football world number one

Chapter 505
Liu Feng never expected that this press conference would bring him such a big change.

After the press conference that day was over, he took the international flight back to Italy with Yuan Xiao and Joao, and witnessed the scene where Joao's work phone was rang off the moment he landed.

In the car taking Yuan Xiao to her residence, Liu Feng heard that Joao had received cooperation requests from seven companies.

This made Liu Feng finally start to seriously think about what Yuan Xiao told him that he was no longer an ordinary star, and this thought was further verified after Joao told him that all the people who just called were big companies with international reputation.

"Feng, I think before the winter break, you don't have any idea to deal with any advertisements and signing contracts, right?"

"Of course, Uncle Joao, I think playing football is more important."

"Okay, then I understand."

Returning to the car from the gate of Yuan Xiao's house, looking at Joao who was constantly recording with a notebook, Liu Feng was once again thankful that he could find such a responsible manager as Joao.

"Then, I will select suitable companies for you and send them to you before the winter break."

"can."

Nodded, since the main players Joao was in charge of were still in Brazil, the two parted ways again at the airport after a brief discussion on future development.

Liu Feng returned to Piacenza by train, and Joao flew back to Brazil to deal with other players.

When Liu Feng returned to Piacenza's home, it was already night, he simply tidied up and fell asleep directly, ending this busy day.

Starting tomorrow, the Piacenza team will continue training.

Although the team has passed the difficult stage of the double away game that week, the subsequent home game against Lazio in the ninth round of Serie A was not an easy matchup.

As a mid-range team in Serie A, the Blue Eagles have always existed as a spoiler in Serie A. This team may not be at the top in a long season, but it has always been very good at causing trouble for other teams.

After losing to Chievo in the last round of the league, Piacenza's ranking in Serie A has dropped out of the Champions League, which can be said to be a huge setback compared to their performance last season.

If this time sitting on the home field advantage and still not getting points, it may be a matter of whether the team can continue to keep the Champions League seat this season.

So, after the players reassembled at the training base, Conte didn't give them much chance to get excited.

From the first day of resuming training, Piacenza was asked by the coach to quickly enter the state of preparation, and the players directly started continuous high-intensity training.

After a day's rest, everyone was in good spirits, so they quickly adapted to the training rhythm.

After resuming training, Conte, who has been summed up game by game, also began to try to improve his various tactical arrangements in the tactical drill session.

For a while, both the state of the players and Conte's own ability as a head coach began to slowly improve.

The defensive tactics that have been brought up again, the offensive tactics that continue to be fine-tuned on the position, the shooting and grabbing ability of the strikers, the ball control and pass accuracy of the midfielders, the blocking and defense cooperation of the defenders, and even the reaction and saving gestures of the goalkeeper.

Although the daily changes are not obvious, everyone in the team can still feel a little improvement in themselves.

After defeating other league giants like Arsenal, the entire Piacenza team ushered in the second qualitative change of the team.

It is foreseeable that as long as this momentum can be maintained, the future of this young team will never be dark.

Soon, it was the day before the game started.

The Piacenza team, which sits at home and does not need to start early, did not gather in the conference room until the afternoon training was full on this day to listen to the squad reported by Conte.

"We still only need two forwards in this game, with Gilardino and Cassia as partners. Cassia, you need to be at the top." "Okay!"

"The midfield layout adopts 13 positions, with Raimondi as the single midfielder, Ganso as the midfielder, Ramirez and Aubameyang as the left and right fullbacks."

In the process of arranging the roster, Conte moved very quickly. He kept pasting the stamps representing the players on the tactical board, and did not give the players a chance to ask.

Obviously, he is going to tell the players about the tactical arrangement of the game after all the rosters have been reported.

"The four defenders from left to right are Vitale, Miranda, Astori and Wolfre, and Pugioni is the goalkeeper."

After putting the stamp of the last player on the tactical board, Conte turned and looked at the players: "You may have guessed that in this game, we will conduct a large-scale rotation."

If the team's various events are compared to other sports, then the league is a long-lasting marathon.

Those who can go to the end in this marathon are not those who rushed to the front at the beginning, nor did they stay behind until the end before starting to exert their strength.

The team that can truly defeat all opponents to the end can only be a team that has been stable step by step. Such a team's record must not fluctuate much, and the players can maintain a good state during the league schedule.

It's okay to only participate in the league. When a team starts to fight on multiple lines, rotation becomes an essential behavior.

Since the start of the game, Conte has not carried out a large-scale rotation in order to keep the main players in good condition because of the need to consider the team's just starting to play in the Champions League.

This also led to the fact that after the match against Arsenal, he received a warning from the team doctor in the team's medical room that many of the team's main players were already in a sub-healthy state after testing and had to rest.

As the coach, Conte is responsible for the health of the players, so he quickly communicated with the coaching staff the day before the roster was announced, and rearranged the lineup that still has combat effectiveness after removing part of the team's main players.

"Tomorrow's game will not be an easy game." Looking up, Conte glanced at the players: "However, a team ranked [-] shouldn't cause us too much trouble."

"We've just beaten Arsenal in London, so I'm sure you don't want to pour cold water on our fans for the first game back at home."

"I don't want to!"

"Very good, then give me a good rest when I go back tonight, no matter the starting players or the substitute players, when I see you tomorrow morning, I hope to see you refreshed!"

"clear!!!"

Loud in response, Piacenza's players were ready to go.
