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

Chapter 103: Magic Flute surrenders, the Pope comes to Milan (asking for monthly tickets)

Throughout the first half, AC Milan's offense failed to get off the ground.

In the 44th minute, Modric made a rare dribbling move and passed Redondo with a [second touch].

He saw the decline in Redondo's athletic ability and had been observing Redondo, looking for the opponent's defensive habits and flaws.

Modric is not good at playing against strong players, but he is ruthless when it comes to picking on the weak.

After passing Redondo, Modric passed the ball to Arteta and continued to move forward.

After receiving the ball, Arteta kicked a curved ball into the far corner.

However, the ball was blocked by Lawson's legs.

After receiving the ball, Redondo made a long pass and launched a counterattack.

Kaka rushed forward, stopped and passed the ball to shake off Chiellini, and then drove straight into the game.

Vidic's fighting and retreating strategy is excellent, but it is not enough in front of Kaka.

He retreated too slowly!

boom!
Kaka dribbled the ball past Vidic, and before the latter could turn around, Kaka had already reached the top of the penalty area.

Handanovic could only attack.

Kaka made a low shot and kicked the ball out before Handanovic went to the ground, which was very decisive.

"GOAL!"

"One to one! Near the end of the first half, AC Milan finally equalized the score!"

"Kaka, a divine soldier, descended from the sky and performed a solo journey of a thousand miles!"

"Once he starts running, no one on this lawn can stop him!"

AC Milan fans began to celebrate.

But Barbara couldn't laugh.

It was not until the people around her reminded her that our team had scored a goal that she realized that her home team today was not He Tianqi's Palermo.

So he pretended to applaud, but his eyes were still on He Tianqi the whole time.

When He Tianqi frowned, Barbara's heart bleed.

He Tianqi had reason to frown.

Because Kaka's goal directly affected his tactical arrangements during the halftime break.

……

After the first half, He Tianqi once again emphasized Kaka's threat in the locker room.

He asked Chiellini to stick to Kaka.

Zacardo and Modric should pay attention to assisting in defense.

Whether Kaka is on the left wing, left flank or midfield, someone has to freeze him.

Of course, this way, Inzaghi will get some opportunities.

But Kaka is far more threatening than Inzaghi.

Inzaghi seized the opportunity and turned it into a goal.

Kaka is creating opportunities.

He Tianqi's tactical philosophy has always placed more emphasis on the latter.

Because the coach's tactics can only create opportunities but cannot guarantee goals.

The tactical confrontation is a showdown between creating opportunities and destroying opportunities.

It has nothing to do with scoring goals.

Once the tactics are cracked, no matter whether you are a fox striker or a cake striker, you will be exhausted.

Of course, He Tianqi later found Arteta and had a heart-to-heart talk with him.

The goal lost in the final moments was caused by Arteta's long-range shot.

It’s not that there was anything wrong with the long shot not going in, but that the long shot did not meet He Tianqi’s tactical requirements.

At that time, Modric had already run forward and created an opportunity.

In He Tianqi's tactics, the priority of running forward is very high. The "running down" and "grabbing the back point" evolved from this are the key to breaking the game.

"Arteta, you should be able to feel that your importance in tactics is increasing. You have a lot of tactical autonomy." He Tianqi said "friendly", "But if you can't make the most accurate judgment based on the situation, then I can only help you adapt to the game by limiting your choices."

"I don't think you'd like the latter arrangement."

Arteta certainly knew what He Tianqi was talking about, and he was well aware of his own performance.

"I will play more soberly and ensure I complete the tasks you assign me." Arteta stated.

He Tianqi nodded with satisfaction.

Apart from wanting to return to Barcelona and his unclear orientation, Tazi has many advantages.

Unfortunately, both of these shortcomings are fatal.

The second half.

In the 49th minute, Kaka retreated to receive the ball.

As a result, Chiellini followed, poked the ball away from behind, and knocked down Kaka at the same time.

The referee whistled for a foul on Chiellini.

But this confrontation was a signal for Kaka.

The other party has become tough!
In order to avoid the spotlight, Kaka has become much more low-key.

Similarly, AC Milan's offensive slowed down a lot.

Only Cafu tried to break through on the right.

In the 58th minute, Kaka was scolded by head coach Ancelotti.

Ancelotti asked Kaka to hold the ball and create opportunities instead of playing hide-and-seek.

Kaka dropped back to receive the ball again.

As a result, Modric immediately came up.

Kaka and Modric face off.

He was a handsome young man of 1.86 meters in height, so naturally he was not afraid of the Yodels.

But Chiellini came up shortly afterwards.

Modric bought time for Chiellini.

Chiellini successfully intercepted the ball and then passed it to Arteta.

Arteta passed the ball to Ribery and Palermo launched a counterattack.

Ribery cut in from the left and challenged Cafu directly.

Cafu was almost dribbled past by him.

But he made a timely tackle and almost poked the ball away from Ribery's feet.

Cafu probably won't be able to do this kind of defense too many times.

This made him feel that he was getting old after all.

Back two years ago, it would have been effortless for him to freeze Ribery!

boom!
Toni ran from the penalty area and passed the ball back to Arteta, and used his body to hold back Costacurta who wanted to pass him and continue to rush towards Arteta.

Arteta made a slight adjustment and shot the ball.

It's the [Basic Curve Ball] again!
Two meters away from the left side of the arc outside the penalty area.

This is Arteta's comfort zone.

The football fell into the far corner of the goal.

"GOAL!"

"Two to one! Palermo takes the lead again!"

"Arteta scored a world-class goal from the top of the arc!"

"He's in great form today! One goal and one assist!"

"There are rumours that Barca's scouting department is keeping an eye on the former academy player."

"Palermo is going to be robbed this summer."

"I don't know where He Tianqi found so many outstanding young players. More than one club has expressed interest in their players."

"However, He Tianqi's external style is relatively strong, Zamparini is also generous, and Palermo has made a lot of money in the last two windows. It is not difficult to keep the players in the team with these funds."

Playing for one more year in a familiar and successful team is a far better development path for players than competing for a position in a top club right after becoming popular.

Unless the other party really has a trap waiting for you.

However, this future "pathology" is not very popular nowadays.

Often, players destroy their own walls once they are offered a wide-ranging offer from a wealthy club.

Arteta: ???
In the stands, Monica jumped up and cheered for Apocalypse.

At the same time, Barbara also habitually clenched her fists to celebrate.

Fortunately, she woke up in time.

Otherwise there will be big problems.

Right, Ramos.

On the sidelines, He Tianqi performed the [Farmer's Three Punches].

It was a bit early, but he used this skill not to continue his efforts, but to help the team withstand AC Milan's subsequent counterattack.

For a strong team like AC Milan, their offensive momentum in the first few minutes after conceding a goal is very strong.

really!

AC Milan was very offensive after the kick-off.

But the Palermo players also played well and blocked their first two attacks.

In the 66th minute, Kaka, who had been repeatedly defeated in the middle, came to the wing and avoided Chiellini.

As a result, Zakhardo did not tolerate the Son of God at all. He came up and made a flying tackle, kicking the ball out of the sideline.

Zaccardo once again asked for cheers from the fans on the wing.

Palermo's morale has improved visibly.

Kaka was really a little irritated. He didn't argue, but after the kick-off he looked for Zaccardo, wanting to make a small crotch pass and separate the ball from the opponent.

However, Zacardo saw through Kaka's thoughts and stopped the football with both feet.

Zaccardo passed the ball to Modric, who flicked the ball and made a long pass without even looking at the front court.

But Modric's quick pass was indeed sharp, and the ball flew directly to Toni.

Toni headed the ball over Costacurta's back, Eduardo received the ball and broke into the penalty area, where he tried to shoot under the defense of Laursen.

His shot was very tricky and avoided Laursen's block, but it also lost the best path and hit the post.

The football bounced to the other side of the penalty area, which is the left outside.

And there, Arteta rushed over, stopped the ball and shot it.

An arrow pierces the clouds, and Coutinho comes to meet!

The kick went straight into the blind corner of the goal.

"GOAL!"

"Three to one! These young people from Palermo are too fierce!"

"It's Arteta again, he scored twice!"

"He was involved in all of Palermo's goals today!"

"Abiati's reaction to saves is too slow, which is why he has been unable to take over the starting position from Dida!"

There was a huge cheering at Palermo's home stadium.

Arteta looked at He Tianqi happily.

He Tianqi gave him a thumbs up.

Both of them smiled from the bottom of their hearts.

There is nothing better than the feeling of harmony between a general and a commander because they have the same goal.

On the contrary, Ancelotti on the other side kept shaking his head. He was very dissatisfied with Kaka's performance today.

On the sidelines, AC Milan players began to warm up.

In the 74th minute, Kaka was substituted.

In the 81st minute, Cafu made a triangle pass and Seedorf shot from long range.

The football hit Chiellini's stomach. He was unable to recover for a while and lay on the ground.

Palermo's team doctor came on the field and after checking, he thought it would be best to make a substitution.

He Tianqi therefore replaced Chiellini with Guardiola.

The four great defensive midfield talents finally met at the top.

In addition, He Tianqi replaced Eduardo with Pedro.

But this substitution brought about a sudden change in the situation on the field.

On the one hand, after Kaka, who performed poorly, left the field, AC Milan's midfield became smoother.

On the other hand, after Chiellini, who was very defensive and had a wide coverage, left the field, Guardiola obviously had a different style in defense.

It's not a question of whether he has the physical strength, but a question of being too slow.

This gave Inzaghi the opportunity to stir up the situation.

In the 84th minute, Seedorf hit the wall with Cafu, who ran with the ball, then changed the rhythm and ate Grosso and made a cross pass.

Inzaghi's shot went wide.

He Tianqi immediately asked Toure to warm up and prepare to replace Modric with him.

Use Toure's running ability to fill in for Guardiola who is in a wheelchair.

However, Cafu made a comeback, stole the ball from Ribery and took two steps forward before making a long pass.

Inzaghi successfully made an offside move and ran with the ball.

Handanovic rushed out, but he was a little slow.

Inzaghi got the first step to touch the ball, stopped and passed it, and shot after passing the goalkeeper.

"3-2! AC Milan pulls one back!"

"Chiellini's injury has had a clear impact on Palermo."

"Although He Tianqi realized the problem, it was too late for him to make up for it."

"This is the real fox in the penalty area, this is Inzaghi Bengi!"

Toure then replaced Modric.

The score did not change again.

Palermo beat AC Milan 3-2 at home!

……

Everyone thought this result was good enough for Palermo.

But only He Tianqi was dissatisfied.

Three to two and three to one are completely different.

The former is not stable at all.

And the opponent also scored two away goals.

This puts high demands on Palermo in the second leg.

Arteta was named the man of the match and won a lot of praise after the game.

After all, he defeated AC Milan.

This time, senior executives from Barcelona clearly expressed interest in Arteta in an interview.

They said Barcelona welcomed their children back home.

But he didn’t say whether he would give the children money for train tickets or anything like that.

The main focus is on sensationalism.

When love is deep, there will naturally be someone willing to pay for it.

It's obvious that he's a scumbag.

On the other hand, Kaka was criticized by the media.

It is widely believed that he is the culprit for AC Milan's defeat in this game.

But Ancelotti understood that this was more about He Tianqi's success in breaking and targeting AC Milan's tactics.

It's not the players' fault.

So he did not continue to criticize Kaka after the game.

Instead, he believed that the team would definitely win the final victory after returning to the San Siro Stadium.

After the game, Monica invited all the players of Palermo to dinner.

I have to say, you really can’t refuse this trick from my sister.

He Tianqi had no reason to refuse.

It feels like the rich woman who supports your roommate is treating all of you in the dorm to a meal.

Highlight one Reesebai!

Everyone shouted that their brother was awesome.

However, during the meal, Modric fought for a seat next to "My King" and served He Tianqi and Monica throughout the meal. He poured tea and water, picked up dishes and passed paper. How considerate.

The other Palermo players were dumbfounded.

Isn’t that too shameful?

But what everyone doesn’t know is that every time Modric passed by, he would quietly call Monica “Master’s wife”.

Monica didn't quite understand what this meant at first.

Modric explained that this is the term used in the East to refer to the coach's wife.

Monica laughed at that.

"You have great promise, but no strength." Monica also made a joke in Chinese. Apparently, she is already learning Chinese.

"I don't want to put any pressure on anyone, but you know how crazy Italian models are."

"I don't want He's energy to be wasted on those soulless bodies."

"So if you can create a healthy working environment for your head coach, I think he will definitely appreciate it."

"You will always be the centerpiece of the team he coaches."

"This is rare, isn't it? Apart from He, it seems that many people think you don't deserve the core treatment, including some famous coaches."

Modric nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Master's wife! From now on, none of those little wild models will be able to pass my test! I will definitely help you, oh no... I will definitely help the boss to eliminate these evil spirits."

"I will also keep you updated on any news regarding Barbara."

Monica did not respond, but directly added Modric's social contact information with a secondary account and sent him a picture.

They are four beautiful models.

"They are all new models with good character. If you like any of them, I can help you get a spot in one of their gatherings."

Modric's eyes widened, and he quickly saved the picture: "How can this be so embarrassing? It will be summer soon, and our schedule will not only be dense, but also increasingly important."

Monica nodded to indicate that the master's promise was valid at any time.

When He Tianqi returned from the bathroom, he obviously found that Modric was a little strange.

He always speaks well of Monica.

They say things like you two are a perfect match, you are so talented and beautiful, it's time for you to find someone to take care of you since you are so busy at work, young people who only know how to have fun are more mature and reliable, etc.

Who are you?
Dear aunts and uncles?
After the dinner, Monica did not continue to attack and invited He Tianqi to the hotel.

After all, so many people are watching here. It takes a lot of courage to like an older sister, let alone announce it in front of everyone?

Monica understands He Tianqi very well and is not in a hurry.

She really enjoys this ambiguous period before having sex, which is the taste of true love.

Besides, this dinner was already very rewarding for Monica.

A smart insider is more important than anything else.

……

Turin Sports Daily: "After losing to Palermo in the Italian Cup, is AC Milan, which is competing for the championship on three fronts, about to collapse on all three fronts?"

"Corriere dello Sport": "Palermo has repeated last year's feat of conquering Rome, and this year it is very likely to beat two Milan teams in a row!"

"Gazzetta dello Sport": "Not giving up yet! Ancelotti and Milan executives believe the team has the strength to fight on three fronts, and the Italian Cup schedule is friendly enough!"

"The Future": "Double kill of the two Milan giants? He Tianqi will reign in Milan again!"

Palermo once again became the fans' favorite.

They beat Lazio and Roma back-to-back in the Coppa Italia last year, beating both sides of a city.

This year we faced Inter Milan and AC Milan back to back.

If you say that there is no problem with the Italian Football Association's draw, He Tianqi absolutely does not believe it.

The Italian Cup needs a gimmick.

Fresh blood is needed.

The sudden emergence of Palermo gave the Italian Football Association a good choice.

And this is not a bad thing for Palermo.

Under the spotlight, the civilian representatives of Palermo enjoyed the high-quality penalties that did not belong to them.

If you understand the relationship between the major football associations and the giants, you will know how difficult this is.

This is a treatment that Inter Milan has not even fought for.

Likewise, you report on football and I report on the ball.

The Sun once again focused its attention on He Tianqi and Monica.

The Sun: "Monica invited the entire Palermo team to dinner, which was quite like a hostess. Barbara celebrated Palermo's goal during the game, which was surprising!"

"Who would have thought that the identity of AC Milan's top executives would become Barbara's biggest obstacle in the battle for He Tianqi."

“No matter who makes it to the Italian Cup final, the relationship between Barbara and He Tianqi will suffer a heavy blow.”

"In addition, according to reliable sources, Monica has recently established good connections with a number of promising new European female models."

"Some people think this is to increase publicity for her upcoming film Good Friday."

"But we think this is her forming her own sister team."

“It’s better to keep everything under control than to leave the men to be wild cats out there.”

"This is a complex struggle technique that belongs to the Chinese imperial court. Interested friends can place an order to purchase "The Harem" on Dangdang.com and pick it up at the Sisyphus Bookstore in your city."

This wave of news in The Sun caused the book "Harem" to be sold out.

Because in Europe and America, many women specialize in how to win the favor of rich men, marry into a wealthy family, and change their fate. At the very least, they want to get the other party's seed, give birth to a "cash cow", and live a life of ease and comfort.

This requires great wisdom. It's not just about making an appointment and sleeping with the guy. There are too many female models who have been slept with by others for free.

This kind of book about wisdom is much more useful than those books that teach you to eat pineapples in advance.

[You have led the team to great results. More than ten clubs are interested in your players and are ready to make offers in the summer. Get the reward "Quick Start"]

Good guy!
He Tianqi shook his head. Don’t let him know which ten clubs they are, otherwise he will definitely... empty their wallets!
Right, Barca?
[Quick Start] He Tianqi called Pedro.

This player's personal ability is still relatively poor at present, but He Tianqi lacks a sharp player like him.

So we need to cultivate it vigorously.

On February 8, Palermo easily defeated their league opponents and won six consecutive games.

But the bad news is that their main central defender Vidic was injured in the game.

After the game, the team doctor gave the diagnosis.

Vidic will miss the second leg of the Italian Cup semi-final against AC Milan.

A dark cloud thus shrouded Sicily.

And followed them all the way to the city of Milan.

……

San Siro Stadium, or Meazza Stadium, whatever you call it, the locals generally don't mind.

But some fans will be confused.

This is not actually necessary.

It is hard to imagine that two world-class giants, AC Milan and Inter Milan, still share the same stadium.

Roma and Lazio, two of Italy's top football teams, also share a stadium.

This has seriously affected the revenue and sustainable development of the four teams.

Serie A will also suffer from this in the future.

But Italy is weird.

During this period, countless people have proposed plans to build a new stadium. However, ten or twenty years have passed, and the proposal has not been passed, let alone specific construction.

It is foreseeable that without the participation of Chinese infrastructure, the construction of these stadiums will kill many generations.

So the path to the rise of Chinese football is actually very clear.

What about training youths and establishing leagues at all levels in the mainland is all nonsense.

Which one is football?
To put it bluntly, it's a form of entertainment.

Is it possible to shake the foundation of a country just for entertainment?

Things are becoming more and more chaotic all over the world. We don’t even have enough time to maintain world peace, so how can we have the time to mobilize the entire nation to play football?
Therefore, the path of local youth training sounds reliable, but in fact there is no soil for implementation.

It would be better to use the construction of a stadium as a breakthrough. I will build a stadium for you wealthy clubs. The cost will definitely not be as expensive as your local area, and the construction period will definitely be many times faster than your local area.

Then we establish contact, your youth training system is open to us, the young players we send over will receive your youth training, how many years each batch will last and so on.

The relevant expenses will be borne by the players and institutions. Not only will your youth training at a wealthy club not be at a loss, but it will also generate revenue and grow.

There are still many specific details and many breakthroughs. Building a stadium is just one example.

The key is to "borrow chickens to lay eggs", using foreign youth training systems and league markets to cultivate outstanding domestic players.

In a few decades, there will basically only be one type of football that mainland players will be able to produce.

Those who come from wealthy families or are gifted are sent to major youth training bases in Europe at a young age, then play out of them, shine in the top five leagues, and return to major Asian leagues to retire when they are old.

There is no other possibility besides this.

Don't even mention planning. Without bloodline support and immigration policy, planning is a pure waste of taxpayers' money. And immigration policy is another bigger pitfall.

In short, football, like many other sports, will become an aristocratic sport that is paid for by a niche group of people.

Back to San Siro.

In the stands, AC Milan fans made a huge poster.

It is a beautiful photo of Barbara wearing an AC Milan jersey, with a man and a woman wearing Palermo's black and pink jerseys next to her.

The man was nailed to the cross with slap marks on his face. The portrait used was He Tianqi's.

The female one is the image of Monica.

Here's a still from the upcoming film Good Friday, where she plays Mary Magdalene, rumored to be Jesus' wife.

There are words on the poster: Whether you are Jesus or the Pope, you will be nailed to the pillar of shame of failure by AC Milan!

Apparently, the posters of the meeting and Palermo angered AC Milan.

However, this hostility did not pass on to the players.

On the court, Pirlo, who was preparing to warm up, found He Tianqi, and the two hugged and chatted for a while.

They were very good friends in the national youth team.

He Tianqi gave Pirlo a lot of advice on his football career.

That's right, Pirlo appeared in AC Milan's roster, and he was the starter.

In this game, Ancelotti appropriately strengthened the lineup without affecting the team's league title race.

Inzaghi, Borriello
Kaka, Pirlo, Seedorf, Brocchi
Kaha Kaladze, Laursen, Costacurta, Cafu

Abbiati
-

After retiring, left-back Kaladze joined the Georgian political arena and was elected as vice-premier. Later, he served as mayor of the capital of Georgia and enjoyed a successful career.

Otherwise, why do people say that if you want to be an official, you should go to AC Milan to play football?
With George Weah in front and Kaha Kaladze in the back, AC Milan may be able to establish a small network of formal forums in the future.

Palermo's starting lineup also changed:

Ribery, Toni, Eduardo

Arteta, Toure, Modric

Grosso, Chiellini, Barzagli, Zaccardo

Handanovic

-

Chiellini changed from defensive midfielder to central defender.

In He Tianqi's tactical requirements, the defensive midfielder often drops back to the central defender position, so Chiellini should be able to do the job.

But it is hard to say whether Toure can maintain the position of defensive midfielder.

And in terms of pure defensive ability, Chiellini is also stronger.

Soon, the game officially started.

The two sides were still testing each other at the beginning.

But they had already fought each other once, so everyone quickly got to the point.

In the eighth minute, Ribery challenged Cafu and passed the ball to Arteta who was on the sidelines asking for the ball.

It is not easy for Ribery to get past Cafu, but it is also difficult for Cafu to control other people while being restrained by Ribery.

Arteta made a cross from the bottom line and Toni headed the ball, which was slightly above the goal frame.

In the twelfth minute, Pirlo made a straight pass connecting with Kaka.

Kaka made a cross pass in front of the goal, but Barzagli kicked it in time.

In the 14th minute, it was Ribery again.

He dribbled past Brocchi in the midfield, then cut inside early and passed the ball to Arteta after being blocked by Seedorf.

Tazi took a long shot from his comfort zone.

Unfortunately, the ball was not well caught and flew into the stands.

In the 17th minute, Ribery made a comeback, accelerated and decelerated to pass Cafu, then cut inside to cause Costacurta to foul, winning the team a free kick in a good position.

Under the cover of Modric, Ribery scored directly from the free kick.

Unfortunately, the football hit the crossbar and bounced away.

The whole game entered Palermo's rhythm.

Ribery seems a bit confused.

AC Milan fans couldn't help but blame Ancelotti for not including Maldini in the squad.

In the 21st minute, Modric was surrounded and robbed while holding the ball, and he passed the dirty ball to Arteta.

However, Pirlo had anticipated this and moved towards Arteta in advance.

AC Milan has studied Palermo's midfield passing tactics and knows that Arteta is a dirty ball player, so they will focus on him today.

After Arteta and Pirlo had continuous confrontations, he could only kick the ball to Ribery before other defensive players came up.

Costacurta rushes towards the football.

This was a two-point game and both sides had chances.

Ribery did not dodge.

As long as he gets the ball, he can immediately break into the empty AC Milan penalty area at the back.

Even if AC Milan's siege was successful, it might not result in a goal.

If Arteta and Ribery can break through the opponent's siege, they will have a high probability of scoring a goal.

boom!
Ribery and Costacurta each hugged their calves and huddled outside the AC Milan penalty area.

Cafu came over and kicked the ball out of the sideline.

Players from both sides went over to ask how their own players were doing.

It was painful for Costacurta, but he finally stood up.

Ribery kept shaking his head and looked at He Tianqi on the sidelines.

"Team doctor! Team doctor!" He Tianqi immediately sent the team doctor into the field and asked Pedro to warm up.

Because he saw the [Injury] prompt in Ribery's panel.

The French Sabres have only been together for one and a half seasons, but this time they really can't hold on.

He Tianqi originally wanted to prepare a substitute for Ribery next season, because the level of the Serie B game is not very high, Ribery is at ease and is not prone to injury.

Serie A is very intense, so it’s hard to say.

As a result, He Tianqi found something wrong after the first half of this season. The players' physical fitness had problems because there were too many Serie B games.

So he brought in Pedro in advance to provide some support.

Practice for half a year and it will be useful at least next season.

He Tianqi doesn't expect Pedro to be the center, but as long as he can play some tactical role, he will be thankful.

Because the other two players who can play in this position, Ashley Young and Valencia, cannot play the role of the offensive core on the front wing.

I don’t have the ability to know.

Unexpectedly, Pedro had to go to the battlefield so early.

Pedro then came on as a substitute.

But the situation changed drastically almost instantly.

Just like Liverpool before and after Salah was injured in the 2018 Champions League final.

Before Salah was injured, Liverpool was pressing Real Madrid and Real Madrid could lose the ball at any time.

After Salah was injured and substituted, Real Madrid immediately counterattacked, making it seem as if Liverpool was missing two or three people.

Mysterious and mysterious!

The main reason is that for most people, football is a zero-sum game.

If you don't attack, I will attack. Whoever attacks will have the advantage.

After defending for too long and being beaten by others too often, Van Dijk is about to be beaten into Maguire, and mistakes in the defense are almost inevitable.

When Ribery was on the pitch, as soon as he had the ball, AC Milan automatically retreated.

He can easily bring the ball to AC Milan's attacking third zone, and then try to dribble, pass and shoot.

After he left the field, Pedro had the ball and Cafu pressed directly towards him. Pedro either passed it back or was intercepted, and basically nothing happened.

With less attack from Palermo, AC Milan naturally had more attack.

(End of this chapter)
