Chapter 270 is not a level

On the vertical day, the whole Piacenza team gathered at the club, then got on the team bus, and set off under the welcome of the fans who could not travel with the team.

Catania, the second largest city in Sicily in southern Italy, Catania Club is the only first-tier football club in this city, so it also carries the greatest expectations of the fans in this city. From the time the bus from Piacenza drove into Catania, they received a "warm" welcome from the fans on the street.

"Wow, the fans are crazy."

Looking at the Catania fans who were frantically demonstrating towards them outside the car window, the players in the car seemed quite surprised. Before they came here, Catania had always been a weak team in their minds, but now it is obviously different.

"Be sure to cheer me up for the next game!"

Conte looked at the fans of Catania and frowned. Generally speaking, the atmosphere of a team's fans can reflect a team's recent state to a certain extent. Although Catania lost to Sampdoria in the last round of the league, it was an away game. In fact, Catania's winning percentage at home this season is quite high.

This small club, which fights for relegation every season, obviously understands the importance of pleasing fans, so it can always burst out with super-level strength in front of its own fans, which makes Conte even more suspicious of the direction of this game. He is a little worried about whether the team will collapse.

"Good boss!"

The players in the car didn't have such thoughts. Those players who got the chance to play were very excited at the moment. Their minds were all about proving themselves in this game rather than whether they would collapse.

"Yeah." Conte naturally wouldn't hit the morale of the players at this time, he nodded and sat back in his seat.

"CCTV, CCTV, hello everyone, I'm Liu Jianhong!"

As the bus drove into the Massimono Stadium, this round of the league is about to start, and CCTV [-] has also put the scene of the stadium in the commentary room. As always, Liu Jianhong, who was the commentator of the Piacenza game, sat in the commentary room and took on the task of warming up the game.

"The game will officially start at [-]:[-] a.m. BJ time. What you see now is the warm-up teams of the two teams."

Piacenza began to step on the field soon after arriving. Under the leadership of Conte, every player was very serious. Although the pre-match media broadcast and collected information proved that Catania was a weak team, Piacenza itself was not a strong team. After all, they were still in Serie B last season.

Therefore, it is impossible for the players to have the emotion of underestimating the enemy like some wealthy teams, not to mention that the team played with a semi-main lineup in this game.

In short, in the pre-match warm-up shots, both Catania and Piacenza showed a very serious attitude.

After stepping on the field, Conte gave the team his last tactical speech in the locker room. Liu Feng has also handed over the captain's armband to the team's second captain Maurantanio. This old player of the club will serve as the team's field captain in this game.

"Okay, the specific tactics are like this, you must have understood." Conte said the last point of the arrangement, threw the pen in his hand aside and clapped his hands: "I think you also understand what this game means, so go do it!"

"Roar!"

The players in the locker room roared together, and walked out of the locker room under the leadership of Maurantanio.

"Now that the two teams are on the pitch, the visiting team Piacenza has chosen kick-off."

As the two teams gathered on the field, Liu Jianhong’s eyes also fell on the game with the audience in front of the TV: “Piacenza’s lineup this time is mainly composed of substitute players, obviously for the next game against Juventus. Prepare for the game.”

On the court, as Cassia pushed the ball to Flocari opposite him, the game finally kicked off.

Piacenza chose to stabilize the situation at the beginning. After taking the ball, Flocari pushed the ball to Padalino in the midfield. Padalino turned around and passed the ball to Marchisio, the team's backcourt organizer. Marchisio began to dispatch the ball in his own backcourt.

Catania's formation in this game is 433. The most well-known striker on the team's front line is the young striker Takashin Morimoto from Japan. This 20-year-old Japanese genius was officially introduced by Catania last season and scored a goal for the team in [-] games.

This has made domestic fans envious. Of course, after Liu Feng directly set off a Chinese storm in Serie A this season, this envy disappeared.

Since the start of this season, Takayuki Morimoto has obviously found the state of the game. He has scored four goals in the opening [-] rounds. This efficiency is already a very good result among ordinary Serie A forwards.

Before this round of competition, many Asian reporters pulled out Liu Feng and Morimoto Takashin for targeted reports. Some Japanese media also compared this round of competition to the Asian derby of Serie A. They are obviously very optimistic about their own talents.

However, this wave of comparison did not cause much trouble in China. The Sports Weekly only did one thing to make the fans lose their minds about comparing this so-called Japanese genius with Liu Feng: "The Sports Weekly released the data of Takashin Morimoto and Liu Feng's Serie A again intact."

The stats of the two are not of the same weight at all. In front of Liu Feng, Takashin Morimoto's stats are not enough to look at. For the first time in many years, domestic fans expressed their disdain for overseas players from Japan: What is it, compare it with our Afeng!

Therefore, the popularity of this kind of comparison in China has not been stirred up at all, and when Piacenza announced that Liu Feng will sit on the bench in this round of the league, this kind of comparison has completely died down.

Yes, not only is the Chinese media not interested in reporting on Kishin Morimoto, but Conte also doesn’t take the young striker who is also from Asia on the opposite side of his heart. In his heart, Liu Feng and Kishin Morimoto are not at the same level, not even Cassia.

The fact is exactly the same, Morimoto Kishin was almost closed to himself by Piacenza's two substitute central defenders for nearly 10 minutes after the opening, while Cassia and Flocari continued to cause trouble for Catania after the opening.

In this game, the substitute players of Piacenza played with great energy. For a while, they played on par with Catania, and even had an advantage on the scene, which satisfied Conte who was standing in the coaching area on the sidelines.

In the No. 305 minute of the first half of the game, the team seized the opportunity to take the lead.
