Chapter 289

(Chapter Title: Arrival in Naples)

In fact, apart from the above five players, the pre-match status of other players has also declined to varying degrees.

The regular main players Astori and Nocerino did not appear in the starting list considered by Conte due to their own state problems. They only entered the substitute list in this game, and obviously they will only be replaced in the second half of the game.

After comprehensively considering the situation of the team's players, Conte changed the previous 433 regular formation and sent a 442 system in this game.

Due to the absence of the organizational midfielder Marchisio, Conte canceled such a position without a corresponding player to replace him, but placed an extra defensive midfielder in the midfield.

The four midfielders lined up, from left to right are Padalino, Nainggolan, defensive midfielder Tozka who got the first chance to start, and right forward Aubameyang.

On the front line, Conte adopted Liu Feng and Cassia, Piacenza's old partners. Cassia was in the front as a big center, and Liu Feng shrank behind him as a shadow forward. The two had their own division of labor.

As for the backcourt, the two full-backs were selected, and the position of Wolff was replaced by Marco, another versatile winger of the team, while the left back was still held by Westley.

At centre-back, Conte used Tonucci and Scarpelli, who had performed well in the previous large-scale rotation, to partner.

After being promoted from the youth team, Gadri, who just started as a regular substitute and then gradually became a marginal role in the team as the league progressed, was also placed on the substitute list by Conte in this game. If there is no accident, he will be the first substitute in the central defender position.

The above is the main list of Piacenza against Naples. In fact, in Conte's view, many players on the list, even some players in the starting list, have been difficult to get the current chance to play in previous games, because their state has not met his requirements.

However, the collective outbreak of injuries this time was too intense. Even though Conte had been prepared, he was a little caught off guard. With the collective state of the players plummeting, as the head coach, he could only pull out the generals from the inside.

After announcing the roster in front of the players, Conte continued to arrange related matters. Since the game will start tomorrow morning and go to Naples, which is far away, the club specially purchased air tickets for the players.

According to the unified arrangement, everyone will arrive in Naples tonight and stay in a local star hotel, so after Conte told the players who entered the squad to go back and pack their things, he took the lead in leading the coaching staff to the airport. After a while, the team will gather at Piacenza Airport and fly to Naples together.

After some tidying up, the team members soon assembled at the airport and got on the plane to Naples.

Just over an hour later, the whole Piacenza team arrived in this city that was once illuminated by the light of Maradona alone.

"Feng, look quickly."

As both offensive players, both Cassia and Liu Feng are very interested in Maradona's story. At this moment, Cassia is pointing to the carvings and career introduction of Maradona on a monument in Naples Square.

This all-around football king who is on par with Brazil's Pele was definitely a superstar in Serie A that year, and in his Naples career, he brought Naples two Serie A championship trophies, and this is the team's second Serie A championship so far, which is enough to see Maradona's Serie B for this city.

"Very cool!" Liu Feng nodded as he looked at the statue that was obviously carefully selected and engraved on it. As a professional player, it is definitely a great honor to be engraved in the history of the city where the team he plays for.

"Yeah, it's a pity we weren't born in that era, otherwise it would be so wonderful."

"Casia, you might not be able to get the starting position in that era." Flocari looked at Cassia's yearning expression and shook his head: "That was an era full of stars."

"Oh, then I'd be happy too!" Cassia smiled and glared at Flocari when she heard Flocari's shocking words, "But if it's Feng, maybe there will still be a place in that era."

"That's for sure, and they'll be the brightest ones."

"Ahem, I'm still standing there beside you."

Liu Feng did not expect that the two of them would talk about himself. As a Chinese, he felt a little uncomfortable with the direct flattery of his two teammates. He waved his hands and walked to the front of the team.

Seeing Feng's reaction, Flocari and Cassia laughed at the team's defense. Compared with history, they still feel that Feng is more lively at this moment.

"Perhaps, standing by Feng's side is no worse than going back to the past."

"That's of course Cassia. Even back then, there was no genius who averaged one goal per game in Serie A at the age of 19."

After passing through the Naples Square, the group arrived at the hotel booked in advance by the team. After a simple check-in, the whole Piacenza team entered their respective rooms.

This time, Piacenza booked a standard two-person room. The team members were looking for roommates, and Liu Feng shared a room with his tomorrow's partner Cassia.

After Conte simply instructed to gather in the lobby downstairs at [-]:[-] tomorrow morning, all the players went back to their respective rooms.

It was not too late at the moment, it was just past nine o'clock in the evening. Cassia and Liu Feng were not too sleepy after entering the room, and then Liu Feng watched Cassia pull out a portable game console from his backpack like a magic trick.

As Cassia hooked up the console to the hotel's TV, footage of live football emerged.

"Feng, can you play? Come and sleep before you sleep?"

After Cassia took out the game disc with the familiar logo on it, Liu Feng realized which game Cassia was going to play. Live football was his pleasure in spending a lot of time in his room.

"Come on, come on, it's still early anyway, let's compete in a round."

"OK, come on!"

So, the two picked their favorite teams in the room and started the game. The final result was that Liu Feng's game skills were obviously much higher than Cassia's, and in the end they directly beat the team controlled by Cassia with a big score of [-]-[-].

"Feng, I didn't expect you to be so good at playing games."

Cassia didn't seem too discouraged after losing the game. After putting down the controller, he obviously admired Liu Feng's game skills: "I've been playing for almost half a year."

"Uh, maybe I hit more."

"Okay, okay, sleep, tomorrow's game, you have to pass me a few more good kicks!"

"Haha, no problem, good night."

"Good night."

After the two finished their conversation, they both fell into a deep sleep after a while.
