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

Chapter 42: Northern Expedition! Northern Expedition! (Please share)

The Zagreb Daily reported the news of the Croatian twin stars: "Products from Zagreb must be top quality! Eduardo and Modric came off the bench, passed the ball to each other and shined in Italy!"

After the game, Simeone said in an interview: "The meaning of tactics is that even if your overall strength is weaker, as long as you can use your strongest point to attack the opponent's weakest point, you have a chance of winning."

"He Tianqi's tactics today were very successful. We old guys became his breakthrough point."

"For the sake of the safety of the game, we put in so many veterans, but now it seems that we have fallen into his trap!"

Inzaghi felt the same way: "Some people said before that He Tianqi didn't understand tactics and that winning was just luck. After this game, I just want to say shit to this argument."

"He Tianqi showed me the terrifying power of tactics, which is a power that transcends any single player."

"I am now very interested in the coaching industry. I hope that after I retire, I can become an excellent coach."

Mancini said stubbornly: "Fighting on three fronts is difficult in itself. Now that one competition has ended, it may not be a bad thing for us."

"At least we can deal with the Europa League more calmly."

"That's more important."

In response, He Tianqi just smiled.

Because if nothing unexpected happens, Lazio will be eliminated by Porto soon.

This Porto team is one of the best teams under Mourinho. They are good at both offense and defense. Their defense is terrifyingly strong and their firepower is also terrifyingly strong.

A moment of silence for Lazio in advance!

……

The day after the game, the Palermo Post published a news report saying that Arrigoni was dismissed by Palermo due to long-term disciplinary, financial and other issues.

Zamparini then called He Tianqi and congratulated him on leading the team to achieve the best Italian Cup record in Palermo's history.

Said he wanted to celebrate for the team.

Look, isn’t this boss very sensible?

As soon as He Tianqi achieved some results, they dealt with the people who needed to be dealt with themselves. There was no need for you to target anyone at all.

No blame will fall on He Tianqi.

However, He Tianqi rejected the other party's invitation to celebrate because the team needed to adjust its status in preparation for the next league match.

Zamparini was very sensible and immediately allocated funds to He Tianqi to distribute bonuses to the entire team.

The whole island of Sicily was immersed in the happiness of reaching the semi-finals of the Italian Cup.

They haven't felt this way in a long time.

There are three high-level professional teams in Sicily.

Palermo, Catania, Messina.

All are at Serie B level.

They will also succeed in promotion to the Chinese Super League in the next five years.

But in the end they will be relegated, and will not stop relegating, falling to Serie C or even to the semi-professional league.

Palermo's next league opponent is Catania.

It’s also the Sicily Derby!

However, compared to the next round of the league, people are more concerned about Palermo's journey in the Italian Cup.

When the draw results came out, there was wailing in Sicily.

And the city of Rome was filled with cheers of revenge.

Sicily drew another Serie A powerhouse in Rome - Roma Football Club!

Corriere dello Sport immediately issued a headline to warm up the game: "The Blue Eagles have lost their dignity, the Red Wolves will defend it! In the Italian Cup semi-final, Roma vs. Palermo, it's a good show for you!"

For a time, many fans were looking forward to it.

Although in Serie A, Lazio is ranked higher than Roma.

But in the last round of the Italian Cup, Roma eliminated Inter Milan, the favorite to win the championship!
If we say that Lazio's strength lies in the fact that they have a large number of marginal international players and a strong substitute lineup.

The Red Wolves Roma are strong because they have a large number of well-known international players and are of a higher level.

Wolf King Totti.

God of War Batistuta.

Cafu, captain of the Brazilian national team and once one of the best right backs in the world.

Brazil's national team captain and the world's top defensive midfielder Emerson. Italy's main defender Panucci.

Italian genius bad boy Cassano.

Guardiola, one of the four great defensive midfielders.

Aldair, the god of the underworld.

Rock Samuel and more.

This is definitely a championship lineup, both in terms of strength and honor.

Their poor record this season and lack of stability are mainly due to financial problems.

Short-term events such as cup competitions are less affected by this aspect, so Roma performed better than Lazio in the Italian Cup and is one of the favorites to win the title.

Palermo's luck in drawing such a team can only be said to be comparable to the four most miserable teams in football: Roma's vice-captain, Buffon's substitute, Arsenal and Liverpool.

……

【Ding! 】

[Your team reaches the Italian Cup semi-finals for the first time, and you will receive rewards:]

[Left Wing Attack: Team Card. Strengthens the effect of the team's left wing attack training.]

【Fast Horse: Player-level skill.】

[Basic Tackle: A player-level skill. Proper Tackle can greatly help with steals and reduce the chance of injury. But it will also increase the chance of getting a card.]

This is the second [Fast Horse] obtained by He Tianqi.

Theoretically, he needs eight "fast horses" so that the four main players and four substitutes on the left and right flanks can all take off.

This [fast horse] is played by substitute left midfielder Brianza.

Because the rest of the people don’t have a skill bar for the time being.

[Basic Tackle] was given to Chiellini, a "secondary league level" player who previously only had one skill, [Backer].

In addition, He Tianqi returned DiDonato's [Basic Long Shot] to Eduardo.

Eduardo's [Basic Cross] was given to DiDonato.

April 8th.

The 33rd round of Serie C featured the Sicily Derby, Palermo vs. Catania.

Serie C has also officially entered the final competition for the championship and promotion and relegation qualifications.

Arrigoni, who was fired by Palermo, slammed He Tianqi before the game.

Because He Tianqi made half rotation in this game.

Excluding the injured Ribery.

Main center forward Firpo, main center back Bilica, main midfielder Chiellini and other players took turns to rest.

DiDonato and Eduardo were also substituted early.

In the end, Palermo won the precious three points with Quagliarella's stoppage-time winner.

Guaranteed the team's league ranking.

Arrigoni continued to criticize after the game: "The Sicily Derby is the most important game for Palermo, but He Tianqi took a rest to achieve his goal."

"This is disrespectful to all Palermo people!"

"He insulted our traditions!"

In this regard, He Tianqi said bluntly in an interview with Barbara: "My sights have never been limited to Sicily."

“Perhaps in the eyes of some people, Catania and Messina are his lifelong enemies.”

"But wake up and look at who the media are comparing us to when they discuss us now? Look at the other teams in the Coppa Italia?"

"Lazio! Roma! AC Milan! Juventus!"

“This is our real challenge!”

"In the next three years, we will do only one thing in Italy, that is..."

"Northern Expedition!"
