After the last game, in the next few days, Balic was very desperate to increase the amount of training, the most important of which is physical and defensive training, Balic is very smart, he understands what Jingyang said in the locker room, if he can't adapt to the club's system, then there has always been a result, that is, to sit on the bench or wait for the transfer, he knows more clearly that it is not a simple thing to want to transfer, if he does not get the results, there will be no big club at all.

Although Jingyang didn't say anything to Balich, but Balic's efforts he could see, Jingyang didn't value how rebellious the player's talent was, but more importantly, the player's effort, no matter how good your talent is, if you don't work hard to cash in on this talent the day after tomorrow, it's just empty talent.

Parma training ground: "Okay, Balic take a break, it's good to work hard, but don't over-consume your potential, the training should be gradual, not rushed, and the daily food, you must strictly follow the diet arranged by our club's professional nutritionist, of course, you don't need to train your muscle groups too much, your suitable path should be Pirlo's model, Pirlo you teach him." Jingyang said and looked at Pirlo on the side.

"Okay head, Balic, we are very optimistic about you, but you have to remember that what the head said is right, you can't rush to the right way, you don't have to increase your muscles too much if you want to strengthen your own confrontation, like us as an organized midfielder, you should focus on exercising the muscles of the legs, waist, and abdomen."

Balic was happy in his heart after hearing this, at least this proves that he is still valued by the club, if he really gives up on himself, then Jingyang can completely ignore it.

On February 8th, Parma played away against Renate, and many young players in the Parma team were absent in this game, because these players had to report to the national team after the game, in this case, Jingyang directly gave them a holiday, so that they could adjust and prepare for international competitions, in fact, Jingyang prefers the young players to participate in more international competitions, because to be honest, the tempering significance of the Italian third division league is not as good as the national competition.

Finally, at the end of the first half, Parma relied on Balotelli's header to lead Reinate 1:0 into the halftime break, Jingyang asked the team doctor in the locker room, although Romero could continue to play without major events, but Jingyang still decided to replace him.

"You also saw it at the end of the first half, don't be in a hurry in the second half, be careful of the opposing player's malicious fouls, and be sure to protect yourself."

At the beginning of the second half, Jingyang made a substitution, Alberto. Cherry replaces Romero. In the 50th minute, Reynat defender Iowen viciously tackled Mertens, and the referee ran over to show a yellow card.
