The Old Griffin is already safe for a discussion of direct clashes: Empoli-Frosinone will be played on May 5th, Udinese-Empoli on May 19th, Frosinone-Udinese on May 25th. And so these three teams can’t win them all! Rossoblù fans celebrating.
Surprise on the evening of Sunday 28 April at home rossoblu genoana! The old Griffin he is already mathematically safe, still to play the postponement with the Cagliari on Monday 29 April.
The reason is very simple, it’s all a game of direct clashes.
Let’s take Udinese for example, who are third from last and would be relegated if they finished the championship: to reach Genoa in the standings, given that they have 29 points with 4 matches remaining, they would have to win them all, and would reach 41.
Let’s see immediately above Udinese, at 31, where they are Empoli, Hellas and Frosinone.
These three teams if they won them all they would rise to 43.
But this is not possible because all three will not be able to win them allfor a discussion of direct clashes: Empoli-Frosinone on 5 May, Udinese-Empoli on 19 May, Frosinone-Udinese on 25 May.
So Genoa are already mathematically safe at 39 points!
Congratulations Old fool, And congratulations to the club and Mr. Gilardino.
