Chapter 157 Tactical Game
As Carney had foreseen, the game was completely dominated by Lecce's midfield duo for the rest of the first half.

The appearance of Munari turned Nainggolan's one-on-one tactic of staring at Giacomassi into a joke. The linkage between Munari and Giacomassi made the tactic of staring at one player meaningless.

With the recovery of Lecce's midfield, the team's two wingers also frequently retreated to take the ball. This caused the number of Lecce to directly increase to five in the midfield area, while Piacenza played four against five.

Among them, Piacenza's two full-backs, Guzman and Wolfer, are not good defensive players. They always look a little clumsy when facing the opponent's Lecce midfielder.

As a result, Cassia and Liu Feng, who were cruising in the frontcourt, never saw the ball until halftime.

However, thankfully, Piacenza's backcourt performed very well. Under Lorenzo's constant shouting and commanding, they blocked Lecce's threatening attacks again and again.

Therefore, until the end of the first half, the score remained at 1:1.

As the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the players on both sides walked back to the locker room sweating profusely.

In this half, the fierce pace of the game made the players on both sides very tired, and the players of the two teams didn't even make much eye contact when they left.

In the Piacenza locker room, Carney was analyzing the situation in the first half with the players. The players took a short time to rehydrate and rest while listening to the coach's next arrangement.

"Lecce's change of formation is very fast." Carney fiddled with the front tactical board, and placed a red seal next to Giacomassi's dark seal: "The tactic of Racha marking Giacomassi one-on-one has failed."

Scanning the players present, Carney felt a little melancholy.

The team's bench strength has always been the most helpless factor after he took over, because the team sold too many main players at the end of last season and did not buy strong players.

Although this situation has improved after a group of young players were admitted to the team, at this moment, problems are still exposed.

For example, now, Carney can't find a substitute player who can change the team's midfield disadvantage at this moment.

In the end, he still decided to follow the old path of the team - pulling Liu Feng from the forward position to the midfielder.

Piacenza did not take back Liu Feng's position this season. Every time Liu Feng came to the midfield organization, he could bring a lot of changes to the team, but at the same time, this also sacrificed a large part of Liu Feng's offensive ability.

After all, although he likes Kaka very much, Liu Feng himself is still a solid striker.

Before Liu Feng became the absolute core of the team, Carney's approach was understandable, but in the second half of the season, the situation was different.

As the head star of the team, Liu Feng can generously sacrifice himself for the team, but as the head coach, if he does this frequently, there is no guarantee that it will not cause changes in the atmosphere of the team, and the media has caught wind and rain.

However, at this moment, Carney really had no other choice.

"Feng..." When Liu Feng's name was clicked, Carney paused for a while: "In the second half, you retreat to the front midfielder to help the team stabilize the midfield."

"Good coach."

Still agreed cleanly, Liu Feng seemed to have no complaints, which made Carney feel even more guilty.

In Liu Feng's opinion, in order to win, he can do anything for the team, but with his status in the team, even if Carney's arrangement is rejected, no one will have any objections.

It can only be said that it is the coach's blessing to meet such a responsible core player like Liu Feng.

Then, with Liu Feng's retreat, Piacenza's formation becomes 451. If Liu Feng really stabilizes the team's midfield, then the team's two side players will naturally be released, and the team's offensive formation will become 433.

Although there is no deterrence from Liu Feng at the forefront, Cassia, who has scored close to ten figures this season, is also not a vegetarian. Carney believes that the team will still not play.
too ugly.

"Racha, you don't have to focus on Giacomassi in the second half." Arranging the most important thing, Carney began to adjust the responsibilities of other players: "Let go of your defensive area and try to prevent him from cooperating with Munari."

"Good coach."

"Padalino, your position will move back, try to control the ball as much as possible, and the scheduling and distribution of the ball in the backcourt will be handed over to you."

"Good coach."

……

The series of instructions are undoubtedly adjustments made by Carney after observing the first half of the game. After a series of tactical adjustments, the intermission time is coming to an end.

"Okay, let's continue to watch yours for the second half!"

With a wave of his hand, he put down the tactical board in his hand, and Carney motioned for Lorenzo to lead the team into the field.

"let's go!"

"Friends from the audience, welcome back to the game screen. I am the commentator Liu Jianhong. The second half of the match between Piacenza and Lecce will begin soon."

In the commentary room, after playing the highlights of the first half for a period of time, the screen re-cut to the Vidi Mari Stadium. After a short break, Liu Jianhong sat down in the commentary seat again in good spirits.

"In the second half of the first half, the tactical adjustment of the head coach of Lecce played a big role. I don't know how the Piacenza team will respond?"

Soon, Liu Jianhong's question was answered.

After the kick-off in Piacenza, its formation gradually flattened. Liu Feng, who was originally a shadow forward, retreated to a position parallel to Nainggolan, and served as the team's attacking midfielder.

"Oh~, Afeng's position has been raised?"

Liu Jianhong was a little surprised by the changes on the court. He didn't expect Carney's adjustment to be like this, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed reasonable: "Carney may want to use Afeng's ball-handling skills to stabilize the situation."

If the people of Piacenza were to vote for who is the most reliable player on the field, 80.00% of them would vote for Liu Feng. This Chinese player known as Super Feng has never disappointed fans and teammates on the field.

Even on the days when the team was losing, he always brought some hope and light to everyone.

At this moment, after the re-kick-off, although Liu Feng retreated, he still became the brightest star in the entire stadium.

I saw that when he received the ball from Cassia in the midfield, he immediately started to speed up, and a deft change of direction like passing a wooden stake flashed past Covia who was trying to fight.

Then facing Jacques Macy who was robbing, Liu Feng's pace of dribbling suddenly increased, and he changed direction again to pass the opponent.

However, this was not over yet. As Liu Feng had just kicked off the ball, he directly faced Lecce's entire defense line after passing Jacques Massey, so he chose to dribble the ball laterally and met Munari, who was fiercely attacking.

Therefore, Liu Feng told everyone a truth, that is, on the court, there is no opponent who cannot pass by changing directions.

That's right, when facing Munari, Liu Feng still chose to change direction.

After reaching the midfield, Liu Feng no longer opened and closed his football, but took a dexterous route, and this allowed his amazing sense of the ball to be displayed without limitation.

In front of the big Munari, Liu Feng was like a spirit fox. With a twist of his legs, he would shake the opponent's center of gravity and break through again.The Piacenza fans whistled frantically on the pitch, and Liu Feng, who had changed his style, still fascinated them.

At the same time, the tactical game between Carney and Di Canio officially kicked off.
