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

Chapter 29: The real ceiling of Modric, fighting for points on the court (please vote)

He Tianqi: "Players who can't speed up are engineers. Players who can speed up are surprise soldiers. Players who can speed up and slow down are the brains of the team."

"I noticed that you have been maintaining your ability to speed up, but you are very resistant to slowing down to handle the football. Can you tell me the reason?"

Modric said: "I'm afraid that if I slow down, I won't be able to speed up again."

What Modric said is actually a very common phenomenon.

Many players are used to playing in slow-paced low-level leagues and cannot adapt to high-intensity, fast-paced games.

They can do whatever they want in the lower leagues, but they are repeatedly reduced to parity in the top leagues.

Modric doesn't want to be that kind of player.

He Tianqi shook his head: "Don't define yourself like this."

"Older players may be like this, but you are still young. The most valuable thing about players of your age is their strong adaptability and ability to learn."

"Cold climates often require the body to burn more fat to cope with them. But organisms that actually live in cold regions are not generally thinner because they burn more fat."

“Instead, they accumulated more fat and became generally fatter.”

Modric suddenly realized: "So the more I am afraid of slowing down, the more I should slow down and really overcome this difficulty!"

He Tianqi clung to Modric: "Now we are playing low-level games. DiDonato can tear open the opponent's defense. You can try other ways of playing."

"When we play in a high-level league in the future and DiDonato is no longer effective, the team will have to rely on you."

"Seize the opportunity, Modric, I expect more from you than just a surprise attack."

Modric walked into the locker room happily.

He Tianqi entered afterwards.

Many people always think that buying a group of young players who will become superstars in the future will immediately improve the team's combat effectiveness, and these young players will definitely grow to the heights that everyone knows.

This is obviously not right.

Star players need to grow.

The seventeen-year-old Modric is only at the level of a low-level league, so he can only play fast, not slow.

The 27-year-old Modric is the worst signing of the La Liga season. After being substituted in a game, he was criticized by Real Madrid's assistant coach for ten minutes.

The 37-year-old Modric is the Ballon d'Or winner.

The principle of "a good teacher produces good students" can help Modric complete this journey faster.

But He Tianqi did not choose this way.

Compared to seeing a peak Modric faster, He Tianqi would rather see a Modric that surpasses his peak.

Anyway, it's just Serie C. There are a lot of players like DiDonato who can perform better than Modric in this tactic.

Modric's battlefield is not here, but in higher-level competitions.

Just as De Bruyne's spring is not in London, but in Manchester.

……

In the second half, Taranto tried to turn the situation around by increasing the intensity of the confrontation.

But the improvement made by experts is called intensity.

The only thing the rookie improved was the number of fouls he committed.

In the 55th minute, Ribery created a free kick for the opponent on the wing.

Modric takes the free kick.

Vidic rises from the ground, overlooking all the other mountains.

"Another goal! Vidic's header is really strong!"

"Four to zero! Palermo is launching a massacre!"

"It seems that the defeat in the last round was just a nap of the Pink Eagles. In this game, Palermo is the real black-pink army!"

In the 68th minute, Modric, who had played slowly for 20 minutes, was almost forgotten by the opponent.

When he had the ball, the opponent did not restrict him immediately because there was no need.

But...bang!
Modric made a straight pass without stopping the ball, tearing through Taranto's defense like a scalpel.

Ribery cut inside without the ball and sprinted at full speed, then fell to the ground in the penalty area.

beep!

The referee pointed to the penalty spot.

"Penalty! Ribery successfully created a penalty!"

"The 'Morri connection' almost knocked the ball into Taranto's goal again, but now it's not far off."

"The Taranto players tried to argue but the referee's decision was very firm."

"Palermo's first penalty taker last season was DiDonato, and this season Arturo and Filippo have also taken penalties."

"But their starting lineup has changed a lot recently, and I don't know if they have rearranged the penalty takers."

"Otherwise, the atmosphere in their team is already bad, and there are always rumors of infighting. If there is another dispute over points, their momentum for this game will be lost."

“Even if we win this game, the next games will be difficult.”

Barbara was a little worried.

……

In a house in Sicily.

A smile appeared on Arrigoni's face.

In fact, the sequence of penalty takers and free kick takers within the team has not yet been re-determined.

He Tianqi is busy with the team's new tactical formulation and coaching of individual players, and does not have the energy to deal with these routine details for the time being.

These are all part of Arrigoni's job responsibilities, but he deliberately left some pitfalls and did not make the positions clear, thus making things difficult for He Tianqi.

On the sidelines, He Tianqi also realized this.

DiDonato and Filippo were both walking towards the penalty spot, and Quagliarella was also eyeing it.

This is going to be chaos!
"Ribery! Let Ribery take the penalty! Modric, give the ball to Ribery!" He Tianqi yelled on the sidelines, without any doubt.

DiDonato and Filippo were both stunned.

The former has already surrendered completely and it is impossible for him to disobey He Tianqi's arrangements.

The latter got a month's paid leave from He Tianqi during the winter break, and now he is too embarrassed to go against He Tianqi.

Modric is extremely sensitive and knew that this was a sensitive incident. If he delayed, something might happen. He quickly picked up the football and called Ribery.

For a moment, Ribery felt touched.

He is very poor, so he only cares about money.

Because he only cares about money, many coaches don't like him.

When he came to Palermo this time, he didn't feel that he had to become friends with anyone.

He Tianqi had previously said that he would give him more responsibilities, but he thought that might just be empty talk.

Because he did not see any arrangement in He Tianqi's tactics to get closer to the penalty area.

This shows that his position is just a wing attacker and passer.

It was not until this moment that he realized that he was wrong.

He Tianqi did what he said and actually gave himself a penalty kick!
Considering the current situation of the team, this almost means that he will be the team's first penalty taker in the future.

At least we get six or seven penalties in a season, right?

I just want to ask you if you take it seriously enough?

Moreover, the first penalty taker is often a symbol of status within the team.

This also confirms Ribery's tactical importance.

Ribery looked towards the sidelines.

He Tianqi stretched out his thumb, index finger and middle finger and made a handsome forward gesture.

Just kick it!
