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

Chapter 101: The absolute star blooms, Barbara dates He Tianqi at the hotel (asking for monthly tickets)

In the second half, Zanetti advanced to the right and sent a through ball.

Martins sprinted to the side, and Valencia also rushed towards the football quickly.

A peak showdown between two fast horses.

But Martins is smarter and has a better position.

In the end, Valencia had to use a tackle to push the ball out of the baseline, giving Inter Milan a corner kick.

Zanetti took a corner kick and Vieri headed the ball into the goal like a tank.

Handanovic made a great save, Barzagli's clearance hit Van der Meyde, the ball flew out of the penalty area and its speed slowed down.

Stankovic rushed forward and shot.

The ball hit Valencia and changed its direction.

Handanovic had dived in the right direction, but the ball changed direction, flew towards his feet and rolled into the goal.

"GOAL!"

"Stankovic! Nice long shot!"

"Stankovic scored two world-class goals in two rounds to avenge his team's elimination from the Coppa Italia by Palermo last season!"

"Two to two! The total score is four to four! They are back to the same starting line!"

"Oh! Valencia and Van der Meyde both fell in the Palermo penalty area, and they were both hit by the football."

Soon, Van der Meyde stood up.

But Valencia felt a little uncomfortable.

The football hit his ankle and he was slightly injured.

He Tianqi quickly asked Grosso to warm up, and then replaced Inter Milan's "goal hero" Valencia with Grosso.

At the same time, He Tianqi suggested that Ribery could try to attack along the way.

Execute the "feeding cake tactic".

In the 66th minute, Zanetti and Cannavaro surrounded Ribery.

Ribery has undoubtedly become the Serie B's dribbling king this season.

But there is still a long way to go to reach the top.

It is impossible to get rid of Zanetti and Cannavaro at the same time.

He was forced to pass the ball to Grosso.

But Inter Milan's midfielder Farinos predicted the situation in advance and made an accurate interception.

Grosso retreated immediately, and Ribery rushed to Farinos to launch a counterattack.

Here Grosso made a mistake.

Because He Tianqi's tactics require him to counterattack as soon as possible after the attack in the frontcourt is interrupted, rather than returning to his position as soon as possible.

But Grosso's previous team, or most teams, required the full-backs to return to their positions as soon as possible after losing the ball.

Grosso has not yet fully adapted to Palermo.

This left Farinos with an opening to pass the ball to Cannavaro.

boom!
Cannavaro launched a counterattack with a long pass.

Vieri knocked Barzagli away in the frontcourt and won the ball.

Barzagli is considered quite strong, but compared to the former world's No. 1 center forward, he is still a little young.

Vidic was defeated time and time again.

This kind of retreat and defense is very clever because you don't need to make any defense, and the opponent may lose the ball on his own.

Especially those forwards who are more impatient and can go fast but not slow.

But Vieri's experience and ability are too strong, and his dribbling rhythm is very steady. As he dribbled along the way, Vidic became more and more passive.

Vidic could only counterattack.

But Vieri had anticipated this and flicked the ball to the right, creating space. He raised his left hand and blocked Vidic to his side.

boom!
Vieri completed the kick in a fierce confrontation, and then he rolled to the ground with his right shoulder landing on the ground, looking very embarrassed.

But in the football world, heroes are judged by the number of goals scored.

The next moment, the Meazza Stadium was boiling.

Because Vieri's shot went straight into the net.

"GOAL! Great goal!"

"Three to two! Inter Milan takes the lead again!"

"The King! This is the eternal King of Meazza!"

"Mr. Ninety Billion Lira!"

"Vieri! Let's chant his name..."

"Christian..."

The whole crowd shouted: "Vieri!"

At this moment, more than one Palermo player felt ripples in his heart.

Even He Tianqi had to admit that this was the meaning of being a top star.

They can change the situation, the score, and the outcome by themselves.

Such players are often the natural enemies of coaches.

Whether he is in your own camp or the enemy camp, he will disrupt your deployment and make the word "tactics" empty talk.

But He Tianqi noticed that Vieri fell to the ground after scoring the goal and did not get up for a long time.

"Huh? Vieri hasn't gotten up yet?"

"Oh! Martins and Vieri exchanged a few words...Team doctor, Martins signaled for the team doctor to come on the field!"

"Is Vieri injured?"

"We could see from the replay that his shoulder made contact with the ground first."

"In the past few years, Vieri has had ankle injuries, knee injuries, shoulder injuries, back injuries..."

As the commentator went on, everyone realized that Vieri had been plagued by so many injuries without realizing it.

The innards of this Apennine tank are withering away.

When he gives his all, he still has the fighting power of a top star, but the problem is that there are only a few games every season when he can give his all.

Inter Milan had to make a passive substitution, replacing Vieri with substitute Julio Cruz.

This 1.90-meter-tall center forward nicknamed "Gardener" is a qualified substitute, but he is only a marginal player both for the national team and the club.

This reflects his ability.

In the 74th minute, under the command of He Tianqi, Palermo played out.

Grosso took off directly from the wing and made a cross.

Zanetti didn't expect the opponent to be so tall and so fast, and to be so determined to go down to the bottom.

boom!
Tony heads the ball into the goal.

But the header was too straight and was confiscated by Toldo.

Toldo kicked to the left and launched a counterattack.

Van der Meyde ran with the ball.

Zaccardo quickly approached.

Van der Meyde tried to use the change of tempo to get past Zaccardo.

But Zaccardo usually defends Ribery alone, and Ribery is best at this kind of dribbling.

Seeing that he still had no chance to break through, Cruz, who came on as a substitute, had already run out of position, so Van der Meyde tried to pass the ball.

As a result, Zaccardo predicted the situation in advance and kicked the ball away.

Zaccardo, who combines [defensive full-back], [quick interception], [precise stealing] and [marking], has completely become a "winger freezer"!
His defensive ability, height, hairstyle, and appearance... are very similar to those of Sergio Ramos, the youth training star who made his debut in La Liga this season.

It can even be said that he is a high-end version of Ramos.

In the 75th minute, He Tianqi made a substitution.

Replaced Eduardo with Ashley Young.

Replaced Arteta with Guardiola.

However, after coming on the pitch, Guardiola quietly exchanged positions with Modric.

In the 79th minute, Grosso failed to break through Zanetti on the wing, but it was also difficult for Zanetti to snatch the ball from his feet because Grosso was tall and had long legs.

boom!
Grosso used his body to hold Zanetti back and passed the ball to Modric who came over to receive it.

boom!
Modric passed the ball without stopping, half-turning and sending a rocket shot!

Tony rushed into the small penalty area and made a flying shot.

Unfortunately, this shot was too difficult, and Tony started a little slow, leaving him no time to adjust.

The football slipped out of the goal.

"What a pity! Modric's left foot is not accurate enough. If he had passed the ball with his right foot, or if Eduardo was still on the field, this goal might have been scored!"

In the 84th minute, Grosso made a long pass, Ashley Young received the ball and passed it to Guardiola, who passed it straight against the wall.

With sufficient physical strength, Ashley Young successfully shook off the defender and made a cross from the bottom.

Tony jumped up and headed the ball again.

But he was already very tired, and the header was weak and was caught by Toldo again.

"Oh! Tony is not as good as before in this game."

"During the European match against Dortmund, some people said that Toni was a super striker and was qualified to be selected for the Italian national team to compete in the European Cup."

"But now it seems that he is still just an ordinary center."

"To put it bluntly, he is no better than Inter Milan's backup center forward Cruz."

Some commentators are expressing their opinions.

But He Tianqi felt relieved.

I shot five...times!
Tony activated the secondary blessing of [Almighty Striker].

"Get out! Tony!" He Tianqi shouted to Tony, "Organize, pass, shoot, confront... do everything you can do!"

He Tianqi gestured to tell others that the tactics had changed.

The core of the frontcourt for the next period of time will no longer be Ribery or Modric, but Luca Toni.

The Palermo players nodded one after another.

In the 86th minute, Tony retreated to the midfield to receive the ball, and Farinos went over to press.

As a result, Tony leaned against Farinos, pushed back, turned around with the ball, and passed by.

No one expected that this big guy would suddenly break through with the ball on his own. For a moment, at least three people from Inter Milan rushed towards Toni.

Tony flicked the ball to the right, pretended to break through to the right, and crossed his right foot over the football from the inside to the outside, doing half a bicycle kick.

It's not very confusing, but it's smooth.

After this wave of operations, Tony was facing the goal sideways, ready to pass the ball to Ashley Young on the right and Guardiola on the right back.

boom!
In an instant, the football passed between the crotch of Cannavaro and other Inter Milan defenders, and instead of going to the right, it went directly into the penalty area on the left!
This is... a right heel pass!

"Modric goes forward!" "Cannavaro turns and pulls Modric, but he's too slow!"

"Toldo attacks! Jump on him!"

"Modric!"

"Penalty! The referee awarded a penalty!"

"Oh! It's a red dot!"

On the field, the referee pointed to the penalty spot, fair and impartial!

Modric kicked the ball out before Toldo, who then grabbed Modric's right foot and tripped him.

This was an undisputed penalty.

Including the red card, there is no problem.

The entire Meazza Stadium was silent for a moment, followed by a huge booing.

It’s not that this penalty shouldn’t have been awarded, but the gap in treatment between Inter Milan and other Serie A giants in terms of penalties is too big.

You take care of Juventus, Milan, Roma and Lazio, but you don't take care of Inter Milan. Isn't this equivalent to making trouble for Inter Milan?
This situation has been going on for Inter Milan for quite some time.

And it will continue.

As a result, Inter Milan fans have never enjoyed the same treatment as fans of top clubs and have encountered obstacles everywhere.

"Oh my god! At this moment, the penalty kick may directly determine the outcome of the game!"

"The total score between the two sides is 5-4. If Palermo scores a penalty and changes the score to 5-5, they will take the lead! Because they have three away goals and Inter Milan only has two!"

"This is a penalty worth two goals!"

Since there were no substitutions, Inter Milan could only use a central defender as goalkeeper, and then Zanetti retreated to the central defender position.

And Palermo's players looked to the sidelines.

"Ribery! You can score the penalty!" He Tianqi designated Ribery to take the penalty without any doubt, and activated [The Bandit Coach's Roar] at the same time.

Ten seconds later, Meazza was lost!

The cheers of the Palermo expeditionary force filled the stadium.

"GOAL!"

"Ribery scored from the penalty spot!"

"This is his tenth consecutive penalty kick!"

"His penalty success rate is over 92 percent! So far, it is the highest among European players who have taken more than ten penalties!"

"The total score is five to five! Palermo is leading!"

"Is their Northern Expedition going to take another city?"

"Milan! Are you trembling?"

"Oh! He Tianqi celebrated excitedly! He threw three consecutive punches, each of which hit Inter Milan's fragile heart."

"He Tianqi and Inter Milan should have no old grudges. Is this action to vent his anger for his rumored girlfriend Barbara? As we all know, Barbara has joined the management of AC Milan!"

In the stands, Barbara proudly puffed out her chest and raised her head, imitating Monica's style and blowing a kiss to He Tianqi.

Unfortunately, it's just a copycat.

She imitated Monica's breasts and movements, but she couldn't imitate Monica's style, or in other words... "last name: Zhang Li"!
This is the gap between Jing Tian and Zhao Yihuan, Yang Zi and Yang Mi, Zhao Zhaoyi and Xin Zhilei.

They may all be beautiful, but the tension is ten or a hundred times different.

Unfortunately, Barbara didn't know any of this.

In her opinion, He Tianqi was just boxing for him!
Monica, did you see that?
He Tianqi beat up Patton and his three friends for you.

But they beat up 50,000 Inter Milan fans for me!
Who is his only one and who is just for fun? Do I need to tell you the result?

If you know what’s good for you, just leave He Tianqi. Otherwise, you will be the one who will be embarrassed!

Sgen!
The game then resumed.

Inter Milan had to press forward as a whole and attack at a fast tempo, even though they were one man short.

When Palermo found an opportunity, they could only make long passes to counterattack, and did not dare to play with fire in the backcourt or press forward.

Soon, the regular game time ended and three minutes of stoppage time were added.

Ribery dribbled the ball and counterattacked on the wing, creating a corner kick.

He Tianqi urged the team to take a corner kick quickly and seize the special effect time of [Farmer's Three Punches].

Modric took a corner kick, but Farinos got the first point and headed the ball out of the penalty area.

Stankovic took two steps forward with the ball and passed it to Van der Meyde who was in a better position.

However, Van der Meyde challenged Zaccardo too many times in this game, consuming a lot of physical energy, and could no longer speed up.

Ashley Young caught up with the ball from a slightly behind position.

Van der Meyde no longer had the confidence to try to dribble past opponents. As a winger, he had lost his greatest courage.

boom!
Van der Meyde passed the ball to his teammates.

The ball went straight to Guardiola's feet and almost tripped him!
This...Ashley Young looked at Guardiola and Van der Meyde suspiciously.

That expression seemed to be saying, "You two are having an affair?"
Guardiola even wanted to explain what was going on?

This scene made He Tianqi very happy.

Van Bommel regards Guardiola as his own!
Because Guardiola doesn't dye his hair!

All Palermo players have white hair.

At a glance, those with black hair, blond hair, and no hair, aren’t they all members of Inter Milan?
"Pep! Pass the ball! Counterattack! Find Toni!" He Tianqi reminded Guardiola on the sidelines.

Guardiola did not miss this unexpected opportunity. He turned around and made a long pass.

In the opposite half, Luca Toni made a sudden stop and turned around, rushing into the penalty area.

Cannavaro was amazed by Tony's explosiveness and flexibility.

Does this Tony have such a long battery life?

Why is his condition better than in the first half?
The two men fought against each other and entered the penalty area.

Cannavaro is slightly ahead by half a body length. After all, his speed, turning, burst and flexibility are the best among all central defenders...

"Jump! Tony! Diving header!"

He Tianqi passionately directed the team on the sidelines, rushing along the sideline while sliding his hands like a swimming posture.

boom!
Tony leapt forward and headed the ball into the goal.

He touched the ball half a body length before Cannavaro.

The next moment, white waves surged.

"GOAL!!!"

"Goal! Palermo killed the game!"

"Six to five! Luca Toni's diving header sealed the victory!"

"I take it back! Toni is different from Inter Milan's Cruz! He is a super striker!"

"The referee showed He Tianqi a yellow card! But this did not affect He Tianqi's good mood!"

"Van der Meyde's performance in the first half was disastrous! He actually passed the ball to Guardiola!"

"It's over! The referee blew the whistle to end the game!"

"Congratulations to Palermo, they have once again made it to the Italian Cup semi-finals!"

"He Tianqi is simply the king of the Italian Cup!"

Palermo players celebrated wildly on the pitch.

Defeating strong teams seems to have become a mark imprinted in their genes.

I don't know when Barbara appeared on the court. Maybe she was the one who paid the salary for the security guard.

Barbara found He Tianqi and hugged him to celebrate Palermo's promotion.

During this hug, He Tianqi clearly felt that Barbara had grown a little bigger.

"Are you free tonight? You won the game, so you should be able to date a beautiful woman, right?" Barbara stared at He Tianqi with her eyes wide open, flirting with him crazily.

He Tianqi frowned: "But Monica is not in Milan, and she didn't ask me out."

Barbara: ???

"It's not Monica, it's me!" Barbara said angrily, "It's you and me! The two of us! In the most upscale restaurant in Milan! Candlelight dinner! This kind!"

He Tianqi smiled and nodded repeatedly: "That's great! Compared to the stubborn talk after losing, I prefer the interview after winning! Especially your interviews, the places you always find are so high-end, so suitable for chatting, and I can't stop talking once I start."

"I suggest you go eat something first. We might have to talk all night tonight! Fortunately, you are so young, otherwise I would not dare to fight with you all night long! You know, the death rate from staying up late is getting higher and higher."

"Then let's meet at nine o'clock? I'm going to have a celebration dinner with the players first!"

Barbara was dumbfounded.

What did He Tianqi just say?
Why is it that when he speaks so much in a threatening manner, there isn't a trace of "Zhang Li" in his words?
"What? Are you a little pressed for time?" Seeing that Barbara didn't respond, He Tianqi said, "Then ten o'clock is fine. You can eat more, and I can spend more time with the players."

"I'll wait for your news at ten o'clock! You can even arrange the place in the hotel room, so that we can lie on the bed and talk when we are tired."

He Tianqi was not unfamiliar with this interview format. Barbara had invited him to a hotel before, and he found that Barbara would be in better condition on the hotel bed.

"Okay, then I'll prepare some questions in advance, and then you..." Barbara wanted to slap herself twice.

Who wants to interview?
are you crazy!
Seeing He Tianqi being gradually surrounded by other reporters, Barbara became furious.

Just interview!
When I take off my coat and put on my sexy jersey, will you still have the mind to talk about other things?

……

After the game, Inter Milan coach Verdelli expressed his dissatisfaction with the penalty: "It was a bad penalty and Inter Milan did not get the treatment they deserved."

"Of course I know it was a foul, but if the same foul happened to Juventus, Milan and Roma, would the referee give a red card?"

"The answer is no! They don't dare! I think this is a kind of targeting of Inter Milan."

In this regard, He Tianqi also accepted the same question and said: "There is no controversy about that penalty. I understand Inter Milan fans' dissatisfaction with different penalty results for similar fouls. But what Inter Milan should do is not to accuse Palermo of being treated fairly."

"Instead, they should blame the party they think is being unfair."

"As to whether there is any injustice, I think time will tell."

"I can only say that when Palermo suffers injustice, we will be the first to raise it and fight it. For details, please refer to some of our recent European wars."

He Tianqi spoke very cryptically.

What I mean is, Inter Milan brother, I know your situation and I sympathize with you, so you should go find the real victim.

In addition, after this game, Van der Meyde completely lost the support of Inter Milan.

More than 90% of Inter Milan fans hope that he can leave Inter Milan and quickly go to cause trouble for the next team.

Another 10% of Inter Milan fans hope that he will never be able to play football again - the original words are even more vicious than this.

On the contrary, Zaccardo won the best player of the game with his excellent defense, beating his teammate Toni.

His freeze was the key to Palermo's victory.

Zanetti, Cannavaro and Stankovic all expressed their praise for Zaccardo.

Among them, Cannavaro also believes that Zaccardo has the ability to play for the national team and he should get more opportunities.

But Inter Milan's Zhu Xi Moratti believes that Zaccardo must be on a bigger platform to enter the national team and transform into a superstar.

Inter Milan is such a platform.

[PS: I'm going home tonight, I don't know if I can write. But the hardest time is over. I'll prepare the outline and details, and I'll update in two days.]
