Chapter 164: Three rounds of no victory

After three rounds of Serie A, Parma won two and drew one, ranking fifth in the league with seven points, which is a good start to the new season. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 INFO: In the fourth round, they will take on "Little Pepper" Lecce away. Marino will need to take advantage of the team's good form to take all three points on the road.

It's certainly tougher away from home than at home, but Marino believes several of the team's key players have stepped into the role, notably Zhang Shujie, who has scored two goals and is third in the scorers' charts. Lecce is a promoted team, and as long as nothing happens, Parma can win even away from home.

But what is surprising is that Parma, who sent all their main players to play, actually lost 0:2 at the Stadio Via del Marre. Zhang Shujie played 75 minutes and had three shots on goal, but he could not threaten Lecce's goal, while Li Mu and Giovinco each had two shots on goal, which were also unthreatening.

Parma's defense had big problems, with many mistakes, but fortunately it was Lecce, a new Serie A team, and if it were replaced by Milan or Juventus, Parma would probably concede more goals.

Marino was a little upset after the defeat to the promoted clubs, and in his post-match press conference, he criticised the team's overall performance. However, he also thinks that he is a little underestimated, so that the players do not pay attention to the opponent, which causes the loss.

In the fifth round, Parma are still playing away from home against Fiorentina. Last season, Parma were unbeaten against the Purple Lilies twice, winning one and drawing one, and the two teams met again this season, with Fiorentina vowing to beat Parma on their home turf.

Just four minutes into the game, Gilardino warned Parma with a header at the post that they were not going to get out of the Stadio Franqui, and three minutes later, Parma changed their colours and Zhang Shujie's shot went just wide of the post to show Fiorentina that we are not here for tourism.

Both teams had good attacking power and played against each other on the pitch. Parma's defender Antonelli was tasked with defending Di Lardino but from Gilardino's shot at the start showed that Antonelli didn't look very good and he desperately needed to prove himself for the rest of the game.

For the next 30 minutes, Antonelli defended Gilardino relatively successfully, failing to allow the Italian international to score, but in the 34th minute, he inexplicably fell while defending Gilardino and was pulled out of position, giving Gilardino a one-on-one chance.

Gilardino would certainly not go unnoticed with such a big gift, and the Italy international easily scored the ball against the attacking Mirante. 1:0, Fiorentina has the lead at home!

Antonelli was so depressed that he couldn't figure out why he had fallen, and he wondered if something was wrong with Frankie's court.

Marino looked at the Fiorentina players in celebration, frowning and showing nothing.

Parma ushered in the second half with a score of 0:1, Marino warned his disciples in the fifteenth minute of the break to attack, and the players were indeed executing according to Marino's tactics, but unexpectedly, Fiorentina in the 57th minute of a counterattack, from Marchisio to 2:0, this is Fiorentina's first shot in the second half.

Parma was a little confused, and they were scored by the opponent when they were in the attack, which had a lot of impact on morale. Marino shouted on the sidelines, reminding the players to cheer up, and it was at this critical moment that Li Mu broke out.

Since the start of this season, Li Mu has been advanced by Marino from the forward position, which is the so-called "front midfield method". But in the previous games, although Li Mu contributed two assists, he did not score a goal. Local media can't help but speculate whether the Chinese player can adapt to the role of winger and shadow striker.

In the second half of the second half of this game, Li Mu slapped the media hard with his excellent performance. He pulled a point back for Parma with a brilliant left-footed volley in the 66th minute, giving manager Marino a glimmer of hope.

Then he received a cross from Zhang Shujie in the 79th minute, and his header broke through Fiorentina goalkeeper Frei's ten fingers to equalize the score for the team. He had a great chance in the 83rd minute, but he missed a hat-trick with a shot high in the end.

The final result of the match was 2:2, with Parma taking a point away from home. With Li Mu's brace, Parma avoided two consecutive defeats. Many media regarded Li Mu as the hero who saved Parma, and all of them gave him the highest score in the game, and "Digital Sports" even gave Li Mu a score of 9! This is also the only media out of all the media to give Li Mu a score of 9. Digital Sports believes he had a chance to score a hat-trick to help his team win the game, but unfortunately his luck was a little worse.

Relatively speaking, Zhang Shujie's game is much darker, and "Digital Sports" gave him a rating of six points, which is more polite, after all, Zhang Shujie assisted Li Mu once. "Slow Motion" only gave him a score of 5.5 because "except for the first shot in the opening game and the assist for Li Mu to score, he was rarely seen the rest of the time".

Li Mu's two goals in this campaign also tied Zhang Shujie, and the two are both the team's top scorers. Marino was also very happy when he saw that Li Mu had also opened and closed, at least he could prove that his change to Li Mu was not wrong. Zhang Shujie has not scored in two consecutive rounds, Marino is not worried about this, it is normal for strikers not to score, and it is not a goal drought in two consecutive games, he is still very young.

Parma's opponent in the sixth round is Serie A giants AC Milan, AC Milan has changed a lot in the last two years, first in 2009\/ In the 2010 season, Ancenotti, who had been in charge of the team for seven and a half years, left Milan City and went to Stamford Bridge, Leonardo took over his hand, and a year later, Allegri became the team's new coach, he is very different from the previous two, Ancenotti and Leonardo both like technical players, Allegri likes power players, which is why technical midfielders like Pirlo are not Allegri's first choice.

Not only Pirlo, but also veterans such as Inzaghi and Seedorf are also difficult to fall into the eyes of this young coach, but considering that they are all veterans of the team and have a high reputation in the team, Allegri does not dare to touch them for the time being, and they are still a little useful to the current Milan.

The biggest change in Milan this season is the striker, the arrival of Swedish striker Ibrahimovic has undoubtedly increased the attack power of AC Milan, as a symbolic figure of former Inter Milan, the 29-year-old Swede defected to AC Milan at the beginning of the season, shaking Serie A, as long as he is not injured or lame, Ibrahimovic is definitely the absolute main force of the Rossoneri.

The addition of Brazilian Robinho has also enriched AC Milan's attack, with the "Cyclist" playing both strikers and midfielders, and compatriot Pato, who will be AC Milan's front trident with Ibrahimovic.

This round Parma is finally playing on their own turf. Marino is not demanding, he will not be unaware of how strong AC Milan with Ibrahimovic is, he just asks everyone to play a draw and not lose the game.

On Sunday, October 3, the sixth round of Serie A kicked off at 4pm local time, and AC Milan, who had not won the league title for seven years, were very eager to win the title. They are currently top of the league, but only one point more than second-placed city rivals Inter Milan, who will be in a stumbling match at the Meazza Stadium and Juventus, and AC Milan will have to hurry up to grab points, and they will not allow themselves to lose to Parma.

What's more, there is also the presence of Ibu in the team.

The Swedes did cause a lot of problems for Parma's backline, with Pato and Robinho by his side and Boateng at the back to provide an assist on Ibrahimovic's screen. Every time Ibrahimovic gets the ball, several of Parma's defenders are inexplicably nervous, and two of them can't defend him, he is both the offensive finisher of AC Milan and the core of the organization.

Parma played a bit hard, but fortunately it was at the Tardini Stadium and the fans cheered them on, and if they were in San Siro, facing more than 80,000 Milan fans, Parma would probably not be able to survive.

After fifteen minutes of stubborn defense, Parma conceded the goal, and it was Robinho who scored the goal and it was Ibrahimovic who assisted him.

Allegri stood on the sidelines applauding his disciples, his face smiling with the word "embarrassed". But he didn't rejoice for long, and just six minutes later, Parma equalised the scores.

This was a bit of a surprise, not to mention that Allegri did not expect it, even Parma coach Marino did not expect it. And it was none other than Zhang Shujie, the young striker in the team, who scored for the team.

An assist from Giovinco and Zhang Shujie scored their third league goal of the season with a tackle from inside the six-yard box, bringing the two teams back on the same page. Allegri asked AC Milan to step up their attack, while Marino told his players to calm down and defend, and then look for opportunities to play defensive counter-attacks.

However, Parma's counter-attack could not be completed before they conceded again, this time by Ibrahimovic, who rewrote the score to 2-1 in the 28th minute, and AC Milan regained the lead.

That score lasted until the 76th minute of the second half, when AC Milan scored for the third time. Ibrahimovic's shot was saved by Mirante, and with three defenders around him, the unguarded Pato easily filled the ball into the empty net. At 3:1, AC Milan extended the score.

With AC Milan trailing by two goals, Parma struggled to come back. In the eighty-seventh minute, Zhang Shujie received a wonderful pass from Li Mu and swept into the net with his left foot, the score became 2:3, and there was still one goal missing, but now time is running out.

Including stoppage time, there are only about five or six minutes left. Although the fans at the Tardini Stadium cheered for Parma, due to the gap between the two teams, and time was running out, Parma failed to score another goal and lost at home.

Marino had no choice but to accept his fate, and in the press conference after the game, he said: "I accept this ending, according to my intention, I want to keep the draw and win, but AC Milan is too strong, Ibrahimovic has almost no solution. ”

Allegri, as the winner, said to the media in a comfortable mood: "Parma are very tenacious, their Chinese striker is amazing, and I am very impressed. But I'm going to say now that my players are even better. ”

It's an indisputable fact that AC Milan are better. "Milan Sport" even praised Ibrahimovic: "He is so good, no one in Parma's defenders can stop him, AC Milan's attacks come from his feet, he is a well-deserved core." ”

At the same time, "Milan Sports Newspaper" did not forget to praise Zhang Shujie, who scored two goals: "He is very good, he is the only player who can compete with Ibrahimovic in the whole game, and he will never be bad at AC Milan's striker." ”

Milan Sport gave each player a rating, with Ibrahimovic scoring a top 9, Zhang Shujie 8.5 and Li Mu 6. This is slightly different from the ratings of "Slow Motion" and "Digital Sports", which gave Zhang Shujie and Ibu the joint highest score of 8.5, and "Digital Sports", which also made the two tie for first place, but with a score of 9.

Digital Sports added: "He (Zhang Shujie) finally played his due strength in this game after a slump in the previous game, and a total of four league goals also kept him in third place in the scorers' list." But alas, today he met AC Milan. ”

Marino looked at the recent results and had a headache. In the six games he has been in charge of Parma, he has had a good start, but in the last three rounds of the league, the team has drawn one and lost two, scored four goals and conceded seven, and has not won three consecutive games, and the ranking in the standings has dropped from fifth to eighth, a drop of three places.
