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

Chapter 33: Flower's first show, Croatia connection (asking for monthly tickets)
In the sixth minute, Eduardo was brought down by the opponent while dribbling the ball in the frontcourt, creating a free kick in a good position.

The referee warned the opposing defender but did not issue a card.

boom!
DiDonato took a direct free kick and the ball went around the wall, but the opponent's goalkeeper made an accurate prediction and saved the ball.

Ribery on the outside received the ball, glanced into the penalty area, and made a powerful cross pass.

This kind of pass can easily lead to an own goal.

The opposing defensive player stretched out his foot to block, causing the ball to change direction.

Some people jumped to avoid the ball, while others stretched their feet to touch the ball but missed it instead.

Eventually, a foot appeared and completely changed the path of the football.

"GOAL!"

"Goal! Palermo takes the lead!"

"This goal was so confusing that I couldn't tell who scored it."

“Huh? Palermo’s new signing Eduardo rushed towards the corner flag area. Could it be that he scored the goal?”

"Yes! Eduardo scored in six minutes on his debut!"

"He's so lucky!"

Looking at Eduardo who was celebrating enthusiastically, He Tianqi was not satisfied with the commentator's evaluation.

What does good luck mean?
That's a really quick reaction!
Do you know the smell of goal?
This is what Eduardo does for a living!
In the 13th minute, Ribery passed the ball on the right.

Quagliarella pulled to the right, providing Ribery with a point to hit the wall, helping Ribery to pass the opponent.

Scarface made a powerful shot from the right side of the penalty area and easily scored.

"Two to zero! Ribery has scored in three consecutive games! He is in great form!"

"This player has become Palermo's strongest offensive weapon."

"Palermo's biggest task after the end of this season is to keep Ribery! His value has caught up with Vidic and DiDonato, several times more!"

"Of course, Quagliarella's assists were also very good, he showed his versatility."

On the sidelines, He Tianqi started a pop test and asked Ashley Young: "Tell me what you think the players' contribution was in this goal."

Ashley Young had sweat on his forehead and said he would definitely change his position next time: "Um, that... Ribery did a good job, he scored a goal."

"Quagliarera made the assist and he played like Filippo, which was exactly what you asked of him before the game. To be honest, I didn't think he could do it."

"Modric distracted the opponent near the penalty spot, which made Ribery's goal easier."

He Tianqi nodded and began to mark the papers: "You are right about Ribery's point, but his shooting lacks technique. He neither shot from a small angle nor shot from a far corner."

"If we meet a top goalkeeper, there is a high probability that this ball will be saved."

"Quagliarela made an assist, but that was because the opponent didn't follow up. They underestimated Quagliarella. After that, they will stick closely to Quagliarella, and only then can we judge whether Quagliarella is capable of completing the task I assigned."

"Modric's involvement is meaningless, the goalkeeper must face the first threat directly."

"You missed a very important scoring point, that is Eduardo."

"He blocked the opposing centre-back. He was at a disadvantage but he was very aggressive in the challenge."

"And he took the initiative to ask for the ball, which attracted the attention of the other central defender. The opponent was caught in a dilemma between blocking Ribery and defending Modric."

"That's when Ribery's shot came."

"In addition, Eduardo was too close to the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper could ignore Modric's potential second shooting position, but he was obviously disturbed by Eduardo. This kind of close-range shot was difficult to ignore, which caused problems with his concentration in saving the ball."

He Tianqi could tell from the question marks on Ashley Young's face that he did not really recognize Eduardo's contribution.

"It's okay, this is a talent." He Tianqi patted Ashley Young. Ashley Young nodded: "Eduardo's ghostly movement does require talent."

He Tianqi shook his head: "What I mean is that it takes a certain talent to understand my analysis. And obviously, you don't have it."

"In this case, I will have to modify the specific tactics I have arranged for you appropriately. It can't be too difficult, otherwise you will definitely not be able to escape."

“Don’t make such a sad face. You are lucky to have met a head coach like me who can set up both sophisticated and complex tactics as well as crude and simple tactics. Otherwise, it would be difficult for you to have room to perform.”

Ashley Young's face full of question marks turned into MMP!

Am I sad?

I'm drawing a circle and cursing you!

……

In the 26th minute, it was still Eduardo.

After he retreated to receive the ball, he directly attacked the defensive player, used continuous dribbling to deal with the opponent, and finally created a free kick.

This is the effect that Quagliarella wanted to achieve in the last game but ultimately failed.

Unfortunately, DiDonato's free kick hit the wall, wasting Eduardo's contribution.

At this stage, the free kick levels of Palermo's technical players are all about the same.

Eduardo, DiDonato, Modric, Quagliarella, Ribery, etc., but no obvious free-kick expert.

The identity of the free kick taker is more of a reflection of the team's status.

This is also the reward for DiDonato's firm stance.

In the 31st minute, the opponent launched a very threatening counterattack.

Fortunately, Vidic held on to his opponent until the ball rolled out of the baseline.

In the 34th minute, the opponent took advantage of the physical fatigue of Palermo players and launched a large-scale counterattack, pushing the positional battle to Palermo's half.

Among them, a straight pass from the opponent's No. 10 player almost created a dangerous situation.

It was Vidic who knelt down on one knee and stretched his legs in time to destroy the ball.

The "Destroyer" comprehensively enhanced Vidic's defensive capabilities, making him the mainstay of the back line.

In the 42nd minute, Ribery successfully broke through on the right again, then made a "soup pass" to shake off his opponent and made a triangle pass back before the ball went out of the baseline.

Modric kicked the ball.

Everyone thought he was going to shoot directly, and it was a good chance to score.

Quagliarella stood in position, ready to wait for the subsequent shot or celebration.

But Modric sent a through ball over the top.

The football flew to the back post.

Edward was left unattended and volleyed the ball directly into the opponent's goal.

"Oh! Eduardo again, he scored twice in his debut!"

"Three to zero! Crotone completely ignored Eduardo, which got them punished!"

"Modric is as crazy as ever, he always makes the unexpected choices. Sometimes it looks cool!"

After scoring the goal, Eduardo found Modric, and the Croatian twins hugged each other to celebrate.

The combination of ethereal passes and strange movements makes it unstoppable!
