The next day, the Milan newspaper broke the news that a number of teams in Group A of the Italian League C jointly hoped that the Football Association could forcibly promote Parma, Parma stayed in the Italian League C It was a nightmare for them, but the Football Association did not respond, because even if Parma was forcibly promoted, it was meaningless, and this season it can be said that as long as Parma does not have a huge accident, Parma has won all 17 games after 17 rounds of league games, with as many as 51 points, and the second-place Brescia has 32 points, The 19-point gap leads the standings, and some outside media even write that Parma is basically certain to upgrade.
After the victory over Renate, Parma's unbeaten record reached 72 games, and Jingyang was very much looking forward to the system if he could reach 100 unbeaten games, the system would reward a full value of attributes. Interestingly, the League Cup semi-final opponent has been announced, which is Renate FC.
The players played very well in the last game, Jingyang deliberately let the canteen add food at noon, after the big victory, the players talked and laughed on the training ground, of course, there was also an unhappy Donati, now Donati's position is a little awkward, there is Vincenzo in the right winger position, there is Dickman at right back, Donati can only play as a substitute, but although he is somewhat reluctant, Donati also knows in his heart that his position in the team, and there is no other club interested in him.
Parma played Cittagella at home on February 5, and the last meeting between the two teams won with a score of 5:0, but Jingyang will not underestimate the opponent, Jingyang knows that only by maintaining respect for the opponent at all times and going all out is the right idea.

In the ninth minute of the first half, Parma got a corner kick opportunity, Vincenzo took a corner kick, and there was a scuffle in the penalty area, Mertens grabbed the second drop point and pushed it, but unfortunately the ball flew off the bottom line.
The head coach of Citadella is also very smart to seize Balic's point and hit hard, creating a lot of problems for Parma, Jingyang shook his head in the coach's seat, Balic is still too young, at this time, he should take the initiative to call his teammates for help if he knows that his defense is not good, it seems that he should let him practice more, he is still far behind,
The two sides have attacked each other, in the seventeenth minute, Milinkovic stole the ball and stuffed the ball straight to Romero, Romero took the ball past Michelle and crossed the ball to Balotelli, Balotelli kicked the goal, but unfortunately the ball was saved by Alfonso, Parma got a corner kick, Vincenzo took a corner kick Balotelli grabbed the first point, but there was no angle of attack, the ball was given to Mertens in the penalty area, Mertens kicked and pushed, this time Mertens did not waste the opportunity, and steadily hit the ball into Citadeira's goal, drop!

Jingyang stood up from the coach's seat: "Don't worry, steady, Mario adjusts his breathing, calm down, Balic runs for me when he defends, I let you play to let you walk?" Jingyang shouted.
In the 39th minute, Vincenzo broke through with the ball down the right flank, and Citadeira full-back Salvi tripped Vincenzo while defending, and the referee pulled out a yellow card as a warning.
At the end of the first half, Parma finally entered the break with a score of 1:0, Jingyang in the dressing room: "We had a lot of opportunities in the first half, but you didn't grasp the chances, and turned the chances into goals, Balotelli, your running and grabbing points in the first half were very good, don't be in a hurry in the second half, wait patiently for the opportunity, I believe you can!" Balic, your problem is more serious, I don't know what your coach asked you when you were in Udinese, but you remember me Parma's tactics are all attacking and defending, Vincenzo, Mertens will be involved in defense when the opponent is attacking, remember that you are a midfielder, in addition to attacking, you should do a good job of defense, if you are still like this in the second half, you can give me down! Jingyang said coldly, Balic lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, Jingyang glanced at him and didn't bother to continue to talk about him, the reason is very simple, as a player, it is not the team coach to cooperate with you, but you to cooperate with the skills and tactics of this team! If you can't do it, fuck off!
In the 55th minute of the second half, Balic was once again slack in defense, and Jingyang stood up and replaced him with Luis. Cook, Balich ignored the scene, and Pirlo walked over to talk to him.
Substitute Luiz. Cook is very active, the scramble is more courageous, not afraid of physical confrontation, Jingyang nodded with satisfaction, in the 58th minute Cook organized an attack in the front, saw Dickman plugged in, and passed the ball to the right wing, Dickman took the ball and crossed, Balotelli's header was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper Alfonso from the bottom line, Vincenzo took a corner kick, Romero's header hit the goal and the ball was off the bottom line.

Jingyang smiled and nodded, it seems that Mertens is a player who values the collective, and in the face of the opportunity to score a hat-trick, he chose to pass the ball to Balotelli, who is in a better position, which shows that he values the team's victory more than personal data, and Balotelli also gave him two assists today, Balotelli hugged Mertens after scoring a goal.
In the 80th minute, Jingyang made a substitution and replaced Milinkovic with Karmena, Milinkovic's performance today was already very good, but with such a thick bench depth, Jingyang didn't like to consume a player to death, and when it was time to rest, he should let the player rest and rest, and by the way, let Karmena find the feeling of the game.
After that, Cittadella also organized several attacks, but they were all defused by Parma players one by one, and finally Parma won the game 3-0 at home at the end of the game.
After the game, Pirlo found Jingyang: "Head, just now Balic took the initiative to find Palombo to seek defensive training and teaching, I think this kid has always been the core of the attack in Udinese, mainly playing in the front midfield, and he has not adjusted for a while, coupled with Chitadeira's targeting of him, he panicked." "Hmph, even if he's a little self-motivated, I don't plan to punish him or anything, I'm very optimistic about this player, and then you and Palombo will be tired and teach him well!" Jingyang said.
