Chapter 470 Atlanta's Logic
The next day, when the Piacenza team members gathered at the training base again, the expressions on everyone's faces still did not improve much, which made Conte a little helpless.
Compared to Conte, who had experienced too many hardships and losses, the group of young people in front of him, who were less than 24 years old, really need exercise in psychological adjustment.
"I know you're still caring about the failure yesterday, but I have to tell you a bad news, that is, the day after tomorrow, we will set out to play in the league again."
Shaking his head, seeing that everyone couldn't even get excited in training, Conte decided to put some hard medicine.
"I believe you all know the decline in the team's league rankings, so whether it is the team's need to stay in the Champions League or the strength of the opponent in this game, all I want is victory! So when the roster is confirmed tomorrow, people who still have a low face make people feel that there is no fighting spirit will stay at home."
You are so sad, so don’t play the game anymore, just cry at home. Although this logic is a bit too strict, it is still very effective from the subsequent reactions of the players present.
It is one thing to lose a key game, and it is another thing to be a professional player who should cherish every opportunity to play.
Conte's request is already very clear. He will not let anyone bring the defeat into the next game on the court, so everyone will understand what to do.
So, after Conte said this, Piacenza's training status quickly changed. No matter whether it was to hold on or what, at least everyone returned to their passionate posture during the two days of training.
In fact, if there is enough time to adjust, Conte wants the players to come out slowly by themselves. Unfortunately, the schedule of two away games a week and only two days apart is not allowed.
Time flies, and two days are insignificant. When Piacenza's players sat in the conference room again waiting for the head coach to announce the game list, the 23rd round of the league was already in front of them.
"Feng, Cassia, and Pierre serve as three strikers."
Conte, standing in front of the players, reported one by one the players who finally met his condition requirements. Girardino, who had experienced the battle this time, did not appear on the team's starting line list.
"Razan was the front midfielder, and Nocerino and Raymondie were the double midfielder."
Conte, who was already afraid of the consequences of being on the field, chose to strengthen the thickness of defense in this arrangement. After the arrangement of the double midfielders, Piacenza's formation was determined to be 4213.
"The four defenders are Vitale, Miranda, Astori and Caporoso."
Compared with the starting list of the last game, Piacenza has undergone significant changes in the personnel on the back line. Except for Astori who continued to stay on the back line due to his good condition, all three positions have been replaced.
"Although the opponent's offense will not be as fierce as Rome in this game, you must not take it lightly."
"I understand coach!"
"Then the goalkeeper is, Tanho."
“Okay boss!”
There was no pause in the series of arrangements. It was obvious that Conte and his coaching staff had already determined the list based on the status of the players in advance. Conte paused after the last position was announced before continuing to speak.
"I have said before that all I want in this game is victory. Everyone who starts must do my best, and the substitutes are also ready for me!"
"clear!"
"Okay, then disband now and gather in the parking lot at 9 o'clock tomorrow!"
...
When Piacenza left Piacenza for the second time in a week with the fans' faraway city of Bergamo was already crowded.
Atlanta's performance this season is very similar to Rome, with an equally unbearable start and a warming state.
If there is any difference, Roma took less than ten rounds to reach the second place in the league, but Atlanta began to walk down after returning to the right track.
The coach of this team led the team to lose four games at the beginning of the season. If there were no good replacements, the club's senior management would have dismissed him long ago.
Fortunately, after some subsequent changes, the team's condition has warmed up, but after twenty rounds, it began to decline again.
Unlike Piacenza, who had just experienced three consecutive draws in the league, Atlanta has achieved a clean three-game losing streak in the past three rounds of the league. Yes, there is not even a single goal.
But it has to be said that the football atmosphere in Italy is really strong. Atlanta fans did not accuse their team of teams because of this. They even pointed out a clear path to the team with local sports media.
For example, Piacenza has never won in the past four games, and he lost the game after a fierce battle with Roma in the last game. This will inevitably have a low momentum.
However, Piacenza has become a big name in Serie A in the past two years. So, if the team can defeat this round of the league, they might be able to climb up like Rome.
This logic is naturally nonsense to the fans of Piacenza, but the entire city of Bergamo has really been revived because of it.
Countless fans who were expecting the team to regain their strength at home in this round began to set up the streets early in the morning. Countless blue and black flags were hung up, and both sides of the street were also filled with fans who were preparing to give Piacenza a first move.
So, after the Piacenza bus arrived at the city after a trek, the team members on the bus were instantly drowned out by huge boos.
"Shit! Are we being hostile to other teams now?"
Cassia, who was sitting by the window, frowned and spoke: "This is not much less than the sound in Rome."
"Come on, Cassia, they just want their team to win."
Naingran, who was standing by, shrugged: "After all, their three-game losing streak is much more uncomfortable than us."
"Then the fans will feel even more uncomfortable after this game." Cassia was amused when he heard Naingran's words: "You know that in this game, we will start to send them another defeat."
"Haha, nothing wrong!"
The two did not deliberately conceal the conversation between the two. The players of the Grand Buri heard it very clearly, but no one expressed objection to Cassia's confident words, because what he said was exactly the purpose of everyone in Piacenza coming here this time.
After a loss, the team urgently needs a victory to revive the momentum.
