Chapter 319

This season, when Piacenza returned to Serie A after a long absence as a newly promoted team, almost no one would believe that after half a season, Piacenza could occupy the top four positions in Serie A.

However, the fact happened like this. This team, which was expected to be difficult to relegation at the beginning of the game, broke out with extraordinary strength and became the only super dark horse in the five major leagues this season. Even Piacenza's record was once better than Juventus, who had just been promoted from Serie B after the phone call.

When the last game of the winter break ended and Piacenza won 3:0 at home to keep the No.4 position, some bold predictions about Piacenza's ranking at the end of the season also came out.

Note that this is the European game, that is to say, although Piacenza is still ranked fourth in the league and has a proper place in the Champions League, people are still not optimistic that this team can maintain its current position at the end of the season.

Because the five major leagues have not lost dark horses in recent years, people have placed high hopes on them. However, when the league has reached the last third of the schedule, none of these dark horses can withstand the final pressure.

If it weren't for the emergence of several young talents in the dark horse team of Piacenza who are recognized by major professional media as top player seedlings, those authoritative figures who gave estimates would have to lower their guesses on Piacenza's results by a few gears.

Therefore, after being included in the lottery, Piacenza's most reasonable ranking is set to No.6, a position that missed the Champions League but has direct qualifications for the Europa League.

However, these predictions changed again after Liu Feng, the soul of Piacenza, publicly announced the team's goals for this season for the first time. Liu Feng has always been known for his modesty and politeness in media interviews, which made Italian fans love this Chinese player very much.But this time he spoke out the goals of the team without hesitation.

So did Piacenza prepare some secret weapon, or was there any special style of play that did not appear in Piacenza’s previous games? For a while, the media had different opinions, and some media who were good at fabricating even personally wrote one possible tactical evolution for Piacenza.

At this time, Liu Feng and the whole Piacenza team have re-entered a new round of training. The holiday has just ended, and Conte did not talk about taking a day off after the team won the game. He just arranged the training program as recovery training on the second day after the game.

After the captain revealed the team's lofty goals, the team members worked hard in training. This young team, who set a series of records at the beginning of Serie A, implemented the various training programs arranged by Conte very seriously.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but you must at least have enough strength, otherwise what you say will not be realized, and it will not only lose the face of one person, but the face of the entire team. After all, it is not unheard of in football to be ridiculed by a group of people after talking big.

Therefore, no matter how the outside world discusses this matter, Piacenza's interior has turned into a single-minded focus on training.

And the time passed without knowing it, and soon it was the day before the match day of the No.19 round of Serie A.

On this day, Conte once again summoned the players in advance to announce the squad. Tomorrow they will sit at home against Genoa who came to challenge.

The lineup arranged by Conte in this round of the league is not much different from the previous game, except that Cassia, who is in better condition in training, was replaced at the center position, and at the position of full back, the team was sent for the first time.

Wolfer, who was replaced by Vitale, was on standby on the team's bench. In other positions, Conte did not make adjustments and continued the arrangement of the game.

So, with all the players in Piacenza gearing up, the No. 19 round of Serie A officially started.

Piacenza's opponent in this game is also not an underdog, but they have been quietly catching up since the middle of the first half of the season, and finally reached the No.5 position in the league after the end of the last round of the league, only two points away from the previous one, Piacenza.

Yes, although Piacenza has lost quite a few games since the start of the game, it can't handle too many draws. This leads to a good record, but the points are not dominant.

So after Piacenza just announced in the media that the team's goal is to be in the Champions League this season, whether it can hold the fourth place in the hands of the menacing Genoa has become a crucial battle.

Under the eyes of everyone's anticipation, the time soon came to the second day. The game, which started at [-] pm BJ time, had already reached the countdown before the start of the game. Both teams had finished their warm-up session on the field and were waiting to enter the field in their respective locker rooms.

"Friends of the audience, this game is another strong duel. Piacenza will play at home against the old Serie A team Genoa. They are now ranked fourth and fifth in the league."

Liu Jianhong, who appeared in the commentary room early, has already begun to mobilize the atmosphere of the fans. Like countless fans standing in front of the TV, he is looking forward to Piacenza's performance after the announcement of his ambition. Unlike those media who are not optimistic about Piacenza, he has full confidence in Liu Feng.

"Okay, now the referee leads the two teams into the field!"

……

"Hush!!!"

On the court, after the two teams stood up quickly, the referee blew the whistle to start the game, and the game officially kicked off.

Liu Feng, who won the captain's boxing game, directly chose the kick-off right. Piacenza took the initiative from the very beginning. They firmly controlled the ball at their feet and started the team's first attack after pulling out all the players of the Genoa team.

This was an attack that quickly transitioned from Piacenza's backcourt to the frontcourt. Every player in excellent condition handled this attack perfectly, and the ball quickly came to the threat area with almost no pause.

And soon, Piacenza's lightning-fast attack directly detonated the entire Leonardo Stadium.

　Chapter 2 here! The ranking of Serie A in the 08-09 season is indeed quite evil. It can be said that the civilian club is the closest to the Champions League. This year, with Piacenza's state, it is really possible to try it out.
