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

Chapter 37: Sharpening the Knife, Lazio (Please forward it to Qiuqiu and MSI!)

The remaining players have no skills for the time being.

Quagliarella is the only player among the Apocalypse Knights who has no skills.

(Quagliarera: I did, but you took away my skills for the second time!)

It’s not that He Tianqi was targeting Quagliarella, Eduardo’s long-range shot was also taken away.

Gave them to Ribery and DiDonato respectively.

This is related to He Tianqi's tactics.

This was also the result he came to after carefully analyzing the entire Lazio player list.

Whether we can beat Lazio depends on Ribery!
Although He Tianqi is not Mancini himself, Lazio's lineup for the second leg is not difficult to predict.

Generally speaking, it is definitely the old who take care of the young.

And the more importance they attach to it, the more veterans they will send out, and the stronger their strength will be.

The more veterans Lazio has, the weaker their athletic ability, especially their defensive ability, will be.

The more Ribery has the chance to break through Lazio's left side.

By destroying Lazio's left wing, Palermo's overall attack was revitalized, making it easier to score goals and increasing the chances of a comeback.

Therefore, according to the football emperor's inequality, we can conclude that: the stronger Lazio is, the easier it is for Palermo to win!

……

When the Italian media attacked He Tianqi, Arrigoni's name appeared in the newspapers again.

Some media believe that a steady coach like Arrigoni is the best choice for Palermo.

Most of the articles in these media come from fan submissions.

Gazzetta dello Sport also received it, but did not publish it.

Barbara then looked up the location of the enthusiastic email address and eventually discovered that it was Arrigoni's personal email address.

She told He Tianqi the news.

It seems that even after leaving the first team, Arrigoni is still obsessed with He Tianqi's position.

March 14th, the 30th round of Serie C.

Thanks to Chiellini's outstanding performance, the demoralized Palermo defeated their opponent 2-0.

March 23rd, the 31st round of Serie C.

Palermo won 4-2.

Their morale was restored.

This two-game winning streak also allowed Palermo to move one step further up the standings, becoming second in Serie C.

Keeping pace with them is Turis who has Arturo.

Avellino is at the top of the standings.

The points gap between the three teams is within three points.

Just when everyone thought that He Tianqi would make a concerted effort to win the championship in the league.

He Tianqi's lineup in the Serie C match on March 30th was incredible.

He rested key players including Ribery, Filippo and DiDonato.

Accumulate strength for the Italian Cup.

The Courier commented that He Tianqi is "a complete gambler" and "does not value the team's league record"!
But He Tianqi remained unmoved.

After the team took a one-to-zero lead, Eduardo and Modric were replaced.

In the end, Palermo got their comeuppance and their opponents equalized the score.

As a result, Palermo was overtaken by Turis and fell back to third in the league.

Arrigoni then severely criticized He Tianqi in the Palermo Corriere: "He shouldn't treat the league as a joke. He doesn't know what the consequences will be if the team fails to advance."

"We have many excellent players, which is our most valuable thing after falling from Serie B." (It means that the victory is not the credit of He Tianqi)
"But if we don't get promoted this season, these players will leave."

“At that time, it will be too late.”

"As for the Italian Cup, it is only He Tianqi's personal honor. We have all been deceived by He Tianqi! He has never cared about the life and death of Palermo! Because he has Juventus blood in his bones!"

"Everything he did was to get back to Juventus!"

"Traitor! He Tianqi is not the Pope of Sicily, he is Judas of Palermo!" Arrigoni said with certainty.

Incited many Palermo fans.

In response to this, He Tianqi gave his own response in "Barbara's Column".

Barbara: "Many people are worried that Palermo will not be promoted to Serie B this season. What do you think?"

He Tianqi: "Why should we worry? Apart from us, the rest of the teams in the Italian Cup are from Serie A and Serie B. Isn't this enough to show our strength?"

"We are still in the upgrade zone, there is no need to be overly pessimistic."

"Instead, we can try to go further in the Coppa Italia."

"This is a very valuable experience for our players. It will help us achieve good results in Serie B next season."

"Our ultimate goal is to reach Serie A. Everything I do is for this goal."

"Those who are only immersed in Serie C certainly can't understand it."

Barbara: "So you will go all-in against Lazio? Aren't you worried that losing will dampen the morale of the team, especially the young players like Ribery, Modric, Eduardo, Chiellini, etc."

He Tianqi smiled and said: "To be honest, I was worried. But in comparison, I was more worried that they would become complacent because of defeating Lazio."

Barbara: "Beat Lazio? Are you serious?"

He Tianqi: "Of course, I have considerable confidence in this matter."

Barbara: "Why? You lost the last game!"

He Tianqi: "The Italian Cup is the highest honor we can achieve at the moment. And it also happens to be the least worth mentioning of the three awards Lazio can currently compete for."

"Our determination is different. As long as Lazio is careless, we have a chance to turn the tables!"

Barbara praised: "You have an ambitious mind."

After this news leaked, Lippi added at the end: "But he has no brains."

Lippi: "It is right to set higher goals for the team, but it is also stupid to irritate the opponent."

"Even if you really want to fight with Lazio, you should keep it to yourself and not say it out loud."

"Lazio will not allow themselves to be beaten by a Serie C team."

"Even if they are fighting on multiple fronts, it will not be easy to put together a full-strength main team. But there will not be too much pressure to have a half-main lineup."

Lippi is right.

Because Lazio currently has a lot of rotation players in the team.

They may have six or seven truly solid main forces.

But they have more than a dozen strong substitutes.

So it will be difficult for Lazio to win any championship this season, but they are extremely competitive in all competitions.

In the end, Mancini's pre-match starting lineup confirmed the wisdom of the Silver Fox Lippi.

Inzaghi Jr., Chiesa Sr., Stankovic, Diego Simeone, Juan Sorin, Brazilian Cesar, Mazzigiani.

A string of glittering names have excited the Italian Cup broadcasters.

These players are all famous players. They have all played for their respective national teams and have very strong technical and tactical abilities.

Although it is not Lazio's strongest lineup, it is still 80% strong.

Even against Serie A teams, they are still not at a disadvantage.

What’s more, it’s just a Serie C team?

People ridiculed He Tianqi for this, saying that he didn't know what a wealthy family background was, and that he stole the chicken from the Eagle! This brought disaster to the anti-fan army!

Little did he know that He Tianqi, who was looking at the other party's list, was also laughing.

It worked!
Blue Eagle took the bait!

This list may look impressive at first glance, but a closer look reveals that except for Stankovic who is at his peak, the rest are all elderly players.

The words "old and slow" are written on almost every face.

and so……

After ten years of hard work, France now has its own supercar.

Scarface Ribery, kills Lazio with sword!
