In the seventy-first minute, an opposing player, after being tackled by Chiellini, turned around and knocked him down.
The referee blew the whistle for a foul.
But Chiellini was enraged; he got up and directly pushed the opponent.
The opponent took the chance to dive, showing rich experience in on-field combat.
Because of this, Chiellini actually received a yellow card.
“Little Chi” was so angry he almost charged at him.
“Stop him!
Get him away!” He Tianqi pointed at Chiellini.
Modric was the first to go over and hug Chiellini, but he was thrown off by the furious Little Chi.
1.86 meters easily took down 1.72 meters.
(Modric: MMP!)
Don’t look at the future Chiellini’s good temper, laughing and talking with opponents, full of politeness, always the one to break up fights.
In his early years, Chiellini had a very hot temper.
Regarding opponents as enemies was his little trick for focusing on the match.
But the consequence was that it was too easy to get cards.
And as the opponent performed better and better, Chiellini’s emotions and performance would also deteriorate.
A double-edged sword.
Just as Chiellini was about to keep lunging at the opponent, the taller Vidic controlled him.
Then, Ribéry, Di Donato, and others rushed over to persuade Chiellini, and the scene finally calmed down.
He Tianqi saw everything that happened on the field.
For his words, some players executed them perfectly, even regardless of their own safety—Modric.
But some players never appeared at the scene of the dispute.
So the person who divided the team into “how many factions” was not He Tianqi, but those who held a grudge in their own hearts.
The only thing that surprised He Tianqi was Di Donato, who “suffered unfair treatment.” From Di Donato’s perspective, this was true; he had gone from a core to a role player.
But he still possessed team responsibility and participated in persuading Chiellini.
This was a good player without talent.
He Tianqi decided to show Di Donato a clear path.
After receiving the yellow card, Chiellini’s form clearly dropped.
He had an obvious psychological burden, so his defensive movements were distorted, and he was hesitant.
In the seventy-seventh minute, Grosso used his body to knock over Ribéry, who was trying to get the ball, then pushed forward on the wing.
Palermo right-back Lucarelli thought this 1.9-meter man was a brute and lunged prematurely.
Unexpectedly, Grosso had delicate footwork and easily bypassed him.
“Cover!
Cover!” He Tianqi reminded the team.
But it was too late.
Grosso cut inside directly, accelerated with a push, bypassed Chiellini—who had been divine all match—and completed the breakthrough.
The Palermo defense was forced to step out.
Grosso sent a through ball, helping Miccoli score in a one-on-one.
“GOAL!
Two to one!”
“Miccoli scores a brace!”
“Grosso’s assist was also very exciting; he completed a beautiful one-through-three!”
“Just as He Tianqi said before the match, Grosso would blow up their right side.”
“Oh, He Tianqi is going to substitute again.”
“Like a novice always catching a good hand, He Tianqi’s substitutions have had miracle effects so far.”
“I wonder if this time, the goddess of luck is still on his side.”
But soon, boos came from the stands.
Because He Tianqi, trailing by one goal, didn’t add another striker to strengthen the attack.
Instead, he used a regular like-for-like substitution.
Quagliarella for Arturo.
Ashley Young for Lucarelli.
The commentator couldn’t help it: “This is just reckless.”
“Arturo is Palermo’s top scorer; how can he be subbed off at a time like this?”
“Ashley Young clearly doesn’t have the ability to play right-back; he has no defense to speak of.
Isn’t this further liberating Grosso?”
“In this situation, I can’t imagine how Palermo wins!
Unless they have another Ribéry on the left, flying with both wings, otherwise…”
On the sidelines, He Tianqi ignored Arturo, who was ignoring him.
Grosso’s height, speed, and skills were just too overpowered.
Perhaps on a top-tier stage, he’s a bit of an all-rounder but master of none.
But in low-level matches, he is a “hexagon warrior.” He simply couldn’t be stopped.
Instead of being unilaterally blown up by him, better to have a hearty mutual blowout.
You limited Ribéry, right?
Betting we can’t fly with both wings, right?
Then let you feel the sensation of “Two Wings Single-Flying”!
In the eightieth minute, Ribéry made consecutive feints on the right wing.
Ashley Young overlapped and sprinted.
Ribéry passed.
Ashley Young played it back.
Ribéry cut inside.
Grosso could only pull Ribéry down, earning himself a yellow card.
In the eighty-third minute, “Ribé-Young” came back again.
This time Ribéry sent a through ball, Ashley Young caught up with the ball and crossed.
Unfortunately, although he is a right-footed player, the quality of his cross was very poor; the ball flew out of the baseline.
But this undoubtedly announced that Perugia’s limitation of Palermo’s right wing had failed.
Although Ashley Young was ineffective, his passing was decisive, creating more trouble than Di Donato, who previously cooperated with Ribéry.
In the eighty-fifth minute, Ribéry successfully reached the baseline and crossed.
The Perugia center-back headed clear over Filippo, and Perugia launched a counterattack.
But the ball was successfully intercepted by Chiellini in the center circle.
Modric got the ball and immediately looked at Ribéry on the right.
“Get past him!
Get past him!” He Tianqi shouted a reminder.
A Perugia midfielder directly rushed over with a flying block.
No matter what, they wouldn’t let Modric link up with Ribéry.
Ribéry was the biggest threat to this team!
“Hmm?” The Perugia defender and Modric crossed paths, fear showing in his eyes.
Modric didn’t pass.
He made a fake pass and a real breakthrough, easily bypassing the opponent, and then drove forward with the ball.
The entire middle was his runway.
The original forwards, Quagliarella and Filippo, immediately turned back, and Ribéry also sprinted on the right.
The trident stabbed directly into the opponent’s penalty area.
And Modric was the handle of that trident!
“Three against two in the front court!
If Modric just passes, Palermo has a chance to equalize!”
“Still not passing?”
“Modric is carrying it too much!”
“Quagliarella and Filippo are making crossing runs.”
“Ribéry cuts inside without the ball, calling for it.”
“There are too many opportunities; sometimes that means there are no opportunities!
Modric is like he’s frozen, he just can’t process it!”
The commentator was anxious.
The fans at the scene were also anxious.
Just pass it!
Arrigoni on the bench was also telling Modric to pass, with foul language in his mouth.
But He Tianqi turned around and roared: “Shut up!”
Arrigoni was stunned.
Then He Tianqi saw the position was about right: “Hit it!
Hit it directly!
Luka!”
Modric, who was hesitating between Filippo and Ribéry, was suddenly startled.
