Chapter 706 The Abandoned Game
The group stopped and stopped, and visited the capital of England. Of course, it was the major clubs in London that everyone paid attention to the most.

From north to south, from east to west, Arsenal, Tottenham, West Ham United, Chelsea, Fulham, etc., a small London city, the strong football atmosphere really gave Piacenza a lot of experience.

Along the way, although it was not a game day, football-related activities and venues could still be seen everywhere. Many fans gathered in the small park and happily kicked the ball. A small group of players scattered around was not conspicuous, so this day's play was still very enjoyable.

After visiting the trophy showrooms of several big clubs, the Piacenza team, which has not had a championship trophy in its own showroom until now, suddenly lost interest.

In the afternoon, the group got on the plane back to Italy. After returning to Piacenza via Milan, everyone dispersed.

From nothing to something is always a memorable and memorable moment. This season, except for the fact that Inter Milan, the current overlord of Serie A, is far ahead of the leader, Piacenza has no hope of winning the championship. Whether it is the Champions League or the Coppa Italia, at least they have not lost their qualifications to win the championship.

Although the first rounds of the two cup knockout rounds did not go well, at least there is hope.

Of course, this unsatisfactory situation still stimulated the players. Two 1-2, although there is an away goal, but they are at a disadvantage in terms of the number of goals. If the opponent draws, they will not be eligible to qualify.

This makes it impossible for the Piacenza players who have witnessed the trophy showrooms of several major clubs in London not to be anxious. After all, they have always been called by the fans as the peak generation of Piacenza. If the peak cannot win a trophy, what is the point?

Food needs to be eaten bite by bite. After the first round with Arsenal, Piacenza still has a league to play. In the eyes of the players, even if the goal is to keep the Champions League qualification, they must not slack off.

After all, the week after the end of the next round of the league, the second round of the Champions League will kick off, and then the second round of the Coppa Italia in Rome will also start immediately after another round of the league.

And the most interesting thing is that in the next round of the league, Piacenza's opponent is the Roma team that will play against them in the second round of the Coppa Italia semi-final on the 22nd of this month.

So the next day, when all the players regrouped at the training base, there was still plenty of energy.

"Very good, then the training begins!!!"

Conte is very satisfied with the mentality of the players. After everyone arrived, he didn't talk nonsense. The coaches of each special training found the corresponding players. As the coach, he kept walking through various training programs.

However, there are some things. Although you choose to ignore him mentally, he still exists. For example, after the whole rainy game against Arsenal, the physical condition of the starting players who appeared that day could not be restored to the peak in a short time.

As the coach, Conte also understands this. He mainly does recovery training for these players in the training arrangement before the next round of the league.

And because of the importance of the next game, he also made a trade-off. After the game against the Sailors, they, who are fourth in the league, have temporarily widened the gap with the teams behind them. Therefore, even in the next game against Rome, he gritted his teeth early and decided to rotate.

Training has no time. Five days after the war with Arsenal, when Piacenza's players came down from the training ground again, the familiar announcement of the roster came.

"Tomorrow our opponent at home is Roma, I think you all know it well."

Standing in front of the players, Conte clearly saw the fighting spirit in the eyes of the players, but it was a pity that he had to do something that hurt morale: "I also know that you feel like revenge on Rome as soon as possible, but after the game with them, we have more important things to do."

"..."

Hearing this, the team members sitting in the audience had already guessed what the coach was thinking, and the whole team quickly fell silent.

"That's right, in tomorrow's game, many people will sit on the bench and may not play for the whole game. I hope you can understand, because the game against Arsenal is the one we can't lose no matter what."

"Coach! We won't necessarily lose tomorrow's match!!!"

Just when Conte wanted to continue talking, Raimondi, who is a relatively tough substitute player in the team, spoke first: "Even if it is the second team, we will let those self-righteous "red wolves" take off their skin!"

"Very good! Hope so!"

Nodding approvingly to Raimondi, Conte didn't waste any more time: "As Raimondi said, we will be on the second team in this game. The lineup is 4231, and the main purpose of the tactics is defense."

With a point of Conte's finger, a complete lineup map appeared on the screen, and every player began to look for his name on it.

"From front to back, Cassia is the centre-forward, Wolff is the right-midfielder, Westley is the left-midfielder, Ramirez is the midfielder, and Miranda and Raimondi are partnered in the midfielder."

Pointing out the players one by one in one breath, Conte paused: "As for the entire defense line, Vitale is the left back, Scarpelli and Bini are partnered in the center back, Caporoso is the right back, and Pugioni is the goalkeeper!"

"receive!!!"

Speaking of this step, although they do not admit it verbally, everyone knows it very well.

Now Roma, which has taken off rapidly in Serie A and has caught up with Inter Milan in terms of scores and has no European games to play, will inevitably have all the main players in tomorrow's game. Piacenza's approach to the second team is to a certain extent giving up this game.

As for how the substitute players who got the chance are gearing up and vowing to defend the dignity of Piacenza Wolves at home, it is not within the scope of consideration of the strength comparison on paper.

The announcement of the starting lineup before the start of tomorrow's game is destined to arouse heated discussions among the media.

"Okay, give me a good rest when I get the chance to play, and those who sit on the bench may play at any time, so I have to be prepared. Now, everyone is disbanded!"

"Understand the boss!"
