Chapter 242 Killing the Game

After the re-kick-off, the first half of the game was spent under the comprehensive suppression of Palermo by Piacenza. Amidst the excited shouts of Piacenza, Palermo, who was playing away, was beaten quite embarrassingly.

With the sound of the half-time whistle, the entire Palermo team breathed a sigh of relief. Piacenza was playing with the momentum of 3:0 in the half-time game, which increased the pressure on Palermo's defense.

In the last 1 seconds of 30-minute stoppage time in the first half, Liu Feng shot a super long shot that was three or four meters away from the top of the penalty area and directly passed the Palermo goalkeeper Sirigu who flew to save, and hit the crossbar of the goal hard.

Apart from palpitations, the Palermo players couldn't find any words to describe their current mood. All they prayed after this kick was that the game would end as soon as possible.

At the end of the game, the Piacenza and Palermo players walked into the locker room in completely different attitudes. The contrast between the black-faced Rossi and the cheerful Conte who kept patting his player's shoulders was quite sharp. The mood of the Piacenza goal and the Palermo fans were also very different.

At halftime, Conte hardly made any changes in the locker room. In his opinion, since the players played very well under such a tactical arrangement, there is no need to make unnecessary changes. What needs to be changed now is Palermo on the other side.

Therefore, throughout the intermission, the players of Piacenza spent the exciting discussion and rest. When they walked out of the locker room again, all the players were gearing up again and preparing to continue their hard work.

After two rounds of decline, they are ready to give the fans a big gift.

On the other hand, Rossi turned on the criticism mode in the locker room. He criticized almost all the players on the field and pointed out all the loopholes of the team on the tactical board. He made a lot of adjustments in the second half.

After halftime, the right back Merlinte, who appeared to be in a panic under Liu Feng's assault and running positions in the first half, was directly replaced, and Mattia Cassani, who was rested in the team this round, was replaced again. Obviously Rossi realized that if Liu Feng was not blocked, Piacenza's offense might never be stopped.

Mattia Cassani is also well-known in Serie A. With a strong figure and handsome appearance, he is known as a fashionista, and his ability on the court is also very good. When he is on the right side of the team, this area can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai.

"Friends in the audience, welcome back to the match between Piacenza and Palermo at home. I am the commentator Liu Jianhong."

In the commentary room, after a commercial, Liu Jianhong reappeared in the eyes of everyone. He carefully watched the formation changes and personnel adjustments of the two teams: "Palermo made personnel adjustments after the start of the second half. It replaced Melinte, who was almost beaten by Afeng in the first half, and replaced Cassani."

With the whistle of the referee, after the two sides started to fight again, the adjustment of Palermo's formation was also revealed. At this moment, it is different from the 442 formation at the beginning of the game. Rossi has adjusted his team's formation to a position similar to 451.

On the front line, he only left Miccoli at the forefront. Obviously, at the beginning of the second half, he decided to play a defensive and counterattack tactic.

Facing the imposing Piacenza, it would be unwise to be familiar with him directly. Rossi chose to wear down Piacenza's vigor first before talking about other things.

This method of giving up offense and strengthening defense is indeed effective in curbing the opponent's offense, but I am afraid that the opponent will seize the opportunity to score directly in the constantly obtained offensive opportunities. Once such a result is caused by the opponent, there is no need for the entire team's tactics to continue.

Piacenza on the field obviously didn't want to give Palermo another chance. When Palermo chose to defend, they generously took over the offensive space. The team's formation was fully pressed, and in the end Marchisio even came to the midfield line.

In this case, the strength of Piacenza's midfielder was fully utilized. Nainggolan, Nocerino, and Marchisio, the three absolute main players of Piacenza's game in this game, are all young, but their strength is definitely not bad.

After gaining enough space, the three of them completely took control of the midfield. Palermo's large number of midfielders did not play any role, and they were at a disadvantage in the contest with Piacenza.

The balance of the game has always been leaning towards Piacenza's side. Time after time, threatening shots came from outside the goal frame to within the goal frame. Everyone understands that if we continue, the arrival of Piacenza's third goal is not far away.

When the game time came to No. 60 minutes, the emotions of the Piacenza fans were vented again.

First, Palermo striker Miccoli got a chance to counterattack. Because of his short stature and low center of gravity, he passed Nainggolan who had not had time to fully keep up. However, Miccoli, who had no support under the pressure of Nocerino and Marchisio, lost the ball.

Then, with a long pass from Marchisio to the frontcourt, Piacenza blew the horn of attack.

Cassia took the ball with his back in the middle and resisted the interference of the opponent. He distributed the ball directly to his left.

Cassia, who turned around, didn't stick to the ball. After getting the ball, he directly distributed it to Liu Feng on the left. After Cassani came on the field, Liu Feng was followed very uncomfortable. He didn't perform well in the 15 minutes after the opening of the second half.

However, Liu Feng has gradually figured out the opponent's habits in the battles with Cassani again and again. In the face of Cassia's goal this time, he directly stopped and knocked the ball out. Relying on his own extremely fast speed, he directly threw away half of Cassani's body.

After Cassani followed him and ran for about ten meters, Liu Feng stepped over the ball with his right foot, then stood in front of the ball with his left foot and knocked the ball in the opposite direction. The whole person completed a sudden stop and turned around.

Cassani was directly thrown away, and Liu Feng pushed the ball hard to the arc of the penalty area.

"Afeng got rid of it beautifully! The ball was returned, and Nainggolan followed up and shot!!!"

Nainggolan's long-range shooting ability has gradually improved in the training of each game. When Liu Feng's pass was flattened in front of him, he directly blasted a world wave.

"Oh!"

The sound fell, the ball scored, and the gate guarded by Sirigu was breached again.

This game was completely killed.
