Chapter 699
In fact, after the team's season has reached the final stage, Piacenza's tactical arrangements have gradually matured. Against a team like Arsenal, it is impossible for Conte to suddenly come up with new ideas in terms of tactics and formation arrangements.

After all, the development of any team's style and tactics requires a lot of game time to hone.

"Our formation for this game is 4123, and I ask you to keep your positions compact."

The battle is imminent, this time Conte did not just announce the roster sloppily, but analyzed the specific position of each position with the players very seriously.

"Racha will serve as the defensive midfielder in this game, and Paulo and Nocerino will serve as the two midfielders in front of him. This game will not have an absolute midfielder. The positions of the three of you also need to be alternately filled."

"Understand the coach!"

"Then, in the striker combination before the midfield, Afeng and Aubameyang will serve as the left and right wingers, and Cassia will serve as the center forward."

Gilardino, who has always occupied the main position of the team's center forward, unexpectedly lost the starting lineup. Judging from Conte's serious eyes, it is obvious that this is not a sudden decision. Based on the performance and status of the players in the past ten days, he and the coaching staff confirmed the replacement.

As a player who has seen countless big scenes a long time ago, Gilardino did not lose his composure at the moment, but patted Cassia who was sitting next to him congratulatorily.

In front of everyone, Conte's arrangements did not stop. After the players in the center and front field were arranged, he set his sights on the defense players: "This time, the defense line from left to right is Vitale, Scarpelli, Astori and Wolfre. Westeri is on standby on the bench."

The team's iron-clad left back, Westley, was not selected for the starting lineup this time, but everyone can understand this. Long before the end of the game against the Sailors, Westley had signs of cramping due to physical exhaustion. Just three days did not allow him to fully recover.

As for the team's goalkeeper, in a heavy game like the Champions League, Conte chose Maurantanio almost without hesitation. Having this old player in the backcourt is definitely like a pinnacle for the team's young defense.

"Our opponents will definitely try their best to threaten the goal at home. I don't ask you not to concede the ball, but on the basis of shrinking the formation, I hope you can reduce the mistakes to the extreme."

The entire roster was announced soon, and Conte focused on the starting players.

"This will never be an easy game. I hope everyone can pay attention to it. Every step you take is creating the history of Piacenza."

"Know the boss!"

"Very good, we are disbanding now, and all the team members will gather here on time tomorrow!"

"Roar!"

The game will be played tomorrow night, when Piacenza will meet Arsenal again at the Emirates Stadium, no one can predict what kind of sparks this pair of opponents who have played against each other twice in the group stage will have.

……

The next day, when a group of players arrived at Milan International Airport on the bus prepared by the team, the small flight chartered by the club had already been waiting for a long time. Saying goodbye to the fans who spontaneously gathered outside the airport to see the team off, the Piacenza team embarked on an expedition again.

From Milan to London, for Liu Feng, who grew up in China until his parents went to Brazil to develop, it is not a particularly long distance. In a rough analogy, it is only the distance from Wancheng to BJ.

However, when the plane landed, the obvious gap between countries still made him realize the different customs.

Different from the season when I came to London last time, it was spring in England at this time. When the team members arrived, it was sunny at noon, which was completely different from the cloudy day when they arrived last time.

But soon, everyone understood why some British jokes like to use the local weather to describe a woman's face.

In the afternoon, when Conte led the Piacenza players who had lunch at the hotel and went to the training ground provided by Arsenal to step on the field, as a dark cloud came, the rain fell uncontrollably.

"Shit! The weather!"

This time, Conte scolded his mother directly angrily. Just after the players had finished eating, he asked the players to rest for a while on the grounds that the sun was a bit poisonous. He did not expect to encounter such a thing when he went out.

What made him even more annoyed was that, compared to the Piacenza team, which rarely played in the rain due to the good weather in Piacenza, the owner here, Arsenal, is definitely no stranger to fighting in the rain, which is likely to cast a shadow on this game from the very beginning.

"Hurry up and warm up, let's finish and go back earlier!"

At this point, there is no other better way. Conte can only bite the bullet and urge the players to warm up quickly, and then plans to take the players back to stay early to avoid catching them cold before the game.

While Piacenza was training and waiting for the weather to improve soon, God seemed to have the intention to fight against them. The rain became heavier and heavier until the ball became too wet to roll smoothly.

When everyone got into the house to wash under the urging of the coach, no one stopped swearing.

Compared with the current situation in Piacenza, Arsenal is obviously much better. Although they are a little dissatisfied with the rainy weather, under the leadership of Wenger, the Gunners still completed the full warm-up process.

If the rain is a heavy blow for Piacenza, then it may be just a light punch for Arsenal. For a while, the Arsenal players, who were full of revenge and fighting spirit, were more confident in winning this game.

In this context, the start of the game is getting closer and closer.

As CCTV's on-site commentary team moved to the commentary booth with the best view of the entire stadium under the arrangement of the Emirates Stadium staff, Liu Jianhong's voice and live signals appeared on countless bright screens across the country in the early morning.

"Fuck, why is it raining, it's quite heavy~"

"Here, motherfucker, have Afeng and Piacenza played in the rain?"

"Reply upstairs, it seems there are, but I can't remember, anyway, it's just one or two games."

"Didn't the Gunners only play one or two games, why did they play..."

……

Before Liu Jianhong could speak, the fans had already exploded. This was such an obvious unfavorable factor that everyone was aware of the problem. The fans and commentators who followed the game for a while changed their predictions on the outcome of the game.

And the rain still kept falling.
