Chapter 473 Third or Fourth? (Second change guaranteed, please ask for a monthly pass!)

Naples' appeal was rejected by UEFA and the original version was maintained, which is also the final penalty.

Of course Barcelona's appeal was also rejected.

These are not beyond everyone's expectations. This is the result that many people have thought of beforehand.

In fact, everyone can see that Chen Yingxiong and Naples were cheated by UEFA.But UEFA did a great job this time. They also punished Alves for diving in the penalty result, which is tantamount to attributing all the responsibility to a temporary misjudgment by the referee on duty.Moreover, when the referee Adele was interviewed by the media later, he also said that he did not see clearly whether Chen Yingxiong really elbowed Alves. His distance was a bit far, and there were no line referees near the sideline, so He could only judge that Chen Yingxiong had elbowed the opponent based on Alves falling to the ground.

From this point of view, the referee is also a victim of Alves diving.

Misjudgments are all too normal in football.

When the matter turned into a misjudgment, it successfully blocked the mouths of many people-yes, the referee made a misjudgment, Alves did flop, and UEFA punished Alves for flopping, bravely Admitting your mistakes is absolutely not shirking responsibility.But we punished Chen Yingxiong heavily because of his series of impulsive actions after encountering a misjudgment.

Misjudgments often happen on the court. Why do other people calmly accept misjudgments, but you, Chen Yingxiong, have to be special and make a big fuss?After the misjudgment, he scolded Alves for jumping up the dispute between the two sides, then elbowed the innocent Butzkes, and then provoked the authority of the referee. After the game, he was sent off and rushed to the sidelines to attack the referee. At the same time, there was a conflict with Barcelona assistant coach Vilanova...

Shouldn't these behaviors be severely punished?

Therefore, our heavy penalty to Chen Yingxiong has nothing to do with whether he elbowed Alves, it is entirely because of his series of actions after receiving the red card...

Look, that's reasonable and impeccable, right?
Platini has fully absorbed the experience and lessons after the previous battle with Lyon.Faced with doubts from the media in that game, he insisted that the referee was right, but he was so embarrassed by the media that he could only use the coercion of the UEFA president to forcibly suppress this matter.

This time he generously admitted that the referee made a mistake in making a penalty.

But what is a mistake to a referee?Misjudgments are simply commonplace for referees.

If this problem is limited to the level of misjudgment, the media will not be able to stir up trouble.But if they decide that this is a conspiracy, there are too many things to discuss...

So UEFA's response this time is quite perfect.

After the ticket was issued, apart from several media discussing the impact of UEFA's heavy penalty on Chen Yingxiong on Naples' preparations and signings for next season, no one has paid attention to this.

There are so many distractions in football right now.

For example, in the national derby at the weekend, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 2-0 away and regained the top position in the league.

For example, the hero scored twice in the match against Parma. With 24 goals in the league, he threw away the second-ranked Di Natale by two goals, and basically secured the top scorer position.

All these things deserve your attention...

※ ※ ※

The UEFA Champions League was eliminated, and the league champions also differed too much in terms of points. After 33 rounds, Roma is now ranked first in the league. They surpassed Inter Milan with 68 points with 67 points.

Naples now has 59 points, ranking fourth in the league. No.5 Palermo has 54 points, and the difference between the two sides is five points.And how far is Naples from AC Milan, which is third in the league?Also five points.Roma is nine points away from the top of the league.

This gap is a bit big, even if Naples goes all out, it may not be able to achieve any good results.

Not to mention that the house leak happened to be rainy and it happened in Naples——

On April 30, in the No.2 round of the league, Naples defeated Barry 1:[-] away.But the main central defender Ranocchia suffered a knee injury in that game.After a more detailed examination after the game, a bad result was obtained - Ranocchia's injury was a torn cruciate ligament in his right knee.For a footballer, that's enough of an injury to change their career prospects...

Anyone who plays football knows what it means to be injured in this place.

Immediately, some media lamented that Naples seemed to be possessed by a curse. First, Cassano had a heart attack inexplicably, and then Chen Yingxiong will be suspended for eight games in the Champions League next season, followed by Nokia’s knee cruciate ligament tear... Mazzarri's team's luck is almost at home.

Cassano has just had surgery, and it is not yet known when he will be able to recover.What about Nokia?This injury will definitely require an operation. If you have an operation on this part, don't think about it until six months later.

In other words... If Naples plays in the Champions League next season, it may face a lack of three main players for the entire half of the season...

Cassano is not there, and Sanchez can come on top.Who will be the top when Nokia is gone?What about Chen Yingxiong?He can play in the league, but he can't play in the Champions League. The team must either adjust their tactics and formulate a set of tactics to deal with the Champions League, or buy another striker just for the Champions League...

Mazari felt like his head was going to grow - how could his luck be so bad!

The main central defender has been on a six-month truce, and Naples is even less likely to compete for the league title.Their defense is not very good, and the league championship depends almost entirely on defense.

In this way, the only goal of the Naples team this season is to keep fourth in the league.

In fact, they can also climb up a position. After all, after the fourth round of No.30 in the league, Naples has 62 points, while AC Milan has slowed down. They have 64 points, and the difference between the two teams is only two points.

But Mazari made a calculation, and he couldn't really surpass AC Milan to take the third place in the league.

According to the rules of the Champions League, the top three in Serie A can directly participate in the main match, and No.4 has to play two qualifying matches.

So if Naples really participates directly in the main match...Chen Yingxiong will have to wait until the quarter-finals to play.

Naples, which lacks Chen Yingxiong, may still be able to qualify from the group stage, provided they don't get drawn into the death group... But if they enter the knockout round, they may be in danger.

What's the point if Naples is also eliminated after the hero's suspension expires?
So now it seems that the best choice for Naples is to play in the qualifiers. Only in this way can the two qualifiers be used to offset the two suspensions, and the remaining six games will all stay in the group stage.

For the first time, Mazari had the idea of ​​​​"Why Italy is not a second-tier league in Europe".In this way, Naples can play a few more qualifiers. It would be best if they can directly supervise the ball in the qualifiers.

Now Mazari is really facing the most complicated situation in his coaching career.On the one hand, the Palermo, Sampdoria and other teams behind cannot catch up, and on the other hand, they cannot accidentally overtake AC Milan... This is really neither winning nor losing.

※ ※ ※

Mazari's entanglement is his own, and Chen Yingxiong's goal is very clear.

This season Naples is almost doomed to miss the team honor.

And Chen Yingxiong can also pursue some personal honor.

The Serie A top scorer trophy is waiting for him to lift it for the second time.

After the No.30 round, Chen Yingxiong did not score a goal, but Di Natale only scored one, so the Udinese striker was still one goal away from tying Chen Yingxiong.

There are still four rounds left in the league, and Chen Yingxiong cannot feel safe with a gap of one goal.He staged a big reversal in the last round last year, defeated Ibrahimovic and won the league golden boot.This season, he doesn't want himself to be a tragedy of being reversed by others.

He wants to be the top scorer of the season, and he wants to be the top scorer for consecutive years.

What was said at the Serie A Oscars was no joke.

After four rounds of No.30 without scoring, Chen Yingxiong and Di Natale competed.

Now he has 24 goals, Di Natale has 23 goals, the third-ranked Inter Milan striker Diego Milito has nine goals, and the fourth-ranked Miccoli has sixteen goals. They are all behind the top two. A bit much.

Therefore, the battle for the top scorer of this season, if nothing else, will only happen between Chen Yingxiong and Di Natale.

In fact, Di Natale is quite sad. Since his debut at Empoli, he has always been a half-red and not black player. He is always considered a second-rate striker in Italy.In Empoli, his annual salary was only 35 euros. After moving to Udinese, his current annual salary is only 65 euros, not even a fraction of superstars such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Kaka.

This season is the closest he has come to the Serie A Golden Boot.

But he ran into Chen Yingxiong.

The late bloomers who are over 22 years old and the young players who are not yet [-] years old compete fiercely for the top scorer list in Serie A.

There are still four rounds left in the league, and the competition for championship, relegation, and qualification for the European Championships... all have entered a fierce stage.

The same goes for league shooters.

Both shooters picked up speed and started sprinting.

From the fifth round of League No.30, the spectators could easily smell the smell of gunpowder in the air.

In the fifth round of No.30, Naples was tied 1:1 by Cagliari at home, and Chen Yingxiong scored the only goal for Naples.And when Cagliari finally scored to equalize the score, Mazzarri breathed a sigh of relief because...in the earlier game, AC Milan lost 1:3 away to Palermo...Napoli The tie in this game kept them from surpassing AC Milan to rank third in the league, and now the two teams are only one point away...

Di Natale also scored a goal in Udinese's 4-1 home win over Siena at the same time.

The two sides are still only one goal away.
