On New Year's Eve, Chen Xu's restaurant became a place for a group of wanderers from far away to celebrate the Spring Festival.

Although many of them met for the first time, with Antonio and Lisa, two people who are good at lively atmosphere, laughter soon spread from time to time among the group of people. As the New Year's bell rang, Liu Feng and Chen Xu

Returned Yuan Xiao and his party to the hotel where they lived.

This day is a festival of great significance to the Chinese, but to Italy, it is just one of countless ordinary days.

People don't give extra holidays to Chinese people in Italy, so tomorrow, they all have their own things to do. Liu Feng will continue to go back to training, and Yuan Xiao and Lisa will return to school.

However, there was still something that filled Liu Feng with happiness. After sending Yuan Xiao to the door of the hotel where he lived, he received a hug from a girl for the first time. It was a fleeting moment, but it made both of them double-crossed.

A blushing hug.

Ignoring Lisa who was whistling beside her, Yuan Xiao ran back to the room in three steps. Liu Feng timidly touched his head and smelled the scent left on his body. In this Italian night

, he felt as if he was drunk and a little dizzy.

Sitting in Chen Xu's car, Liu Feng returned to the restaurant and went back to his room to sleep. This night was the safest and most comfortable sleep he had since arriving in Italy.

The next day, when Liu Feng came to the training ground, he received New Year's greetings from his teammates.

Listening to Scarpelli's particularly loud and strange tune, Liu Feng smiled and patted him on the shoulder. Then, as Carney patted his hands, the team's day's training began as usual.

When the day's training entered the final stage, Carney frowned and looked at the training match taking place on the field.

The main players who were out of shape made him quite anxious. He could clearly feel that in addition to physical problems, the players involuntarily exuded an atmosphere of comfort.

This reminded Carney of last season, when he served as Iachini's deputy and the overall atmosphere of the team when the team faced the last opponent in the promotion play-offs.

This is an emotion that will inevitably arise after a long period of failure.

Carney knew that it was difficult to change something based on his own words, but that was all he could do, so after the training match, he gathered all the players together and gave them a scolding, hoping that

It can cheer them up a little bit.

"Look at how you look! Do you want to repeat the same mistakes as in the first half? If you can't keep your spirits up, how can we win the game!"

"Coach, don't we still have Feng..."

"Shit! Aren't you a part of the team? Don't you feel ashamed of only relying on one teammate to win through exhaustion?"

Carney was devastated after a player muttered under his breath during his coaching session.

He pointed at Liu Feng, who was wiping the sweat from his forehead: "Feng's physical condition is already very bad! Don't always try to ask a junior who is only 18 years old to save you."

Looking at the 25-6 year old players who are in their prime, Carney kept saying: "Feng has done a lot for the team, so in the next game, in order to protect Liu Feng, he will take a rest.

"

"ah!"

"What?"

This rotation arrangement directly caused the team members to talk about it. No one could have expected that the head coach would make such a decision. After all, Liu Feng's performance in the previous four rounds was so amazing. They thought Liu Feng would be stable.

Occupy a dominant position.

"Feng, what you have to do in the next time is to have a good rest, and I will help you rearrange the intensity of your training."

Carney took out a table and said to the reluctant Liu Feng that yesterday the team doctor did a comprehensive examination of Liu Feng's body and finally gave Carney a report, which clearly stated Liu Feng's

The physical condition has reached a critical point.

The so-called critical point means that if Liu Feng is allowed to compete as high-intensity as the previous two games, this young genius is likely to encounter some problems.

Although it may be just a small situation, Carney is still unwilling to take this risk.

There are too few players that he can use that can change the situation of the game, so he must be cautious and cautious. After all, the league is not a place to watch one or two highlight performances. What is important here is that players can steadily provide help to the team.

Piacenza's ranking has reached eighth place after the team was undefeated for four rounds. This has completely exceeded Carney's expectations after taking over the team, so he has enough capital and courage to adjust the team's ranking.

Soldiers in formation.

And after Liu Feng explained to himself in private the reason why he was given a rest, Liu Feng no longer had any objections.

In recent days, he did feel that his leg muscles were a little stiff, and it would be good to take a rest.

During this time, the redispensed medicines given by grandpa have not yet been sent, so Liu Feng, who is only relying on his own recovery power, is obviously unable to keep up with the consumption rate of the competition.

After a brief moment of surprise, the teammates quickly accepted the decision made by the head coach.

After all, the team is a place where people come and go. Many times, partners who have played together for many years may separate after a summer window, let alone a player who has only played together for four games.

Moreover, before Liu Feng came to the team, they were playing well.

Anyway, the result is that after Liu Feng was decided to rest, the team's lineup was adjusted from 442 to 4231. Scarpelli, who has been the team's regular substitute, finally got the opportunity to start.

After the lineup adjustment, Nainggolan was pushed to the attacking midfielder position, while Scarpelli and Padalino paired up as a double defensive midfielder.

The center is still played by Cassia, who is physically strong and has excellent headers. The left and right wingers are played by the team's two main wide players, Tomas Guzman and Alessio Miglia. The center back and full back lineups have not changed much.

.

The above is Piacenza's lineup to face its rival Brescia, which ranks at the top of the league in terms of goals scored.

When the team's roster was announced, it aroused confusion among many fans and media, because no matter how they searched, they could not find the word Liu Feng on the starting list or substitute list.

However, after the head coach of Piacenza made an understatement about taking a break during the press conference, and after the camera caught Liu Feng talking and laughing with a beautiful girl in the auditorium without seeing anything unhappy, people's attention focused on

Back to the game itself.
