Chapter 87 The Contempt of a Strong Enemy

Bologna, one of the oldest clubs in Italy, has won seven Serie A titles, two Coppa Italia titles, and is the first Italian team to win a European championship.

Their home stadium is the Dallara Stadium, which can accommodate 38279 people. It is one of the most popular top football markets in Italy.

This team has a huge number of diehard fans. Even when the team was relegated from Serie A to Serie B in the 2004-2005 season, their home attendance rate was still hot, even surpassing some small teams playing in Serie A.

In contrast, Piacenza is more like a club that came out of a small country town, and has rarely been able to shine brightly in its 80-year history.

The most glorious moment is nothing more than winning a Coppa Italia championship and achieving 21th place in Serie A in the early [-]st century.

After being relegated to Serie B two years ago, Bologna has been preparing to return to Serie A. For two seasons, through the appeal of the club and the operation of the manager, the team has been signing some players who have retired from Serie A but are still guaranteed.

Massimo Maracina, who joined in the 2005-2006 season, is one of the best. Now 33 years old, Maracina is a standard Italian-style striker with extremely powerful comprehensive abilities.

Relying on his extremely flexible running position and excellent ability to grab points, he can often attack with the ball and cause a lore.

And in his new season when he joined the team, the striker combination he and Bellucci, another striker of the team, was rated as the most offensive and aggressive striker combination in Serie B.

In addition, Maracina, who has a standard European handsome face, is extremely passionate on the court. His attitude and fighting spirit in the game make it impossible to see that this is a player who has passed his [-]s.

This season, under the coaching of the team's new coach Daniel Arrigoni, the unprecedentedly hot Maracina is leading the scorer list with [-] goals. Bologna fans and local newspapers affectionately called him Bologna's "idol killer".

At this time, in the Bologna media reception room, a pre-match press conference was going on under such a background.

As the coach of Bologna, Daniel Alligoni can be described as high-spirited. In the season he took office, he completely activated the entire team. Bologna has not fallen out of the top three positions in the league since the start of the game.

Before two rounds of the league, Bologna was ranked first in the league.

Today, they are only one point behind Chievo, so the entire Bologna team is gearing up to regain the number one throne.

This round against Piacenza, in the eyes of Aligoni, is an opportunity.

Although I have to admit that Piacenza's scoring efficiency since the start of the second half of the league is terrifying, but it is not difficult to see from its 20:3 away game against Lecce in the No.1 seventh round of the league that this is a very unstable team.

Obviously, playing against big teams is still a problem for Piacenza.

Alligoni had the experience of beating Piacenza with a semi-substitute lineup in the first half, so he is bound to win this game.This idea was also clearly revealed in his answer to reporters' questions at the press conference.

"Piacenza in the limelight in the latest league?"

With a confident smile and elegant answers, Arrigoni responded to questions from different media in his familiar press hall: "However, I believe my team will not be afraid of them."

"Then Mr. Alligoni, how will you deal with Liu Feng, who is in the limelight in Piacenza?"

"Ahem, the Chinese teenager is indeed a huge threat, but I think my players can limit him well. After all, Lecce has already done it a few league rounds ago, hasn't it?"

"Haha."

Most of the media here are local media in Bologna, and they naturally know how the team overwhelmed Lecce, who is in the third position, in the league.

What Aligoni means is obvious. Since Lecce can restrain Liu Feng, his players have no reason to be afraid of Liu Feng.

"On top of that, folks, please don't forget that I'm sitting next to the top scorer of the season so far."

With a big wave of his hand, Arrigoni patted Massimo Maracina who came to the press conference with him: "I think our idol-level killer is no worse than Piacenza's Super Maple."

"Haha, I really want to see if Piacenza's new Super one is really as powerful as Pipo."

Maracina took the topic and talked about his views on Liu Feng with a smile: "Inzaghi is a player who can cause trouble for opponents at any time."

Maracina, who had played against Inzaghi in the competition, obviously admired him very much. It is not difficult to hear the teasing between his words. He did not quite agree with Liu Feng being called Super Maple.

"Wow!"

The media made surprise voices. Maracina, who likes to create hot spots both on and off the court, still did not disappoint them this time.

His doubts about Piacenza's rising star Liu Feng will undoubtedly become a huge hype point for the media before the game.

"So the two are very optimistic about the outcome of this game?" A reporter asked Arrigoni and Massimo a final question with a smile.

"Well, I respect every opponent, so we will still do our best to win this game and surpass Chievo. After all, this season, our goal is to reach the top. If we can win a championship along the way, I think it should be good."

Arrigoni did not answer the reporter's question directly, but he suddenly talked about the overtaking of Chievo, clearly expressing his optimism about the victory over Piacenza.

And Maracina showed a playful smile: "I feel very good now, and I can't wait to prove myself again on the green field."

The press conference in Bologna broke out hot topics one after another. From Maracina's doubts about Liu Feng to Arrigoni's strong confidence in defeating Piacenza, the Bologna media kept conveying to the outside world that the team would win easily.

Therefore, when the press conference at Piacenza was held, the media began to ask Carney and Liu Feng questions one after another on sharp topics.

Both Liu Feng and Carney are not impulsive people, so they kept smiling in the face of some reporters who were obviously contemptuous of the team, but after the press conference, everything was different.

"Fuck! They're going to pay for it!" Carney raged in the Piacenza dressing room.

His anger is also driving every Piacenza player.

Except for Liu Feng and Scarpelli and other players who joined the team in the second half of the schedule, most of the team's players have experienced the dark first half of the game against Bologna.

In that game, Bologna only played half of the main players. Although the score was only 1:0, only the parties involved can know what the situation on the field is like.

At that time, Maracina was substituted after scoring a goal in the first half.After replacing several substitutes, Bologna's coach Alligoni also sat directly on the bench and stopped directing the team.

Even so, Piacenza, under the leadership of Castori, still hasn't changed the scene where the team is under pressure.

Being underestimated by Bologna again this time, the Piacenza players, who have slowly recovered themselves, ignited the fire of revenge in their hearts.

As for Liu Feng, he was sitting on the sidelines watching Maracina's slightly contemptuous expression at the press conference: "Inter Milan's youth training, interesting..."
