Chapter one hundred and sixty-six expedition again

Piacenza won four consecutive victories, which is not particularly surprising.

Because as early as the winter break, some media pointed out after taking stock of the opponents of each team after the start of the second half of the season that if Piacenza ranked fourth in the league, then the team is very likely to achieve good results in the first five rounds after the start of the second half of the season.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Piacenza, who has been constantly attacking his opponent with passion and enthusiasm, can continue to maintain a good state.

Now, reality has proved that Piacenza is indeed not as weak as other teams that have only been strong for half a season. They have won four opponents one after another after the start of the second half of the season, and are moving towards five consecutive victories with a rainbow of morale.

Due to the schedule of Serie A, the interval between the 22nd and 21st rounds of the league is very short.

After the end of the match against Chivo, Piacenza only had two days to train, and then went to Siena to challenge the only local A-level team, Siena. This team ranked 14th in the league after this round of matches, and was still quite different from Piacenza, who successfully surpassed Juventus in the standings and came to third place in the league after winning Chivo.

For Piacenza, the only disadvantage of this round may be that after just challenging Chievo away, he was going to Siena to get on a journey.

However, on the Piacenza training ground, when Conte looked at the players who were completely exhausted, his heart calmed down. It was obvious that the morale boost brought by the four-game winning streak was at its peak, and the team was fully capable of challenging the five-game winning streak.

The two-day training time was really not long. In order to save time, Conte even practiced the tactics set against Siena once in the team's training, and then it came the day before the game began.

On this day, Conte did not make any adjustments in the team's starting lineup. Since the players showed no sign of decline in their condition, the players who started in the last round will continue to get the starting chance in this round, and the team's formation is still 433.

After arranging tomorrow's lineup, Conte did not forget to give hope to other substitutes. He clearly told the players that if he could take the lead in tomorrow's game early, he would make substitutions as soon as possible to give substitutes more opportunities to play.

In this way, every player who went with the team naturally seemed eager to try, whether it was the starter or the substitute, and was secretly excited for the team's five consecutive victories that were most likely to come.

The next morning, all the team members gathered in the club parking lot. As the team bus swayed out of Piacenza, Piacenza began their journey to the away game again.

At the Frankie Stadium in Siena, this team with a very similar home uniform to the Zebras is warming up under the cheers of the home fans. The team's coach stood on the sidelines and directed the players meticulously, obviously very afraid of the upcoming Piacenza team.

After a while, with the sound of sharp booing, Piacenza players wearing white team uniforms also poured into the stadium from the player channel.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

In the away game, the biggest disadvantage is the slightest booing of more than 10,000 or 20,000 or 560,000 spectators. As players, everyone is still the most essential thing, and people will be affected by the external environment. When tens of thousands of people boo you together, no one can pat their chest and say that they will never be affected at all.

When you dribble on the court, you are booed; when you contribute great performance on the court, you are booed; when you make mistakes on the court, you are still booed; in this case, all the players can do is to try to eliminate external influences.

After more than half a season of hardship, the players of Piacenza have made great progress. Even Cassia, who is in a hot temper, only frowned when she entered the court, and no longer had the performance of losing control of her emotions in the previous game.

Conte stood on the sidelines and looked at the players who performed calmly and normally on the court. He was very satisfied. The young people under him used their performances in more than half a season to prove that each of them is a malleable talent.

Soon, the warm-up of the two teams was over. After a brief return to the locker room for repair, the staff of the stadium knocked on the doors of the two teams.

"Hello everyone in CCTV, CCTV!"

Familiar voices, familiar people, this match held at 10 o'clock in the evening of Beijing time once again brought extremely high ratings to CCTV-5, which broadcast the game live. After a brief trailer, Liu Jianhong's smiling face also appeared in the commentary room: "Welcome to the 22nd round of Serie A, Siena's home game against Piacenza, I am the commentator Liu Jianhong."

During the opening period of Liu Jianhong's remarks, the players of the two teams on the court had already stood up. The referee on duty simply calibrated the watch in his hand and then blew the whistle to the start of the game.

Liu Feng, who won the captain's rock-scissors, chose the kick-off right for the team. After hearing the whistle, he stood in front of the kick-off point and gently pushed the ball towards Cassia in front of him. After Cassia got the ball, he passed the ball directly to Naingran in the midfield, officially announcing the beginning of the game.

This time, at the beginning, Piacenza did not adopt the tactic of attack. Conte changed his tactics after the team won a series of victories in a fierce manner. At least at the beginning of this game, he set the team up with the tactics of controlling the ball and attacking.

So, at the beginning, the instant attack scene of Piacenza that fans were looking forward to did not appear, and the protagonist on the field also changed from Liu Feng who frequently appeared in the camera at the beginning to Piacenza's organizational core Marcisio.

Under the dispatch of Marchisio, Piacenza had been in control of the situation for the first thirty minutes. Although he accidentally lost the ball several times, under the pressure of the two tough guy combinations of Naingran and Nocerino, they quickly snatched the ball back.

Their opponent, Siena, who had been in a strict defense from the beginning, became very uncomfortable because of Piacenza's sudden change in playing style.

The head coach of this team, even Piacenza, is the power of the offensive line, so the tactic set for the team before the game is to counterattack. However, now Piacenza firmly controls the ball at his feet and attacks calmly, which has caused a lot of gaps for Siena players who are ready to be tense.

Finally, since the team did not touch the ball for ten minutes, Siena's old coach finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to adjust the team's tactics and formation.
