From the man behind the football king to the football king

Who can stop Novara!

The past 17 rounds of the league have proven that 17 teams are not good enough, including strong Serie B teams like Empoli and Verona, as well as Serie B weaklings like Grosseto and Vercelli. , including Serie B backbones such as Padua and Bari.

17 teams fell to Novara's butcher's knife one by one. Among them were Lanciano, Verona, Trana, Reggina, Brescia, and Ascoli. , there are also two-goal wins like Padua, Bari, Vercelli, Grosseto, Empoli, and Stabia, and there are also Spezia, Citadella, and Crotone who have been defeated by two goals. A huge bloodbath and massacre.

In this way, 17 teams were defeated one by one in front of Novara in different ways.

The 17 losers created Novara's great achievement that can be recorded in the history of Italian football: 17 consecutive victories!

This is an achievement that created a historical winning streak record in Serie B!

As a country's second-tier league, it is actually difficult to have a so-called overlord, because once a team performs well in Serie B, it will basically be promoted to Serie A quickly.

Therefore, in Serie B, it is difficult to generate too high points, and it is also difficult to generate too many winning streaks.

Even though Juventus was ordered to be relegated due to Calciopoli, even though they swept Serie B strongly in the following Serie B season, they failed to achieve such a great achievement.

In fact, in the 2006-2007 season, although Juventus achieved an excellent record of 28 wins, 10 draws and 4 losses, their longest historical record was only 8 games.

After achieving 17 consecutive victories, there are only 4 teams left in Serie B that have not lost to Novara this season. They were the last 4 teams they encountered during their six-game losing streak: Sasso Los Angeles, Vicenza, Livorno and Modena.

As long as Novara can win 4 more games, they will complete the victory over the other 21 Serie B teams!

Similarly, this also means that among the remaining 21 Serie B teams, 4 teams have been double-killed by Novara. The four unlucky guys are Cesena, Stabia, Spezia and Brescia.

………………

17 consecutive victories have brought Novara from hell to heaven.

At the end of the 17th round of Serie B, when Novara suffered a humiliating six-game losing streak, they were still ranked 19th in Serie B, just a hair away from the relegation zone, and 24 points ahead of Sassuolo at the top. huge gap.

But after 17 consecutive victories, Novara's record has improved to 21 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses, with 66 points. This allowed them to surpass Verona and Livorno, who both have 64 points, and rise to second place in the standings.

In front of them, only Sassuolo was left alone. Green Barcelona achieved an excellent record of 22 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses in the first 34 rounds, with a score of 73 points. Even if Novara is not deducted, it will be 3 points less than Sassuolo.

This shows how good Sassuolo has performed this season.

After Verona and Livorno both lost to Novara, the only other team that has a greater hope of defeating Novara is Sassuolo.

In the 14th round, Sassuolo defeated Novara at home. Although the score was only 2:0, anyone who has watched the game knows that the real gap between the two teams is not just two goals.

In that game, Sassuolo won without bloodshed and completely crushed them.

That game was a heavy blow to Novara. Even Bruno felt a deep sense of powerlessness and almost doubted his life.

Subsequently, Novara continued to sink, losing to Vicenza, Livorno and Modena, and almost fell into the relegation zone!

It can be said that if it were not for encountering Sassuolo at such a critical moment, the painful experience of six consecutive defeats would probably not have happened to Novara.

………………

Coincidentally, Novara's next opponent is Sassuolo!

On the evening of April 5th, local time in Italy, Novara will sit at home and face top-ranked Sassuolo!

This will be the strongest conversation in Serie B this season!

Yes, the strongest dialogue in Serie B this season, the real battle at Tianwang Mountain!

Although, judging from the first round of the match between the two sides, the strength gap between Novara and Sassuolo is somewhat large.

However, after five long months, Novara is no longer the same Novara!

After experiencing the baptism of a painful six-game losing streak, and the subsequent 17-game winning streak that created a strong heart, Novara has truly completed its transformation!

This can be seen from what happened during the 17-game winning streak. Nowadays, Novara is really not arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat. Even if they encounter an unfavorable situation, they can quickly stabilize their position. , seeking opportunities to counterattack.

It is this mentality that allowed them to survive several crises in a row and win 17 consecutive victories that shocked Italian football!

………………

According to the Italian media, this game happened at the right time.

As the first weekend of April is approaching, the front page title of "Gazzetta dello Sport" is: Novara VS Sassuolo - the battle of the kings of Serie B!

Yes, the focus of the "Gazzetta dello Sport" report is not the upcoming Serie A dialogue between AC Milan and Fiorentina, but directly focuses on a Serie B match!

This is really outrageous!

However, in the eyes of the media, AC Milan's outstanding performance during this period has allowed them to climb to third place in Serie A, but it is not enough to rekindle their hope of winning the championship. At best, it has made AC Milan's third place more stable. .

In the eyes of the media, the battle between Novara, the magical team that has won 17 consecutive games in Serie B, and Sassuolo, which has dominated Serie B this season, seems to be more exciting.

Will Novara defeat Sassuolo and continue to rewrite the Serie B winning streak; or will Sassuolo defeat Novara strongly and continue to consolidate its advantage in the standings?

In fact, in this game, Novara, which is 6 points behind Sassuolo, cannot afford to lose.

In the words of "Gazzetta dello Sport", if Novara plays ball, not only will the 17-game winning streak be ended, but the gap with Sassuolo in the standings will widen to 9 points, losing the last hope of winning the Serie B championship.

And if Sassuolo loses, Novara will be 3 points behind Sassuolo, and the suspense of the Serie B championship will continue to be maintained.

What if Novara and Sassuolo draw?

"Turin Sports" gave the answer: This is the result that Verona and Livorno are most looking forward to.

In the 35th round of Serie B, Verona’s opponent is Trana, and Livorno’s opponent is Ascoli. The opponents of both teams are not strong, and both teams are playing at home, so scoring 3 points is a high probability.

If such a thing really happens, then Serie B will have the story of the three strong forces encircling and suppressing Sassuolo, and Serie B will become more lively than ever.
