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

Chapter 65: One Hundred and Three Years of Waiting (Please share)
Just like Roma regretted not bringing Totti, Lazio regretted not bringing the Italian national team's devilish wingers.

Seventy-third minute.

Davis knocked away Modric who was trying to steal the ball and made a straight pass.

Fresi, who was making a forward run, received the ball and made a lateral pass. Although the pass was not very accurate, his awareness was very good.

If Lippi is willing to put in the effort to train him, he can definitely develop him into an all-around midfielder, maybe even the first B2B midfielder in European football!

But Lippi didn't like Fresi and left him idle at two different clubs.

In the penalty area, Trezeguet stood up and made a volley side hook.

The move was not fancy, but the football went straight into the net.

"GOAL! Trezeguet's contribution is clearly visible to the naked eye!"

"Juventus equalized the game... He Tianqi raised his hand on the sidelines, indicating offside?"

"Oh! As expected, the linesman also raised the flag."

"Trezeguet was not offside, but when Davis made the through ball, Fresi was already offside!"

"The goal is invalid! It's still 4 to 3!"

"But He Tianqi's actions seem familiar!"

At this moment, all Juventus fans were dragged back to this time last year.

It was also the Italian Cup final.

It was also a crucial goal.

It was also He Tianqi who indicated offside.

It was also the referee who blew the whistle on the goal.

Everything seems to have returned to the starting point.

Last year, Juventus finally missed the Italian Cup.

This year, is it...

The camera turned to He Tianqi.

Looking at his young face, Juventus players' regret reached its peak.

At this moment, the situation in the field suddenly changed.

Modric and his teammates launched a sudden siege and rushed towards Bilindli.

Bilindley knew that passing the ball randomly at this time would be more dangerous, so he took a step forward and chose to challenge Modric alone.

After all, a soft persimmon like Modric is easy to control at first glance.

Unexpectedly, Modric's defensive judgment was very accurate. He didn't get fooled and poked the ball away cleanly.

He Tianqi smiled on the sidelines.

Modric's defensive ability is easily overlooked by many people.

He is often invisible on the field.

Even if he got the stats, no one would remember his performance.

It was like he had already completed a hat trick of assists up to this point, but no one noticed it.

The reason for this phenomenon is not only that he is indeed relatively invisible, but also that anyone can do what he does - at least that's what the fans think.

For example, his hat trick of assists basically came from corner kicks, and anyone can take a corner kick.

……

Bilindley turned around and pulled Modric immediately.

But Modric still sent the ball away before falling to the ground.

The referee made a gesture in favor of the attack.

Because the force of this ball is relatively small.

Quagliarella, who was in a forward position, could only stop and turn around to hook the ball, thus turning a one-on-one shot into a half-one shot.

boom!
Quagliarella turned and shot.

Chimenti flew to save the ball and blocked it out.

But the next moment, DiDonato also rushed in and shot the ball low.

Swish!
"GOAL! DiDonato made the follow-up shot!"

"This is his second goal today! One was an incredible tactical free kick and the other was such a wonderful follow-up shot."

"This former genius who came from Turin's youth training system dealt a fatal blow to their city rivals!"

"He was just like a young Nedved on the field today!"

"Five to three! Palermo once again scored a big goal against a powerful team!"

"This was also their first goal in open play in this game! But rather than saying it was an opportunity they created, it was more of a mistake by Juventus!"

"Bilinderelli obviously underestimated the determination of Palermo players to fight for the ball." Palermo celebrated wildly on the sidelines.

All the fans watching this game are excited for Palermo.

This is a young man who wants to slay a dragon!

Is the powerful black and white army really going to make its final exit?

……

In a private room at a stadium.

Juventus general manager Moggi looked a little unhappy.

Inter Milan chairman Moratti laughed: "The children of Juventus led the children of Turin to snatch the championship trophy from Juventus. Interesting, very interesting!"

"Zamparini, how much is this DiDonato?"

Palermo owner Zamparini smiled but said nothing.

He loves everyone in Palermo now.

Look who’s in this room!
Moggi, Moratti, and even Prime Minister Berlusconi came.

Zamparini's strategy of expanding his business empire through football has been a great success.

This was going better than he had imagined.

And all this is because of the Pope on the sidelines—He Tianqi!

He brought an unprecedented transformation to Palermo.

Barbara rubbed salt into Moggi's wounds beside her father: "Juventus has collected several Nedved successors, but in my opinion, the player who looks most like Nedved is in Palermo."

Everyone laughed.

……

After this goal, He Tianqi ordered the entire team to return to defense and really park the bus.

Juventus wanted to fight for their lives, but unfortunately they had already used up their three substitutions.

Only then did they regret that they had been too polite in their previous substitutions.

There is grace but no warmth.

In the 84th minute, Thuram made a cross from the bottom line, and Vidic cleared the ball under the impact of Trezeguet, but the ball did not fly far.

Di Vaio shot without stopping near the penalty spot, but the ball also missed and was headed out by Chiellini.

Wild Boar Davis made a follow-up shot from the top of the penalty area and hit Sicignano's head.

The latter fell to the ground.

The team doctor entered the field immediately, and He Tianqi signaled the team's substitute goalkeeper to warm up quickly because he clearly saw that Sicignano's status bar showed "injury".

Then Sicignano was carried off the field on a stretcher and Palermo's substitute goalkeeper came on.

In the 88th minute, Juventus, who had been passing the ball continuously in front of Palermo's penalty area, lost the ball. Modric took the ball and counterattacked, and Davis immediately tripped Modric.

The referee showed Davis a yellow card.

In the second minute of stoppage time, Pessotto made a cross from the bottom line, and Vidic cleared the ball again.

Davis received the ball outside the box and shot wide.

Huang Jianxiang became more and more excited: "The defensive ability of Palermo in the last ten minutes was amazing. I don't know if you have watched the game of Porto."

"These two equally amazing teams have similar defensive capabilities."

"Their dense defense is strong because it leaves no path for the opponent's long-range shots to score."

"Davis is a long-range shooter. The ball just now flew away not because he couldn't control it, but because after avoiding the body of the Palermo player, the ball could only fly into the sky."

"In two minutes, Palermo will lift their first top trophy in their history. And Juventus will be runner-up in the Italian Cup for two consecutive years!"

"Oh! There are Palermo fans rushing onto the pitch, they are so excited!"

"He Tianqi and the players are controlling the scene. They asked the fans to go back behind the guardrail and wait a while."

"Palermo fans have reason to be excited. It has been 103 years since Palermo was founded. The team has played in Serie A and reached the Italian Cup final three times."

"But they never won any top honours! Never won the Coppa Italia!"

"And today, the spell will be broken!"

Last night in the Champions League, Manchester City and Real Madrid had a peak battle. Manchester City's offensive suppression is too strong, and the chances of winning are greater. It is indeed the best in the current active team. However, the defensive resilience of this Real Madrid is too strong. It should be the strongest defensive team in this year's Champions League.

Manchester City had several chances to kill the game, but unfortunately they didn't seize them.

The final will most likely be between Real Madrid and Paris.

Paris is far inferior to Manchester City, but it has a chance of winning.

Because the two wingers of Paris have a certain ability to break through defenses, they are very aggressive and can score on their own when they have a chance. However, 90% of the time, Manchester City's wingers pass the ball and there is no immediate threat.

I don't know if Liverpool can turn the tables in the Europa League. Looking at Salah's recent form, if he is not replaced soon, there will be no chance. I hope Klopp leaves with a championship.
