This was not a wave of hostility. The tens of thousands of home fans were shouting, not for any player on their own team, but for Lorenzo, who was standing at the head of the Piacenza team and wearing the captain's armband.

In the south stand of the Bentegoti Stadium, a huge tifo is undulating. On the huge tifo, a player wearing No. 3 Chievo uniform can be vaguely seen looking up. There is an Italian sentence below it.

.

"Welcome home, Dana."

In such a warm reception, no player would remain silent. Lorenzo walked into the stadium and raised his hands tremblingly. He looked around and looked at the place where he had stood for ten years. The corners of his eyes were a little moist.

.

After being sold to Piacenza by the club last season and having a bad relationship with Castori.

He never thought that one day he would be able to return to Bentegoti as a player. Lorenzo, who was notified by Castori to leave the team during the winter break, was even ready to announce his retirement at that time.

But luckily, he came back, although this time, as an opponent.

Without further ado, when the captains of the two teams came to the referee to guess the coin, Pellissier laughed and chatted with Lorenzo for a few words before choosing to give up. He directly asked Lorenzo to choose the ball.

Power still requires field.

This was the Chievo players' final concession to their old captain before the game started.

"Dana, I'm glad you're back, but this time the winner will be us."

"Haha, Sergio, you are still so confident." Lorenzo smiled and accepted Pelissier's kindness, but he had a different view on the outcome of the game: "However, I will not take it easy.

To admit defeat.”

"Really? I'll wait and see."

In the end, Lorenzo chose the ball. For the visiting team without home field advantage, it doesn't really mean which half it is in, but having the ball allows them to better control the initiative.

Players from both sides stood up and took their positions. With the referee's whistle, this highly anticipated game officially kicked off.

This is a battle at Tianwang Mountain. People have talked about this countless times before the game in the analysis of the strength of the two teams. The players on both sides are very excited after their respective teams completed four consecutive victories and an incredible seventeen-game unbeaten run.

All reached their peak.

So from the first minute of the game, the game became exciting.

After Piacenza kicked off from Cascia, the ball quickly moved from the frontcourt to the midfield. Nainggolan and Padalino took advantage of their respective advantages to play with the first batch of Chievo forwards who crossed the center line.

Later, when the ball was knocked to Scarpelli who rushed up from behind Nainggolan in a backheel pass, Scarpelli directly took a long pass and found Daniel Wolf who had already rushed in from the right.

Wolf has outstanding speed, and he got the ball before Chievo's left back Derre Mantovani reached the landing point.

Having been emphasized countless times before the game not to stick to the ball too much, he did not give Mantovani, who had excellent stealing ability, a chance. He raised his eyes and glanced at the situation in the penalty area. He took off his foot diagonally before Mantovani approached him.

Cross to the center.

In the midfield, Cassia and Padalino had already reached the penalty area line. They rushed towards Chievo's penalty area at the same time when Wolfe passed the ball. As usual, Padalino was the wingman and Cassia was the main attacker.

.

When a team becomes more and more famous, it means that it is easier for its opponents to obtain information about it. With Cassia being rated as the top five header forwards in Serie B by some media who like rankings, even a fool

Everyone knows to guard against Piacenza's high-altitude ball.

As Chievo has surprisingly high player quality and tactical execution ability, they have no reason not to make arrangements for Casillas.

Before Liu Feng was injured, Iachini was worried that putting the defensive center on Liu Feng too much would cause Cassia to succeed in the chaos. But now there is only a single arrow left in Piacenza, which is easy to solve.

.

A secret and innocuous tug was used by Iachini's 190cm-tall central defender Genna Rosado specifically to target Cassia.

With his height advantage, he directly jumped a head above Casilla, and steadily hit the ball before it reached Cassia's head. As Sado overwhelmed Cassia with a header to clear the ball, Chievo's

The crisis in front of the door has been resolved.

Chievo fans also gave the team warm applause after the team completed a high-quality defense. Their home team was as stable as usual.

After Piacenza's attack ended, the offense and defense quickly switched, and Chievo began their counterattack.

From the moment Sado pushed the ball out, Chievo's players began to work in full swing.

Another center back, David Manderley, grabbed the first shot from his teammate and passed the ball with a long pass to the team's right winger. The camera instantly moved from their backcourt to the frontcourt.

There is no need to talk about the power of Chievo's Trident in the league. Carney also repeatedly told the team's defensive players to be alert before the game. Therefore, when the right winger crossed the center line, Piacenza's

Everyone was highly nervous.

The first one to pounce was the team's left midfielder Guzman. His body was relatively thin, so he did not choose to lean on and confront the opponent head-on. Instead, he chose to run with the opponent's winger and constantly press him to the side.

There is no problem with this choice. The problem is that Guzman is facing a player with extremely rich experience. After a big dunk, Guzman was wiped out before he could turn around.

As a through ball passed between Scarpelli and Nainggolan who were slightly far away, Pelissier quickly ran into position and received the ball less than five meters from the top of the penalty area.

This kind of counterattack was really sharp. Chievo just passed a few passes and directly broke the heavy midfield force arranged by Carney, bringing the duel back to the frontcourt offensive and defensive battle that they are extremely good at.

When Pellissier got the ball, there was no defensive player around him for a moment, and he quickly dribbled the ball forward. When he was about to enter the penalty area, he faced the central defender coming from Piacenza.

Then, he chose to score the ball.

A wonderful pass with a heel, the ball passed from the side of the defensive player into the penalty area. After Chievo passed the ball, the left winger came from the right. At this moment, he rushed into the penalty area from outside the penalty area and sent a goal without hesitation.

Foot shovel shot.

"Bang!"

"Ho~~~"

Unfortunately, the ball from the forward's feet did not fly towards the goal amidst the extended roars of the home fans.

Because at that moment, a flying broad back appeared in the path of the ball. With a huge impact, the shot was firmly blocked.

That figure was none other than Lorenzo who was returning from the wing to the penalty area.

"Lorenzo! Nice block!!! This player has no water resistance against his old club."

Fabio expressed great appreciation in the commentary room: "In the first 20 minutes of the game, Piacenza and Chievo gave us a very exciting offensive and defensive battle."
Chapter completed!
