Chapter 19: Double win over Serie A team (Please vote)

Even the team's positional defensive ability has improved with the addition of team cards.

But the second half lasted a full forty-five minutes.

It's hard for everyone to concentrate and get through this period.

However, it was impossible for He Tianqi to keep the team on the offensive.

After all, you are leading by two goals in the total score. Wouldn't it be giving others a chance to steal if you continue to attack?

This is the origin of the saying in football: "One to zero is the most dangerous, but what is more dangerous than one to zero is two to zero."

The scary thing about leading by one goal is that the opponent could overturn the game at any time.

The scary thing about leading by two goals is that the team will have no other choice but to defend without any effort.

……

In the second half, Perugia remained strong.

Serie A players are better than Serie C players in this regard.

In the 56th minute, Ribery, who was unable to defeat Grosso, became angry and knocked down Grosso using his hands and feet, and received a yellow card.

In the 63rd minute, Grosso attracted the attention of Palermo players after successfully breaking through on the left, and then made a horizontal pass.

Perugia midfielder No. 10 scored with a long shot.

The score of this game therefore came to 2-2.

The total score of the two rounds was four to five.

Perugia was just one goal away from equalizing.

And once they equalize, they will be close to winning.

Because Palermo obviously no longer had the ability to fight back.

In the 67th minute, Modric knocked down the opponent immediately after losing the ball and gave the opponent a free kick.

The referee came over and warned him that if he continued like this, he would get a yellow card.

He Tianqi immediately started to replace players.

Replaced left back Arkadi with Ashley Young.

"Huh? Isn't it on the right? Why did He Tianqi put Ashley Young on the left this time?" Barbara was a little confused about He Tianqi's intention.

In fact, the tactic of two wings flying alone is indeed easier to target than the tactic of two wings flying together.

After Perugia’s defeat in the last game, it is estimated that they have recovered.

The so-called two-wing solo flight, as long as Ribery is contained, Ashley Young on the other wing is actually not a big threat.

So in this game, Perugia's restriction on Ribery was perfect.

They hardly gave Ribery any chance to hold the ball, and once they had it they would use their physical strength, preferring to commit a foul rather than letting Ribery perform.

Therefore, He Tianqi could only use the left side.

"Luka! Switch between the strong and weak sides. Next, you should cooperate more with DiDonato, Ashley Young and Quagliarella to play on the left." He Tianqi took the opportunity to arrange a new tactic for Modric, "Let Ribery stand on the right sideline, don't come over."

"Use his threat and provide the team with enough width on the pitch."

"DiDonato, the entire left and center are yours from now on. Ashley Young, Quagliarella and Modric will all cooperate with you."

DiDonato nodded.

He Tianqi did not lie to him and arranged a special dual-core swing tactic for him.

From now on, he took over the ball handed over by Modric and became the team's first core.

In the 71st minute, Palermo launched an attack on the left, which was unusual for them.

Modric hits DiDonato against the wall.

Didona used the tray to advance and attract the opponent, then sent a straight pass.

Ashley Young, who was on the wing, successfully got to the bottom line and sent a cross.

Unfortunately the quality is poor.

Moreover, the opponent's defender suppressed Filippo in advance and cleared the ball.

In the 78th minute, Modric dribbled the ball to the left.

DiDonato and Modric crossed positions and headed towards the middle.

During the exchange, Modric passed the ball to DiDonato.

Perugia's players knew that Modric was the core, so they paid special attention to him, allowing DiDonato to break through easily.

"Right! Ribery!" He Tianqi knew that DiDonato's vision and awareness were flawed, so he immediately reminded him.

Didonato did not dare to be greedy for the ball and made a long pass to Ribery on the right.

Ribery was standing very close to the side, and Grosso felt it was not worth it to defend him closely for a while, so he slowly opened up the distance. Now Ribery got the ball, and Grosso could only pounce on Ribery.

Ribery made a pass and Grosso jumped up to try to block it.

As a result, Ribery faked a breakthrough and easily got rid of Grosso.

Perugia's left center back immediately came out to fill in, and a hole appeared in their defense.

boom!
Ribery sent in a cross.

【Basic cross! 】

Ribery didn’t really like crossing before, as he thought it was unreliable. He preferred to use tricks to create chances.

But recently his crossing ability has improved significantly and he is beginning to feel the superiority of crossing.

Many loopholes in the opponent's defense had disappeared by the time he brought the ball into the penalty area.

And a cross can take advantage of this flaw.

In the penalty area, Filippo took a favorable position in front and blocked the central defender who rushed from behind.

When the football flew towards him, he didn't even need to jump, he just headed it towards the goal.

"GOAL!"

"Filippo scores!"

"Six to four! Palermo widened the score gap again!"

"Ribery's crosses are of very high quality!"

"Perugia's left center back was too reckless in his attack. He neither interfered with Ribery's cross nor had enough time to defend Filippo!"

"Compared to the score, Filippo's leisurely header without even jumping was more damaging to Perugia's morale."

In the stands, the Perugia fans' eyes lost their luster.

They were three goals behind before, but they had plenty of time.

Now we are three goals behind, there is basically no hope.

It's useless even if Ronaldo comes.

They were actually defeated twice in two rounds by a Serie C team?

Just outrageous!
In the 84th minute, Perugia showed its final stubbornness.

Their central midfielder made a controversial tackle, stole the ball from Modric and then provided an assist.

Miccoli seized the opportunity to score.

"Five to six!"

"Perugia is still fighting!"

"Miccoli scored three goals in two rounds. As a loan player of Juventus, his performance this season is still remarkable. Maybe we can see him in Juventus' game next season."

"Does Perugia still have a chance? Still?"

In the 88th minute, Modric retaliated by attacking the opponent from behind, completing the steal and then passing the ball to DiDonato.

DiDonato took two steps with the ball and passed it to Filippo who came out of the penalty area.

Filippo held on to the opponent's central defender and stepped on the football.

He pretended to turn left, but while confronting the opponent, his right foot pushed the ball to the right.

This kind of smoothness was something he had never been able to achieve before.

Because this is the improvement brought by the [Stomp Ball Skill]!

boom!
DiDonato ran up and shot the ball.

Filippo fed the ball so well that DiDonato felt like he was doing shooting training.

Swish!
The football went straight into the net.

"This is crazy!"

"Palermo is still scoring goals!"

"They've already scored four goals in this stadium!"

“Not only are they going to advance, they’re going to beat Perugia twice!”

"The total score of the two rounds is seven to five!"

"Who would have thought!"

"Who dares to believe it!"
