Chapter 279: Meet Parma Again

At the same time as the media is looking ahead, the official Serie A and Juventus officials are also looking forward to the new season, and Zhang Yuan was fortunate to be interviewed by them and answered a lot of questions about his personal views. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

In response to the media's concerns about Juventus' road to defending the title, Zhang Yuan said: "We have a strong squad now, every player has made important improvements in the experience of last season, and we are stronger than last season! Defending the league title is one of our goals and although there are several other teams that are a big threat to us, we are still the favourites and we are confident that we can achieve it! ”

When asked by reporters about his comments on the rivals in Serie A, Zhang Yuan was not polite, and he first pointed out his old club country Milan.

"The years at Inter have always been in my mind, President Moratti is a good man, it's really not easy for him to stick to it for a long time, they did a great job in the transfer market this summer, they have improved, I think they are our biggest competitors!"

As for the other opponents, Zhang Yuan really brushed it off, he held the same view as many media, and the other teams were quite far behind Juventus, and it was difficult to pose any substantial threat to Juventus' title defense.

On the question of how far Juventus will go in the Champions League, Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Our goal is, of course, to win the championship!" That's the goal of every team in the Champions League! ”

The reporter asked: "Zhang, do you think your team is the best team in the Champions League?!" ”

Zhang Yuan replied unequivocally: "Of course! Our level is no worse than theirs! I think we're on the same level as Real Madrid, Bayern, Barcelona, Chelsea! ”

"So you're the favourites to win the title?!"

"No, we're not hot! But we are one of the contenders! There are no absolute favorites in such a field! Zhang Yuan shook his head and said no.

He actually didn't believe in Juventus' strength as much as he said, but externally, as the leading goalscorer, he should still show the spirit of swallowing everything, as far as he is concerned, he is not afraid of any opponent, Barcelona has also broken through their doors when they are in the sky, and he has played against many world-class players.

As for the outside world paying more attention to his goals, Zhang Yuan sees it as much more indifferent, he has created a new history last season, and he has also been greatly satisfied psychologically, so he now values the team's ability to go further on all fronts.

"Will a new record be set?! I do not know! To be honest, my duty as a striker is of course to score goals, but the team's victory is more important than my goals! I don't have a clear goal in terms of goals, I just want to help the team as much as I can! I hope we can do well on all three lines! ”

Zhang Yuan did not set a clear goal for himself, but Conte did not think so, and with two days to go before the first round against Parma, Conte asked Zhang Yuan on the training ground.

"Do you have any goals for yourself this season?!"

"Uh, the target ......, no!"

"No, you kid can't do this! At the very least, you've got to score 50 or more goals for me this season! Conte laughed.

"50?! Are you kidding?! Coach, scoring goals is not as simple as drinking water and eating! Zhang Yuan actually thinks that he may not be able to do it, for the simple reason that this is a second year, and the media can predict that he will be stress-free, but he himself is skeptical, he is not sure if he can maintain the good form he was last season.

"What?! It's not like you! I don't have any confidence at all! Seriously, you're the most reliable player in our front line, and your main responsibility is to score goals! That's all you need to do! Conte is still smiling, 50 is just his joke, he just wants Zhang Yuan to score as many goals as possible, the reason is that Juventus's other players in the front line are not trustworthy, from last season, it can be seen that Juventus's dependence on Zhang Yuan is actually quite large, and the new season has made up for Giovinco, but Conte does not think that atomic ants can share much pressure on Zhang Yuan.

Therefore, in his opinion, how far Juventus can go in the new season still depends on Zhang Yuan's performance, once Zhang Yuan fails, Juventus's various fronts will be affected.

"I'll give it a try! If you can't do it, you can't punish me! Zhang Yuan thought about it, more than 30 goals in the league, a few in the Champions League, and another point in the Italian Cup, it doesn't seem to be very far from 50.

On Saturday evening, August 25, the 2012-2013 Italian Serie A season kicked off, with Fiorentina hosting Udinese and Juventus hosting Parma for the second.

Last season, the first round of the league was postponed due to the league shutdown, when Juventus started their magical season at home against Parma.

This year, the league is back to normal, Juventus is at home against Parma again, and many superstitious football people believe that this season may start with Parma again, and Juventus has once again ushered in a brilliant season.

No one knows how much the Cows have earned in the transfer market this summer, and no one knows how much money they have spent, as they continue to buy and sell on a player market with mixed spending.

Giovinco and Borini are visible incomes, bringing them a total of 15.9 million euros, and in terms of expenditure, it is visible that Parolo and ValdΓ©s have spent a total of 2.8 million euros.

None of this says much, and no one can figure out whether Giraldi is investing more or making more money, and Giraldi is continuing Parma's crazy journey.

However, they have already fallen into an embarrassment, Giraldi himself did not take much money from his own business to subsidize the team, and when the team gave bonuses, this gentleman actually borrowed 100,000 yuan from his general manager to pay bonuses to the players.

Don't look at the number of players they have registered, coach Donadoni can't figure out how many players he has in his first team, but there are only about 20 people who can be used.

Parma rebounded last season after Donadoni took over, and eventually finished in eighth place, and their thigh Giovinco was bought back half of the ownership by Juventus this season, and their strength inevitably declined.

However, they are not without good news in the new season, the former relegation hero Amaury signed with them freely, Amaury's performance in Juventus and Fiorentina is not excellent, but he was still relatively good in Parma, and he himself is more comfortable in Parma, which is why he chose to take a salary cut to join Parma after the contract expired.

Donadoni took over the Italian national team after the World Cup in Germany, but the record was bad, and he was out of class after the 2008 European Cup, and his coaching ability was also criticized, in fact, he is still a good coach, although he has certain problems with coaching, but the real problem of the Italian national team is that the squad is aging, and the Italian players are not taking over, and then the meritorious coach Lippi returns, what is the result?! Didn't qualify for the World Cup group in South Africa!

After resigning from the national team, Donadoni took over Napoli coaching after a long gap and was swept away by De Laurentiis for his poor record.

Hired as head coach by Cagliari in November 2010, he proved himself here, leading the team to relegation, before being sacked again due to a disagreement with Cagliari's boss, Cerino.

Then he came to Parma from Colomba, where Donadoni showed great coaching ability and successfully transformed Parma, allowing Parma to achieve rare results in recent years.

What's even more rare is that the former Italian national team coach, knowing that Giraldi and other high-level executives are messing around, he has not voluntarily left and is still in this position.

Needless to say, Parma's strength in the new season is worse than last season, and Donadoni is still full of confidence when he faces the defending champions in the first round.

In his pre-match press conference, Donadoni said: "Of course they are favourites! But we'll find a way to cause them a little bit of trouble! We are a young team and are not afraid of any opponent! ”

Defender Zaccardo also showed confidence in the game: "They are the defending champions, but we will show our organisation and cause them problems!" Antonio Conte's absence? Maybe his absence will have some impact on them, but they have a lot of top players in the team and will make up for it! ”
