Chapter fifty-ninth rare opportunity
During midfield time, after Conte's five consecutive hair dryer training, half of the players in the team's starting lineup lowered their heads in shame, and the others who were not criticized by names also lowered their heads and dared not speak.
"Okay! Your question is clear, listen to me now."
With a wave of his hand, just venting his stomach's dissatisfaction with the players' performance on the court, Conte began to speak out his arrangement: "In the second half, everyone cheered me up. Maybe you are in a bad state, but I want to see your enthusiasm."
In fact, what good way can Conte have? Bad players' condition has always been a multifaceted factor, and it is definitely not just a matter of enthusiasm.
Just like some forwards who have not scored goals in many games, don’t they want to score goals when they play on the court? Obviously not.
A player's poor condition is reflected in many aspects. The forward is mostly reflected in the worsening of shooting, the midfield is reflected in the passing and receiving errors, and the defender is mostly reflected in the difficulty of concentration.
In addition to unpredictable factors, if the player himself can deal with this situation with more positive emotions on the court, he can still do nothing and be wrong.
Therefore, the first requirement Conte's kick for the players is very simple, and his mentality is correct.
What the five-minute hair dryer needs is to arouse the attention of the players. The team has already slacked off after the six rounds of unbeaten. Even Conte himself started preparing with a relaxed attitude before this game, but was caught off guard.
The sequelae of change caused by the International Game Week cannot be solved by a midfielder. Conte no longer expects to win this game in his heart. What he is thinking now is how to avoid losing points at his home court.
"Padalino, you replace Antonio in the second half."
With a wave of his hand, Conte first replaced Nocerino, whose performance in the first half, which was a disaster. The young player who was called into the national team for the first time obviously overdrawed too much energy during the national team.
Two days after returning to the team, Nocerino was able to complete the training task perfectly with the excitement of being called into the national team, but in this game, his overdrafted state finally showed.
"Okay." Padalino, who was sitting beside him, didn't expect that he would get the chance to play in half, so he nodded and agreed.
As for Nocerino, he also knew how bad his performance in the first half was. After Conte made the arrangement, he didn't say anything, just lowered his head and remained silent.
"Our next formation will be 442. After Padalino comes on the court, he will play on the left forward. Remember, your defensive task is countless times heavier than the offense. I need you and Feng to control the ball and reduce Udinese's possession time."
"Razha, Marchisio, you two are closer to the midfield position. Our formation needs to be compressed, so don't give the opponent's forward a chance to run."
"OK."
Conte was busy arranging various changes to the team. He knew very well that the team's continued 451 formation could stabilize the situation, but it also meant that the team's offense would be completely paralyzed, which was naturally something he didn't want to see.
It feels difficult to win, but it is another thing to give up the game altogether. Conte's approach is to flatten the team's formation and narrow the players' positions.
In this way, even if one player makes a mistake, other players can save it in time.
When the 442 formation really gets the opportunity to attack, it can quickly transform into 424. The arrangement of four offensive players is enough to pose a threat to Udinese's goal.
"Okay, this is our home court. If you are willing to let our fans see a failure at their doorstep, then sleepwalking on the court!!!"
"I don't want to!!!"
In the last sentence, Conte retorted the players again, and then signaled Liu Feng to lead the team to the stadium.
Everything that should be done is done. Under such a tactical system, although Piacenza relies on defense, he may not have no chance at all. Whether the situation can be changed can only be seen depending on what kind of performance the players will perform on the court.
"Welcome to come back, everyone."
In the commentary, Liu Jianhong analyzed the situation for a while in the midfield with the data and electronic animations compiled by the staff and entered the advertisement. Now he has just received it: "The second half of the game will start soon, and Piacenza should make major changes."
Soon, the players of both teams stood on the court again. After the kick-off again, Piacenza's changes were clearly revealed in people's eyes.
"Oh~, Nocerino, who performed in the disaster in the first half, was replaced directly."
Looking at Piacenza's new formation, Liu Jianhong nodded: "Conte is very decisive. In addition to replacing bad players, he also fine-tuned the team's formation. A Feng and Cassia have regained their double strikers. It seems that Piacenza does not intend to give up this game."
In the second half, Udinese took the lead in the kick-off. Wuji was obviously not satisfied with the situation of pressing against Piacenza in the first half, so he began to suppress Piacenza again at the first moment after the start of the second half.
After the Piacenza's players were given a lecture at Conte's intermission, the sluggish state on the field was very different. Under Udinese's first wave of violent attacks, they directly pushed down this time.
Not only that, Padalino, who had just been replaced, seemed quite active. After Naingran lost the pass space through his body position, he directly inserted a kick from the slant and broke the ball.
Then Padalino was in danger when facing Qualiarela who was snatching the ball, and directly threw him away with a simple change of direction and successfully distributed the ball to Casia in the middle of the field.
As one of the few players who performed well in Piacenza this time, Cassia did not disappoint his teammates. After resisting Udinese's midfielder who was responsible for defending him, he easily controlled the ball under his feet.
"maple!!!"
At four or five meters away from the top of the arc in front of the penalty area, Cassia immediately went to find Liu Feng after getting the ball. He had partnered with Liu Feng countless times and knew very well that finding Liu Feng when he had difficulties was definitely the best choice to help the team break the deadlock.
Seeing Liu Feng running from the right position while raising his hand, Cassia directly swept hard and stuffed the ball into Liu Feng's moving position, then turned around and ran towards the penalty area.
