Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 58 Evening
According to Serie B rules and rankings, the respective opponents have been determined. Three days after the final round, the first round will be played on June 6, the second round will be played on June 14, and the first round of the final will be played on June 6. Back, the second round of the final will be played on June 18th. This season has really dragged on for a long time. One is because last year was the World Cup year, which affected the entire season schedule. Serie B does not have many national football teams, but Juventus has many national football teams Ah, this has to be considered, and the second is that there are play-offs to be played this season, so the time will naturally drag on for a long time.

Before the away game against Piacenza, Akori mainly practiced defense, because the first one is an away game, he must be able to defend first, although Piacenza will not ignore the strong attack, but the main theme is definitely Still have to attack, the time to really test Rimini's defense has arrived.

On the afternoon of June 6, the club arranged for the whole team to go north, mainly considering that the game is very critical, and the players must first ensure that they have a good rest in order to perform at a normal level.

After arriving in Piacenza, the team rested for a while and had dinner. Akori called everyone to watch the video. The video is a collection of Piacenza's offensive routines. In fact, I watched this during the previous preparations. Now It's just for everyone to review it again, so that they can have more memories in their minds, so that they can make correct choices earlier when encountering situations.

The next morning, the club borrowed the training ground of a small local football club for recovery training. The time was not very long. They returned to the hotel at noon and had lunch, and the players took a rest.Arriving at the Leonardo Galilee Stadium in Piacenza half an hour earlier in the afternoon, Arcori first warmed up the players, and then made pre-war tactical arrangements in the visiting team locker room.

The Piacenza team is a very interesting team. Many people know that the La Liga team Athletic Bilbao only recruits players with Basque ancestry, and Piacenza is the same as them, except that they are No foreign aid is accepted, even from other European countries. The team only has local players. This traditional practice was not broken until the 01-02 season. They ushered in their first foreign aid Matuzaren, but Matuza Lun only played one season at Piacenza before moving on.They have trained many well-known players, such as Signori, Inzaghi brothers, etc. They also have a famous fan, Giorgio Armani is their die-hard fan, it is said that Giorgio Armani helped them design jerseys, it is said that Giorgio . Armani will be present in almost every home game.

Obviously their history is much more glorious than that of Rimini, but now is not the time to compete in history, now is the time to desperately.

More than 2 seats were filled with spectators. Rimini fans naturally came to the away game to cheer for the team, but compared to the fans in Piacenza, the voices must be very weak. The player tunnel has already heard the deafening singing outside, and the fans of the home team sang the team anthem of Piacenza.

Zhang Yuan and the others naturally received "warm hospitality" from the fans of the home team as soon as they played, but these did not affect Zhang Yuan. With his phenomenal performance in Serie B and the growth of his reputation, the away fans naturally booed him the most. I got used to it, and being scolded shows that I still give the enemy a headache.As for whether his teammates are nervous or not, he doesn't know, at least they can't see nervousness from everyone's face.

The flags were exchanged, sides were guessed, and the game started soon. Piacenza and Rimini were both in a 442 formation. After the opening, they actively began to put pressure on Rimini, but at the same time their three lines were very closely integrated. The two midfielders, Nocerino and Patrascu, are both defensive midfielders. Their organizational skills are not strong, but their midfield sweeping ability is not bad. It just so happens that the midfielder that Rimini sent to the field today also has outstanding defensive capabilities. players, Borgia and Cristiano.

The midfield configuration of the two sides is destined to be difficult to make a fuss in the middle. However, the head coaches of the two teams did not focus on the wing but in the middle after the opening. , The referee may have seen that both sides moved a bit too much. As a result, before 10 minutes, the two teams each received a yellow card, Piacenza was Patrascu, and Rimini was Cristiano.

Piacenza coach Racchini first made a change. He adjusted the focus of attack to the wing, trying to create opportunities through crosses. One of their starting strikers, Cassia, is not particularly tall, but he is a speedy player. Players who are fast and have strong header ability can compete for the top in the penalty area, make the first fulcrum or head the goal.

The effect of his change is obvious. Rimini was caught off guard. In the 25th minute, Piacenza's left midfielder Lanzari avoided Vitiello's cross. Forward Lucas Simon got rid of Regonesi's defensive header and headed the ball into Rimini's goal. Simon was too close to the goal and Handanovic had no time to react.

Piacenza, who played at home, took the lead, and the audience cheered. Akori just waved his hand on the sidelines, and then applauded his players to signal everyone to pay attention. Although he was one goal behind, it did not It's not the end, there is still more time, and my overreaction may affect the mood of the players.

After taking the lead, Piacenza still adopts wing tactics, but this time Rimini will no longer be so prone to loopholes, and the game once again fell into a stalemate.

Zhang Yuan retreated deeply at the forward position, but the opponent's defense line was indeed closely integrated with the midfield line. Nocerino was responsible for defending him closely, but Nocerino alone could not defend Zhang Yuan at all. Zhang Yuan's ability to get rid of it in place is much stronger than before, mainly because his body strength has increased, and he can still fight against Nocerino.Seeing that Nocerino was in a tight situation, Patrascu had no choice but to come over to assist Nocerino in his defense. With the back line and pulling, he successfully restricted Zhang Yuan's performance.Another important reason for Zhang Yuan's inability to perform is that Rimini's pressure on Piacenza's defense is really not enough. Akori insists on defense first, which leads to two players on the wings and midfield. Too high, even when Rimini is in possession of the ball, the pressure is not firm, resulting in insufficient assistance to Zhang Yuan in the midfield. Akori completely let Zhang Yuan and Jedah face the opponent's entire defensive system .Zhang Yuan is not a god. Every time he can have a stunning performance in the meeting alone, let alone Jada.

The first half ended like this. Piacenza's wing tactics were restricted by Rimini's adjusted tactics, and Rimini basically put defense first, and the offensive pressure was not enough. As a result, Piacenza did not Can expand the score, and Rimini also failed to equalize the score.

Akori is not a fool, of course he could see the team's offensive dilemma, so he was thinking about how to change this situation at the end of the first half. Defense is of course important. It is very uncomfortable to lose a goal in an away game, but after all, this is an away game. The next game is at home, so there may not be a chance to recover from the disadvantage.But defending like the first half is not the answer. If the opponent continues to take the offensive in the second half, they may not be able to score another goal after a long attack. They are behind by two goals. You can pull it back, let alone take it down.Replacing a defensive midfielder?He and Martini murmured on the coaching bench for a long time, and finally decided to take a gamble to replace a defensive midfielder. Who to replace is another problem, but this problem did not take him a long time. He decided to replace Cristiano and replace him with Baruso. He believed that Bolkiah was originally a central defender, and he had a stronger tacit understanding and integration with the rear line. The opponent wanted to score goals, and the center of the penalty area was the key point.Baruso is definitely not as good as Cristiano in defense, but his organizational ability is worse than Cristiano's. Replacing him can give Zhang Yuan and Jeda more support in the frontcourt, and prevent Zhang Yuan and Jeda from falling into the trap of fighting alone. situation.

So at the beginning of the second half, Rimini took the lead in making substitution adjustments. Baruso replaced Cristiano, while Piacenza did not make adjustments for the time being. After replacing Baruso, Rimini's offense really looked like After looking a little better, the conduction in the midfield was much smoother, and the defensive pressure on Zhang Yuan was also reduced a lot.

Seeing that something was wrong with the situation, Lakini made a decision to temporarily shrink the defense and retracted both wings.

Seeing this change, Akori signaled to the players on the Rimini field that they could press a little higher to put more pressure on the opponent's defense.

With the pressure of the two sides, the cooperation between Zhang Yuan and the midfielder increased. In addition, the flexible movement of him and Jada made Rimini's offense completely alive.

In the 63rd minute, the short-pass cooperation between Baruso in the center, Ricciuti in the wing, and Zhang Yuan, the forward, successfully tore apart Piacenza's defense on the right. Ricciuti was about 10 meters away from the baseline I chose a cross pass. The ball was not passed to the penalty area, but was passed back to Zhang Yuan who was running towards the front of the penalty area. After receiving the ball, Zhang Yuan faked a shot and made a real dunk. He dunked over Olivier who blocked it, and then passed it diagonally to the penalty area. Jada on the left, Jada did not stop the ball, but directly pushed the ball to the center with the arch of his foot. Zhang Yuan followed up and rushed to the far corner of the goal before the opponent's defender Campaniaro made a tackle. The opponent's goalkeeper hit The ball failed to change direction and went into the net, and Rimini took advantage of the opportunity to level the score.

Racchini was furious on the sidelines, his own defensive system was so easily penetrated, what about Nocerino who defended Zhang Yuan?What about defensive midfielder Patrascu?

It's no wonder that Piacenza's two defensive midfielders started first, and Rimini's pressure increased, and their defensive pressure increased sharply. Nocerino was freed from the triangle back pass, and Zhang Yuan never caught up with him. Zhang Yuan ran fast and nimbly. Rimini's attack was done in one go without any pause. It was difficult for him to chase, but what was Patrascu doing?While leaning towards the middle, he also helped to keep an eye on Jada and Moscaldelli on the right.
