Chapter 80 Just as Strong

The second half of the game kicked off, Brescia continued their offensive, but this time, something was different.

When Caracciolo and Tade once again tried to break through Scarpelli's point, he was chewed up.

When Caracciolo got up in confusion, all he saw was a figure running away gracefully. This time, there was no foul in the tackle.

"Wow, a great tackle from Scarpelli. It's hard to imagine his disastrous performance in the first half."

Fabio was quite surprised by Scarpelli's beautiful defense. After the start, he was expressing his doubts about Carney not replacing the young player.

In a normal game, when a head coach faces a player who caused the entire team to collapse in the first half, the most appropriate way to deal with it is to replace him.

Unexpectedly, Carney trusted this player so much, and Scarpelli's performance was so outstanding.

Brescia's head coach also looked at what was happening on the field in disbelief.

He didn't understand why the little guy who was almost defeated in the first half suddenly seemed to be a different person after the intermission.

However, it was obvious that Scarpelli was in no mood to explain to him.

Piacenza's formation changed beyond everyone's expectations. Scarpelli suddenly seemed like a different person after taking up the role of single midfielder.

The avalanche that everyone thought did not happen, but Brescia's two-forward combination was choked by Scarpelli alone.

"pretty!"

Once again, in a violent grab for the ball, Brescia's thin forward Tade was directly knocked over by Scarpelli.

Liu Feng was very happy to see El's performance in the stands. While discussing the situation with Yuan Xiao, he cheered for his teammates.

Gradually, Piacenza's defense formed a solid whole with Scarpelli as the core.

This was something no one expected, including Carney and other teammates.

In Carney's mind, it would be enough as long as Scarpelli's performance in the second half was not as disastrous as in the first half. He did not expect the team's defense to be supported by his sudden explosion.

This is true even for the head coach, let alone other teammates.

Lorenzo was also substituted in the 65th minute of the game.

Relying on the rare tacit understanding between him and Scarpelli, the pair of teammates, who were both teachers and friends, finally completely killed Brescia's offensive opportunities.

Although Brescia's head coach was a little puzzled, he was not in a hurry.

The game has reached nearly seventy minutes. Even if Piacenza stabilizes its defense, it will never pose any threat to its own team.

So, let's focus on the frontcourt.

When Padalino linked up with Nainggolan and Cascia, Piacenza's backcourt, which stabilized the defense through explosions, began to continuously send him the ball.

Padalino, as the main player in the team, is quite capable. He does not have Nainggolan's unique physical condition, but he has more refined skills.

In fact, in the first team, before Liu Feng was called up to the first team, Padalino was the most skilled player in the team.

After getting the ball, Padalino completed a Marseille spin directly near the center circle and easily got out between the two Brescia players.

After adjusting his center of gravity, which was a bit unstable due to the impact, Padalino then kicked the ball to Cassia, who was reaching for the ball in front.

When Cassia received the pass, he was stuck by Brescia's defender. He directly blocked the opponent with his back, and then pushed the ball from the left side of the penalty area line to a gap on the right side.

A figure wearing Piacenza's No. 14 jersey instantly appeared and directly chose to shoot.

"Whoa!"

When Fabio was still praising Piacenza's wonderful counterattack.

When Brescia's players have not yet changed from the team's pressing situation.

Nainggolan, who started practicing long-range shooting in the first half and had communicated with Liu Feng countless times in the reserve team, scored the team's first goal of the game.

This is a powerful long-range shot. The speed of the ball is like a cruise missile, which cannot be blocked by human power.

The Brescia goalkeeper shook his head and reluctantly fished the ball out from behind. Scarpelli quickly ran over and took it away.

The Piacenza team's celebration was quite brief, so brief that even their own fans did not react.

At this time, every player in the team could think of the scene of Liu Feng silently picking up the ball against Ascoli.

Subtly, this Chinese player has really left a lot of influence on the team.

In contrast, Brescia, who was walking on the court and did not stand up for the kick-off, seemed a bit...

Finally, after repeated urging from Piacenza's players, the Brescia players, who tried to use the dead ball to delay time, took the ball leisurely.

At this moment, the game time has reached seventy-eight minutes.

After Caracciolo and Tade failed again at the feet of Scarpelli and Lorenzo, Brescia's head coach decisively replaced one of the two forwards and replaced him with a defensive midfielder.

At the same time, the players pressed out by Brescia were also ordered to be recovered.

Obviously, Brescia, with a score of 3:1, is ready to spend the remaining time by bus.

Being two goals behind, we still have to face the defense of a team whose overall strength is not weaker than ours, or even stronger.

The fans in Piacenza were a little desperate, but they still chose to cheer for the team by waving their scarves and flags.

So, how can the team members who have just gotten into shape slack off?

This was the most exciting ten minutes of the game. Although there was no Super Maple, Piacenza still played an excellent offense.

They continued to use Nainggolan's long shots, Casia's headers and even Padalino's skills to attack Brescia's goal.

For a while, Brescia fans kept screaming.

The game entered stoppage time, and Piacenza's continuous attacks finally bore fruit.

In the third minute of stoppage time, Piacenza's left player Marco made a pass. The ball was grabbed by Cassia and then headed over.

Padalino, who came in from behind Nainggolan, took the opportunity to swipe the ball, but the ball did not fly into the goal, but hit the crossbar.

Just as the Piacenza fans and Fabio were sighing, Scarpelli appeared in front of the ball that bounced out of the small penalty area.

"Bang!"

Scarpelli almost threw his whole body away, dribbling the ball and flying into the goal.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!"

At this moment, Scarpelli completed his redemption.

After this goal was born, the time of the game also came to the end.

In the end, the game ended with Piacenza 2:3 Brescia, and Piacenza suffered its first defeat since the start of the second half.

Although Piacenza without Liu Feng lost the game as expected by most media, anyone who paid attention to this game understood that Piacenza's overall strength was no longer different from the previous one.

Halfway through.
