Chapter 485 A New Tactical Attempt
When Piacenza started multi-line combat in the new season, the team's schedule was no longer as relaxed as before, and every day seemed very rushed.

Five days after the match against Milan, Piacenza will play Catania at home.

Conte also gave the whole team a day off. In this way, only four days were left for them to prepare for training. The players entered the high-intensity training arranged by Conte almost after a day of training.

At the Piacenza training ground, from the assembly in the morning to the disbandment in the afternoon, the players had no time to distract themselves on the court except for a chat in the restaurant at noon.

Even so, Conte seems to be dissatisfied with the results of the training. In the eyes of this young coach, the team's recovery after playing against AC Milan is very limited.

This is not the first time that Conte has led the team in multi-line combat. He has already led the team in the Coppa Italia and the league in Serie B. However, it is clear that the two-line battle between the league and the Champions League is not the same intensity as before.

At the same time, in the Piacenza team, except for a few players like Gilardino, many people are facing such a situation for the first time.

Therefore, most of the team members don't know how to maintain their proper state in various battles, and Conte is still in the stage of crossing the river by feeling the stones.

This made the recovery of Piacenza's state very difficult. When Conte announced the starting lineup in the conference room the day before Catania's attack, most of the players' state was only slightly better than when they fought against Milan.

"We played 442 in this game, with Feng and Gilardino as two forwards."

Conte had used up his melancholy in the past few days of training with hysterical roars, and he was a little weak when he stood in front of the players and announced the list.

"Paul is the front midfielder, Racha is the midfielder, and Ramoni and Nocerino are on the left and right sides of Racha."

Quickly read out the list that he finally got, and it is generally based on the team's strongest combat power: "Miranda and Astori partner at double backs, and Vitale and Wolff serve as left and right wing backs."

This is the fastest time for Conte to read the roster. When he finished reading and sat next to the tactical board, the players were a little surprised.

"We will not play offense in this game." Conte didn't care about the expressions of the players. He pulled the tactical board towards him: "Let's defend and counterattack."

After Conte took over Piacenza, he seldom paid attention to defense like traditional Italian coaches. In fact, he preferred the team's 442 to 442 or even 433 offensive formation.

But any good offense must be behind a lot of physical exertion. Piacenza's current fatigue is definitely related to his open and closed style of play after the start of the game.

Therefore, at this time, Conte had to make a new choice, whether to continue to bite the bullet and rush, or to study new tactics that can better maintain the player's state.

Obviously, according to the overview of a series of defensive cooperation and quick counterattacks that Conte then told the players, he chose to compromise.

The style of a team is always changeable. They may leave a very deep impression on the world, but they will never be static in the game.

And the local coach Conte, who was born in Cobain, Italy, does not have a shallow understanding of defense like some coaches who focus on offense.

Having played for the old woman for many years, he has learned the essence of Italian defense from Lippi and other famous coaches who have created the old woman's style.

In this way, he arranged the defensive counterattack tactics in Piacenza in an orderly manner.

"In short, I need you to pay more attention to the cooperation between each other when defending, instead of rushing forward to press forward rashly. The entire defense line must be synchronized with me!"

"Understand Coach!"

The players have always obeyed the coach's arrangement. When Conte made all the arrangements, everyone did not have any objections to this. Some defensive players also quickly raised questions to Conte, and Conte gave proper answers one by one.

After the tactical speech, the team members disbanded on the spot and went home to adjust the state of tomorrow's home game.

Liu Feng and Gilardino were left by Conte for a while at the end. The young coach once again emphasized to them the importance of the two in defensive counterattack tactics.

The two naturally nodded in agreement, and said that they would do their best in tomorrow's game.

On the second day, the entire Piacenza team gathered at the Leonardo Stadium in advance. Under the leadership of Conte, the team completed the warm-up before the arrival of the visiting team and returned to the locker room early.

"The league is a very long-lasting rally. Once someone loses strength, they will be eliminated. We have not won two consecutive rounds. This time we must win at home!"

Conte made his final speech in front of the players. After the last round of draw with AC Milan, Piacenza's current league ranking has reached No.6. The start of this season obviously does not have the vigor of last season.

"So cheer me up, everyone! If you want to hear that people's comments about us are just short-lived, just continue to sleepwalk like you were on stage."

"I don't want to!"

Conte responded with loud shouts from his players, much to his satisfaction: "Very well, then get ready for me!"

"Understand the boss!"

The atmosphere in the locker room was a lot brighter than yesterday, at least that fighting spirit had been ignited.

When the staff's reminder came from outside the door, Liu Feng, the captain, stood up first: "I only have one sentence, don't forget where this is!"

"Piacenza!"

"Set off!"

Filed out, tit-for-tat, Catania and Piacenza, who were also stimulated by the coach in the locker room, stood side by side in the player tunnel. Although it was not a deadly rivalry, the fighting spirit of the two teams was still clearly audible.

"CCTV, CCTV, hello viewers and friends, welcome to the seventh round of the 2009-2010 Serie A season when Piacenza played against Catania at home. I am the commentator Liu Jianhong!"

Familiar opening remarks, familiar voice, when the two teams started preparing for various matters before the game on the court, Liu Jianhong's figure appeared on the screen at the right time.

Soon, the two teams on the court had also finished their positions, and the two forwards of the Catania team, who had won the right to kick-off through the captain's finger-guessing, were standing opposite each other in front of the tee-off point.

"Shh!!!"

With the whistle of the referee, the static scene on the field was instantly broken.

"Okay, the game has officially started!!!"
