Chapter 473 A Cautious Start
"I understand your nervousness very well."

In the Piacenza locker room, Conte no longer had the yelling attitude he had just warmed up. He stood with his hands crossed in front of the players.

"Honestly, the first time I played in the Champions League, I didn't do too well."

Listening quietly to the coach's words, the locker room, which was always bustling before the game, seemed a little quiet today.

"That game, we seemed to lose, and we seemed to win. Shit! You see, I can't even remember what happened in that game."

Conte slowly told his story, and he smiled after not knowing whether he lost or won his first Champions League game.

"However, there is one thing I remember very clearly, that is, when I walked into the stands of the team fans after I played nervously, I heard a rough voice shouting at me."

After a pause, under the curious eyes of the players, Conte squeezed his throat and made his voice thicker: "That guy yelled at me very rudely: Hey, kid, you're fucking good!"

"Hahaha."

Some players with a low laugh were already amused by the voice of their coach in a strange tone, and then Conte's words made the whole locker room get rid of that depressive silence for a moment.

"Actually, I was so nervous that I peed my pants in that game, but when that guy yelled at me like that, I suddenly became less nervous. I still remember that I responded very loudly to that fan: Thank you for your fucking compliment!!!"

"Hahahahahaha..."

For a while, when Conte, who was more and more coach-like in his 40s, yelled that sentence in a young man's tone, all the players in Piacenza were happy.

"What I want to tell you is very simple. You can come to this step and step onto the stage of the Champions League, which shows that you are no worse than anyone else. Don't be afraid."

After a pause, Conte waved his hand: "I hope that after this game, you can also let the fans say that this group of boys played well."

"Coach, it's a fucking good game!"

"Haha, that's right El, just playing a fucking good game!"

"So, hold your head up, let's play the fucking Champions League together!!!"

"Roar!!!"

When the cheerful atmosphere faded away from the tension, the young people of the Piacenza team finally radiated the blood of young people again.

Some old players in the team who had experienced big battles were also mobilized for a long time at this moment, and the momentum of the team was instantly erected.

"Bang bang bang."

At this moment, the door of the locker room was also knocked by the staff, obviously the game was finally about to kick off.

"Don't forget what you are fighting for, go for it!"

With a big wave of Conte's hand, the players rushed out of the locker room following the captain Maurantanio, and the substitute players followed Conte to the bench to take their seats.

"Feng, how do you feel?"

Walking off the court, Conte did not forget to look at Super Maple, whose team did not appear in this game, with concern in his eyes.

"No problem, coach." Touching his left calf, Liu Feng raised his head: "I can help you at any time."

"it is good!"

"CCTV, CCTV, hello, viewers and friends!"

At 3:45 a.m. BJ time, when the familiar opening song of the UEFA Champions League finished playing, CCTV5's footage was locked on the Leonardo Stadium.

Liu Jianhong, who was in the commentary booth of the stadium, also appeared with a smile in front of all the audience watching in front of the TV.

"Welcome to the first round of the 2009-2010 UEFA Champions League Group H match between Piacenza and CSKA Moscow at home. I am the commentator Liu Jianhong, and I am here to bring you live commentary at the match site!"

"Piacenza! Piacenza! Piacenza!"

During the time when Liu Jianhong was reading his opening remarks, the captains of the two teams had already finished their boxing games and stood in their respective halfs, and the stands in all directions of the stadium began to erupt with loud shouts.

The fans of Piacenza are using their best efforts to send the clarion call for their team to start the first game of the Champions League.

"Shh!!!"

Then, the referee gave a sharp whistle and officially announced the start of the game.

"Okay, Gilardino kicked the ball out, and the ball passed through Ganso's feet and quickly came to the midfield. Oh, it seems that Piacenza chose a steady start in this game. Then I will introduce you to the starting list of the two teams."

Facing the team's first Champions League game and the players were not in good condition, Conte's layout for this game was very conservative. He prepared a 442 formation for the team.

Gilardino and Aubameyang partnered as two forwards, Ganso served as the team's midfielder, Nainggolan played dual tasks of defense and offense at the right rear, and Ramirez and Nocerino spread out two wings in the midfield, one left and one right.

The defensive layout, from left to right, is Vitale, Miranda, Scarpelli and Wolfre. As for the goalkeeper, Maurantagno, the captain of Piacenza in this game, will serve as the goalkeeper.

This is an all-main lineup, and for the first time, Conte did not arrange any risky tactics for the team. He steadily made proper arrangements for CSKA Moscow at all stages of the team.

Under the premise that the players are not in good condition, Conte's mentality was to keep the tie and win from the beginning.

CSKA Moscow has a 433 formation. From the very beginning of the game, this Russian Super League giants showed their ambition to play against the away game.

In this team, there are also many players who are more noteworthy and more threatening.

The team's left winger has been in the Chilean national team in recent years with Marc Gonzalez, who has been at ease.

The core midfielder of the team is the genius Milos Krasic, who started his career at the age of 15, and the 190cm high school defender Sergey Ignashevich, who has been selected as the best team in the Russian Super League for nine consecutive years, and so on. Each of these players is very threatening.

The two teams showed a completely different tone at the beginning of the game, but they are still in the tentative stage.

Although the charge was relatively fierce, CSKA Moscow was obviously still afraid of Piacenza's counterattack ability, and did not push the lineup too far when Piacenza's backcourt fell.

The Piacenza team is also more likely to control the ball in the midfield area through Ganso, who is good at handling the ball, and Nainggolan, who is strong in confrontation.

The duo of Gilardino and Aubameyang didn't have much to offer in the opening 10 minutes.

However, in competitive sports, it is naturally impossible to practice Tai Chi forever. After the cautious start of the game, the two teams began to show their backs.
