Chapter 431 Walking on the right path
It was an inevitable counterattack. When Novara's players stumbling on the offensive in Piacenza's strong defense, Liu Feng, Gansu and other offensive players who were asked by Conte to stay in the frontcourt were already ready to move.
After Ventola, who was dribbling the ball again, lost the ball in a mess in the front and back attacks between Nocerino and Naingran, Raymondie, who got the ball, drove the ball forward quickly.
"Raymondie brought the ball to the near serving point, passed the ball, Ganso got the ball, fried croquettes, and got it very beautifully!"
Liu Jianhong, who had been waiting for this moment, became louder again, and it was impolite to come but not to go. This was very appropriate for Piacenza, who had great strength to attack.
Gansuo on the court almost instantly got rid of the entanglement of a Novara midfielder, and then he was near the center circle and passed the ball behind Novara's defense line with a long pass.
"The ball behind him, Novara only had three defenders left in the first half. A Feng and the left back were entangled and ran towards the ball!"
With one move, one tap, one push, and one push, Liu Feng, who still seemed at ease under the interference of the defensive players beside him, handled the ball in an instant. When the four opponents who were stuck with him came back to their senses, he had already rushed towards Novara's goal with the ball.
This time, no one could stop Liu Feng. With only two remaining defenders and one had to be responsible for defending Giladino, Liu Feng was left with a large area of Conte and a player who was constantly retreating with high tension.
"A Feng, the single-killing action during high-speed marching, left and right, he moved, and broke directly to the left!"
The martial arts of the world are only fast and cannot be broken. In the face of absolute speed, everything is empty.
The last defender who blocked Liu Feng for the goalkeeper was already dizzy after Liu Feng's series of fake moves, which made him react and turn back to chase after Liu Feng broke through him like a wind.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
When the team urgently needed a goal to establish the victory, Liu Feng, who entered the penalty area alone, was already in an absolutely calm state.
"Put your left foot, hit it~, fake shot and real buckle! The goalkeeper has been shaken out, A Feng, he has passed the goalkeeper!"
Uykani, who had already pounced on his left, could only watch Liu Feng in despair at this moment as he easily pushed the ball into the empty goal. After hearing the effective whistle of the referee's goal, all Novara closed their eyes in despair.
"The ball is in! It is in! It is in! It is 3:1, and the game was killed."
There is no need to mention the carnival at Leonardo Stadium, and countless fans who watched the game nervously in front of the TV were relieved.
People's final memory is also the scene where Liu Feng, the hero of the goal, led the Piacenza team to slide together on the green field.
When the game started again, Novara no longer had the spirit of burning his boats. Although the players did not give up their pursuit of goals at the last moment under the call of the head coach, the score of this game still did not change.
“嘘!嘘!嘘!!!”
Two shorts, one long and three whistles sounded. At the moment the game was over, the referee on duty decisively blew the whistle at the end of the game.
The players on the court who were fighting bravely for the last moment relaxed the next moment. While walking down the court together, the players of the two teams even chatted for a few words.
"Hello, can you exchange jerseys?"
When Liu Feng, Girardino and others walked to the sidelines together, a voice appeared behind him. Ventola, who scored Novara's only goal in this game, was smiling shirtlessly and holding his jersey.
"Of course, a very honor."
The distance between Serie A and Serie C is far farther than it seems, but this does not affect the players' mutual appreciation.
Liu Feng was deeply impressed by the forward in front of him who was still running desperately at the last moment of the game and tried to intercept the ball. He immediately took off his jersey and handed it over.
Then, the two men holding each other's jerseys smiled and shook hands before each walking towards their teammates.
When Liu Feng returned to the place where Piacenza's players stood, he found that almost several of the main core players of the team were shirtless.
"Haha, this is the first time I've been invited to exchange jerseys, it's amazing."
Scapelli was chatting with Cassia and the others on the side: "I really didn't expect that guy was so familiar with me."
In fact, the players of Piacenza don’t know that after they emerged as a newly promoted team, their popularity among low-level teams has become completely different.
Becoming a wealthy family requires long-term accumulation, and becoming a dark horse requires strong strength and luck. Obviously, Piacenza has become the target of many small balls who will follow.
"Okay, boys, now we're going to end the audience."
"I understand coach!"
...
The first game of the Italian Cup 3:1 was undoubtedly a very good result, and Piacenza also successfully entered the quarterfinals of the Italian Cup through this victory.
The players of the team were disbanded after they left the audience, leaving only Liu Feng and Conte to appear again at the team's post-match press conference.
The media have endless questions about Liu Feng's scored six goals in two consecutive games and Piacenza's recent good game form, but Conte's answer was quite simple in the end.
"I think we are on the right path."
The next day, Piacenza's team once again enjoyed a rare day of vacation, and the fatigue accumulated from the weekly double competition also dissipated very quickly after the day of relaxation.
The next round of the Italian Cup will be held in two weeks, which means that Piacenza will only have one round of league play in the next round of competition.
However, this does not mean that Piacenza will spend this week very easily, because in the 20th round of the league, they will face their opponents, which is Inter Milan, which has been ranked first in Serie A for two consecutive seasons with a terrifying advantage.
Now, with Piacenza's unbeaten record in the league of five rounds, its league ranking has reached the second place.
Although the gap between them and Inter Milan is still quite large, there is a small gap between AC Milan and Roma who are following behind them.
If you don't want to be followed by the chasers behind you and want to maintain the hope of catching up with Inter Milan, then Piacenza must do his best in this round of the league.
Therefore, when the players gathered at the training base again, the busy and high-intensity training life came again.
