Chapter 174: Chapter 146: Allegri was stunned! This summer, I want to bring Tang Long to Juventus!

"In the 2014 World Cup, Netherlands vs. Spain, Van Persie scored a fantastic diving header in that match!"

"I also took part in commentating on that game, and I once thought it was the most, most, most brilliant header in the world!"

"But today, in this Italian national derby, Icardi perfectly replicated Van Persie’s header!"

"The same diving header, the same outside the penalty area!"

"In terms of the power of the header, Icardi might even be a notch above!"

"Van Persie is already 32, while Icardi is only 22!"

"This young Argentine’s future is truly immeasurable!"

"Of course, the goal was beautiful, and the assist was even more exquisite!"

"Tang Long’s outside-foot lobbed pass was perfectly timed, with a graceful curve, and the precision was spot on!"

"If this assist was a little heavier or a little lighter, it wouldn’t have given Icardi such a comfortable header angle!"

"Looks like my previous worries were in vain, the Sugar-Coated Bombs duo has finally fired its first shot at the Juventus Stadium!!!"

Huang Jianxiang’s passionate and magnetic commentary also ignited the passion in the broadcast room.

-[Perfect! Look at Buffon’s dumbfounded expression, he was completely stunned hahaha!]

-[Only Icardi can crack Juventus! To activate Icardi, it has to be Tang Long!]

-[Stop praising Icardi, that goal was actually not a chance at all, it was relying solely on Tang Long’s pass to turn the ordinary into extraordinary!]

-[Tang Long’s slap was well done, it woke Icardi up!]

-[Tang Long not only has the Divine Kick, but also the Divine Slap!]

-[Looks like it’s going to be a goal fest today, both sides scored within 20 minutes, definitely won’t feel drowsy watching this at midnight!]

After scoring, Icardi originally wanted to take off his shirt to celebrate excitedly.

Even if I get a yellow card, I’d accept it!

But when he saw Tang Long waving his palm and rushing towards him, Icardi suddenly felt a pang in his heart, and the shirt he just lifted immediately went down.

He didn’t want to get slapped by Tang Long again~

Instead, he ran towards Pogba, who opened the scoring for Juventus.

"Hey! Did you see Tang’s nutmeg dribble? Now look at yours, really poor!"

Icardi taunted Pogba.

Pogba just wanted to argue with Icardi when he heard Pirlo from behind say:

"You’re too relaxed, this is the national derby, not training, don’t mess around in midfield!"

Pogba was stunned, and suddenly his heart burned with anger!

If my opponents ridicule me, that’s fine.

But you’re my teammate, how could you say that?

Have you forgotten who scored the first goal?

"You have the nerve to blame me, if it weren’t for you letting Tang slip by easily, none of this would’ve happened, you old 40-year-old relic!"

Seeing Pogba about to argue with Pirlo, other Juventus teammates rushed in to mediate.

Off the field.

Juventus Manager Allegri was stroking his chin.

He glanced at Tang Long, then at Mancini.

He had heard that this Chinese player had rapidly improved under Mancini’s tutelage.

But that pass just now, still left Allegri in awe!

Icardi’s miraculous goal was nothing.

Every Serie A round has miraculous goals, the kind where the scorer wouldn’t be able to replicate it even if they tried 50 times in training, it’s not surprising, football is sometimes about hitting that spot, plus a bit of luck—Allegri believed that Icardi’s diving header outside the box was far more about luck than skill.

However, Allegri was certain that Tang Long’s assist was absolutely not luck!

It was a solid demonstration of skill!

In the moment Tang Long carried the ball forward, Allegri’s vision was also swiftly advancing.

From the sideline, he easily saw the runs of Shaqiri, Podolski, and Icardi.

The safest option would have been to pass to Shaqiri out wide on the left and stretch Juventus’s formation a bit.

If he wanted to be slightly more aggressive, he could pass to the nearby Podolski and continue pushing towards the penalty area.

The riskiest move? Pass to Icardi!

Allegri judged that Tang Long wouldn’t possibly attempt that.

Because he concluded Tang Long couldn’t do it!

Bonucci and Barzagli were closely marking Icardi, one guarding his body, the other blocking his receiving line.

Yet, Tang Long forcibly connected with the heavily guarded Icardi, and he succeeded!

What seemed impossible for Tang Long and Icardi became possible.

At least in Allegri’s 13-year coaching career, he’s never seen an 18-year-old midfielder who could be so decisive and bold during a match.

Especially since today isn’t just any match, it’s the national derby!

"This kid Tang is really something, if there’s a chance, I must get him to Juventus next season!" Allegri resolved silently.

After all, Juventus is Juventus!

There’s a reason why they can dominate the league.

The players’ skills are extremely mature.

Especially the trio of Pogba, Marchisio, and Pirlo, whose fighting power and organization ability are top-notch.

Despite having a spat, once back in the game, Pogba and Pirlo’s coordination continues seamlessly and frequently, showing no sign of any discord between them.

This is the character of a top team, united as one, leaving any disputes off the field, ensuring teammates are bound together like ropes during the game.

"Do you remember what I said before the game? If Inter wants to win this national derby, the key lies in harmony."

"But please don’t overlook one thing, Juventus is a team with no weaknesses in Serie A, they also possess a sense of harmony!"

"Take Pogba and Pirlo’s one-two wall pass just now, although Pogba over-dribbled and made a mistake, Pirlo still applauded Pogba with a smile, and Pogba turned back to apologize to Pirlo for the pass."

"It seems Pogba’s mistake didn’t cause any internal waves in Juventus—that is the terrifying aspect of this team!"

"I’ve been commentating on Serie A since the 1990s, and my experience tells me this year’s Juventus is definitely the strongest in the last 20 years."

"Mr. Jianxiang, Inter just pulled one back, are you saying that no matter how hard they try, they have no chance of turning the tables?"

Liu Teng saw Huang Jianxiang continually praise Juventus, as an Inter fan, he wanted to remain as objective as possible, but still hoped Inter could win.

"If Inter wants to win away, they’ll have to rely on individual players stepping up," Huang Jianxiang thought for a bit, then smiled, "The overall strength can’t resist Juventus, but a star’s extraordinary performance can determine the direction of the game."

Huang Jianxiang left one thing unsaid regarding the extraordinary play.

But Chinese viewers watching the match all understood!

The key lies in Tang Long and Icardi.

Especially Tang Long’s performance.

This scenario is often seen in previous Serie A and UEFA Europa League matches, as long as Tang Long contributes an assist or scores, Inter wins all the matches, once he’s restrained or plays poorly, Inter’s core starts collapsing, and winning becomes extremely difficult.

This Inter cannot do without Tang Long!
