Chapter 85 The Coach's Game

When Piacenza took the lead again, the game time had come to 75 minutes.

Carney started his substitutions. It has to be said that compared with Conte, who had played for a wealthy club in his player days, Piacenza fell behind in the competition with Barry for the position of coach.

Under the warning of the team doctor last time, Carney faced up to the use of the team's hard-won young talent.

Compared with other European players, Liu Feng's body is fundamentally different, and the physical maturity of Asians and European and American whites are different.

Carney believes that at the age when Liu Feng is still growing up, he should not be asked to take on the task of playing every game.

Therefore, Carney made two matchup substitutions. After replacing the team's left back with veteran Lorenzo, he replaced Liu Feng with a defensive midfielder.

This attitude is obvious, and Piacenza will spend the next time in defense.

"There are at least 15 minutes left in the game. Is Carney's choice a bit too conservative?"

During the commentary, Fabio and Eximi discussed the changes in the situation on the court.

"That's true. There are still two substitutions left in Conte's hands. The lead of only one goal is not very safe."

The two commentators were discussing, and on the court, Conte made an adjustment that left everyone stunned.

He directly replaced a central defender and the exhausted Hezal who was already running in the frontcourt, and put on an attacking midfielder and a speed forward.

Barry's lineup directly became 352.

That's right, three central defenders, this is the formation that Conte has never played after taking over Barry. This game showed up behind Piacenza.

On the court, the unsurprised expressions of the Bari players showed that this was by no means Conte's whim.

Obviously, in Barry's daily training, the 352 formation has been rehearsed many times.

So, what are the changes brought about by such adjustments?
After Liu Feng got off the field under the cheers of the fans, the quality of Piacenza's midfield had already dropped a notch.

And when Conte continues to deploy more troops in the midfield, the effect is not 4+1=5.

The entire Piacenza formation was pushed back to its own half, leaving only Cassia wandering around in Bari's half with nothing to do.

And Barry's offensive is like endless waves, layer after layer. Because of the strong midfielder, Barry's two forwards enjoy the right to fire unlimitedly very comfortably.

Piacenza is not a team that is good at arranging buses, and Barry's striker has become a combination of one fast and one slow under Conte's ingenious substitutions.

Such a situation is quite bad for Piacenza's defense.

"Oh~, after a key player like Liu Feng left the field, Carney fell into a comprehensive disadvantage in the game against Conte."

Fabio shook his head and watched the situation on the field change dramatically in 5 minutes.

Conte's changes are too targeted. Compared with it, Carney's pure matchup substitutions are indeed a bit sloppy.

After nearly 10 minutes of indiscriminate bombardment, Piacenza's backcourt finally couldn't bear it...

First, Barry's newly replaced striker was saved by a teammate's through shot, and then Lorenzo in the penalty area made a clearance to the arc of the penalty area.

Two of Bari's midfielders, who were already fully pressed, were distributed around that position, and they got the ball again before Scarpelli came to the ball's landing position.

Immediately, a powerful long-range shot was blasted out. Piacenza's goalkeeper Roberto played bravely and threw the ball again, but he had no time to guard against the striker who followed up.

The score was leveled with an easy push from Bari striker Emmanuel Rivas.

"It's unbelievable that Barry evened the score just after entering stoppage time!"

Eximi shouted excitedly, as a Barry fan, there is nothing more exciting than the team scoring an unanimous goal in the final stage of the game.

If there is, it should be the lore ball.

However, he is very clear that just 2 minutes of stoppage time is not enough for the two teams to play a full attack, so lore is almost impossible.

When Barry's players returned to their positions after a fierce celebration, the referee opted to blow the full-time whistle after Piacenza kicked off and fell down a few feet in the backcourt.

The score of 2:2 is also fixed.

"Carney is largely responsible for the team's missed threes."

The cameras of the cameraman kept switching between Conte, Carney and Liu Feng, the three key players in this game, at the last moment.

Carney, who was holding his head in frustration, Liu Feng, who smiled helplessly, and Conte, who was quite satisfied. The performance of the three after the finale fully explained the result of the game.

Fabio commented on the game at the last moment: "Liu Feng's performance is already excellent for his age group, but it is obvious that Piacenza's problem in this game is the loss in the contest between two young coaches."

In a game, the coaching level of Carney and Conte is judged. It is obvious that Conte, who has a brilliant player resume, has the potential to become a higher-level coach than Carney.

After the game, media interviews mainly revolved around the three of them.

In the interview, Liu Feng expressed his satisfaction with his state after the rotation and his regret at the team's loss of three points at the last moment.

As for the media deliberately digging holes for him to answer questions about the evaluation of the abilities of the two coaches, he did not reply.

Liu Feng, who has gradually gained fame in Serie B, has long been privately trained by Joao.

He knows what kind of questions and answers are beneficial to him, and what kind of questions are the pits that the media just dig for themselves in order to gain popularity.

In fact, Liu Feng has slowly transformed from a big boy to a professional player from the very beginning when he participated in the interview for the first time.

After the media didn't get what they wanted from Liu Feng, they let him go, and instead threw many intense questions to Carney.

Carney, who was already quite annoyed, didn't give them a good face. He left the post-match press conference after answering two simple questions.

In fact, Carney is also suffering. Since Piacenza finished fourth in Serie B last season, players with a little bit of strength in the team have been poached by big clubs one after another.

In the first half of this season, in addition to the problem of Castori's coaching level, there is also the weakness of the team lineup.

This kind of problem didn't get better until the winter break, when the team promoted a series of promising young people from the reserve team, but the problem of the team's low bench level still exists.

Therefore, Piacenza can make up a lineup that is enough to compete for the top of the league on the starting lineup, but it seems quite ineffective on the bench.

You can't rely on the second half of the game to replace the veteran every time to support it!
The management of Piacenza obviously also knew the situation of the team, so they chose to stand up when the media criticized Carney.

They said that they are satisfied with the team's obvious improvement since Carney took office, and will continue to support their head coach in all aspects.

In the end, the heat of the matter came to an end after officials stood up to support Carney.
