Chapter 236
For a team like Piacenza, the meaning of their rotation is completely different from that of those wealthy clubs. One is to survive, and the other is to strive for more championships.

When the strength of the team's substitute players is too different from the main force, Piacenza must endure the consequences of the team's decline in strength.

However, this is better than being full of injuries in the second half of the league. Countless clubs who are overconfident in themselves have used blood lessons to prove the consequences of not performing rotations and going all the way to the black.

When a team in the second half of the league is unable to make up a complete main lineup due to the continuous injuries of the main players, it is inevitable to fall behind.

Of course, to rotate, one must accept the consequences. When Liu Feng, Aubameyang and Nainggolan did not appear in Piacenza's squad before the game, no one was optimistic about Piacenza.

The absence of a key player may not be a problem, but when a sharp edge like Liu Feng and a strong midfielder like Nainggolan are not on the field at the same time, Piacenza's intensity on the field can be imagined.

On October 10, Piacenza challenged Reggina in an away game. This game finally ended Piacenza's magical unbeaten record.

Reggina, who has been in various places in Serie A for a long time, has continuously seized the opportunities that appeared in the game at his home court.

At the beginning of the game, Regina's attitude towards Piacenza can be called cautious. No matter the marking of Cassia and Flocari's striker partner in this game, or the marking of Padalino, who is the midfielder, can be called close.

The result of this is that Piacenza's offense quickly had problems. When Cassia and Flocari did not have a hot spot like Liu Feng by their side, both running positions and scoring were greatly restricted.

Although Padalino has excellent skills at his feet, he can't stand up to the two black and hard players that Regina placed in the midfield. He was naturally incapable of organizing offense after being knocked out by the opponent's successive body collisions.

If Marchisio was not signaled by Conte to help Padalino, Piacenza's midfielder could be said to have been completely captured by Regina.

After discovering that his opponent was no longer the magic and threat of the previous game, Regina's coach gave the order for the whole army to attack.

This Serie A-level game is known for its changeable lineup. Originally, the team's 442 was preparing to play a balanced formation with Piacenza, but under the adjustment of coach Novellino, it directly changed to 433.

With the forward position of Reginald's left midfielder Biagio Pagano, Reggina's striker has changed from a double striker with Jolson and Bonazzoli to a three striker.

In Piacenza's backcourt, Conte did not make extensive adjustments, so although Reginald's offense became increasingly fierce, the team still defended steadily.

However, no matter how secure the defensive line is, it can't withstand the paralysis of offensive teammates. In such a fierce game, if you don't score goals quickly, something bad will happen in the end.

When Cassia and Flocari were unable to start the situation in the front, Regina's possession rate began to increase. By the second half of the first half, Piacenza had been completely suppressed.

There are many tactics to win by surprise on the field, but often there must be loopholes in surprise. If you can catch it, you may not be able to turn the game around. But when your opponent directly uses the strength of the majestic to crush you, then there is really no good way.

Conte looked at the situation on the field with a headache. In fact, the performance of these players is not bad, but there are only one or two outstanding points. In other words, they guarantee the existence of the team's lower limit, not the upper limit.

Now, the situation is obvious, it is really difficult for the team to take advantage of the opponent just by using the lower limit.

In the 40th minute of the game, Regina, who had already taken full advantage of the situation, seized the opportunity. The team forward Jolson got rid of Marchisio's defense after receiving a long pass from his midfielder.

When he came to the right side of the penalty area, after attracting the attention of all the defensive players, he directly hit the ball horizontally, and the ball was kicked by Bonazzoli who inserted at high speed in the middle.

"Boom!"

There was a huge muffled sound, and the power of a shot that directly relied on the huge inertia to draw the ball like this without stopping the ball was often extremely powerful, which meant that the ball would be quite fast.

Maurantanio was helpless when the ball blew past his ear like a hurricane, so he had no choice but to pick up the ball depressedly after it hit the net and fell.

1: 0!
As the scoreboard changed, Regina officially took the lead at home.

During the intermission, Conte kept raising the problems of the players on the field, and then made small changes to the lineup again, such as strengthening the layout of the midfield and assigning the responsibilities of Flocari and Cassia in detail.

These cannot be said to have no impact on the game, after all, Piacenza obviously played more organized and targeted after the start of the second half.

I have to say that the young players of Piacenza are really amazing in football. They have a very deep understanding of the head coach's tactics and fully integrated Conte's adjustments in the second half into the game.

Slowly, they re-established a balance of power with Regina in the second half.

However, if you want to win, just the balance of power is definitely not enough. When Piacenza is behind by one goal, he must do more on the court and pursue more.

The greater the risk, the greater the return. This is an iron law, and vice versa.

In order to equalize the score or even overtake the score, Piacenza will inevitably need to invest more troops in offense, which is undoubtedly risky in the case of parity with Regina.

During an attack with the ball, Piacenza pressed half of the team with the mentality of equalizing. The ball passed the feet of Marchisio and Padalino and then reached the feet of the forward teammates in front of the penalty area.

Flocari took the ball first, relying on small skills to move around surrounded by several players, he finally picked the ball to Cassia who was waiting for an opportunity.

However, Cassia, who has not scored a goal with his feet for a long time, was obviously a little abnormal in this shot. He used the strength of kicking the world wave in the supplementary shot into the penalty area. There is undoubtedly only one result, masturbation.

When the ball flew into the sky in the desperate eyes of the Piacenza players and fans, Conte on the sidelines almost pulled his scalp off. Such a good opportunity is rare!

Cassia's shot also established the state of Piacenza's next game.

The team was able to send the ball to the threat area in attack after attack, but the striker's grasp of opportunities in this game was really poor.

Dark clouds are hanging over everyone in Piacenza.
