Chapter 79 A Chance of Redemption

In Piacenza's dressing room, the atmosphere was almost frozen.

After returning to the locker room, head coach Carney pushed the tactical board aside and sat in front of the players without saying a word.

Such a complete collapse was unexpected by everyone, but it actually happened. This has gone beyond the tactical level, and it is entirely due to the players' depressed state and wrong coping methods.

Scarpelli sat there with his head bowed and his shoulders shrugged slightly. This young player, who had just celebrated his birthday not long ago, was trying his best to control his emotions of tightening and collapsing.

"El, it's not your fault." Nainggolan and Cassia, who had the best relationship with Scarpelli in the team, seemed a little at a loss. They sat on both sides of him and patted his shoulder.

"I……"

This feeling is very powerless. Scarpelli's first-team start has been disastrous. He no longer knows the words to express his feelings.

At this time, Lorenzo, the most respected old player in the team, came over, stood in front of Scarpelli, and pulled the young guy up.

Since Scarpelli was recruited into the team, Lorenzo has become his senior who is both a teacher and a friend. Lorenzo, who has reached the age of retirement, likes this player who saw his youth in him very much, so every day when he trains, he will teach Scarpelli his own experience.

Among other things, Scarpelli only made long passes that were ineffective when he was in the reserve team. Under the guidance of Lorenzo, he has made great progress.All in all, Scarpelli has great respect for the old man of this team.

"Stand up!" Lorenzo didn't just look at Scarpelli silently like on the field. At this time, he was very like a father who saw his ineffective son collapsed due to a little setback, angry and distressed at the same time.

"Dan, Dana." Scarpelli was caught off guard and pulled up by Lorenzo, looking a little at a loss.

"Are you ready to give up?"

"I……"

"Do you know how many mistakes I made when I was young?" Lorenzo hammered Scarpelli's chest heavily: "Boy, if you really collapsed because of this shitty first half, everyone will look down on you!"

Scarpelli listened to Lorenzo's words and recalled the teasing smiles of Brescia's Caracciolo and Tadei when they conceded twice in the first half.

He slowly clenched his fists, slowly burning with anger. In the youth team, he was famous for his fearlessness and strong defense, but since he went to the reserve team and was promoted to the first team, he seemed to be like a beast on the field. He disappeared.

If in the reserve team, Francini restricted Scarpelli because he was afraid that he would not be able to control his emotions on the field, then after so many years of coming to the first team, Scarpelli already has the ability to control himself, but he is still short of an opportunity to regain the feeling at that time.

"Shit! I'm going to make them look good."

Outside the locker room, Liu Feng leaned against the door of the locker room, smiling, listening to the conversation in the room, his memory was brought back to those years in Santos.

I still remember the first time I cried because I lost a game, my father, who always loved me, didn't come over to comfort me when I was crying as usual, but scolded me severely.

That scolding was still fresh in Liu Feng's memory, because it was the first time his father blushed at him, and it was also the last time.

From that day on, Santos' genius Feng was truly born. In the eyes of teammates and coaches, Liu Feng became the soul of the team who can maintain endless fighting spirit no matter what the team is in or what adversity it is in.

Gently opened the door and walked in. The teammates were a little surprised that Liu Feng, who was supposed to be in the stands, appeared here, but considering that this was his home court, and Serie B did not have too many restrictions on the players' locker room access, everyone accepted it.

At this time, Carney, who had been silent all the time, was holding up the tactical board and preparing to say something after Lorenzo stimulated Scarpelli. After seeing Liu Feng, he nodded and didn't say much.

"In the second half, there will be no change in the team's lineup!"

Pointing to the tactical board, Carney said word by word: "However, Padalino, your position will be advanced. I need you, Racha and Cassia to help the team change the score."

After the players heard the head coach's arrangement, they were a little confused, because most of the players believed that during the intermission, Scarpelli, the most important figure who caused the team to lose three goals, would be replaced.

"Coach, let El be the only midfielder..."

Some players immediately raised doubts. The combination of double defensive midfielders was overwhelmed by the opponent. It is really unwise for the head coach to change formation.

"Yes, is there a problem?"

Carney nodded and replied, but his eyes were always on Scarpelli who was beside Liu Feng after Liu Feng came in.

"I have no problem!!! I'll make them pay."

Scarpelli didn't lower his head this time, he raised his head to meet Carney's eyes, and puffed out his chest.

"Ok."

In fact, Carney has to take a lot of risks to make such a decision, but rather than destroying a talented young player, he is willing to take a gamble. Compared with directly replacing Scarpelli, giving him a chance to redeem is the best solution.

As for whether it is a dragon or a snake, it depends on his performance in the second half.

Next, Carney said some very provocative words, hoping to mobilize the enthusiasm of the players.

It's a pity that the score of 0:3 at halftime really had too much influence. Although the players said they would try their best in the second half, they didn't know what they thought about Carney.

After all, not every team can stage a desperate reversal like Liverpool.

"El, do you know why I decided to be friends with you?"

After Liu Feng came to the locker room, he sat directly with Scarpelli. He smiled and looked at his friend who had improved a lot after being stimulated by Lorenzo, and said, "Because, I really like the way you refuse to admit defeat."

"Actually, when we first met, although your arrogance in front of me made me very uncomfortable, I could feel the stubbornness in your bones."

Touching the back of his head, Liu Feng leaned against the cabinet behind him: "El, the striker on the opposite side has humiliated you so much, you won't even be able to show the performance you had against me?"

"Screw you!"

After Liu Feng came and sat down beside him, Scarpelli understood the purpose of Feng's coming. Obviously, this friend of his came with the idea of ​​enlightening him, but Liu Feng's words reminded him of a bad memory.

"Don't worry, those two strikers are far worse than you. In this game, they will not score again!!!"

At the end of halftime, players from both sides return to the field.

The photographer pointed the camera at Scarpelli, who played disastrously in the first half of Piacenza. However, people did not see the expected dejected face. What appeared in their eyes was a raging bull.

"Is it over?" In the auditorium, Yuan Xiao looked at Liu Feng who had returned to his side.

"Yeah, El is much stronger than I imagined." Nodding, Liu Feng took the scarf handed over by Yuan Xiao and looked into the arena. The last expression that Scarpelli gave himself appeared in his mind.

"Next, it depends on how well he can perform."

　It's Father's Day, what are your memories of your father?

　　Scarpelli is a relatively important role at this stage, so it took some chapters to describe it, readers, please bear with me!Finally, ask for another wave of collections! !Ask for a wave of recommendations! ! !
