Chapter 143: Lin Dong, go warm up

Although Cesena was founded relatively late compared to other teams in Serie A, there have been many football celebrities in Cesena's history.

In terms of players, Rossi, one of the greatest goalkeepers in Italian history, made his debut with Cesena, while AC Milan vice-captain Ambrosini also came from Cesena.

In terms of head coaches, the coaching career of the former Italian national team coach Sacchi started from Cesena, and like Sacchi, there is also the head coach of the 06 World Cup, and Lippi, known as the "Silver Fox", started in Cesena on the road to Serie A.

Cesena is a small city located on the banks of the Savio River, with an area of just over 200 square kilometers and a population of just over 90,000.

The Cesena Stadium is known as the most "loud" stadium in Serie A, the distance between the stands and the stadium is quite close, such a stadium is relatively rare in Serie A, but the Premier League is generally such a stadium, which can accommodate more than 20,000 people, called Dino Manucci Stadium.

When it came to adapting to the pitch, Lazio's players had a slight discomfort, as Cesena had replaced the pitch's natural grass with artificial grass this season.

As a result of this, Cesena has become the least popular stadium in Serie A this season, after all, artificial and natural turf not only has a huge impact on the game, but also causes damage to the players.

With the field acclimatization and warm-up over, both sides returned to the locker room to prepare for the final game.

Today's starting XI was a slight change from the previous one, with veteran Biava on the bench, Kounko moved to the left, Stankovicius at right wing-back and Dias and Diakite at centre-back.

The midfield is still led by vice-captain Ledesma, with Brockie and Gonzalez in front of him, and Hernanes in front of him, a diamond-shaped midfielder with Klose and veteran captain Rocchi up front.

As for Lin Dong, as in the previous three games, he still sat on the bench, but the people around him changed from the old captain to the little comic Kozak.

Cesena has a lot of fame in the lineup, and the biggest one is Romanian striker Mutu, who is controversial and almost ruined by drugs, but when he appears in this game, he is still the most dangerous player on the pitch.

Another person to watch out for in Cesena is Candreva, although Candreva is not a genius player, but he is a hard player, in the original history, Candreva has entered the giants step by step with his own efforts.

With the referee's whistle, the fourth round officially began, however, this game seemed to be a little different from the previous ones, because in this game, it was not Lazio who scored the first goal.

In the previous two games, Lazio had a good start to the game, but suffered a waterloo in the second half, being tied or even overtaken.

In the ninth minute of the opening minute, Cesena midfielder Colucci made a long pass over the top near the center circle to replace Biahua's Diakite.

Jumping rashly, but did not touch the ball, the ball flew past his header, Mutu seized the opportunity, a lunge, past Diakite, and then stretched out his left foot, controlled the ball, and pumped directly with his right foot.

"Oh oh oh~~~ Cesena scored, Mutu, Lazio's mistake, Diakite, the substitute centre-back gave the opponent a big gift on his first start of the season."

"Stupid, this stupid" On the sidelines, the old handsome jumped to his feet.

On the field, Diakite looked at the ball lying in the goal behind him with a confused expression, and looked at the Cesena players who were crazy and clear.

The Lazio players glanced at Diakite helplessly, of course, they didn't have much to blame, after all, mistakes are inevitable for everyone.

The celebration ended quickly, after all, the game had just begun, and in terms of strength, Lazio's strength was still faintly superior to Cesena.

After the game restarted, it became dull and unusually dull, because the Cesena coach began to give orders to play counter-attacks, and defensively, the Italian coach was quite a good hand.

The Serie A game will not be as passionate as the Premier League, will not play all kinds of wonderful cooperation like La Liga, and will not be as smooth as the Bundesliga, as an ordinary fan, it will definitely feel that the Serie A game is very dull.

But one thing is undeniable, that is, the coach from Italy has a very high level of technical and tactical skills, and it is not an exaggeration to use the number one in the world of football today.

Therefore, in the next time, it will be a big battle of attack and defense in front of the world's eyes, Lazio attacking, Cesena defending, and the two sides come and go, of course, the average person will definitely feel very dull.

On the sidelines, Rhea frowned deeply, because he found that this game should probably not be arranged for Roki to appear, but should be played by Kozak or Lin Dong.

Klose's header ability is excellent, but Klose is not a strong striker, he can only be considered physical, not strong.

Not to mention Roki, who was not the kind of center forward who forced his way into the opposition penalty area and fought hand-to-hand with others, and in the end, in this case, Rea once again set his sights on the bench.

If the first and second times were still looking at the head coach with anticipation, by the fourth time, Lin Dong's heart was quite calm.

Although Lin Dong also saw the situation on the field, maybe Lazio needed a-stirring stick in the front line to disrupt Cesena's defense, but he told Lin Dong several times before that he was not the manager's choice.

However, life is full of accidents, and just as Lin Dong shifted his gaze back to the court, a voice came from his ear that made him a little unbelievable.

"Lin Dong ~~~ to warm up" is in this noisy stadium, but these words are unusually clear.

"Is the coach calling me?" Although Lin Dong heard it very clearly, Lin Dong still couldn't believe it, so he turned to Kozak beside him and asked this comic teammate.

"Go quickly~~~" Kozak rolled his eyes, and then pushed Lin Dong off the bench.

This time, Lin Dong finally determined that the head coach of the team really asked him to warm up, you know, since the beginning of the season, sitting on the bench has come to the fourth game, and Rhea has never called his name.

Back in the game, when his name was called, it was back to the warm-up games before the start of the season, when the two halves were almost all up and down, which was completely different from the official game.

In the stands, Lazio fans saw Lin Dong rushing out of the bench for the first time, and for a while, Lazio fans began to talk about it.

"An unexpected figure, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the first time the Lazio player has come out alone to warm up" In the various street bars of Rome, there are no fans who can only watch the situation in Cesena on TV.
