In addition to the top two teams, Brescia, who are in third place in Serie B so far this season, have not kept up with the top two at this time, and they have fallen seriously behind.

Brescia have lost one of those three rounds and are now on 36 points, a full six points behind Parma.

Behind Brescia, some distance was pulled away by Parma, and Parma fans were a lot more relaxed about it.

And then, they threw themselves into the battle for the top spot with Palermo.

The next match in the twentieth round is the battle between Parma and Palermo, which is a direct dialogue between the two teams for the top spot.

The winner is king, and the loser is the loser!

This match is played by Parma away from home, with Palermo having a geographical advantage. However, Donadoni is not too worried, in this game, the Parma team has only one goal, the team is in hot form to get all three points!

Donadoni takes this game very seriously, and in this week's training, Donadoni is extremely demanding, and he is constantly instilling in the training the importance of the next game with Palermo to motivate the Parma players.

Jiang Chen and the players of the Parma team can feel Donadoni's caution and take this game very seriously, of course they don't want to lose to Palermo, they want to get back the top position that belongs to them.

Jiang Chen and his teammates already have this heart, Donadoni doesn't emphasize it, they are also full of fighting spirit.

Because Parma had always occupied the top spot in Serie B before, but during the ups and downs of his own performance, Palermo took the opportunity to overtake them and squeezed them out of the top position.

So in this battle, he must win and help Parma return to the top of the table and get back what once belonged to him.

The outside media also attached great importance to this game, and many media reporters began to flock to the training grounds of Parma and Palermo, wanting to interview the players and coaches of the two teams, and want to know how the two teams are preparing now?

Of course, there are also a lot of fans who are watching this game and they are looking forward to this game, especially the Parma fans, who want to return to the top of the table very strongly.

Palermo is located in the autonomous region of Sicily, is an island city off the coast of Italy, because Italy is not large, for Jiang Chen, it is very close to Parma, the Parma team can go directly to Sicily on the same day, and come back the same night after the game.

Founded in 1900, Palermo has gone through several ups and downs since the team's inception, together with another Sicilian team, Cagliari, known as the Sicilian duo.

They have a long history, having won four Serie B titles and a runner-up in the Coppa Italia, so it can be said that the history of the Palermo team still has some heritage, but it is a notch worse than Parma.

In the twentieth round of Serie B this season, Parma will go away to challenge Palermo, which is the battle of Tianwang Mountain in Serie B.

Palermo are now top of the Serie B table, one win ahead of Parma.

It was a crucial match, as a win over Palermo would see Parma overtake them and return to the top of Serie B.

And if Palermo beat Parma, then Palermo will establish a six-point advantage, which is definitely the last thing Parma want to see.

In the run-up to the game, numerous media outlets began to flock to Parma and Palermo, to their training grounds and hotels, hoping to get first-hand information on their arrivals.

During the training, Jiang Chen could clearly feel that there were several times more reporters outside the training ground than in the past, and such a press corps was relatively large even in Serie A.

Jiang Chen really didn't expect that a Serie B match would attract so much attention.

The team has a good record recently and is in hot form.

Donadoni was naturally in a good mood, he was not nervous and restrained because of the big game, and he did not stop the players from going to the media for interviews.

Of course, he Donadoni did not refuse the media either.

In an interview, Donadoni said: "Palermo have a good record this year, they have exceeded many people's expectations, and it is clear that Palermo will be our biggest competitor on the road to promotion this season. ”

Last season's results were not particularly ideal, finishing in the middle of the league and missing out on promotion play-offs, which was a tragedy for Palermo.

Therefore, in this season, Palermo FC is desperately committed to achieving promotion this season.

Although Palermo has invested a lot in the summer, the media and Serie B counterparts are not very likely to think that the Palermo team will have too good results, and they think that Palermo will get the top six at most this season to participate in the play-offs.

However, after the start of the new season, the strong performance of the Palermo team surprised everyone.

Palermo has been keeping up with Parma since the beginning of the new season, and even alternating with Parma for the top spot in the league, which is truly incredible to everyone.

That's why Mr. Donadoni said that, and Palermo did give him a big shock.

Donadoni added: "This game is very important for both of us, especially for Parma, it will be our best chance to get back to the top of the league, we will not give up easily, we have to win this game!" ”

Donadoni has been in a really good mood lately, the team has been doing well, which makes Donadoni also full of confidence, and he firmly believes that his team can beat Palermo.

Donadoni added: "We prepared well for this game, I have studied Palermo very deeply, I have mastered their tactical characteristics, I am also very aware of their weaknesses, I have made detailed arrangements for this game, we are very confident of winning. ”

Donadoni's confidence shocked all the reporters on the scene, and it was clear that the Parma team must win this game.

Of course, Palermo won't allow Parma to get their hands on it either.

After Donadoni's interview ended, media reporters immediately surrounded Parma's players.

Parma captain Lucarelli said in an interview with the media: "Palermo have been very good this season, the results are amazing, I didn't expect them to be our biggest opponents for promotion. ”
