When Piacenza started multi-line battles in the new season, the team's schedule was no longer as easy as before, and every day seemed very hurrying.

Five days after the game against Milan, Piacenza will face the challenged Catania team at home.

Conte also gave the whole team a day off, so that they only had four days to prepare for training. The players almost entered the high-intensity training arranged by Conte after the day of training.

The Piacenza training ground, from gathering in the morning to disband in the afternoon, has no time to be distracted on the court except for chatting in the restaurant for a while at noon.

Even so, Conte seems not very satisfied with the training results. In the eyes of this young coach, the team's form has been very limited after playing with AC Milan.

This is not the first time Conte leads the team to fight on multiple fronts. When he is in Serie B, he has already led the team to advance simultaneously in the Italian Cup and the league. However, it is obvious that the two-line battles between the league and the Champions League are not of the same intensity as before.

At the same time, in the Piacenza team, except for a very few players like Girardino, many people are facing such a situation for the first time.

Therefore, most of the players didn't know how to maintain the right state in combat on all sides, and Conte was still in the stage of crossing the river by feeling the stones.

This made Piacenza's state recovery very difficult. When Catania came and Conte announced the starting list in the conference room the day before Catania attacked, most of the players were in a slightly better state than when they fought with Milan.

"We played 442 in this game, and Feng and Girardino were paired with two forwards."

Conte had finished yelling his melancholy in the past few days of training, and was already a little weak when he stood in front of the team members to announce the list.

"Paul acted as the front midfielder, and Racha was appointed as the back midfielder, Ramonti and Nocerino were placed on the left and right sides of Racha."

He quickly read out the roster he finally obtained, and roughly the team's strongest combat power: "Miranda and Astori are partnering with double guards, and Vitale and Wolfur serve as left and right full-backs."

This was the fastest list Conte read, and when he sat next to the tactical board, the players were all surprised.

"We won't attack in this game." Conte didn't care about the players' expressions. He pulled the tactical board towards himself: "Let's defend and counterattack."

After taking over Piacenza, Conte rarely pays attention to defense like traditional Italian coaches. In fact, what he prefers is the team's offensive formation of 442 and 442 or even 433.

But if you play a beautiful attack, there must be a lot of physical energy consumption. Piacenza's current fatigue is definitely related to the way of playing that still opens and closes after the start of the game.

So, at this time, Conte had to make a new choice, whether to continue to bite the bullet or study new tactics that could better maintain the player's form.

Obviously, based on the series of defensive cooperation and quick counterattacks that Conte then told the players, he chose to compromise.

The style of a team is always varied. They may leave a very deep impression on the world in some aspects, but they will never be static during the game.

The Italian professional-born local coach Conte's understanding of defense is not as shallow as some coaches who focus on offense.

After playing for many years in the old woman, he had long learned the essence of Italian defense from a series of famous coaches such as Lippi who have created the style of an old woman.

In this way, he arranged the defensive counterattack tactics in Piacenza in an orderly manner.

"Anyway, I need you to pay more attention to cooperation with each other when defending, rather than rushing up and pressing. The entire defense line must be synchronized for me!"

"I understand coach!"

The players had the duty of obeying the coach's arrangements. When Conte made everything ready, everyone had no objection to this. Some defensive players quickly raised the points they had questions to Conte, and Conte gave proper answers one by one.

After the tactical speech, the players disbanded on the spot and went home to adjust their home game to tomorrow.

Liu Feng and Girardino were left a little by Conte at the end, and the young coach once again emphasized to them the importance of the two in the defensive counterattack tactics.

The two of them naturally nodded and agreed, and said that they would do their best in tomorrow's game.

The next day, Piacenza's entire team gathered at Leonardo Stadium in advance. Under Conte's leadership, the team completed the warm-up before the visiting team arrived and returned to the locker room in advance.

"The league is a very lasting rally. Once someone loses his strength, he will be eliminated. We have not won two consecutive rounds. This time we must win at home!"

Conte made his final speech in front of the players. After the draw with AC Milan in the last round, Piacenza's league ranking has reached sixth place, and the start of this season is obviously no longer as sharp as last season.

"So, cheer me up! If you want to hear people's comments about us just a short sentence, then continue to sleepwalking like you were on the stage."

"I don't want to!"

Responding to Conte was the loud yelling of the team members, which made him very satisfied: "Very good, then prepare me!"

"I understand the boss!"

The atmosphere in the locker room has been much more ignited than yesterday, at least the desire to fight has already ignited.

When the staff's reminder came from outside the door, Liu Feng, as the captain, stood up first: "I only have one sentence, don't forget where this place is!"

"Piacenza!"

"Set off!"

Catania and Piacenza, who were also excited by the coach in the locker room, stood side by side in the player channel. Although it was not a battle between mortal enemies, the fighting spirit spread from the two teams was still clearly audible.

"Hello CCTV, CCTV, audience, welcome to watch the seventh round of the 2009-2010 Serie A League match against Catania. I am commentator Liu Jianhong!"

The familiar opening remarks and familiar voices, when the two teams began to prepare for various pre-match events on the court, Liu Jianhong's figure appeared on the screen in time.

Soon, the two teams on the court had already finished their positions. Two forwards of the Catania team, who won the kick-off through the captain's rock-scissors, were standing opposite each other in front of the serving point.

"Shh!!!"

As the referee whistle sounded, a static scene on the field was instantly broken.

"Okay, the game has officially begun!!!"
Chapter completed!
