Chapter 153: Warm-up before the game

The Parma interviews were naturally learned by the players and coaches of the Palermo team, who were very disdainful of the Parma people's statements, and they believed that the Parma people were just grandstanding, and whoever was in charge of the turf must have won the victory of their Palermo team.

Palermo coach Lopez said in an interview with the media: "Parma's recent results are reasonable, but our Palermo team is more consistent, I don't think they are better than us, but I think my team is better. ”

Lopez added: "You can see that Parma has a lot of ups and downs, it's not stable at all, but we are very stable in Palermo, what is the most important thing in the league? It's a stable state! I think this season, our Palermo team will be promoted to Serie A as champions! ”

The following media reporter asked Lopez: "May I ask Mr. Lopez, what do you think of the Chinese striker Chen in Parma's team?" He has been in great form of late, scoring 15 goals in the league and just behind Trajkovski in the scorers' charts! ”

Lopez frowned slightly when he heard this question, lowered his head and thought for a while before saying: "To be honest, Jiang Chen's performance surprised me, I really didn't expect that he would have such amazing efficiency, in my eyes, he is a very powerful player, he has the ability to play in Serie A, he is a terrible and calm killer." ”

The reporter below immediately asked: "But Grosso, the head coach of the Bari team, said that Jiang Chen has taken advantage of the loophole, and as long as everyone pays attention to him, he will not perform at all." ”

Lopez laughed and said: "Every coach thinks differently, and I can't care what Grosso says about him." I only know that in my eyes, Jiang Chen is a very powerful player, he is very dangerous, we will focus on him in this game, and we will not give him any chance to shoot. ”

The media reporters asked again: "Since Mr. Lopez values Jiang Chen so much, do you have the confidence to keep Jiang Chen clean in this game?" ”

Lopez frowned slightly, and said with some embarrassment: "Although I very much want to say that my team can easily watch him, but the reality is unlikely, his quality is obvious to all, I can only say that we will try our best to entertain him and not let him get too many chances, not only in terms of shots, but also in terms of assists." ”

The media reporter then asked: "Since you are so jealous of Jiang Chen, sir, do you think your team can win the final victory?" ”

Lopez laughed and said: "The Parma team has Jiang Chen, and we are also with Trajkovsky!" In terms of striking power, we are not inferior to Parma and we are more defensive, so I think the victory must be ours and I firmly believe that we can't run away from three points. ”

Lopez's evaluation of Jiang Chen is very high, which is beyond everyone's expectations, this is the first coach in the Serie B team other than Donadoni to publicly praise Jiang Chen and give Jiang Chen a lot of face, which surprised everyone.

It can be seen from Lopez's answer that Lopez's fear of Jiang Chen is obvious, and it has changed many people's bad views of Jiang Chen at once.

Media reporters also interviewed the players of the Palermo team, and their first choice was the current No. 1 scorer in Serie B, Macedonian high school striker, Trajkovski.

In an interview with media reporters, Trajkovsky said: "Chen! He's a very good player, and if you look down on him, you won't end well, and Grosso is a vivid example of this, so we in Palermo don't make the same mistakes. ”

The media reporters asked again: "Excuse me, now that Jiang Chen is only two goals behind you in the scorer list, do you feel the pressure?" Do you think Jiang Chen can surpass you in the shooter list? ”

Trajkovsky laughed: "That's the case, he put a lot of pressure on me, and they chased after me fiercely. Moreover, I was blown away by his efficient goalscoring efficiency. But for me, it's not important to be the top scorer, I just want my team to win, win the Serie B title and qualify for Serie A next season, that's the point. ”

The reporters asked: "Trajkovsky, what do you think of Parma?" Do you know them? ”

Trajkovski immediately said: "Parma are a very strong team, they are very good at both ends of the pitch and will be the biggest threat to our team this season to win the Serie B title!" Of course, I also think that they are only one of the opponents, because the title must belong to us in Palermo. ”

Before the game, when people on both sides were interviewed by media reporters, they were very confident and believed that the victory of this game would belong to them, which added a lot of excitement to the game.

This game is not only the battle for the top spot in Serie B this season, but also the battle for the top scorer list, which will naturally attract a lot of attention.

On the day of the match, a large number of Parma fans flocked to the Barbera Stadium, and for Parma's die-hard devotees, they were willing to go to the away stadium to support their team.

Of course, Palermo fans are frantically flocking to their home stadium to support their team, hoping to see their favourite team on their home turf and leave their direct rivals behind.

30 November 2017, Palermo, Barbera Stadium.

The Barbera Stadium is a small and medium-sized stadium with a maximum capacity of 36,000 fans, and when they competed in Serie A, it became the third smallest stadium in Serie A.

The old Barbera Stadium used to be very large and could accommodate 50,000 fans, but later the title deeds were auctioned off by the club for financial reasons, and now the new stadium is used.

Although it can only accommodate 36,000 fans, the atmosphere inside the stadium is very lively, with fans wearing pink Palermo jerseys, cheering excitedly, waving the team's flag and scarf, and singing the team's anthem passionately.

The atmosphere at the Barbera Stadium is really hot.

Parma fans, dressed in the team's most iconic blue and yellow shirts, came here to cheer on the team, waving their team scarves and cheering excitedly.

"Hello fans! This is Sky Sports, I'm Baroni, and next to me is my old partner Montoli! Sky Sports commentator Baroni said.

"Hello everyone! I'm Montoli! Montoli also greeted the fans in attendance.
