In the afternoon of the same day, the players of Piacenza gathered at the training base again. Under Conte's leadership, the players underwent a simple restorative training, and a group of people spent the afternoon talking and laughing.

Starting tomorrow, they will continue to prepare for the away game against Naples six days later. The league is about to enter the winter break, and it is obvious that some fatigue can be seen in the players, which is difficult to avoid.

After the afternoon training, the players dispersed and left the training base. Conte sat alone in the office and looked at the latest physical conditions of the players sent to him by the team doctor. He frowned while watching. According to the team doctor, various hidden dangers have appeared in the bodies of many players in the team.

Sitting at the desk, Conte frowned and looked at the information in his hand. Although he had been rotating several times since the start of the league, in the end, he could only rely on those main players to stabilize the team's performance.

It can be said that Piacenza is now ranked among the top three in Serie A with amazing results, and a large part of it is achieved by squeezing the potential and physical fitness of the current main players.

Conte put down the information in his hand and rubbed his forehead. He kept a very cautious attitude in his heart to use his young players, but even so, he also understood that Piacenza was not far from returning to his original trajectory.

It can be foreseen that in the second half of the season, after the momentum of entering Serie A was exhausted and other teams began to grasp more detailed information about Piacenza, Piacenza was about to enter the original track, which was also the track that a team of newly promoted teams should take.

Before this, Conte still had to focus on the last two games in front of the winter window, such as Napoli, which will be challenged away in a week.

Naples Club is the fourth-most fan base among the many clubs in Serie A, second only to Milan's two-star club and Juventus. When he was awarded the Serie A's exclusive World Cup honor at the end of the last century, Argentine's football king Maradona was the most shining star in this team.

In the history of Naples, the myth of Maradona leading the team to win twice with his own strength is still the most talked about legend of this team.

However, after entering the 21st century, the team suffered setbacks. In August 2004, due to economic factors, the Naples Club directly declared bankruptcy and was ordered to be relegated, and the team had to start in the Division C next season.

It was not until the 2006-2007 season that it was second in Serie A. Napoli, after entering Serie A, performed very much like Piacenza today, and he qualified for the UEFA Cup in his first season after entering Serie A.

This team's performance in the Europa League has not disappointed its reputation in Serie A. It won consecutive games in the Europa League group stages. At the same time, it also performed well in Serie A. Now it is ranked behind Piacenza by two points.

After the draw with Juventus in the last round of the league, Piacenza was still in the third place in the league, while Napoli easily defeated his opponent and narrowed the distance with Piacenza. In this round, the entire Napoli team was ready to squeeze Piacenza out of the top three.

In this team, it is quite similar to Piacenza, and there are also a group of young talents with potential, among which Hamsik is the most famous.

Since joining the team in 2007, this tough guy player from Czechoslovakia has seen a Rocket-like increase in strength. Now at the age of 21, he has firmly held the main position of the team's midfielder. Like Naingran of Piacenza, this tough guy player also takes the B2B midfielder path.

Due to the similar styles, the two were often compared by the media this season. However, with their performance since the start of the game, Hamsik's performance has obviously surpassed Naingran, but this is also related to the fact that the firing power in Piacenza is largely concentrated on Liu Feng.

In the central defender position, there is also the most successful Italian central defender, Paul Cannavaro, the younger brother of Italy. Cannavaro Jr. has grown rapidly in Naples in recent years and is now a powerful player in Serie A.

In other positions, players such as Hofer, Rulo, and Marco can also be called powerful players in their respective positions. Each of these players has made great contributions to Napoli's current fourth place in Serie A.

Therefore, the next game is undoubtedly a tough battle against Juventus for Piacenza, not to mention the away game.

You know, Napoli's home court is one of the few devils in Serie A.

Conte thought about the tactical disgust against Napoli next, and it seemed a bit troublesome. His players had just passed the tough game with Juventus until the last second, and it was really difficult to challenge Napoli, who was in the home court away.

"Forget it, one step is one step."

Thinking at the desk for a long time, Conte stood up on the table. At this point, he had no good idea. After all, there is no such thing as a use in the world that can make the players full of their state. All Conte can do as a head coach is to try to prepare the players for this game.

Develop the most appropriate tactics and choose the best candidates. This is everything Conte can do. As for the rest, let it be left to the team members.

The next day, the players gathered again, and Conte began to arrange training, and it was still targeted training and personal guidance from various positions. Conte, a former world-class player, did a very good job in this regard.

The players naturally had great trust in the coach in training, and during the training, Piacenza finally suffered injuries.

First, Marcisio suffered a slight thigh strain during long pass training, and then Flocari directly suffered an ankle sprain after falling to the ground during the training match. Piacenza's good physical condition has been concentrated in this week's training.

Finally, on the day before the game, five injured players were handed over to Conte, two main players, Flokari, Marchisio, and Wolfre, and two main substitutes, Tonucci and Foggia, all of whom had injuries.

Fortunately, their injuries were all minor and they could recover in one to two weeks of cultivation, so it was not particularly unacceptable, but they would definitely not be able to play against Napoli in the next round.
