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

Chapter 159 Three Footballs Are Not Enough, King of the Cup
In this European Super Cup, Palermo's starting lineup was slightly different from a few days ago:
Tony, Mido

Ribery, Motta, Toure, Modric

Grosso, Vidic, Barzagli, Zaccardo

Van der Sar

-

442 formation, building the game around the threat of the twin towers.

The key point is that Modric has moved from a core position to a role position, starting a new experience.

The well-rounded Modric has the ability to play as a full-back.

The biggest reliance of He Tianqi for modifying the formation is the existence of Motta.

In terms of team responsibility, Modric is the brain, Toure is the cerebellum, and Chiellini was the brain stem.

The team's organization mainly depends on Modric.

Toure has certain organizational skills.

Chiellini only has a certain passing ability, but is not up to the level of organization.

So Palermo can't use the midfield lineup of Toure + Chiellini.

Motta is a defensive midfielder with strong organizational skills, which exceeds the level of brain stem and even cerebellum and can act as the brain.

Although not as useful as Modric, there is no qualitative difference.

In addition, after the last game, He Tianqi acquired some skills.

【Backer】, player-level skill.

He Tianqi gave it to Motta, which is a magical skill for midfielders. It enhances the positional sense of midfielders and allows them to always appear in the most critical position to block the opponent's passes and breakthroughs.

【Basic confrontation】, player-level skill.

He Tianqi gave this to Mido, who started the game.

In fact, the twin tower formation will not become He Tianqi's commonly used formation. Mido is just a substitute for Tony in his place.

But this cannot be told to Mido directly, otherwise even if the locker room doesn’t explode, Mido will explode.

Including today's first release, it was deliberately made for Mido to see.

In order to prepare for Mi Duo's dish of vinegar, He Tianqi made a large plate of dumplings.

What I mean is, you see, I value you very much.

But after that, He Tianqi will slowly increase his CPU and let him accept the "normalization of being a substitute".

Mido, including Ibrahimovic at this stage, these young "Giant Gods" all have a problem, that is, their ability to fight is not strong.

Waddled.

Insufficient core capabilities.

In addition, they themselves have no intention of polishing their bodies.

They would rather use dribbling, speed and skills to conquer their opponents, as if this is what football is all about.

That’s right, I’m talking about you, professional winger Lukaku!

[Shot Killer: A star-level skill. The goalkeeper's save ability is greatly enhanced, making it easier to save single shots and long shots.]

This skill must be given to Van der Sar, because Handanovic has no skill position.

Van der Sar also got a chance to start today.

[Nine and a half: Star-level skills. Active between nine and ten, a player with both forward and playmaker attributes. The abilities of confrontation, dribbling, ball control, shooting, short pass, etc. are greatly improved]

This skill is given to Mido.

As mentioned before, Mido lacks top-notch confrontation ability, which requires gradual adjustment from multiple dimensions such as skills, training, and player concepts. It cannot be achieved overnight.

During this period, players such as Mido and Ibrahimovic mainly played as number nine and a half.

They are not orthodox fulcrum centers.

Because of this, there was such a big conflict between Mido and Piero last season, because their core playing styles overlapped a lot, and someone had to make sacrifices, but neither side took the initiative to sacrifice.

On the other hand, Ibrahimovic and Totti had the same problem, but Ibrahimovic was smarter and gave up his core interests to Totti.

However, when facing Cassano, Ibrahimovic did not give in.

This is also the main source of conflict between Ibrahimovic and Cassano, the "Roma Twins".

Toni and Mido in the frontcourt both have certain organizational skills. Together with Motta and Toure in the midfield, Palermo's organizational ability is actually very strong.

that's the truth.

……

Monaco, Stade Louis II.

When the game started, Palermo firmly took control of the football.

Although the players from CSKA Moscow were brave, they were clearly lacking in small techniques, were too rough, and were unable to control the ball for long periods of time.

Palermo's main control system today was composed of four big men about 1.9 meters tall. They were not afraid of confrontation at all and controlled the football steadily.

In the eighth minute, CSKA Moscow left winger Zhirkov made an aggressive move and knocked down Modric, resulting in a foul.

This is a Russian international, one of the players of the golden generation including Arshavin, Akinfeev, Ignashevich, Pavlyuchenko, and he played for Chelsea in the future.

Among them, Akinfeev is the goalkeeper of this game.

Ignashevich was the central defender in this game.

In addition, the center forward of this game is Wagner Love, a future Chinese Super League star who was once called the "God of Love".

In the 15th minute, Ribery successfully cut in from the left, pulled out Ignashevich and made a through pass.

He also has a pretty good through ball ability now.

Tony broke into the penalty area, caught up with the football and kicked it across.

Unfortunately, the opponent's other central defender cleared the ball before Mido.

Mido was pressed down by the other party, feeling a little regretful.

But Guardiola on the sidelines was very dissatisfied: "Why didn't he fight? Why didn't he fight for position? His body is obviously capable! He may not have a chance if he hits, but he will definitely have no chance if he doesn't hit!"

He Tianqi shrugged, not surprised by this.

Ibrahimovic is less than thirty-five years old, so there is no need to stay still.

Ignore Mido's height and think of him as Didonato or Iniesta, and his style of play suddenly makes sense.

In the 19th minute, Zhirkov made a straight pass from the left.

Wagner made a forward run and was about to have a one-on-one chance, but Motta, who was returning to defense, tackled the ball from behind and poked it away. He was bold but careful, and had a tall stature and long legs.

In the 21st minute, Toure passed the ball to the right and made a forward run.

Modric passed the ball back to Zaccardo, who passed it diagonally to the middle.

After Motta took two steps forward with the ball, he suddenly fired a long shot.

The football was not controlled and flew into the stands.

This is a good opportunity.

However, it was still 1.5 points short of the eight points that He Tianqi required.

The quality of Motta's long-range shots is still a certain distance away from that of long-range shooting masters.

It can be seen that Motta also knows his identity as the "core of the midfield" and has a relatively high degree of freedom, so he plays relatively relaxed.

If he was just an engineer, he would not have dared to fire that kick just now.

This has both advantages and disadvantages.

In general, there are still many parts that need to be adjusted and fine-tuned with the team.

But they are all minor issues and the merits outweigh the flaws.

This season, Palermo's signings of Mido, Motta and Van der Sar are all [star players].

Moreover, they are basically mid-to-late-stage players, not far from the [top-tier star level].

Xielu and Viana are [Top Five League Level Players], but they are not far from [Star-level Players].

Hamsik is the most immature, only at the [secondary league level].

In the 26th minute, Ribery dribbled to attract the enemy, Grosso received the pass from the side and made a cross from the bottom.

Toni headed the ball, but it went a little high due to the influence of Ignashevich.

The cross-header cooperation between Grosso and Toni has become one of the classic cooperations of Palermo and the Italian team.

In the 29th minute, Palermo continued its offensive wave.

After Ribery failed to challenge the opponent, he passed the ball back to Motta.

Motta made a long pass to Modric.

After receiving the ball, Modric made a fake breakthrough, shook off Zhirkov who was rushing towards him, and then made a cross.

boom!
CSKA Moscow's central defender once again overpowered Mido and cleared the ball with a header.

Mido's heading ability is not consistent with his height.

There are many players in Palermo who are around 1.9 meters tall, but Mido's header is probably the worst among them.

He had no desire to compete for the header.

boom!
The football flew to the outside, but Yaya Toure, who was in a relatively high position, stopped the ball with his chest and then kicked the ball back with a long shot.

when!
The football hit the crossbar and bounced off.

"Oh! What a pity! Palermo has already attacked the goal at least five times so far."

"They had a strong attack, but they always fell short a little bit."

"CSKA Moscow has been beaten to the point where it has no chance of fighting back."

"But if Palermo keeps gaining the upper hand but fails to score, it is possible that there will be loopholes in the defense and they will be counterattacked."

The commentator hadn’t finished speaking.

In the 32nd minute, CSKA Moscow launched a counterattack.

Modric was brought down by Zhirkov again.

As a result, the referee indicated that there was no foul.

Modric rolled on the ground in anger and stood up with his hands spread out, looking quite dissatisfied.

boom!
Zhirkov advanced and then made a through pass.

This time Wagner seized the opportunity, ran out for a solo shot and challenged Van der Sar!

boom!
Wagner took the shot.

But the next moment, Van der Sar made a save and blocked the ball.

Barzagli then chased back and cleared the ball.

Wagner knelt on his knees, holding his head, unable to believe it.

"Van der Sar! He has done a great job!"

"He saved Wagner's one-on-one shot and performed very well."

"Returning to Serie A, Van der Sar seems to have become more stable. If it weren't for his impetuous shortcomings when he was young at Juventus, he would definitely be a top-notch goalkeeper."

"He Tianqi made another good deal."

"CSKA Moscow failed to capitalise on what was by far the best chance of the match."

In the 38th minute, Mido withdrew from the fiercely contested penalty area.

Ribery followed He Tianqi's instructions and passed the ball to Mido in time.

Mido made a pass towards the football, then caught up with the football, pulled the ball, passed through the crotch of the central defender who was defending him, and broke into the penalty area with a show that made people's scalp tingle.

This level of elegance is comparable to Arteta when he was still in Palermo.

In the current Palermo team, I am afraid that only Ribery can perform such a move with ease.

"Here!" Tony asked for the ball on the left side of the penalty area, with no one defending him.

But before he could finish his words, Mido caught up with the football and shot.

However, because Ignashevich blocked the shooting angle on the side, Akinfeev successfully saved the ball.

Tony waved his hand in regret.

Mido didn't feel much, he was just upset that he couldn't score a goal.

"This kind of player deserves to die!" Guardiola made another comment.

According to his personality, he must deal with players like Mido.

But He Tianqi signaled Guardiola to stay calm and do a good job of recording.

At least Mido created a threat this time.

After this, CSKA Moscow will definitely pay more attention to Mido.

Isn't this a chance for others?

"Mido, pass the ball more and pay attention to the distribution in the next few times." He Tianqi shouted to Mido from a distance.

Mido nodded to indicate that he had received it.

Guardiola was not optimistic about this kind of greeting: "What's the use? He will listen to you once or twice at most, and forget about it after three or five minutes."

"A dog will always eat shit. There is no hope for this kind of player."

He Tianqi smiled and said, "Then seize these three to five minutes!"

After saying that, he gestured to Modric and other veteran players.

Take the initiative to attack!
In the 41st minute, Ribery dribbled to attract the defense and then passed the ball back, and Motta made the usual pass to Modric.

Modric made a fake pass without stopping the ball, then kicked the ball several meters forward, showing a rare burst of speed.

The opponent's left back was shaken off and then chased after him in a panic.

As a result, near the baseline, Modric, who was caught up, braked suddenly, then kicked the ball with his right foot.

Crotchless!

Modric passed the ball outside the baseline and entered the penalty area!

There was a burst of cheers at the scene.

Guardiola on the sidelines almost popped his eyes out.

What the hell...are you sure it’s not Ribery, Robben, Ronaldo, or Quaresma?
Can Modric be so good?

He Tianqi was confident.

nonsense!

If Modric can't perform, why did He Tianqi put him on the right midfielder?
Not to mention the midfield position, Modric's technical ability is enough to handle the role of winger or shadow striker.

Stop looking at people with old eyes.

He is a serious hexagonal player.

"Here, here!"

In the penalty area, Mido was very excited. He kept waving for the ball and running forward.

Modric looked at Mido and made a reverse triangle pass.

Tony, who was fighting against the opponent's defensive players, suddenly went to the backcourt, broke away from the meat-grinding line, received the ball and shot near the penalty spot.

It's not violent, but it's accurate and fast.

The football flew into the goal and hit the side net!
Akinfeev half-knelt and stretched out his hands, but failed to complete the save.

"GOAL! Tony!"

"As expected of Italy's starting center forward! Tony changed the score to one to zero!"

"In the first half, Palermo shot more than ten times, but CSKA Moscow's defense was very resilient."

“It wasn’t until more than 40 minutes that Palermo broke through.”

"In this case, both sides should make adjustments during the halftime break."

"As we all know, Palermo's offensive explosiveness is very strong. Once they gain the advantage, it is easy for them to snowball."

"According to statistics, in the last ten games where they scored first, they won in the end!"

"Here it comes! Palermo's iconic celebration, Siuuuuuu!"

The Palermo players jumped up one after another, like fish emerging from a pond to breathe.

As we all know, when fish pop up, it often means that a rainstorm is coming!

……

In the 45th minute, Ribery dribbled the ball at high speed from the left and ate up the defender to get to the bottom line.

But he didn't cross the ball because Tony was the only one near the small penalty area.

Mido was at the penalty spot and did not participate in the confrontation.

The cross will most likely be cleared by the opponent.

So Ribery passed the ball back to Grosso who was standing further back.

At this time, Mido started to move forward, attracting the attention of the defensive players.

However, Grosso swept the ball across without stopping it, without even looking at Mido, and passed the ball to the top of the arc.

boom!
Yaya Toure didn't need any adjustments and kicked the ball directly.

Unguarded, at the top of the arc, with a comfortable pass, this is an eight-point opportunity!

Swish!
The football flew past Mido's body as he turned to ask for the ball, leaving only disbelief in Mido's eyes.

The next moment, the football went straight into the net with very high quality.

"GOAL! Two to zero!"

"Toure scored a beautiful goal!"

"Mido and Tony pulled away the defenders, CSKA Moscow's center is empty and we can drive a tank!"

"The long-range shooting ability of Palermo's midfielders is underestimated. This is an offensive team where almost all players can shoot!"

"As someone who has watched Palermo's rise, I have to say that the players in this team have grown very fast."

"They had a clear technical advantage against CSKA Moscow."

On the field, Palermo players celebrated enthusiastically, and Mido couldn't blame his teammates for not passing the ball to him.

Soon after, the referee blew the whistle and the first half of the game ended.

Both sides returned to the locker room.

He Tianqi emphasized the importance of self-protection to everyone, asking them to be careful not to be injured by fouls from the other side.

As a weak team, we must intensify our confrontation when we fall behind.

Then He Tianqi specifically found Mido and asked him to expand his running range, try to get the ball more often, and play to his strengths.

But then He Tianqi told Ribery and Modric that when there were good opportunities, they should not look for Mido, but instead make use of his ability to draw the ball and create threats.

When there is no chance or Mido retreats very deep, you can pass the ball to him.

Focus on high emotional intelligence.

In this way, Mido will not feel that he has no ball, but in fact he is excluded from threatening attacks every time, which will not affect the team's performance at critical moments.

If you were replaced by smart people like Modric and Guardiola, they would immediately know that they were fooled.

But when it came to Mido, he was so happy.

This is the art of getting along with people.

You have to get along with the other person in a way that they can sense.

The most typical example is in various gangster movies, where the boss takes his younger brothers to eat and drink the best food, spend money like water, and win the hearts of many people.

But in fact, when it came to distributing dividends to his younger brothers, he was very stingy. He gave his younger brothers tens of thousands of dollars out of millions of dollars for drinking.

On the contrary, there are some honest leaders who teach their younger brothers to study hard, build up businesses and clear their reputations.

But the latter type of boss is often not understood, and instead is overthrown by the former type of boss.

This is because the gangsters are poorly educated and ignorant, so they cannot see the importance of sustainable development, cannot feel deep-seated kindness, and can only absorb superficial emotions.

He Tianqi didn't mean to fool Mi Duo.

He will find ways to improve Mido's depth in the future.

But at the current stage, he must first make Mido work for himself before he can proceed to the next step of transformation and ultimately help Mido change his career.

If Mido does not cooperate, He Tianqi will not waste his words, as there will be plenty of opportunities to make adjustments during the winter transfer window.

……

In the second half, Mido was very active, often leaving the penalty area and even retreating to his own half to hold the ball.

It seems that he can get whatever he wants.

And his personal skills are indeed good. In the midfield, it is almost impossible for the opponent to steal the ball from him one-on-one.

If the opponent presses, Motta, Toure and Modric from Palermo will give him sufficient support.

For a moment, Palermo firmly controlled the ball.

In the 53rd minute, CSKA Moscow couldn't stand it anymore and launched a fierce pressing in the midfield.

Keep pressing all the way to the backcourt.

Mido retreated all the way and finally passed the ball back to the goalkeeper under the command of Motta.

boom!
Van der Sar kicked the ball.

Toni successfully won the header and headed the ball to Toure on the side.

Toure made a long pass to Ribery and Palermo organized an attack.

Mido quickly ran back from the backcourt and actively responded to Ribery, meaning that he asked Ribery to pass the ball forward and he would move forward to launch an attack.

However, Ribery directly passed the ball inside and used Mido's running to rush to the top of the penalty area.

The opponent's midfielder and defender immediately rushed over. This area had been emphasized by the head coach during the half-time break, and Palermo players must not be allowed to hold the ball at the top of the arc.

boom!
Ribery made a lob pass to the back post.

Modric swept the ball in from the right side of the penalty area without stopping.

Tony pushed the defender away and stretched out his foot to shoot.

Ignashevich was attracted by Mido who ran into the penalty area without the ball, allowing Toni to win a relatively relaxed one-on-one environment.

Akinfeev dived for the ball, but once again he was not faster than the ball.

"GOAL! Tony again! He scored twice, very efficient!"

"Three to zero! This is what we said before, Palermo is a team with strong offensive explosiveness!"

"Once they score a goal, they tend to score consecutive goals in a short period of time."

"AC Milan lost both games and two championships because of this!"

Looking at his teammates celebrating passionately, Mido always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.

Obviously, he had the ball much longer than Tony, and his participation was even comparable to that of a core player, but why did he feel isolated from the team at crucial moments?
CSKA Moscow has the same feeling.

They clearly held down Mido who was performing well, but why did they concede more goals?

On the sidelines, He Tianqi made an early substitution, replacing the goal scorer Toni with Van Persie.

Tony was not obsessed with scoring goals, as he knew that He Tianqi's substitutions were to preserve his energy.

Two days later, Serie A will open and Palermo will face the first round of challenges.

This season, they will not give up the league.

The main players and substitute players will be used together.

Rather than the rough rotation of all main players and all substitutes like last season.

With Van Persie coming on the pitch, Palermo's formation changed from 442 back to the regular 433.

Ribery, Mido and Van Persie form the front trident.

Modric, Motta and Toure are the three midfielders.

The ball passed from Motta to Modric.

In the 58th minute, Modric passed the ball to Ribery on the sideline, but the opponent's defender followed very closely. In the end, Modric deliberately kicked the ball to the opponent and asked for a corner kick.

As a result, the opponent directly pushed Modric and expressed anger at such despicable behavior.

The two sides clashed at one point, and players such as Ribery, Grosso, Motta, Van Persie, Toure and others rushed to the scene of the crime and confronted the other side.

Instead, Mido was standing by leisurely, with no intention of standing up for Modric.

He didn't think he needed to take the lead in this matter, as it wasn't him who started the conflict.

"Mido, what are you doing? Go over there! Protect your teammates! You are a team!" Guardiola angrily accused Mido on the sidelines.

Mido's face turned red and he walked towards the scene with dissatisfaction.

He Tianqi took a look at Guardiola's notebook, which also recorded Mido's point.

To Mido, He Tianqi mainly plays the good guy and is a warm father.

Guardiola is responsible for playing the good guy and is the villain who uses chicken feathers as a token of authority.

boom!
Modric took a corner kick.

Vidic's header went wide.

Palermo made another substitution.

Toure was replaced by the "new Zidane" Xierou.

Obviously, He Tianqi needs to use more formal games to evaluate the players introduced this summer.

In the 64th minute, Motta made a long pass to Van Persie.

After receiving the ball, Van Persie immediately changed direction with his heel, cut inside, and used his speed to overpower the opponent.

boom!
Van Persie made a diagonal pass to Mido.

He completed his tactical mission beautifully and continued to move forward.

Mido can pass the ball to Van Persie through the wall, or he can pass it to the other side.

Modric would choose to shoot from a distance or pass the ball directly to Ribery, allowing him to attack closer to the goal.

But Mido dribbled the ball, dodged the opponent's attempt to steal the ball, and created space to shoot.

During this period, Van Persie, Ribery, Modric and others in Palermo's frontcourt all stood still and could not continue to move, so they could only watch Mido's performance.

The opposing defensive players also returned to their positions one after another, and the goalkeeper was fully prepared and blocked Mido's shot.

"Why didn't you tell Van Persie?" He Tianqi asked Guardiola.

Guagua was very nervous.

He did forget, and at the same time, he became less and less fond of big technical centers like Mido.

Poor Ibrahimovic has to take the blame and will not have any good results under Guardiola in the future.

Modric took a tactical corner kick.

Xielu did not pass the ball immediately, but instead feinted his feet, trying to deceive the opponent before dealing with the problem later.

But in fact, this is meaningless. After shaking off the opponent, the best chance is still to cross the ball.

boom!
The opponent's defensive action was very large and knocked down Xielu.

The referee did not call a foul.

The other side took this opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Wagner got another chance in the frontcourt, and this time he redeemed himself and scored successfully.

After losing the ball, Van der Sar rushed into his own goal and kicked the ball away to express his dissatisfaction.

The clean sheet award that was in my hands was gone just like that.

"Oh! Three to one, CSKA Moscow seems to still have a chance!"

"It was Cheyrou's mistake that led to Palermo's goal."

"Although he and Toure are both 1.9 meters tall, his confrontation ability is obviously not as good as Toure. And his handling of the football is far less clean and neat than Toure."

He Tianqi told the players to calm down and prepare for the next defense, but he did not blame Xie Lu.

He knows the performance of these players.

If it's still like this in the middle of the season, he'll sell one of them.

But now, everyone can show more, and the more exposure, the more modifications can be made.

In the 71st minute, Ribery failed to break through on the left and passed the ball back to Modric.

After receiving the ball, Modric signaled Mido to move forward and pretended to pass the ball over the top.

After a feint, he passed the ball sideways and completed the pass.

Modric dribbled horizontally continuously and called for support from Xerou on the other side, preparing to pass the ball to Xerou.

The defensive player immediately moved towards Xielu, so that if Modric really passed the ball to Xielu, he could grab the ball first.

boom!
At the top of the penalty area, facing the goal, Modric suddenly took a cold shot in front of Xie Lu on the right.

His eyes were clearly on Xie Lu, and he didn't even look at the goal.

But he shot it.

The fake moves are superb!
A good opportunity to steal!

Swish!
Akinfeev had never been so embarrassed in his life.

There was no response throughout the process.

Not only him, but all the defenders in their penalty area did not make any interfering moves.

Modric's no-look-shot controlled the opponent for one second.

The football flew into the goal post, stirring up countless white waves.

"GOAL! Modric made a sudden attack!"

“This player is so smart!”

"Four to one! Palermo has re-established its lead."

"Modric's world-class goal was very timely, and he put out the flames of CSKA Moscow's counterattack!"

"Everyone thought he was going to pass the ball, because passing the ball is what he is best at, but don't forget, when Palermo needs a goal, Modric can steal one for you!"

"Okay, there are Palermo players preparing on the sidelines again."

"He Tianqi used Palermo's last substitution."

"Viana, who is known as the new Rui Costa, replaced Ribery. He can play in multiple positions on the wing, as well as in attacking midfielder, midfielder, etc!"

He Tianqi then gestured to Modric, asking him to retreat, focus on organization, conserve his energy and avoid injury.

With the ball in the frontcourt, Modric immediately found Motta and conveyed the message.

In this way, the ball possession in Palermo's midfield and frontcourt is mainly shared by Viana, Sheru, Mido and others.

The result was also obvious, CSKA Moscow frequently got opportunities to counterattack.

The "Palermo Three" are all big ball owners, but they all lack "failure education". They do not consider their own positions or the current timing, and what consequences will it bring to the team if they lose the ball.

Similar to the early Modric and the future B Fee.

In the 79th minute, Vidic headed the ball away from Zhirkov's cross.

Grosso passed the ball to Viana.

Viana quickly advanced with the ball and launched a counterattack.

He has very delicate footwork, good speed and high flexibility.

After being pressed in the middle, Viana turned and passed the ball horizontally. Modric rushed up and made a long pass to the front right without stopping the ball.

Van Persie successfully stopped the ball at high speed. He saw Xie Lu coming from behind with his peripheral vision, so he gave up the idea of ​​cutting inside, kicked the ball sideways, and then continued to move forward as usual.

While running, Xie Lu raised his right foot and made a shooting gesture, then pushed the ball to the left, shook off the defender, and shot after getting closer to the penalty area.

Swish!
The football hit the blind corner of the goal.

The quality of this shot is very high.

"Oh! Xielu scored!"

"Five to one! Palermo is secure!"

"In fact, even fewer people were optimistic about CSKA Moscow in this European Super Cup."

"The Italian Super Cup a few days ago was a bigger test for Palermo."

"We have mentioned before that Xielu is not as good as Toure, but in terms of the delicacy of handling football, Xielu is worse than Toure, and he has very good organizational skills."

"Without high-intensity confrontation, Xie Lu's performance is completely worthy of the title of the new Zidane!"

Xie Lu scored his first goal for Palermo and celebrated wildly after the goal, as if Liverpool had delayed him.

Guardiola quickly wrote the words "King of training matches" in his notebook.

What this means is that Xie Lu performs very well in a non-confrontational state. He is a big guy of 1.9 meters, but he has great foot feel. He is simply a midfield version of Mido.

But his ability and willingness to fight are similar to Mido's, both very weak.

Considering that there will be more fights in the midfield, it is normal that Xie Lu failed to play well in the Premier League.

In the 85th minute, Zhirkov took a corner kick and Vidic cleared the ball with a header.

In the 92nd minute, the game was about to end.

Palermo got the ball and launched an attack.

Viana held the ball on the wing, moving laterally and making a crossing run with Modric.

The players of CSKA Moscow had no time to do defensive operations and they all followed Viana, trying to steal the ball.

So after Modric made the cross, the ball was left empty.

He thought Viana was going to pass the ball.

It turned out not to be.

Modric was in a wide open position but didn't get the ball. This is simply a horror story for Palermo!
A strange phenomenon that has not been seen in Palermo for three years!
But Viana had good skills and escaped from the double-team with a fried meatball.

The other party could only reach out and pull him down.

Viana poked the ball out before falling to the ground.

Xie Lu rushed towards the football, and with a Marseille turn, he took control of the ball before his opponent, as if Zidane was possessed by him.

Then he pulled and flicked the ball, trying to imitate Mido's previous move and penetrate the opponent's crotch.

As a result, the other party was unreasonable and violently knocked Xie Lu over.

The referee had the whistle in his mouth early on, but never blew it.

Because the ball is still on Palermo's side.

Mido retreated, knocked the ball with his heel, then turned around and passed the ball again. It was so beautiful that it was scary!
He rushed into the penalty area, caught up with the ball, and raised his foot...

The result was not a shot, but a fake shot.

He also wanted to shake off the last defender.

As a result, how could the Russians bear to watch it?
One, two, three, do they all think they are the king of football?

boom!
Ignashevich made a direct sideways tackle and knocked Mido down.

In a flash, within a short period of time, three Palermo players each made outstanding performances, and then were knocked down one by one by the opponent.

The scene was extremely shocking.

beep!

The referee finally blew the whistle!
Point your finger at the penalty spot!
At the same time, Ignashevich was shown a red card.

There was no way CSKA Moscow could argue.

If we have to count the numbers, the players who brought down Viana and Xie Lu should also receive yellow cards.

And one of them already had a yellow card.

So there is no point in arguing with the referee.

In addition, at this point in time, the result would be the same whether a penalty was awarded or not.

Otherwise, they wouldn't hold a grudge against those three idiots who showed off their skills.

He Tianqi looked very excited and complained to the fourth referee, demanding that all players who committed fouls be given cards.

But in fact, he was already very satisfied with the result.

The game was also won.

The shortcomings of the new players were also exposed.

This is the best result.

Judging from the performance of Viana, Sheru and Mido, even if there were three balls on the field, they might not be enough for them to play with.

These guys all have a very strong desire to hold the ball.

And the paradox is that they are all players who really need the ball at their feet to perform better.

Not only did He Tianqi not hate this characteristic of theirs, but his eyes lit up.

If they are brushed well, bah... if they are trained well, each of them will be the core of the frontcourt and the cornerstone of the team.

They can all be sold at sky-high prices!

"Huh?" He Tianqi noticed that Mido was staring at the football in Modric's hand.

After Toni and Ribery left the team, Modric became the team's penalty taker.

This is……

Want a penalty?

Soon, Xielu also passed by.

He said that his feet felt very good and he wanted to take the penalty.

Two 1.9-meter-tall men surrounded Modric, and the scene was very strange.

Viana is ready to make a move. Mido can do it, Shelu can do it, so why can't I?

You are the "new Van Basten" and the "new Zidane", and I am also the "new Rui Costa"!

He Tianqi immediately asked Barzagli to go to the frontcourt.

"Luca, what's going on?" Barzagli pushed Xie Lu away with murderous intent. He seemed to be talking to Modric, but in fact he was staring at Mido.

Mido felt frightened by being stared at.

When he was playing for Juventus, he had a fight with Barzagli because of a conflict on the field, well... if being beaten can be considered a fight.

Mido subconsciously took a step back.

"It's okay." Modric said this, but he had already made note of Mido and Shelu in his heart.

It seems that during future training, it is time to let these new friends know whose surname Sicily is named after!
He, Luka Modric, will never allow others to covet his penalty kicks.

You've crossed the line, woman!
As the two big men were leaving, Van Persie ran over.

Just when everyone was worried, Van Persie squatted down and cleared the mud from the penalty spot with his hands.

After playing for more than 90 minutes, the grass has been damaged. If we are not careful, it is likely to affect the penalty kick.

For example, flying.

The word "emotional intelligence" jumps out of the paper, forming a sharp contrast with Mido and Xielu.

Modric smiled with satisfaction.

Xiao Fan is pretty good. In this game, he ran and passed the ball without complaint, without fighting or competing. Where is the anxious, arrogant and stupid person he was a year ago?

I will definitely talk to my head coach dad later and ask him to arrange the role of the fourth penalty taker for Van Persie.

Ten seconds later, Modric found Van Persie to celebrate together.

"Six to one! Modric scored a penalty kick and completed his brace!"

"The referee blew the whistle to end the game."

"Congratulations to Palermo, they successfully defended the European Super Cup!"

"This is also the eleventh championship trophy that He Tianqi has won for this team!"

"Too strong! They are simply championship harvesters!"

"They are worthy of the honor of the star on their chests!"

"At this rate of harvest, Palermo will be able to reach two stars in three years!"

"Modric scored two goals and made one assist, and was named the best player of the game!"

"The awards ceremony is being prepared. It's a perfect start to the new season for Palermo!"

"After winning five titles last season, they have now won four. Although they lost one league title, they have upgraded the UEFA Cup to the Champions League! They have won all the cup competitions they participated in last season and are truly the kings of cup competitions!"

“Can they continue their glory and win the championship this season?”

"Especially in the league, can they achieve a breakthrough? Let's lock on the first round of Serie A in two days, see you there!"
