He had broken Chievo's attack routine twice in a row.
Xu Feng was the executor of the last attack on Chievo.
He keenly sensed that something was wrong.
However, the experienced manager, Deckray, was already certain.
Palermo's adjusted defensive tactics were beginning to work!
One before, one after.
Two consecutive early position snatches destroyed Chiavo's crosses.
It was because Palermo had already discovered that as long as Xu Feng was not allowed to touch the ball near the penalty area.
He would be able to resolve Xu Feng's threat to the greatest extent!
Under normal circumstances, the middle area of the penalty area was where the defenders gathered.
Regardless of whether it was the front or the back.
There would be fewer people.
This was because they generally thought that this position was the place where the ball would hit the goal.
First, they would be blocked by the defenders.
Secondly, the angle of the shot would be very limited.
It could be said that it was the position that posed the least threat to the goal in the entire penalty area.
However, after studying the recordings of Xu Feng's previous matches, he was able to find out more.
Xu Feng repeatedly hit the front and back areas, scoring all kinds of incredible immortal balls.
It seemed that as long as he got the ball in the penalty area, he was omnipotent.
After looking at Xu Feng's statistics.
Palermo's coaching staff was also very surprised.
The conversion rate of Xu Feng's shots in the penalty area had actually reached an incredible 100%!
Let's not talk about how this player did it so miraculously.
Palermo's coaching staff could come to a conclusion.
That was, as long as Xu Feng was not allowed to touch the ball in the penalty area.
Then Xu Feng's threat level would be greatly reduced!
At present, Chievo's offense revolved around Xu Feng.
Especially the pass to Xu Feng in the penalty area, it was also a necessary attempt for Chiavo's offense!
Sealing off the small restricted area was sealing off Xu Feng!
If they locked Xu Feng down, then Chievo's attack would be completely silenced!
With this goal in mind, Palermo made targeted defensive tactics.
Palermo's defensive tactics.
It was the human wave tactic in the small penalty area!
To be exact, it was a human wave tactic against Xu Feng's small restricted area.
This was also the reason why the two flanks of Chiavo were able to pass the ball smoothly.
At that time, Palermo's full-backs barely restricted the passes.
Because they were already prepared to gather in the small restricted area.
The reason was that Xu Feng was already near the restricted area!
Apart from the two strikers Miccoli and his deputy Makarone, who were left in the front field.
One person was left at the top of the penalty area to protect him and prevent long shots.
The other seven people actually gathered near the small restricted area!
The front and back points where the ball was easiest to get had defenders.
In the middle of the penalty area, there were four or five people fighting for the top.
Even though Xu Feng's physical resistance was extraordinary.
However, under the interference of this human flesh tactic.
It was very difficult to get the ball's landing point.
Palermo used this tactic.
Although it was very effective in terms of defense.
However, generally speaking, attacking would be a big problem.
Because when defending, everyone was stuck in the penalty area.
There were only two forwards in the front field.
There was too little support for the front line during the transition between attack and defense.
However, this was a problem that only other teams would encounter.
Palermo was different.
That was because they had Miccoli on their forward line.
In the past few years, Miccoli had a career in many big clubs.
However, none of them could stand firm.
It was just that his style of playing was too unique.
He liked dribbling.
In a powerhouse club, he had very limited control over the ball and was unable to play to his full potential.
But Palermo was different.
The team's offensive line revolved around him.
Not only did he have more rights to dribble, but he also had unlimited firing rights.
This was also the reason why he was able to rank third in the league's top scorer list with 18 goals last season.
Palermo was currently using this tactic.
It perfectly blended with Miccoli's style.
Miccoli liked to dribble, and Palermo could not provide more players to support him when they attacked.
At this time, Palermo needed Miccoli to go it alone after getting the ball.
Miccoli, who was good at dribbling, was also like a fish in water under this kind of attack.
Deckray stared blankly at the field.
Chievo's attack was once again defeated in the penalty area.
The area near the penalty area was filled with opposing defenders.
Xu Feng had almost no chance of touching the ball!
This time, Kessai did not choose to pass directly.
And he chose to cut inwards.
However, as they got closer to the goal.
The opposing team's defenders became denser and denser.
Kesai had no choice but to try his luck and shoot.
As expected, the ball was blocked by the defenders.
Palermo won the ball.
The midfielder, Pastore, found the striker, Makarone, with a long pass.
Makarone returned the header and headed the ball to Miccoli, who was not far away.
Miccoli got the ball and once again showed his advantage of agility and speed.
Through the change in the dribbling rhythm, he successfully shook off the Chiavo midfield defenders.
César, the center back, was focused.
While he returned to defend, he kept a close eye on Miccoli's dribbling route.
In this game, Miccoli had a very big impact on Chiavo's defense.
César was tall and he was not afraid of physical confrontation.
However, facing a small and agile player like Miccoli, he would be able to defeat the opponent.
His high center of gravity became his biggest disadvantage.
Cesar bent down and lowered his center of gravity.
He stared at Miccoli's feet.
They were now near the penalty area.
He had already entered Miccoli's shooting range.
Miccoli accelerated to the left.
César turned his body sideways to block his advance.
Who knew that Miccoli's move was just a feint.
He pushed the ball back to his right foot with his left foot.
At this moment, there was space for him to shoot to his right.
Miccoli raised his right foot and prepared to exert force.
César had already taken the bait.
He saw Miccoli sway out of the gap and prepare to shoot.
Cesar gritted his teeth and tried his best to keep up with the blockade.
However, what he did not expect was…
Miccoli's shot turned out to be a feint!
Miccoli made a fake shot with his right foot.
After dunking César, he immediately shot with his left foot!
Miccoli was too flexible.
César knew that he could not let Miccoli shoot from such a close distance.
Just now, Miccoli had a shot that hit the post from this position.
"Bang!"
The moment the ball went out.
Miccoli was surprised to find that César had extended his left leg to the limit to block!
At this moment, Cesar's body was already twisted to the limit.
In order to block Miccoli's shot, he really went all out!
"Beep!"
The referee blew the whistle.
The ball was blocked out of the end line by César.
"Beautiful blockade! Cesar!"
The goalkeeper, Sorrentino, shouted.
However, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Cesar lay on the ground with a painful expression and did not get up for a long time.

Sorry, I just came back from working overtime. I'll eat some steamed buns and porridge to adjust myself. I'll try my best to write two or three more chapters at night!
