Chapter 219: The Last Round

As of the 41st round of the league, in addition to the top two teams, other games have also been staged.

Calpi lost 4-1 at home to Hitadella and caused a big upset.

Frosinone beat Nova 1-0 at home, while Brescia finally swept away the gloom and finally secured a win at home to underdogs Foggia after a winless streak.

Third in the league is Frosinone with 77 points, third in the league.

Brescia are fourth in the league with 75 points, two points behind Frosinone.

Calpi is fifth in the league with 72 points and Venezia is sixth with 71 points, all six of which have promotion hopes.

That is to say, the Serie B league has produced two direct promotion places in Serie A one round in advance, and four other teams that have participated in the promotion play-off qualification have also been born, but the final position has not yet been arranged, which is related to the home-and-away advantage of the play-offs.

The relegation zone has produced two relegated teams, Cesena and Entra, who are already certain to be relegated.

The only suspense in the relegation zone now is that Salernitana and Foggia are two choices, Salernitana are now three points ahead of Foggia, and Salernitana is behind Foggia on goal difference and win-loss relationship.

That is to say, as long as in the last round of the game, Foggia wins, and Salernitana loses, then the Foggia team will complete the relegation counterattack, and beat Salernitana to relegate successfully with the advantage of winning and losing.

Of course, the biggest suspense in Serie B here is the final ownership of this season's Serie B champions.

The difference between Parma and Palermo, the top two, is only one point, and with one game remaining, anything can happen.

In the final round, Parma will travel to Brescia, who are currently fourth, while Palermo will take on mid-table Vercelli at their home stadium.

Judging from the matchup, it is clear that Palermo have a very big advantage in this final round of games, and it does not seem difficult for Palermo to win against Vercelli, and this is still their home stadium, they have the confidence and ability to win the game.

Parma, on the other hand, were a dangerous opponent against the play-off-level Brescia, who should not be underestimated.

And at this time, Brescia still have a chance to push for third place in the league, and they are only two points behind Frosinone.

The difference between the third and fourth positions in the league lies in the home-and-away advantage in the play-offs, because the third place in the league will be relatively easy against the sixth in the league in the promotion play-offs, while the fourth place will play against the fifth place is very variable.

Moreover, in the first leg of the meeting between Parma and Brescia, Parma failed to defeat Brescia at their home stadium, but lost to the opponent by two goals.

Historically, Brescia won a bit more against Parma, and won the first leg this season, and from a mental level, Brescia are obviously very confident of beating Parma.

However, in the first round, Jiang Chen did not appear in the game due to injury.

Before the second leg, Brescia coach Marino said in an interview with media reporters: "Our Brescia quality is very good, and we may not lose if we meet them." Of course, Parma's attacking power is inexplicable at Serie B level, so if we want to win the game, we have to score more goals than them. ”

Marino added: "I believe my team can do it, the third place in the league must belong to us!" I believe my players can perform well and come out in the form of the first leg against Parma, no problem! ”

And at this time, Palermo coach Lopez also began to stand on Brescia's side, and he called on Brescia and Parma to fight to the death, because after the last game was drawn, Palermo's situation has reached the point where you need to see other people's faces.

Lopez was under a lot of pressure because he didn't win the last round, and many media reporters and fans put the blame on him.

Originally, this season, they should have won the league title easily, but it was because of the lax governance in the last moments that gave Parma a chance to overtake, and they were very dissatisfied with it.

Lopez himself was very angry, seeing that the league was about to end, but they lost the top of the league, this mistake was so unforgivable, Lopez was in the locker room that day, and scolded the players to the point that they doubted their lives.

The team's central defender Moganella and striker Tej have become the focus of Lopez's care, one is the backbone of the defense who scored an own goal in this game, and the other is the sharp knife of the striker who can't find his form at all in this game.

It was precisely because of the impetile play of these two guys that the team was drawn by the underdog Salernitana, which allowed Parma, who took advantage of the fisherman, to surpass them and sit at the top of the table.

Lopez said before the game: "Brescia are a team with quality and a fight for the Serie B title, in my opinion, they are better than Parma, it should be okay to win this game, especially since this is their home stadium, I believe they will win, Brescia!" ”

The extremely cunning Lopez did not talk about his own game before the game, but put all his attention on the match between Parma and Brescia, which made the media reporters feel very nonsense, and it seems that Lopez is also poor in donkey skills.

Brescia's head coach Marino said in an interview with media reporters before the game: "I was surprised by Mr. Lopez's attention, in fact, we don't need him to remind you, we will go all out in this game, we attach great importance to the third place in the league, we must take all three points in this game!" ”

The media asked Marino what he thought of Parma's main striker, Jiang Chen.

Marino immediately said, "Chen! He's a great player! The fact that he was able to join AC Milan before speaks for itself. ”

Marino added: "Tatsu is now the top scorer in Serie B, and there is really no need to talk about his quality. We beat Parma in the first leg of the match, but at that time he was out of the 18-man squad. It's going to be different, he's going to start, he's going to be our biggest threat, so I've said before, it's almost impossible to contain Parma's attack, we have to score more goals than our opponents to win! ”
