Ahhh, hopefully we can have a slight respite from the recent Franco-Italian war that has
errupted in our comments section of the post-Lyon-Fiorentina CL match, and during the lull in
hostilities, get back to enjoying some L1 action!
Saturday, Lyon travel to Le Stade Jules Deschaseaux in the the northwestern region of
Haute-Normandie to take on one of this year's promoted clubs, Le Havre AC.
Less fancy playing, better defending, more cynical finishing. This will be Fiorentina's lesson
tonight after their elimination from the 2008-09 UEFA Champions League. And it sounds like an
awfully familiar one. The kind that spectacular but inexperienced teams are forced to learn, as
indeed La Viola's return to Europe's top competition demonstrated.
