Chapter 870: Fighting for the Third
The final relegation situation of Serie A this season is very complicated, how many five teams are competing, anyone is likely to escape from the sea of suffering at the last moment, and of course, it is also possible for anyone to sink directly into the abyss.
This is the beginning of the season no one thought that the last round of Serie A will create such a big drama, which still surprises many people, and it can be seen from here how competitive the Serie A league is this season.
At this time, Jiang Chen didn't have the heart to pay attention to these games in the relegation zone, and he now had to focus on the most round of games, Napoli's away game against Sassuolo.
Sassuolo is not a weak team, their strength this season is still very good, now they are ranked eighth in Serie A, a few years of Serie A precipitation, has been sitting on the name of the middle team.
And Sassuolo also has a record of defeating AC Milan and Juventus this season, so the Napoli team really doesn't dare to underestimate the Sassuolo team.
At this time, Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri still attaches great importance to this last round of the league, and he is now thinking about hitting the third place in the league, but he does not want to play in the qualifying round of the Champions League.
In the standings after the previous round, Inter Milan are one point ahead of Napoli, who will have to give it their all in the final round.
Of course, the initiative is no longer in the hands of the Napoli team.
It was Inter Milan who held the initiative and it was clear that they did not want to be overtaken by Napoli in the final round of the league and were determined to sit firmly in third place.
In this final round of Serie A, Inter Milan will face Genoa, who will challenge their opponents away from home.
Genoa's strength should be worse than Sassuolo's, so the game on Inter Milan's side should be easier, as long as Inter Milan wins the game, no matter what kind of results the Napoli team achieves at the last moment, even if it is 100 to 0, it will be in vain, they will be one point behind Inter Milan and fall into fourth place in the league.
But even so, Sarri has no intention of giving up, and during their pre-match training preparations, they have repeatedly emphasized in front of the media that they must win this game, go all out, and if they can't get good results, it is quite successful to drag the giants back.
But what's worse than this is that the minds of many Napoli players are no longer on this, at this time, their minds are in the upcoming holidays, and even the minds of some guys have flown to the sunny beach.
Of course, there are also some guys who have their minds to fly directly to other clubs, such as Zielinski in the Napoli team, and his mind has completely gone to Inter Milan at this time.
In his heart, it is obvious that he is more happy to see Inter Milan win the third place in the league, and in this way, he Zelinski is going to a high place.
In the recent training, Sarri has a very serious face, viciously accusing the Napoli players, scolding the Napoli players fiercely, and making the Napoli players cheer up, this last round of the game is very important, must win!
Yes, Maurizio Sarri has given the order to die, and this final round of the league must be won, otherwise the Napoli players will regret it.
It is understood that Maurizio Sarri has made a decision that if the team does not win in the final round of fixtures, their leave will be extended or even shortened, which is unacceptable to the Napoli players.
So the players have also gathered their minds to prepare for the last game of the league, which will also be the last game of the season for Napoli.
Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri said in an interview with media reporters before the game: "This season's Serie A is not over for our Napoli team, we have to win this last round of games, we have to win. ”
The reporters were well aware of the reasons why Napoli were desperate to win, but they were not convinced that Napoli could overtake Inter.
After all, Inter Milan coach Luciano Spalletti also spoke before the game, saying: "Our goal this season is to qualify for the Champions League, obviously we have done our job, but we prefer to go straight to the Champions League than to go to the qualifying round." ”
Spalletti's words are obvious enough, the third place in this league must be their Inter Milan team, they will not easily give up this position to the Napoli team, this last round of games, they will go all out.
Speaking to reporters, Maurizio Sarri said: "We have a good opponent but that doesn't stop us from winning, we're in a good situation and I firmly believe it will be our Napoli team who wins. ”
Sarri also cheered for Jiang Chen: "This game is also very important for Chen, now he is still one goal away from being able to set a new record, I think his strength is very strong, he should be able to finish, as for next season, let's witness the birth of a new dynasty together." ”
The media reporters were a little unconvinced, after the team won the League Cup, the players of the Napoli team completely relaxed, they have almost given up the next games, at this time, they have to tighten up, it is difficult.
Moreover, the opponent of the Napoli team in this round of the game is not weak, and it is the opponent's home field, and the Napoli team is really difficult to defeat the Sassuolo team.
At least before the game, media reporters didn't believe that Jiang Chen could set a new Serie A record.
Before the game, the media reporters interviewed Napoli striker Jiang Chen, and inevitably talked about the record-setting problem in the process.
Jiang Chen said: "Okay, I am aiming for a new record in this last round of games, I will definitely score in this game, I will not only score in this game, but also lead Napoli to victory." ”
Jiang Chen also said: "Sassuolo's strength is really good, this is indeed a little difficult for our Napoli team, you must know that they have knocked down many strong teams this season, but this is not a reason to stop me from moving forward, we are confident to defeat them, the victory of this game must belong to our Napoli team, please wait and see!" ”
