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

Chapter 14 Basic Cross, Stepping Ball Skills

boom!
Quagliarella lost his resistance and fell backwards.

The right foot moves from bottom to top, with a side hook in the air.

Kicked the football out.

This goal was very similar to the last goal of Lewandowski's five goals in nine minutes in the future.

But Lewandowski did it without any confrontation.

Quagliarella completed the goal stumbling after being pushed away by the opponent.

(Lewandowski: Are you saying I’m bad?)
As Quagliarella fell to the ground, he could not see the outcome of the shot.

But when he felt the horrible vibrations of the stadium on the ground, he knew the answer!
"GOAL!"

"A decisive goal! Palermo defeats Perugia!"

"Quagliarera scored a super goal!"

"This overhead hook will be on the headlines of all major sports newspapers in a few hours!"

"Three to two! Pink Eagle takes off!"

"This anti-fan army is too tenacious! He Tianqi is so lucky!"

"The goddess of luck kissed He Tianqi's cheek again!"

On the field, Quagliarella pushed away his teammates who were celebrating with him, dodged the pursuit and blockade, and finally rushed to He Tianqi.

"I really did it! I actually scored that damn goal!" Quagliarella burst into tears with excitement.

Banished from Turin, he thought his career was coming to an end.

He couldn't accept such an ending.

As He Tianqi's former teammate in the National Youth Team, he knew too well the consequences of not being able to play well.

He was kicked out of the team at the age of 22 and could not make a living on the football field. He had to transform himself into a coach and would never be able to play football again in his life. How miserable can this be?
(He Tianqi:???)

But now, Quagliarella has found the confidence to continue playing.

Even against Serie A teams, he can score goals.

He is not a loser!
"Thank you, boss!" Quagliarella used the players' special title for the head coach.

This is recognition from the bottom of my heart.

"Well done! This is a volley that is at the level of the best goal in the Italian Football League!" He Tianqi patted Quagliarella on the head.

Then the players came over and everyone celebrated enthusiastically.

……

"Gazzetta dello Sport": "An upset in the Italian Cup! Serie C Palermo beat Serie A Perugia 3-2 in the first leg!"

Corriere dello Sport: "He Tianqi is a tough coach! He won two games in a row with a buzzer beater!"

La Repubblica: "A good-for-nothing also has his day? Shepherd boy Modric scored one goal and made two assists and was named the man of the match!"

"El Mercurio": "Who is this? Ribery, the king of Palermo's right dribbling, was once a talented player of Lille!"

"Future News": "Two wings flying alone! Behind He Tianqi's bizarre tactics is a gamble!"

Turin Sports Daily: "Did Torino's youngster Quagliarella suddenly come to his senses? Did his consecutive buzzer beaters awaken his shooter spirit?"

Italian Post: "Chiellini's interception is terrifying, Vidic's air defense is impeccable!"

Shocked!

The match in Palermo has sparked quite a bit of discussion throughout Italy.

This is the significance of domestic cup competitions in major leagues.

Give the weak a chance.

To upset the giants.

Break the rigid classes and let the light of fame from one goal shine into reality.

At this moment, Palermo became the embodiment of many small clubs.

People began to pay close attention to their news.

However, some professionals believe that this game was just an accident.

Lippi said in an interview with reporters: "Perugia rotated more than half of the players. It is normal to be defeated."

“In fact, the score was very close.”

"As long as Perugia makes an effort in the second round, they will still advance to the quarterfinals." (Joint venture cars: Yes, yes, yes, if we make an effort, the domestic cars will be gone!)
"We watch this kind of drama every year, don't we?"

"As for the so-called double-wing solo tactics, it is simply ridiculous in my opinion."

"That can't even be called a tactic."

"Modric? He is not a midfielder. He lacks control over the tempo of the game. There is no essential difference between him and DiDonato, but DiDonato is better technically than him."

Looking at the Italian football world's evaluation of Palermo, He Tianqi was not surprised.

What Lippi said is actually correct.

Flying solo with two wings is not really a tactic.

This is just like a good cook cannot cook without rice.

The tactic that He Tianqi really wants to create is Six-Winged Frost Flying!

Two full-backs, two wingers, a front midfielder and a center forward, six people took turns to attack, like a steel torrent, destroying everything in their path!

【Ding! 】

[You won your first Italian Cup victory and received the following reward:]

[Position Defense: Team Card. Strengthens the team's position defense training effect.]

[Basic Cross: Player-level skill. Crossing is an important scoring method for the team. The player's crossing ability is slightly improved.]

[Ball-stepping skills: player-level skills. Improve the player's ability to step on the ball, flick the ball, and pull the ball in a small area. 】

Another team card.

This thing has obviously improved the overall strength of the team.

If it weren't for the previous "right-wing attack", Ribery's performance in this game would not have been so dazzling.

Yes, dazzling.

Although the best player of the match was stolen by Modric who scored one goal and assisted twice.

(Modric:???)
But the real focus of this game is Ribery.

He is the primary driving force of the team's offense.

Without his breakthrough, Modric could do nothing.

Lippi's evaluation of Modric is actually accurate.

He is definitely not a good midfielder at this stage.

A good midfielder is one who can control the tempo of the game, create opportunities for the front court, and deliver ammunition.

But Palermo's midfield couldn't do it.

They can only rely on Ribery's personal ability to open up the situation on the wing.

Of course, in the future, thanks to the development of tactics, "Modric-style" midfielders will become more and more important and more and more numerous, while "traditional midfielders" will become less and less.

Let’s talk about “positional defense”.

This card will greatly improve Palermo's defensive capabilities.

It is highly consistent with Palermo's current "counterattack tactics".

It is beneficial for them to squat in the backcourt and counterattack after stealing the ball.

"Basic cross" He Tianqi gave it to Ribery.

In this way, Ribery has two skills: "fast horse" and "basic cross".

For players who can't cross the ball, sometimes it doesn't make much sense to just break through. For details, please refer to Ashley Young.

Because Italy almost always has three central defenders, if you don't pass the ball you can only cut inside, and cutting inside is equivalent to automatically sending the ball to the goal.

Ribery's cross wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.

With this skill, he and the team's center Filippo might be able to produce a chemical reaction.

As for the "ball-stepping technique", He Tianqi wanted to give it to Modric first.

There is no doubt that the shepherd boy is now the real core in his hand.

(Modric: Oh, now I am the core again? You should go find your Ribery!)
As a result, the system prompts that Modric already has this skill.

This surprised He Tianqi very much.
