Serie A, the first division in Italy, has turned around the halfway point in the 2022/23 season.
Napoli, the league leader, won 2-0 in the away match against Salernitana in the 19th round of the league on the 22nd (Korean time) and was the first to reach the 50-point mark with 16 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss.
AC Milan, the defending champion chasing Napoli, suffered a 0-4 loss to SS Lazio on the 25th and recorded 38 points (11 wins, 5 draws, 3 losses). Failed to reduce the points gap with Napoli.
Juventus, which had been chasing Napoli with Milan, fell to 10th after receiving a 15-point reduction from the Italian Football Association for accounting fraud on the 21st.
Already halfway through the 2022/23 season of Serie A, fans are already expecting Napoli to become league champions as Napoli beat their rivals by a wide margin and maintain their lead in the league.
The reason why fans expect Napoli to win early is that there is no team that has not lifted the championship trophy among Serie A clubs that have won more than 50 points in 19 league games so far.
Including this season, there have been a total of four seasons in which more than 50 points were obtained in half of the league so far.
First, in the 2006/07 season, Inter Milan recorded 51 points when they turned around the league turnaround point, and succeeded in maintaining the momentum until the end of the season, lifting the Scudetto (Serie A championship cup) with 97 points.메이저사이트
In the 2013/14 season, Juventus turned around with 52 points, and finally won the championship by accumulating 102 points, as well as setting the record for the most points in Serie A history.
Afterwards, Juventus recorded 53 points in 19 games in the 2018/19 season, and achieved 8 consecutive league championships by gaining 90 points in 38 rounds.
As such, teams that have scored more than 50 points when half of the league has passed so far have won the championship without exception.
This is why Napoli is expected to be the league champion after 33 years.
As Napoli draws closer to winning the trophy, domestic soccer fans are also expecting South Korean defender Kim Min-jae to lift the trophy.
Kim Min-jae, who moved to Naples in the transfer market last summer, is leading the Napoli march by performing fantastically as soon as he joined.
