Chapter 163 Foul tactics
On the court, the celebrations of Piacenza's players were not as mediocre as fans. As soon as the goal was scored, Cassia rushed towards Liu Feng, who gave him the assist. The two had a passionate collision in the penalty area of Chivo.
Afterwards, Liu Feng and Cassia ran towards their teammates behind them with Aubameyang, who was also near the penalty area. A group of young people wearing red Piacenza jerseys sang and danced in the center of the venue to cheer for the team's final breaking Chivo's shot.
There is no way, this game is really unlucky in the eyes of Piacenza players. They had several opportunities to change the situation in the first half, but were always rejected by various unexpected situations, which made everyone feel a little gloomy about whether this game can be won.
At this moment, the team finally scored its first goal, and the depression in the players disappeared in an instant. As Conte said, luck cannot always work in the face of absolute strength.
"We can see that the celebrations of the Piacenza players are very enthusiastic. I believe that the goal that finally scored will greatly improve the morale of the team."
During the commentary, Liu Jianhong calmed down after the initial excitement. He looked at the Piacenza players in the camera with a smile. He also felt relieved in his heart: "Oh~, Chivo's coach Di Carlo directly called the two substitute players to warm up. It seems that he is going to make adjustments."
Di Carlo was very angry when the team's goal was broken. He believed that the team should not ruin the advantage he had finally achieved, but looking at the replay on the court, he had to admit that several of his team's defensive players had done well in this defense.
Perhaps, against that Chinese player, all he can do is to play more defensive players to increase the defensive thickness of his team.
He did it as he said, Di Carlo had already seen this game that if it weren't for luck, his team wouldn't be Piacenza's opponent at all, so after the opponent equalized the score, he had no desire for victory.
In the previous two rounds of the league, the team was almost beaten by the opponent and didn't even score a goal, so in the end, they didn't even get a single point.
In this game, DiCarlo finally saw hope of getting points again. For Chivo, who is struggling on the relegation line, a point is a very precious thing, so compared to standing and dying, DiCarlo finally chose to live on his knees.
In the 55th minute of the game, both sides stood in front of the kick-off point again, and the Chivo team made a large-scale adjustment.
Di Carlo first took down a full-back and replaced it with a defensive midfielder, then moved another full-back who was left on the court back, moved it to the midfield position and gave him the task of participating in the defense.
Immediately afterwards, DiCarlo replaced the right back who was completely defeated by Liu Feng on the wing and replaced a new full-back Scardina. In the next game, he will be responsible for marking Liu Feng with the team's right center back Mandelli.
After such adjustments, the formation on Chievo's field and the 433 at the beginning changed greatly, and directly changed from an offensive formation to a 451 that focuses on defense and rapid counterattack. Di Carlo's idea is very simple, that is, to hold a point at home.
"Dicarlo is very decisive. The Chevo team made a choice after the equalization of Piacenza. They want to keep a point at their home court."
Liu Jianhong frowned after the formation diagram given by the director changed drastically. As a fan, he was very reluctant to see the ugly bus offensive and defensive battle. However, as a commentator, he agreed with coach Chievo's decisiveness from the perspective of the coach.
In this game, the hard strength of the two teams was not at the same level at all. At this moment, Piacenza was obviously becoming more and more courageous when he continued to fight against his opponents. The best result for the Chevo team would be to die standing and usher in the team's three consecutive losses. This is obviously unacceptable for a team that is only one away from the relegation zone.
“shit!”
On the sidelines, Conte quickly discovered Chivo's adjustment after re-telebrating. He was very unhappy with DiCarlo who admitted defeat, but he had no choice.
This is not the first time Piacenza has faced his opponent's bus tactics. In the last round of the league match against Turin, they had just been disgusted by their opponents. Unexpectedly, Feilu, who has always been self-reliant and only played offensive football, also began to play buses, which is obviously quite unfavorable for the team to overtake the score and win.
In fact, it was precisely because after the 55th minute of the game, the situation on the court was officially in a quagmire. Piacenza's offense began to be blocked by the Chivo team again and again with destructive defense, and the game time passed by bit by bit.
In the end, the Chivo team almost defended the defense. Pelicier, the forward who was left in the frontcourt as a symbolic threat, retreated to the midfield to help his teammates defend. The entire Chivo halftime was crowded with people.
At this time, Piacenza's offense could no longer match smoothly. They could only keep passing the ball to players with outstanding personal abilities, hoping that they would change the situation with their own inspiration, so Liu Feng became the busiest person on the court during this period.
At the beginning, Liu Feng still got the ball in the middle of the wing, but under the foul defense of the full-back Scardina, who was replaced by Chivoxun, his offense was destroyed by the opponent using unconventional means several times, so he could only be forced to get the ball in the back.
In the 65th minute of the game, Conte also made adjustments based on the situation on the court, replacing Aubameyang, who had no room for speed up on the right side, and he adjusted the team's formation to 442. Liu Feng returned to the position behind Cassia as the shadow striker, which finally gave him comfortable room to get the ball.
However, this is not far enough. A team, a team that relegates, is definitely a tough guy when it is desperate to get points.
Chewo's players began to frequently block Liu Feng who took the ball in the midfield. In order to prevent Liu Feng from creating opportunities with his outstanding ability, they directly adopted foul tactics. Six midfielders directly rotated to foul Liu Feng, constantly pulling Liu Feng who had already broken through the past.
In the end, at the cost of three players carrying yellow cards, the Chiwo team successfully delayed the time to injury stoppage time.
Of course, this tactic should have attracted countless infamous reputation for Fei Du. On the Internet, whether it is domestic or foreign fans, all the people who are watching this game expressed disdain for the rogue behavior of Chievo.
And in Tieba, a netizen's weak speech made the angry fans feel even more painful.
