King of the start, I'm the new king of the Azzurri

Chapter 28 Three Wins in a Row

A defeat cost Sarri some fans.

But for Sarri, he has found a tactic suitable for this team.

Although Tawana's return allows him to have one more option on the front line.

But Li Feng's ability to play the ball with his back made him "thumping", especially when he was starting, the help he could give to the midfielders was big enough.

Tawana's shot selection is relatively mature.

But what can be accumulated through games is mainly the cost of time. What Sarri lacks most at present is the cost of time.

In the next 7 league games, Empoli needs to pay attention to their opponents. Their strength is not weak, and they are all teams that can hit the play-off places, so they need to be extra careful in dealing with them.

In the 36th round of the league, Empoli will face their opponent-Spezia at home.

And their direct competitor Latina will face Palermo, so these two games will be the key games related to whether Empoli can continue to secure second place.

This means that Sarri will be ready to fight. As for whether he will work hard, we really need to see what Sarri thinks?
The game at home soon kicked off with the referee's whistle.

It was Li Feng who made his debut.

After he kicked off, Spezia was very serious about Li Feng's arrangement on defense.

Their defensive positioning made Li Feng frown. He didn't expect that Spezia would "knock to death" when they met directly. According to this situation, it was still a bit tricky for him to tear apart the opponent's defense.

In the 34th minute of the game, Castilla's long pass helped Empoli open up a difficult situation to advance.

Li Feng, who took the lead, knocked Miliore away with heavy shoulders.

This kind of confrontation made Sarri a little speechless. From the start of Li Feng, Sarri noticed that every confrontation, Li Feng has been improving. For young people, this is a growth.

After pushing away the defensive player, Li Feng stopped the ball and dunked. He shook the goalkeeper and pushed lightly. Empoli scored the goal first.

This also means that Empoli took the initiative in the game.

The 1-goal lead brought initiative to Empoli. Under the arrangement of Sarri, the starting lineup at the Empoli Stadium began to shrink. Such behavior made the head coach of Spezia couldn't help complaining, "Old turtle, it's really insidious!"

In the case of Empoli's active defense, Spezia can't get much advantage.

Although they got a lot of possession, their offense was blocked outside the penalty area.

Until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Spezia could only leave aggrieved with a loss.

Similarly, Palermo also used a victory to help Empoli temporarily secure the second position.

The gap of 4 points is a temporary relief for Empoli fans.

In the following 37th round, Empoli won another away game. A 3-1 victory allowed them to continue to expand their lead over No.3.

Li Feng scored twice in this game, which made Sarri pump his fist excitedly.

This game also allowed Li Feng to get a big improvement. It seems that Li Feng has completed a small increase in progress. Although the range is small, for Li Feng, this represents a bright future for him.

With the end of the 37th round of the league, Li Feng's personal data also came to 15 goals and 10 assists in 5 games.

From the point of view of the number of goals scored, Li Feng has entered the top [-] league scorer list, which is satisfactory for a young player who is about to reach his full age.

This also made Sarri want to persuade the other party to stay.

But considering that Li Feng was born in Milan's youth training, the words that Sarri came to his mouth did not come out in the end.

Sarri knows very well what AC Milan represents to young people born in Italy, that is faith.

If he was able to coach AC Milan, he thought he would not refuse, even if AC Milan is still a mess now.

In the 38th round of the league, Empoli fought against Crotone, who came to visit as a guest. This is one of Empoli's most direct competitors. Although the opponent is currently falling behind, there is no guarantee for this match. After the game, will they use Empoli to "sacrifice the flag"?
Embo, who played at home, defeated the opponent with a beautiful victory.

It was another 3-1 scoreline, which was cause for celebration for Empoli, who managed to keep their opponents out of the way.

At the end of the 38th round of the league, the standings of Serie B are already clear!

1. Palermo: 77 points

2. Empoli: 67 points

3. Latina: 61 points

4. Crotone: 58 points

5. Cesena: 56 points

6. Monard: 56 points

7. Barry: 56 points

8. Spezia: 52 points

Excluding the first two teams, the next six teams will fight fiercely.

Especially for the 5th to 8th places, they only have one chance. Once they fail, their one-year hard work will be "in vain". In order to reduce this situation, they need to work hard to win points and strive for a better ranking.

Although the 3rd and 4th places are in a situation of waiting for work, they still need to play at most three games to determine the final place.

Judging from the current situation, Palermo has the best performance in the second half of the Serie B season, followed by Cesena and Monard.

As for Empoli, who performed well in the first half of the schedule, they ruined a good game themselves.

Empoli is currently ranked second in the league, and there is not much difference in the points behind them. If they want to stabilize this spot, it requires the whole club of Empoli to work together. Only in this way can they complete the task of this season steadily .

For Empoli's management, Pedri can still accept the second place in the league until the end of the league.

Thinking of the position at the top of the list, Pedri felt a little bit heartbroken.

Especially after the 22nd round of the league, Empoli began to have frequent problems, which also hit the players' self-confidence.

At present, with a difference of 6 points, Empoli's ranking seems to be stable.

The next few days of training sessions also deepened the tacit understanding between the players.

Considering the player's own strength, under the arrangement of Sarri, Li Feng got more resources, which is worthy of attention for a young man.

For Sarri, the only pity is that Li Feng's ownership is not with Empoli, he is a youth training player of Milan.

If this is a youth training player from Empoli, then Sarri will lean more resources towards him.

It's a pity that Li Feng is not. For the future of the team, Sarri must train more young people for the team, and it is the kind that can be bought out!
