Chapter 162 The Last Battle

In fact, before this last game, the hot news about Piacenza was far more than that.

On the second day after Liu Feng confirmed his entry into the squad, that is, the morning of the game, at the press conference of the Piacenza team, head coach Carney and team captain Lorenzo appeared in front of the media.

"I am very happy with the year I have been with the team, I have found a home in Piacenza."

Lorenzo, the veteran player who joined the team when Piacenza's main force was almost sold out last season, solemnly announced his imminent retirement in front of the media.

"Being able to enjoy this amazing season with the team is an unforgettable experience in my career."

"I'm really looking forward to beating Lecce and getting into Serie A, because in my opinion, there are many players in the team who are far above the level of Serie B."

"Yes, I would say, it's time to separate."

Saying goodbye to the professional arena is not a pleasant thing for any player who has worked hard on the green field for many years. Lorenzo was obviously a little disappointed. However, when he mentioned the team's next game against Lecce, he once again made a captain's due responsibility.

"Of course, in today's final game, I will still go all out and dedicate my last effort to the club."

"Boom~"

Although some media have long speculated that Lorenzo at this age should retire in the last two seasons, but when the player himself said it himself, it still surprised people.

Because of Lorenzo's performance this season, if he asks to renew his contract with the club to continue playing, Piacenza will never refuse.

Moreover, this player who was signed by the club from Chievo last season brought Piacenza not only a technical enhancement, but also a contribution to the stability of the locker room.

It can be said that if there is no Lorenzo at the beginning of this season, Piacenza, who lost nearly half of the main players last season, will definitely perform quite poorly. After all, it is difficult for a team that has experienced major personnel changes to guarantee that there will be no turmoil.

However, all these ideas have lost their meaning after Lorenzo himself announced his retirement. Maybe after this year, the veteran player Lorenzo will no longer be needed in Piacenza's locker room.

That morning, after the press conference, the news that team captain Lorenzo was about to retire spread throughout Piacenza.

Locally in Piacenza, many fans chose to wear Lorenzo's jersey in the afternoon game to see off their captain.

At the same time, in another city, Verona, a group of fans wearing yellow jerseys also gathered spontaneously to see off their old captain. Yes, those fans were fans of the Chievo team that Lorenzo played for before coming to Piacenza.

Although he is not a big star, Lorenzo's social account still received blessings from all parties on this day, including his old teammates in Chievo and new friends he met in Piacenza.

However, Lorenzo, who continued to train intensively with the team after the press conference, didn't pay attention to it immediately.

As he said, in the last game, he will dedicate his last effort to Piacenza.

Soon, it was afternoon.

The Piacenza team returned to the locker room after a simple warm-up. Because of home factors, they had already been familiar with the court and saved a lot of time on the court, which was enough time for the head coach to emphasize the matters to be noticed on the court again.

"Feng, I will replace you in the second half. How does your ankle feel?"

"No problem, boss."

Sitting in his seat, Liu Feng polished the sneakers left by his father as usual. After Carney asked, he tried to move his right ankle a few times, and he didn't feel anything wrong.

"Okay, then I will emphasize the team's tactics again."

Seeing Liu Feng nodded, Carney directly pulled the tactical board around him closer to the players: "As we have practiced these days, our formation will be 451 before Feng enters the field."

Pointing to the distribution on the tactical board, in fact Piacenza's starting formation for this game is a 4141 formation, in which the single midfielder position covers the widest area, and this position will be occupied by Nainggolan.

"Racha, you will be the key to whether the team can survive the first half, so be sure to cheer up!"

"Good coach."

"Padalino, you will play the midfielder position in this game and control the ball as much as possible."

"Danner, you will be the point of departure in the backcourt. I need you to help the team with your long passing ability."

……

A series of arrangements came out of Carney's mouth in an orderly manner, and the players who were targeted nodded one after another. In the end, Carney finally finished what he had to say. He paused and looked around at the players sitting in the locker room.

"Everyone, this is our last game in Serie A. Some of you here have also experienced the dark day of last season. I think you absolutely don't want to experience that feeling again."

No one wants to stumble at the last step towards success, that feeling is too depressing, every player in Piacenza went to this last game, thinking only about winning.

"This is our home stadium, and it is also the best occasion for us to announce the return of the Red and White Wolves to Serie A. Listen to the roar of the fans outside, everyone, cheer me up!!!"

"Now, what you have to do is very simple, stand up, go out, beat your opponent, and win the game!"

"Roar!!!"

Under the leadership of Lorenzo, the Piacenza team walked to the Leonardo Stadium, where they had their last game of the season and determined the future of many people.

The substitutes are led by the head coach to the players' bench, where they will be waiting to play for the team at any time.

After sitting down, Liu Feng looked back, and at a glance, he saw Yuan Xiao in the first row of the home fans area behind him.At this time, Yuan Xiao was also looking at Liu Feng with a smile. The two looked at each other, and Liu Feng saw the necklace on Yuan Xiao's neck.

"Sure enough, this necklace is very suitable for her..."

Trembling in his heart, Liu Feng nodded and focused on the game again. Although he remained calm beside his teammates, his heartbeat was getting faster and faster, revealing many things.

"CCTV, CCTV, hello everyone, I'm Liu Jianhong, and I'm broadcasting for you, the second round of the second round of the 2007-2008 Serie B promotion playoffs, the match between Piacenza and Lecce at home."

As the players stood up on the pitch, Liu Jianhong's voice appeared in the commentary room of CCTV5: "The two teams drew in the first match, and this match will determine which team will qualify for next season's Serie A."

"At the same time, the Chinese player Liu Feng has entered the team's roster. Not surprisingly, he will play as a substitute player in this game."

On the court, with a whistle, Piacchen's final battle kicked off.
