Chapter 404 Gunmen Attack
In the two days before the next Champions League game, Liu Feng and Yuan Xiao became the most leisurely people. They stroll around the attractions in Piacenza every day and enjoy the beautiful world of two.
Just the day before Arsenal arrived, the entire Piacenza city had begun to be decorated, and various Piacenza flags with the Champions League logo were hung up. Liu Feng also came to the club to receive two VIP tickets prepared for him.
He will not watch this game on the bench when he is on vacation early, but he will definitely come to the scene to cheer for his teammates in person.
It was the day of the game in a blink of an eye. After getting along with Yuan Xiao, Liu Feng and his team entered the stadium early in the afternoon and sat in the Leonardo Stadium.
In Piacenza, the team also left the training base in the afternoon. Since the game started at night local time, Conte did not rush to lead the team into the court to warm up.
They gave their last tactical explanation in the locker room, and Piacenza was late until the visiting Arsenal had already entered the stadium to warm up.
The warm-up between the two teams did not last long. After a period of time, Wenger first led the team back to the locker room, and Conte and his team did not wait too long.
Liu Feng in the stands had already immersed in the atmosphere of the fans with Yuan Xiao. After he had not sat in the stands for a long time, he had a deeper contact with the fans and found the passion of watching football with his father when he was a child.
"Hello CCTV, CCTV, audience friends, welcome to watch the last round of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2009-2010 season. I am commentator Liu Jianhong!"
Although this game is a battle for the top spot in Group H, since Liu Feng did not have the chance to appear, Liu Jianhong and CCTV's broadcast team did not attend the scene in person this time.
However, as a commentator, he still seemed passionate, which made the fans who were sitting in front of the TV stay up late and waited cheer up.
"This game is the coach of two teams that have been confirmed to advance. Now Arsenal is ranked first with four wins and one loss and 12 points, while Piacenza is ranked second with three wins, one draw and one loss."
He quickly read out the points of the two teams, and Liu Jianhong continued to analyze.
"Piacenza can only surpass Arsenal in this game to qualify as the first in the group, and according to the Gunners' roster released before the game, it will be a very difficult thing."
Professor Wenger had no intention of keeping his hand in this game. After being defeated by Piacenza in his first home court in the Champions League, both the Gunners fans and the players were holding their breath to get back.
In today's game, Arsenal, who is ready to play in a full lineup, is ready to defeat Piacenza no matter what.
Even Wenger, who has always been gentle, not only expressed his appreciation for Liu Feng, who won the Champions League Golden Boot Award, but also expressed his determination to win in front of the media.
Therefore, for Piacenza, this is a game that cannot be taken lightly anyway.
After losing Liu Feng, they did not have the ability to attack Arsenal on the front line, and Conte considered this as early as when he was deploying troops.
In this game, he once again played a diamond midfielder. After arranging Aubameyang and Girardino to play as the double striker, the four midfielders were Ganso, Ramirez, Nocerino and Naingran from the front.
These are all the undisputed main players in the midfield position of Piacenza. On the defense line, Miranda, who has recovered and performed well in the game against Genoa, has returned to the starting defender position.
The entire team quickly reached the best state they could reach during the training days. In order to maintain their dignity in front of their fans, they also played a huge part in this game.
Time passed quickly, and when the two teams were already standing together, Leonardo Stadium fell into a brief silence.
"Shh!!!"
A sharp whistle sounded across the court, and Arsenal, who chose the kick-off, took the lead in driving the ball.
"Van Persie pushed the ball to Al Shavin in front of him, and Al Shavin passed the ball to Fabregas!"
Liu Jianhong's voice sounded as the game unfolded, and the fierce competition officially kicked off.
From the beginning of the game, Arsenal did not have any left behind. Under Wenger's training, the Gunner, whose pass control technology is the world's top player, attacked Piacenza after taking the ball.
Using the mercury-like pass and control cooperation, the Piacenza, which was on the defensive overall, did not touch the ball in the first five minutes of the game.
It was not until Fabregas made a two-pass and one-on-one cooperation with Nasri that the ball was handed over to Naingran and Van Persie who was defending. Van Persie came directly and shot and was held in his arms by Maurantanho, that the ball rights were exchanged for the first time.
This is a very unfavorable signal for Piacenza. Due to the hot state of the Gunners, they had never touched the opponent in their first attack.
"Closing, don't give them too much space!"
Conte on the sidelines shouted out immediately, and it was obvious that the opponent's condition directly sounded the alarm bell for him.
Piacenza's players responded quickly to the coach's request. As Maurantanho threw the ball with his hand and threw the ball to Naingran, the team's formation shrank significantly.
As an Italian team, defense is a compulsory course. The team has practiced this change in the past few days of training, so Piacenza's tight defense is completed quite quickly.
This made Arsenal instantly lose face. As the ball began to be dispatched between Piacenza's midfield and backcourt, the two sides were in a deadlock.
However, the strength of Arsenal's overall strength has won them more opportunities as the game time passes.
Whenever Girardino and Aubameyang threaten Arsenal goals once, Van Persie and Al Shavin can complete at least two shots.
Such a threat has increased rapidly over time than the pressure on Piacenza.
Finally, when the game time reached thirty minutes, Piacenza's gate was the first to fall.
It was an attack initiated by Fabregas. He ran the ball through the defenses of Ramirez and Nocerino in the middle and passed the ball before Naingran arrived.
Van Persie, who received the ball in front of the penalty area, showed his ability as a top striker. He changed direction in a flash and opened the shooting space from Miranda who was following him.
Then, a shocking world wave was born.
