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

Chapter 79 Fortune Knight, China Derby (asking for monthly ticket)
"For example, if you want to retreat to support, I allow you to retreat deeper, even to the midfield position."

"Including the power of organization. Although your pass is unknown, the quality is still guaranteed. This is enough. Because the environment you organize is bound to be better than that of midfielders such as Arteta."

"Another example is the cross-court runs that create opportunities for you, which of course also create opportunities for other players in the frontcourt."

He Tianqi spoke a lot in a very eloquent manner.

To be honest, Luca Toni's eyes became red when he heard this.

This is absolutely the core treatment.

He had seen this kind of treatment once, when the head coach gave Roberto Baggio when he was playing for Brescia.

This is a dual core treatment that combines the frontcourt core + midfield core, organizational core + offensive core, football distribution rights + football finishing rights.

What virtue and ability have I possessed?

"Can I...can I?" Luca Toni doubted himself.

In the past two years, if the forwards cannot score as many goals as Vieri and Ronaldo, they can only act as meat shields and fight with the opponent's defenders, and they are euphemistically called fulcrum forwards.

But after seeing He Tianqi's arrangement, Luca Toni finally knew what the fucking fulcrum was!

"Get rid of that word '?' and be more confident!" He Tianqi said with a smile, "The last person who talked to me like this was DiDonato. You saw how he changed."

"Honestly, your foundation is much better than his, and your ceiling is much higher."

"Play as I ask. If you can't become the main center forward for the Italian national team within three years, I will retire right here!"

"In one and a half years at most, you will definitely be selected for the Italian national team!"

"The players who leave me are worth 10 million euros, let alone the players who follow me?"

"Understand the applause!"

Luca Toni was very excited. He hadn't experienced this feeling of being favored in many years.

Although he does not believe that he can be selected for the Italian national team, let alone become a main player, he is willing to become Palermo's main striker. Why is Tianqi expanding the territory!
He Tianqi then gave the role of [Frontcourt Commander] to Luca Toni, allowing him to reach his best form.

Subsequently, the team's training content also changed.

There are many more tactics centered around Luca Toni.

Moreover, this is a way of using the fulcrum center that people have never seen before.

The new players may not understand, but the old people in Palermo know that Luca Toni is about to come to the fore!

Modric immediately announced that Luca Toni would be recruited into the Knights of the Apocalypse.

Since Luca Toni is older, twenty-six, and has an accountant qualification certificate, Modric named him the "Knight of Wealth".

……

On September 14, Palermo defeated Cagliari 3-2.

Luca Toni's performance in this game was that of a war criminal. He retreated to the midfield many times to get the ball, which affected the team's offensive rhythm, caused the team to lose the ball and concede goals, etc.

But thanks to the efforts of Ribery, Modric, Eduardo, Arteta and others, the team still won the victory.

On September 20th, Palermo defeated Ternano 4-1.

Luca Toni's form has improved, with one assist and one goal.

On September 23, Palermo defeated Salernitana 3-0 and won four consecutive games in Serie B.

Luca Toni scored a goal and had two assists, and was named the best player of the game.

He can assist Arteta and Modric in organizing the ball in the midfield, while also providing space for them to advance.

Being able to act as a bridgehead in the frontcourt and provide a fulcrum for the team greatly reduces the pressure on Ribery to break through with the ball.

He is becoming more and more like an all-round striker.

In this way, he will reach his peak earlier.

Instead of continuing to waste time on the road of "bankrupt Vieri", He Tianqi did this mainly to reduce Ribery's regular use and thus protect his health.

After all, most of the players in this team can be replaced, but Ribery is really not good enough.

Especially when fighting a tough battle.

After four consecutive league victories, Palermo is about to face a unique opponent.

That’s the Blue Moon from Manchester... Manchester City!

……

Gazzetta dello Sport: "The UEFA Cup is about to start, the Pink Eagles will fight against the Blue Moon!"

Turin Sports Daily: "Famous coach Kevin Keegan versus pheasant coach He Tianqi. There is a huge gap between the two sides, whether in their playing days or in their coaching days!"

"Corriere dello Sport": "This Manchester City team is not to be trifled with! Palermo may suffer another Italian Super Cup-style blow!"

As for Italy, they are not optimistic about Palermo.

After introducing players such as Anelka and Schmeichel, Manchester City's strength has improved significantly this season.

At the same time, they also have famous stars such as Robbie Fowler and McManaman.

In England, of course, everyone is optimistic about Manchester City.

After all, the opponent is just a newly promoted team from Serie C.

But why else do people say that The Sun has high traffic?

An article titled "Behind the Chinese Derby is the Italian prince consort's counterattack in life" let the fans know many secrets.

The so-called Chinese derby is because Manchester City's right-back Sun Jihai is Chinese, and Palermo head coach He Tianqi is of Chinese descent.

Derby's was very reluctant.

But it attracts domestic audiences.

The so-called Italian Prince Consort is based on the fact that The Sun judged that Barbara and He Tianqi might have fallen in love based on their frequent contacts.

The Serie C coach and the prime minister's daughter, it sounds particularly dramatic.

The key point is that The Sun even dug up the incident in which He Tianqi caused a scene at Barbara's birthday celebration in the early years, and arranged the cause and effect of the story.

This kind of plot where there is no love without fighting is what people love the most.

As a result, He Tianqi's name has gained a certain degree of popularity in the English football circle.

McMaraman also said in an interview that he knew He Tianqi: "Zidane often mentioned the name He Tianqi after he came to Real Madrid."

"He always lamented that although the kid's football talent was a little lacking, he would definitely become a good coach in the future."

"As a result, He Tianqi really became a coach the following year and led the Serie C team to win the Italian Cup, which was unprecedented. This was amazing."

China's Sun Jihai also said in an interview: "Of course I know Tianqi! If Chinese football wants to go global, it is difficult to rely solely on the efforts of the players."

"We also need excellent head coaches, especially those who can speak Chinese and understand our physique and even our traditional culture."

"I look forward to He Tianqi achieving better coaching results and leading the Chinese team to the world in the future."

In response to this, He Tianqi secretly cursed Sun Jihai for being such a mean guy.

But you can’t curse me for being the national football coach!
Of course, just kidding, He Tianqi also praised Sun Jihai: "Sun Jihai is an excellent player, and he can be a starter even in Manchester City in the top five leagues."

"You know, there are superstars like Alneka, Robbie Fowler, McManaman, David Seaman, Schmeichel and so on!"

"But as for coaching the Chinese national football team, I have better people to recommend."

As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend will never die if he is a poor Taoist.

He Tianqi turned his gaze to old Kami beside him.
