Chapter 269 Large-Scale Rotation

After Liu Feng came out of the locker room and finished warming up on the green field, the whole team of Piacenza also officially arrived. Under the command of Conte, the players also officially started their daily training activities. 
As the soul of the team, Liu Feng is undoubtedly one of the most valued players in training. Whether it is shooting training or passing moves, the coaching staff has the strictest requirements on him, but he can still complete them perfectly. 
And his other identity, the captain of the team, also made his behavior of perfectly completing various training indicators more meaningful to lead by example. After seeing the meticulousness of the boss of the team, the players naturally became motivated. 
Conte walked between the various training groups on the field and was very satisfied with the training situation of the players. 
Although Liu Feng, who left that day and finally left, confided in his heart, Conte still knows the difference between ideal and reality. Everyone loves to look at the moon in the sky, but sometimes the sixpence at your feet is more practical. 
This season, Conte is not so happy. Leading this young newly promoted team, he must be careful in every step. In his plan this year, what he has to do is to raise the level of this team to a new level. 
And looking at the players' daily training and performance on the field, Conte privately thinks that it is not difficult to achieve his goal. 
There is no time for training, and a few days of training will come to an end in a blink of an eye. 
On this day, Conte still stood in front of the players on the last day of training as usual, holding in his hand the training status and physical condition of the players this week, and he began to announce the names of the players who entered the squad. 
The No.14 round of Serie A will officially start tomorrow, and Piacenza will go away to challenge Catania. 
This is a team in the middle and lower reaches of Serie A. Unlike Piacenza, which is still in the top three of the league, Catania has been falling like a train since the start. Now it has fallen to No. 15 in the league, and it is only two points away from the relegation zone. 
Conte studied the strength of Catania's team in detail during the past few days of training, and finally came to the conclusion that this is an extremely favorable opportunity for a rotation. Against an opponent like Catania, the team's semi-main team is enough. 
After all, after challenging Catania, Piacenza will face Juventus in the next No.15 league round. Conte needs to consider the physical distribution and physical condition of the players. 
So this time the roster, Piacenza ushered in the biggest change since the start of the league.

In terms of lineup, among the players who played against Roma in the last round, Liu Feng, Aubameyang, Nainggolan, Nocerino and a series of main players were not placed in the main position in this game. 
Among them, players who had not experienced a rotation rest before were directly placed outside the squad in this game and did not need to enter the field with the team, while Liu Feng and Nainggolan who had a rotation rest were placed on the six-man substitute list. 
In the end, when Conte fully determined the team's lineup, only half of the team's absolute main players were left. Conte gave a large number of substitute players opportunities, and some players who had not played since the start of the new season also got opportunities one by one. 
After the roster is completely determined, there are naturally some people on the court who are happy and some are worried. The players who have not made the big roster are completely relaxed, and the players who have finally made it to the starting roster are all eager to try at this moment, eager to express themselves. 
In fact, isn't Conte giving opportunities to the team's substitute players? If a team wants to have diversified tactics, it must have enough qualified players, so that the head coach can better prescribe medicines for different opponents. 
But Piacenza obviously does not have this ability, and the problem of the big difference between the substitute and the main force has been hanging over Conte's head. Now that he has the opportunity to select these fringe players with real guns, he will naturally not let it go. 
While arranging the team's roster, Conte also determined the team's formation against Catania.

In this game, Piacenza will play in a 442 formation. Cassia and Flocari, who were both in good condition before the game, were arranged in the position of the team's double forwards. Obviously Conte will give them more opportunities to run in. 
Moreover, because Flocari and Cassia are almost on alternate appearances, and the two have no need to consider the issue of rotation or not, so they naturally became the striker of Piacenza's game. 
In the midfield position, Wolfer has come to the familiar right avant-garde position for a long time. As for the left position, the new face Leandro Greco, who is in charge of the wing, is in charge. The two in the middle are still the team's main players Padalino and Marchisio. 
As for the defense, this time Conte can be said to have used new players on a large scale. The two central defenders partnered. Conte directly used the two old players Dennis Tonucci and Stefano Avogadri who chose to stay in the team at the end of last season.

In addition to Westley, the left back of the two full-backs, the team veteran Iorio is also on the right. 
In short, this is a battle for the name of Piacenza's substitutes. I believe that as long as they perform well enough, they will definitely continue to win Conte's favor in future games.

And if the performance is still bad, then I'm sorry, with the winter window approaching, Conte has long been thinking about cleaning up a wave of redundant players in the team. 
This winter window, Conte wants to strengthen as much as possible in multiple positions. 
On the same day, after arranging the team's tactics and lineup, Conte immediately chose to disband. Tomorrow the team will gather at the club's gate and go to Catania's home stadium Massimino, where they will continue their Serie A journey. 
"Feng, you have to be ready to play at any time tomorrow."

After the players dispersed, Conte found Liu Feng alone. Obviously, he was not as confident as when he arranged the team lineup.

The reason why bench players are bench players is not that the head coach deliberately suppressed them. It must be because their abilities are not up to standard that they will not get the chance to play.

In this game, Conte arranged so many bench players to start, and he prepared for the worst in his heart.

And now to find Liu Feng, Conte is to determine the team's lower limit.

For a team, it is easy to win when the whole team is in excellent condition, but if the team as a whole is in a downturn, it will naturally be a very bad thing. At this time, super players need to stand up.

Because at this time, only these players can stand up and help the team win the game when the team is in a difficult state to win.

Sometimes, their performance has nothing to do with the team as a whole, or to put it another way, when they are in good shape, the team with them can be called good.

That's right, in Conte's heart, Liu Feng is such a player.

"Good coach."

On the sidelines, Liu Feng nodded to Conte's begging eyes and showed his signature smile.

Conte's heart is also at ease.
