Chapter 670

On the same day, after announcing all the rosters, Conte directly signaled to disband. He did not explain to Liu Feng and Nainggolan who were sitting below with shining eyes.

For the players who are extremely looking forward to playing against top teams, Conte really does not want to tell them directly that in order to allow their physical condition to recover in this month, he has decided to strategically abandon this game against AC Milan.

After all, according to the past experience of playing against Milan, although they have an overall advantage in winning and losing, they have not shed a layer of skin after the game.

The difficult game against Milan that ended in a penalty shootout was not too long ago, and Conte is not willing to exhaust the energy of the players for this game that is destined to be difficult but actually has little impact on the league as a whole.

Liu Feng, Nainggolan and others who were pushed on the bench knew that it was useless to say anything after the coach's arrangement had been made, so they simply didn't ask each other to leave.

And this is also the first time that Liu Feng did not appear on the starting list when the team was about to meet a heavyweight opponent.

On the second day, when the Milan bus drove into Piacenza in the afternoon sun, the game atmosphere in the whole city was completely heated up. Countless Piacenza fans made loud noises on both sides of the street, trying to gain some psychological advantages for the team before the game started.

However, the veterans in the AC Milan team who have gone through countless storms are obviously not affected much.

As the game time approached, players from the two teams appeared on the Leonardo Stadium one after another. The two sides warmed up each half of the time, and the media leaders of the two teams also announced their respective starting lists four or ten minutes before the game was about to start.

When the list was announced, the fans were dumbfounded, followed by the commentators in the commentary room, and finally the coaches of the two teams, Conte and Leonardo.

So, let's take a look at what causes this condition.

Piacenza's starting roster has already been selected, and Conte directly took half of the main players bye, and used 4231, which is obviously based on defensive counterattack and conservative play, to face a strong opponent at home.

However, what people never expected was that AC Milan's lineup for this game was not much better than Piacenza.

Borriello, Pato, Mancini, Flamini, Ambrosini, and Ronaldinho, who has gradually faded out of Milan's main roster, are the midfield players that appear in Milan's starting roster.

As for the defensive players in the future, Nesta, who has been in good form after returning from injury, is gone. Odo, who is also a veteran, appeared in the starting list. Zambrotta, who has been firmly established as the team's main full-back this season, was replaced by Jankulovski, who has gradually become a substitute.

The only things that are still stable are the younger sister-in-law who has been gradually brought out by Nesta and the young player Abate who has finally returned to Milan this season after several wanderings and has directly secured a position as a full-back.

As for the goalkeeper, since Milan and Piacenza's fierce Coppa Italia ended, the former goalkeeper Dida has been pressed on the bench, and Abbiati has become the Rossoneri's starter.

Such a lineup looks pretty good in detail, but people who are familiar with the situation of this Milan game are very clear that AC Milan actually sent half of the substitute players.

This is not over yet, as the time from the start of the game gets shorter and shorter, when the two teams followed the referee into the field and quickly stood up for the kick-off, a more interesting scene happened.

"Milan, who chose the right to kick-off, kicked off first. Pato, who received a pass from Borriello, gave the ball to Ronaldinho, who served as the midfielder. Ronaldinho continued to pass back, and Ambrosini took the ball."

Although Liu Feng did not appear in the big list, Liu Jianhong's commentary was still very enthusiastic. After the opening, he scanned the formation slowly unfolded by the two sides at the fastest speed, and then found a very interesting point.

"It can be seen that AC Milan's formation is 4231 in this game. Leonardo chose a relatively safe tactic in this game. As for Piacenza, the formation is also 4231, and after the opening, the team's pressure is also very safe."

If it is said that it is not possible to jump to conclusions at the beginning of the game, then as the game time slowly passed, and the two teams continued to practice Tai Chi in each other's midfield, everything became clear.

Obviously, the Champions League knockout match was only one day earlier than Piacenza, and AC Milan, which had a fierce battle with the European Red Devils Manchester United at home and became 2-3, also encountered the same problem as Piacenza.

It can even be said that it is even more serious. After all, there are too many veteran players in the current Milan team...

The aging Rossoneri may not be as tough as the youth-based Piacenza in the third-line battle. It is no wonder that Leonardo chose the strategy of giving up tactics based on the conclusion that every match against Piacenza this season will consume the team's state.

However, in this way, it is very embarrassing.

The two young coaches both thought that the opponent would choose to rush directly with a large army, so they both arranged the most solid line of defense to prevent the collapse, but the fact is that the two teams played health-preserving football on the field under the coach's arrangement.

When the game time went from 10 minutes, to three 10 minutes, and then to four 10 minutes, Liu Jianhong, who had gradually only described the passing and sporadic attacks of the players on the field, felt a little at a loss for words.

Although Pato, wearing No. 7 of the Rossoneri, worked hard to press and insert in the left midfielder position of the team, but judging from his handling of the ball several times, the state of this young genius is actually not good.

Perhaps the only reason why Leonardo sent him to the field was because the grievance of being overwhelmed by Liu Feng in the last game really needed to be expressed.

It's a pity that this season, Pato, who was directly mentioned as the most hardworking main striker among a group of veteran forwards, can only have more than enough energy but not enough energy. He is actually very tired...

As a result, countless fans from all over the world gathered in front of the TV early to watch this game, which was promoted by the media as a super war, felt cheated when the halftime whistle blew.

Is this still the two teams that bombarded each other with three goals and finally reached a penalty shootout to decide the winner?

Why do you feel that the game is more boring than those weak teams? You must know that rookies can still be pecked.
