Bologna, one of the oldest clubs in Italy, has won seven Serie A championships, two Italian Cups, and was the first Italian team to win a European championship.

Their home stadium is the Estadio Dallara, which can accommodate 38,279 people and is one of the most popular top football clubs in Italy.

This team has a huge number of die-hard fans. Even after the team was relegated from Serie A to Serie B in the 2004-2005 season, their home attendance was still hot, even surpassing some small teams competing in Serie A.

In comparison, Piacenza is more like a club that came out of a rural town and has rarely been able to shine in its 80-year history.

The most glorious moments were winning the Italian Cup once and finishing 14th in Serie A at the beginning of the 21st century.

After being relegated to Serie B two years ago, Bologna has been preparing to return to Serie A. Over the past two seasons, through the club's appeal and the operation of the manager, the team has been signing some people who have withdrawn from Serie A but have strong strength.

Players who are still guaranteed.

Massimo Maracina, who joined in the 2005-2006 season, is one of the best. Now 33 years old, Maracina is a standard Italian striker with extremely powerful comprehensive abilities.

With his extremely flexible running position and excellent ability to grab points, he is often able to attack with the ball and cause a decisive victory.

In the season when he newly joined the team, his striker combination with Bellucci, another forward of the team, was rated as the most offensive and aggressive striker combination in Serie B.

In addition, Maracina, who has the face of a standard European handsome boy, is extremely passionate on the court. The attitude and fighting spirit he shows in the game make it impossible to tell that this is a man who has passed the test.

player of the year.

This season, under the guidance of the team's new coach Daniel Arigoni, Maracina, who is in unprecedented hot form, is leading the scorer list with 18 goals. Bologna fans and local newspapers affectionately call him Bologna.

The "Idol Killer".

At this time, in the Bologna media reception room, a pre-match press conference was being held against this background.

As the coach of Bologna, Daniel Arrigoni can be described as high-spirited. In the season he took office, he completely activated the entire team. Bologna has not fallen out of the top three positions in the league since the start of the season.

Before two rounds of the league, Bologna was ranked first in the league.

Now, they are only one point behind Chievo, so the entire Bologna team is gearing up to get back to the top spot.

This round against Piacenza is an opportunity in Arrigoni's eyes.

Although I have to admit that Piacenza's efficiency in scoring points since the start of the second half of the league is terrible, but it is not difficult to see from the fact that it was beaten 3:1 by Lecce in the 27th round of the league.

A very unstable team.

Obviously, playing against strong teams is still a problem for Piacenza.

In the first half, Arrigoni had the experience of defeating Piacenza in the away game with a half-substitute lineup, so he is bound to win this game. This idea was also revealed in his answer to reporters' questions at the press conference.

It's very obvious.

"Has Piacenza been on a roll in the league lately?"

With a confident smile and elegant answers, Arrigoni responded to questions from different media in the familiar press hall: "However, I believe my team will not be afraid of them."

"So Mr. Arrigoni, how will you deal with Liu Feng who is in the limelight in Piacenza in this game?"

"Ahem, the Chinese youngster is indeed a huge threat, but I think my players can limit him. After all, Lecce has already done it a few rounds of the league, hasn't it?"

"Ha ha."

Most of the media here are local media in Bologna. They naturally know how the team beat Lecce, which is in third place in the league.

Arrigoni's meaning is obvious. Since Lecce can restrict Liu Feng, his players have no reason to be afraid of Liu Feng.

"In addition, everyone, please don't forget that sitting next to me is the top scorer this season so far."

With a big wave of his hand, Arrigoni patted Massimo Maracina, who came with him to attend the press conference: "I think our idol killer is no worse than Piacenza's Super Maple."

"Haha, I really want to see if Piacenza's new super one is really as powerful as Pippo."

Maracina took over the topic and talked about his views on Liu Feng with a smile: "Inzaghi is a player who can cause trouble to his opponents at any time."

Maracina, who once played against Inzaghi in a competition, obviously admired him very much. The teasing words in his words made it easy to tell that he was not interested in the fact that Liu Feng was called Super Maple.

Totally agree.

"Wow!"

The media made sounds of surprise. Marazina, who likes to create hot spots both on and off the court, did not disappoint them this time.

His doubts about Piacenza's rising star Liu Feng will undoubtedly become a huge hype point for the media before the game.

"So you two are very optimistic about the outcome of this game?" A reporter smiled and asked the last question to Arrigoni and Massimo.

"Well, I respect every opponent, so we will still try our best to win this game and surpass Chievo. After all, our goal this season is to reach the First Division. If we can win a championship along the way, I think it would be good."

Arrigoni did not answer reporters' questions directly, but he suddenly talked about overtaking Chievo, clearly expressing his optimism about defeating Piacenza.

Maracina showed a playful smile: "I feel very good now and can't wait to prove myself on the green field again."

The press conference in Bologna broke out one hot topic after another. From Maracina's doubts about Liu Feng to Arrigoni's strong confidence in defeating Piacenza, the Bologna media continued to convey to the outside world that the team would win easily.

message.

Therefore, when the press conference in Piacenza was held, the media began to ask Carney and Liu Feng one sharp topic after another.

Liu Feng and Carney are not impulsive people, so they kept smiling when facing some reporters who clearly had a disdainful attitude towards the team. However, after the press conference, everything changed.

"Fuck! They will pay for this!" Carney yelled in the dressing room in Piacenza.

His angry mood is also driving every Piacenza player.

Except for a few players such as Liu Feng and Scarpelli who joined the team in the second half of the schedule, most of the team's players had experienced the dark first half of the game against Bologna.

In that game, Bologna only played half of the main players. Although the score was only 1:0, only those involved can know what the situation on the field was like.

At that time, Maracina was replaced after scoring a goal in the first half. After several more substitutes were brought in, Bologna coach Arrigoni sat directly on the bench and stopped directing the team.

Even so, Piacenza, under the leadership of Castori, still did not change the team's situation of being beaten.

Being slighted by Bologna again this time, the Piacenza players, who have slowly found themselves, are ignited with a fierce fire of revenge.
