Chapter 311 A Thank You

"CCTV, CCTV! Audience friends, hello everyone, welcome to the 2008-2009 Serie A No. 18 match between Fiorentina and Piacenza at home. I am the commentator Liu Jianhong."

In the CCTV commentary room, after nearly a month of absence, Liu Jianhong reappeared in front of the fans. With the familiar opening remarks and familiar voice, everyone will see the familiar Liu Feng continue his journey in Serie A again.

On the court, Piacenza's warm-up came to an end soon. As for the home team, Fiorentina, they completed the warm-up long before the arrival of the visiting team. Therefore, when Piacenza stepped into the player tunnel, Frankie Stadium began to wait quietly for the start of the game.

People didn't wait for too long. A few minutes later, the referee on duty walked out of the player channel first. Then, amidst the cheers and boos of tens of thousands of fans, Piacenza and Fiorentina walked out of the player channel solemnly.

At the head of the row in Piacenza, Liu Feng, wearing the captain's armband, jumped a few times after stepping into the field, and then felt the eyes of a player from the Fiorentina team next to him. It was Gilardino, who is now quite famous in Serie A.

"Hello." Liu Feng nodded to Gilardino very politely, showing him a friendly smile.

"Hello." Gilardino was not hostile at first, so after Liu Feng greeted him politely, he nodded with a smile, and then solemnly thanked Liu Feng: "Feng, thank you for bringing Piacenza back to Serie A."

Alberto Gilardino, a product of Piacenza's youth training, who spent his youth in Piacenza, represented the team in Serie A for the first time in 2000 and showed his talent that season.

It's a pity that that season was the beginning of Piacenza's degeneration. It was obviously of little use to rely on a new star who was just 20 years old and played in the top league for the first time.

After staying in the team for another season, Gilardino could only go away with regret and left the club where he trained himself to go to Verona. In the next few years, his career began to climb to the peak. After moving to Parma, he finally reached the peak in AC Milan.

In 2007, when Milan won the Champions League, Gilardino was one of the members of the team.

Then in the 2007-2008 season, he gradually lost his position in the team after the team introduced the Brazilian golden boy Pato.

From the perspective of others, Gilardino's career development is still very smooth, but he has always had a regret in his heart, that is, watching his home team sink in Serie B, but he has no courage to return to Piacenza to help the team.

This guilt has been with him until that day, when the whole city of Piacenza was set on fire by a player named Super Maple, and Gilardino had to make up for his greatest regret. Therefore, in his opinion, the Chinese player in front of him is completely worthy of his thanks.

"Forehead?"

Liu Feng naturally didn't know what was going on in Gilardino's mind. He actually knew something about Gilardino, but it was all about his deeds during his stay in Milan. He only learned that Gilardino was also a member of the Piacenza youth team before the game from Francini, who had retired behind the scenes: "This is what I should do as a player, and this is not due to me alone."

"Yeah, but I won't let it go in this game." Gilardino nodded. Liu Feng's reaction was very mature, fully in line with the identity of a captain. Subconsciously, he didn't even feel that standing in front of him was a 19-year-old player.

"Haha, Alberto, you don't need to put water, and Feng won't like it."

While the two were chatting for a while, Maurantanio, who was at the end of the team, came over. As one of the few players in the team who has been playing for the club, Tanio knew Gilardino.

"Shh!"

The referee's whistle interrupted the conversation between the two sides, and Liu Feng, as the captain of Piacenza, quickly walked over to start the captain's finger-guessing session.

This time, the Fiorentina team won the right to choose. Viola, who is good at opening and attacking, simply chose the right to kick-off, which fits the team's tactics very well. After the opponent chose the right to kick-off, Liu Feng raised his hand and gestured to his teammates who had scattered all over the court.

That is the unique communication gesture that Conte specially created for the players in the stadium. After all, sometimes when the opposing player is nearby, what he shouts is undoubtedly to expose the secrets of the team.

"Oh, Fiorentina has chosen the right to kick-off. Now that the two teams have lined up, the game will start soon!" Liu Jianhong couldn't wait at this moment. As a commentator, his other identity is a hard-core Liu Feng fan, and he was very excited to see Liu Feng play again.

"Shhhh!!!"

The referee blew the whistle, and the game officially kicked off. Gilardino, who was standing on the serving point, received the ball from his teammate Montenegro teenager Jovetic in front of him, and then he passed the ball to Mutu who was standing in the midfield area. He turned around and ran away with Jovetic.

"Violet has repeatedly used the team's rush to open the scoring this season, and their tactics in this game are obviously arranged in the same way. Let's see if Piacenza is prepared for this?"

At the Frankie Stadium, the cheers and drumming of countless Fiorentina fans resounded through the sky as the team's offense unfolded. When Fiorentina simply controlled the ball in the midfield and opened up Piacenza's formation, Viola also started their first round of offense.

Mutu, as the core of Viola's current midfielder, has a very good vision. After falling down with several teammates behind him, he found a gap in Piacenza's midfield position when he took the ball again. He immediately drew the ball and pushed it quickly from the gap.

"Mutu, beautiful through ball! Jovetic, who is extremely fast, gets the ball before Nainggolan approaches, oh, he passes the ball again, the ball is on the pitch!"

The extremely high passing success rate and the fast advancing speed are all the sharp weapons of Viola's attack, and they also played a great role at this moment.

However, Piacenza’s defense line, which Conte had already given countless vaccinations, was not really as thin as paper. When the ball was separated from Jovetic’s feet and just arrived at Gilardino’s feet in front of the arc top of the penalty area, Nocerino, who moved in time, shoveled the ball out with a clean tackle.

The ball returned to Piacenza's feet.

This battle between dragons and tigers has officially kicked off.
