Chapter 710 Victory without defeat
Although as Liu Jianhong said, in his opinion this is the most reasonable result of the game, but the score of 1-1 brought different results to the two teams.

In this game, except for Piacenza, which was second and fourth in the league, the top six teams in the league all won.

In this way, Piacenza, who scored one point, was opened by two points and recovered by two points by AC Milan in front of him and Sampdoria behind him. Fortunately, they still stabilized their fourth place in the league because they won the sailors in the game worth six points in the last round of the league.

Relatively speaking, the Roma team will be more uncomfortable. After the Nerazzurri won Bologna cleanly with a score of 3-0, the difference between the second and the first in the league expanded from two points to four points. The situation can no longer be reversed in one round of the league.

With only six rounds left in Serie A this season, this undoubtedly casts a cloud over the hopes of the Romans.

However, this is not something Piacenza needs to consider. Four days later, they will usher in the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals at home. What they need to do and prepare for a 1-2 away game is far from being as simple as it seems on paper.

This season, Arsenal, which has not collapsed and is almost in full condition, is like a sharp sword hanging over their heads, which can smash the relaxed state of mind of the players at any time.

In this state, the players agree with Conte's statement that there will be no holidays. Moreover, when many of the main core of the first team have not appeared in the league, what Piacenza needs is not a relaxing holiday.

"Come on and run! Al, shut your mouth, are you running back and forth to yourself!!!"

From the first day after the game, Conte did not give the players a chance to breathe. Except that yesterday's starting players enjoyed the treatment of being taken aside by the assistant coach for recovery training in the morning. By the afternoon, all Piacenza players began to march like dogs.

Round after round of bombing-style training, the team was reluctant to even talk after the day's training. After Conte took them to the conference room and briefly analyzed the characteristics of several key Gunners players, everyone went back to their respective homes and buried their heads in sleep.

On the second day, there was repeated high-intensity training. Due to the shame and anger of losing in the first round, the Piacenza team did not feel tired at all, and Conte on the sidelines was also very satisfied with the team's state.

After this kind of continuous training lasted for three days, that is, the day before Arsenal's upcoming arrival, Conte no longer stimulated the players to train like a whip.

After letting the players have a morning of restorative training with ease, he once again invited the reserve team and the first team for a friendly match in the afternoon.

Lucas, who led a group of small players, also carefully selected a group of players this time. He tried his best to select some players from the reserve team for the first team with a style similar to Arsenal players.

Indifferently, if the players are strong enough, they can still be selected. For example, the Chinese player Wu Lei whose style is not quite like Van Persie, Bendtner or even Arshavin.

Today's Wu Lei is the sweet potato in Lucas' eyes. He has expressed his gratitude to Francini who told him that Wu Lei left behind more than once.

Because with the continuous advancement of the reserve team league, this player, who is referred to as Wu by his teammates for short, has saved the team more than once on the court. Although the number of goals is not many, only eight goals, but each one is important, and it is also ranked among the top three in the reserve team.

Now the Piacenza reserve team has already broken out of its competition area and began to participate in the knockout round of the reserve team league championship.

Of course, these have little to do with the friendly match this afternoon. Facts have proved that the strength of the first team and the reserve team is still very obvious. Even because Conte is the top main force in the defense this time, Wu Lei is the only one who can pose a threat to Piacenza's goal in the reserve team.

This is only because his body is too small, which makes it difficult for defenders with an average height of 1.8 meters to keep an eye on him at all times. Scarpelli, who is constantly being led by him, shouted more than once that this little guy is harder to catch than Inzaghi.

If it weren't for Wu Lei's shooting ability to be strengthened when he was disturbed, maybe the first team would also concede a goal this afternoon?

In short, when the two-hour friendly match with constant substitutions came to an end, the score was fixed at 8-0. Liu Feng was replaced after scoring five goals in the first six and 10 minutes. Then Gilardino and Aubameyang also scored a goal. Finally, Gan Suo, who had been carefully passing the ball to his teammates, also received a long-range shot from a return pass and scored.

The members of the reserve team were taught a good lesson by their big brother. Wu Lei, who kept running out of opportunities but always failed to score, was even pulled out by Liu Feng during the break after the friendly match to teach shooting skills.

I have to say that for this compatriot player who has been growing after joining the club, Liu Feng can be said to be quite interesting, and when he taught Wu Lei to teach shooting skills, all his friends in the team around him came to cheer.

Wu Lei, who has already learned Italian, easily met a lot of main players of the first team through Liu Feng. It can be imagined that when he finally completed the transformation and was transferred from the reserve team to the first team, at least in terms of interpersonal relationships, it can be said to be seamless.

At five o'clock in the afternoon that day, when the flight from London entered Milan International Airport, the Piacenza players also gathered around Conte again.

When the Arsenal players were temporarily arranged to take over at the Milan Hotel because Piacenza did not have a five-star hotel, Conte slowly read out Piacenza's starting list for tomorrow.

"Afeng, Alberto, and Aubameyang are the three forwards. Paul serves as the attacking midfielder, Nocerino serves as the defensive midfielder, and Racha moves freely in the middle area between the two."

The tactical coordination that needs to be trained has been practiced in these four days. Everyone has some expectations about what kind of lineup Conte wants to form. After his coach formed a three-forward formation with a big wave of his hand, the drums in the players' hearts rang loudly.

"Vistry, Scarpelli, Astori, Wolff form the defense, with Tanio in goal."

Looking at the players who were sitting in front of them, Conte paused for a moment: "I know what you are thinking. All in all, tomorrow's game is already a battle of life and death. We can only win but not lose!"

"Understood! There is victory without defeat!!!"

　Chapter 2 here!This season should be the climax of the Piacenza team. During this period, the subscriptions began to drop slowly, which may be related to the procrastination of the knife staff. The follow-up will slowly start to speed up the pace. Finally, I will celebrate my first anniversary as a reading writer!
