The twenty-sixth round of Serie A was destined to be unusual from the first game.
Roma was at home and defeated Parma 4-0 with goals from Aquilani, Totti and Vucinic.
This is a very hot start for the twenty-sixth round of the league.
Afterwards, Ancelotti's team drew 1-1 with Lazio at home.
After a wave of winning streak during the winter break, AC Milan began to experience ups and downs in form.
Especially affected by the Champions League, their performance has obviously been poor in recent times, resulting in them losing points frequently in Serie A and never being able to break through the gap from fifth to fourth.
Juventus lost to Fiorentina 2-3 at home.
Ranieri's team has completely lost the possibility of winning the Serie A championship, and there is even a faint possibility of losing fourth place in Serie A, because they are now only one point ahead of Fiorentina.
This once again proves what Gao Shen said before that the fastest way to shorten the gap in the standings is through direct dialogue between each other...
Fiorentina quickly narrowed the points gap from four points to one point with a score of 3 to 2 at the Alpi Stadium.
The rest depends on the next games between the two teams.
…
The finale of the twenty-sixth round is Naples facing Inter Milan at home.
This is not only the focus of Serie A, but also the decisive battle that fans around the world are paying attention to.
Gao Shen publicly stated at the pre-match press conference that this game is the most important battle for Naples this season and the Shangganling battle in Serie A this season.
"Unfortunately, we should have won a victory at San Siro, but due to various reasons, we failed to take all three points, but I specially asked my players to relive the game."
"I will even let my players relive the 0-3 match last season during the break before the game. I hope my players can always remember that humiliating game!"
Yes, humiliation!
Gao Shen has always used this word to describe the game last season.
He never belittled himself because he was a Serie B team at the time, nor did he take it for granted because the opponent was Inter Milan. He only saw that on the court, Naples was helpless against Inter Milan.
One year has passed.
Today's Naples is no longer the Serie B team last season, but the team ranked second in Serie A and competing with Inter Milan for the league championship!
"My players, my colleagues and I will do our best to defeat Inter Milan at the San Paolo Stadium and top Serie A again!"
Gao Shen's loud and powerful declaration before the game made fans all over Italy, Europe and even the world excited.
The reason why Hamlet's story is a classic and has everlasting popularity is that his spiritual core can always infect everyone.
Today's Gao Shen and his Naples are like the prince who has returned for revenge.
Even in China, many media are exaggerating this game, thinking that Gao Shen is using practical actions to interpret a well-known idiom in the country, risking his life and taking courage!
The authoritative party newspaper even made a rare comment on this game before the game, believing that Gao Shen had already won when he bravely faced Inter Milan!
"From him, we see a spirit of tenacity, hard work and no fear of power!"
Not only in China, but in the entire Asian region and even around the world, this game has received unprecedented attention.
This is not only a battle for the Serie A championship, but also an epic battle of revenge.
Even in the United States, which is known as a football desert, the New York Times reported on this game before the game, believing that this was the most watched game in European football so far this season.
"Media from all over the world rushed to a stadium in Naples, a city in southern Italy. The stadium originally had only more than 54,000 seats, but it was expanded to 60,000 in a short period of time, but it still could not satisfy the enthusiastic fans. Nearly two hundred countries
Live broadcast with regional TV stations..."
"This is not only a Serie A league, but also a festival for fans all over the world!"

In order to accommodate more fans in different time zones, this focus game is scheduled for 19:30 on Sunday night.
But in fact, as night fell, fans had already begun to enter the venue.
Naples President De Laurentiis hosted a banquet tonight to entertain football champion Maradona, who flew over from Argentina.
Maradona was invited to participate in Inter Milan's centenary celebration, but the decisive battle in Naples was imminent, so Maradona decided to fly to Naples in advance to prepare for the game in Naples.
Before the game, Maradona said in an interview with the media, "Before Naples and Inter Milan, I chose Naples without hesitation!"
In addition to Maradona, there are also several highly invited guests, such as Sacchi, Valdano, Zidane, Guardiola and Cruyff, etc. In addition, the famous Italian Trapattoni,
Capello, Lippi and others also came to the scene to watch the game.
This made the San Paolo Stadium in Naples shine with stars in an extremely rare way.
De Laurentiis was so happy throughout the whole process that he was like a hard-working little bee, shuttling in front of all kinds of guests. Here he was chatting and laughing with political and business celebrities from Naples and even Italy, and there he was chatting with football big names and celebrities.
He is eloquent, and there are a lot of media from all over the world waiting for interviews...
De Laurentiis has never been as proud as he is today in his life.
This made the Naples chairman hold his head high and his chest high throughout the whole process, and he was extremely high-spirited. He almost had the word "nouveau riche" written on his face, but this was what he deserved.
After all, he was the one who personally lured Gao Shen to Naples, and that's how Naples became what it is today.
After eating and drinking, De Laurentiis invited guests from all walks of life to the Sao Paulo Stadium.

When the players went out for training, Gao Shen got Inter Milan's starting lineup.
Mancini adopted a 4-3-1-2 formation tonight, which is his regular tactic in the Champions League, with three midfielders and a conservative side. However, in Italy, Inter Milan has always used a 4-4-2 formation.
It's obvious that he is also very cautious about this game.
"It seems that the news before the game is true." Lucas said.
Before the game, some media broke the news that when Moratti inspected Inter Milan's training base, he asked Mancini to maintain a draw in the away game and maintain the league leader's position, because next weekend is Inter Milan's centenary celebration.
After leading for most of the season, if they lose the leader before the centenary celebration and fail to reverse Liverpool in the Champions League next week, will Inter Milan still be able to hold the centenary celebration?
Judging from the starting lineup, Mancini is indeed very cautious.
Goalkeeper: Cesar.
Defence: Maxwell, Chivu, Materazzi and Maicon.
Midfield: Vieira, Cambiasso and Zanetti form the back three, with Stankovic advancing forward.
Forwards: Suazo and Ibrahimovic.
There is an obvious change, that is, center Cruz has become Suazo.
"This actually reflects Mancini's mentality. Suazo will be more effective in counterattacks because he is faster and Cruz is good at attacking difficulties." Gao Shen quickly saw through Mancini's thoughts.
In fact, it's not too difficult to guess, because Mancini doesn't have many choices.
Gao Shen has always concluded that Inter Milan is in poor condition at this stage and does not dare to play against Naples.
Everyone can see that Naples has gradually improved in recent times and has obviously reached the peak of its form, while Inter Milan is at a low point. If they play against Naples, Inter Milan will die miserably.
"It can be seen from the formation that he is in a very conflicted mood now. He does not dare to take risks, is afraid of losing the ball, but also wants to win. Therefore, his start must be stable. This is Mancini's character.
"Gao Shen analyzed it very firmly.
If it were Benitez or Ferguson, Gao Shen would really be unsure, but Mancini would not risk it.
Thinking of this, Gao Shen raised the corner of his mouth and couldn't help laughing, "We can attack boldly with confidence!"
…
Naples still played in a 4-2-3 formation in this game.
Goalkeeper: Handanovic.
Defence: Vargas, David Luiz, Bonucci and Lichtsteiner.
Midfield: The double defensive midfielders are Biglia and Rakitic, and the front is Di Maria, Hamsik and Sanchez.
Center: Cavani.
This is also Naples' best-fitting main lineup so far this season.
At the same time, after adjustments and refinements by the senior and coaching staff, this group of players has also been in the best shape in recent times.
It can even be said that Gao Shen has been preparing for this game since the winter break. At the same time, there are two strong dialogues that Naples must win, otherwise, this season will be over.
…
When the players returned from the court to the locker room, the coaching staff immediately began to get busy.
Gao Shen listed Inter Milan's starting lineup, as well as the style of play he guessed, and made targeted deployments and arrangements with the players.
Inter Milan's starting lineup actually did not surprise Gao Shen, but injured players such as Maxwell, Cambiasso and Ibrahimovic all played, which did give Gao Shen a little surprise.
How much strength can these three players bring to the table?
"three aspects!"
Gao Shen showed three fingers in front of the players.
"First, remember what I said before the game. Inter Milan's midfielders, Vieira, have too many injuries and are old. Neither Cambiasso nor Zanetti are regular midfielders. In terms of positional sense,
It's not enough, so when they retreat, it's easy for them to retreat too far back and expose the front edge of the penalty area."
When he said this, Gao Shen looked at Hamsik, Rakitic and Biglia, and the three of them nodded in unison.
"Second, goalkeeper, I don't need to say more about this, I have firmly remembered it!"
This time, all the players on the team nodded in unison.
"third……"
Gao Shen paused for a moment, looked deeply at everyone in front of him, and spoke in an unprecedented solemn tone.
"From the second the game whistle blows, you have to launch the strongest pressure towards Inter Milan's goal, suffocate the opponent, not leave them even the slightest gap, and pinch me hard.
Kill them!"
"Have you remembered everything?" Gao Shen shouted.
