DiDonato was surprised: "But the next game, we play Perugia! A Serie A team with a full lineup!"

"Although Quagliarella scored several beautiful goals, Arturo's overall ability is obviously stronger than Quagliarella."

He Tianqi nodded: "This is about the individual ability of the players and the tactics of the team, which one is more important."

“When I was a player, I felt the former was important.”

"But I'm a coach now, so I think the latter is more important."

"The difference is that the players don't have a say, but the coaches do."

"so……"

Didonato felt a chill in his heart.

So if he doesn't cooperate, he will also sit on the bench in the next game!

He is serious!
He Tianqi knew that DiDonato had figured out the situation, so he gave him a way out: "Actually, your age is crucial."

"Twenty-five."

"Once you start playing for a team, there will be people who want you even in your 30s."

"But if I don't make it, I'll have to retire in two or three years."

"Palermo has a three-year plan to advance to Serie A. If they succeed, as one of the most capable players in the team, at the golden age of 27 or 28, it will not be a problem for him to join a top club."

“I’m really optimistic about you.”

"I hope you have a relatively perfect career."

DiDonato nodded heavily: "Okay! I am willing to cooperate with your tactics, and I believe I can adapt to the new position and new responsibilities."

He Tianqi smiled slightly and gave DiDonato a hug.

Afterwards, the two talked about the past of the national youth team, as if they had returned to six or seven years ago.

Of course, DiDonato is no fool.

He agreed to He Tianqi in order to have a chance to play under the interim coach and not become a marginal figure in the team and then be abandoned.

After all, He Tianqi has won battle after battle, so even if Camignani returns, it is possible that he will continue to use his tactics.

But when Camignani really comes back, DiDonato will still fight for the core position.

A young new coach like He Tianqi cannot make him and Ribery coexist, but a champion coach like Camignani may be able to do so.

Otherwise, why is he the head coach and you, Xiao He, are just an assistant coach?
(He Tianqi: That’s called a temporary head coach!)
……

On December 19th, the second leg of the Italian Cup quarter-finals took place.

The Renato Guri Stadium was packed with 30,000 people.

Perugia fans treated this game with the greatest enthusiasm and anticipation.

In their view, this is a must-win game.

It was not only because their main players were in the field, but also because their opponent Palermo had an "internal conflict".

Palermo's starting lineup did not include their main striker and top scorer Arturo.

Turin Sports Daily reported the incident in depth, and they believe this is a good thing for Torino youngster Quagliarella.

But Quagliarella became the starter not because he was better than Arturo, but because Arturo had a bad relationship with head coach He Tianqi.

Barbara Berlusconi, who works for Gazzetta dello Sport, also analyzed this "anti-fan civil strife" in her column:
"The players who were 'unfairly treated' were mainly Arturo and DiDonato. The latter was even worse."

"But according to 'insiders', DiDonato has already given in to He Tianqi. Therefore, he will still start in this game, but his position will be changed from central midfielder to left midfielder."

"Arturo chose to fight, so he was removed from the starting lineup."

"From my personal point of view, Arturo's behavior is more respectable. In addition, Arturo has no shortage of suitors at the Serie C and Serie B levels, and he is still at the peak of his career."

"He Tianqi's behavior is very unprofessional. He is too stingy and too arrogant. Putting the team's top scorer on the bench will make him suffer the consequences sooner or later." "Barbara will continue to bring you more content!"

That’s right, this Barbara is the daughter of the current Italian president and AC Milan club chairman Silvio Berlusconi!
Influenced by her father since she was young, Barbara is very interested in football. She hopes to take over AC Milan in the future and has made efforts to this end early on.

Working at Gazzetta dello Sport was one of them.

Her column has always received good attention, but most of it is directed at her personal identity and does not prove her professional ability.

It was not until this summer that her column finally had a lot of discussions about football, after she commented on the conflict between He Tianqi and Juventus from the perspective of the "club".

She then frequently reported on events in Palermo and received a good response.

For this game, she came to the scene in person and served as a live commentator.

Because she believed that Perugia would wipe out Palermo without leaving a single piece of its armor!
"Okay, the game officially begins. There are some changes in Palermo's starting lineup today."

"Their double center forward choice is Quagliarella and Filippo."

"From left to right in the midfield are DiDonato, Chiellini, Modric and Ribery."

"Among them, Modric and Chiellini are one in front and one behind, and their positions are more like a diamond midfield."

"The defenders from left to right are Arkadi, Bilica, Vidic and Lucarelli."

"Goalkeeper Sicchiniano."

"Perugia's players are... Raid! Perugia launched a raid!" Barbara became excited. "Within two minutes of the game, is there going to be a goal?"

boom!
On the field, Chiellini fell to the ground and made a flying tackle, disrupting this rather deadly through pass.

Vidic rushed out and kicked the ball towards Perugia's half.

Palermo's center forward Filippo retreated to block the opponent, fought for the first point, and headed the ball back to Modric.

Quick counterattack!
Modric passed the ball to DiDonato without stopping, and then suddenly started to move forward.

The latter made a wall pass to help Modric easily break through the middle.

"Pay attention to defense! Keep an eye on that boy from Turin... and that Frenchman, don't let him slip in!" Perugia's head coach stood on the sidelines and roared, directing the team.

But his voice was quickly suppressed by He Tianqi next door.

"Modric! Use the outside of your foot!" He Tianqi inspired the bandit coach to roar.

Outer instep?
Modric looked at the football in front of him.

Why use the outside of the foot?

If I want to pass to Quagliarella, I have to use the inside of my right foot.

If you want to pass the ball to Ribery at the back post on the right side, you have to adjust your pace and complete the pass with your left foot.

The outside of the foot cannot be used at all.

Unless the boss means...

Modric looked at the goal and instantly understood.

In a flash, Modric suddenly took a step forward with his right foot, which was slightly bigger than usual.

Before landing, the outside of the foot touches the football first.

boom!
The football flew out.
