Chapter 635 The Crux Resolved

"It was the first goal of the game. The Palermo players broke through Piacenza's defense through a smooth coordination. The whole process was very smooth."

As a commentator, Liu Jianhong naturally didn't just say what was good for Piacenza. He gave a very pertinent evaluation after the goal was born.

"Pastore and Bertolo, introduced by Palermo in the summer window, played a very important role in this goal. They have made great contributions to the team's stable record this season."

On the field, the celebration of the Palermo team was also very open. At the opponent's home court, this group of players enjoyed the pure joy brought to them by scoring and leading.

"Pay attention to your position!"

On the contrary, most of the Piacenza players lowered their heads and listened to Conte's roar at the sidelines. Obviously, the young coach lost the ball so helplessly to the team: "Don't let them pass by easily, are you dozing off?!!"

This diametrically opposed atmosphere lasted until the game resumed, and Conte's roar still played a certain role. When the ball was given to the teammates behind him again by Liu Feng, who was standing in the middle circle, the Piacenza players obviously did not slip away.

Although they didn't create any good chances in the second half of the first half, no matter how rampant Pastore and others were, they never got as good chances as before.

In this way, as the referee blew the whistle for the end of halftime, the first half of the game came to an end.

Under the leadership of Conte, the Piacenza players quickly returned to the locker room. The situation of one goal behind cannot be stalemate. Conte has been thinking about the countermeasures since the team fell into a passive position. Up to now, he has an initial idea.

"We are playing defensive counterattack!" Papapa banged the tactical board next to his hand. After closing the locker room door, Conte seriously scanned the players off the field: "What are you playing? Do you need me to call all the forwards back to the bus!"

The players naturally didn't dare to take Conte's words. They were one goal behind and did not show any possibility of regaining their level. They did spend all their energy on defense in the first half as Conte said.

"A Feng only had one shot, and Cassia only touched the ball twice. If you don't give the ball to them, do you want them to grab it by themselves?"

Focusing on the midfielder, Conte saw Gilardino first: "Alberto, if you can't handle the ball behind you well, I will think about it for a while and replace you directly!"

This was a real move, even the experienced Gilardino didn't dare to show his aura at the moment. In the first half, he was in a mediocre state compared to the opponent's young midfielder, which really paled in comparison.

"Ramirez, Antonio, you moved forward in the second half, between Alberto and Raimondi."

I don't know how many times, the team's three-defense midfield formation has not been fully maintained. Conte has realized that the attributes of his players at the moment may not be suitable for playing this formation. At the same time, he did not want to give up his emphasis on defense. He chose a compromise.

"Whether it's offense or defense, I hope to see you!"

"Understand the boss!"

The two named naturally agreed repeatedly. Ramirez and Nocerino are both offensive and defensive players. Due to the awkward position in the first half, the two of them played quite uncomfortable. At this moment, there is no objection to Conte's arrangement.

"We are already behind. Don't play so rigidly in the second half. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. Press out. I want you to get the score back as soon as possible."

The adjustment of the formation is only one aspect. What makes Conte even more troublesome is the state of the players. After the first half of the game, he has realized that the state of the players will not be adjusted in a short while, but mental stimulation is still necessary.

"Listen to the voices of the fans, I don't think any of you want to lose the game like this."

"Don't want a coach!"

"Very well, then give me your best!"

"Roar!"

On the football field, verbal stimulation is always very effective for the young players. At least when Conte sat back in his seat, the atmosphere of the players in the room was more than a little higher than that at the end of halftime.

Soon, the staff knocked on the door of Piacenza's locker room on time, and under the leadership of Liu Feng, Piacenza returned to the court again.

"Good audience friends, welcome back to the game site, the second half of the game will start soon."

Without those cumbersome group photos and finger-guessing sessions before the start of the game, shortly after Liu Jianhong's voice reappeared, the two teams after the half-time exchange had already stood on the court.

"Shh!!!"

"The game restarted. The Palermo team took the ball. As always, they maintained the tactics of the first half and pressed towards Piacenza!"

First Miccoli and the left and right midfielders on both sides, then the front midfielder Pastore, and then the two midfielders behind him. The Palermo team has a very wide formation, but there are no obvious loopholes, which makes their opponents somewhat invisible.

However, unlike the first half, Piacenza was no longer obsessed with guarding his own one-acre three-point field. Although he couldn't find a good opportunity for a while, Ramirez and Nocerino, who had already advanced their positions, quickly joined the contest with the opponent's midfielder and frontcourt.

For a while, as the Piacenza team became fiercer, the situation of the Palermo team, which was a little caught off guard, began to slowly disintegrate. They no longer cruised in the hinterland of Piacenza's midfield, but slowly shifted the area where they fought to the center circle.

"Conte once again adjusted the formation of the diamond midfielder, and now it seems that this adjustment is quite effective."

As the game passed minute by minute, Liu Jianhong, who was explaining the game, had to nod repeatedly for Conte's methods: "The ability to quickly find the crux of the team is not the ability of every coach."

On the court, as Piacenza slowly pushed out the formation, they finally began to have more offensive opportunities of their own. Liu Feng, who frequently failed to touch the ball in the first half, began to take the ball continuously, and his state began to warm up with one touch.

As for Cassia in front of him, he has firmly found his position as a beacon, and has created many threats with his excellent header skills in the team's several midfield long passes.

The Piacenza fans in the stands also cheered for the team's offensive recovery, but an unavoidable problem made them more and more worried while cheering.

"The game has come to seven and 10 minutes, and Piacenza is still 0-1 behind at home..."
