Chapter 156: Chesena without Long Chen
During the period when Chen Long was recovering from his injury, the Serie B field was still in full swing, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's Christmas 2020, the winter break of Serie B.
In the 14 league games that ended before the winter break of this season, it was clearly not a good situation for Cesena, who won seven of the 14 league games, drew two and lost the rest.
And if you take a closer look at the games that Cesena lost, then you will find that four of the five games that Cesena lost were directly or indirectly to rivals who did not have much difference in strength.
This also clearly reflects that although Cesena is strong on paper, in fact, there are still very big problems in the team's run-in, which leads to the team's actual combat effectiveness is not as strong as imagined.
There is no doubt that Cesena is now being crowned with the title of "bully".
Italy's "Roma Sport" once commented: At the beginning of the new season, Cesena, who was aiming to win the championship, was in trouble, and there were big problems with their lineup, if they couldn't make changes during this winter break, the end of the season, let alone the champion of Serie B, whether they could enter the top five is a big problem, you know, from this season or even to the end of next season, they can't welcome back the core Chen Long, for Cesena, Chen Long's absence is even worse.
Cesena certainly won't sit still, and as soon as the transfer market opened during the winter break, they sent away veteran Marcelo, who was also suspended from the team.
Think about what a scene it was when Marcelo joined Cesena, wearing the hat of a former world-class star, joining Cesena, but I didn't expect that only half of the season was "swept away" by the team.
For Cesena to send Marcelo away, this transfer operation has also caused heated discussions in the outside world.
Some media or fans think that Cesena is somewhat unkind to do this, and it may be a bit cruel to treat a veteran like this, at least he should wait until the season is completely over, and then it is not too late to send him away.
Some think that this is normal, after all, in today's football, some only have the so-called "interests", and in front of interests, everything is not worth mentioning. Moreover, for Cesena, sending away Marcelo does not have much impact on the strength of the team, and the rising star Lukini continues to perform well this season, and he is fully capable of leading Cesena's backline in the absence of Marcello. In addition, sending Marcelo away can add unity within the team.
In fact, before Cesena decided to send Marcelo away, he had communicated with him, or valued Marcelo's aura of "once a world-class star" and wanted him to stay, but Marselot's attitude was very resolute, he must leave, and even found a home, so that Cesena could not do anything more.
There are different opinions on Cesena sending Marcelo away, but there is no doubt about one thing, Marcelo's departure is at least a wake-up call for the Cesena players to be serious in their attitude, which is also conducive to the next game of the league.
Micic is still in the ban, but his attitude is relatively better, in the usual training, the performance is also very positive, if possible, after the winter break, the head coach Gianpaolo may reactivate him, after all, Micic's ability is still there, with Micic's return to the field, for Cesena, there will definitely be an improvement in strength.
With Marcelo gone, it stands to reason that another player should be brought in to replace Luquini or strengthen other positions at the back, but Cesena does not seem to need to do so, and their backline is becoming more and more solid.
Sean, who was promoted from the reserve team, was a big surprise to Janpaul, his progress was very block, and the help for Cesena was getting bigger and bigger, and Jen Paul believed that Sean's existence did not require him to worry about recruitment.
In addition to Cesena's record in the league is not very good, in the Italian Cup, Cesena was also out early, in the second round of the Italian Cup, Cesena was eliminated by Como of the same Serie B team with an aggregate score of 4:5.
Although, at the beginning of the season, the consensus between the management and the manager of the cup game was to give up, but this should never be the way to give up.
Exiting the cup too early is unacceptable for Cesena, but it has the advantage that at least once the new season starts, Cesena can ******** focus on the league.
It seems that the strength of the Cesena squad has improved this winter break, but it may seem almost impossible to achieve the goal of winning the title at the beginning of the season.
Because, in the current standings, Cesena is already ranked fourth, 6 points behind the leader Pescara, it stands to reason that 6 points behind, it is not without hope of overtaking, however, without the absolute core, Chen Long, Cesena's attack has always been difficult to open the situation.
It seems impossible to rely on solid defense to win the final championship.
"Kicker": After the winter break, there may be some rebound in the results of the Chesena, but it is also temporary, in the absence of Chen Long, it seems that it is difficult for Gianpaolo's defensive counterattack to be well executed, because neither Djuric nor Rodriguez has the speed of Chen Long!
"The Song of Cesena": In the few games that Chen Long missed, the "Double Dragon Combination" that had dominated the Serie B before, Zou Zhaolong had a very good organization and feeding ability, but Cesena seemed to have no one to eat this ball.
………………
All in all, Chen Long's injury has a great impact on Cesena.
Now whether it is the fans of Cesena, the players of Cesena, or the head coach Gianpaolo, they are all missing Chen Long and hope that he can return to the field as soon as possible.
However, for Cesena, if you want to wait for Chen Long's comeback, maybe it is still far away, at least this season, it is simply impossible.
Chen Long has also been paying attention to Cesena, and he is also very anxious about the team's successive defeats, but he can only be anxious, and there is nothing he can do.
Sometimes, Chen Long himself is a little self-deprecating, calculating the time, he has joined Cesena for almost a year, but it seems that the next year, he can only spend the next year off the court. (To be continued.) )
