Chapter 58: Palermo's Penalty Legend

Chapter 58: Palermo's Penalty Legend (Please share)
"Corriere dello Sport": "Palermo tops Serie C, reaching the finals of the league and cup at the same time!"

Gazzetta dello Sport: "DiDonato was the best player of the match and attracted the attention of many top clubs!"

"The Future": "Quagliarera has found his scoring touch, and Torino will most likely not continue to loan him out next season!"

Turin Sports Daily: "As a quasi-Serie A team, it is well deserved to win any honor in Serie C!"

Major media continue to report news from Palermo.

But this is not a good thing.

Perhaps Palermo fans are still immersed in happiness, but some people have already treated them as a supermarket and are waiting for them to open.

In addition, some people attribute Palermo's achievements to their players themselves.

Among them is Juventus coach Lippi.

In an interview, he said: "I know many people think He Tianqi is very magical, but after studying Palermo's lineup, we think the so-called Palermo miracle depends more on the players!"

"Ribery, Vidic, DiDonato, they are fully capable of playing for the big teams."

"Filippo, Lucarelli, Accardi, Bilica, these players are at least at the level of the main players in Serie B."

Lippi's words attracted the attention of other clubs and fans outside Italy.

Because all major European leagues are in the final stages, and some have even decided their champions in advance, making subsequent competitions less attractive.

So everyone has turned their attention to some leagues where the championship competition has not yet ended.

The most dazzling ones are of course Serie A and the Premier League.

In the Premier League, Manchester United is chasing Arsenal. Since losing in the 20th round, the Red Devils have not lost any game again, and the championship race has entered a white-hot stage.

In Serie A, Juventus climbed back to the throne after a period of slump.

They have the opportunity to end the Serie A title race two rounds in advance.

While paying attention to Serie A, people will also take a look at Serie C.

Anyway, it's the last game, and watching it is equivalent to watching the previous 37 games combined. It would be a shame not to watch such a cost-effective game.

Soon, teams from Ligue 1 and Serie A sent out invitations to Ribery, Vidic, DiDonato and others.

……

"Barbara's Interview" then interviewed He Tianqi and asked him about his views on these things.

For this interview, Barbara specially put on a "white silk battle robe".

As a result, He Tianqi paid more attention to the problem than to Barbara: "First of all, I want to thank Mr. Lippi for my players. Lippi has given them more attention."

"Not only Ribery and Vidic, but many players in our team are very good and deserve to perform at a higher level."

"Personally, I will never and have never taken any honor that belongs to the players."

"Interestingly, Lippi's words can also be applied to Juventus."

"Juventus, who have almost all the best players, always fail in the Champions League. I don't think it's the players' fault."

"But Lippi never took responsibility for it."

Barbara asked: "Are you worried about players like Ribery transferring next season?"

He Tianqi said frankly: "To be honest, I have never worried. Because I am a very rare all-round head coach who combines tactics, player training, signings and transactions, and club management."

"Whatever players Palermo loses, I can quickly find replacements. Maybe they won't be better than Ribery and Vidic, but they will at least be enough."

"On the contrary, the players I work with can feel their own improvement, and this rapid improvement is something that other coaches cannot bring to them."

"DiDonato is the most typical example. His current level is completely different from that in the first half of the season."

"Maybe one day, when the players find that they can no longer get more from me, they will choose to leave. I may even take the initiative to let them leave so that they can fly higher."

"But before that, we will definitely stay with each other for a long time." Barbara rolled her eyes and said it so nicely that I almost believed it.

Don't think I don't know that you set sky-high penalty clauses for Ribery, Vidic and others.

Thirty million euros, why don't you go and rob it?

Even a substitute player like Ashley Young costs 20 million euros.

You are really just like Barcelona, crazy about money.

So any kid who stays with you for a few days can become the next Maradona, right?

As for Leo Messi, he has never played for Barcelona's first team and his penalty clause is said to be 30 million Euros.

Who are you bluffing?
(He Tianqi: I’m not kidding! Thirty million euros is enough for me to put my hands in my pockets six times.)
If He Tianqi knew about Barbara's complaints, he would definitely explain to her that the penalty fee was only temporary and that the amount would increase as the players' performance improved.

Barbara: ???

The key player himself also likes this contract.

There is already a trend of comparing penalty clauses within the Palermo team.

The higher the penalty fee, the more the head coach values you, the more important you are to the team, the greater your contribution, and the brighter your future.

Because Palermo has been giving players salary increases recently, and they are all linked to liquidated damages.

For example, this time the salary should have increased by 50,000 Euros, but if you accept the penalty clause, it will increase by 60,000 Euros.

If you were a player, how would you choose?
Ribery's salary quickly increased to the highest salary in the team after he sold himself time and time again.

Vidic and Eduardo came second, Chiellini and Modric came third.

Of course, the salaries of mature players like Filippo and DiDonato are not low, but their salary system has a different logic and there is no penalty fee, which is different from this group of young players.

In short, after He Tianqi took over Palermo, Palermo's salary level has doubled.

All players received more money.

This is also one of the reasons why everyone is willing to follow his command.

After the interview, Barbara tried to invite He Tianqi to dinner.

But He Tianqi refused, saying that he liked Hi Si, bah... He also said that he still needed to check on the players' extra training.

After this report came out, Lippi was very angry.

Because this was the reason why he was fired by Juventus last time.

Don't hit someone in the face. He Tianqi has gone too far!

The media enjoys seeing them bickering with each other.

……

There is a reason for the battle between He Tianqi and Lippi.

On the one hand, it stems from the previous grudges between the two.
