The Napoli all'Ezio Scida beats the Crotone with a shrunken as important 1-0, in anticipation of the 19ª and last day of the first round of the Serie A championship 2017 / 2018. The men of Sarri will therefore lead to + 4 on Juventus that tomorrow will be engaged Verona against Hellas, and whose eventual success will not allow him to hook at the top the Azzurri who are mathematically champions of winter. At the 17º of the first half, the Hamsik network was decisive: at the end of the game he commented: "we can not allow ourselves to wait for the game to end like this, we have to close it first, but the important thing is that we won. The three points count. The Scudetto? The road has been right for three years, now we want to reap the benefits ". The Slovak who wears the 17 shirt is as mentioned at the 17º has signed his 117º goal with the shirt of Naples, he added: "I am superstitious, we hope that at Naples the 17 will bring good luck. Mertens and Callejon do not mark? Today they tried, Cordaz made some good saves, they will be released soon ". Speaking of the controversy mentioned in the title, at home Crotone, the Calabrian technician Walter Zenga has to say the least: "The touch of Mertens? I would like to understand how the VAR works. I just got back to training in Italy and I was immediately disqualified for protests. " Today I did not protest, I do not say anything because the images speak. We did a great game but I would like to understand how the Var works. If the referee does not get there he must get the VAR but from the pictures it seems clear to me that there is a penalty for us. I would like to understand how it works, who manages it and who looks at things. I do not want to say that they did not give the penalty because it was the Croton but this thing leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. The fourth man told me that the VAR did the silent check saying it was not a penalty. I think a penalty at that moment could have reopened the race. Reviewing the images you wonder how it is possible that the VAR did not give this rigor: I am very shocked and very angry. There is nothing here of involuntary. Result modified by this episode? I did not say this. At 65esimo there was a penalty and the penalties must be scored and it is said that we would have drawn, but these episodes here can change the ranking of a team like ours that is fighting for salvation. However, the Crotone has made a level performance against a team that will fight until the end for the Scudetto. We had to be less frantic out and we had to be more confident in handling the ball: we have to improve but we are on the right track ".
