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

Chapter 41: Reverse Tiangang, Blue Eagle and Pink Chicken swap roles (Seeking follow-up reading)
"Cesar goes to defend."

"Ashley Young passed the ball to Ribery, who cut inside early."

"Stankovic made up for it."

"Ribery passes the ball to Modric."

"Modric made a through ball!"

"Eduardo received the ball on the right side, and he was very active in moving to the side because he had plenty of energy... and he made a cross!"

"The ball was headed out by the Lazio defender."

"Modric and Diego Simeone boxed each other out... Modric fell! Simeone took action, it was definitely a foul!"

"The referee didn't blow the whistle, he made a favorable attacking gesture! Ribery!"

"Ribery's long shot!"

"GOAL!"

Rumble!
The few pink jerseys on the field were instantly boiling with excitement.

"Ribery!"

"Again, from the outside right side of the penalty area, Ribery scored twice in a world-class brace!"

"His shooting form was not affected by the missed penalty."

"This is a volley! It's very difficult!"

"Ribery was undoubtedly the best player of the match today!"

"Six to four! Ribery killed the game!"

"Lazio must score three goals in the remaining time to turn the tide! This is almost impossible!"

“How on earth did Palermo do it?”

On the field, Ribery and his teammates rushed towards He Tianqi on the sidelines.

The players on the Palermo bench also rushed over and celebrated together as if the game time was over.

Only then did Mancini rush over indignantly and push away the Palermo players.

Get them back on the field and don't waste time.

He Tianqi pushed Mancini away after discovering this.

Players from both teams gathered together immediately.

But He Tianqi's words made Lazio players stop fighting.

"You were the one who hesitated and was timid, and now you blame us for wasting time?"

"When a car hits a wall, you know to turn. When the stock price rises, you know to buy. When snot gets into your mouth, you know to shake it out! Simeone and the others are almost exhausted. Can't you see? Do you really think they are young men in their twenties?"

This……

Rough words are not rough.

To be honest, Simeone and others felt that He Tianqi was right.

They had given Mancini the signal a long time ago, but Mancini really didn't adjust.

Even if you don't make substitutions, can you let Inzaghi come back? Let Chiesa play as a winger on the right, and let both midfielders play on the left?
Doing nothing, just watching us get beaten by Ribery!

Grass!
In the end, the referee did not issue a card because the situation did not escalate.

As it turns out, Lazio is capable of turning the situation around once they make substitutions.

With the two main players coming on the field, Lazio's offensive began to improve.

Favalli, in particular, took revenge on Ribery and Ashley Young on the left, passing the two who defended poorly and then passing the ball to Corradi.

Corradi's shot was blocked by Vidic.

Inzaghi's brother possessed him and scored the goal.

"Lazio scored a goal! Six to five, they are two goals away from advancing to the Italian Cup!"

"It's not impossible for Lazio!"

"Lazio fans should be cursing Mancini now. If he had made adjustments earlier, Lazio wouldn't be in such a passive position."

“You know, within ten minutes after He Tianqi made the substitution, Palermo scored three goals in a row!”

"Those were probably the ten minutes that decided the outcome of the game."

In the 81st minute, Favalli easily passed the exhausted Ribery and then passed the ball to Stankovic.

But Chiellini rushed forward in time and poked the ball away from Stankovic's feet.

Modric, who actively participated in returning to defense, turned around to let the ball go, and then kicked it directly to the right, which was about one second faster than the conventional process of receiving the ball, turning around and passing it.

Favalli, who had just passed Ribery, had to quickly chase Ribery. "Ribery, Ribery, Ribery...Oh!"

"Favalli tackled Ribery from behind!"

"Ribery fell to the grass."

"Favali indicated that he had kicked the ball first."

"Red card! The referee was ruthless! Favalli got a red card ten minutes after coming on the pitch!"

“This is a dangerous move.”

"Palermo's team doctor is coming up."

"Hey, Ribery!" On the sidelines, He Tianqi stopped Ribery who was about to get up and signaled him to lie down on the grass.

Ribery understood.

He began to groan in pain on the ground.

The team doctor examined the player so thoroughly that even the referee came over to urge them on.

There were a lot of boos at the scene.

In the end, Ribery stayed on the field.

Mancini was very dissatisfied with this time-delaying tactic.

Even if they are one man short, they have to cherish time and launch attacks to catch up.

In the 84th minute, Ribery sat on the grass and shook his head without any confrontation.

The referee stopped the game and the Palermo team doctor entered the field again.

Lazio fans began throwing garbage onto the pitch to express their dissatisfaction.

But this time, Ribery was carried away on a stretcher.

He Tianqi saw the [Injury] prompt in Ribery's status bar.

At the same time, the camera also focused on Ribery's feet.

His socks were full of holes.

There were several bloody marks on the legs.

It's his badge of honor today.

He Tianqi raised his hands above his head and clapped, signaling the fans to applaud Ribery.

Wow!
Sparse applause broke out.

Although not majestic enough.

But it further highlights this lone hero.

Huang Jianxiang said with emotion: "After this game, Ribery is no longer just Ribery of Serie C. He will be seen by the whole European football world."

"He will definitely grow into a fearsome winger in the future!"

"He is the undisputed MVP on the court today!"

In the end, the proud Lazio failed to score a goal in the ten-on-ten duel.

5 to 3 in a single game, 6 to 5 in two rounds.

The blue eagle was destroyed by the pink eagle!
Palermo reversed Lazio and advanced to the Italian Cup semi-finals!

……

Turin Sports Daily: "The ultimate upset in the Italian Cup! Palermo reverses Lazio and enters the semi-finals!"

"Corriere dello Sport": "There is no hope for the two Roma giants to meet in the Italian Cup final, Lazio was eliminated by Palermo!"

"Gazzetta dello Sport": "The young pink eagle exhausted the blue chicken! The era of Lazio has come to an end!"

"Barbara Daily": "He Tianqi's substitution moment appears again, Lazio ushered in the black ten minutes!"

I'm angry!

It's not just Italy.

This game has gained a certain popularity throughout Europe.

Any cup competition that reaches the semi-finals will have a huge advertising effect.

France Football focused on Palermo's young player Ribery, commenting: "The flaws do not outweigh the merits! Although Ribery missed a penalty, he still scored twice."

"His breakthrough was key to winning the game for Palermo."

"The man of the match trophy after the game is also the best reward for him!"
