Chapter 116: The midfielder loses power
On the morning of the morning, Piacenza had breakfast in the hotel restaurant where she checked in, and then took a bus to the home stadium of Sao Paulo in Naples.
Since the morning, fans have been added to the Sao Paulo Stadium, and the Naples team members have already warmed up on the court. When Piacenza arrived, Naples' warm-up has come to an end.
Piacenza, who was warming up into the stadium and Napoli players who were returning to the locker room passed by the player passage. The two teams looked at each other with a challenging look.
As the team of newly promoted teams with great momentum last season, Naples' players are obviously very interested in trying Piacenza, a newly promoted team who performed well in the new season. Piacenza showed his intention to fight after feeling the hostility of the other party.
In short, the silent confrontation between the two teams directly set the tone for the game. The hostility between the two sides was brewing from the beginning. This feeling became even stronger after the diehard fans of the Piacenza players entered the south stand behind the stadium booed loudly.
"Shit! It's really annoying."
Naples' die-hard fans are famous throughout Serie A. They are known for their radical and fearless style. They are frightened by many teams who come to challenge at the Sao Paulo Stadium. Although there is still some time before the game begins, these fans have begun to play their roles.
At least, Cassia, who was training to shoot, was upset by the huge booing of Napoli fans after every missed shot. This also caused him to shoot at the right time and the more he shot, the louder the booing. In the end, the booing turned into a ruthless ridicule.
"Haha, look at that silly guy. This kind of shooting technique can still play forward position?"
With cheerful laughter from the Naples fan group, Cassia turned around and gave up the warm-up for shooting training. It was not until Liu Feng walked to him and persuaded him for a few words that he recovered from this irrational state.
In fact, Liu Feng's words mean very simple, that is, if you are disgusted with the boos of the fans, then just use the goal to hit them in the face. This can be said to be the most effective and simple solution.
Soon, Piacenza's warm-up was completed, and the whole team walked towards the locker room under Conte's leadership, where Conte would emphasize the team's tactics for the last time and give the team a last pre-war motivation.
In this game, Piacenza's formation and tactical drills were almost the same as those in training at his own field. Conte didn't say anything more. He spent more time stimulating the players' state.
Until the warm-up just now, the state shown by some players of the team still did not satisfy Conte, but at this time there was no good solution. Conte could only hope that his speech could arouse the fighting spirit of the players.
"We finally tied Juventus in the last game to keep the third place, so we must not let Napoli take him away from us easily. You should understand better than me how to play in this game!"
"And you also feel the hostility of those fans towards us. If you want them to continue to be arrogant, you can easily deal with this game. If not, then I will cheer me up with a hundred thousand points!"
...
Continuously speaking words that could stimulate the players' spirits, Conte finally stopped talking. After the staff knocked on the door of the team's locker room, he waved his hand: "Okay, boys, now, go and bring the victory home!"
"roar!"
With a roar, the whole team set off, captain Liu Feng took the lead, and vice captain Maurantano followed the team at the rear. Piacenza quickly met Naples in the player channel. It was obvious that the coach of Naples also performed similar stimulation to Conte. At this moment, in the narrow passage, you can easily feel the strong fighting spirit shown by the players of the two teams.
"CCTV! CCTV! Hello everyone, welcome to the 16th round of the Serie A League Naples' home game against Piacenza. I am commentator Liu Jianhong."
As the two teams walked out of the player channel, CCTV's signal was officially connected, and the old face Liu Jianhong in the eyes of the fans also officially appeared. Although it was three o'clock in the morning, there were obviously still many hard-core fans paying attention to the game between Piacenza and Liu Feng.
"We can see that the two teams have completed the captain's rock-scissors. Oh, Naples, who won the rock-scissors, chose to serve. This team that is extremely good at capturing fighter jets obviously wants to take the rhythm into its own hands from the beginning."
With the service and the half-time selection, the players of both teams stood in their respective positions, and with a long whistle sounding, the game officially kicked off.
"Okay, the game has officially begun. Let me introduce the starting lineup of the two teams to you..."
After the kickoff, Napoli center Hofer directly pushed the ball to his partner Esecchier Ravizi. After getting the ball, Ravizi passed the ball to Hamsik in the team's midfielder, and then ran in both directions of Piacenza's halftime.
That's right, the formation that Naples lined up in this game is the same as Piacenza's 442 formation. Hamsik, who has performed well since the new season, was even arranged by the coach to take the core task of the midfield offensive. In this way, he became a match with Piacenza's Naingran, and the two strong players soon strangled together in the midfield.
"In the fierce midfield battle, Naingran did not show much fatigue in the battle with Hamsik!"
After broadcasting the starting lineup of the two teams, Liu Jianhong began to follow the commentary game: "The head coaches of both teams put heavy troops in the midfield in this game, but Piacenza's backcourt organization core Marcisio was unable to appear due to injury factors. In this way, Piacenza's midfield quality is probably inferior to Napoli."
In fact, this is true. After Naingran and Hamsik briefly formed a pair on the court, substitute midfielder Tozka seemed completely out of the opponent in a matchup with another Naples midfielder Gargano.
Gargano, who is better than Tozka in both strength and experience, took on the task of controlling the ball in the Napoli midfield after Hamsik and Naingran competed with each other. When facing Tozka's fight, he seemed at ease in every dealing with it and soon led the team to control the midfield situation.
As Piacenza lost power in the midfield, a series of chain reactions also occurred one after another. First, Hamsik failed to grab the Tozka and was then bypassed Naingrain and ran towards Piacenza's half. Then two Naples' strikers also began to run back and forth in Piacenza's half.
For a moment, the situation in Piacenza began to appear in danger.
Chapter completed!
