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

Chapter 38: Lightning goal, quick sword
2003 4 Month 3 Day.

"Good evening, fellow football fans. You are watching the second leg of the Italian Cup quarter-finals broadcast by the TV station." Huang Jianxiang appeared on the TV screen. "This match will be held at the Olympic Stadium in Rome."

"There are a full 50,000 spectators here today!"

"Yes, this stadium is the common home of Lazio and Roma."

"Lazio was full of stars today. Although Inzaghi is not as famous as his brother, his ability should not be underestimated."

"Chiesa, despite being 33 years old, can still make an important contribution to Lazio."

"The left wing duo of Cesar and Juan Sorin can both play as left midfielder and left back. Today the former was in front and the latter was behind."

"Diego Simeone made Beckham England's sinner in the 1998 World Cup. His defense and wisdom should never be underestimated."

"As a former Italian goalkeeper, Mazzigiani still maintains a first-class level."

"Stankovic is the only iron-clad main player for Lazio among this group of stars, and Mancini has high hopes for him."

The more Huang Jianxiang spoke, the gloomier he felt.

With this lineup, how can we even play football?

But he suddenly discovered that there seemed to be some unexpected things in Palermo's lineup!
=
Filippo Quagliarella
Brienza, Chiellini, DiDonato, Ribery
Arkadi, Bicari, Vidic, Lucarelli

Sicignano

"Modric and Eduardo didn't start!" Huang Jianxiang's brain capacity was not enough, "DiDonato left the left winger where he played well and returned to the midfield?"

"What exactly is He Tianqi up to?"

beep!

With a whistle, the game officially begins.

Lazio did not rush to start the game, but instead operated slowly.

This is very consistent with the current situation of this group of veterans.

"Pay attention to defense and block this one!" He Tianqi commanded on the sidelines.

As long as they can defend this one, Palermo will use offense to increase the tempo until they can drag down the aging Lazio.

The winning point will be decided in the second half when Modric and Eduardo come on.

"GOAL!"

He Tianqi frowned and looked at the players in blue and white jerseys who were celebrating enthusiastically on the court.

Grass!
"Dejan Stankovic!"

"A beautiful world-class goal!"

"It wasn't a sure chance, so the Palermo defenders let their guard down and Stankovic had the chance to shoot."

He Tianqi looked at the team's goalkeeper Siciliano.

no way.

This is a low level goalkeeper.

This ordinary long-range shot, which is good for high-level goalkeepers, is a fatal blow to low-level goalkeepers.

"One to zero! The total score of the two rounds is 3 to 1. I'm afraid Palermo's counterattack journey has come to an end!" Huang Jianxiang had to become pessimistic.

This goal loss is really demoralizing.

On the court, Ribery looked at He Tianqi, asking whether he should proceed according to the original plan.
He Tianqi nodded.

Soon, Palermo kicked off.

The ball was passed and came to Ribery's feet.

Lazio left midfielder Cesar pounced on Ribery and planned to turn and rush towards Chiellini at any time.

Because just now, Palermo's players were passing the ball back when faced with Lazio players' interceptions.

Obviously, he had lost the courage to attack.

"Ok?"

Cesar was stunned, looking at Ribery rushing past him in disbelief.

This is……

"Ribery dribbled the ball and passed Cesar!" "This player has great speed and dribbling ability!"

Ribery dribbled the ball forward and slowed down slightly after approaching Lazio left-back Juan Sorin.

Just when Juan Sorin thought Ribery had given up, Ribery suddenly passed the ball again, and then dribbled past Juan Sorin again and successfully got to the bottom line!
"So fast!" Many fans were shocked!
"Ribery passed two players in a row, and Lazio's left wing seemed to become his corridor!" Huang Jianxiang was puzzled. "Pacemakers generally don't have much room to play in Italy, but Ribery played very threateningly."

Lazio coach Mancini said it all: "Excellent starting speed!"

Yes!

He Tianqi replaced Ribery's "fast horse" with "quick start".

His absolute speed therefore decreased.

But the impact is not big, because his speed is already fast enough for this group of veterans.

This sacrifice is exchanged for improved startup speed.

And this kind of rapid acceleration is simply a killer move for veterans!

boom!
Ribery made a cross pass.

Quagliarella received the ball and shot from a small angle.

But Mazzigiani was still in good shape and saved the ball.

Filippo held off the opponent's central defender and kicked the ball to the outside.

Because he couldn't make a shot after stopping the ball.

Moreover, He Tianqi deliberately arranged this offensive tactic today, focusing on high-quality long-range shots.

boom!
DiDonato appeared on the edge of the penalty area and shot a powerful shot.

Mazzigiani, who had just stood up, flew to save the ball, but was a step too late.

"GOAL! Palermo was not knocked down!"

"The score is 3 to 2! DiDonato brought the game back to square one. His long shot was of extremely high quality!"

"When Quagliarella pulled out to the right, DiDonato came in to fill that area."

"Of course, the biggest contributor to this goal should be Ribery, his breakthrough was so sharp!"

"But can he maintain this threat when Cesar and Juan Solin get their act together?"

Five minutes later, Ribery gave everyone the answer.

After once again taking Cesar down the right, he cut inside, blocking Cesar's pursuit route and forcing the latter to slow down.

Then he cooperated with DiDonato who ran over on his own initiative and made a wall-running move to the middle lane.

boom!
Simeone returned to defense in time and made a tackle, and Ribery fell to the ground.

"Oh! The referee showed Simeone a yellow card!"

"Ribery fell to the ground and rolled over. I don't know what happened."

"Okay, Ribery is fine. He Tianqi's frown relaxed, but the frown will not disappear, it will only shift. Mancini is frowning now."

"Ribery's threat is too great!"

In the 19th minute, Ribery made another breakthrough on the right.

Although Cesar had turned around and chased in advance, Ribery was still one step ahead.

Quagliarella ran to the right and drew Juan Sorin.

Ribery passed the ball to Quagliarella and cut inside without the ball.

Quagliarella then passed the ball to Ribery.

Ribery entered the penalty area from the right and made continuous dribbling moves, forcing the Lazio central defender to not dare to move forward.

boom!
Ribery volleyed from a small angle.

The football hit the side net, making the Lazio players break out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, everyone looked at Ribery.

How many days was this new Famine Knight kept in the cage?
This vicious dog pounces on its prey so quickly!
