According to the rules of Serie B according to the rankings, their respective opponents have been determined, three days after the end of the final round, the first leg will be played on June 14, the second leg will be played on June 18, the first round of the final will be held on June 22, and the second leg of the final will be held on June 26。

Before the away game against Piacenza, Akori mainly practiced defense, because the first one is away, he must first defend it, although Piacenza will not care about the strong attack, but the main theme must still attack, the real test of Rimini's defense has arrived.

On the afternoon of June 13, the club arranged for the whole team to go north, mainly considering that the game is very critical, and the players must first ensure that they have a good rest in order to play at a normal level.

After arriving at Piacenza, the players rested for a while, and after dinner, Acori called everyone to watch the video, which is a highlight of Piacenza's offensive routines, in fact, this was seen in the previous preparation process, and now it is just for everyone to review it again, so that they can have more memories in their minds, and they can make the right choice early when they encounter a situation.

The next morning, the club borrowed the training ground of a small local football club to do a recovery training, which was not very long, and returned to the hotel at noon for lunch, and the players rested for a while. Arriving at the Leonardo Gallili Stadium in Piacenza half an hour early in the afternoon, Arcori warmed up his players before making a pre-match tactical setup in the away dressing room.

Piacenza is a very interesting team, many people know that La Liga team Athletic Bilbao only recruits players with Basque origin, and Piacenza is the same as them, except that they do not accept foreign players, even from other European countries, the whole team only has local players, this tradition was only broken in the 01-02 season, they welcomed their first foreign player Matuzallen, but Matuzallen only played one season in Piacenza before transferring. They have produced many well-known players, such as Signoli, the Inzaghi brothers, etc., and they also have a famous fan, Giorgio Armani is a die-hard fan of them, Giorgio Armani is said to have helped them design the shirt, and Giorgio Armani is said to be present at almost every home stadium.

Obviously, their history is much more glorious than Rimini's, but now is not the time to compete with history, now is the time to fight hard.

More than 20,000 seats were filled with spectators, and Rimini naturally had fans come to the away stadium to cheer for the team, but the voice must be very weak compared to the Piacenza fans, Zhang Yuan and they stood in the players' tunnel and heard the deafening singing outside, and the home team fans sang Piacenza's team song.

Zhang Yuan naturally received the "warm hospitality" from the home team's fans as soon as they appeared, but these will not affect Zhang Yuan's anything, with his phenomenal performance in Serie B, the growth of fame, the away fans naturally boo him the most, and gradually get used to it, being scolded shows that he is still a headache for the enemy. As for whether his teammates are nervous or not, he doesn't know, at least he can't see the nervousness on everyone's faces.

Exchange flags, guess the side, the game started soon, Piacenza and Rimini are the same 442 formation, and they actively began to put pressure on Rimini after the opening, but at the same time their three lines are very tightly combined, the two players in the midfield, Nocerino and Patrascu, are defensive midfielders, the organizational ability is not strong, the midfield sweeping ability is not bad, it just so happens that the midfielder Rimini sent today is also a player with outstanding defensive ability, Polkia and Cristiano.

The midfield configuration of the two sides is destined to make a fuss in the middle of the road, but the head coaches of the two teams did not focus on the side but in the middle after the opening, and the midfield was stale, and for a while people turned their backs, and the referee may have seen that both sides were a little big, and the result was not until 20 minutes, and the two teams each ate a yellow card, Piacenza is Patrascu, Rimini is Cristiano.

Piacenza manager Rakini made the first change, shifting his focus to the wings and trying to create chances with crosses, and one of their starting strikers, Cassia, was not particularly tall in his own right, but he was a quick, header who could fight for the top in the box and play the first fulcrum or head the ball.

The effect of his change was obvious, Rimini was caught off guard, and in the 25th minute, Piacenza left midfielder Lanzari dodged Vitiero cross, Cassia headed the ball, and the ambushed Argentine striker Lucas Simon got rid of Regonesi's defensive header and headed the ball into Rimini's goal, Simon was too close to the goal for Handanovic to react.

Piacenza at home took the lead, the crowd cheered, Akori just waved his hand on the sidelines, and then applauded his players to show everyone to concentrate, although they were one goal behind, but this is not the end, there is still more time, and their own overreaction may affect the mood of the players.

Piacenza continued to play wide after taking the lead, but this time Rimini would not be so prone to leaks and the game was once again deadlocked.

Zhang Yuan retreated deep in the forward position, but the opponent's defense line was indeed closely combined with the line in the midfield, Nocerino was responsible for defending him closely, but Nocerino alone could not prevent Zhang Yuan at all, Zhang Yuan's ability to get rid of it in situ is much stronger than before, mainly because the strength of the body has increased, and Nocerino can still fight. Patrascu saw that Nocerino was nervous, so he could only come over to assist Nocerino in the defense, plus the back line, plus pulling and pulling, successfully limited Zhang Yuan's play. Another important reason why Zhang Yuan can't play is that Rimini's pressure on the Piacenza defense line is really not enough, Akori insists on defense first, resulting in the two wings and the midfielder The two players dare not rely too much, even when Rimini controls the ball, he is not resolute, resulting in the midfielder's assistance to Zhang Yuan is not enough, and Akori completely let Zhang Yuan and Jada face each other's entire defensive system. Zhang Yuan is not a god, and he can have an amazing performance of going to the meeting with a single knife every time, let alone Jada.

This was the end of the first half, Piacenza wing tactics were limited by Rimini's adjusted tactics, and Rimini simply played the idea of defending first, and the offensive pressure was not enough, as a result, Piacenza failed to extend the score, and Rimini failed to equalize.

Akori is not a fool, of course, he sees the dilemma of the team's attack, so in the latter part of the first half, he was thinking about how to change this situation, of course defense is important, and it is very uncomfortable to concede a goal away, but after all, this is an away game, and the next set is a home game, so there may not be no chance to recover the disadvantage. However, it is not a way to defend like in the first half, if the opponent continues to take the offensive in the second half, he may not be able to score another goal after a long attack, and he is two goals behind, even if the next game is at home, Akori does not dare to guarantee that his team will be able to pull it back, let alone win. He and Martini muttered for a long time in the dugout, and finally made up their minds to take a gamble, replacing a defensive midfielder, and who to replace is a question, but this problem did not take him long, he decided to replace Cristiano, for Baruso, he believes that Porkia was originally playing as a central defender, and the tacit understanding and integration with the back line is stronger, the opponent wants to score, and the middle of the penalty area is the focus. Barusso is definitely not as good as Cristiano defensively, but his organizational skills are stronger than Cristiano, and he can give more support to Zhang Yuan and Jada in the front court, so as to avoid Zhang Yuan and Jada falling into a lonely situation.

So at the beginning of the second half, Rimini took the lead in making substitution adjustments, Barusso replaced Cristiano, and Piacenza did not make adjustments for the time being, after replacing Baruso, Rimini's attack really looked like a little bit, the midfield transmission was much smoother, and the defensive pressure on Zhang Yuan was also reduced a lot.

Seeing that something was wrong, Lakini made a decision to shrink the defence for the time being, and both wings were retracted.

Seeing the change, Akori signaled to Rimini's players on the pitch that he could press a little more and put more pressure on the opposition's defence.

The pressure on the two wings, the cooperation between Zhang Yuan and the midfielder increased, and the flexible running position of him and Jada made Rimini's attack completely alive.

In the 63rd minute, Barusso in the middle and Riquiuti on the wing, The short pass cooperation between the three strikers Zhang Yuan successfully tore apart the defense on the right side of Piacenza, Richiuti was about 10 meters away from the bottom line and chose a horizontal pass, the ball was not passed to the penalty area, but passed back to Zhang Yuan who ran to the front of the penalty area, Zhang Yuan faked a real shot after receiving the ball, buckled past Olivier who came up to block, and then passed diagonally to Jada on the left side of the penalty area, Jada did not stop the ball, but directly pushed the ball to the middle with the arch of his foot, Zhang Yuan followed up and shot into the far corner of the goal before the opponent's defender Campagnaro tackled, the opposing goalkeeper touched the ball but failed to change direction, the ball still pierced into the net, Rimini used this opportunity to equalize the score。

Lakini was thunderous on the sidelines, and his defensive system was so simple to break through, what about Nocerino, who defended Zhang Yuan, and what about defensive midfielder Patrascu?

It's no wonder that Piacenza started with two midfielders, Rimini's press, their defensive pressure increased sharply, Nocerino was got rid of the triangle cross, and he didn't catch up with Zhang Yuan at all, Zhang Yuan ran fast and flexible, Rimini's attack this time was in one go, there was no pause, it was difficult for him to chase, and what was Patrascu doing? While leaning towards the middle, he also had to help keep an eye on Jada and Moscaldelli on the right.
