Football

The football territory of the Apennines ushered in a severe shock in the penultimate round of the league. When the other regions of the five major leagues had already settled, Serie A retained the title, Champions League seat and relegation suspense until the final battle with its unique dramatic tension. On the green field this weekend, every flash of the VAR display touched the heartbeat of millions of fans.

In the smoke of Meazza Stadium, the battle between Inter Milan and Lazio is a classic example of tactical game. The Nerazzurri showed his desire for victory at the beginning. In the 30th minute, Bisek smashed the ball into the net with his knee in the melee of the penalty area, reflecting the carefully designed set-piece tactics of Inzaghi. But Sarri's Blue Eagles have always maintained the keenness of predators. 39-year-old veteran Pedro equalized the score with his signature curve ball in just 7 minutes after appearing on the bench. The Spanish international who once played for Barcelona proved with his actions that experience is the most expensive luxury on the green field.

When Dumfries beat the defender in the 84th minute and scored a header, the cheers from the San Siro's stands almost shattered the roof. However, the God of Fate cast a dramatic turn in stoppage time - Bissek gave a handball in the penalty area, and Pedro calmly pushed the shot to complete his self-salvation. This 2-2 draw not only allowed the coaches of the two teams to leave the court one after another, but also pushed the suspense of the Serie A championship to a white-hot temperature. Data shows that Inter Milan's expected goal value (xG) in this game was as high as 2.7, but only 2 goals were obtained. Lazio took away 1 point with his only two shots, which formed a sharp contrast in efficiency values.

At Maradona Stadium in Naples, the crossbar and the post became the most competitive. In the 22nd minute, Gu Isa stopped the ball in his chest and received a volley. The ball hit the post and instantly stopped the cheers of 60,000 fans in the audience. After the change of sides, Kvaratskhelia took the free kick and drew a strange arc, but was once again rejected by Crossbeam Wurong. When the referee canceled the penalty after VAR replay in the 89th minute, Spaletti's furious scene on the sidelines was a true portrayal of the defensive champion's fortune this season. Technical statistics show that Naples created five excellent opportunities in the whole game but failed to win, with a shooting efficiency of as low as 12%, exposing the fatal shortcomings of the front-line finishing ability. The storm of the

The red card storm at the Olympic Stadium rewritten the pattern of competing for European war qualifications. Roma scored a goal with Mancini header just 3 minutes into the opening game, setting a record for the second fast goal in Serie A this season. When Jimenez elbowed his opponent in the 26th minute and was caught by VAR, Milan, who was facing ten players, showed amazing resilience. Felix's supplementary shot in the 47th minute once allowed the Ross and Blacks to see the dawn. But Paredes' free kick skills reappeared. The Argentine midfielder used a 25-meter-long slash to penetrate Menion's ten fingers. This fatal arc with a speed of 112km/h pushed Roma back to the table for the Champions League qualification.

At the other end of the standings, Juventus defeated Udinese 2-0 with a textbook-style defensive counterattack, and the forward combination of Vlahovic and Chiesa completed a total of 7 key passes. This victory not only allowed the Zebras to secure the top four seats, but also passed the pressure on the city's archenemy Torino - who lost 0-1 to Lecce, became the only team in Serie A this season that has not yet been confirmed to be successful in relegation. It is worth noting that from Verona to Venice 19, the five teams are only 4 points apart, and the tragic level of the relegation melee in the last round is the highest in the past decade. The latest simulation of the data agency opta shows that the probability of Napoli winning the final round has risen to 68%, but Inter Milan can still have a 32% chance of a comeback if they can defeat Sassuolo, which is without desire, on the road. In the Champions League qualification competition, Lazio, Roma and Fiorentina form a three-legged stalemate, with the biggest difference between the three teams being only 2 points. Among the relegation legions, Cagliari temporarily escaped from the relegation zone with a 3-0 victory in this round, but he still needs to fight for the relegated Venice in the last round.

When the final whistle sounded, the football map of the Apennines showed an unprecedented chaos. From the throne of the championship to the quagmire of relegation, the fate of the 12 teams will be settled in 90 minutes. The maintenance of this collective suspense not only demonstrates the overall improvement of Serie A's competitiveness, but also reflects the significant improvement in the tactical qualities of small and medium-sized teams. Perhaps just as Milan Sports Daily is a season for tacticians, every goal is the product of precision calculations, and every substitution may be rewritten the league
