Chapter 601 The Optimistic Visiting Team Members
Liu Feng, Gilardino and Aubameyang's striker combination, Nainggolan, Ganso and Nocerino's three midfield arrangement, Conte selected the team's best and most powerful players.

On the defense line, the combination of Westeri, Miranda, Scarpelli and Wolfer is also the most played defense line in Piacenza's defense line.

Only the goalkeeper position, Maurantanio sat on the bench, Conte officially confirmed the team's cup goalkeeper Pugioni.

This kind of lineup can be said to be strong no matter what kind of game it is lined up in. Piacenza, who sits at home, has expressed full respect for their opponents.

I wonder what Novara's players and coaches will look like when they see Piacenza's lineup for the Champions League.

That night, under the urging of Conte, the players all returned home quickly. Needless to say, the starting players fell asleep early to recharge their spirits, and the substitute players were also ready to go on stage one by one.

Early the next morning, the Piacenza team continued to gather at the training base. Under the leadership of Conte, they began to do the last training for the game that came in the afternoon.

Time ticked by and when Novara's bus pulled into the city of Piacenza to the boos of the Piacenza fans, it was just three hours before the start of the game.

Small clubs are not as particular as big clubs. Since the distance between Novara and Piacenza is not far, the Novara club directly arranged for the players to train at their own stadium for another morning before letting them board the expedition bus in order to save trouble.

But what is surprising is that when these players arrived at the away dressing room at Leonardo Stadium, the smiles on their faces were extremely bright.

As a Serie C team, it has been able to get to where it is in the cruel single-round elimination system step by step. It is not enough to just want to meet weak teams every day.

Only by defeating teams of the same level, a higher level, or even the top, will this group of players in the third tier of Italian football be truly exposed to the public.

Great exposure means more attention, and more attention means more income and the chance to be picked up by a higher-level team.

Novara players are very satisfied with the number of nearly 3 fans at the scene. Although they are not at their home stadium, they must know that in their usual games, only two to 3000 people come to watch the game.

You must know that the number of spectators means the sale of one ticket. According to the principle of equal distribution of tickets for single-round elimination, Novara can get four or five home game ticket revenues for just one game against Piacenza.

On the basis of the cup bonus promised by the club, this group of players can also get a good income, which is naturally a happy one.

On the other hand, Novara's opponent in the draw is Piacenza, which has a Super Maple team that has been unfavorable in Serie A in recent years. It doesn't take much thinking to know that there will be countless scouts watching the game.

Even if it is just to let his name appear in the corner of the scouts' inspection list, it is very good for these players who play in the third division.

In the pyramid system of the league, the group of people at the top of the tower will always get the most income in this industry.

Everyone in this group of players who are still in the third level has an upward dream, which is bound to urge them to do their best to play this game well.

After all, if they can really win against Piacenza, the benefits the team will gain will be countless.

In this way, the enthusiasm of the Novara players during the warm-up can be said to be unprecedented. Amid the huge boos of the home fans, these optimistic players even gave people a feeling that the bigger the booing, the higher the warm-up.

In the end, the Piacenza fans who felt bored also directly gave up the way of using pressure to attack the opponent's psychology.

After the warm-up of the visiting team, the Piacenza team led by Conte also came to the court to warm up. This time, the Piacenza fans present gave Novara's players a good experience of what it means to be a crowd.

"Piacenza! Piacenza! Piacenza!"

Before the game started, the atmosphere in the stadium had already skyrocketed.

"CCTV, CCTV, hello viewers and friends, welcome to the 2009-2010 Coppa Italia quarter-final match between Piacenza and Novara at home. I am the commentator Liu Jianhong."

Since last season, CCTV has never missed a game in Piacenza, and this time is no exception. The picture of this cup game appeared on the screen with only 10 minutes left in the game.

On the Leonardo Stadium, the staff was cleaning the field for the last time, and the fans with a huge gap in the number of the two teams were already looking forward to it.

Finally, as the referee team who whistled the game came out of the player tunnel, the protagonists of the game, the players of the two teams, also stepped onto the court one by one.

In terms of momentum, there is an obvious gap between the two teams. Although the morale of the two teams seems to be very good, everyone can clearly feel the strong confidence of the Piacenza players through the lens.

The players of Novara obviously also felt this gap, but judging from their unyielding performance when they walked out of the player tunnel side by side with the Piacenza team, this small team definitely has no intention of surrendering without a fight.

Then, let's fight.

It seemed to be just a moment from the captain's boxing game to the two teams standing on the court. When Liu Feng and Gilardino, who had chosen the right to kick-off for the team, stood face to face before and after the kick-off point, the referee quickly blew the whistle to start the game.

"Shh!!!"

"Okay, the game has officially started. Afeng pushed the ball to Gilardino. Gilardino passed it back to Ganso. The ball began to rotate among the three midfielders."

At the beginning of the game, everyone's attention came to the ball. The Piacenza team did not show great aggressiveness at the beginning. Under Conte's arrangement, they seemed to be more inclined to find out the opponent's offensive and defensive routines first.

As for the performance of the Novara team, it was very straightforward. From the very beginning, the Novara players wanted to play their own style in this game. After Piacenza chose half-court possession, they swarmed up. They also ranked 433 and began to frantically harass the three Ganso who were in possession of the ball.

"Oh~, Facing the opponent's press, Piacenza's kick is still very smooth."

Liu Jianhong, who was paying attention to the situation on the court, watched the confrontation between the players of the two teams with great interest. Obviously, there is still a big gap between the players of the Novara team and the players of Piacenza in terms of hard power.

　Chapter 1 here!The visible incentives of Italian football really have a lot to learn from. The pyramid system alone is worth learning from the domestic thong-shaped system. There has never been a reason why there are more top teams than low-level teams. Just look at how many teams in the second division are disbanded.
