Chapter 218 Away draw with Parma

Parma are probably the least established club in Serie A at the moment, and the whole team has been in decline since the jail of their boss Tanzi. With huge debts, the team has been fully mortgaged to the bank, and theoretically, every Parma player is now a non-performing asset of the bank. The club was held under the trusteeship of the government, and the team owner became a government commissioner.

Look around for a buyer to take over, and give some money Parma is yours, as long as you are willing to help pay off the debt. It is said that Sanz, the former president of Real Madrid and a wealthy Spanish businessman, has some ideas to be the culprit.

Third from bottom in the league and losing 3-0 in the first leg of the UEFA Cup, the mighty team that won the UEFA Cup four years ago is likely to miss next season in Europe for the fifteenth consecutive year.

Parma's European honours are the most successful Italian team in the Italian league except for the top three in the north (AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus).

Ten years ago, when the 'Serie A Seven Sisters' dominated the world, it was at the height of Parma's heyday, when they fought Juventus until the last minute in the league, the Coppa Italia and the UEFA Cup. Although they only won the League Cup in the end, Parma were undoubtedly the same team as the top three in the north. In just ten years, the current Parma has been reduced to licking his face and asking the Italian Football Association to change the league schedule for him, so that he can calmly deal with the League Cup, but he was thrown back directly by the bigwigs without giving him any face.

Where is there still the domineering of the past, where to talk about the former status.

Piette Camignani, the former chief assistant to Sacchi, the head of the '100 best coaches in the history of world football', took over the responsibility of saving Parma from the departure of Bardini at the end of last year, and from the current situation, he has not done a good job, which shows that an outstanding assistant coach is not necessarily a qualified manager.

Maybe he wasn't to blame for that. Three years ago, Camignani took over from Argentine coach Pasarella, who had lost five in a row, and on that occasion he won Parma's last trophy, the Coppa Italia to date.

The hearts of the people are confused, and the team is not easy to lead!

For Camignani, the 3-0 win in the first leg was a relief, as it allowed him to stop struggling with the trade-offs between the league and the UEFA Cup, and to finish the game against Madiburg and focus on the league and the Chievo game (look at the fucking schedule).

Parma fielded half of the bench, but several big players who returned from minor injuries were all on the line-up, with goalkeepers Frei, Bonella, Mofeo and Gilardino in the line-up, and the heavyweight central axis may need to warm up for the rest of the league.

The game was a bit dull, with both sides a bit unmotivated, with most of the time in possession at the back. Frei saved three first-half shots from Zojan, Gomes and Arshavin, while Madiborg goalkeeper Handanovic was idle and Parma's 19-year-old striker Petro Polo headed wide of the post.

In the second half, the two sides began to change players one after another, and in the 60th minute, Debich was already standing on the sidelines and preparing to replace Zhuo Yang, but was hurriedly stopped by Uncle Scum: "Wait a minute, wait for Zhuo Yang to finish this free kick." ”

At a distance of almost 40 metres, Zhuo Yangyun's treacherous slash drew the exclamations of more than 10,000 fans in the Tardini Stadium, and Frey was convinced that the ball would be ridiculously high over the crossbar, but he was wrong.

After Zhuo Yang got off the field, he threw his jersey to a small group of Madiburg fans in the stands. His brilliant free-kick ended the game once and for all, and no other team in the world could score five goals in Madiburg in such a short period of time.

However, substitute Gilardino came on for Pisanu to score a face-up goal from Parma in the 88th minute, his only goal of the season, and the two sides ended up in a 1-1 draw, with Madiborg advancing to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup 4-1 on aggregate.

Parma had a bleak season, finishing the season with their lowest ranking since entering the first division. However, it was in the relegation play-offs with Bologna that Parma played the most relegation battle in the history of Serie A.

In June, Parma lost 1-0 at home to Bologna in the first leg. The impetuous Parma in the third minute of stoppage time, Simplicio and the opponent Locatelli had a friction on the field, and then triggered a fight between the benches of the two teams, the coaches of both sides Mazzoni and Carmignani received red cards for rushing into the field, and the situation was extremely unfavorable for Parma!

Four days later, the fateful match of Parma began at the Stadio d'Arra in Bologna, with the retired Golden Whistle Colina invited to officiate the last match of his career.

Two first-half goals from Cardone and Gilardino secured Parma's relegation, and the sight of Gilardino rushing to Parma's fan zone to receive cheers after scoring has become an indelible memory for the fans. It was this scene that made the striker, who missed out on the top scorer by one goal for two consecutive seasons, capture the hearts of many fans and truly become famous.

After this season, Gilardino moved to AC Milan for 25 million euros, and his transfer fee allowed the embarrassed Parma to register for the new season and settle a considerable part of the salary arrears of his former team-mates.

After the midweek European break, Madiborg, the only Bundesliga side in the UEFA Cup, continued to soar, while Bayern Munich, the only remaining Champions League winners, failed to go any further, losing in the quarter-finals.

Piggy Schweinsteiger lost 5:6 to Ribery Scar in two rounds.

Scar gave Chelsea the lead in the opening four minutes of the first leg at Stamford Bridge, with Piggy not equalising for Bayern with a long-range strike until the 52nd half. In the next 20 minutes, Frank Lampard scored twice and Drogba added the icing on the cake. Ballack scored a penalty in stoppage time to make it 2-4 and leave some hope for Bayern Munich.

The night before Madiburg knocked out Parma, Magath failed to play Mourinho's Tai Chi at the Olympic Stadium in Munich, with Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba twice giving Chelsea the lead on the road, and Pizarro and Guerreiro twice equalising for Bayern.

Master Piggy rewrote the score of the second leg to 3:2 at the last minute, but it was difficult to save the fate of the team's elimination.

"Zhuo Yang, I heard that you made a bet with Little Pig that whoever can't go to Monaco in August will find a yacht and invite everyone to play for a few days, isn't it true?" Scar's eyebrows fluttered on the other end of the phone.

"I'm going to make a bet with you, you need six girls on the yacht, how about it? Zhuo Yang, do you dare to bet? ”

With second brother Montolivo's Juventus also eliminated by Liverpool 2:1 on aggregate, Franke Ribery became the only figure of the Six Musketeers in the Champions Cup.
