Leisure days are always short, and a day's holiday is not long. When Piacenza's players gathered at the training base again, the day to prepare for the Champions League came.

For any team that is determined to increase its influence and number of fans around the world, the Champions League is a top-notch stage. Only by passing the slash in one step can you gain the greatest exposure.

Therefore, when Conte stood in front of the smiling players of the team with a stern face, everyone knew that the next time would not be too relaxed.

The match between Piacenza and Bordeaux will be held next Thursday. Except for the time the team needs to go to Bordeaux one day in advance to rest, there is not much training time left for them.

After the team had been leisurely spending nearly a month, Conte did not give them any more opportunities to relax, and simply pulled the team's training intensity to the fullest.

Every day, in addition to completing normal training tasks, Piacenza has to spend two to three hours practicing tactical exercises. Although many tactics are just replicas of the team's past tactics, the saying that practice makes perfect is often very effective.

"Start up! Speed ​​up!!! El, stop Feng!"

From the players' running and pressing and attacking, to the team's defensive positioning and grabbing points, Conte, who has been walking back and forth on the training ground, has almost no idea to relax the players.

At this rhythm, at the end of each day's training, all the players in Piacenza were sweating profusely.

Even Liu Feng, who has always been accustomed to practicing a set of free kicks after training, has stopped in the past few days because Conte has arranged corresponding special training for each person's abilities in daily training.

Try your best during training and relax fully after training. This is all Conte's requirements for the team in less than a week.

The whole team was immersed in this state, and in this way, time became an unimportant thing. When everyone wiped away the sweat from their heads and walked off the court, the whistle of Conte summoning the players to the conference room quietly rang.

In a blink of an eye, the game is approaching. Piacenza will fly to Bordeaux far away in France tomorrow morning, and then challenge the opponent who is at home that night.

Now, when Conte stood in front of all the players, the exciting announcement of the starter and roster stage began.

"We don't need to play very aggressively in this game, so the formation is as follows."

Clicking on the big screen, the diamond midfielder that Piacenza players have gradually become familiar with - the layout of 41212. This is the most stable lineup that Conte has determined after testing so many times.

"Then, starting from the front line, the center of this game is Girardino, and Feng serves as the shadow striker."

The combination of the two forwards actually has little choice for Piacenza. In recent days of training, Girardino has performed very well, and he is naturally selected as a more comprehensive player than Cassia. As for Liu Feng, except for necessary circumstances, he has almost never left the team's starting list.

Then, there was a list of four midfielders, from the front to the back, Conte arranged all of them in the best form at the moment.

Front midfielder Gansuo, left midfielder Ramirez, right midfielder Nocerino, back midfielder Naingran, has to be said that the main players are the main players, and they can always steadily occupy the coach's sight at critical moments.

After Conte pronounced the names of the four people, the four people were naturally very excited and loudly echoed the coach's trust.

As for the defense line, Miranda, who is experienced and Scapelli, who is in relatively better shape, became the team's double center backs. As for the left and right sides, Westerry and Vitale were respectively, and Wolfre, who performed relatively poorly in training in recent days, has been on the bench.

"Then, the goalkeeper continues to be Tanho."

In the end, all the players who will start in tomorrow's game appeared on the big screen. Overall, there was not much difference. The players were very clear about each other's performance in training.

"The opponent will definitely recover the score at home. I don't think I need to remind you specifically of the cruelty of the knockout stage?"

"No coaching required!"

"Very good, then disband now, everyone will give me a good rest, and everyone who will be on the list tomorrow morning will gather here on time!"

"clear!"

...

For Piacenza, who held a 3-1 score at home, this night was not a difficult night. Most of the players fell asleep with excitement and excitement.

The night passed by. When the entire Piacenza team, who were ready to go, took the team's bus to Milan International Airport, it was already the next morning.

Amid the shouts of fans who could not follow the team to go on a journey, Piacenza embarked on the journey.

Arriving at Milan International Airport, boarded the club-packed plane and soared into the sky. In just two hours, the plane that had already flown into France began to land.

The development of modern transportation has made the earth smaller and smaller, which is a great benefit for players who need to cross national expeditions. Due to the similar time zones, the entire Piacenza team does not even need to make any time difference after getting off the plane.

The players who took the local bus hired by the club to the hotel were more curiously watching the city of Bordeaux, which is very different from Italy.

The medieval castles can be seen everywhere, and the wine brand stores that can be called famous at a glance. This commercial town in southwestern France is much more prosperous than the city of Piacenza, which is just a livable town.

Although today's game was held in the evening, the streets were surrounded by fans who were painted with Bordeaux team color paint on their faces or raised the Bordeaux flag in their hands.

After seeing the bus in Piacenza pass by, they all sent huge boos without any mercy.

Obviously, Bordeaux's home defeat at Piacenza in the first leg made fans remember this Italian team. In this game, Piacenza not only had to face head-on with his opponents, but also had to resist the overwhelming pressure from home fans.

Soon, the Piacenza team arrived at the hotel booked by the club. The players entered the room in an orderly manner and then had a brief rest.

Although there was still some time before the game began, Conte still made the decision to lead the team to the stadium to warm up in the afternoon, which made time a little tight for everyone.

After the simple rest, the players quickly started to have lunch, and the rhythm of the entire team couldn't help but get faster.
Chapter completed!
