Chapter 323 The Fire Is Still Burning

After this complete victory, Conte also gave the players another day off.

The excited people after winning the game also spent the holiday with a very happy attitude that was exchanged for the hard work of all the team members, including Liu Feng.

After dealing with the information that Chen Xu and Li Peng came to bring to him in the morning to confirm the business of the first branch of the restaurant, he had a rare and happy game time in the afternoon, controlling the villain whose face shape was constantly updated in the live broadcast.

However, although the game was very fun, he still put it down at dusk, put on the winter training clothes he got from the club and went out for a short run and warm-up training. For Liu Feng, the game characters were still a bit too rigid to play, and he was still comfortable in reality.

On the second day, the players who were still in the joy of victory reassembled at the club and began to prepare for the next round of the league under the leadership of Conte.

After experiencing the ups and downs of several consecutive away games in the first half of the season, the home and away arrangement of the Piacenza game in the second half of the season is much more comfortable. The No.20 round of Serie A is the next round, and they still play at home.

Piacenza will play at home against the Red Bull Turin team who came to challenge. Yes, it is their first opponent after returning to Serie A this season.

That was the game when Piacenza announced a strong comeback. Piacenza, who played away, relied on the joint efforts of a group of young players to win that game with a score of 3:1. At that time, it was called a big upset by many media.

But now, no one will say that anymore, because compared to Piacenza, which is still ranked fourth and only one point away from the previous one, the current Red Bull has long lost his spirit. The Turin team is now ranked No. 18 in the league.

Without the hype of the two teams, there is no foreshadowing. The media obviously do not regard this game as a popular game. If there is, they are only concerned about whether Piacenza can win three consecutive victories instead of an unexpected draw or something.

This is not because the media and reporters despise the Turin team, but because there are constant discord among the generals within the team, and the Turin team, which is also in conflict with the head coach and senior management, really can't see anything that can win Piacenza.

Time flies, a week of training comes to an end in a blink of an eye, and soon it is the day before the start of the No.20 round of Serie A.

In this game, Conte made a decision to rotate after repeatedly studying the opponent information collected by the coaching staff for himself. He believes that dealing with Turin, which is hardly in a competitive state, does not require a full main lineup.

Flocari, Aubameyang, Marchisio and Astori were directly notified the day before the game that they were not on the squad for the game and could take a good rest.

Liu Feng, De Silvestri, and Nainggolan were also placed on the substitute list. There are only a few players left in the main lineup. After more than a dozen rounds, Conte once again used a large number of substitute players in the game. They will play this game together with the new players introduced this season.

After the winter window cleaning, the current players in the Piacenza team are very streamlined, and the remaining players all meet Conte's requirements, or have their own unique tactical characteristics in a certain aspect, so the team's strength this time is much better than the previous large-scale rotation.

But the next day, when Conte officially announced the team's starting roster for this game at the press conference, it still brought a lot of surprises to people. This kind of behavior of rotating almost all the main players of the team is a very risky thing.

After all, no matter how depraved Turin is, his players are still at the Serie A level. Isn't Conte afraid that Turin will suddenly explode because of his contempt and give him a surprise?

The answer is, fear.

But Conte is more afraid of the team's collapse in the final stage of the league, so he finally chose to believe in the team's substitute players and new aid.

Of course, Liu Feng, Nainggolan and others sitting on the bench are also his backers. Once the substitute players are defeated, he doesn't mind putting Piacenza's nuclear weapons directly to refresh Turin and let the opponent know who is the master here.

As a result, the game officially started with the media and fans talking about it.

The captain of Piacenza, who sits at home, is the team's goalkeeper Maurantanio. He won the kick-off for the team in the captain's boxing game, which means that Piacenza has taken the initiative from the very beginning.

Afterwards, a group of substitute players who finally got a chance for Piacenza proved to those who were optimistic about Piacenza's lineup after learning about it that even a substitute player who has been unable to play can also explode. Great power.

In the 20th minute of the game, Piacenza declared his sovereignty with a beautiful goal.

First, Tozka, who served as the team's defensive midfielder in this game, cut off the ball at the feet of the Turin striker in the backcourt, and then directly passed the ball to Padalino, who was re-appointed as the core of the team's midfielder after a long time.

After taking the ball, Padalino showed his excellent passing skills in the midfield, passing through the middle of the two double-teamed Turin midfielders with a beautiful Marseille maneuver in a one-two situation.

Then he took the ball directly and split the side. Waughl, who returned from the position of full-back to the position of full-back on the right, was full of momentum. After receiving a pass from Padalino, he rushed to the bottom line with full power on the right.

However, Wolfer, who was obviously in good shape and hot at the moment, didn't give him a chance at all. After taking the ball to the diagonally opposite position on the right corner of the penalty area, Wolfer made an emergency stop to pull the ball away and opened the kicking distance away from the chasing opponent's defender.

Then a 45-degree pass from the right flew straight into the penalty area. Cassia, who occupied the absolute core position in Conte's high-altitude ball tactics in this game, once again won the contest with the central defender. A record of Taishan overwhelmed the opponent and hit the ball passed by Wolff.

"Oh!"

The ball went in, people turned around, and the cheers of the Leonardo Stadium sounded instantly. The morale of the Turin team that had been boosted up because of Piacenza's contempt before the game collapsed at this moment.

Even with the substitute lineup, Piacenza's fire to win still has no meaning to go out.
