Complex game within the Italian Football Association. If there is a championship playoff, Conte may also make a big move

In the third round of Serie A, Inter Milan defeated Turin, Napoli was forced to get together by Genoa, and the score difference between the top two players was only 1 point.

" Milan Sports Daily" introduced: After Inter Milan played against Turin, he took a bus and returned along the A4 road. During the journey, all players focused on Naples' game through communication. When Genoa changed the score to 2-2, the morale in the bus reached its peak.

At the end of the Naples game, Inter Milan was still 20 kilometers away from returning to the base. On this last section of the road, Inter Milan coaches were all excited. Italian media described that "the team's morale was burning to a dizzying level."

This proves that Inter Milan coach really values ​​the Serie A championship, or in other words, if the championship falls, everyone will not be willing to accept it.

"Republican", Calcio e Finanza and other media introduced that as the season approaches, the 38th round of kickoff time and if there is a Serie A championship play-off, which day will be arranged, trigger a complex game within Serie A. This is the chaos in Serie A today - all parties calculate and destroy each other for their own interests, making it difficult to make any decisions in the league, and sometimes it is even more difficult to accomplish a small matter.

Let me briefly introduce the situation.

If the first and second place score in Serie A this season, they will definitely play in the championship playoffs. Calculate the rankings in small points? That was the rule 2-3 years ago, and it was changed long ago.

Now Inter Milan loses 1 point, unless Inter Milan loses in the 37th round and Naples wins, the difference between the two teams reaches 4 points. In other cases, before the last round, as long as the difference between the two teams is within 3 points or 3 points, theoretically, it is still possible that the two teams will score the same after the 38th round.

Then the kick-off time of the last round is very subtle.

Inter Milan will play the Champions League final on May 31. In early June (the World Cup qualifiers and other national team competitions are scheduled on June 5-6 and 9-10), it is the national team competition day stipulated by FIFA, and club competitions are not allowed.

The Club World Cup kicked off on June 14, and FIFA asked each team to arrive in the United States a few days in advance. This is the

schedule. So, if the Serie A champion can only compete through the play-offs, then this game will almost certainly be scheduled before the Champions League. Because the time after that was taken.

experts pointed out that the best solution for the Italian Football Association is to play in the 38th round of Serie A, Inter Milan and Naples in advance to Wednesday (May 21) local time. Both teams must kick off at the same time, which is the rule.

In this way, if there is a playoff, you can arrange it on that weekend (25th). Only in this way can we ensure that Inter Milan has one week to prepare for the Champions League final after playing the league.

However, Italian media pointed out that such a simple little thing is difficult to accomplish and there are two problems to be solved.

First, in the 38th round, there is no problem with the match between Inter Milan and Como in advance. But Napoli's opponent is Cagliari. If Cagliari has not actually completed relegation after round 37 (Caliari is currently 5 points ahead of Lecce, the third-last), it will be difficult to advance the game. Because all relegation teams must adhere to the "simultaneous principle" in the last round of the game.

Of course, this remains to be seen. It is possible that after the next round, Cagliari will successfully "get ashore".

Furthermore, according to the Italian "Sports Fair Code", the game date needs to be agreed upon by all participants in the game. However, is Naples willing to advance the 38th round a few days?至少意媒认为，真出现这种情况，科莫、卡利亚里、国米都会同意，但那不勒斯未必会同意将末轮赛事提前。

de Laurentis is not a good match, as we all know.

Conte also has his considerations. The last time, Conte's team played in the mid-week match on December 5, 2024 (European Cup 1/8 finals). For half a year, they have been playing one game a week, and suddenly shortened the interval between rounds 37 and 38 to 3 days. Naples would think this is unfair, because in terms of experience in dealing with 3 days and 1 game, Naples is not a little worse than Inter Milan. As for Inter Milan to play in the Champions League final, what does this have to do with Naples? Why do you want them to give in!

If Conte really uses such a big move, the problem will be complicated.

In short, Italian media pointed out: "This is why the Serie A office still cannot set the schedule for the 38th round of Serie A and the possible championship playoffs. The chaos still exists, and there are difficult problems in managing the situation."

In fact, for some time, this kind of chaos has been happening in the Serie A office.

Mallotta and others have been calling for Serie A to learn from Ligue 1 and Bundesliga, and reduce the number of teams to 18, reduce the number of rounds and reduce the load of players, so that Serie A teams can strive for high returns in European wars, which can improve the survival situation of the entire league. However, because 7-8 small teams firmly disagree based on their own interests (afraid of being relegated), such a change has been brewing for 7-8 years. Even though they knew it was a good thing, they just couldn't do it.

There are many other ideas, such as organizing 1-2 rounds of league games to play in the Middle East or Asia to increase revenue... These ideas are all good, but because there are always several teams who firmly oppose it, they cannot be achieved.

Now, the same problem is reflected again.

Let's wait and see, and see if there will be a championship playoff this time. At that time, whether the Football Association can really make a comeback to Inter Milan fight a farce three days before the Champions League final.
