Chapter 288
In the afternoon, the Piacenza players gathered at the training base again. Under the leadership of Conte, the players conducted a simple recovery training, and a group of people spent the afternoon talking and laughing.

Starting tomorrow, they will continue to intensively prepare for the away game against Naples six days later. The league is now about to enter the winter break, and it is obvious that some fatigue can be seen in the players, which is unavoidable.

After training in the afternoon, the players dispersed and left the training base. Conte sat alone in the office and looked at the latest physical conditions of the players sent to him by the team doctor. He frowned while watching. According to the team doctor, many players in the team now have various hidden dangers in their bodies.

Sitting at his desk, Conte frowned and looked at the documents in his hands. Since the start of the league, although he has carried out several rotations, in the end, he can only rely on the few main players to stabilize the team's performance.

It can be said that Piacenza can rank among the top three in Serie A with amazing results, and a large part of it is obtained by squeezing the potential and physical fitness of the current main players.

Conte put down the information in his hands and rubbed his forehead. In his heart, he has always maintained a very cautious attitude in using the young players under him, but even so, he also understands that Piacenza is not far away from returning to his original track.

It can be foreseen that in the second half of the season, after the momentum of entering Serie A is exhausted, and other teams continue to grasp more detailed information about Piacenza, Piacenza will soon enter the original track, which is also the track that a newly promoted team should take. 
Before this time, Conte still has to focus on the last two games before the winter window, for example, Naples, who will challenge away in a week. 
The Naples club is the team with the fourth largest number of fans among the many clubs in Serie A, second only to the Milan duo and Juventus. At the end of the last century, when Serie A enjoyed the small World Cup honor, the Argentine football king Maradona was the most shining star of this team. 
In the history of the Naples team, the myth that Maradona led the team to win the championship twice by himself is still the most talked about legend of this team. 
However, after entering the 21st century, the team encountered setbacks. In August 2004, due to economic factors, the Naples club directly declared bankruptcy and was ordered to be relegated. The team had to play in the third division next season. 
It was not until the 2006-2007 season that they were re-promoted to Serie A with the second place in Serie B. After being promoted to Serie A, Naples' performance at the start of last season was very similar to today's Piacenza. 
And this team's performance in the Europa League did not live up to the prestige of Serie A at all. They won consecutive victories in the Europa League group stage, and at the same time, they also performed well in Serie A. Now they are ranked behind Piacenza by two points. 
After the draw with Juventus in the last round of the league, Piacenza is still in the third place in the league, while Naples has taken the opponent lightly and narrowed the distance to Piacenza. 
In this team, quite similar to Piacenza, there are also a group of young talents full of potential, among which Hamsik is the most famous. 
Since joining the team in 2007, this tough player from Czechoslovakia has shown a rocket-like increase in strength. Now at the age of 21, he has secured the main midfield position in the team. Like Piacenza's Nainggolan, this tough player is also a B2B midfielder. 
Due to their similar styles, the two have often been compared by the media this season. However, based on their performance so far, Hamsik's performance has clearly surpassed Nainggolan's. However, this is also related to the fact that the firing power in the Piacenza team is largely concentrated on Liu Feng. 
In the central defender position, there is also Paulo Cannavaro, the younger brother of Fabio Cannavaro, the most successful Italian central defender. Cannavaro Jr. has grown rapidly in Naples in the past few years, and is now in Serie A. It can also be called a titan. 
In other positions, Hofer, Rulo, Maggio and other players can also be regarded as powerful players in their respective positions. Each of these players has made a great contribution to Naples' current No.4 score in Serie A.

Therefore, the next game will undoubtedly be a tough battle against Juventus for Piacenza, let alone an away game.

You know, Naples' home court is one of the few devil's home courts in Serie A.

Conte thought about the next tactics against Naples and seemed a little headache. His players had just fought against Juventus until the last second. It was really difficult to go to the away game to challenge Naples at home.

"Forget it, one step is one step."

After thinking for a long time at the desk, Conte pressed the table and stood up. Up to now, he has no good solution. After all, there is nothing in the world that can make the players return to full state. As the head coach, all Conte can do is to try to prepare the players for this game.

Formulate the most appropriate tactics and choose the best candidates. This is all Conte can do. As for the rest, leave it to the players.

On the second day, the players regrouped, and Conte began to arrange training, which was still targeted training and individual guidance for each position. Conte, a former world-class player, did a great job in this regard.

The players naturally had great trust in the coach in training, and during the training, Piacenza finally suffered an injury.

First, Marchisio suffered a slight thigh strain during the long pass training, and then Flocari suffered an ankle sprain directly after falling to the ground in a training match. Piacenza's good physical condition has been concentrated in this week's training.

In the end, the day before the game, the list handed over to Conte included five wounded players, the two main players Flocari, Marchisio, and Wolfer, and the two main substitutes, Tonucci and Foggia, all suffered injuries.

But fortunately, the injuries of several of them are minor injuries, and they can recover within one to two weeks of training, so it is not particularly unacceptable, but they will definitely not be able to play against Naples in the next round.

And because of the sudden outbreak of injuries, this also caused Conte to encounter a lot of difficulties in the formation.
