Chapter 148 Victory
In the world football world, there are many teams that can complete the Jedi counterattack. In the history of major leagues and European competitions, many teams have staged such a drama.
Among them, the most famous one has the greatest impact is the story of Liverpool's Istanbul Night in the 2005 Champions League final, which was a miracle reversal of Milan. This game of a miracle reversal inspired countless teams for a time.
Of course, what we talked about today has nothing to do with Genoa, who was rubbing on the floor by Piacenza at this moment. After Liu Feng opened Genoa's door again on behalf of Piacenza in the 38th minute of the game, this team that has made steady progress in the recent rounds of the league is destined to stop today.
In the first half, although Piacenza did not continue to take advantage of the victory and score another goal, the suppressed formation of Genoa's team did not have any good offensive opportunities. In the only few times, Piacenza's defense line was directly strangled outside the threat range.
During the halftime break, the conversations between the head coaches of the two teams in the locker room were completely different. Conte simply mentioned a few points that the team needs to pay attention to to facilitate the players to rest and prepare for the second half of the game. On the other hand, Genoa coach Gasperini was furious directly in the locker room and was very dissatisfied with the team's performance.
Gasperini was obviously trying to reliably relied on hair dryer methods to cheer up the players, at least not act like a defeated rooster after just halftime without fighting spirit. Unfortunately, hair dryer tactics are originally a means of combining various factors.
In addition to the head coach having absolute prestige in the team, the players themselves must be able to actively respond to those exciting words, so that they can be effective.
At this time of this game, Gasperini, who has coached Genoa for more than two years and led the team to the top in his first season, has enough prestige, but his players have been completely shocked by Piacenza's two-fold impact.
Although several main players of the team showed anger to reverse the game due to the coach's face, they didn't know what they thought.
Soon, the second half continued, and the players of the two teams also stood on the field again after exchanging the venue.
Then, under Gasperini's eager anticipation, Genoa's players completely let go just ten minutes after the second half, so those who were looking forward to Genoa's reversal were given up.
Genoa held the kick-off in the second half. Since Piacenza did not show off as much as in the first half after the kick-off, Genoa chose to control the rhythm in his own half.
However, their opponents were obviously unwilling to let them do what they wanted. After Conte shouted loudly on the sidelines, three forward players of Piacenza and two powerful players in the midfield all passed the half. In the second half, Nocerino was transferred by Conte from the back to the front midfielder parallel to Naingran, obviously trying to end the suspense of the game completely in advance.
And the final result was that he got what he wanted.
In the 52nd minute of the game, Piacenza's crazy struggle in the frontcourt gained results. With the Genoa midfielder shaking under the relentless pursuit of Piacenza's players, Nocerino broke the ball that Genoa midfielder tried to send forward with a tackle.
Then, Nocerino, who had stood up, threw the ball to Cassia who ran forward without stopping with his hands raised to Marcorosi. Cassia still managed the ball smoothly under the interference of Marcorosi. Then he scored the ball to the left and continued to penetrate the ball to the middle without the ball. The ball rolled towards the position where Liu Feng was.
Since Liu Feng and Mesto had already arrived at the left side near the sideline in the entanglement, when Cassia split the ball over, it was difficult for Liu Feng, who was disturbed by the opponent who was pulling and pulling on his side, to take the ball and cut in this time.
So he simply chose not to control the ball.
"Bang!" He took the lead in facing the ball that Cassia was assigned. Before Mesto continued to interfere with the next step, Liu Feng stood up with his right foot and swung it hard. He directly made a 45-degree cross in the frontcourt. The ball flew towards Genoa's penalty area.
This is a cross with a perfect arc. Whether it is the arc or height, it is very suitable for Cassia who jumps high into the penalty area, let alone Cassia's heading ability is so outstanding.
"Bang!"
A clean and neat Lion's header was scored and a perfect header was scored.
Piacenza 3:0.
The competition ended early.
After another carnival storm caused by Piacenza fans, the rest of the game became a real garbage time. Conte replaced the team's two new players sitting on the bench in turn and the central defender Tonucci who stayed in the team's cleaning in the winter window in turn.
Gasperini was already disappointed and sat in the coach's seat with his face covered, and the remaining matches were completed under the command of his assistant coach.
In the end, after one-minute injury time, the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game. At the last moment, the entire Genoa team, who was still bombarded by the Piacenza team, felt relieved.
This game also ended with Piacenza's three-goal victory over Genoa.
Piacenza also proved to everyone with this straightforward victory that their goal of entering the Champions League was not to joke, and Liu Feng, who directly gave two assists in this game, also proved to people that his words that he wanted to win more than the Golden Boot were not hypocritical words in some people.
Of course, Liu Feng, who scored another goal in this game, is still the first in the scorer list. Some bold media have begun to speculate that Liu Feng’s real goal is to have both a Champions League place and a Golden Boot.
In short, news about Liu Feng and Piacenza once again swept the Italian mainland after this game, and also had a place in some world-class sports newspapers.
As for the popularity of this team in China, let alone it be said that on the second day, all the front pages of Chinese sports media were news that Liu Feng scored one shot and made a second pass, Piacenza beat Genoa three goals.
It has to be said that this team that has only been back to Serie A after many years has won the attention that many clubs that have been in the top league for many years have not won.
Perhaps, this is also a kind of accumulation of momentum. If Piacenza could continue like this, it is still unknown what the future will be, right?
