Chapter 313 Conte's Thoughts
This is the moment that belongs to Piacenza and Liu Feng.
After calmly shooting this goal, he hugged Gansuo, who was passing the ball, and then came over Girardino, Naingran and others.
The group surrounded Liu Feng in the middle, waved to the fans in the stands, and walked towards their own half.
Everyone was obviously used to Liu Feng's goal and did not celebrate for too long before the first half was over.
So in the 35th minute of the game, just a while after Liu Feng scored, the two teams stood on the court again.
Seeing this, the referee also blew the whistle of the kickoff to signal the game to continue.
"Okay, both sides have opened up again, and Piacenza's defense looks more comfortable after scoring the goal." Liu Jianhong's voice was relaxed and pleasant, and he was obviously full of joy for Liu Feng's continued goal.
On the court, Catania obviously restrained a lot after being finally broken through the defense line by Piacenza. In terms of offense, it was no longer the state where the entire midfield and forward line were over halfway through.
In the subsequent game, although Catania still appeared to be on the offensive overall, even the layman who joined in the fun to watch the game could see that the Piacenza team seemed much more at ease.
Liu Feng and Girardino kept turning back to the running position in Catania and involved the midfielder, and Gansuo used ball control technology to control the ball.
The Naingran trio used iron gate-like defense to block the opponent's offense, while the back line led by Miranda firmly controlled the team's last line of defense.
Under the tactics arranged by Conte, the team's four lines are not unrelated, but require a unified replacement and coordination in the dynamics.
This made Catania feel like he was trapped in a quagmire, and in the next ten minutes, he could not even touch the gate of Piacenza.
For a time, Piacenza's goalkeeper Maurantano became the easiest player on the court.
The whole first half also ended in such a situation. Piacenza led the ball with a goal and returned to the locker room happily, leaving only the Catania coach who was racking his brains to think about his countermeasures and the depressed team behind him.
"You did a good job in the first half." Back in the locker room, Conte was quite satisfied with the performance of the players: "As long as we maintain this advantage in the second half, we can easily win the game."
“Understand the boss.”
Under the overall coordination tactic, the team's members did not consume much physical energy, and they all responded with a smile that made Conte seem very relaxed.
"If you can win like this, it will be very comfortable."
After Conte nodded and sat aside and stopped talking, Astori, who was attacking, started chatting with the defenders around him with a smile.
"Haha, indeed, with Racha and the others in front, our defensive pressure is much less."
Miranda, who was partnered with him in this game, smiled and nodded: "I have never even faced a single attack with an opponent's striker."
In the locker room, as the two started talking, everyone started to talk.
Most of these players became the main players two years ago or even a year ago. From the beginning, they were exposed to the main ideas of the team's offense. Everyone enjoyed the wanton and passion of all the players when attacking.
However, after the half-game, they suddenly realized that defense is actually something that can bring a different kind of happiness.
After all, it is really interesting to watch Yi Yi Wai Lao watch the scene where his opponent gritted his teeth but could only be beaten back again and again.
In fact, it is not just the players who are happy. Conte's heart, a tactical idea that is completely different from that since his debut, has quietly been born.
He suddenly realized that the kind of boredom he experienced countless times in his career that he was a little resistant at the beginning could actually bring greater benefits to the team.
A more comprehensive and systematic tactical system about defense began to be generated in his mind. Although these tactics need to be continuously improved, it is not a difficult task for Conte, who is leading a young team with extremely strong plasticity.
"Hello, please prepare to enter!"
Soon, the door to the team's locker room was knocked by the staff, and the short halftime break was over. The team's players and the coach rushed out to the stadium.
The two teams changed sides and fought again. After the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the second half, the players who quickly moved formed a group.
"Good audiences, welcome back to the game scene, what you are bringing you is the second half of the game against Catania."
After quickly finishing his opening remarks, Liu Jianhong focused his attention on the two teams.
"Oh~, Piacenza did not make any changes during the halftime break, and Catania directly removed a forward player and changed the lineup to 442."
On the court, the substitution cards on the sidelines also showed this change. The Catania coach quickly changed his mind after the team fell into an unfavorable situation. It has to be said that it was a very courageous thing.
Such a change played a very positive role after the two teams fought again. At least Piacenza's tightening formation had to be pulled apart to take over the space given up by Catania.
The meeting between the two teams returned to the midfield from Piacenza's halftime. Although Piacenza's advantage in the midfield players' strength, it is obvious that Catania's operating space has become much larger.
With more midfield support, their forward players have more time to run and seek opportunities, and seize the gap between the Piacenza formation and spreading the defense line.
In the next twenty minutes, the goal of Catania's Piacenza began to re-emerge.
Although Piacenza resolves the threat one by one, it is well known that the ball is round and you will never control it forever.
In the 70th minute of the game, something that made Piacenza popular and cursed happened like this.
It was a counterattack launched by Catania after Giladino's shot was confiscated by the goalkeeper. The ball was gradually pushed from the backcourt and finally came to the midfielder who had crossed the center line.
The midfielder who dribbled the ball just now showed his intention to hit him with Gansuo and kicked the ball out and smashed it towards the Piacenza defense line.
Astori had already gained the upper hand in the position with the opponent's forward, but in the end he was extremely hidden and missed the ball by the opponent.
"Catania's forward Javito received the ball and he shot directly!!!"
This was a very awkward shot, because Astori turned around and disturbed Javito immediately after being pulled open. But unfortunately, it was his last interference that caused the goal.
When Maurantano was quite confident in snatching the ball in the direction he was judged, the ball was offset.
The shot was seen as he hit the post in front of Maurantano and moved in parallel humiliatingly, hitting the goalkeeper's head and bounced into the goal.
Chapter completed!
