Chapter 176: The King and the Loser
For a person, the most difficult thing to care about or even regret for life will always be the four words I could have, because the simple four words often mean another completely different life.
In fact, this principle is just as appropriate for the team, and it is even more appropriate for the Piacenza team at this moment.
When the ball was lying quietly in his goal, the Piacenza players were so complicated that they were hit unprecedentedly. They could not understand why the ball, which was supposed to be sent to Inter Milan goal thirty seconds ago, was lying in their own goal so quickly.
They could have scored this goal, and then they started to hit Inter Milan with the morale brought by the goal, but at this moment they fell behind two goals.
For a moment, in addition to Conte who covered his face on the sidelines, some of the players on Piacenza were also depressed, and they were completely defeated by Inter Milan's hurricane-like counterattack.
When the referee blew the whistle urging the players of both teams to return to their respective positions to prepare to continue the kick-off, the lagging Piacenza stood at a much slower pace than Inter Milan.
"Piacenza's morale has been devastating." During the commentary, Liu Jianhong looked at the scene on the court in dismay: "Inter Milan played the most beautiful defensive counterattack this season, and they successfully destroyed the opponent's psychological defense."
Yes, look at the current state of the Piacenza players on the field. Even Naingran, who has always been famous for his high fighting spirit, just lowered his head and stood in his position without saying a word. The team's captain Maurantano, in this game, didn't look very good.
Conte seemed so powerless when he shouted at the players on the sidelines because almost no one responded to him.
At this moment, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Piacenza needed someone to stand up and wake up the players, and this person would definitely not be the head coach.
"A Feng's failure to appear has a great impact on Piacenza."
Liu Jianhong paused: "Sometimes, we always think that Afeng is leading the team forward with his own skills, but at this moment, what I want to say is that the most important influence of Afeng on Piacenza's team is the spiritual level."
No one stood up and shouted, no one stubbornly called out to his teammates when he was behind. The Piacenza on the field lacked too much, and this also means that they no longer had the ability to fight back in the face of Inter Milan, which was becoming more and more powerful.
When the ball was opened again, Piacenza, who controlled the ball, was frantically oppressed by Inter Milan. Marchisio and other midfielders could only be knocked down like a small boat in the sea.
On the sidelines, Inter Milan coach Mourinho stood and watched the game again, and the old god sat in the coach's seat. The game was won without any surprise.
In the 70th minute of the game, Inter Milan got another chance.
Front midfielder Vieira broke the ball under Padalino's feet and pushed the ball with it. After attracting Naingran's attention, he distributed the ball to Figo on the right. Figo easily broke through the defense line of Piacenza's midfield and rushed towards Vitale on the back line of Piacenza.
The fledgling Vitale seemed very panicked when Figo dribbled over, and finally, because of his reckless robbery, the opponent easily broke through from his side.
Then Figo made a cross from the right-dial corner of the penalty area of Piacenza. His excellent footwork allowed this 45-degree cross to find Ibrahimovic who had already been in the penalty area. With Ibrahimovic hitting the top of the top, the suspense of this game was finally completely killed.
The fans of the home court at Leonardo Stadium seemed very sad at this moment. It was not a good feeling that they had been so disappointed at home in their first home court so far this season.
The excited Inter Milan fans occupied Piacenza's home court. They sang and danced in the away stands together, which aroused the indignation of the Piacenza fans next to them. If the security guards had not stopped him, something might have happened.
The situation on the court is much more dull than the stands. After losing the ball, the players of Piacenza were very confused and quiet. After Maurantanho took out the ball from the goal and kicked it to the front court, they quickly put the ball on the serving point according to their normal routine.
At this moment, except for the competition that has not ended, there is still hope to comfort yourself, and the players can't find any better words.
On the sidelines, Conte also understood that the game was completely gone. He no longer had unrealistic fantasies and started to substitution after the game restarted, making full use of this last garbage time to train other players on the team.
At the same time, he did not completely give up on the players on the court. In the last ten minutes of the game, Conte made the final adjustment and temporarily switched the 442 formation to 424 in order to seek the last chance.
After all, losing three goals is also a loss, and losing four goals is also a loss. It is better to fight to win one goal and leave some face for yourself.
In the end, Conte's tactics finally worked.
After ensuring that this game can be won, Inter Milan replaced several veterans in the team and replaced a group of new players, which also gave Piacenza a chance.
In the 85th minute of the game, Aubameyang, who was entrusted with heavy responsibilities in this game, finally broke out. After receiving a cross pass from Flokari outside the penalty area, he knocked on Inter Milan's goal with a long shot, and finally gave Piacenza fans a reason to cheer.
In the following time, the two teams did not score any more goals. When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game in the last second of injury time, Piacenza lost the game with a score of 1:3 and announced the end of the team's five consecutive victories.
After the game, Piacenza's players and coach Conte did not choose to accept interviews from the media. It was obvious that losing the game made them not feel good.
As for Liu Feng, he quietly left the side goal of the stadium with Yuan Xiao as soon as the game ended, and did not give the media who were squatting in advance.
Liu Feng was also very disappointed when he was injured and unable to play to help the team. Fortunately, Yuan Xiao comforted him, so he accepted the reality a little.
In the following days, Piacenza's defeat to Inter Milan became the focus of media discussion. Under the analysis of various so-called professionals, all the remarks that previously called this match a strong showdown were overturned, and some of them even made people even appear that even if Liu Feng was present, Piacenza was not Inter Milan.
In this regard, the fans of Piacenza and Piacenza who lost the game could only fight back weakly, with success and defeat. In professional football with only consequences, these cold words seem so real at this moment.
