Chapter 538: The league is over, farewell to the Champions League
Today's Giraldi has a gloomy face all day long.
Champions League qualification is very important to him, and successful promotion can greatly increase Parma's influence, and if he has a choice, he would rather not win the Coppa Italia but qualify for the Champions League, even if it is a play-off qualification!
At this time, Giraldi was very depressed, this season the league was in vain, and he invested so much that he didn't qualify for the Champions League, which made him very angry and irritable.
That's right, Giraldi's mentality is very abnormal, at the beginning of the league, Giraldi didn't think like that, at that time he just needed Parma to survive relegation and go further in the Coppa Italia.
However, as the results of the Parma team are getting better and better, Giraldi's appetite is also getting bigger and bigger, and he has gradually forgotten his original intention, and his interests are getting heavier and heavier.
Now Parma has achieved such a result, which is already a great thing for any promoted team, something to boast about, but in Giraldi's heart he is very unhappy.
Losing this Champions League qualification made Giraldi very bad, very unhappy, very resentful.
But the league isn't over yet, and the battle continues.
In the 36th round of the league, Parma went to play away.
But before the game, the captain of the Parma team, the number one star in the team, and Wang Jiangchen, the scorer of Serie A this season, actually broke his foot during pre-game training, and it was so swollen that he directly missed this game.
Faced with such a situation, Giraldi was furious, and said in his heart When did you Jiang Chen break his foot, you have to have an accident at this time, what are you doing, my high salary is in vain!
However, the facts cannot be changed, Jiang Chen cannot appear, and can only sit on the wall and watch.
Like Jiang Chen, there are several main players such as Mstiga, Lucarelli and Rameson who did not go to the away game, some of them have colds, and more of them have severe muscle fatigue, and Parma has to play in the remnants of the team this time.
In this round of matches, Parma almost held their opponents to a draw away from home, but in the final moments of the game, Parma were attacked by their opponents, losing the game 0-1, and also lost their hopes of participating in next season's Champions League.
At the end of the 36th round of the league, the top of the league is still Juventus, who have 80 points and lead the league leader.
In second place in the league are AC Milan, who are on 77 points, just three points behind Juventus, and with two games remaining, they may not be without a chance to fight back.
In third place is Napoli with 70 points, while Fiorentina are fourth in the league with 65 points. In fifth place is Sampdoria, who came from behind to overtake Inter Milan with 64 points.
Sixth in the league is Inter Milan with 63 points, while Roma are seventh with 62 points, overtaking Parma.
Parma are eighth in the league with 58 points, just one more than ninth-placed Torino.
Parma are now seven points clear of fourth-placed Fiorentina in the league, with only two games left in the league, which means that Parma have completely lost their qualification for next season's Champions League.
After learning the news, Giraldi was really furious.
However, there is no way to do it, it has become like this, and Giraldi can only accept it.
At this time, Donadoni was finally able to rotate a large area, sending all substitutes in the last two rounds, and Parma finally ushered in a long-awaited victory, first winning 2-1, and in the last round, Parma lost 1-2.
In the final round of the league, there was almost a comeback, no one thought that in the most critical final round of the game, Fiorentina actually capsized and lost the game, Inter Milan had a chance to overtake Fiorentina and get fourth in the league, as long as they won.
However, the Inter Milan did not take advantage of their chances and drew with their opponents, missing a great opportunity to overtake Fiorentina.
In the end, the 2018-2019 Serie A season came to a perfect end, and it was the Bianconeri Juventus who won this season's Serie A with a well-deserved 86 points.
In second place in Serie A is AC Milan, who have 83 points, only three points behind Juventus, and it is a pity that they did not win the title.
Third in the league is Napoli with 73 points, 10 points behind AC Milan, who are second in the league.
These three teams directly qualified for the main stage of the UEFA Champions League and advanced to the group stage of the round of 32.
Fiorentina are fourth in the league with 68 points and have qualified for next season's Champions League, where they will qualify for the last 32 of the Champions League.
Fifth in the league is Inter Milan, with 67 points, just one point behind Fiorentina and a win in the final round of fixtures that would have overtaken Fiorentina, but they did not take their chances and will only be able to qualify for next season's Europa League.
Sampdoria are sixth on 64 points, Roma are seventh on 63 points, Parma are 8th on 61 points, and Torino on 60 points are ninth on 60 points.
In this way, all the Italian teams participating in the European competition next season have been produced, Juventus, AC Milan and Napoli will participate in the main match of next season's Champions League, and Fiorentina will participate in the qualifying round of next season's UEFA Champions League.
The teams participating in next season's Europa League are Parma, Inter Milan, Sampdoria and Roma.
These are the luckier teams, and then we will talk about the more miserable teams, Venice and Verona have 30 points, ranking third and second from the bottom of Serie A, while Crotone has 19 points, ranking last in Serie A, and the three teams are directly relegated to fight in Serie B next season.
And the top scorer in Serie A this season is Jiang Chen, who has scored a total of 32 goals this season, and the title of top scorer is well deserved.
Jiang Chen was in the first half of the season, his goal efficiency was super high, but at the end of the league, the efficiency decreased a little, mainly due to fatigue, and in the next three rounds, Jiang Chen did not play, if he played, his goals may be improved.
