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

Chapter 123: The Strongest Firepower in Europe, Call Me He Hai From Now On
when!
In the seventh minute, Anelka used his personal ability to shoot a powerful shot that hit the goal post, shocking the opponent.

The atmosphere at the Frederick II Stadium cooled down slightly.

After the commentators praised Anelka, they continued to talk about the topic that they had not finished before.

In this game, Palermo fielded a full lineup of main players.

Ribery, Toni, Eduardo

Modric, Chiellini, Toure

Grosso, Vidic, Barzagli, Zaccardo

Handanovic

-

They attach more importance to the Champions League than to the league.

This is very wrong behavior.

There are many precedents in history.

Because of the good results in the previous season, we qualified for the Champions League, and then we wanted to break through the siege and advance from the group stage in the Champions League, so we ignored the league.

As a result, after one season, not only were they eliminated in the Champions League group stage, but they also lost too many points in the early stages of the league and were ultimately unable to catch up and were relegated.

There are too many such examples.

"In the final analysis, it is still too vain. I think the Champions League is more famous and I want to use this platform to make myself world-class."

"But this kind of poor performance will only make He Tianqi lose his base."

"Serie A will punish everyone who disrespects him."

Many Italian fans were complaining, but in the 15th minute, Modric made a diagonal pass, trying to connect with Toni.

Tony had an idea and blocked Fenerbahce's central defender, allowing the ball to slip past.

Eduardo met the ball from the back and shot it.

The football flew into the sky, passed over the goalkeeper's arm, and almost overturned the goal net.

[Rapid shot]!
"GOAL! Palermo leads 1-0!"

"The Croatian connection that failed to flourish in the Croatian national team appeared in Sicily!"

"Eduardo scored the first goal for Palermo in the Champions League. This is a moment to remember!"

"But Fenerbahce and Palermo played back and forth, and Anelka threatened Palermo's goal several times. One to zero will definitely not be the final score."

In the 23rd minute, Anelka headed the ball and Handanovic successfully hugged the ball.

From the beginning of the game till now, Anelka has taken many shots and he is one of the best players in the game, even better than Eduardo who scored the goal.

But from Palermo's point of view, Fenerbahçe showed no sign of scoring any goal.

Guardiola even whispered while sitting next to He Tianqi: "Fenerbahce has hardly executed any tactics so far. The center forward's gorgeousness is indeed a drag on the tactics."

He Tianqi looked at Guardiola and smiled without saying anything.

If you have the guts, don’t add a center and continue using Jesus!
But his perception was not wrong.

Although Anelka was dazzling on the field, judging from the team's tactical opportunity classification, Fenerbahce's chances of scoring were all below five points.

As for Palermo, under normal circumstances, such opportunities would not be allowed to be scored.

You can only take the kick if you score seven points or more.

This is He Tianqi's own tactical rating mechanism.

From one to ten.

One point is probably a goal kick from the goalkeeper.

Four or five points are probably mindless long passes, low-level crosses when there is no big center, etc.

Seven points is basically a very good chance. At this stage, those who can create two or three such chances in a game through tactics are definitely famous coaches.

And ten points does not mean that a goal will definitely be scored, it only means that the best opportunity has been created. The goal still depends on the individual ability of the players.

If you meet players from popular factions such as Happy Football and Abstract Football, they can turn ten points into two or three points for you.

In the future, Guardiola's team will be very strict in controlling the distribution of opportunities.

There is almost no option of crossing from the bottom, and no shot is allowed when the chance is less than seven points.

The bottom cross, which is the end point of many teams' tactics, is only the starting point of Guardiola's Manchester City tactics.

Corresponding to the "tactical opportunity classification" is the "expected goal", or the expected value of the goal.

This data measures the possibility of scoring a goal from the player's perspective.

The lower the expected value of a goal, the lower the probability of you scoring a goal, and it would be incredible if you scored a goal.

0.1 means that about one goal is scored in ten shots.

0.9 means nine goals in ten shots.

If a player scores a lot of goals but the final number of goals is far lower than the expected number of goals, it means that his ability to seize opportunities is actually not good.

Both players scored a lot of goals, but the one with a much lower expected goal value scored more incredible goals.

These are all advanced data that represent a more scientific part of sports and are ahead of their time.

The introduction of these special terms will have a significant positive impact at this stage.

But...data is dead, people are alive.

After the popularization of high-level data, what is more important is high-level interpretation.

The same data may lead to completely opposite conclusions if interpreted by different people.

If two players have the same number of goals but one has a much lower expected goal value, does that mean he is better?

It may be that the team is counterattacking, with few attacking opportunities, requiring players to run long distances, in which case the expected value of a goal is very low.

But it is also possible that the team plays a passing game, with many opportunities, and the players have good conditions to use their small-range dribbling to make scoring "look difficult", resulting in a low goal expectation.

These are actually two completely opposite situations, but the data shows the same.

The same is true for high goal expectations.

It may be that the team is very good at creating opportunities and chasing people.

It may also be that the players themselves have strong personal abilities and are good without the ball before shooting, so they can always easily get excellent scoring opportunities.

Therefore, these data need to be viewed in combination, with horizontal comparison, vertical comparison, technical comparison and tactical comparison, to be truly effective.

However, most of the “looks threatening”, “looks like a good kick” and “looks suppressed” statements are just appearances and are deceptive.

……

In the 30th minute, Grosso made a cross from the bottom of the field.

Guardiola's team does not allow crosses from the bottom, but He Tianqi's team can do so.

Because Toni's header is far better than the future Haaland.

And Toure would frequently enter the penalty area to grab points.

Eduardo's movement is ghostly and his heading ability is not weak either.

Moreover, Grosso's cross is also based on the situation where there are many people competing for the header, otherwise he will pass it back to Ribery and then let Modric reorganize it.

So when someone else passes the ball, it’s a four or five point chance.

Palermo's cross was a six or seven-point chance.

boom!
Tony jumped high and headed the ball.

The football hit the net.

He is not as brilliant as Anelka, but he has already become a great talent!
"GOAL! Two to zero! Tony extended the lead for the team."

"He is a newly promoted Italian international. In the recent national team match day, he played a key role in two games with one goal and two assists."

"Based on this form, he might be able to secure a spot in the World Cup two years from now!"

In the 35th minute, Anelka started to exert his strength.

Chiellini received a yellow card for defending him.

In the 38th minute, Fenerbahce won a corner kick and Anelka beat Barzagli to score.

The score was changed to one to two.

The expected goal value of this ball is ridiculously low.

In Palermo, which is full of tall players, the 1.86-meter-tall Anelka could not even get a place in the team, and he was also being marked by someone, but the result... this was a magical goal.

It is also considered a reflection of personal ability and luck.

In the 41st minute, Ribery dribbled the ball on the wing but failed to find an opportunity, so he passed the ball back to Modric for organization.

Modric swept the ball across without stopping it.

Tony came out to assist and stepped on the ball with his heel, and the ball rolled into the penalty area again.

Eduardo scored a goal and completed his second goal.

"GOAL! Three to one! The score is widened again!"

"Beautiful! This is the beautiful football of Sicily!"

"Since the second half of last season, Palermo's style of play has become more delicate and gorgeous."

“This season, the cooperation between these veteran players is getting better and better.”

"This kind of team tacit understanding requires a lot of training and complete tactics."

Tony's playing style is not flashy, but today he missed the ball and kicked it with his heel, and those who didn't know would have thought they were watching the future Liverpool star Firmino play.

This is because even though Tony didn't look behind him, he knew where Eduardo was and where he would run.

The cooperation came out naturally.

Di Maria, Van Persie and Mascherano could never play this kind of game in a short period of time.

In the 45th minute, Eduardo moved to the right and then received a long pass from Modric.

Yaya Toure made a forward run from the right flank.

Eduardo passed the ball forward.

Toure got the ball and made a powerful cross near the right bottom line of the penalty area.

The ball was going too fast and Fenerbahce's central defenders didn't dare to kick forward for fear of causing an own goal, as they were still some distance away from the ball.

Their goalkeeper didn't dare to rush out, in case he failed to catch the ball, it would be troublesome.

At the back post, Ribery didn't have so many concerns and just made a flying shot.

Then he slid towards the goalpost.

But luckily he was facing the goalpost, so he was supporting himself with his hands and there was no risk of injury.

The same action, if performed with your back to the goal, would be too painful and too easy to get injured.

"GOAL! Palermo are going crazy again!"

"Four to one! Pink Eagle is leading by a large margin!"

"Ribery scored with a flying tackle."

It's the same cross from the wing, with a target and without a target, with an arrangement and without an arrangement, the effects are completely different.

Toure's cross pass had at least two receiving points: Eduardo and Ribery.

The probability of being encountered is quite high.

In the end, the score in the first half was four to one.

Palermo almost got their first three points in the Champions League ahead of schedule.

Because the team was leading by three goals and it was Palermo's home ground, a staff member sent a bottle of champagne into the locker room.

This is a new "tradition" at Palermo's home ground.

When they are leading by three goals or more, they will receive a bottle of expensive champagne to motivate the players to continue playing well in the second half, and everyone will drink this wine together after winning.

This tradition stems from previous miraculous performances in Palermo, which were started by them and spread throughout Italy.

If an Italian team wins by three goals in the first half, they will definitely open champagne to celebrate.

In order to show the team's determination to win, they even display champagne before the game.

It's like a threatening statement like "Today I just want to beat you all to death, or be beaten to death by you all."

It is expected that this segment will appear before several Serie A derby matches this season.

The Four Horsemen wine brand was the first to provide champagne to Palermo. As this tradition spread in Palermo, it quickly grew in Sicily and has now become an up-and-coming Italian wine brand.

They provide the red wine for each club.

So whether you're opening champagne at halftime or drinking red wine before the game, you can't just find any wine.

You have to use FH red wine to look presentable and have a sense of ceremony.

Otherwise the taste will be wrong.

Before the start of the season, FH Wine also released a preview of its new products, announcing that it would create exclusive pre-match champagnes for each major derby and give them to the two participating teams.

And through "Tianyan Check", it can be found that the major shareholder of this company is the He Group.

……

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

In the 48th minute, Anelka, who had rested well, was full of energy. He punched and kicked his way through the middle, shot before Vidic could confront him, and then fell to the ground.

The ball slipped past Handanovic's fingers.

"GOAL! Four to two!"

"Anelka scored twice! Even though the situation was not optimistic for him, he was still one of the best players on the field."

"He is only 25 years old. It is unthinkable that he would go to the Turkish Super League to make money so early."

"It's a huge waste. He should return to the top five leagues. He is fully capable of playing for a top club."

In the 53rd minute, Vidic regained face.

When Fenerbahce stole the ball from Modric and launched a counterattack, facing the double attack of Anelka and another Fenerbahce striker, Vidic fought and retreated, performing a perfect textbook defensive retreat.

In the end, he managed to steal the ball before Anelka could shoot.

Under the [Paradigm Retreat], Vidic has almost no weaknesses.

Palermo fans gave the Eastern European giants a warm round of applause.

In the 59th minute, He Tianqi replaced three players without hesitation.

Di Maria replaces Ribery.

Mascherano replaces Chiellini.

Van Persie replaced Toni and then switched positions with Eduardo.

Palermo enters training mode.

Fenerbahce players were both happy and sad.

The good news is that the other party was careless and they have a chance.

It's sad that they were beaten to this point by others.

A commentator said that He Tianqi lacked basic respect for his opponents, and similar situations have occurred several times in Palermo this season.

The same goes for the game against Anderlecht.

But on the other hand, if you don't respect your opponent, your opponent will not respect you.

Didn’t AC Milan also teach Palermo a lesson with this substitution method?

What was Palermo feeling at the time?
He Tianqi: It feels great because we completed the reversal.

Ancelotti: MMP! In the 67th minute, Mascherano was used as a defensive loophole by the opponent and was attacked.

He finally had no choice but to make a tackle and received a yellow card early on.

But at the same time, it also lets others know that although he is small, his defense is not weak.

So Fenerbahce chose to pinch the softer Modric.

In the 69th minute, Modric was surrounded and robbed, but he made a lob pass and took the ball away, and things suddenly looked bright.

After receiving the ball, Di Maria advanced at high speed on the wing, pretending to go down the bottom and then cutting inside. Unfortunately, he failed to completely get rid of the opponent and could only pass the ball to Eduardo who came to meet him halfway.

Eduardo was followed by the opposing defender, but he tapped his heel and replicated Toni's previous move in this position.

Although Van Persie does not have that kind of tacit understanding, he is young, has good physical functions and excellent explosive power.

After starting, he shot with his right foot before the opponent's defender.

However, he was in too much of a hurry and too worried about the players behind him catching up, so his whole movement was not very coordinated.

The key is that he is a left-footed player. Although his right foot is also good, the difference between the forward foot and the backward foot can be more evident at times like this.

Moreover, Eduardo's pass was quite powerful and the ball rolled quite fast.

The faster you go, the easier it is to make mistakes.

The football rolled over first.

Van Persie missed the ball and fell down in the penalty area.

This made Eduardo raise his hand immediately, signaling the opposing player to foul Van Persie.

Otherwise, why would Van Persie fall down?
Van Persie fell to the ground, covering his face in despair.

Van Persie: Brother, stop talking, it’s too embarrassing, can you please leave me alone?
The football rolled towards the penalty area. Yaya Toure ran over and grabbed the ball before the opponent, then picked it up and passed it back.

Eduardo's height prevents him from catching this kind of cross.

So Toure gave the ball to the back post.

Di Maria, who had passed the ball while cutting inside, happened to go down and successfully stopped the ball near the back point.

Toure passed the ball a little too deep, otherwise Di Maria would have had a chance to shoot directly.

And now, Di Maria made a slight feint and made a reverse triangle pass with his left foot.

Modric rushed over and shot from near the penalty spot.

A Fenerbahce player flew to block the ball, pushing it toward the right side of the penalty area.

Van Persie, who was facing the Jiangdong people in silence, suddenly remembered that he had been criticized by He Tianqi before. He quickly stood up and prepared to re-participate in the attack.

As a result, the football hit him directly in the face and bounced towards the goal.

The Fenerbahce goalkeeper, who had completed the save and was falling, watched the football fly past him at a slow speed towards the goal, his eyes full of despair.

The entire stadium was stunned.

A second later, cheers broke out.

"GOAL! Five to two!"

"The young player Robin van Persie, who came on as a substitute, scored a goal for the team! He was so excited that he cried!"

"Oh! My nose is bleeding!"

"Hahaha! Van Persie's goal was so comedic."

"It was a rare miss at first."

"Then when he stood up, the football hit his face, which made him score the goal passively."

This time Van Persie was really lying on the ground.

His mind went blank and he was stunned for a while.

When he came to his senses, there were faces everywhere.

This perspective made his anus tighten.

It seems that there are such shots in many short movies in avi format.

It's so miserable.

The team doctor also entered the field, and after simple bleeding control and examination, Van Persie stayed on the field and continued the game.

Palermo's pace and control of the ball also slowed down appropriately.

Both sides began to lose the ball frequently.

In the 81st minute, Grosso made a straight pass to Di Maria. Di Maria received the ball, ran two steps, stopped suddenly, shook out of the way, and then made another straight pass.

Modric advanced from the left flank and made a horizontal pass without stopping, which was quite like a scimitar.

Directly passed the defender and connected with Van Persie at the other end.

Van Persie shot again and finally made an attack of good quality.

But the opponent's goalkeeper played bravely and pushed the ball out of the bottom line.

In the 83rd minute, Modric made a straight pass and Di Maria received the ball on the left and made a cross.

Yaya Toure came from the back row and headed the ball, but the ball flew away.

The game therefore entered garbage time.

He Tianqi reminded everyone to pay attention to safety and retreat appropriately.

Continuing to attack at this stage is most likely to cause the opponent's defensive movements to be excessive, which will then lead to a series of unnecessary injuries.

Fenerbahçe therefore launched continuous attacks.

In the 90th minute, Barzagli poked the ball away from the opponent's feet, and Mascherano received the ball and made a long pass to launch a counterattack.

Van Persie ran with the ball, accelerated with a flick, and ate up the opposing defender.

He rushed along the right rib.

If he goes to the left center, his position will be better, and he can challenge the last central defender alone, create a little space and shoot.

But this time, he chose to move slightly to the right to leave space for Eduardo to come in from behind.

However, the opponent was very experienced and kept retreating, pressing Van Persie outside the right rib.

The opponent's goalkeeper also stood on the right side, blocking all positions of Van Persie's shots from small angles.

For a Sagittarius, how bright is the first option? To have gotten to this point is really a waste.

This kind of counterattack is a sure win!
But the next moment, Van Persie did something he would never do before.

He then accelerated the ball, increasing the distance between himself and the opposing defender, narrowing his shooting angle, and then half turned and kicked the football out before the opposing center back could stretch his foot.

This is similar to a shooting motion.

The football flew.

But from the perspective, it looked more like a pass.

A not-so-high-quality return.

He Tianqi stood up from his seat, stared at the football, and a smile appeared on his lips.

At this time, the quality of the pass is no longer important, what matters is the position of the football.

As long as you can pass the ball, it will definitely be a goal.

boom!
The next moment, Eduardo, who was running from behind, leaped forward and completed a diving attack before the Fenerbahce goalkeeper who had just taken half a step forward.

"GOAL! Six to two!"

"Eduardo completes a hat trick of goals!"

"Croatia's Inzaghi is in great form this season!"

"This is also the first hat trick in the Champions League this season!"

"Some new fans know that Palermo has strong offensive tactics, but in fact, Palermo has always relied on counterattacks in the early days, and their counterattacks are of very high quality."

"Compared to letting players go past the goalkeeper alone or betting on whether a single shot can go in, He Tianqi prefers to use tactics to get past the goalkeeper!"

When Van Persie, who had fallen to the ground after passing the ball, got up, the first thing he looked at was He Tianqi on the sidelines.

He wanted to know whether the boss had seen his choice this time.

Did you attach importance to his assist and saw his efforts and changes?
If everyone's eyes are only on Eduardo who scored the goal, then next time Van Persie will have to make himself the one who scores the goal.

The important difference between being PUA and giving is not whether you give or not, the real difference is... in the former, others will not take your efforts to heart, but instead think that being able to fool you is their ability.

In the latter case, others will see and remember your efforts, and sometimes give you equal or even excess returns.

The two gazes met.

Almost instantly, Van Persie's eyes turned red.

The boss saw it!
The boss is looking at himself!

No football, no Eduardo!
For the first time, he felt happy from his assists and tactical completion.

This is an experience that has never been experienced in other teams.

He Tianqi was equally delighted.

Van Persie finally began to truly integrate into the team.

He is a player who can play multiple positions such as center and winger.

He was the template for the all-around striker before Lewandowski.

His finishing and burst are no worse than Eduardo, but he is faster, taller, stronger, has better shooting skills, better passing skills, and more prominent supporting and fulcrum roles.

As Palermo enters Serie A and the Champions League, facing opponents of a higher level, you can win once through tactics, but you can't win all the time.

The opponent can regain the advantage by targeting the players.

Eduardo is the kind of striker who tends to disappear once he is targeted.

And Tony still doesn't have a qualified substitute.

Although He Tianqi can play a strikerless formation, after Van Persie is trained, the team's offensive may be more powerful than using Tony as the regular center forward.

However, all of this is based on the premise that Van Persie's football philosophy has matured and he must at least be able to accept the concept of serving the team.

Otherwise, if we put him in charge today, he will ask for unlimited firing rights tomorrow and ask for a transfer the day after tomorrow. That would be too hurtful.

In the end, the game ended with a score of six to two.

Palermo took all three points.

Manchester United in the next group tied 2-2 with French Ligue 1 powerhouse Lyon.

So... after finishing third in Serie A, Palermo finished first in the Champions League group stage.

All major media outlets have been cheering for Palermo.

France Football: "Beautiful football from Sicily - Palermo!"

Kicker: "The league got off to a good start, and the newly promoted Serie A team intends to overthrow the old forces! The Champions League has a big score, and the UEFA Cup champions still want to continue to blacken it?"

Bild: "Two fronts, Champions League tour! Palermo caused the biggest tragedy of this round of games!"

Gazzetta dello Sport: "The secret of Palermo's midfielder's custom of opening champagne is revealed. Serie A has followed suit, and football culture has opened a new chapter!"

China Central Television CCYV Channel 5 even made a special feature about Tianqi and Palermo, titled "The Pink Eagles rise together, Serie A and Champions League rank among the top few!"

Some friends who like to buy football shouted the slogan "Buy Palermo and get a villa by the sea", as if they had found the secret to getting rich.

A Champions League match brought Palermo a lot of attention.

This is a capability that no other event has.

Because many fans' attention is only focused on one or two top clubs and the Champions League.

The league is not even in their eyes.

Not only that, "Barbara Column" also published Palermo's recent performance, and published an article saying: "Italian football has found a breakthrough. The league with the strongest defense has produced the team with the strongest offense!"

“Who can stop this unbeaten Palermo!!!”

If I don't know, I was surprised when I said it.

When everyone looked at it, they realized that Palermo had five wins and one draw in multiple competitions in the new season, including the Italian Super Cup, UEFA Super Cup, Champions League qualifiers, Champions League, Serie A and so on!
But being unbeaten is nothing. After all, Palermo's 46 league games unbeaten last season was already a miracle.

The problem is that in Palermo's six games of the new season, they have scored 4.83 goals, with an average of goals per game. Their offensive power has skyrocketed!

No one questions Serie A's defense, but the problem that arises from this is the Italian team's lack of strength on the offensive end.

With only one or two goals scored in every game, the fans are becoming sleepy, and the loss of Serie A fans on the Internet is huge.

Moreover, data is helpful in creating stars and judging awards.

Defense wins championships, but loses everything.

The Italian Football Association has noticed this problem, but has no way to solve it.

However, now, the emergence of Palermo has brought something different to Italian football.

To a certain extent, this has aroused fans' desire to watch Italian football.

Therefore, Palermo's next round of the league will attract a lot of attention.

The key is that their opponent is also a powerful club - Inter Milan!
……

[Ding! You led the team to win the first Champions League match and received the rewards "Press Conference Reversal" and "Double Star Red and Green"*2]

[Press Conference Reversal: Star-level Skill (Coach Exclusive). Ten Hag at the press conference is the best Ten Hag. He is always able to turn the tide after the game and win the team a victory without three points. When you help the team reverse the situation at the post-match press conference, the team's morale for the next game will be improved by at least two levels. The greater the reversal, the higher the morale will be, and there is no upper limit! (Morale levels: Worst, Very Bad, Very Bad, Bad, Normal, Good, Very Good, Very Good, Best)]

[Double Star Red and Green: Special props. A pair of practical domestically produced sneakers, red and green. The player's foot confrontation ability is improved]

???

!!!

Teng Hai is here!

Although He Tianqi doesn't want to be a clown, but for the sake of the team, please call him He Hai from now on, oh no... He Sheng!
There are many factors that affect team morale.

You need to refer to your own and your opponents' strength and fame. Different competitions also have different morale. Recent news will also have an impact on morale, as well as the players' self-adjustment, the coach's guidance, the stimulation of awards and honors, the phased progress of team tactics and player skills, etc.

Among them, losing and winning have the greatest impact on morale.

Especially the win or loss of key games.

For a team as strong as Liverpool, which was competing for the championship, Klopp had no problem announcing his departure, but the team collapsed after losing to Manchester United in the FA Cup.

Do you dare to say that this is not Tenha casting the spell?
The key point is that this [press conference reversal] is very important to He Tianqi this season.

Because Palermo is destined to face many tough battles this season.

It's impossible not to lose.

The key is how to quickly return to the best condition after losing and meet new challenges with the best attitude.

After all, don't think that people are now immersed in Palermo's unbeaten streak and nearly five goals per game.

But only He Tianqi looked at the Serie A schedule and saw the words between the characters, which were all "cannibalism".

As for the [Double Star Red and Green], it is so classic that it can be called a legendary shoe.

At the beginning of the 21st century, almost every child in the urban-rural fringe area had a pair of sunglasses.

Later, Double Star also launched an upgraded version of the golden rubber band, which combines both functionality and appearance.

It was not until the rise of basketball shoes in China that double-star shoes gradually withdrew from the stage of history.

These two pairs of shoes actually belong to the "health care category". They improve the foot's ability to fight and also protect the players' feet in disguise. They have a wide range of applications.

But He Tianqi believes that the most suitable player is still a defender.

Although frontcourt players may also compete with their feet when passing the opponent in a small area, defenders must use this function every time they steal the ball, and its usage rate is higher.

So Vidic and Zacardo, one the core of the defense and the other the vanguard of the defense, respectively put on the new shoes arranged by the coach.
