Chapter 19 Excited Piacenza
Scapelli's recovery speed after recovering from injury is amazing. He can already train with the team during the pre-match training camp.
Moreover, his performance in several training matches organized by the team was good.
So, in the first game of the league, he squeezed Gadri to the bench and served as the team's starting center back.
The long pass he passed at this time did not miss the level, and still maintained a very accurate level under Lorenzo's training last season.
Starting from the team's backcourt, the pass flew directly to the left after crossing the center line. That place was Liu Feng's coverage.
After stopping, Liu Feng faced the right winger Rosina who was robbing from Turin and easily got rid of the opponent, and then rushed on the left side of Turin like a fast horse.
However, soon, Liu Feng realized the difference between Serie A and Serie B. After he passed by Rosina, the speed of the Torino players' defense was amazingly fast.
At Liu Feng's speed, when he was a while away from Turin's right back Abat, he was the first to encounter Zoemeier who came from the middle.
Faced with the strong pressure exerted by the opponent, Liu Feng had to slow down, which also gave Abat the opportunity to arrange a second layer of defense.
Abate is also a player who was loaned to Milan this season. This talented fullback has a very accurate judgment of the position and is directly stuck on the path that Liu Feng must pass once he has successfully made a breakthrough.
What offensive players are most afraid of is undoubtedly a layered defense, because such defense gives defensive players an endless feeling.
Often when the first defensive player is overwhelmed against another player, the speed is suppressed, which leads to the previous player having enough time to catch up.
This cycle is repeated, as long as the defensive player keeps holding on, he has to choose to take the ball or be cut off after the forward's energy is exhausted.
Liu Feng obviously did not want to fall into such an unfavorable situation, so he gave up the idea of breaking through the defense line set up by the opponent from the beginning.
Under Zoe Mail's defense, Liu Feng directly plucked the ball and moved it with him. Then a rhythmic change was made and the ball bounced out of his feet with the outer instep of his right foot.
Flokari has been wandering in the middle. He knew in the training game that Liu Feng prefers breakthroughs against defensive players, so he didn't expect that this time Liu Feng's pass was really so decisive.
Of course, accidents are accidents, and this does not affect Flokari's handling of the pass.
After getting the ball in the middle, he resisted Pisano who was robbed and tried to go around the penalty area from the side of the defensive player.
I have to say that sometimes simple and direct methods are often more efficient on the field.
From the beginning, I didn't expect Liu Feng to pass the ball so decisively, and the players of the Turin were not expected to Flokari to break inward.
Flokari, who had been wiped into the penalty area, did not hesitate for a second, and then shot directly after reaching a certain angle.
However, Torino goalkeeper Serenie also performed very well. He judged the right direction based on his accumulated experience from countless games, and then used his fingertips to pull the ball into the right side of the goal.
Flokari hugged her head in annoyance after the ball was saved. It was obvious that it was difficult to accept this solution. He claimed that there was no problem with this shot.
He missed the team's first goal in Serie A, and seemed quite disappointed.
"Oh~, Piacenza completed a threatening ball within the goal frame after the first attack after the opening."
Liu Jianhong from the commentator kept exclaiming during Piacenza's beautiful attack.
Although Liu Feng's straightforward pass made it very likely that he would have performed again that several good shows had failed, he still had to admit that Liu Feng had no problem with his choice this time.
"Either the opportunity for A Feng to pass the ball or the opportunity for Flokari to turn and shoot the ball, they were very accurate."
In the audience seats on the side of the court, the Torino fan area was also exclaiming. If the team was mocked by them at the beginning of the game, then their face would be greatly lost.
The Piacenza fans who were expeditioning with the team were naturally very excited. The team almost had the first Serie A goal that had been away for a long time.
Piacenza's players' morale has been greatly improved after Flokari's shot.
Because this made them realize that their opponent was just a team. Whether it was a veteran Serie A team or a giant, on the court, both sides confronted each other and had no choice but to do whatever they wanted.
In the subsequent corner kick, Nainglan also scored a header in the penalty area, but unfortunately, with Pisano's interference, it was a pity that the goal was missed.
Although the ball did not go in, Piacenza became hotter and hotter afterwards. Compared to Turin, who began to become cautious, Piacenza, who had a big opening and closing, became the protagonist on the field.
The twenty minutes after the game turned into the exciting Piacenza performance, and for a moment, the Turin team's goal became in panic.
"It can be seen that the players of Piacenza are very excited, oh! Liu Feng, he and Abate competed with speed on the side!"
Liu Jianhong became Piacenza's full-time commentator in the next twenty minutes. It has to be said that under the arrangement of Conte's continuous switching formation of 433-424, the game was quite good.
After becoming a three forward this season, Liu Feng was placed on the wing position for the first time, but it was obvious that he was very adaptable to his new role in this game.
Conte arranged for him the position of the left side to retract, which means that he can retract inward and become a shadow striker when necessary, so his space for movement is much larger than that of the conventional left winger.
Often, Liu Feng would either get the ball from the side, one-on-one with Abate before Zoe Mel leaned over, or cut directly into the middle to face Zoe Mel and Pisano.
In the 35th minute of the game, Piacenza got a chance to counterattack quickly.
First, Aubameyang got the ball in his own midfield, and then after holding the ball and pushing for a distance, he passed the ball to Flokari under the blockade of the Turin midfield.
Flokari's performance on the court is still very professional. After observing Liu Feng's good position after getting the ball, he directly passed the ball straight to the empty space on the left without any pause.
At this time, because Abate had some good offensive ability, he played in the Turin system as a full-back.
This means that he has sufficient power to assist when the team attacks, but unfortunately this power has become a disaster at this time.
Flokari's straight pass through Abate's back in the empty Turin half.
Liu Feng rushed out the moment Flokari passed the ball, and he occupied a very advantageous position than Abate who turned around in a hurry.
Then the two rushed towards the Turin gate on the left.
