Mantua's current ranking is in the middle and upper reaches of the entire league. This team, which did not perform well last season, signed several very good players in the last summer window, which has allowed the team to win in the new season.

The performance of the season has been outstanding.

Nowadays, according to the records of the two teams Piacenza and Mantua in the previous five games, Piacenza is obviously inferior to its opponents. Therefore, before this game, most people looked down on Piacenza.

Cinza, and Mantua also had a very relaxed mentality when they played against each other at home.

But everything turned out completely different after the referee blew the opening whistle. Throughout the first half, the favored Mantua was beaten by Piacenza at home, and in the 40th minute of the game, Piacenza

Acenza's Nainggolan took advantage of a long shot in front of the penalty area and penetrated the gate of Mantua.

Nainggolan has consciously strengthened his long-range shooting training since he was in the reserve team, and has consulted with Liu Feng many times. Obviously, he has not given up on strengthening his ability in this aspect after returning to the first team.

, although it is not yet extremely strong, but now long-range shooting has indeed become a very threatening ability for him.

If the game continues at this pace, Piacenza has a very high chance of winning the game. However, during the halftime break of the game, something happened. It rained. The heavy rain quickly wiped out Mantua.

The low-quality grass was muddy, and at the beginning of the second half, the weather still did not improve.

Such a situation did not require the game to be terminated. After observing the weather, the referee made the decision to continue the game, and the players had no choice but to walk back to the field in the heavy rain.

Piacenza is a team that is good at passing the ball on the ground. Except for Cassia and Nainggolan, as well as Lorenzo in the defense, no one else in the team has very good heading skills, which led to the second half.

After the opening, Piacenza made many mistakes in passing.

And these, for Mantua, which already uses long passes and high-altitude balls as its main offensive method, obviously have not as big an impact as Piacenza.

They seized on Piacenza's passing errors one after another and used long passes to directly send the ball into the penalty area. Then, relying on the offensive line's ability to handle high-altitude balls, they launched frequent attacks on Piacenza's gate, causing a lot of damage.

threaten.

Although all the defensive players in Piacenza tried their best to defend, on this rainy day, both the route and the force of the ball flying were different from those in normal games, which was very detrimental to the players who mainly relied on experience to defend.

Once again, due to a misjudgment by the centre-back, Mantua's forward seized the opportunity and headed the ball, which was somewhat heavy due to absorbing too much water, into the goal.

The score came to 1:1.

Although it was just an equalizer, people who saw the entire situation on the court from 1:0 to 1:1 knew that Piacenza had fallen into a very unfavorable situation, because the rhythm on the court had obviously fallen into Manchester United's favor.

In Duwa's hands.

After experiencing two dangerous attacks by Mantua again, Carney wiped the rain off his head and called out to Liu Feng who was sitting under the shed on the bench.

"Maple! Go warm up."

Liu Feng didn't do any ink, got up and ran into the rain to start warming up. At this time, the game time had reached sixty minutes.

Five minutes later, Carney replaced Liu Feng on the field during a dead ball. Half a year after arriving in Italy, Liu Feng's height has increased from 178 to 180 due to a reasonable routine and nutritional intake. With such a height, in football,

In this sport, it is no longer very low.

Moreover, Carney has seen Liu Feng's amazing jumping ability in training matches more than once. Although such a venue greatly weakened Liu Feng's dribbling ability, Liu Feng was still able to give the team some help in this kind of high-altitude ball battle.

It brought a lot of help.

After clapping his hands with his replaced teammates, Liu Feng shook the rain off his head and plunged into the court.

In the fan gallery, when the Piacenza fans who followed the team away from home saw Super Maple, who had played so bravely in the last game, come on as a substitute again, they all cheered loudly.

Although this kind of bad weather and Manduwa, which is full of tall men, do not have high expectations for the victory of their home team, maybe this magical boy who has frequently created miracles in the reserve team can give the ball a try.

Teams bring change.

After all, this is a genius who can pass and shoot every time he makes his debut as a substitute.

So what did Liu Feng do after he came on the field?

First of all, it took him nearly five minutes to adapt to the increasingly dense rain. To be honest, Liu Feng has only played in a handful of rain games since he started playing football. He has never played in such a rainy season since coming to Italy.

I played football in the heavy rain.

This caused him to still handle football according to his own habits during the period when he first came on the field. As a result, he was robbed of the ball by arrogant and direct Mantua players twice in a row.

This made Liu Feng aware of the problem and he quickly made changes.

Modern football increasingly needs comprehensive football, which is not unreasonable, because the more comprehensive players are, the more they can exert their comprehensive characteristics in various extreme and different environments, that is, they are highly adaptable.

There is no doubt that Liu Feng is this kind of player. He quickly reduced the number of ground balls he took and began to snatch the ball from his opponents in several high-altitude ball battles.

However, because there are very few players in Piacenza who are good at headers, many times after fighting for the ball, except for the connection between Nainggolan, Cascia and Liu Feng, others still chose to pass the ball on the ground.

Therefore, the addition of Liu Feng only changed the situation on the court from Mantua completely suppressing Piacenza's half-court attack to both sides playing high-altitude passes in the midfield.

This obviously does not help the team win the game.

"El, this doesn't work!"

After another fight for the top, Liu Feng touched the rainwater on his face and shouted to Cassia who was not far away from him.

"Isn't that right! We have a problem now when we open the door."

Nainggolan came over at this time. His position was closer to the coaching bench just now. Carney called him to his side during the dead ball time and briefly explained a few words.

"Feng! Coach asked you not to be immersed in competing with the opponent for the top position."

"oh?"

"Leave the high-altitude ball handling to me and El. What we need is your ability to touch the ball with one foot."

The rain was so heavy that Liu Feng heard Nainggolan's messages intermittently. Thinking of his performance in the first game, he immediately understood Carney's arrangements.

Obviously, shooting with one touch of the ball has nothing to do with whether the ground is muddy or not. Therefore, what the head coach wants Liu Feng to do is to use his excellent sense of smell in front of the goal and ability to handle the ball to become the team's target.
