He was scored first by the opponent at home.
Moreover, the other party was still adopting a defensive strategy.
Deckray was vexed and felt that something was wrong.
Catania was already in the lead.
Then, they would be even more at ease.
They only needed to defend and continue to stick to this tactic.
It was enough to maintain the score of 1:0 until the end.
Deckray's worries were not unnecessary.
In the next few minutes.
Catania slowed down again.
He took the initiative to defend and was not in a hurry to attack.
Chievo once again fell into the position of attacking the iron bucket formation.
If they continued at this pace.
Chievo would be dragged to death by Catania like a frog in warm water.
Decare signaled the referee to make a substitution.
He replaced a fullback and a defensive midfielder.
He was replaced with an offensive midfielder and winger.
They intended to strengthen the offense in the middle and tear the flanks apart to create space.
The center back that was replaced was César.
Actually, the goal concede just now.
César was one against two, so he did not have much responsibility.
Decare patted César on the shoulder.
The signal to replace him was only for tactical adjustments.
It was not because of his personal performance.
Xu Feng nodded at Cesar and handed him the bottle.
"You defended well just now, but your luck was bad.”
Cesar took a big gulp from the bottle and shook his head."
"Catania, these bastards, they're playing turtle defense in the first game of the season. The whole team is a turtle!”
"The manager is still a little conservative. You should be replaced. Three strikers to attack Catania's defense!”
Cesar said.
Xu Feng smiled and did not mind.
"We can see that the manager, De Kray, is going to be replaced.”
"Does Xu Feng have any hope of playing?”
"Oh, no. The manager brought on a midfielder and a winger.”
He Wei saw on the broadcast that De Kray had brought on two players.
He thought that Xu Feng had a chance.
In the end, he realized that the player he brought on did not have a striker.
He immediately felt regretful.
The fans watching the live broadcast also complained.
"This coach is too conservative! Forward!"
"There are only twenty minutes left.”
"The other party has already set up a bus. If you're still hesitating, this match will be over!”
"There's only one substitution left. If it's any later, even if Xu Feng is replaced, there won't be any time left in the match!”
Deckray's expression was still grim.
Catania's counterattack was very sharp.
He did not dare to take the risk of sending more offensive personnel.
It had been 70 minutes.
He calculated in his heart that if the situation on the field was still unclear.
He was going to use the last substitution spot.
75 minutes had passed.
The effect of the two players he brought on was not satisfactory.
Catania's defense was like a swamp.
All the members of Chievo who participated in the attack were trapped in this swamp and couldn't use their skills.
If this continued, the match would be dragged out to death.
"Xu, get up and warm up!"
Deckray shouted at Xu Feng.
Xu Feng was ready at all times. He stood up and began to move his body. He slowly ran back and forth to warm up his body.
"We can see that Xu Feng, this young man from our Dragon Country, has already started warming up on the sidelines!”
"Manager, are we going to use his third substitution?”
"Xu Feng, it looks like he's about to make his debut in the league!”
The fans were also super excited and flooded the live broadcast room.
"The first match of the league tournament is to complete the first show.”
"Support Xu Feng! I hope he can save us!"
"You should have changed long ago. If you delay any longer, there won't be much time left!”
Deckray had already greeted the referee.
The next dead ball would require a substitution.
Suddenly, a whistle sounded.
They saw Chiavo's center back, Andreoli, clutching his calf as he fell to the ground in pain.
It turned out that when he was fighting for the ball with the opposing striker, Maxi Lopes.
The two of them started to fight.
Unfortunately, Andreoli's calf was kicked.
Looking at Andreoli's pained expression, Deckray had an ominous feeling in his heart.
He quickly called the team doctor to check on the situation.
The team doctor sprayed cold mist on Andreoli's injured area.
The latter stood up and took two steps, but the pain still made him limp.
The team doctor asked Andreoli a few questions, then shook his head at Decre and made a gesture.
Deckray cursed.
"Hals, get ready to go on stage!"
Deckray shouted.
The substitute center back, Hals, did not have time to warm up. He took off his coat and walked to the sidelines.
He watched as Andreoli limped off the stage.
His teammates were very worried.
"Xu, take a rest first."
Deckray gave Xu Feng an apologetic look.
"There's a sudden situation on the field.”
The commentator, He Wei, said.
"Chiello's center back Andreoli is suddenly injured and seems unable to persist.”
"The head coach, De Kray, can only make a substitution.”
"After all, César has just been replaced.”
"The team must have at least one center back on the field to protect the rear defense.”
"The manager seems to be very upset."
"In this case, all three substitution slots have been used. Xu Feng's Serie A debut will not be seen today.”
The fans were also very regretful at this time.
"F * ck, Xu Feng's luck is too bad! He had already warmed up, but in the end, his teammate was injured and had to be replaced by someone else!？”
"The manager probably can't do anything about it. He replaced a center back and injured another center back. If he doesn't replace him with a full back, the rear defense will be completely abandoned!”
"It's over this time. I feel like Chievo is going to be gone!”
"Sigh! Xu Feng is really too unlucky!"
