Chapter 60: Italian Cup Final, Another Lightning Goal (Please Read)
Contrary to Lippi or the current mainstream thinking, He Tianqi believes that set-piece tactics are very important.

This is a low investment, high return thing.

Generally speaking, most players will compete for position with the opponent when their teammates take a set piece.

It's a 50-50 chance.

But in fact, it is easier to destroy the ball than to score it, so the odds are 30:70, and the party that kicks off has only a 30% advantage.

As the party that kicks off, they should have the advantage of "foresight", so the advantage is 40%.

However, the running position designed by He Tianqi requires multiple players to run in a staggered manner at the same time.

Filippo ran after Eduardo, Hua ran after Vidic, Vidic ran after Filippo and then ran again, constantly creating opportunities for their teammates.

Even if one of them gets stuck, it doesn't matter, the other two or three people can still coordinate with each other.

In this way, the team that kicks off may have a 60% to 70% advantage in this attack.

This kind of "redundant design" is rare in today's football.

Including basketball.

This is especially true in rugby.

But in the future, this will become the norm in football.

After a morning of training, Modric was exhausted. He sat next to He Tianqi and complained, "Boss, does this design really make sense?"

He Tianqi: "In the long run, it doesn't make much sense. But at this stage, it's a dimensionality reduction attack!"

The running tactic is an open-book exam, which is exam-oriented education.

The earlier you run, the greater the information gap and the greater the advantage.

Once everyone starts running away and the market enters the involution mode, the benefits will be very small.

This is how the NBA has transformed from a series of wonderful individual performances to an endless team race.

This is the limitation of tactics.

However, even so, set pieces are always a powerful scoring weapon for each country during every World Cup.

It is the biggest magic weapon for weak teams to cause an upset.

……

2003·5·20.

Rome Olympic Stadium.

Palermo has come to this magical place for the third time this season.

Because this is the designated venue for the Italian Cup final.

Fans of the Black and Pink Army came here with great enthusiasm, and the unknown Pink Chicken transformed into the Pink Eagle that attracted much attention in Europe.

But soon, the pink waves disappeared.

Because of the huge number of Juventus fans, this distinctive red and blue team was dyed into ink painting.

"Hello everyone, this is the broadcast station." Huang Jianxiang was particularly excited in the director's room, "We can see that the distribution of fans today is a little special."

"Sixty percent of the fans in the stadium wore black and white jerseys, which also reflects Juventus' influence in Italy."

"Only 20% of Palermo's fans are here. Although they have a chance to win the first top honor in the team's history in today's game, there are only so many fans who can travel with the team."

"But there are still 10% blue Lazio fans and 10% red Roma fans in the stadium, which is quite rare."

"They were eliminated by Palermo one after another, but you would never have thought that they supported Palermo in this game!"

This phenomenon is actually very typical.

After a strong team is upset by a dark horse, the fans of the strong team will often pay attention to the weak team and even support it.

Because the competitors of strong teams are other strong teams, not weak teams.

What's more, the cities of Rome and Turin have a long-standing feud over the dominance of Serie A and are in a relationship of mutual replacement.

The main focus is on reincarnation!
"On the Juventus side, Lippi still made rotations."

"Forwards Salas and Di Vaio."

"In midfield Ruben Oliveira, Fresi, Conte, Zenoni."

"Defenders Pessotto, Ferrara, Juliano, Thuram." "Goalkeeper Chimenti."

"On the bench, there are key players such as Trezeguet, Wild Boar Davis, and Bilindli."

"But key players such as Nedved, Piero, Buffon, Camoranesi, Zambrotta and Tacchinardi were not included in the squad."

"It seems that Lippi's thinking is still very clear. He put out a main defensive line and did not give Palermo any chance of an upset."

"Then we will use the substitute-level midfield and frontcourt to slowly grind down Palermo, look for good opportunities and score goals."

"So this is likely to be a small-score match, and Juventus may make people sleepy, which is the so-called stability!"

There has never been a nameless final since ancient times.

Lippi refused to flip over.

Moreover, compared with Lazio and Roma, Juventus's semi-main lineup is stronger and the combination of new and old players is more suitable.

They will not be like those two teams, leaving obvious weaknesses for Palermo and allowing Ribery to take advantage of endless opportunities.

Palermo's lineup has not changed much:
Filippo, Eduardo

DiDonato, Modric, Ribery
Chiellini

Arkadi, Bilica, Vidic, Lucarelli

Sicignano

……

"Concentrate and don't think about anything else except the game." He Tianqi was giving the players the final mobilization.

He could see that several players were a little dazed.

There is no problem with their physical condition, but they have started to worry mentally.

Because the Italian Cup championship is the highest honor they can achieve in their lifetime!
At this time, an old man appeared on the big screen.

It was Camignani, Palermo's previous coach, who also came to cheer for He Tianqi.

Palermo fans applauded.

Camignani's coaching time at Palermo was very short and he did not bring any championship to the team, but he brought a person who could win the championship - He Tianqi!

For this alone, Camignani should be inducted into the Palermo Hall of Fame.

Soon, the game officially started.

Juventus took the first step.

Palermo's routine pressing didn't have any effect.

The old woman is very steady!
In the second minute, Pessotto advanced with the ball, hit the wall and then made a through pass to Fresi.

Oliveira received the ball, shook off Lucarelli and made a cross pass.

Di Vaio shook off Bilic and suddenly rushed to the front, touching the ball before Vidic.

Swish!
The football went into the net.

"GOAL! One to zero!"

"Too fast! Juventus got off to a dream start!"

"Di Vaio celebrated excitedly on the sidelines! He thinks he should get more playing time!"

"If Parma hadn't insisted on selling Di Vaio to Juventus, he might have become the next Ronaldo at Inter Milan!"

"He has the ability to be a main striker in any team, but unfortunately he met a similar player as Del Piero!"

"Compared to Juventus' good form, Palermo's defenders seem to be still asleep!"

He Tianqi stood on the sidelines and began to call on the players to run, helping them to get into the game rhythm faster.

It's a small team, it's a country guy, there's nothing we can do about this situation.

This is where experience matters.

The first time, the ball was lost very quickly, uh... the ball was lost very quickly.
