Chapter 482 Pressure and Power

The joy brought by the three consecutive wins was very great, and the players of Piacenza were very excited during the interactions with the fans after the game.

After the game, although Piacenza's ranking in front of Piacenza won the league in this round, Piacenza's ranking remained fourth in the league, but the gap between them and teams such as Sampdoria and Palermo who have been chasing behind them still widened.

Now that the Serie A game has entered the late half, the competition for the Champions League and Europa League qualifications has formed three distinct ladders. Inter Milan, the leader, followed closely behind Roma, is the first ladder, and they have thrown away the team behind them with a huge difference in points.

Then, Milan and Piacenza, who were third and fourth, and Mariners following them with three-point and four-point gaps respectively, were the second ladders, with Palermo and Juventus. If nothing unexpected happens, these teams will compete fiercely for the Champions League qualification at the end of the league.

As for the teams behind Juventus, most of them are more Buddhist mid-range teams. As long as they stay away from the relegation line, there is nothing to bother with those small clubs.

In short, Serie A's current ranking is no longer the situation where there will be huge changes after a round of league games in the first half of the season. Piacenza's current goal has been basically determined, that is, to hold on to the qualification to the Champions League.

Of course, most of these things are seen in the reports and analysis of major sports media. Piacenza, which will soon usher in the Champions League match after the match against Chivo, has no time to pay attention to it.

"Come on, do you want your opponent to see you like this on the court!!!"

On the second day of the league match day, Piacenza's training continued. Due to the proper rotation, the team's main players did not have much physical problems. Even so, Conte still had many unsatisfactory aspects on the training ground.

"Maple, Alberto, you need more running to disrupt the opponent's defense."

In the afternoon of the same day, Piacenza started a simulated training match before the official game. The reserve team coach Lucas brought the entire reserve team's main lineup to become the training target of Piacenzara.

"El, if you can't catch Wu anymore, I don't mind letting you sit on the bench tomorrow!"

"I understand coach!"

On the court, the score is already 4-1. The first team has enough strength to crush the reserve team. If Conte had not put some restrictions on what some players could do on the court, the score would have been even more disparity.

However, in this situation, the reserve team still scored a goal. Yes, the one who scored this goal was Wu Lei, who has now completely secured his feet in the reserve team's main lineup.

Wu Lei, who grew up under the joint training of Lucas and Francini since he came to Piacenza, is already a world of difference when he joined the club at the beginning of the season.

With hard work, he has quietly improved his ability to compete to the standard of the game, and his agile running position and smell in front of the goal were also maximized under the development of two youth training coaches. He followed a tall and strong center forward perfectly in this training game.

This made Scapelli, who was a little careless because his opponent was a junior in the reserve team, suffered frequently. If it weren't for Wu Lei's shooting ability under interference, their concealment wouldn't have been as simple as one.

Even so, Scapelli was already scolded by Conte on the sidelines. He didn't dare to be careless in the subsequent game and finally did not give Wu Lei another chance.

After all, it is easy to restrain the hit rate when it is disturbed.

The training match was soon announced to the end. Conte was roughly satisfied with the players' performance. After nodding, he handed over the remaining time to the players who were interacting with the reserve team.

Among them, Wu Lei, who scored a goal, was undoubtedly the player who was caught the most. Scapelli, who was struggling with his running position, had a headache. Liu Feng, who had been following him, came to him and chatted with him for a few words.

After encouraging Wu Lei to hone his shot, Conte summoned the players to the conference room and gathered whistle sounded, patted the shoulders of the compatriots in front of him, and Liu Feng smiled and waved goodbye to him.

Wu Lei, who knew very well what Liu Feng would do tomorrow, looked at Liu Feng's back and clenched his fists silently. After all, it was less than a year since he arrived in Piacenza, and he still had many things to be tempered, but he believed that one day in the future, he would definitely be the best helper standing by China Feng's side.

In the Piacenza conference room, Conte began to officially announce tomorrow's game formation and lineup. In the Champions League knockout round, just these simple five words mean huge pressure for Piacenza, who is now mostly young, and Conte is no exception.

Against this background, even at home, Conte did not intend to schedule an overly radical formation. Finally, after agreement with the coaching team, Piacenza's formation was positioned this time 4312.

This time, the defensive formation of the 4312 is not the same as the pure three-middle midfielder, but is more similar to the diamond midfielder that the team has tried before.

"Alberto and Feng are paired with two forwards, and Paul serves as the midfielder. You three will be the first line of the team's offense. I need you to run more aggressively in tomorrow's game."

"I understand coach!"

"Razha was the midfielder, Ramirez was on the left and Nocerino was on the right. You three can properly assist in the offense, but Razha, your priority is to protect the team's midfielder."

“Learn from the boss.”

"The four defenders on the back line, from left to right, are Vestery, Miranda, Scapelli and Wolfre. I hope you four will not disappoint me."

"Absolutely not!"

"Very good, then the goalkeeper is still Tanho."

After the team's starting list was announced, Conte also had time to say something else.

“I know for many of you, tomorrow’s event will be the biggest event you’ve ever experienced, and pressure is bound to exist, but I hope you can turn it into motivation and don’t forget the momentum we were in the group stage.”

"clear!"

"So, I will give me early rest after I go back tonight, and continue to gather here tomorrow. The whole morning will still be training time. As for the information I send to your opponent's core players, I hope you can take a closer look."

The battle was about to happen, and even Conte seemed a little talkative. After saying the words in his mouth, he paused before waved his hand and said nothing: "Now, disband!"

"roar!"
