Chapter 23
At the beginning of August 2007, Liu Feng, who celebrated his birthday, was officially included in the list of players for the Reserve League by the head coach.

Compared with the second division league that started at the end of August, the reserve league kicked off at the beginning of August.

The young talents of each team are all gearing up, hoping that they can have a good performance in the game, so as to impress the head coach of the first team and officially start to participate in the professional league.

The Italian Reserve League includes all the teams in Serie A and Serie B. These teams are divided into three regions. Every season, the top two in the three regions will start a knockout match, and the champion will be determined by fighting against each other.

Because of the principle of proximity, the region where Piacenza is located has strong teams such as the Milan duo and Parma.

This region can be said to be the most competitive region among the three regions, and the Piacenza reserve team has always been the bottom team in the past.

But this season, Francini has extraordinary ambitions.

At least until Liu Feng is transferred by the head coach of the first team, the Piacenza reserve team will no longer be a belly in the eyes of other teams this year.

If there are still people who regard the team as an object that can be manipulated at will, Francini doesn't mind giving them a good lesson with the nuclear weapons in his hands.

Soon, the first game of the reserve team came. Piacenza played against their old rival Vicenza at home, and Liu Feng was placed on the bench by Francini.

Francini is a very experienced youth training coach, and he is very cautious in using Liu Feng.

He was unwilling to expose Liu Feng to any unnecessary dangers before showing his talent to the world in order to win.

For a young player, it is actually a great blessing to have a head coach who cherishes himself so much.

Since the start of the game, Piacenza's defense has caused Vicenza a lot of trouble.

Scarpelli, who was tormented by Liu Feng for nearly two months after he came to the team, was outstanding in this game.

His defense and interception made Vicenza's forwards suffer, and he didn't look like a player who had just been promoted from the youth team.

"You're still a long way off!"

After once again breaking the ball at the striker's feet twisting in front of him, he passed a long pass to his teammates in the midfield. Now Scarpelli feels very good.

When he, who was repeatedly ravaged by Liu Feng, faced the opponent's striker, he just wanted to laugh.

The various feints of these players were far worse than Liu Feng's.

If you compare the Liu Feng you are facing to an adult, then the striker in front of you now is like a child who has just graduated from elementary school.

Sure enough, Feng Duoduo still wants to ravage me!

Liu Feng, who was concentrating on watching the game on the bench, suddenly felt chills all over his body. He wrapped himself in the coat and looked puzzled.

Both Cassia and Nainggolan started this game. These two players who have already played in the second division seem to be able to face this reserve level league with ease.

Because of Scarpelli's outstanding performance in defense, Nainggolan began to frequently appear in Vicenza's midfield to participate in the attack.

He constantly participated in the fight in the midfield, making Vicenza's midfield a mess.

Because Vicenza has no players who can compete with Nainggolan, this also leads to 80.00% of all the balls coming to the midfield will be obtained by Piacenza.

And more ball possessions also means more offensive opportunities.

The initial formation arranged by Francini for this game is 4231.

Cassia, as the top 1 in the front, kept stirring in Vicenza's back line. He attracted a lot of firepower and gave the two teammates on the wing a great depth.

After Nainggolan got the ball in the midfield, the team's two full-backs would step in, and then he kicked to split the side, and the teammate who got the ball made a pass from the bottom. This is a tactic that the team practiced a lot with Cassia.

For a striker with an absolute high-altitude advantage, such an attack is simple and effective.

Cassia, who stood like a tower in the penalty area of ​​Vicenza, quickly scored.

Facing the high-altitude ball from his teammate's side pass, he threw off two defensive players who were almost hanging on him, leaped high, and directly hit the ball past the goalkeeper's five fingers with a header.

"Pretty!"

After the goal, the players on the field gathered together to celebrate. The game only started 10 minutes ago. This goal greatly boosted the morale of the team.

Looking at Cassia, who was surrounded by his teammates in high spirits after scoring a goal, Liu Feng squinted and smiled, as if he hadn't experienced that feeling for a long time.

Vicenza's head coach quickly made adjustments after discovering the problems in the team.

There are six substitutions in the reserve league, and the competition is mainly about training, so the first thing the head coach has to do when he finds a problem is to solve the problem, without having to consider any other factors.

Replace a fast midfielder who was bullied by Cassia because of his poor physique.

Vicenza's coach replaced a 1.8-meter-five midfielder. Although this midfielder is still shorter than Cassia, it is enough to interfere with Cassia's ball and offense.

After being disturbed by the newly replaced players with various small actions, the angry Cassia misfired.

Having lost the bridgehead at the top, Piacenza's offense also began to have problems.

After trying a few more crosses from the side, Nainggolan began to choose the center.

He kept making choices to try long-range shots under Cassia's ball return, but his accuracy was not very good after he had just started to strengthen long-range shot training.

Immediately afterwards, in an attack in Vicenza, the young Scarpelli also made a mistake. The Vicenza striker seized the opportunity and scored a one-handed goal, which equalized the score.

The 1:1 score lasted until halftime.

Players who did not go to the locker room gathered around the head coach, and Francini kept patting the frustrated Scarpelli on the shoulder to comfort him.

As a defensive player, making mistakes is really normal. There is nothing to care about, as long as you can continue to learn from experience and improve.

"Feng, go warm up, I may need you in the second half."

After rearranging the tactics for the second half to the players on the field, Francini called Liu Feng, who was sitting on the bench, to warm up.

Starting from the bench, he will show Piacenza's nuclear weapons to other teams little by little.

After the start of the second half, under the arrangement of Francini, Piacenza changed to 442.

One of the two wingers recovered and became a midfielder, and the other became Cassia's wingman, helping Cassia attract defense.

Vicenza coach Pia also made an adjustment at half-time, bringing in a striker who had also been promoted to the first team but opted to remain in form in the reserves.

The more experienced striker caused Piacenza's defense to have frequent crises after the opening.If it weren't for Nainggolan's desperate defense, Piacenza might have fallen behind.

Frowning at the form on the court, Francini looked at his watch. There were 25 minutes left in the game.

Nodding his head, Francini thought it was almost time and turned to look at Liu Feng who had already warmed up twice.

"Feng, I'll give you 25 minutes. Don't put too much pressure on it. A draw is not something unacceptable."

"Okay, head coach!"

Another dead ball, the assistant referee raised the substitution board, and Piacenza's No. 22 Liu Feng came on as a substitute.

After high-fiving his teammates, Liu Feng excitedly ran to his position, jumped up and twisted his neck.

Is it a tie?I want to win!
