This season, when Piacenza returned to Serie A as a newly promoted team, which had been away from many years, almost no one would believe that Piacenza could occupy the top four in Serie A after half a season.

However, the fact happened like this. This team, which was estimated to be difficult to relegate at the beginning of the game, burst out with extraordinary strength and became the only super dark horse in the five major leagues this season. Piacenza's record was even better than Juventus, who had just been promoted from Serie B after experiencing the phone door.

When the last game of the winter break ended, Piacenza won a 3-0 home victory and saved the fourth place position, some bold predictions about Piacenza's ranking at the end of the season also emerged, including many speculations that Piacenza is expected to enter the European war.

Note that this is the European game, which means that although Piacenza is still ranked fourth in the league and is a good place in the Champions League, people are still not optimistic about the team's current position at the end of the season.

Because the five major leagues have produced many dark horses over the years, people have also placed high hopes for them. However, when the league reaches the last third schedule, none of these dark horses can withstand the final pressure. After being able to figure out the team's playing style by the opponents, these dark horse teams will have an extremely rapid ranking period in the end and finally return to their position.

If it weren't for the emergence of several young geniuses in the dark horse team of Piacenza who were recognized as top players by major professional media, those authoritative figures who gave the estimate would have to lower their speculation on Piacenza's performance by several levels.

Therefore, after being included in the sports lottery, Piacenza's most reasonable ranking was set to sixth place, a position that missed the Champions League but had the right to participate directly in the Europa League.

However, these predictions changed again after Piacenza's soul figure Liu Feng publicly announced the team's goals for the season for the first time. Liu Feng has always been famous for being modest and polite in media interviews, which made Italian fans also love this Chinese player very much. But this time he told the team's goal without hesitation.

So whether Piacenza prepared some secret weapons or any special style of play did not appear in Piacenza's previous games? For a time, the media had different opinions, and some media who were good at fabricating themselves took action to write one possible tactical evolution after another for Piacenza.

At this time, Liu Feng and Piacenza's team had already re-entered the new round of training. As soon as the holiday ended, Conte did not talk about a day off after the team won, but the training event was mainly arranged the day after the game.

After the captain revealed the team's ambitious goals to the outside, the team's players were all excited in training. This young man who set a series of records in his first Serie A was very serious about carrying out various training programs arranged by Conte.

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, but at least you must have enough strength, otherwise what you say cannot be realized, and you will lose more than one person, but the face of the entire team. After all, the thing that was ridiculed by a group of people in the football world has not happened.

Therefore, no matter how the outside world discusses this, Piacenza has become a heart-to-heart and devoted himself to training.

Time passed without realizing it, and soon came the day before the 19th round of the Serie A.

On this day, Conte once again summoned the players in advance to announce the roster. Tomorrow they will play at home against Genoa who came to challenge. Whether the words they said can be fulfilled properly will start from this game.

The lineup arranged by Conte in this round of the league is not much different from the previous game. It was just that Cassia, who was in better form in training, was replaced by the team's new player Vitale for the first time in the center position.

Wolfre, who was replaced by Vitale, was on standby on the team's bench. Conte did not make any adjustments in other positions and continued the arrangements for the last game.

So, with the ready-to-play player of Piacenza, the 19th round of Serie A officially began.

In this game, Piacenza's opponent was not a weak team, but had accumulated strength and made a lot of money and started to catch up silently since the middle of the first half of the season. Finally, he finally reached the fifth place in the league after the last round of the league, only two points away from Piacenza, who was above it.

Yes, although Piacenza has lost quite a few games so far, she cannot withstand too many draws, which leads to the fact that although the record is good, the points are not advantageous.

So after Piacenza announced in the media that the team's goal is to hold the fourth place in the Champions League this season, it has become a key battle to defend the fierce Genoa. Whether it is a blind boast or a real skill, it is a real move in this game.

Under everyone's expectation, time soon came the next day. The game, which started at 10 pm Beijing time, has reached the countdown before the start of the game. Both teams have finished the warm-up session on the court and are waiting for entry in their respective locker rooms.

"Friends, this game is another strong showdown. Piacenza will play against Genoa, a veteran Serie A team, at home. They are now ranked fourth and fifth in the league."

Liu Jianhong, who appeared in the commentary room early, has begun to mobilize the atmosphere of the fans. Like countless fans who were standing in front of the TV, he looks forward to Piacenza's performance after announcing his ambitions. Unlike those media that are not optimistic about Piacenza, he naturally stands firmly on Piacenza's side with full confidence in Liu Feng.

"Okay, now the referee has led two teams into the court!"

...

"Shh!!!"

On the court, after the two teams quickly stood up, the referee blew the whistle to start the game, and the game officially kicked off.

Liu Feng, who won the captain's rock-scissors, directly chose the kick-off. Piacenza took the initiative from the beginning and controlled the ball firmly under his feet. After pulling out the entire Genoa team players, they started the team's first offense.

This was an offense that quickly transitioned from Piacenza to the frontcourt. Every player in excellent condition did a perfect job in this offense. The ball quickly came to the threat area without any pause.
Chapter completed!
