Chapter 174: Backwardness

Cesena, who dominated the field for almost the entire first half, made a rare mistake in the process of a backcourt pass. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

And for the old and spicy Palermo, this mistake of Cesena was almost fatal.

In the 41st minute of the first half, Cesena took the lead in launching a new wave of attack, Zou Zhaolong in the midfield, directly in the Cesena playground diagonal long pass, found Rodriguez on the right side, possession of the ball has not been Rodriguez's advantage, under the slight pressure of the Palermo players, Rodriguez looked very embarrassed, passed the ball back to the feet of midfielder Rosit!

Rosit's game is also a key player for Palermo, so when the football came to his feet, it was not able to stay for long, but immediately passed to Micic on the left!

At the end of the first half, Micic did not risk passing a long pass, and passed the football back to the half again for the sake of safety, but just as the football rolled to the feet of defender Nicha, it was directly tackled by Palermo midfielder Gazi, who was suddenly inserted.

It was a very dangerous tackle for Cesena, because after grabbing the ball, Ghazi did not pause, and went straight to the spot, and a cross sent the ball to the feet of Palermo striker Salé, who was already waiting outside the Cesena penalty area and had a large space in front of him.

Faced with almost no defenders and only the Cesena goalkeeper in the box, Salaì chose to shoot directly, and the ball hit the corner of the goal and drilled into the goal.

1:0。

Palermo played a beautiful duo to get the ball into Cesena's goal and scored first in the matchup.

Needless to say, this is a typical way of scoring goals on defensive counter-attacks, and Cesena, who has always been known for his defensive counter-attacking play, was hit by the opponent in this game with a defensive counterattack, which is the first time in the world, however, this also proves once again that Palermo, as a team that has been immersed in Serie A for many years, must have his survival skills, but to seize the opportunity, Yu Cesena is not weak.

Palermo began to celebrate wildly after the goal, and at the same moment, the Barbera Stadium was also thunderous with cheers, and the home team's fans did not hesitate to applaud them!

"Whew"

At the moment when Palermo scored a goal, in the Palermo coach's box, the team's head coach Balardini also took a deep breath, and it is not difficult to see that he also has a lot of pressure for this game.

In the new season, the team's management has only one goal for the team's season, that is, to go all out to the first division, and as the team's old coach, Balardini is also under a lot of pressure.

With the production of this goal, Balardini can also breathe a little sigh of relief, and I have to admit that Cesena's strength is really strong.

Compared to Palermo coach Valardini's relief, Cesena coach Giampaolo's look is not so relaxed, and the team is currently lagging behind, which is not a good sign.

"It's okay, everyone cheer up, don't concede outside in the first half, we still have a chance in the second half"

"Guys, hold on, lag behind for the time being, nothing"

"Pay attention to defense, pay attention to movement, cooperate!"

………………

After the game restarted, Cesena coach Gianpaolo seemed to be the busiest person on the entire field, he walked out of the coach's box and kept shouting at the Cesena players on the field!

As a senior coach, Paul Zhan understands that at this time, how necessary his actions are, in the strong dialogue game, in fact, the most test is the hearts of the players on both sides, everyone's strength is similar, the hearts of the players on that side collapse first, then it is not far from a complete collapse, he absolutely does not want such a scene to happen to his disciples.

It's nothing to be a goal behind, or it's not scary, but if the players lose their fighting spirit because of it. That's a problem.

In fact, Giampaolo's worries may be a little superfluous, for the Cesena players on the field, Palermo's goal may have a certain impact on them, but it is not enough to make them completely lose their fighting spirit, after all, they are no longer the Cesena two seasons ago!

What's more, as the captain and absolute core of the team, Chen Long, after scoring in Palermo, has been encouraging his teammates, telling them that they still have a chance, and they will definitely be able to chase it back and overtake.

After the restart of the game, the situation on the field began to change significantly, Cesena passed a few very beautiful passes in succession, and Chen Long also completed the first shot of the game, although it was not scored, but it was also improved!

In the final minutes of regular time and a few minutes of stoppage time, the game was noticeably quickened, and Cesena began a frantic counterattack, among which Djuric's lob from outside the box was the most classic, although it did not score, but it was also due to some bad luck and was confiscated by the post.

"Well done guys, that's all"

Seeing that the attack momentum of his disciples had risen, Gianpaolo on the sidelines was also very excited and shouted, in his opinion, it would be a matter of time before he continued with this momentum and scored goals.

"Toot",

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half~

For Cesena, it was a bit of a pity, as the team went on the offensive at the end of the game, but did not score and still fell behind, but the good news is that the team is completely open, and they are confident that they can do something in the second half.

Aside from that mistake that was seized by Palermo, overall, Cesena played well in the first half, so. At half-time, head coach Jamboro didn't say much, only emphasizing a point. Be sure to concentrate and don't make low-level mistakes.

"Chen, in the second half, you try more long-range shots, those guys in Palermo, they compress the defense too much, buy around the penalty area, we don't have a chance at all, try long-range shots, maybe we can disrupt their defense"

"Rosit, you have to connect the midfield and the back more to drive the overall forward pressure,"

"In a word, in the second half, boys, show your spirit, we continue to play offensive football, we have the advantage of physical strength"

………………

After the break, players from both sides returned to the pitch and the game resumed.

At the beginning of the game, it was clear that a lot had changed compared to the first half. (To be continued.) )
