Chapter 272 The drums of war are beaten
The day's rest ended soon, and the next day, the Piacenza team members returned to the training base again.
Starting today, the team's focus will no longer be on the integration of new players, but on preparing for the strong rival Inter Milan.
If we want to choose which team was the best and most fierce team in the Serie A game last season, I believe many fans would not choose AC Milan, which has a fluctuating state, but Piacenza, whose dark horse is soaring, but this answer is still not the only one.
If you choose the team that played the most stable game last season and made the opponent desperate, everyone's answer will be surprisingly consistent, that is Inter Milan led by Mourinho.
The famous coach of the newly joined team mastered the entire team like a seamless connection. Then, in his first season of coaching the Nerazzurri, he led the team far away from the crowd of followers behind him, locked in the league championship early, and achieved a consecutive championship.
In this summer window, although the team lost the Serie A silver boot Ibrahimovic of last season, it still completed a series of beautiful transfer transactions.
Etoo, an African Cheetah from Barcelona, bought the Brazilian national team captain Lucio, Genoa's powerful midfielder Thiago Mota, and Diego Milito, the Serie A boot last season. The addition of a series of powerful players has prevented Inter Milan from increasing their combat effectiveness instead of increasing.
Mourinho, who has always been big-mouthed, even made a bold statement that the team will strive for the championship in major competitions before the league began. As for the Serie A league championship, he regarded it as his favorite.
A stone caused a thousand waves. When Mourinho's speech spread to Italy through the media, the Serie A teams looked at Inter Milan differently.
Everyone doesn't know what they think, but one thing is certain: no team is willing to become a stepping stone for Inter Milan's title.
As the opponent of Inter Milan's first round of the new season, last season's Serie A runner-up Piacenza naturally became the target of everyone's attention. The team's first press conference for the new season was directly squeezed out by reporters from major media.
"I admit that Inter Milan has a very good group of players, but it is not a good thing to let go of such bold words so early. At least in my opinion, my players will cause big trouble for them in the game against Inter Milan."
After a successful season, Conte's image in front of the media is no longer as reserved as before. He is also very confident in his team's strength and made a very targeted counterattack against Muniao's speech in an interview: "As for whether it can be done, we can see a good idea in the game."
When the press conference ended, the entire Serie A was stimulated by the declaration of war between the two coaches. Fans and media who had not seen the game for nearly two months had a feeling of a storm.
This kind of excitement that belongs to the league alone made everyone start to look forward to the arrival of the first round of the league.
At the Piacenza training ground, Conte obviously became interested in competing after completing such a press conference with great enthusiasm. After returning to the training base the next day, he directly increased the training volume to the intensity of the game, and his requirements for players became more stringent in daily tactical exercises.
If you want to be a warrior who picks evil dragons, you must first have enough hard power. Conte is very clear about this truth.
In the days before the start of the game, Piacenza, who was about to go to challenge the Nerazzurri away, was also infected by Conte's high tension. He tried his best to train and reached the peak of their states that they could reach at present.
Time was also spent in the sweat of the players, and soon the day before the game.
As usual, Conte ended the training of the day early and summoned the players in the locker room. The team will announce the roster for tomorrow's game and the preliminary starting list.
"In the next game, we will line up a 4132 formation." The tactical board was quickly arranged, and Conte began to arrange the candidates: "Feng, you and Alberto will be the double striker."
One center forward and one shadow forward are commonly used in Piacenza's double strikers, and it is also one of the most comfortable positions for Liu Feng to play football. In the past, Cassia was in front of him, but in the new season, he has become a world-class Girardino. I believe he will play more comfortable.
In terms of midfield layout, after losing a major organizational core like Marcisio, Conte boldly handed over the team's new core position to this Brazilian genius midfielder after observing Ganso.
This time, Piacenza's midfielder no longer arranged the core back, and Gansuo stood behind Liu Feng and Girardino to transport shells for them.
Nainglan has also had a new position, that is, to serve as the team's midfielder.
His abundant physical fitness and offense are actually the most suitable position. Before, Conte had no suitable candidate for the front midfielder, so he had to place this B2B midfielder, who sometimes has stronger defensive ability than offense ability, in the front midfielder position.
Now that the team's lineup has been highly strengthened, we can naturally arrange it freely according to Conte's ideas.
Between Ganso and Naingran, Ramirez and Nocerino were arranged on the left and right. The two midfielders covered the same area. While the team was attacking and pressing, they were also responsible for the defensive tasks on both sides.
In this way, Piacenza's midfield position actually exists in the form of 121, which is undoubtedly very beneficial to the team's control of the space, and there will be no situation where a person on the line is broken and the entire line will collapse.
As for the position of the four defenders, the main full-backs Desilvestre and Wolfle on both sides of the left and right last season both kept their main position, while in the center back, Astori was squeezed on the bench by the stronger Miranda, and Scalpelli's partner was replaced.
It can be foreseen that for a long time in the new season, Piacenza's central defender combination will be in a continuous rotation situation, which will be very conducive to the team's multi-line battle in the new season.
"Okay, these are the players who will go to Milan tomorrow."
With a snap, Conte closed the document in his hand and focused his eyes on all the players: "This is the first battle of the new season, and it is also a battle to clean up the shame we were easily defeated by Inter Milan at home last season. I hope each of you will let me see enough fighting spirit."
"I understand coach!"
"Okay, now everyone is disbanded. We will gather in the club parking lot tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, and we will have a good rest tonight!"
"roar!"
Led by the captain, the players roared together. The drums of the new season of the battle were already ringing in their hearts, and Liu Feng couldn't wait to gallop on the field again.
Inter Milan? Let's fight!
Chapter completed!
