Chapter 47 Goal Chasing
In the past, Piacenza's corner kicks were always taken by Scarpelli.
But in this game, because of the amazing speed of Aubameyang in the Milan camp, Francini adjusted the selection of the penalty taker before the game.
Scarpelli was left in the backcourt to prevent Milan's quick counterattack. The corner kick was taken by Piacenza's left midfielder.
Different from the arc of Scarpelli's corner kicks, this player is used to driving the ball directly to the area inside the penalty area.
The header from this place will be much less powerful, so the two points of the ball are very important to both teams.
The Milan players in the penalty area are different from the Piacenza players who are familiar with their teammates. They do not know the penalty kick habits of the player who takes the corner kick.
Therefore, the defensive players chose a hierarchical positioning. No matter the small penalty area or the large penalty area, there were defensive players marking them.
As the ball was kicked out and flew straight to the penalty spot, the tall and powerful Foti suppressed Damian during the scramble and pushed the ball.
Before the fight for the top, Foti had already observed Liu Feng's position, which was about to the right of the penalty area, so the moment he hit the ball, Foti shook his head and passed the ball towards the right side of the penalty area.
The person responsible for marking Liu Feng in this corner kick was center back Romagnoli.
Because Liu Feng ran wildly and changed positions before the corner kick was taken, he had a very hard time following and was unable to rely on Liu Feng.
When Liu Feng ran towards the landing spot of Foti's pass, all Romagnoli could do was chase him from behind to grab the spot.
Foti's ball was not very fast, and its height had dropped a lot. Faced with the ball, Liu Feng did not choose to force a header.
When he came to the ball, he hit it directly with his chest, causing the ball to change direction and fly toward the goal.
Milan goalkeeper Ofredi saw this and decisively chose to attack.
The ball was already close to the small penalty area line. According to his judgment, the opponent's forward chose to use his chest to cushion the ball, and he should have lost control of the ball.
But the next moment, when Offredi jumped directly towards the ball, he regretted it.
The player in front of him was too fast. He felt that even if Aubameyang was in the penalty area, his sudden burst could not be better than that of No. 22.
Offredi came to the ball one step earlier. Liu Feng jumped up with the ball with his left foot and passed the goalkeeper who had lowered his body to save. Liu Feng faced the unguarded goal in the air.
Feeling Romagnoli crashing directly into him from behind, Liu Feng understood that he only had a chance to shoot.
He relied on the flexibility of his body in the air to forcefully push out his left leg and poke the ball out.
The moment Liu Feng was hit, the ball flew straight towards the goal. Offredi, who had just gotten up before making a second save, only had time to see the ball fly into the goal.
"Ouch! Ouch!!"
Milan fans, who accounted for the majority of the audience in the entire stadium, fell silent, and Piacenza fans began to cheer wildly.
Their Super Maple did not fail because of the strength of their opponents, Liu Feng was still the magic boy in their hearts.
"Nice job! Maple."
On the court, Scarpelli, Foti and other teammates gathered around him.
Liu Feng's goal is such a morale booster. As long as he is here, no matter how few chances the team has, they will never lack goals.
Only those defensive players who are exhausted will feel the hope of the team's victory.
If a team only defends but does not attack effectively, then their best result is just a draw.
When the hard-earned ball time and time again reaches the feet of the forward and only adds some beautiful defensive statistics to the opponent's defensive players, maybe a draw is a luxury for such a team.
Obviously, facing Milan, Liu Feng became Piacenza's beacon to break the darkness.
In the VIP seats of the Piacenza auditorium, Lisa was smiling and looking at Yuan Xiao who had just shouted for Liu Feng's wonderful goal.
This Chinese girl, who never spoke loudly in school, let herself go while watching Liu Feng play football.
"Lisa, look what I'm doing, Liu Feng's goal just now was really cool."
Yuan Xiao, who was in a state of excitement, didn't notice Lisa's teasing eyes, and curiously asked Lisa why she wasn't as excited as him.
"Please, I'm a huge Milan fan!"
Lisa rolled her eyes at Yuan Xiao angrily: "Besides, our beautiful lady Yuan's performance just now scared me."
"Forehead……"
After making eye contact with Liu Feng who was looking towards him, Yuan Xiao finally realized his gaffe and his face turned slightly red.
On the court, Milan's players obviously did not expect that they would lose the ball first.
However, as a strong team, they did not lose their position and quickly adjusted their mentality. They stood at the service point and waited for the Piacenza players to stand up.
"Okay guys, the game continues!"
Liu Feng separated from the celebrating teammates around him, and then pointed at the Milan players who were already standing.
Although scoring the first goal is really exciting, winning the game is the team's ultimate pursuit.
"OK!"
The team members also knew what was more important and returned to their positions.
After the restart, the Milan reserve team continued to implement its own tactics as if they were not affected by Liu Feng at all.
What everyone didn't expect was that the score was evened just five minutes later.
That goal was initiated by Milan's backcourt Damian.
At that time, after once again intercepting the ball from Foti's feet, Damian distributed the ball to the full-back who had already moved forward.
The full-back was extremely fast and quickly brought the ball to the midfield line, and then passed the ball to Aubameyang, who was coming towards him.
When Aubameyang got the ball, there were no players around him to interfere, which allowed him to pick up his speed very comfortably.
He quickly passed by the Piacenza midfielder who was running over to try to block him.
Facing Scarpelli directly, he still did not choose to slow down, but directly sent the ball forward with force. After being two positions behind Scarpelli, he overtook and got the ball.
This also caused all the fans in the audience to scream in surprise.
Then Aubameyang did not choose to pass the ball to Pawlowski who was in a better position on the other side, but chose to shoot directly.
The shot was met by Gadri, who put his entire body out to block it.
There was a muffled sound and the ball deflected in the opposite direction to the goal.
Just as the defensive player heaved a sigh of relief, a red and black figure got the ball before the Piacenza players who were retracting to destroy the ball.
Stop the ball, hit the goal, score a goal.
In an extremely short period of time, the figure completed a series of actions. Before the Piacenza goalkeeper had time to fully complete his saving action, the ball went directly into the goal from his armpit.
"Pawlowski! Pawlowski!!" Milan fans chanted.
Chapter completed!
