Chapter 100
This is not a sound wave of hostility. The tens of thousands of fans at home are not calling for any player of their own team, but Lorenzo, who stands at the head of the Piacenza team and wears the captain's armband.
In the south stand of the Bente Gotti Stadium, a huge TIFO is undulating. On the huge TIFO, a player wearing the No. 3 Chievo uniform can be vaguely seen looking up, and there is an Italian sentence below it.
"Welcome home, Dana."
In such a gracious reception, no player would still remain silent. Lorenzo walked into the stadium and raised his hands tremblingly. He looked around and looked at the place he had been sticking to for ten years. The corners of his eyes were a little moist.
After being sold to Piacenza by the club last season, after falling out with Castori.
He never thought that one day he could return to Bente Gotti as a player. Lorenzo, who was notified by Castori to leave the team during the winter break, was even ready to announce his retirement at the time.
But fortunately, he came back, although this time, he was an opponent.
Gossip less, when the captains of the two teams came to the referee to guess coins, Pelissier chose to give up after chatting with Lorenzo with a smile, and he directly asked Lorenzo to choose whether to have the ball or the field.
This is the last concession made by the Chievo players to their old captain before the start of the game.
"Glad you're back, Dana, but we'll be the winners this time."
"Haha, Sergio, you are still so confident." Lorenzo smiled and accepted Pelissier's kindness, but he had a different view on the outcome of the game: "However, I will not give up easily."
"Really? I'll wait and see."
In the end, Lorenzo chose the ball. For the visiting team without home court advantage, it doesn't really matter which half they are in. Having the ball can instead allow them to better control the initiative.
Players from both sides opened their positions and stood still. With the whistle of the referee, this high-profile game officially kicked off.
This is a battle of Tianwangshan, which has been discussed countless times in the analysis of the strength of the two teams before the game. The morale of the players on both sides reached its peak after their respective teams completed four consecutive victories and an unbelievable seventeen rounds of unbeaten.
So from the first minute of the game, the game became exciting.
After Piacenza took the kick-off from Cassia, the ball quickly moved from the front to the midfield. Nainggolan and Padalino used their respective advantages to trick the first batch of Chievo strikers who crossed the center line.
Later, when the ball was knocked to Scarpelli who rushed up from behind him in a heel pass by Nainggolan, Scarpelli directly kicked a long pass to find Daniel Wolff, who had already rushed in from the right.
Wolff had quite the pace, and he got the ball before Chievo's left-back Dre Mantovani reached the point.
He has been emphasized countless times before the game not to be too sticky to the ball. He did not give Mantovani, who has excellent stealing ability, a chance. He raised his eyes and glanced at the penalty area.
In the midfield, Cassia and Padalino had already run near the penalty area line, and they rushed towards Chievo's penalty area at the same time at the moment of Waugher's cross.Still as usual, Padalino is the wingman and Cassia is the main attacker.
When a team's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, it means that it is easier for his opponents to get his information. After Cassia was rated as the top five header forwards in Serie B by some media who like to rank, even a fool knows to defend against Piacenza's high-altitude ball.
As Chievo, who is surprisingly high in both player quality and tactical execution ability, it makes no sense for them not to make arrangements for Cassia.
Before Liu Feng was injured, Yachini was worried that putting too much defense center on Liu Feng would make Cassia succeed in chaos, but now Piacenza only has a single arrow left, so it would be easy to solve.
A secret and innocuous pull was arranged by Iachini to specifically target Cassia's 190cm tall central defender Gennaro Sado.
He already had a height advantage, and he directly surpassed Cassia by a head in jump height, and he hit the ball firmly before the ball came to Cassia's head.As Sado overwhelmed Cassia with a header to clear the siege, Chievo's crisis in front of the goal was lifted.
Chievo fans also cheered for the team after the team completed a high-quality defense. Their home team was as stable as usual.
After the end of Piacenza's offense, the offense and defense quickly switched, and Chievo began their counterattack.
From the moment Sado kicked the ball out, Chievo's players began to run in full swing.
Another central defender, David Manderley, grabbed the first point of his teammate's push and then passed the ball to the team's right winger with a long pass. The camera shot from their backcourt to the frontcourt in an instant.
There is no need to talk about the power of Chievo's trident in the league. Carney also repeatedly told the team's defensive players to be more energetic before the game. Therefore, when the right winger crossed the center line, everyone in Piacenza became very nervous.
The team's left midfielder Guzman was the first to pounce. His body is relatively thin, so he didn't choose to lean on and confront the opponent head-on. Instead, he chose to run with the opponent's winger and kept pressing him to the side.
There is nothing wrong with this choice. The problem is that Guzman is facing a player with extremely rich experience. After a big dunk, Guzman, who had no time to turn around, was wiped out.
With a through ball passing between Scarpelli and Nainggolan, who were a little far away, Pelissier, who quickly ran to the position, received the ball less than five meters from the top of the penalty area.
This kind of counterattack was really sharp. Chievo just passed a few passes and directly broke the heavy midfielder arranged by Carney, and brought the duel on the field back to the frontcourt offensive and defensive battle they are extremely good at.
When Pelissier got the ball, there were no defensive players around him for a moment, and he quickly dribbled the ball forward. When he was about to enter the penalty area, he faced the central defender who was coming up from Piacenza.
Then, he chose to split the ball.
With a wonderful pass from the heel, the ball passed into the penalty area from the side of the defensive player. After Chievo passed the ball, the left winger who inserted from the right side rushed into the penalty area from outside the penalty area at this moment, and sent a tackle without hesitation.
"Oh!"
"Roar~~~"
Unfortunately, the ball from the striker's feet did not fly to the goal with the prolonged roar of the home fans.
Because at that moment, a flying broad figure appeared on the path of the ball.With a loud crash, the shot was blocked tightly.
That figure was exactly Lorenzo who had been withdrawn from the sidewalk into the penalty area.
"Lorenzo! Beautiful block!!! This player is not waterproof against his old club."
Fabio gave great appreciation in the commentary room: "In the first 10 minutes of the game, Piacenza and Chievo gave us a very exciting offensive and defensive battle."
On the court, a battle between dragons and tigers is still going on.
Thanks for the support!
