Although there was a wonderful block, the pace of the game did not slow down.

After being passed by the opponent with a through ball, Scarpelli directly chased back, and then received the ball blocked by Lorenzo in front of the penalty area.

After getting the ball, he made a simple change of direction and passed Pellisier who was trying to counterattack, and then passed the ball to Nainggolan who was reaching for him in the midfield. This time Nainggolan did not choose to directly pass the ball.

Send the ball out.

After getting the ball and turning around, Nainggolan, who has been completely trained by Carney into a qualified b2b player, chose to drive the ball by himself. On the court, with Nainggolan as the center, Piacenza's midfield and frontcourt were also very fast.

Get running.

Just when people thought that Piacenza would once again attack Chievo's door, Chievo finally showed people the core ability that allowed him to remain undefeated for seventeen rounds - his desperate defense.

When Piacenza attacked for the first time, they gave Chievo's defenders almost no time to react. Even so, Sado still had a very obvious advantage and overpowered Cassia, who was excellent at heading the ball, to clear the ball.

Now, when the two teams entered a normal offensive and defensive rhythm, Chievo, who had enough time to set up their defense, began to exert its strength.

When Nainggolan dribbled the ball across the center line, he didn't feel anything yet, but as he continued to approach the Chievo penalty area as he dribbled the ball, the pressure he faced increased sharply.

With his strong body, he overcame the first defensive midfielder he faced, but then the second defensive player pounced on him, leaving Nainggolan with very little time to think about whether to play the ball.

, which also led him to continue to choose to surpass others.

Nainggolan is not a technical player. Under the pressure of the second player, his speed had to slow down. This also caused the entire Piacenza frontcourt to slow down.

Then, before he could get rid of the defender in front of him cleanly, Nainggolan faced the back-defense of the first player he passed. In an instant, he was left and right, and he could no longer protect the ball at his feet.

After a forced attempt to score the ball failed, the ball was intercepted by a Chievo player.

With all five Piacenza players in their own half, Chievo quickly launched a counterattack. As the player who stole the ball passed the ball to the wide players, the situation on the field instantly changed from slow to fast.

In a two-on-one match, the Chievo left player directly passed Scarpelli who was rushing through the tacit pass with Pellisier in the center. Then he came to the right area outside the penalty area to face Pioneer.

As Acenza's right back, he chose an inverted triangle pass.

The ball was passed diagonally from the lower right corner of Piacenza's half to the front of the penalty area. Pelissier used Gadri behind him to remove the ball, then stabbed it into the penalty area with his left foot.

Pellissier is not a talented forward, and his goals are rarely included in highlights, but this does not affect him from becoming a striker with high scoring efficiency. In his football philosophy, a shot is a shot, no matter what

What extra performances are needed.

He thought this way and did so. His minimalist style has resulted in him ranking first in the Serie B scorer list. At this moment, when Pellissier entered the penalty area, he directly chose to shoot.

The ball passed by the toes of Gadri, who was trying to block the ball with his legs behind him, and then passed the goalkeeper Maulan Tanho, who had already saved his entire body, and rolled into the goal close to the right post.

"Oh oh oh oh!!! Sergio! Sergio! Sergio!"

Chievo fans began to chant the name of their new captain rhythmically. This player who was in his prime, but after the team was relegated, faced invitations from other Serie A teams and decided to play with the team in Serie B. He has already

Became Chievo's new favorite.

In the 30th minute of the game, Chievo 1:0 Piacenza!

This goal did not break the overall momentum of the Piacenza team. After a brief discussion, the players continued to fight. However, the reality they faced in the following time made them a little at a loss.

It must be at this moment that Carney truly understood how important a sharp knife is to the team.

With Giuseppe Iachini constantly directing and maneuvering from the sidelines, Chievo showed Piacenza what an iron wall is. Whether it was Nainggolan's long shot or Cassia's header, Chievo's defenders

Defend to death.

Iachini, who has a lot of experience in Italy's chain defense, taught the new head coach Carni a good lesson.

Obviously some of Chievo's players are not as capable as Piacenza's offensive players, but through team cooperation and the help of core players, they can always strangle Piacenza's offense in the cradle.

The game time also passed quietly in this state.

Piacenza tried to find a breakthrough from Chievo's defense, but failed countless times. The situation still did not improve after the halftime break. Instead, Chievo stole the ball and counterattacked after several defenses, repeatedly threatening Piacenza.

Cinza Gate.

If veteran Lorenzo hadn't performed well in this game and completed several rescue operations in front of the goal, Piacenza would never have conceded one goal.

"It's clear that Piacenza is in trouble."

During the commentary, Fabio frowned and looked at the situation on the field. At this time, the game time had reached sixty minutes, and Piacenza's offense still showed no improvement: "They can't always rely on Lorenzo's long performances.

, if we can’t break the situation as soon as possible, losing is almost certain.”

On the court, in the past sixty minutes, there is no doubt that Lorenzo has been the most active player in Piacenza's defense. At this moment, he has been sweating countless times to fill holes for inexperienced young defenders.

However, he did not show any tired expression in front of his teammates, but still showed an energetic look, shouting loudly for his teammates to cheer up.

In addition, Lorenzo also actively moves forward in every attack he can participate in, trying to help the team have more changes in offense.

Although he has reached the age of retirement, Lorenzo, who was sold by the club, is still full of desire to prove himself when facing his old club again.

Even though I am old, my strength is still there. I want to prove to you that selling me will be your loss.

In the 70th minute of the game, Piacenza got a right corner kick opportunity in another attack.

In terms of set kicks, Chievo's defensive players were not worried and even relaxed a little when they saw the temperless Cassia who had been guarded by Sado and the Padalino who never got the ball in front of the defenders.

So, they were distracted.

When the ball was kicked out by Scarpelli and drew an inward arc in the air and flew into the small penalty area, Lorenzo, wearing the No. 3 jersey, rushed in from outside the penalty area.

With no one following him and no one interfering, Lorenzo was at the edge of the small penalty area and took the lead in hitting the ball under Sado's surprised eyes. What surprised him was also Chievo's goalkeeper.

"Boom!"

The ball hit the inside edge of the crossbar and bounced into the goal.

As an old man, his ambition is to reach a thousand miles; as a martyr, in his old age, his ambition is endless.

Chievo's old player Lorenzo helped his new club score the key goal to equalize the score at the Bentegoti Stadium where he had spent eleven springs, summers, autumns, and winters. After scoring, he did not celebrate, but his eyes were red.

Kissed the turf of this stadium.
