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

Chapter 16: National Youth Teammates All Over the World

Turin Sports Daily even published an extremely insulting composite picture.

The picture shows five people being trampled under the feet of several fighters wearing Perugia's home jerseys.

The people being stepped on were photoshopped into He Tianqi, Modric and others.

The caption reads: "The death of Pope Ho Apocalypse and his Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!"

Because in the next game, Palermo will challenge Perugia away.

Perugia is obviously very satisfied with the optimism of Turin Sports Daily, and they announced the roster for the next game in advance.

All the main players of the team are here!
Obviously, the second leg of the Italian Cup quarter-finals has become the focus of Italian fans' attention.

Most people watched it with a sarcastic attitude.

They wondered whether He Tianqi would make changes to his "title" after Palermo's loss.

For example, some extreme Juventus fans believe that He Tianqi should be called "Turin Judas".

Even some fans in Palermo think that He Tianqi is too arrogant.

Brother, wake up, we are in Serie C.

Even if someone insults our players, you can't fight back so strongly!
Look how much trouble you have caused everyone!
……

[Ding! You won three consecutive victories and received rewards:]

[Basic outside foot: Player-level skill. Improves the player's ability to handle the ball with the outside of the foot.]

There is no doubt that He Tianqi gave this skill to Modric.

Modric is incomplete without his "outside instep".

In a sense, a player with the outside of his foot is like a natural cripple who becomes a bipedal monster, and the threat is directly increased by an order of magnitude.

Boom boom boom!
Someone knocked on He Tianqi's office door.

"Come in." He Tianqi was not very surprised to see the newcomer, because even if the newcomer didn't come to see him, he would have wanted to talk to him. "Please sit down, Dani, would you like some tea?"

"I remember that when I was in the national youth team, you were one of the few people who could accept Chinese tea."

Daniele DiDonato shook his head expressionlessly: "No, He. I came to you today to talk to you about my playing time."

He Tianqi nodded and motioned for the other party to continue.

DiDonato said: "I am the core of the team's midfield and one of the strongest players in this team."

"You can't always take me off at half-time, I can do more for the team."

"And this kind of substitution is an insult to me. You have been a professional player, you should understand this."

"So... do you have any problem with me? Do you want to kick me out of Palermo? Just like you kicked me out of the national youth team?"

He Tianqi shook his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, Dani, you think too much."

DiDonato's expression became better now: "If you don't want to drive me away, why do you..."

He Tianqi interrupted, "What I mean is that you left the National Youth Team purely because of your lack of ability. It has nothing to do with my personal opinion."

DiDonato was so angry that he felt like fucking jackass.

You will explain.

But he had to admit that it was true.

He was only selected for one national youth team, but hardly got a chance to play. Although he was one of He Tianqi's substitutes, they did not form a competitive relationship.

In comparison, He Tianqi's record in the national youth team is extremely brilliant.

In his early years, he was a junior player in the national youth team. He joined the national youth team of Nesta, Pirlo and Buffon at a younger age by two years, and won the championship with the team. Later, he stayed in the national youth team and became the captain of the national youth team, and also led the team to win the U19 European Cup.

Later on, he was never able to enter the adult national team and became a veteran in the youth team, being caught up and overtaken by new young talents.

Therefore, He Tianqi’s teammates in the National Youth Team are all over the world.

From football superstars, to Serie A top stars, to the Zhongyongs of Serie B and Serie C, they are all his "classmates".

Including Perugia's striker Miccoli, and Palermo's Death Knight Quagliarella, they were all He Tianqi's teammates in the national youth team in a certain period.

But DiDonato, Miccoli and Quagliarella did not know each other, and they had never been in the same national youth team.

Seeing that DiDonato was getting angry, He Tianqi stopped joking and said, "Seriously, Dani, you know your own situation better than anyone else."

"Do you think you are suitable to play as a central midfielder?"

“Do you think you have organizational skills?”

DiDonato's face froze.

You can't deceive yourself.

His skills meet the requirements of a midfield core, but his vision and awareness are not up to standard.

Compared with strategizing, he prefers dribbling and shooting.

He Tianqi: "As a former genius, you should at least play in Serie A, not Serie C."

"But if you continue to play in the heart of Palermo's midfield, I think you might even play in Serie D."

"The problem is not your ability, but your positioning of yourself."

"You're on the wrong track!"

He Tianqi took out the tactical whiteboard and wrote something with a pen: "The most threatening player in our team right now is definitely Ribery. He is much stronger than the others."

"You should be able to feel it."

"Ribery is absolutely strong on the right, but if you handle the ball slowly, you will waste this advantage. Modric will not do that, so in order to activate Ribery, Modric must be in the middle and must have a lot of ball possession."

"But our left side cannot be completely without offensive capabilities."

"Tian Can Jiao will eventually be targeted."

"And with your skills, you can definitely create threats on the left. As long as you have the right teammates, it won't be difficult to play on both wings in Serie C or even Serie B."

DiDonato's eyes lit up.

From the core of the midfield to the left forward, although his tactical importance has been downgraded, he at least retains his main position and will not be replaced at halftime.

Moreover, maybe I am more adapted to this side and can play better, even... not worse than Ribery over there?

But He Tianqi immediately responded with a cold response: "But there is a premise, that is, the left side is always our weak spot, and you have to take on a lot of defensive work."

"Of course, it's not just you. Our left back, including the left striker Quagliarella, all need to take on defensive tasks."

"The team's offensive and defensive resources are never evenly distributed, you must understand that."

DiDonato frowned.

If we also have to take on defensive tasks, it would be a bit of a loss of face.

Wait, isn't that Arturo the left forward?
Why is He Tianqi talking about Quagliarella?
Could it be?

"That's right, Arturo's movement is not very active and can't meet my tactical requirements." He Tianqi said bluntly, "I gave him many chances, but he didn't change at all."

"Therefore, from the next game onwards, Quagliarella will be the team's starting striker."
