Chapter 471: Recognize the reality
As the game got closer and closer, everything seemed to press the fast forward key. It didn't take long for Piacenza to get off at the parking lot of the Blue Italian Stadium to when they came to the stadium to start warming up.
"Shhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Amid the booing from all directions, Piacenza's warm-up was still in an orderly manner, and the players who had already focused all on the game themselves did not even look at them when the home team entered the court.
Soon, after the warm-up, Piacenza returned to the locker room under Conte's leadership, where they will give their last tactical explanation before the game.
"The above is what you must pay attention to after you come on stage."
Conte's speech was unexpectedly brief, and after simply recounting the team's tactics arranged by the team, he looked up at the players: "I hope you can let me see the attitude you deserve on the court."
“Learn from the coach!”
The rest of the time is naturally left to the players to arrange freely. The starting players who lowered their heads took advantage of this last moment to start taking various ways to prepare for their own mood.
The staff did not ask them to wait too long. After more than ten minutes, the door of the locker room was knocked.
"It will win!"
"It will win!"
With a roar, Liu Feng, who was the first to stand up and walk to the door, shouted all the slogans before the game quite briefly, and the teammates behind him had no objection to this. After a loud roar, the group came to the player passage with pride.
Next to them, the owner of the stadium, Atlanta, had already stood up, and the members of the two teams showed great hostility as soon as they saw each other.
For them who have the only goal of winning, it is a waste to say one more word to the opponent who is destined to fight against themselves.
"Okay, come in!"
After the air briefly solidified, the voice of the referee on duty broke all this, and as he took the lead in stride towards the court, the two teams followed closely behind.
"Hello CCTV, CCTV, audience, welcome to watch the 23rd round of the 2009-2010 Serie A match against Piacenza."
On the court, the captains of the two teams had already come to the referee, and Liu Jianhong's voice also sounded at this moment: "I am the commentator Liu Jianhong."
This is a league game that is played at 10 o'clock in the afternoon of Beijing time, which is not too late for most people. Therefore, there are many fans gathered in front of TVs or large screens in China at this moment.
Under the gaze of attention, Liu Feng, who chose the kick-off right, had already walked towards the kick-off point with the ball.
"In the first leg of the Italian Cup semi-finals three days ago, Piacenza lost to Roma 1-2 away, which has a great blow to the morale of this team. I wonder if this negative impact will continue in this game."
While there was still some time, Liu Jianhong chatted for a few words to express his concerns, but soon, after everything was ready, he completely put all his attention back on the court.
"Shh!!!"
"The referee whistle sounded, and the game began!"
Cassia pushed the ball to Liu Feng, and Liu Feng turned around and passed it back to Naingran. Naingran carried the ball and then passed the ball to Nocerino who was inserted. Piacenza's series of passes were very smooth after the start of the game, but not much revealed the team's tactical style.
"You can see that the formations of the two teams have been unfolded. Piacenza has arranged a 4213 formation. This can be said to be a formation that is both offensive and defensive. Oh~, Naingran got the ball again and passed with a kick. Piacenza launched the first attack."
Compared to his attitude when he was with Roma, Piacenza performed quite positively in this game. After spending the opening minutes of the ball possession, the team took the lead in launching a test against his opponent.
As Liu Feng, who received a pick pass from Naingran, passed the ball to Cassia's feet as soon as he received the opportunity, Piacenza's forward combination quickly advanced along the midfield hinterland of Atlanta.
"Casia resisted Gorichi behind him. His strong physical ability makes him very suitable for the fulcrum of the offense. Oh~, the ball was distributed to Aubameyang on the right, and Aubameyang started to speed up!"
The continuation of the offense step by step was very smooth in Liu Jianhong's eyes, even if Aubameyang quickly encountered an opponent's midfielder's block after starting up.
"The bicycle skills in high-speed propulsion have broken through from the left! Aubameyang made full use of his speed advantage, passed the ball, and passed it straight with one kick!"
I have to say that the Piacenza players entered the game in this game at a very fast speed, but they were still a little bit less than the hot feet.
"A Feng! He shook Barreto away and shot directly!!!"
"Swish!"
A clear and audible sound of breaking wind came from the crossbar above the head of Atlanta goalkeeper Concili, who was leaping high. Liu Feng's first shot in this game did not bring the best effect to the team's blitz.
"Oh, what a pity, A Feng's shot was of quite high quality, only a little bit short of it."
Liu Jianhong and the Piacenza fans were naturally very sorry at this moment. In their opinion, if Liu Feng's feet felt a little hotter, the team would not have a problem with scoring the goal in the five minutes of the game again.
In comparison, Atlanta players and fans were in a completely opposite mood. After a cold sweat, Atlanta no longer dared to be arrogant. After the team drove the ball out with a goal, this team, like Inter Milan, who was wearing a blue and black jersey, showed their formation.
"4312, if nothing unexpected happens in this game, Atlanta should have chosen to play defensive counterattacks, which coincides with another Blue and Black Army."
As Liu Jianhong continued to evaluate the changes in the situation on the field, the game began to unfold bit by bit.
Since Liu Feng's kick started, Piacenza's shots that threatened the goal during the offense continued to come. In the next twenty minutes, Cassia and Aubameyang also gave each shots that passed by the goal.
Atlanta, which was originally in a state of great morale to win the game, finally realized the reality. Although their opponents had gone through a big battle not long ago, they were definitely not at the point where they were in a big decline.
The thirty minutes at the beginning of the game also made many media fans who thought that Piacenza would be very difficult before the game slowly change their views.
Chapter completed!
