Chapter 92 Dramatic Development

Hairdryer coaching is a method made popular by Manchester United's world-renowned head coach Sir Alex Ferguson.

The specific manifestation is that when a player performs poorly, the angry head coach yells at the opponent's face, roaring like a hair dryer.

This method often makes players feel great pressure, thus turning pressure into motivation and reversing their performance on the court.

Of course, not every coach can do this method.

When a coach does not have enough prestige in the team and has 100% trust and recognition from the players, if he uses it rashly, he is likely to be scolded in return, or even worse, such as being punched.

Originally, Arrigoni, who had just taken charge of the team in the new season, would never have dared to treat his players in this way at the beginning of the season.

But when he led the team to win all the way, and even sat in the first place for seven consecutive rounds, everything changed.

The team's main center back Vangelis Moraes, goalkeeper Colombo, midfielder Nicola Mingazzini, and even Maracina looked confused as they felt the spit from Arrigoni. It can be said that

The entire central axis of Bologna was scolded.

It's obvious that the head coach is quite dissatisfied with the team's lagging behind.

"This is Dalara, our goal is to win the championship! Not to lose to a team like Piacenza!"

After yelling at the players individually, Arrigoni stood in the middle of the locker room with his hands on his hips: "If you don't want to be ridiculed by the media and opponents, then cheer up!"

All the Bologna players were silent, suppressed by the coach's astonishing anger.

They also know how bad their performance was at the end of the first half. If it continues like that in the second half, their defeat is almost certain.

"Mingazini! Moraes! Keep an eye on that Chinese guy in the second half. If you can't stop him, give me a foul!"

As long as you don't get sent off, it's up to you. Don't act like a gentleman and don't even do anything when you get passed."

Arrigoni was also frightened by Liu Feng. Such a player who can pass, pass and shoot is definitely the team's biggest threat.

In the first half, his own players' defense was too clean, allowing Liu Feng to stage a scene where four players scored in a row. This was simply unbearable.

Even in Serie B, even the first two players in front of him are not players who are good at defense.

Liu Feng's performance full of personal heroism is almost a miracle. Such a performance is a huge stimulus to both the team and the fans.

Arigoni would never allow this kind of thing to happen again in the second half, so he asked the team to stop Liu Feng from continuing as soon as he started.

"Maracina, Bellucci, I need you to keep scoring goals! Score goals! Score goals!!!"

The topic then shifted to the team's two forwards. If they want to regain the game, there is no doubt that they are indispensable roles.

Defense determines the upper limit of a team's losses, while offense is the key to victory or defeat. Arrigoni understands this truth very well.

"Good coach."

As the soul of the team, Maracina was one of the few players in the team who didn't lose his mentality after seeing Liu Feng's goal in the first half.

Having experienced Serie A at its peak, he has seen many talented players who can compete with Liu Feng, so he does not believe that Liu Feng's goal alone will allow Bologna to hand over the victory.

Compared with the unprecedentedly stagnant atmosphere in the Bologna locker room, the Piacenza locker room seemed very harmonious. After praising the team's excellent performance, head coach Carney kindly pointed out the performance of some players in the first half.

insufficient.

As the captain of the team, Lorenzo took the initiative to stand up and apologize to the team for his poor performance in the first half.

So the two teams spent the halftime break in such completely different atmospheres.

When the players from both sides played again, Piacenza's players seemed quite relaxed. After asking the players to continue their performance in the first half, coach Carney chose to use gentle methods to ease the pressure on the players.

The Bologna players on the other side had gloomy faces, and their eyes were filled with anger as they stared at the opponents next to them.

Arrigoni's hairdryer still worked. He successfully made the entire Bologna team feel humiliated, and their emotions were on the verge of explosion.

Soon, the second half of the game kicked off with the referee's whistle.

The kick-off of the second half was on Piacenza's side. As Cassia pushed the ball to Liu Feng who was standing outside the center circle, the players of both Piacenza and Bologna quickly moved.

Liu Feng passed the ball to Scarpelli who was in the back position of the midfield before Bellucci rushed forward. Scarpelli passed to Lorenzo. Lorenzo was waiting for Bologna's overall formation to pull out.

A long pass and the ball was hoisted directly from the back left to the right side of the court.

There, Piacenza's right midfielder Padalino was waiting. He stretched out his left foot and prepared to touch the ball with the outside of his instep, intending to pass by the Bologna full-back who was facing him in front of him.

“Bang!“

This time, things developed a bit beyond Padalino's expectations.

The opponent in front of him was like a wolf that had lost its mind. He didn't give himself a chance to use his skills at all. He bumped directly into him. Padalino was knocked to the ground before he could react.

As the referee blew the foul whistle, Piacenza's rapid attack came to an end.

This was a collision at the center line, so the referee did not play the card. He didn't even think of talking to the Bologna player who committed the foul, and directly signaled Piacenza to take a free kick.

At this distance, a free kick is really of little use. Running from the backcourt, Scarpelli kicked the ball directly.

The distance from the goal was too far, so he only passed the ball to the top of the penalty area. Liu Feng, who was about to rush out of the penalty area to catch the ball, was blocked by Morris and Mingazini. The ball was then blocked by

Another Bologna defender made a huge clearance.

"Wow, after a halftime break, Bologna's players became more defensively tough again."

Fabio looked at the series of events that happened on the court, and he had to admit that Arrigoni was indeed a coach with two skills.

After the team regained its form, the Bologna fans began to cheer for the team again. Immediately afterwards, something happened on the stadium that made them even more excited.

After several attacks were disrupted by Bologna, Piacenza's frontcourt was a little weak for a short period of time, and the ball began to intersect more in the midfield.

After grabbing the ball once, Bologna midfielder Mingazzini directly passed a long pass.

This kick was uploaded so suddenly that Piacenza's right back had no time to react. Bellucci, who had sneaked here long ago, successfully countered offside and took the ball from Mingazzini and started to hit the bottom.

.

In the midfield position, Maracina also broke out of the struggle with Nainggolan in an instant and ran towards the penalty area to grab the ball and prepare to receive Bellucci's cross.

Originally, Gadri and Lorenzo, who had already vaguely surrounded Marazina, were not afraid of Marazina taking the lead and rushing into the penalty area alone. They had enough confidence to interfere with this guy's touch of the ball.

But an unexpected situation directly caused the players on both sides to fall into shock.

I saw Bellucci, who was supporting his left foot with his right foot, slipping when he passed the cross...

The ball drew an arc in the air that was beyond everyone's expectations, and directly hit the arm of Piacenza's right back who had thrown his body to block Bellucci's most likely cross. Then, it flew out of the baseline.

In the penalty area, interference with the direction of the pass, handball. A dramatic accident, a destined ending. When the referee blew his whistle and pointed his finger at the penalty spot, it was an undisputed penalty.
