Chapter 74: Out of Control Rhythm
After the kick-off again, the referee directly blew the halftime whistle. Piacenza entered the halftime break with the joy of getting back one goal, while the atmosphere of their opponent Modena seemed a bit low.
This time, Carney didn't say too much in the locker room. From the rainy battle with Mantua to the tough battle with Ascoli, the players were not in very good condition. He couldn't always rely on chicken blood to make things better.
The players were excited. The game went into midfield and generally followed his ideas, so there was no need for him to say anything superfluous.
After pointing out some of the players' tactical mistakes, Carney slightly adjusted the team's lineup and spread the positions of Liu Feng and Cassia a little further, giving Liu Feng greater depth for his hidden style of play.
space.
Soon the second half of the game started. The eyes of the Modena players who came out of the locker room were filled with anger. It was obvious that their head coach Apolloni had greatly incited the players' emotions in the locker room. After all, this was theirs.
At home, they have no reason to let the away team steal the show here.
After the game restarted, the tension between the two teams obviously intensified. Modena's defense against Piacenza was no longer as clean as it was in the first half. Players from the two teams argued over fouls from time to time.
"The rhythm of the game is not going right." Fabio frowned as he looked at the scene on the court: "It is not a good thing to have constant small conflicts."
In fact, this is indeed the case. Many large-scale riots on the stadium are caused by the accumulation of small conflicts.
Now the offense and defense of Modena and Piacenza are obviously no longer smooth on the court. Players from both sides also complain angrily to the referee from time to time because of the other party's rude fouls. Slowly, the referee who whistled the game became the whole audience.
main character.
Every time when players from both sides collide, fans from both sides will let out huge boos to put pressure on the referee. It is obvious that this referee, who is not a top referee, is greatly affected by the home fans. Some of them can be praised or not.
For fouls, Piacenza was whistled for many more times than Modena.
"Fuck!" Nainggolan, who had a bad temper, argued with the referee to no avail after being pulled down, then turned around and cursed secretly. Playing like this is really annoying.
"Racha, control it."
In the 55th minute of the game, Piacenza's young left back Michel was injured in a collision, and veteran Lorenzo Danna came on as a substitute.
He took on the captain's armband as soon as he came on the field. During this period, Piacenza's players have been able to control their emotions and not conflict with each other, which has a lot to do with Lorenzo's timely reminder.
"I know Dana, but the opponent obviously doesn't want to play football well!"
Lorenzo looked at the excited Nainggolan in front of him and put his hands down: "I understand, but if we choose to be like them, we won't be able to play well."
"All right……"
Nainggolan was not the first player to be comforted by Lorenzo. Cassia, who was already covered in turf in the frontcourt of Piacenza, even almost got into a fight with the opponent's central defender, but he arrived in time to pull him away.
Only when I came back did I avoid the fate of being carded.
Lorenzo frowned and looked at the referee who was sweating on his forehead. Obviously, if this continues, no one can say what the situation will be like. In the eyes of Lorenzo, who has played in Serie A for several years, this is an unhappy game.
The referee's ability to control the rhythm of the game is really not very good.
"Peng!"
Another Piacenza attack, Cassia relied on the Modena defender at the top of the penalty area to pass his teammate's pass to the right to Nainggolan. After hearing Liu Feng's call behind him, Nainggolan used
With a flick of his heel, Liu Feng received the pass and broke into the penalty area.
Then, Modena's central defender Adomani directly chose to tackle, knocking the ball and the player to the ground with one kick.
The nearby Piacenza players quickly turned around to look for the referee, only to find that the referee had made a gesture indicating that the game should continue.
"wtf!"
Nainggolan roared to express his dissatisfaction. He was about to argue with the referee, but he found that the central defender who had shoveled Liu Feng and was still not standing up actually took the ball and started to organize Modena's counterattack.
With a reckless tackle, Nainggolan knocked Adomani down, stood up, shrugged and walked towards his own half without even looking at him.
If Adomani's tackle on Liu Feng just now was still open to question as to whether it was a foul, then Nainggolan's tackle at this moment was pure revenge. No one could not see it, including the referee who was almost crying.
He blew the whistle and took out a yellow card at Nainggolan's back.
"That's not fair!"
Lorenzo quickly ran over and asked Padalino to bring Nainggolan back to his own half. He angrily approached the referee and pointed at the man who was slowly getting up after Adomani fell to the ground and was helped by Cassia.
Liu Feng: "That tackle in the penalty area just now should obviously be a penalty kick!"
"..." The referee looked at Lorenzo, whose eyes were wide open, and was speechless for a while. He held it back for a while and said: "If you have any objections to my penalty, you can react after the game."
Lorenzo laughed. Such words were no different from farting. He knew that there was no use in putting pressure on the referee.
"Feng! How are you?" Lorenzo asked with concern as he ran to Liu Feng's side.
"fine."
Liu Feng had no expression at this time, and the iconic smile that always hung on his face completely disappeared at this moment: "Go back to the game."
Cassia and Lorenzo looked worried at Liu Feng who was a little abnormal in front of them, but they didn't know what to say.
Modena won a free kick in front of their own penalty area. Their goalkeeper stood in front of the ball and kicked the ball away.
And Adomani, who was rolling on the ground one second after being tackled by Nainggolan, and then resurrected and stood up with full health when he saw Nainggolan taking a card, was looking at him with a proud look on his face.
Not far away, Liu Feng said: "Hey! Chinese, if you want to fight with me, you are still a little bit greener."
"What did you just say?" Liu Feng raised his head after hearing Adomani's provocation and looked at Adomani in front of him expressionlessly.
"Haha, I said, you're done!" Adomani obviously wanted to use trash talk to completely explode Liu Feng, who had been knocked over by him several times, so he continued to use words to provoke him.
"Shabi." Liu Feng obviously didn't accept the move and replied with two short words in Chinese, leaving Adomani with a dismissive expression before turning around and running away.
