Chapter 719 Countdown to the League

The heat of the news always fades slowly, and this time is no surprise. After the storm created by Super Maple swept the whole world, people slowly calmed down.

The days are still long, there are still games, and there are still many things to look forward to in the future, such as Piacenza's opponents in the Champions League semi-finals.

After the quarter-finals of the Champions League came to an end, a total of four teams had the opportunity to enter the finals. They were La Liga hegemony Barcelona, ​​Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, Serie A giants Inter Milan, and the ultimate dark horse Piacenza.

The draw time is set for a week later. At that time, besides the World Cup, this football event, which can be regarded as the most eye-catching football event in the world every year, will usher in their semi-final draw ceremony.

After winning this round of duel again, the last two remaining teams will go to the final together to decide the European champion of this season.

In Piacenza City, the team's victory celebration took a lot longer than other places, and when it finally came to an end, as the team's next league game was approaching, everyone's attention shifted.

After all, it is still the same sentence, Piacenza has not yet secured its Champions League seat for next season. Although there are only six countdowns left in the league, it is by no means to be taken lightly.

After the game against Arsenal, Piacenza continued to usher in their league game four days later. This time, they will go to an away game to challenge Siena, which is now in a critical period of relegation.

Siena, ranked No.18 in the league, is now four points behind Bologna, which is seventeenth in the league. With six rounds left in the league, they have to fight for every point, so that they can catch the last straw of relegation when their opponents make mistakes.

Therefore, no matter how famous Piacenza swept Arsenal 4-1, the Siena team did not have any fear in the process of training and preparing for the game.

Compared with them, the Piacenza team, which had a day off after the game and then had a day of recovery training, was a bit too relaxed.

On the day of the match, Piacenza's bus drove out of the city under the welcome of its own fans. The players sitting in the car were still talking and laughing, obviously they hadn't come out of that epic victory.

Conte, who was sitting in the front row, couldn't help sighing. You must know that during the four days of training, he has reminded the players more than once to pay attention to their mentality, and they should not be too relaxed in any game.

Alas, it is clear that his exhortations have had little effect.

In this away game, Conte still carried out a rotation. Liu Feng, who played the most in the game against the Gunners, was placed on the bench by him from the beginning, and then according to the training status of the past few days, he took Ganso and Gilardino off to rest.

Finally, on the afternoon before the departure, the lineup of Piacenza 442 for this game was freshly released in front of the team members.

Cassia and Aubameyang form the team's striker. Nocerino and Nainggolan stand in parallel in the midfield, but one is the main attacker and the other is the main defender. The team's two wide midfielders are respectively served by Ramirez and Wolff.

As for the team's defense, from left to right they are Westerli, Miranda, Astori and Caporoso. Yes, Scarpelli was also placed on the bench this time due to his state problems during training.

Tanio, who has the same treatment as him, gave up the opportunity to play again in the non-cup game this time to Pughioni.

This lineup is not considered weak. After all, no matter whether Cassia on the front line or the midfielder, they have created goals for Piacenza this season.

Therefore, in the pre-match reports, the major media are still overwhelmingly optimistic about Piacenza, but they seem to have a tacit understanding and generally did not report on Siena's relegation crisis.

Facts have proved that it is not unreasonable for the relegation team at the end of the league to be recognized as the most difficult team to deal with.

When the game kicked off at 21:[-] BJ time, the unknown Sienna generals left a deep impression on all the audience.

"The goal has been scored! In the 30th minute of the game, the Siena team won the opportunity under their tireless pressing. Nainggolan's return pass rarely made a mistake!"

The Adameo Franchi Stadium, which can accommodate more than 5000 fans, was packed tonight. Fans gathered in front of the TV could clearly see the Piacenza Expeditionary Army sitting in a small corner of the stadium, and those Siena fans who remained loyal to the team even in the relegation stage were cheering heartily.

"Siena! Siena! Siena!"

When Liu Jianhong announced the birth of the goal, Siena striker Reginaldo, who opened the scoring for the team after receiving a through pass from his teammate who cut off the ball in midfield, was happily running towards his own half.

This is the second league goal scored by the striker this season. The striker, who has been out of balls for more than two months, is extremely excited at the moment. What's more interesting is that the player's last league goal was scored against Piacenza in the first half of the season.

At this time, Reginaldo's teammates also greeted him with a smile. Obviously, the team was immersed in great joy.

On the side of Piacenza, Conte has already started yelling on the sidelines. If we can’t get angry for no reason because of the team’s big victory and the fact that the players did not steal and play tricks during training, then this is the best time to beat the players.

The bloody Astori and Nainggolan who were scolded lowered their heads under Conte's angry gaze. Judging from their secretly clenched fists, at least in their hearts, they were no longer willing to let their opponents kick their noses.

After the game restarted, Piacenza's response was also quite good. As they controlled the ball and pulled apart in their own half, Nainggolan, who had just caused the team to lose the ball due to a mistake, became the team's offensive starting point this time.

"Driving fast with the ball, Nainggolan was like a tank. Poor Ziolis was not able to block him, but was hit hard enough."

On the basis of consciously strengthening his own confrontation ability training, Nainggolan has now reached a very high level in terms of playing style and body. It is not surprising that the thin opponent's midfielder was carried by him.

Afterwards, he was not idle either. After a two-for-one cooperation with Aubameyang, who took the initiative to withdraw to respond, Nainggolan got the ball again in the right area outside the penalty area.

"Smash the ball away from the angle, a very light pick pass!"

If the weight is lifted lightly, it is about Nainggolan's pass this time. In the situation where the Siena defenders paused, only Cassia, who had a good understanding with Nainggolan, flew up.
