To be fair Napoli's title defence season has been abysmal...but still, for a club like Empoli to do the double.. that was something special, especially for Libby, given his Napoli affiliations.
Empoli are making it hard for themselves this season though, they lost to Atalanta 2-0 overnight. Libby started on the pine, but was subbed on at 25' (0-0). He replaced a CB but moved to the left, with Pezzella moving into the center of defense.
Empoli are one spot above relegation, and +2 over Udinese.
Frosinone, Empoli and Hellas Verona all on 31 points, Cagliari on 32.
Next up, arguably the most important match so far, at home vs Frosinone who beat the whipping boys of the league Salernitata 3-0.
A win for Empoli would be huge.
Though they still have to go to Rome to play Lazio, then are away at Udinese for another relegation battle, before finishing the season at home vs Roma who are still fighting for a UCL spot.
4 points from the two relegation battles might be enough.
I really hope it isn't my team Roma who sends them down in the last game. I've always had a soft spot for Empoli who had a terrific team and punched well above their weight in the 00s. I had half their team in my fantasy football and won a good amount of money thanks to them...
