Chapter 221 Fighting against the Blue Eagle
The days of training fly by in a flash, but it is this kind of daily training that takes up the most important part of every professional player's career.

The day before the start of the game, Conte was very satisfied with the state of the players, and he left everyone in the team's tactical room again after training.

As in the past, before each game, the head coach has to talk about the team's tactical arrangements and opponent's threats and playing methods.

As the head coach, Conte started to collect information on the next round of opponents almost immediately after the end of a round, and then continued to extract it during the training days of the players.

By the time the players are all seated together, all that's left is a video of less than two hours and a few pages of text.

While the players were listening intently, Conte started his own explanation.

……

Lazio, a team with blue and white as the background color of the team, can be said to have many strong players in the team.

Although there are not as many superstars as the giants in Serie A, the overall strength of this team is still very strong.

Before playing against Piacenza, this team has achieved two consecutive victories. In those two games, Lazio first swept Fiorentina 3-0 and then beat Torino 3-1.

It is not difficult to see that this is a team with excellent offensive ability, but its defense is relatively inferior.

It can still stabilize the situation when dealing with the strikers of teams like Turin and Fiorentina, but it is not satisfactory when facing teams that really have explosive points.

In the third round of the league, Lazio lost to AC Milan with a big score of 1-4, and the entire defense line was almost blown away by the unstoppable Milan stars.

The only stable point of the team's defense is Lichtsteiner, who constantly fills up for his teammates at the right back position of the team and shouts to try to boost morale.

After analyzing the characteristics of this team, Conte already has a plan in mind to deal with the opponent. Piacenza is not afraid of offensive opponents, but is afraid of teams that mainly use shrinking tactics.

Since Lazio likes to play offense, he has absolute confidence in his team's striker and made the decision to play against the opponent.

The players naturally had no objection to the coach's arrangement, and nodded after Conte stated his tactical intentions.

Then Conte still moved out of his most comfortable 433 formation. The three forwards were Cassia who was in very good form recently as the center forward, and the two forwards on the left and right were Liu Feng and Aubameyang.

Unlike Aubameyang, Liu Feng's position is not a pure winger. When Conte put him in this position, he deliberately leaned inward and told him that he had the freedom to decide how to attack.

Genius needs freedom, and mediocrity needs to follow instructions step by step. This is Conte's inner thoughts.

For a player like Liu Feng, instead of forcing him to play, it is better to let him have enough autonomy. Only a free-flying eagle can cause people to exclaim.

At the same time, after arranging the team's forward personnel in advance, Conte also focused on reminding Liu Feng that his opponent Lichtsteiner is very strong, and I hope he pays attention to it during the game.

Subsequently, Conte reported the midfielder who went to Rome with the team.

Nainggolan, who has been in good form, was selected again, and the stable Marchisio also continued to serve as the midfielder, while Nocerino had to miss the game because of an accidental injury in training not long ago.

Therefore, Padalino successfully returned to the starting position again.

On the defensive line, the young Scarpelli was obviously in a sluggish state after playing five consecutive rounds, so Conte put him on the bench.

The team's central defenders in this game are partnered by Astori and Gadri, and the two full-back positions are still held by Westley and Wolfer.

After arranging the team's tactics and list of candidates, Conte waved his hand to signal the players to disband on the spot. They will take the team bus to the Olympic Stadium in Rome tomorrow morning.

After a night of no dreams, the next day, amidst the cries of some fans who could not travel with the team, the Piacenza team bus once again embarked on a long league journey.

The Olympic Stadium in Rome was full of voices.

As one of the traditional seven sisters of Serie A, Lazio has a considerable number of fans in the country. This team won the European Cup Winners Cup and the Serie A championship at the end of the last century.

In recent years, under the leadership of coach Desio Rossi, the Blue Eagles have played offensive football in Serie A. This approach is naturally very popular with fans, and it has attracted a large number of fans for this team.

And in distant China, this team also has a large number of fans.

However, unlike the situation of supporting the team at home, when Lazio stood on the opposite side of Liu Feng's team, a large number of Chinese Blue Eagles fans turned to Piacenza.

After the warm field before the start of each round of the league, the two teams returned to the locker room to wait for the game to start.

As the on-duty referee and the referee team lead the two teams out of the player channel, the time for the official start of the game is getting closer and closer.

"CCTV, CCTV, hello everyone, I'm Liu Jianhong."

On CCTV, Liu Jianhong has become a regular commentary for Piacenza games, and the fans still buy his commentary very much.

As for Duan Xuan who appeared with Liu Jianhong during the match between Piacenza and Inter Milan, this match did not appear in the commentary room.

It is said that CCTV has begun to try to improve the commentary effect of football games by inviting guests, but that is another story.

"The captains of both sides have completed the finger-guessing event, and the match will begin immediately."

On the field, the Lazio team, which won the boxing game, chose the ball, while Liu Feng chose the half court closer to the visiting team's fan area.

With the whistle of the referee, Simone Inzaghi, who was standing on the serving point in the midfield, launched the ball, and this strong match officially kicked off.

"Give them a good look!!!"

On the sidelines, Lazio's coach Rossi shouted at his players.

In the last two rounds of matches, Lazio has repeatedly scored goals in the opening 10 minutes, which is naturally a reflection of Rossi's tactical arrangements.

As soon as the game kicked off, Lazio, who controlled the ball, simply overturned the ball to the frontcourt. There is no doubt that they are also trying to give Piacenza, a newly promoted team that is in the limelight, a head-on blow.

"Pay attention to defense."

On the sidelines, Conte's expression became more serious than ever. After discussing the Blue Eagle tactics with his players, he knew that Lazio liked to attack very much at the beginning of the game, so he made arrangements early.

On the green field, the players who had prepared for Piacenza were not attracted by Lazio's backcourt.

After finishing their half-time formation, they faced Lazio, who was overwhelmed by the army.

War is imminent.
