Chapter 466 Live in the moment
When the draw ceremony officially came to an end, a series of UEFA awards ceremony began on the scene. Except for the best defensive player, a series of UEFA Champions League awards this season were distributed one by one.

The people of Piacenza, who had nothing to do with this, had already given up their minds on this matter. Even Liu Feng had already taken out his computer and quickly browsed the information of the three teams he was going to play against in the Champions League.

First, there is the extremely young gunner under Professor Wenger. This team has a series of top players such as Cesc Fabregas, Van Persie, Rosicky, Arshavin, etc. Although it is not as dominant as in previous years in the Premier League, it has never been out of the group stage for so many years.

And the other three teams are indeed not stronger than the Gunners in any aspect, so it is very likely that Piacenza will compete with the other two teams for another qualifying list in Group H.

So Liu Feng focused more on CSKA Moscow and Wolfsburg, but the series of names did not bring him any clear feelings.

He doesn't usually pay much attention to the Russian Super League and the Bundesliga. He can only wait until Conte analyzes the opponent's strength for them.

After the whole ceremony, the schedule for the first round of the UEFA Champions League group is also freshly released. Piacenza's first UEFA Champions League match of the season is scheduled for September 9.

That is to say, after the end of the next round of the league and the next week after an international competition week, Piacenza will officially usher in a weekly double match schedule, and when the Serie A team officially enters the Coppa Italia competition in December, they are likely to have a devil schedule of three matches a week.

But what's better is that Piacenza's first double-match a week is played at home, which saves them the pain of trekking, which is very helpful for them to get a good start in the Champions League.

On the second day, after the lottery ceremony came to an end, the major media began to frequently report on the focus of attention after the grouping. The Italian media naturally focused their reports on the four domestic teams.

As the first team representing Serie A to participate in the UEFA Champions League, Piacenza became the most discussed team in Italy for a while. Everyone was a little worried about whether this young team, which had begun to show an unstable posture in the game, could withstand the pressure of the UEFA Champions League.

Of course, some people also suggested that it is unscientific to conclude that there is a problem with Piacenza's state based on only one draw. Therefore, fans and media who agreed with this point of view focused their attention on Piacenza's next round of competition.

At the Piacenza training base, the players gathered early in the morning after the draw. Before the arrival of the coach, everyone gathered together to chat about the team's opponents. It wasn't until Conte came to the scene with a cold face that everyone's discussions gradually quieted down.

"Presumably you already know our opponent."

Conte's expression was always tense, which made the players dare not speak loudly: "Here I can tell you clearly that this group is very serious. With your current state, we can only go home from the bottom!"

"Coach..." Scarpelli said immediately, but after seeing Conte's murderous eyes, he still shut his mouth wisely.

"I know you have a big one, but it doesn't help. What I need is your attitude on the pitch. Don't forget the game that just ended. You need to reflect on it than the Champions League game that is still a lot of time away."

"understand!"

Everyone finally understood what Conte was thinking, recalling the unpleasant game against Palermo, the players who played in that game tensed up.

They still remember that Conte said that if he is not satisfied with the result of the game, he will reconsider the candidate for the main position.

"It's good to understand. Now, everyone warm up for me. In the past few days, I will focus on examining the state and attitude of all of you!"

"Roar!"

With a shout, leaving other things behind, the players stood in two teams and quickly started running in circles on the track of the training base.

Then, after the warm-up ended, Conte obviously didn't want to let them rest, quickly took out a new training schedule, and practiced his team hard.

When the players were immersed in the daily training, the time also passed unknowingly.

It was the day before the fourth round of Serie A. As usual, Conte ended the training early this afternoon and called the players to the conference room.

"I am very satisfied with the training these days."

Before starting to announce the squad and the starting list, Conte first affirmed the group of young people in front of him. Although there are problems in stability, the youth of the players does make them full of energy in some aspects.

"Then, our formation for tomorrow's game is 433..."

After a series of arrangements, Conte set the main tone for the team's home game against Atlanta tomorrow.

Putting on the 433 formation, he undoubtedly wants to reproduce the glory of the second round against Atlanta, so that the media who have begun to point fingers at his coaching team will shut up.

In terms of striker arrangement, he didn't have many choices and put Cassia on the bench again this time. Liu Feng, Gilardino and Aubameyang became the trident of this game.

This is by no means purely aimless, because facing a team similar to Palermo like Atlanta, forwards with stronger personal abilities are often more able to create threats. Gilardino's state has improved significantly in recent days of training, and Conte has no reason not to choose him.

Under the midfield arrangement, Ganso, who got the starting position as soon as the team joined the team, unexpectedly did not appear in the starting lineup. Obviously, after the game against Palermo had exposed his weaknesses to the fullest, Conte did not want the opponent to use this as a breaking point for breaking his own side.

Regarding this point, Conte has talked to Ganso alone in the past few days of training, and has arranged a separate plan for him in daily strength training.

Therefore, after arranging Nainggolan to serve as the team's front midfielder, with Nocerino behind him, Conte used Raimondi, who has been performing steadily in substitute games after joining the team in the winter window of last season.

In terms of the arrangement of the back four, Wolfer, who has been lackluster in recent rounds, was taken down, with De Silvestri and Vitale on the left and right respectively. As for the combination of central defenders, it is the combination of Miranda and Scarpelli who have completely recovered from minor injuries.

After the list was arranged, there was naturally another impassioned oath, and the Piacenza players became aggressive again under the leadership of Conte.

For a while, everyone focused on the present, and Atlanta, which defeated the door-to-door challenge, became the most important thing in the hearts of the players.
