Chapter 81 Wait and see
After the game against Brescia, the Piacenza team did not rest.
Because according to the game schedule, the next round of games will be played in four days, so after the game, head coach Carney asked all players to report to the training venue on time the next day.
During the break, Liu Feng not only watched the team's games with Yuan Xiao, but also finally received the traditional Chinese medicine package mailed from China by his grandfather half a month ago.
In the past few days, with the help of the medicine jar that Chen Xu pulled out from nowhere, Liu Feng brewed enough medicine for a period of time.
By soaking in the medicine every day, Liu Feng clearly felt that his legs and feet were no longer as stiff as before after resting for several days.
All in all, Liu Feng felt that he had reached the standard that he could represent the team again, and the team's doctor conducted a simple examination on him again and indicated to Carney that there was no problem.
So in the team's subsequent training, Liu Feng resumed the training intensity that he had reduced for many days.
He was in pretty good shape after scoring several goals in consecutive days of training matches.
And while he scored these goals, Scarpelli, who finally thought that his strength had improved and could compete with Liu Feng, began to doubt his life again.
To be honest, after Scarpelli experienced the game against Brescia, the changes were visible to the naked eye.
If in the first team before, he still held the idea that he was a younger brother and was far inferior to the seniors in the team, now he is undoubtedly full of confidence.
This kind of self-confidence may not have improved his physical function and experience, but it has actually raised his performance on the court to a higher level.
Now his position has been changed from central defender to defensive midfielder by Carney. In the training match, he performed well in defending Liu Feng.
Although it still failed to stop Liu Feng from averaging one goal per game in training matches, the players in his group could clearly feel that the threat posed by Liu Feng was much smaller.
At the same time, within the team, after Piacenza's players lost the last round of games, the proud atmosphere generated after the team was undefeated in four rounds was wiped out.
Everyone realizes that there are too many strong opponents they have to face in the league, and a small-stage winning streak really means nothing.
In the Serie B standings, Piacenza's ranking even dropped directly from eighth to 11th after losing a round of games. It can be imagined how fierce the competition among Serie B teams is this season.
If you can't cheer up, trying to get into a position where you can participate in the promotion play-offs is simply a fantasy.
Carney was so satisfied with the team's transformation that the day before the game, when he stood in front of the players, he even showed them a smile he rarely showed on the training ground.
"The squad for the next game will now be announced."
Holding a form, Carney coughed twice.
By working with his coaching staff to compile the recent competitive status of the team's players into a digitized form, he selected a series of players who will go to the away game with him.
The first thing Carney mentioned were players who were stable starters. Most of these players were in their prime and relatively stable in all aspects.
Immediately afterwards, several veterans of the team were also included in the squad. Obviously, a group of veterans headed by Lorenzo will travel with the team as necessary substitutes for the team.
"Then, the remaining three are Scarpelli, Liu Feng, and Gadri."
For away games, the team will only bring seventeen players. The previous series of names have already occupied fourteen places. The players who were not mentioned looked at the head coach nervously. Carney immediately announced the final three players.
.
"Everyone has a chance to enter the starting lineup, which will be determined by your status tomorrow!" After speaking, Carney signaled the players to disperse, then turned and left.
"Haha, that's great Maple!"
Although it had been expected that Liu Feng would re-enter the roster in this round, Scarpelli was still very happy and he directly put his arms around Liu Feng's neck.
"Ahem, El, be gentle!" Liu Feng didn't show too much excitement. Based on his performance in the first four rounds, it would be strange if he couldn't make the squad.
After opening Scarpelli's hand, Liu Feng lowered his head and fiddled with the ball at his feet. In the last round of the league, watching his teammates fight on the field in the audience made him feel quite itchy. This time he returned to
The big list must perform well...
The next day, the entire Piacenza team gathered at the training ground and took the team bus to the San Nicola Stadium in Bari.
Bari Club is also a club with a very long history.
At the end of the 20th century, they relied on the talented boy Cassano they trained to stay in Serie A for four consecutive seasons until they were relegated to Serie B in 2001.
After experiencing ups and downs in the second division, Barry began to make strong signings this season. Obviously, the team management is operating with the goal of returning to the first division.
This also means that there are many Serie A-level players in the Bari team, which is really a strong enemy for Piacenza.
Without further ado, after a period of warm-up, Carney announced the team's starting lineup two hours before the start of the game.
This time, Liu Feng, who has recovered well, has steadily appeared in the game. He and Cassia will continue to serve as double forwards.
Scarpelli, who started the last round of games and completed his transformation, also got the chance to start again.
In the commentary box, Fabio was discussing the lineups of the two teams with his partner Eximi.
As mentioned before, after Fabio saw Liu Feng playing a game for the first time, he took the initiative to apply to become Piacenza's regular commentator, so whenever there is a game for this team, he will always appear at the game.
Interpretation room.
Therefore, many fans who cannot watch Piacenza games live will choose to understand the team's situation through Fabio's commentary on match days.
"Eximi, who do you think has the greater advantage in this game?"
Looking at the starting lineups of the two teams, Eximi, who is secretly a Bari fan, pondered for a while and then spoke: "Although Piacenza's new genius Liu Feng regained the chance to play in this game,
Based on the overall strength of Bari, I think it is still stronger than Piacenza."
"oh?"
Fabio smiled, and he was not surprised by Eximi's opinion, because compared to Piacenza, who lost at home in the last round of the game, Bari performed a big performance against Vicenza.
A great reversal.
Exmi has every reason to think that Barry's advantage is much greater.
Just when Fabio was about to say something more, the game on the field had already begun with the referee's whistle.
The two quickly turned their attention back to the live broadcast. On the court, Liu Feng, who had received a pass from Cassia, had just used a beautiful change of direction to get rid of a Bari player who was attacking.
"Oh, Liu Feng is so beautiful. Eximi, what I want to say is that you still underestimate Liu Feng's role in Piacenza."
