Chapter 223 Strange tactics

When Piacenza returned to their club, they were once again welcomed by the whole city. Facing their triumphant team, those fans who were unable to go to the away game kept singing to the team bus and expressing their joy.

After getting off the car, Liu Feng attended the team's post-match reception with Conte, and answered a series of media questions with Conte at the meeting.

After the 32nd round of Serie A, there are only six rounds left in the league this season. At this time, after winning again, Piacenza still led AC Milan behind him in the standings, ranking second in the league.

As for Inter Milan, the first in the league, it drew with Juventus in the Italian national derby, continuing the team's unbeaten to the thirteenth round.

After Piacenza scored three points, it only narrowed the gap with Inter Milan by two points. In front of him, Inter Milan still ranked first with a big advantage of nine points.

Conte had expressed his great appreciation for Mourinho in the interview. In his opinion, Inter Milan under Muniao is so stable that it is hopeless. With only six rounds left in the league, it is hard for him to think of what opportunity Inter Milan can give his team.

In fact, during the interview, Conte was more worried about Milan and Juventus who were chasing Piacenza's butt. Yes, Juventus has now come to the same situation as Milan.

In other words, among the four seats in the Champions League, except for Inter Milan, which is far ahead in the first tier, Piacenza, who is second-placed, only leads Milan and Juventus behind him by three points. This is not a safe score, not to mention that in the next round of the game, Piacenza will also go away to challenge the old woman.

Therefore, in the face of reporters' digging questions, Conte still maintained a cautious attitude of speaking and doing things.

After the head coach proofed himself, Liu Feng naturally knew how to deal with the media. After an interview, in addition to obtaining Liu Feng's more detailed mental process of breaking the record and Piacenza's determination to secure a seat in the Champions League, the reporters did not get other news that had more explosive points.

After Conte returned to the team's conference room that day, he naturally announced the good news of the holiday. Against the backdrop of the team's victory, he did not want the players to have any bad emotions.

So, the next day, the Piacenza team members enjoyed another rare holiday.

When the players started preparing for the next round of the league on the third day, everyone recovered quite well. After coach Conte appeared on the court, the team's full training kicked off again.

No one can get anything for no reason, and without hard work, Piacenza cannot accomplish such a counterattack this season.

It can be said that after Conte arrived at this team, the training of the entire team was arranged according to the standards of the top clubs. If this group of young players could persevere, they would naturally gain. After blackening the dark horses to the end, it can be foreseen that their value will greatly increase after the end of the season.

This is naturally a story. What Piacenza's players still need to do is to train well and strive to win every game.

There is no time for training, and six days passed quietly. When the players finished the training match at the training base on the last day, they sat in the conference room while wiping sweat and listening to Conte's analysis of his opponent and tactical arrangements.

Catania is now ranked 14th in the league, which is a downstream ranking, but it is still a little far from the relegation zone, which makes the team seem a little undesirable at this time. This is obviously good news for Piacenza, who will go away to challenge Juventus after playing this round of the league.

Of course, if Piacenza had this mentality to face their opponents, the result would still be hard to say.

After all, not every team that has no desires will play casually when facing their opponents. As a big dark horse in the Champions League after being promoted from Serie B but failing to relegate well but firmly occupying the dark horse in the Champions League, Piacenza has actually attracted a lot of hatred this season. They cannot guarantee what kind of mentality their opponents will deal with themselves.

Therefore, whether it is the tactical arrangement and the introduction of opponents' players, Conte followed the highest standards, and even did not dare to casually put the first half of the substitute lineup in the arrangement.

In the arrangement of troops in this game, Conte adopted a small number of rotations, and only took down some players in key positions, such as Marchisio, Naingran and Liu Feng.

In other positions, Piacenza, who has arranged a 442 formation, has served as a double striker with Flokari and Cassia, and Marco, Padalino, Tozka and Aubameyang as the four midfielders, while the defense line has not changed at all.

Although this lineup is not Piacenza's strongest form, it is more than enough to deal with Catania. In the least, it can balance out the power with its opponents. By that time, Conte can completely replace the main player with the bench to solve the problem.

The players naturally had no objection to the coach's arrangement. After confirming the team's roster, they went back to rest and wait for tomorrow's game.

On the way, after the Catania team bus arrived at Leonardo Stadium, the two teams soon appeared on the court at the same time.

The fans of Piacenza have made their home court extremely richly arranged, and there is a huge wolf-headed tifo in the southern stands where diehard fans gather. In the ups and downs of the fans, the wolf-head looks lifelike, bringing great psychological pressure to the visiting team.

When the two teams determined the service rights and the half-time position, the referee quickly blew the whistle to start the game, and the game began.

At the beginning of the game, Conte's concerns became a reality. Catania, who was undesirable and demandless, obviously did not look like he kicked Piacenza at all. They chose the right to kick the ball from the beginning of the game to challenge the dark horse in front of them with extremely fierce kicks.

This is not the first time that Piacenza's players have faced fierce play, but Catania is the team they face the most troublesome team.

From the first moment after the game started, Catania's players seemed to be completely unafraid of fouls and wanted to rush Piacenza's players.

As the core of the team's organization, Padalino could not hold the ball for a time, and Tozka even faced the opponent's fiercest midfield. The two of them hit me and I shoveled you and quickly got yellow cards.

"Catania does not pursue any ball possession rate at all. Their tactics are completely destroying Piacenza's tactics, this..."

Liu Jianhong's comments very appropriately summarize the direction after the start of the game.
