Chapter 303 Deadlock Two 10 Minutes

In the dressing room of Piacenza, Conte’s halftime speech was shorter than ever before. He even only said a few words before re-handing the game to the boys in front of him: "Good job! Keep it up!"

Yes, after the team put a huge pressure on Bologna in both the scene and the score, Conte as the head coach didn't think he needed to do anything else. With these players, what he had to do in the second half was to replace the right players at the right time.

The players were not surprised by the head coach's simple handling. It was definitely not just Liu Feng who had been completely excited in the first half. All the players in the Piacenza team had a very good performance in the game, but Liu Feng, who scored the goal, performed more prominently.

Therefore, at this moment, every team member is filled with deep confidence. Although they are surprised by the move of the head coach to directly delegate power to them, they also feel that it should be taken for granted.

After Conte finished his speech and signaled the players to take a break, everyone went about their own business, and the whole locker room began to talk and laugh for a while. Liu Feng, the hero who scored twice in the first half, was surrounded by several friends from the team and chatted in the middle.

"Feng, why are you in such a good state for this game?"

"That's right, Feng, I've never seen you show such a strong desire to score goals from the first second of the game."

"Does the goal today mean anything special to you?"

"Why do you only compare your heart to one stand? Ah! Feng, is your girlfriend in that stand!!!"

"Oh! That's how it is!"

I have to say that sometimes men’s gossip is equally terrifying. This group of straight football men gathered together and talked to each other until the end, and finally discovered the essence of the problem. With Scarpelli’s last finishing touch, he awakened the dreamer. The eyes of several players sitting next to Liu Feng changed when they looked at Liu Feng.

"I, uh, you..." Liu Feng was already choked up by the machine-gun questions of his teammates, but in the end he was so suppressed by several teammates that his face turned red, and he couldn't speak for a while.

"Okay, okay, let's see what you have forced our captain into. Do you still want him to lead us to victory?"

On the side, Padalino, who has the most experience in love affairs in the team, finally couldn't stand it any longer. He leaned over to intervene in everyone's conversation, and then ended the booing of Scarpelli and the others with a stabbing knife: "And, if I remember correctly, there are no girls around you!"

"Cut~, Padalino, you're such a disappointment." Cassia, who was poked out, withdrew from the battle group first, and he waved his hand to show that he was different from the others: "I already have a target!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

In the locker room, some older players looked at the group of 20-year-olds and laughed. They all seemed to recall their appearance when they were young. At the age of 20, it was the beginning stage of a player’s love and career. That time was destined to be an unforgettable time for everyone.

"Feng, don't worry, you will be able to complete the hat-trick in the second half." Finally, the conversation of the players ended with Neinggolan patted Liu Feng on the shoulder solemnly.

Not long after that, there was a knock on the door of Piacenza's locker room. The whole team stood up with smiles on their faces, and walked out of the locker room again.

Laughter is laughter, trouble is trouble, the game is still the most important thing.

"Friends from the audience, welcome back. I am the commentator Liu Jianhong. I will bring you the second half of the match between Piacenza and Bologna at home. We can see that the players of the two teams have already stood up on the court."

"Shh!"

As soon as Liu Jianhong finished speaking, the referee blew the whistle to start the game. With the players standing in front of the tee point in Bologna pushing out the ball, the second half of the game officially started.

The Bologna team made huge adjustments during the halftime break. After being conceded two goals in the first half, the team's head coach was obviously quite dissatisfied with the performance of the players. After the second half started, the team had two new faces on the pitch.

Perhaps it was Piacenza's strong offensive strength that completely frightened the Bologna coach. Bologna, who used two substitutions, directly put up a 451 formation at the beginning of the game.

After the kick-off, they relied on their strong midfield strength to control the ball within their own half. Piacenza's three forwards could only temporarily slow down the rhythm of the attack after several unsuccessful presses, and began to only carry out effective presses at necessary moments.

As a result, the protagonist on the field changed from a striker to a midfielder of the two teams. Tozka and Marchisio moved their positions forward one after another under the signal of Conte on the sidelines and formed a central iron triangle structure with Nainggolan. The three supported each other and mingled with Bologna's midfielder within the midfield range.

However, on the football field, sometimes just blindly piling up the number is not enough.

Two of Bologna's five midfielders on the field were obviously strikers before. At the moment, after being asked to participate in the organization and pressing of the midfield, they all showed obvious discomfort. Bologna lost the ball several times in the midfield in the subsequent games.

However, due to the large number of players, the other three midfielders can always make up in time, so even though the ball is broken, it is difficult for Piacenza to organize a very threatening attack for a while.

Even if the ball occasionally passed to the feet of Liu Feng and the three of them, Bologna's defense players were ready early.

As a result, the game fell into anxiety. The players of the two teams did not create too good opportunities in the 10 minutes after the kick-off. Neither Bologna, who was frequently stifled in the second half of Piacenza's counterattacks, nor the Piacenza striker trio who were surrounded by groups, were able to please.

In this case, Conte, who had the initiative, began to make adjustments. Compared with Bologna's tortoise style and early lock-up, Conte had a lot of room for adjustment. He directly changed the team's formation.

In the 605th minute of the game, Piacenza used the first substitution quota, replacing right winger Aubameyang with midfielder Nocerino, and then the team changed to 442. Liu Feng and Flocari became the team's double forwards, and Nocerino joined the midfield iron triangle organization.

After this adjustment, Piacenza's midfield has been greatly strengthened. With the participation of four very strong midfielders, the anxious situation in the midfield of both sides officially came to an end. As time went by, Piacenza took over the midfield again.

And the first shot fired after he took over the midfield directly declared the complete death of Bologna.
