Chapter 26 Tactical Change
After being scored, the players of Chievo team had to cheer up.
Under the arrangement of head coach Di Carlo, the defensive players no longer play the whole game with the idea of staring at Liu Feng. Now their opponents have become more comprehensive and more powerful, and the shark-cutting tactics are no longer feasible.
It has to be said that the players in Chievo who can impress the national team coach to compete for the country are really strong. After the team concedes the ball, these players in poor condition still cheer up and sound the horn of counterattack.
Taking advantage of the obvious aggressive push of Piacenza, who scored a goal, the Chivo team made a long pass from the back midfield after intercepting the ball in the backcourt, which directly sounded the team's quick counterattack.
Chievo's core offensive character is undoubtedly their current captain and striker Pelicier.
With only three players staying in the backcourt of Piacenza, Pelicier got the ball under the interference of Marcisio. After he removed the ball, he drove Marcisio and inserted it into it.
The stay-attached Scapelli became the second line of defense in front of Pelicier, but Pelicier obviously had no idea of entanglement with him. He was about to approach Scapelli and directly divided the ball out.
Eljun Bogdani, who was connected to Pelicier from the right, became the perfect transit station for Chivo's offense. As Naingran approached behind him, he calmly cooperated with Pelicier with two and one.
Scapelli was directly matched by Chivo this time, and there was nothing to say about the frontcourt cooperation. At this time, the situation in the backcourt was originally three-to-two and Bogdani, which turned out to be a situation in which Pelicier and Bogdani, two-to-one Astori.
Astori is not a loss for being a young player produced in Milan. He did not feel nervous when facing the high-speed pressure from the two forwards, but slowly approached the recovery position as the opponent pressed.
In this two-on-one situation, the most taboo thing is the defensive player's rash moves, because once a judgment is wrong, it is very likely that the opponent will face the situation calmly.
However, it is not possible to be too hesitant at the same time. In Astori's case, constantly retreating means that the opponent is getting closer to the goal, and the closer to the goal, the greater the threat to the goal.
Looking at Astori who was cooperating with Maurantanho behind him who was constantly interlacing and increasing the defense area, Pelicier had no good idea for a moment. He chose to allocate the ball to Bogdani who had already followed him when he was about three meters away from Astori.
At this time, the Piacenza players who were chasing back behind them were getting closer and closer to them. Bogdani did not think too much about time about what to do next. After getting the ball, he subconsciously started to cooperate with Pelicier again with two and one.
Pelicier observed Astori's position and found that Bogdani's pass was not very good because Astori had enough time to try to block the connection between the two.
In this case, Pelicier could only grit his teeth and forcefully speed up again. Only when he hit the ball before Astori who rushed out could the goal be achieved.
As it turned out, Pelicier's choice was very correct. The time he rushed to the ball was almost the same as the time Astori touched the ball.
Astori had already achieved the ultimate he could do in this one-defense duel, but unfortunately, the moment he contacted Pelicier, he knew that he still lost.
Compared to Pelicier, whose body has grown to its peak, although Astori is 1.88 meters tall, his strength is three points lower than the opponent, which leads to him being unable to withstand the opponent in this fight of direct physical contact.
"Pelisier, he took Astori over and took a single shot!"
Liu Jianhong seemed passionate during the commentary game. In addition to being a hardcore fan of Liu Feng, he is also a professional commentator and will still use all his strength to tell the wonderful scenes on the court.
"Just shoot directly! The ball is in! In! In!"
Calmly scored this single goal, Pelicier helped Chivo tie the score less than ten minutes after conceding the ball. After scoring the goal, he hugged his teammates passionately and waved to Chivo fans who were expeditioning to Piacenza.
"Shit! I'm careless..."
On the sidelines, Conte, as the coach of Piacenza, cursed in a low voice. After the opponent directly tied the score, he realized that he and the players seemed too underestimated the opponent when they took the lead. They were not in good condition. What they should do was to waste their opponents to death.
"Retreat them all!"
Conte roared at the players who were slightly depressed by being tied quickly, and waved his hand to shout Naingran, who was closest to him: "Tell them that except for the offensive players, no one else is allowed to press so far."
"Okay coach." Nodded, Naingran quickly brought the news to the court, and for the rest of the first half, Piacenza also fully implemented Conte's arrangements.
Although he likes the change of formations from 433 to 424, Conte's ability to train defense is not bad at all. He has adopted various unique methods to train the team members' coordinated defense in his daily training, and these things played a role in this game.
Pelicier, who had already relied on one breath to try to defeat Piacenza's defense, completely lost the threat under such circumstances.
With the joint efforts of Nainglan, Marchisio and Scarpelli, he even couldn't even get the ball in the subsequent game, because as soon as he got the ball, he would soon fall into a melee battle with three tough guys.
And such hand-to-hand combat is very energy-consuming.
When the head coach blew the whistle at the end of the first half, Pelicier spread directly on the turf. Piacenza's focus on him made him almost unable to bear it. His embarrassing look was not like a hero who quickly helped the team equalize in the first half.
"Haha, Piacenza also played the shark-cutting tactic after Chievo scored. This team's tactics changed very timely."
Liu Jianhong also smiled when he saw this scene during the commentary: "Pelisier, who just represented the Italian national team, consumed a lot of money now. Judging from his appearance, it is a question whether he can play in the second half."
Look at Pelicier's exhausted appearance, and then look at the three young players of Piacenza's energy-filled appearance. The comparison is too obvious.
