令人欢欣鼓舞。就在这周，紫百 合本季首次爬上第四名，比起一开季都在中游区徘徊可说是大幅进步。 There have been two particularly noticeable positives to take from this week. One was the return to form of Mario Gomez, who scored twice in the Coppa against Roma to remind fans of the German at his ruthless best. The other was the absence of Cuadrado. The Colombian winger has been such a decisive player for the Viola in recent seasons and so important to the way they play that it was feared the team could suffer from an on-pitch hangover in his absence. Instead, their impressive form has continued, helped along by a goal from new signing Alessandro Diamanti against Atalanta, and Montella will be in confident mood ahead of their Europa League trip to Tottenham next Thursday. 本周有两件值得高兴的事情发生：Gomez以梅开二度宣告归位以及在Cuadrado离开後 紫百合仍能维持良好近况。在对上亚特兰大的比赛中，Diamanti攻入加盟後首球，小飞机 看来满怀信心地面临下周客战热刺的欧霸十六强赛。 The true mettle and improvement of this FIorentina side will be gauged over the coming few weeks. They face two of Serie A’s most in-form sides next, Sassuolo and Torino, before a horrible run of fixtures in which they take on Inter, Juventus, Lazio and Milan consecutively. 近几周的赛程将测试紫百合是否真具备强队的本事。在连续对上豪门的赛程前，还要先 对上近况良好的Sassuolo跟Torino。 Montella will also privately be buoyed by Sinisa Mihajlovic’s struggles at Sampdoria. The Blucerchiati were held to a 1-1 home draw against a Sassuolo team devoid of its entire front three of Domenico Berardi, Simone Zaza and Nicola Sansone, after being hammered 5-1 by Torino last weekend. This allowed the Viola to leapfrog Samp into fourth place, but they are still seven points off Napoli in third after Rafa Benitez’s side continue their strong form with a 3-1 win over Udinese. Juventus beat Milan 3-1 in the weekend’s showcase clash. Luca Antonelli scored on his Milan debut but the result was marred by an ongoing war of words surrounding Carlos Tevez’s goal, which was shown as both onside and offside in different television replays. Roma got back to winning ways as Daniele Verde starred in a 2-1 win over Cagliari, and a Mauro Icardi double helped Inter to a 3-0 win over Palermo to end their run of defeats.
