May 22 Not long ago, Serie A chairman Simonnelli was interviewed and talked about the potential championship playoffs between Naples and Inter Milan.

He said: "The play-off is the ultimate performance of sportsmanship. Deciding a championship by goal difference is not the ideal way. All teams have experienced 38 rounds of games and have made great efforts. Unfortunately, this year's beautiful idea conflicts with the busy schedule and teams like Inter. Milan are preparing for the Champions League final in Munich on May 31. We will hold a conference on June 6 to discuss this matter, but in my opinion, the play-off system should be retained. . This is a very good arrangement. "

" But I will add a rule. If one of the teams participating in the playoffs is a team in the Champions League final, then the previous rules will be restored to determine the championship by goal difference or mutual results in the same score. Doing so will protect the competition of the league and not cause injustice to those teams competing for European Championships. If special circumstances occur like this year, then the teams that win by the old ranking rules will win the championship. "
