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

Chapter 160 The only true core Mido, Italy advances to the World Cup finals
Bild: "Palermo won the European Super Cup again, this time they are the real kings of Europe!"

Kicker: "Eleven championships in three years, the power of Emperor He remains unshakable! As long as He Tianqi is still in the team, Palermo can trade any player without affecting the team's combat effectiveness!"

Sky Sports: "Amazing coach! Xie Lu came back to life under He Tianqi, and Viana returned to spirituality in Palermo!"

Turin Sports Daily: "Mido remains a lone wolf. Palermo won the European Super Cup but is destined to lose Serie A!"

"Corriere dello Sport": "Choice is more important than hard work! Ibrahimovic worked hard for a season but lacked team honors. Mido joined Palermo and won two championships in two games!"

[Ding! You led your team to win the European Super Cup and received the rewards "Basic Long Shot", "Pull and Turn", "Quick Start", "Commander Tower", and "Falcon 6"]

[Commander Tower: Star-level skill. The player's defensive and passing abilities are improved, and the player's long pass ability is greatly improved]

Obviously, [Commander Tower] is a skill for midfielders.

He Tianqi gave Motta the first chance, so that Motta really became the "commander" of Palermo's backcourt.

[Falcon 6] was also given to Motta, which increases the feel of his feet and the accuracy of his passes and shots. Motta uses it very frequently.

Of course, this is because he is now on "serious injury exemption".

If he is out of the exemption period, he will definitely be given the [Red and Green Double Stars] to reduce the chance of injury.

[Basic Long Shot] To Viana, he is basically a high-end version of DiDonato.

[Pull the ball and turn] is assigned to Xielu. His playing style is more classical, and flexibility is very important to his playing style.

In fact, his height of 1.90 meters, which is perfect for a central midfielder, is actually a burden.

If he were ten centimeters shorter, he might have performed much better.

Modric: Give it to me! Give me the extra ones!

[Quick Start] was assigned to Mido.

Since you like to show off, it is very necessary to improve your explosive power.

Otherwise, even if you pass the person, the other party will catch up quickly, which makes it meaningless.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on He Tianqi's office door.

It's Mido.

He Tianqi instructed Mido to sit down, and then handed him a report: "This is what Guardiola just gave me. It contains some of your strengths and weaknesses during training and games."

"He thinks you have big problems and a lot of things that need to be fixed."

Mido's face turned ugly in an instant and he began to look through the reports.

The more you turn, the uglier it gets.

"This is impossible!" Mido was filled with righteous indignation. "Reduce the impact on the opponent's defense when holding the ball? Then won't I be able to threaten the opponent's goal?"

"What's the point of such a striker?"

"If I am not allowed to hold the ball a lot and become a mediocre striker like Luca Toni, I would rather die! There is no joy in playing football like this!"

"Guardiola is a big idiot! He doesn't understand football at all! He is a Barcelona player, he is a disgrace to technical football!"

On the training ground downstairs, Guardiola kept sneezing.

Which evil person is harming me again?
He Tianqi nodded: "Yes, I don't agree with his point of view, so I came to talk to you. I personally think that your footwork and extraordinary ideas are world-class, and you must bring them out, otherwise it will be a loss for world football."

Mido's eyes lit up: "I knew you would be able to see my shining point! Lippi also wanted me to give up dribbling. They don't know how amazing a center forward like me would be after possessing skills!"

He Tianqi smiled slightly: "That's right! So I designed a tactic for you to retreat and hold the ball, and let other players cooperate with you."

"You will be the absolute core of the team's offensive line."

Mido was so excited that he almost jumped up!
He was in the right place!
core!

Palermo can give what Juventus can't give.

What Lippi cannot appreciate, He Tianqi can appreciate!

This is like a thousand-mile horse meeting a good horse trainer!

"But..." He Tianqi advised Mido to stay calm.

Generally speaking, people can be divided into two types: pessimistic and optimistic.

Optimistic people only listen to what comes before “but”.

Pessimistic people only listen to what comes after “however”.

Those who are brainless are mostly the former, and those who think too much are often the latter.

Mido obviously has no brains.

"But it takes time for the team to get used to each other and practice new tactics." He Tianqi handed Mido a "Tactical System Book" tailored for Mido and asked him to check it, meaning that I didn't fool you, and then began to fool him, "Before that, we still have many strong opponents."

"We can't use an immature system to deal with them, even if there are talented players like you in the system."

"So now you have two choices."

"One is to learn Toni's playing style as much as possible, and then replace the substitute and become Palermo's starting center."

"The good thing is that you can become a starter for Palermo in the shortest possible time, because with your talent, it is not difficult to imitate Toni's playing style."

"The downside is that I'm worried that this style of play will drain your talent and make you mediocre."

"Look at Ibrahimovic of Roma. He chose this pragmatic style of play, but he gradually lost his edge."

Mido kept nodding his head, and he liked everything that was stepping on Ibrahimovic.

He Tianqi: "The second is that you come on as a substitute, but once you are on the field, the team will revolve around you. When the time is right, the team's tactics will completely change to this one."

"Which one do you personally prefer?"

Mido even rushed to answer: "The second one! The second one!"

He Tianqi said solemnly: "You have to think it over carefully, Mido. I respect geniuses 100%, and you have the absolute right to choose freely."

"But once we make the choice, we must succeed on this path. No matter what difficulties arise during the process, I will not give up, and I will not allow you to give up either."

"That's why many players became top-notch players and even world stars under my guidance."

"I have to tell you, the second way may take a long time. Maybe half a season, maybe a whole season."

"Because not all your teammates have the talent like you and can adapt to the style of play with you as the core. You have to give them more time, not for them, but for you."

Mido was already numb. He could only hear the first half of whatever He Tianqi said, and could only hear He Tianqi's recognition of him.

What core, genius, talent, world superstar.

As for the rest, who cares?

Mido vowed: "No problem! I understand what you mean. Before the team's tactics with me as the core are fully mature, I will definitely do what I should do and serve as a substitute for Tony without any complaints!"

He Tianqi smiled and added: "Very good, the future is yours, Mido. If you can really do all this, then I can make the decision and let you start when facing Roma! No matter how far the tactical drills with you as the core are! Because I must let the world know that Mido is far better than Ibrahimovic!"

Mido's eyes instantly turned red.

He really made me cry to death!
From this moment on, He Tianqi became the person Mido respected the most, even more than his parents.

After the training that day, Mido returned to his residence and his agent found him, wanting to discuss the winter transfer window with him.

The agent believes that it will be difficult for Mido to replace Toni as a starter in Palermo, and his playing style does not fit with Palermo. He hopes that Mido will transfer to a Ligue 1 team.

Of course, after the transfer is successful, the agent can get some kickbacks, but this is the part that Mido doesn't know.

However, Mido refused.

He told his agent about He Tianqi's plan.

The agent immediately said that He Tianqi was just fooling you and he just wanted you to be a hardworking substitute.

But Mido didn't believe what the agent said, because the confidential tactical information given to him by He Tianqi contained very clear tactical instructions.

Mido was asked to hold the ball as much as possible and was given a lot of freedom.

You can use excellent technology to challenge the opponent's defense one-on-one or even one-on-many.

Can also go to any position in the midfield.

Go to the midfield, and the ball possession in the midfield will be his.

When he goes to the wing, everyone will actively cooperate with him, overlapping the wing, exchanging positions and so on.

This kind of tactical priority is visible to the naked eye and cannot be faked.

You know, many times forwards with low status and tactical position in the team are not allowed to retreat to the midfield or change positions randomly.

Mido is not stupid. If he hadn't seen these things with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe in any revelation 100%.

The agent was speechless.

He thought He Tianqi must be crazy.

With the current Palermo team's tactical system so complete, they actually tried to build a superstar tactical system with Mido as the core.

This is definitely a tactical downgrade!
Picture what?
If Mido was not only two years younger than He Tianqi, the agent would even suspect whether Mido was He Tianqi's illegitimate child.

This treatment is on the same level as the one that stole the ball from Modric in Palermo.

Of course, before becoming a core player, Mido also had to imitate Tony's playing style appropriately and integrate into the team with a relatively mediocre attitude.

This includes Tony's style of play that creates opportunities for his teammates, as well as his style of play that actively participates in defense, etc.

This was not difficult for Mido.

Because most of these kicking styles are based on physical and height advantages.

Mido already has these, but he just didn't want to use them before.

On the other hand, Guardiola expressed his confusion about He Tianqi's arrangement.

He also thought that He Tianqi was preparing for the possible mass departure of the team's stars a year later.

At that time, the team's offensive system will be rebuilt with Mido as the core.

But the problem is that Mido's personality and his agent who values ​​money over everything else are not good choices for the cornerstone of the team.

This person is too floating and too unstable.

Teams such as Real Madrid, Bayern, Chelsea, Manchester United, Milan and Juventus have made offers for core players such as Ribery, Toni, Vidic and others.

They were also very excited.

But for He Tianqi, he stayed again and again.

Komido would never be like that.

If the system had just been established and a wealthy club made an offer, Mido would most likely leave immediately.

What will the team do then?
Moreover, Mido's playing style is also outrageous. As a center forward, he retreats a lot, holds the ball, and dribbles in various ways. What's the point?
Now Guardiola is mainly responsible for the team's training. His dissatisfaction with Mido will also affect Mido's integration.

So He Tianqi smiled and said, "You know why students who don't make money are often willing to spend money. They spend five or eight thousand yuan on mobile phones and shoes without blinking an eye."

"But after they start working, especially after they get married, they earn more and instead downgrade their spending on these expenses?"

Guardiola shook his head.

He Tianqi: "Buying things, from low to high, satisfies the needs of use, improvement, and social interaction, that is, it can be used, is easy to use, and can be shown off."

"The more needs you can meet without having to pay out of pocket, the better, and that's going to be more expensive."

“But when you earn money yourself and know how hard it is to make money, you have to live within your means and give up the social demand attributes of the product. You can even give up the need for improvement and only meet the need for use.”

"Otherwise, if you try to satisfy a certain social need without satisfying many of your usage needs, you will end up with a lot of problems."

"For example, I don't have a house, I don't have a parking space, I can't afford parking fees and gas, I don't have suitable clothes and jewelry, I can't afford to eat in a better restaurant, I didn't pay for my tuition, but I bought a luxury car."

Seeing Guardiola's eyes gradually blurred, He Tianqi returned to Mido: "Mido is a striker who doesn't create opportunities, so he doesn't know how precious opportunities are."

"When you get to his feet, it's a show if you dribble past him. If the show is successful, it's awesome. If the show is not successful, just do it again next time."

"But let him do more, let him return to the midfield or even the backcourt to support the opponent's stranglehold and pressing. Let him sprint down the wing, cut inside, and face the opponent's flying tackles and collisions."

"He will soon learn how hard it is to get an opportunity."

"Whether it's because he cherishes it or because he's afraid of confrontation, he's bound to learn to pass the ball. His consumption has been downgraded, from playing for vanity to playing to protect the ball."

“That’s the pragmatism I want.”

"Moreover, long-range running will lead to a decline in physical strength. He can dribble continuously in front of the penalty area to squander opportunities. But after he dribbles continuously from the backcourt to the frontcourt, I guarantee that he wants to just kick the ball and shoot more than anyone else."

"A small forward would be exhausted after running a long distance, let alone a big guy like him?"

Guardiola's eyes lit up when he heard this: "After solving the problem of not liking to pass the ball and delaying good shooting opportunities with dribbling, Mido has almost no shortcomings."

"He may even become a more technically advanced and sharper version of Tony, and he will be more capable of breaking the deadlock than Tony when the game is deadlocked!"

He Tianqi nodded.

The center is the lower limit of a team.

Winger is the ceiling of a team.

This statement is actually not accurate.

Super players with outstanding personal abilities are the ceiling of a team.

As for whether he is a center forward or a winger, it’s actually not that important.

Even if he plays as a central midfielder or attacking midfielder, he can still shoulder the team's ceiling.

Players like Mido and Ibrahimovic are definitely super players at the center position.

Tony is one of the top regular center players.

This really is the difference between Benzema and Giroud.

What’s even more terrifying is that the environment can affect people.

The immediate reality can change the poetry and distant future in a person's heart.

Many students with great ideals will lose their ideals after entering society due to the pressure of heavy workload. In the end, they accept jobs that they cannot accept and gradually live the life they hate.

After Mido left the penalty area, he would inevitably be chopped down by the opponent if he used the king's kicking style.

Because fouls far away from the penalty area are not likely to result in a card, and set pieces do not pose much of a threat.

Mido couldn't solve this problem with technology, so he could only rely on his body.

Gain weight, increase confrontation ability, use your body to lean against the opponent to protect the ball, and look for opportunities to break through.

The kicking style will inevitably tend to be body-oriented.

That requires weight gain and core training.

And once he got used to this style of play, he was far away from his former self.

How much does professional winger Lukaku like agile kicking?

But after gaining weight for the team, he also enjoyed the fun of being the king of sticking. In recent years, he has become more and more adept at using his body to gain benefits and create opportunities for his teammates.

This is the inevitable development path of a big center.

No one can escape.

Sooner or later.

...Soon, He Tianqi also found core players such as Modric. After communication, he began to let the team incorporate Mido-centered playing style into training.

For players like Modric, Motta and even Ribery, this couldn't be better.

Finally someone can take their place in the tackle.

They just need to respond and seize the opportunity to steal the chicken.

Although Mido's pass is not very timely and he occasionally tries a one-on-one shot, the flying tackles of Barzagli, Toure and others will teach him when to pass the ball.

Mido initially complained about the high-intensity defense in the training match.

Thinks Guardiola is targeting him.

But Guardiola said that Palermo's training has always been the same as a real game. If you can't even adapt to this intensity, then facing teams like Juventus, Inter Milan, Chelsea and Manchester United, why don't you surrender?

Your place on the field can be given to other, braver players.

Mido had no choice but to pass the ball reluctantly in the midst of danger and fire.

But I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but every time he passes the ball to Modric, Modric will quickly pass it back to him, letting him continue to enjoy the pain of being ravaged by Barzagli and Toure.

This made Mido tell Modric several times to pass the ball to others and seize the opportunity.

Modric said with a smile, I think you have the qualities of a football king, I believe you can outshine Barzali, Toure, Vidic, Carragher, Thiago Silva...

Looking at Mido being tackled again and again, Modric felt much better.

When he got home that night, Modric opened the Bible and wrote: "The blind knight Mido tried to challenge the authority of the knight king Modric, so he was convicted and sanctioned by the knights."

"Of course, he is the chosen child of the merciful Father after all, so after being tackled a hundred times, the King of Knights will forgive him."

……

August 28th, the first round of Serie A.

Palermo faced off against "Palermo B" Torino.

The last time the two sides met in the first round of the league, Palermo won the league championship that season with an unbeaten record.

So this is a good sign for Palermo.

As the game pressure was not high, He Tianqi started Viana and Carragher, replacing Toure and Barzagli respectively.

The former is a technical adjustment.

Viana and Sherou are both very technically sound players. If they are given a relaxed environment and sufficient time to think, their performance will not be much inferior to Rui Costa and Zidane.

Palermo's offensive style of play can win a lot of ball possession when facing weak teams, and force the opponent to squat and defend.

This kind of environment is perfect for Viana and Shelu to perform.

However, when facing high pressure, these two players are likely to become defensive loopholes.

At times like this, Modric is better than both of them put together.

As for Barzagli, he needed to rest because he had injured his thigh due to too many flying tackles in the training match.

In the first half, Palermo led 2-0.

Viana scored a goal.

In the second half, He Tianqi replaced Modric with Xielu, Mascherano with Motta, and Mido with Toni.

The team scored two more goals.

Xie Lu made a wonderful pass to assist.

Palermo beat Torino 4-0.

Let this newly promoted team feel the intensity of the Champions League.

After the game, He Tianqi comforted the Torino team: "The Torino players are very motivated. I can see their talent. It is unfair to judge them based on this game."

"Because Palermo is one of the strongest teams in Europe."

"With an eye on relegation, I believe Torino will achieve their goal this season and stay in Serie A for a long time."

This saved the morale of the Torino team to a certain extent.

Therefore, Torino was very grateful to He Tianqi and praised Palermo: "Palermo has the best head coach in the world and they have won countless championships."

"It's not shameful to lose to such a team, and we will never lose confidence in Serie A."

"As He Tianqi said, our biggest goal this season is to avoid relegation, so it is not a bad thing to feel the strength of the top teams in Serie A in advance."

Both sides praised each other, which was very decent.

After this game, it will be the national team match day.

The players went to the national team.

Palermo already has a large group of international players.

Toni, Grosso, Zaccardo and Barzagli are already the main players and regulars of the Italian team.

Ribery has begun to compete for a starting position in the French team.

Vidic is Serbia's main central defender.

Modric also played as a starter in Croatia. No matter whether he stole or not, the honors are there.

Of course, Croatia's move is more to unleash the full capabilities of this summer's top signing and Arsenal sharpshooter Eduardo.

Toure, Handanovic and Valencia also secured their places in the starting lineups for Côte d'Ivoire, Slovenia and Ecuador respectively.

Van Persie flew to the Netherlands together with Van der Sar, but the latter was the main goalkeeper and the former was just a substitute.

Carragher was called back to the England team thanks to his championship-winning journey in Palermo that year, and even got a chance to start.

Mido was criticized for giving up his international career last season to play in a friendly against Juventus, and he retired from international football but returned a few months ago.

He Tianqi expressed his support for Mido's participation in the Egyptian team's game, saying it is natural for players to play for the national team.

This move won the hearts of Egyptian fans and players.

A young football player who played in the small town of Nagrig in Basyoun, Gabia Governorate, Egypt, became fascinated by Palermo.

He is thirteen years old and plans to join the Mokaulen Football Club youth team next year.

His name is Mohamed Salah.

In addition, Mascherano, who was a regular in the national team, was called up by the Argentine team without any suspense. He was regarded as one of the options for the national team's main midfielder.

The twin stars Di Maria and Messi were also selected.

Viana was selected for the Portugal national team, but that was because Portugal had a good record in the qualifiers, so they started giving some marginal players opportunities to see if they could perform well.

If Viana really wants to win a ticket to the 2006 World Cup in Germany next year, it will have to rely on its performance this season.

A few players including Ashley Young, Motta, Cheyrou, Thiago Silva, Pedro, Hamsik and Guardiola failed to be selected.

Guardiola: I am an assistant coach!
More than 80 percent of the players in the entire team have become international players, comparable to the major giants.

Once again, it shows what a black shop is!
Fake black shop will increase your value.

A real black shop that gives you a place in the national team.

Chinese team: Then aren’t we the biggest black shop?

……

September 3rd, World Cup European qualifying match.

Italy VS Scotland.

In order to take care of his own people, Camignani arranged three Palermo players to start.

Toni Vieri
Totti
Chiellini, Pirlo, Gattuso
Grosso, Cannavaro, Nesta, Zaccardo.

Peruzzi

-

Piero and Buffon were not selected due to injuries.

In the first half, Grosso and Totti both provided assists.

Tony scored twice.

Fifteen minutes into the second half, Camignani, woken up by the alarm clock, made an early substitution.

Iaquinta replaces Vieri.

Camoranesi replaces Chiellini.

Barzagli replaced Gattuso and played at right back.

The original right back Zaccardo and Pirlo were double defensive midfielders.

Camoranesi played brilliantly and completed the pass and shot.

Luca Toni scored another goal to complete his hat trick.

Four to one!

Italy defeated Scotland without a single blow.

They qualified ahead of schedule and secured the qualification for the World Cup next summer.

September 7th, Italy VS Belarus.

Although they have already qualified, Italy will secure first place in the group if they win this game, so Camignani brought out a "more stable" Italian lineup.

Gilardino, Iaquinta
Totti
Zambrotta, Gattuso, Pirlo, Camoranesi
Materazzi, Cannavaro, Nesta
Peruzzi

-

3412, but can also be seen as 5212.

The midfield and backcourt are all main players, stable.

Players on the fringe of the frontcourt are looking for their form, looking for national team strikers other than Toni and Piero.

In the first half, the two sides were tied at 1-1, and Zambrotta scored.

The Italian striker did not perform well.

In the second half, Chiellini replaced Gattuso.

Forwards Barone and Vieri came on as substitutes, but their performance was still not good.

In the end, the Italian team achieved a draw and secured first place in the group with this point.

But Camignani was not satisfied with the result and said frankly that the team's forward line needed further improvement and he might consider giving more players opportunities later.

This has sparked widespread discussion in Italy.

So no one thought about why none of Palermo's "Four Heavenly Kings" appeared in this game.

The answer is actually very simple.

Because on the third day after this national team match, Palermo will usher in the second round of Serie A.

This time, their opponent is none other than this season’s title contender - Inter Milan!
……

"Competing for the championship? No, no, no. Last season's difficult relegation has proved that we are just a relegation team. Our biggest goal this season is still to complete relegation." He Tianqi was very humble before the game against Inter Milan.

Reporter: "But you beat AC Milan in the Italian Super Cup."

He Tianqi: "It may be that AC Milan took into consideration that our deputy Zhu Xi is Barbara, so they deliberately let us."

Milan fans are heartbroken.

He Tianqi said the opposite of what he meant.

Ever since Palermo won the Italian Super Cup, there have been more verbal attacks against Barbara from AC Milan, with some people believing that she was too hypocritical and leaked AC Milan's team information, which led to the team's defeat.

The reporter also mentioned this this time.

He Tianqi replied: "First of all, Barbara did not tell me anything about AC Milan."

"Secondly, AC Milan's formation and adjustments are not difficult to guess, and Ancelotti is not a head coach who likes changes. So for Palermo, the first Milan they met was the most difficult Milan to beat."

"In the end, team information is not that relevant to winning or losing a game. A lot of small teams are very mysterious, but they have a hard time winning."

"Some head coaches always change tactics before big games and keep information very confidential, but the winning rate is not high if they do this."

Reporter: "As a relegation team, how do you view this game? Inter Milan is undoubtedly a championship team!"

He Tianqi: "No matter who the opponent is, our goal is to defeat them. We owed the fans too much in the league last season. We will not give up any game this season."

Reporter: "So your season goal is actually to win the championship?"

He Tianqi: "No, no, no, please don't twist my meaning. Defeating Inter Milan does not conflict with relegation. Last season we defeated Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Roma and other teams, but this does not affect our status as a relegation team."

The reporters were all stunned.

Palermo What on earth does this mean?
Although they have the ability to compete for the championship, they set their goal as relegation.

Aren't you afraid of hurting morale?
In this regard, He Tianqi said that even if the morale would be damaged a little, it would be better than being noticed by the referee team of the Holy Alliance too early.

Shoot the first bird.

The consequence of this low-key approach is that Palermo will most likely encounter fewer dark penalties in the early stages of the season than Inter Milan, which is aiming to win the championship.

These few games may be the main source of the points gap in the final stage of the league.

If there are fewer unfair whistles in a game, that means three more points!

Today, He Tianqi made a regular start.

Ribery, Toni, Van Persie
Modric, Motta, Toure

Grosso, Vidic, Barzagli, Zaccardo

Handanovic

-

However, players who have not had many opportunities in the national team, such as Mido, Xie Lu, Di Maria, etc., have a high probability of coming on as substitutes because they have better physical fitness.

Inter Milan's starting lineup is:

Martins, Adriano
Kily Gonzalez, Pizarro, Cambiasso, Veron

Favalli, Materazzi, Cordoba, Ze Maria

Cesar

-

New signings Figo and Samuel sat on the bench because they had consumed too much energy in the national team games.

Unless the situation is extremely dire, they probably won't appear.

Especially Figo, he is so old after all.
