We agreed to play football together, and you will be the head coach?

Chapter 35: Blue Eagle Attacks (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
"Barbara Column": "Eduardo, like Ribery, DiDonato, Vidic and other players, will have the opportunity to play for Serie A teams in the future! Especially Eduardo, Milan fans will definitely like him!"

AC Milan fans also left a message to Eduardo under Barbara's column, "Jiuer, is that you?" to pay tribute to Jiuye Inzaghi.

……

February 18th, the 27th round of Serie C.

Palermo won again 3-1.

In this game, Quagliarella sat on the bench and came on as a substitute in the 67th minute.

Unfortunately, he failed to score a goal.

On the contrary, Eduardo, who started the game, scored goals in consecutive games and was in good form.

February 26th, the 28th round of Serie C.

Eduardo completed the pass and shot, scoring in three consecutive games.

Quagliarella, who came on as a substitute, extended his goal drought to 360 minutes.

The next day, He Tianqi called Quagliarella to his office.

"Fabio, you haven't been in very good shape recently." He Tianqi spoke first.

"Is it possible that my playing time has limited my performance?" Quagliarella asked harshly.

After all, he is just a loan player. If he can't make it, the worst that can happen is that he returns to Turin.

He Tianqi shook his head and threw a data sheet to Quagliarella: "In these games, you have started and been a substitute. You partnered with Eduardo, Filippo and others."

“The results were not good.”

"These are three sets of high-level game data: your past, your recent, and Eduardo's."

"You may not understand it very well, I can help you interpret it."

"To put it simply, Eduardo is better than you in both periods. He is particularly good at shooting in the penalty area and dribbling past the opponent."

Quagliarella frowned, he couldn't refute, but soon he discovered a "mistake".

"What about here? Our offensive running scores are the same, but you modified it and deducted fifteen points from me. Why?" Quagliarella pointed to the data sheet.

He Tianqi said: "Although you often appear in the same position on the court, you were pushed over. He swam over on his own initiative."

"You were driven out of the defensive range by the opposing defensive player."

"And he was trying to infringe on the opponent's defensive range."

"Different properties have different effects. You should be very clear about this."

Quagliarella was silent for a long time. He knew his problems in confrontation.

Finally, he said, "So I am a substitute in your plan?"

He Tianqi spread his hands: "Is there any difference?"

Quagliarella looked down and found that his playing time was actually about the same as that of Filippo, another main center in the team.

He Tianqi: "A true warrior must have the courage to look directly at his or her own shortcomings. Only when people acknowledge their own problems can they solve them."

"Your problem is not that you don't score enough goals. It's that you think it is."

"Your problem is that you avoid confrontation too much."

"You may not like confrontation, but the emergence of Inzaghi gives you hope. But not everyone can be Inzaghi."

"Besides, although Inzaghi's confrontation is not excellent, he is very good at lowering his center of gravity to find confrontation, just like Eduardo does."

"So now, tell me what your strengths and weaknesses are."

Quagliare was poked, his face turned blue and purple, but he finally had to accept the reality and replied: "My advantage is long-range shooting, and my disadvantage is the initiative of confrontation."

He Tianqi nodded: "You know yourself better than most players."

"I told Gattuso that he should focus on defense, but he completely gave up attacking two years later, which made him lose the last ticket of the Italian team in the 1998 World Cup." "I told Pirlo that he should retreat, but he still competed for the attacking midfielder position in Inter Milan until he was exiled to AC Milan."

"You are much luckier than them."

"I will design a tactic to take advantage of your long-range shooting ability."

"As for the initiative of confrontation, it is difficult to change. I may not ask you to actively seek confrontation, but when the other party confronts you, you must fight back!"

In other words, Quagliarella can take the initiative to suppress the bridgehead of the opponent's back line.

But he has to be a good retreating fulcrum forward.

The supporting role on the front line is the correct template for Quagliarella.

That sounds pretty depressing.

But that's the fact, not all players can become the core and the protagonist.

This is also the value of talent.

However, if the supporting forward plays to his best, he can also win the Golden Ball.

So no need to be overly negative.

Getting into his own track earlier and faster is the only way for Quagliarella to surpass his original achievements.

……

After this communication, Quagliarella's condition rebounded.

On March 7th, in the 29th round of Serie C.

Quagliarella, who came on as a substitute, broke his goal drought, completed a pass and shot, helping the team to win all three points.

Only then did people realize that Palermo had won six consecutive league games after losing in the second half of the season!
From sixth in the standings, it soared to third in the standings.

Not only did they return to the promotion zone, they even had the qualifications to challenge for the Serie C championship!
This young commander He Tianqi is something!
For a time, many media outlets cheered for He Tianqi.

Turin Sports Daily: "The Pink Eagles are soaring, and the young coach He Tianqi is as good as the famous coaches!"

Corriere dello Sport: "Live up to the title of Pope of Sicily! Palermo under He Tianqi will soon return to Serie B!"

"The Future": "Lippi made a mistake after all, Juventus lost the young coach! According to insiders, He Tianqi has become a candidate for the coach of the Zebras' youth training team!"

"Who else? Palermo plays offensive football and destroys Serie C, but they just want to lose!"

To be honest, many Palermo fans were very excited by such boasting.

But experienced fans can actually feel that something is wrong.

Because this is a bit like... flattery.

No matter how powerful He Tianqi and Palermo are, they cannot make the media that question them immediately turn their guns against them.

Besides, how long has it been?

It often takes several years for a truly famous coach to win the hearts of the media, and he also needs the blessing of a championship trophy.

Why did these media suddenly change their attitude?

After seeing Palermo's schedule, many people suddenly realized.

Among them was Huang Jianxiang, who was following He Tianqi from far away in the mainland.

"Too bad! The Italian media is trying to trap Xiao He to death! They have simply learned bad things from the media on England's Fleet Street!" Huang Jianxiang complained crazily.

He is preparing commentary materials for the next Italian Cup match.

The two teams facing each other are Palermo and...Lazio!

Yes, Lazio!
