Chapter 491: A chance to breathe
"Hat trick", "3-1 big win", "thirteen goals", when this fierce competition ended, major online news media immediately launched news on the Internet.
The physical media also began to prepare for publication as soon as they received the manuscript from their reporters. This game, which gave birth to a total of four goals, and Milan's 2-3 home match a day ago, dominated major sections of major media.
As for the front page, it is naturally left to the most brilliant player in these two games - China Maple.
The competition between teams is a competition between teams. Liu Feng, who truly showed his personal style in these two games, completed his second hat-trick in the Champions League and increased his goal count to thirteen, is definitely the first one.
Regardless of the media's interview invitations being sent to Joao, who is Liu Feng's agent, some Italian journalists were waiting outside the Piacenza training base in the following days.
Anyone knows that whoever can get the first-hand news of Super Maple can briefly capture the hearts of fans.
At this point, the Chinese media are unique. Through Li Peng's relationship, domestic media foreign journalists in Italy who did not take any action in the "Sun Shaobo incident" and even spoke out for Liu Feng under pressure were given the opportunity to interview.
Faced with these compatriots who are very friendly to him, Liu Feng can be said to have answered everything. In addition to the team's tactical secrets, through these media, domestic fans are eager to learn more about Liu Feng's mood and are greatly satisfied.
Some foreign media that have cooperated with domestic media have also begun to directly quote domestic news reports this time. The domestic media that has always only quoted others was proud.
With amazing performance and undisputed victory, Liu Feng embarked on the road to becoming a top star since he first appearance in Serie A. Now his exposure is even far greater than that of Ronaldo and Messi when he was at the same age.
"The third young superstar in the world football world is rising."
Of course, the above reports are more seen in domestic and Italian media in China. The top news traffic in other leagues still chose to remain calm after Liu Feng got the results of his attacks.
Zhongyong has suffered too many injuries in the world football world. The more he is an authoritative and famous media, the more he cherishes his feathers. This is understandable.
The popularity of this game lasted for a full week. It was not until the other two Champions League knockout rounds started that people's attention was moved away from it, and Piacenza and Liu Feng naturally could not keep their attention on it.
In fact, after winning the game, Piacenza had already returned to normal training.
This week, they are scheduled for a one-week double-game match. On Saturday, they will go to Sicily to challenge the Catania team, who is now in relegation.
At the end of the season in major leagues, there are two teams that are not easy to mess with. One is the league team that competes for the championship and the Champions League, and the other is the relegation team that is determined to stay in the top league.
Obviously, Catania, whose fouls have increased sharply after entering twenty rounds of the league, is the latter.
On the training ground of Piacenza, Conte was having a headache about the upcoming league. The battle with Bordeaux was definitely not as relaxed as some media described. At least the players in front of him were all declining very significantly.
One day of restorative training, two days of restorative training, three days after the end of that battle, the momentum of Piacenza's team was not good all day long, and Conte could only do his best to stimulate his players with chicken soup and roar.
Unfortunately, even Liu Feng, who has always been in a state of great stability, did not take the lead this time as usual.
At this point, Conte had to admit that his team members were really tired.
Professional football, playing games one after another, even if you only play in the league, the players' condition will not be much better by the end of the season, not to mention that Piacenza directly started the third-line battle schedule this season.
If the next Champions League and the Italian Cup were not played in late March a month later, Conte had a premonition that the team might really be facing a collapse.
Fortunately, in the next month, Piacenza, who resumed single-line combat, had a chance to breathe.
However, no matter how much he breathes, no one is willing to give up the game where he can score points. Therefore, Conte did not create a relaxed atmosphere for his players in daily training. He still scolds every lazy player with a stern face every day.
Against this backdrop, soon, the day before the game against Catania, the Piacenza team as always gathered in the team's conference room.
"I'm very dissatisfied with your status!"
The first sentence at the beginning made the players sitting in the audience lower their heads, and Conte's eyes swept across everyone like fire: "If you follow my standards, you can't get a starter in this game."
Conte was telling the truth. He made more than once in the team's lineup this time. Finally, he decided the final list after communicating with the members of the coaching staff.
"But you still have to play the game. Don't be complacent if you can enter the starting roster. You are just a little better than the players in the same position."
Without talking nonsense, Conte then read out the final list.
4312, this is Piacenza's formation. From the front to the back, Cassia and Liu Feng formed the team's forward line, Girardino became the front midfielder, Raymondie, Naingran and Nocerino became the team's three back midfielders.
On the defense line, except for Westerry, who was in a stable state, all the players in the other three positions were replaced. Astori and Bini became the defender combination, and Vitale became the team's right back.
As for the goalkeeper position, Maurantanho was once again pressed on the bench by Phuketoni during the Filipino Cup.
After the announcement of the roster, the team's tactical arrangements for this game were also stated by Conte. In fact, with such a 4312 formation, it is really not difficult to guess, it is a defensive counterattack.
But this time Conte emphasized completely different points from his previous ease of attitude. He repeatedly muttered in front of seven players who were asked to focus on defense: "Don't give the opponent a chance. In front of the penalty area, I ask you to kill all the opponent's threatening attacks, no matter what method is used!"
