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

Chapter 39: Success is due to a quick sword, and failure is also due to a quick sword (asking for monthly tickets)

Twenty-fourth minute.

It was Ribery again with the ball on the right.

Cesar retreated repeatedly, creating distance to avoid being overtaken in one step.

However, Ribery pushed the ball directly to the left and easily started the inside cut mode, and Cesar could only fail to catch up with him.

Simeone stood in the defensive midfielder position and stared at Ribery.

But at this time, Quagliarella and DiDonato appeared near Simeone, providing Ribery with two passing routes.

Ribery looked at DiDonato and raised his right foot, seemingly preparing to pass the ball.

But the moment he landed, his right foot changed from swinging to stabbing, pretending to make a straight forward breakthrough!

Simeone was not completely stunned, but even after being distracted for just a moment, he could not keep up with Ribery.

This French knife is so fast!

Considering that he still had a yellow card, Simeone controlled the urge to pull Ribery down.

DiDonato and Quagliarella, who had just been supporting Ribery, also immediately changed their routes.

The former advanced to the left, and the latter advanced deep into the right ribs.

Lazio's defense was torn apart a bit as a result.

Including the big center Filippo, who was also carrying his opponent to the left.

It looks like he's not preparing to take the ball, but rather... clearing obstacles!

boom!
Ribery made a long shot from the right side outside the penalty area.

Although there was a distance between him and Lazio goalkeeper Mazzigiani, there was nothing blocking them.

boom!
when!
Mazzigiani pounced on the ball.

But Ribery's kick was of too high quality, the ball slipped out of his hand, bounced off the post and flew into the goal.

"GOAL!"

"A world-class goal! Another world-class goal!"

"All three goals scored in this game were scored from long range!"

"Ribery's brilliance can no longer be hidden! Another beautiful pass past two players!"

"The total score is 3-3! Palermo actually equalized the score! And both sides have two away goals."

“This is truly a return to the same starting line!”

"Lazio is in trouble!"

"They must limit Ribery's performance!"

On the Lazio bench, the assistant coach is asking Mancini if ​​he wants to make any adjustments?

For example, let the faster and younger Stankovic play as left midfielder to target Ribery.

At the same time, replace a defensive midfielder?
Mancini shook his head.

On the one hand, he wants Stankovic to play as the core of the frontcourt attack. This is one of the meanings of this game. Lazio needs to find a new midfield core.

On the other hand, he believes that Palermo's offensive does not need to be targeted.

People only saw Ribery's sharp breakthrough, but did not see how many moves DiDonato and Quagliarella made to help him pull.

There must be problems with the physical fitness of these two players.

By then, Ribery will be unable to carry the team alone and the offensive will naturally slow down.

"Keep an eye on our respective players and cut off Ribery's connection with his teammates!" Mancini continued to implement his established tactics.

In the 36th minute, Mancini's tactics worked.

The ball passed by Ribery to DiDonato was intercepted by Simeone.

Simeone passed the ball diagonally to Cesar.

Cesar, who was beaten by Ribery on the defensive end, is a former Brazilian international. His offensive dribbling was naturally very good, and he directly shook off Chiellini who was rushing towards him.

Cesar then passed the ball to Inzaghi in the middle of the field.

After Inzaghi pulled Vidic out, he made a horizontal pass and Chiesa easily pushed the ball into the goal.

"Four to three! Lazio regained the lead!"

"Palermo's defense was like paper, and Lazio only needed three passes to penetrate the pink eagle."

"Lazio's national team lineup will not be afraid even if it plays against other strong Serie A teams!"

Similarly, Palermo still firmly implemented He Tianqi's tactics. Ribery dribbled the ball and rushed forward.

Others kept running around Ribery to provide passing points and prevent Ribery from being strangled.

The final result was that Ribery didn't run many meters with the football, but Quagliarella, DiDonato and Lucarelli in front and behind him kept moving in a small range, and the number of steps directly ranked among the top three in the circle of friends.

The three of them were sweating profusely.

Of course, Lazio's players on the left also had to run a lot more because they had to constantly block their passing routes.

In the 41st minute, DiDonato passed the ball to Ribery, who accelerated and slowed down on the right to attack Juan Sorin.

boom!
Ribery saw the right moment and accelerated the ball.

Juan Solin knew he was going to be dribbled past again, so he immediately made a tackle.

Ribery rolled out of the sideline.

"Oh! Juan Solin's move was aimed at someone. Even though he retracted his foot, he will definitely get a card."

"Yellow card!"

"He Tianqi was very emotional on the sidelines, he thought it was a red card!"

"The fourth official is communicating with He Tianqi."

"The referee came over and warned He Tianqi."

Then, DiDonato took a free kick.

Vidic heads the ball into the goal.

The football bounced out of the baseline, but Palermo players rushed to the referee immediately.

He Tianqi also slapped his arms on the sidelines: "Handball! Handball!"

Lazio fans were horrified.

"Di!"

The referee pointed to the penalty spot.

"The referee awarded a penalty! There is no problem with this penalty, Vidic's header hit Stankovic's hand."

“Offensive players don’t make a habit of using their backs in their own penalty area.”

"Lazio players surrounded the referee, but the referee said he saw it clearly."

"For Palermo, Ribery went to the penalty spot. He is the team's first penalty taker and has scored a penalty before."

"He is also the absolute offensive core of Palermo in this game."

"If they score, Palermo will overtake Lazio."

Ten seconds later, the scene broke out into carnival.

"Oh! Ribery's penalty kick missed!"

"He was so nervous! He was booed by the Lazio fans and the ball flew into the stands!"

"Ribery is both his success and failure. Too many breakthroughs and being kicked directly affected Ribery's shooting feel!"

"Palermo missed the best chance to overtake, which may also be their only chance to overtake!"

"Ribery's missed penalty was fatal! He kicked away Palermo and his own good luck!"

In an instant, Ribery, who was the highlight of the game, became the sinner of Palermo.

An atmosphere of sadness hung over the team.

"It doesn't matter, don't think about other things, just defend! Defense this one! You must defense it for me!" He Tianqi reminded the players.

Finally, the first half ended.

The total score between the two sides is still 4 to 3, with Lazio leading.

When walking into the player tunnel, He Tianqi grabbed Ribery who was blaming himself and said, "Relax, the penalty was just an accident."

"It wasn't the penalty kick that helped us keep the score close, but your breakthrough and long shot!"

“At the beginning of the second half, don’t dribble past the defense first, look for DiDonato and the others, and let them go for it.”

"When the time is right, I will replace Modric and others, and that's when we will win the game!"

He Tianqi looked into Ribery's eyes and said, "Compared to penalty kicks, we have a more shocking way to kill the game! Believe me!"

Ribery saw the light in He Tianqi's eyes and nodded repeatedly: "Well, we will kill the game, we will!"
