Two of the best teams in Italy – Fiorentina and Inter were involved in an incredibly entertaining match of the 33rd round in the Serie A. The Purple Ones managed to win the three points after a 5-4 victory at Stadio Artemio Franchi. The game was full of turnarounds and drama, but eventually the winner was Fiorentina.

The hosts were more active in the opening minutes of the game, but they managed to find the net for the first time in the 23rd minute. Vecino was the goal-scorer. Ivan Perisic equalized just 5 minutes later, after a great attack by Inter.

The Black and Blues turned things around in the 34th minute, when Joao Mario made an assist to Icardi, who found the net to give Inter the lead.

Shortly after the break, the referee awarded Fiorentina with a penalty after a foul in the box against Babacar. Samir Handanovic saved the penalty, which was taken by Bernardeschi and kept Inter’s advantage. However, the goalkeeper could do nothing about the Astori’s header in the 62nd minute. 2-2!

2 minutes later, Vecino made a one-two with Borja Valero and scored his second of the match, to turn things around for the second time in the game. Matias Vecino was unstoppable. The Uruguayan midfielder provided an assist to Babacar, who bagged the fourth goal for Fiorentina against Inter in the 70th minute.

The Senegalese forward scored his second of the game 9 minutes later and it seemed that The Violet Ones will easily take the three points, but Icardi didn’t think so. The striker showed a masterclass, turning with the ball in his feet and making a precise shot, which deflected in the post and went into the net. Then, Mauro Icardi scored his hat-trick, in the 1st minute of the added time, after great shot with his header from a corner kick.

However, the visitors couldn’t equalize in the 3 remaining minutes of the stoppage time, but they must receive congratulations, because they kept fighting until the very last minute of the game.

Jamie Vardy, who is one of the key Leicester City’s players, has been very close to retire from the professional football after his first season at Leicester City. The forward wasn’t happy with his 4 goals in 26 matches in The Championship, observing how his career has no perspective. So, Jamie had almost decided to work as a party organizer in Ibiza.

However, the manager Nigel Pearson has persuaded the player to continue with his career as a football player. About 5 years later, Vardy became the champion of The English Premier League, scoring 24 goals. He has also recorded 6 goals in 16 appearances for the national team. Vardy also took part in the Euro 2016.

“I remember that situation very well. Jamie had a bad period at the club. Nigel, Steve and I talked to him and told him that he has great skills and he is capable of doing great things. We even told him that he will become an England international player. Fortunately, he decided not to go to Ibiza and continued his football career. Sometimes the players doubt in their own skills. Our work is to support them,” Craig Shakespeare, the current manager of Leicester City, said in an interview.

Jamie Vardy had a difficult start of the current campaign, but he started to perform better from the second part of the season. He has now scored 9 goals in The Premier League. Moreover, the striker recently scored his first Champions League goal against Sevilla, helping his team knock the Europa League winners out of the most commercial European club competition. Now, he again looks like the player, who broke van Nistelrooy’s record, finding the net in 11 consecutive matches.

In conclusion, we must say that Vardy’s decision not to retire from the professional football in 2012 has been crucial for the future of the English international forward.
