Chapter 225: Adding Variables
When the Piacenza team members walked back to the locker room, the anger did not stop for a long time. They cursed their opponents in the locker room and looked quite angry.
"Hey, Cassia, that's really a man! Don't let your face down, we're ahead."
Flocari, who scored that penalty, hugged Cassia, who seemed a little sad because she got her first red card in Serie A. Obviously, he was very grateful to his partner for his move to stand out for him.
"Puff, Sergio, do you think I'm because of that red card?"
“Isn’t it?”
"Haha, Sergio, you may not understand Cassia's previous style." Naingran, who was standing by, took over the conversation with a smile: "He had won many red cards when he was with the reserve team last year."
"Why do you seem so frustrated by Casia?"
"Because I haven't been satisfied with the cowards yet!" When Flokari asked the idea, Cassia suddenly felt energetic: "This group of savage guys don't understand football at all. Playing football with them will only hurt us, so we should teach them enough lessons!"
"That's right!"
"Casia, we support you!"
...
As Cassia finished speaking, Piacenza's locker room responded with harmony. Obviously, the players were very angry at Catania's bullshit kicks.
"Ahem! So do you want to have another red card?"
When a cold sound came from the door of the locker room, the riots in the locker room instantly calmed down. Cassia, who had just told his teammates about how he strangled the opponent's throat and made his face turn red, sat down.
That's right, when I walked into the door, I was talking to Liu Feng while walking back, Conte, who didn't return to the locker room as soon as possible.
When Conte walked into the house, Liu Feng followed him in. He looked at Cassia who was sitting there with sympathy. Although he also agreed with his behavior of standing up for his teammates, it was obvious that their coach was going to get angry.
"Casia! Tell me, what the hell are you thinking! Pinch your throat? Do you know what kind of punishment you will receive?"
A roar exploded in the locker room and Conte began his speech.
When Piacenza's locker room calmed again, the team members did not get out of touch, and everyone looked at Conte, who was standing next to the tactical board in front of him.
"I'm not allowing you to be hostile to your opponents. On the contrary, I had the idea of rushing up and strangling them to death when I was on the sidelines. But I think there is something more important than this. Don't forget who our opponents are in the next game, and who are the pursuers behind us."
With a handful of tactical boards beside him, Conte quickly placed various icons upwards: "If you want to fall into the qualifying round or even lose the Champions League qualification, then continue to be angry with them, give them a few more red cards, and I think we can end this season early."
"No, coach, we don't want to do this!"
Cassia, who was scolded, spoke first. Obviously, he also realized what consequences his impulse had brought to him. According to Serie A's punishment for shaking, he would definitely not be able to escape the pursuit after the game. In the next few games, he could only sit off the court to watch.
"If you don't want to do this, you will listen to me!"
Conte nodded and pointed his hand at the tactical board next to him: "Maple will replace Sergio in the second half, because the team doctor has advised me not to let him continue the next game, so we will only have one forward on the field."
"Padalino, you can come forward to help Feng at the right time, but the most important thing in the second half I want to say is defense. Don't be stupid to accept the opponent's provocation, keep a good attitude and treat them as animals. We don't need to care about animals."
Quickly explain his adjustments clearly. Conte arranged Piacenza's formation to 4131 in the second half. With a goal advantage, he was unwilling to his players to face the dirty defense of his hands. Therefore, the second half tactic he set for the team was to spend time by controlling the ball and counterattack moderately.
As for this moderation, he had already made it clear on the way back to the locker room with Liu Feng, that is, when facing any offensive defense of the opponent, Liu Feng has the right to give up the attack. His task is not to score goals, but to protect himself while harassing the opponent.
Soon, the players fully understood the head coach's arrangements, and at the same time, the door to the locker room was also knocked.
As the two teams pass by each other in the player channel, the second half of the game will soon begin.
"Okay, audiences, welcome back to the game scene and let's continue watching the second half of Piacenza against Catania."
Liu Jianhong's voice also sounded in the picture in time. He observed that the adjustments of the two teams were quickly counted: "After both teams lost a player, both teams made adjustments. Catania replaced a full-length forward and replaced a central defender with a 432-round team. Japanese young players Takasin Morimoto and Giuseppe Mascala partnered as the team's double striker."
"Oh~, A Feng came on the court on Piacenza, and he replaced Flokari who seemed to be injured. Then, if I remember correctly, Piacenza will only have one striker left, so Conte's tactics in the second half are very likely to be more defensive."
On the court, with the referee's whistle, the formations of the two teams quickly opened up, which was exactly the same as Liu Jianhong's guess. Piacenza's side turned into a single striker's formation. They had the right to serve and passed the ball to their middle and backcourts as soon as possible and began the ball control tactics.
The Catania team members rushed up quickly and continued to try to provoke, but after the intermission, the entire Piacenza team ignored them like they had changed teams. Faced with their high-level pressing, the Piacenza team members simply treated them as monkeys walking and did not have too much physical contact with their opponents.
As a result, the game became more organized. Two teams controlled the ball and defended the whole team, and finally achieved the smoothest and most normal twenty minutes after the start of the game.
Yes, it only lasted for over twenty minutes.
In the 70th minute of the game, Catania surrounded Liu Feng through three players. When the two players came to the scoring, Liu Feng decisively gave up the ball and pushed the ball forward and quickly retreated to allow two Catania players who came from different directions to collide together.
“shit!”
