Chapter 422: Efficiency
Chapter 422 Efficiency
After returning to the league, Parma immediately ushered in the match against Regina, in this game, Parma did not make another mistake, with the momentum after the big win over Austria Vienna, they easily defeated their opponents, got a 3-1 victory, and conquered a city again.
Then, in the home game against Austrian Vienna, they didn't even have a professional player in the main team, and they easily won the victory.
After playing this round, Parma also advanced to the last four of the UEFA Cup. They need to face Moscow in the semi-finals, and if they win, they will reach the final against the winners of Sporting CP and AZ Alkmaar in the Netherlands.
Comparatively. Parma are lucky, and in the final four, they are the only remaining teams in the top five leagues, and their strength can be said to be a little better than the others. And they were drawn by the weakest of the four, the Moscow Army, rather than the more difficult Dutch or Portuguese, which gave them a better chance of winning. However, the trouble is that because it is a home and away game, which means that they have to make a trip to Moscow. Although April is not a particularly cold time, the long journey and the low temperature of the race will put Parma's physical strength to the test.
But fortunately, it is still the Moscow-Russian Premier League team, and the farthest is the Vladivostok team, Yang Hao is hard to imagine, if he wins that kind of team, play a League Cup and run to the edge of the Pacific Ocean, then he really doesn't know what to do.
And what makes Yang Hao feel the most tricky is the schedule.
Parma's home game against the ZhongyΔng Army was played on April 29. The match with Livorno was on April 24, and the match against Roma was on May 1, and then, on May 6, the away game against the Army, and on May 8, we had to fly back to play Milan -- to put it mildly, considering the distance, it is estimated that after playing Moscow, we will have to think about playing Milan after getting off the plane and sleeping.
It's a schedule that makes people want to curse over it. And what makes people want to curse the street even more is that after playing Milan, they will play Juventus, and if they can defeat the ZhongyΔng Army, they will play Juventus on May 15 and Juventus on May 19, and they will go to the League Cup final.
The more you get to the last moment, the more trouble you have. Roma, Milan, Juventus, these three teams played all the way, but it was extremely difficult. Coupled with the Interspersed League Cup, this game is simply one game after another, trying to drive people to death. Yang Hao himself estimated that at that time, it would really not work, so he would have to give up some games.
And if you want to throw points at that time, you have to earn enough points now. Otherwise, at the end of the day, Yang Hao is not sure that he will be able to get the top six, and he can continue to play in the Europa League next season.
As for Champions League qualification...... It's better to be sensible and don't think about it. There are still eight rounds of matches, and in the best case, Parma is also in the early 60s at most, which is not enough to compete for Udinese. What's more, back-to-back wins over Milan and Juventus at the end of the season? Is the Holy Alliance a joke?
In this case, then in these games, it is good to go all out to grab points.
Immediately, against Chievo, Parma won a victory even though they were playing away. After all, Chievo is not the flying donkey of the previous two years, Parma beat them, there is still no problem, this game, Parma relied on Gilardino's play, and won the victory.
And next, against Sampdoria, Parma also relied on home advantage to win the game. The three consecutive victories also made Parma's points soar, reaching 49 points, which is not far from the 50-point requirement that Yang Hao wants.
It's just that the next games are not easy to play......
Looking at the schedule and the approaching game, Yang Hao also made a plan, the big deal, just give up the game with Milan.
After all, coming back from Russia and playing Milan for a day off, this is not a human job.
And now, what Palma needs to think about is the approaching Moscow ZhongyΔng Army. It was the last stumbling block before Parma and the final, and now Parma is going to move it away.
And at this time, Parma also ordered a very important issue: this season's Golden Boot is likely to be decided at this time.
Parma's match against Livorno was very hyped before the start of the season - because this season, Parma and Livorno, although they are both teams in the middle of the table, they have a big similarity - they both have a top player in the league, at the top of the league.
This season, Serie A is also facing a reshuffle, and several outstanding players in the past, such as Vieri of Inter Milan, Shepchenko of Milan, etc., have not played very well this season. Vieri's strong body has finally come to an end, in the first half of this season, he began a long ball drought, and in the second half of the season, due to the impact of injuries and the rise of Adriano, his opportunities are getting fewer and fewer, and he completely faded out of Inter Milan.
And Shepchenko just won the Golden Ball, which should have been said to be the most outstanding time, but his performance this season has also declined compared to last season. Although Milan has repeatedly emphasized Shepchenko's love for Milan and said that he will not go to Chelsea as rumored, Shepchenko's own attitude has always been a little confusing, making it difficult to assert. And this naturally affected his performance, and he didn't score too many goals.
This makes this season, the top three players in the list are Livorno's Lucarelli, Parma's Gilardino and Palermo's Toni.
Speaking of which, this is the first time in a long time that the top three players in Serie A are all Italian players. However, it is difficult to say whether this is the revitalization of Italian football and the emergence of talents in the national team, or whether Yang Hao believes that Italian football is facing a decline and the strength of foreign aid is declining.
And this game, Parma faced Livorno, which is the key match between Gilardino and Lucarelli for the top spot in the handover list.
To Yang Hao's surprise, before the game, he rarely heard some friendly speeches about him.
"I think Coach Yang Hao is a good coach, China is a very good country, they have had great people like Mao, they have a lot of thinkers and fighters, so there will be good coaches, I hope that one day, I can cooperate with Coach Yang Hao......"
Lucarelli was very enthusiastic in an interview, not only praising his national team compatriot Gilardino, but also praising Yang Hao. And the reason also made Yang Hao quite a little crying and laughing: because Yang Hao is Chinese, and Lucarelli has a good impression of China.
Livorno is a team of left-handed professionals, while Lucarelli is a staunch professional. Not only him, but many fans of Livorno are such people, the logo of their fan organization is composed of gears and ears of wheat, they even like to write slogans in Russian, and even when they play, they will hold the head of Che Guevara, hold the sickle and axe flag of professional players, and their team song also ends with 'Long live professional players, **Long live' - and whenever Livorno and Lazio play, on the one hand, the red flag is displayed, sickle and axe, long live professional players, and on the other hand, they are dressed in black, The Iron Cross flag, the scolding shook the sky - too much of it will even give people the illusion of dreaming back to World War II......
What made Yang Hao cry and laugh was that at this time, he expressed his support for Yang Hao.
What a funny guy - it's a pity, even if you're a professional, I'm going to have to make you completely unplayed!
"Hello everyone, this is Parma vs Livorno and a key match for the Golden Boot between Gilardino and Lucarelli. Ahead of this game, the tally of goals for Lucarelli stands at 20 while Gilardino has tally 19. Their goal numbers are quite close and they are the strongest contenders for the Golden Boot. Moreover, Gilardino has contributed 46 goals for Parma, which is the third lowest player in Parma's all-time list, and although it is difficult to catch Crespo's 66, we believe that he could catch up with Gianfranco Zola's 49 and become Parma's second best dribbling list. It seems that Parma also has the intention of touting him as the best passer, and in this game, Parma's tactics tilted him a lot......"
No one expected that Parma would make a big adjustment in this game. Rossi did not play in this game, Parma used a formation of 451, the backfield was still on, Parma did not have a professional player on the back three they are already familiar with, but moved Chiellini back to the full-back position, and let Cannavaro Jr. and Bonella form a center-back combination, and the right-back is still a professional player on the Zim Bonda, trying the back four again. In midfield, Parma rarely let Mofeo lag behind, and Melo and Yaya Toure formed a back three, while in front of them, there were two front-backs of Bresciano and Marchioni, and in front, Gilardino as a single arrow.
The formation of the back four is indeed a little worse defensively, but the three backs in the front court make up for some of this problem. And their purpose in doing this is obviously to allow Bresciano, Marchioni and Morfeo to play at the same time, and this formation is almost a naked telling the opponent - we are here to score goals, what can you do?
'Parma are really bold, after three wins in a row their morale has improved and now they are playing very boldly. Their players have at least proven their quality now, but it remains to be seen if they can win this game. β
Parma's quality, after so long, everyone has seen it, they rely a lot on the athleticism of their players, and when they play on a single line and have enough energy, they are almost unstoppable. Whether it was at the beginning of the second half of the season, when they were fighting on a single line in that month, they were able to defeat strong opponents, and when it came to the need to entangle with Stuttgart and Sevilla, Parma's combat effectiveness also decreased, and when it took too much effort in the League Cup, the league strength dropped a lot. When it comes to playing weak teams in the League Cup, they immediately come back to life in the league, and now they are even approaching the European zone in advance - their strength is largely limited by physical strength and personnel. When they have the ability, they can play well, but when they don't have the stamina and don't have enough strength to juggle both ends, they play a bit badly.
And this game, it is clear that they are ready to go all out, and this has made many commentators immediately interested.
Parma's attack was carried out very quickly. Almost not long after the game began, they used a wide attack to get the attack up. This is quite a pass that is not in line with Parma's habits, Marchioni didn't even do too much stirring, just passed the ball out, the 45Β° diagonal cross played very beautifully, directly behind the Livorno defense, and in the middle of the Gilardino rushed to the front, taking advantage of the opponent's back line did not have time to return to the defense, Gilardino rushed up, he used an extremely beautiful rush, into Parma's first goal!
"Gilardino scores first! He caught up with Lucarelli and tied for the top spot! β
When the call was around, Yang Hao also wanted to watch his adjustment and nodded.
Parma's style of play is quite surprising, they do not have the usual ground ball tactics this season, but from the beginning, they pressed a lot, wanting to rely on the offensive to decide the winner.
This is very much out of their habitγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
However, Yang Hao knows very well what he is doing.
A few days later, Parma will play against the Moscow ZhongyΔng Army. Because of Russia's special environmental climate, Yang Hao does not think that he can ensure a victory back when he arrives away. The team in the Russian Premier League, the home advantage is too great, which is a problem that must be considered. Therefore, in Yang Hao's mind, the best way is to win the game with a big score at his home field early, and then when it comes to the away side, he might as well learn the turtle to pass the test.
However, Yang Hao also realized another problem with Parma - their attacks were not very sharp. In fact, because Parma's main tactics are mainly defensive and counter-attacking, their goals are ,γγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
