The Times reporters made a special trip to Parma to interview Wang Dalong, and they were happy to see Wang Dalong and Mourinho scolding him in the air, after all, Mourinho was described as a child who talked about money, which was quite unpleasant.

Wang Dalong simply said: "Of course I love money, who doesn't like money?" Why should I play if I don't like money? From beginning to end, I played because of money, and fans who know me well know that when I first played in the amateur league, I played for money, and I played hard for others to win the 2,000 yuan best scorer award. ”

"Money solves a lot of problems, especially when your problems are big and big, whether it's Parma or Manchester City, they have given me enough money, what can I say but thank you and give my best for it? I took so much money and put in so much effort that I didn't think it was anything at all. Maybe he's just unhappy that I didn't go to Manchester United, but it's not my problem, it's Manchester United'......"

Yes, it's a problem with Manchester United and Jose Mourinho, not with Wang.

"What can you bring to Parma this season?"

"This season? We're still going in the Coppa Italia, Europa League and the league, we only know at the end of the season, but now we're most concerned about the quarter-finals of the Europa League and then it's a tough game against Lyon and I hope we can progress to the quarter-finals. ”

"Do you have the confidence to score in a game?"

"I don't need confidence to score goals......"

※※※※

A week later, Lyon arrived in Parma.

In preparation for this game, Lyon held a draw against a weaker opponent in the league and gave up the chance to take all three points. Of course, this has no effect on them, and they are eleven points ahead of fifth, and they can completely ignore the league.

Although Lyon are not in the best position in the league, they are a real powerhouse in Ligue 1, a team that has caused many problems for other teams in the Champions League and Europa League for many years. Even Champions League giants Real Madrid have been defeated at their feet.

They have been on a strong streak of late, having won five in a row before last weekend's draw, and might have continued to win if they hadn't come off the bench in the league.

In the words of head coach Genesio, it is, "Lyon can eat any strong team in the world, because Lyon is a strong team in its own right." Lyon is strong when it is strong! ”

Genesio's words are not bragging, Lyon is such a team, they are not afraid of any opponent and have always been tough. Before PSG did not rise, Lyon had been the hegemon of Ligue 1. In the Lyon team, which still had Benzema, they had seven consecutive victories without any opponents, and of course, they had only won seven league titles in total, and that was the period.

But these seven championships have made them truly a strong team and formed their own team heritage and culture. After that, they played pretty well no matter what team they were up against, and that's what makes a team qualitatively different and what it takes to get out of it.

'Parma are strong but we're not afraid of them, we're not here to travel and I think if we can get a draw here then back at home we are confident of being the winners.' A lot of managers who came to Parma like to say that, but the end result was not so ideal, the last time the manager said that it was Slutsky, but he conceded eight goals.

Genesio must have been well aware of this, and it had only been a week, but he had said it with all the confidence. "Lyon is not CSKA, Lyon will always be Lyon."

"Parma welcomes everyone who comes here and contributes a beautiful football game together, and I make predictions from the game because football is played with the feet. Parma are well prepared, the players are in good shape, the lads have dreams in their hearts and they know how to play this game well. Crespo was very low-key and didn't go toe-to-toe with Genesio, Parma had little experience with Lyon, they were almost eliminated in the last round, and if it weren't for his home prowes, he wouldn't have had time to talk about it right now.

'The team is ready for Lyon and what is needed now is for the Parma fans to come to the stadium to support the team and we will not let them down.'

On that day, the Tardini stadium was full, not supporting Parma at this time, when will it do?

Guedes won back the respect of the fans with their excellent performance, and there were no more boos in the fan base, and they hoped that the team could beat the opponent directly with an 8-0 like the last game, and then they didn't need to think about the away game.

Huang Jianxiang was directly sent to Palma by the TV station to do on-site commentary, and he no longer stayed in China at all.

"It's a pity that the Tardini Stadium is a little smaller, otherwise the atmosphere of the fans would be even stronger." Parma has never been a giant, just a small temple, and the stadium is naturally not big, no matter how big it is, there are not so many fans watching the game. "Alas, Wang Dalong is leaving Parma this summer, and the fans are hoping that he can bring some honours, such as the Europa League title?"

"But from a personal point of view, Wang Dalong has achieved unprecedented success, and if he can also win club honours, then this season is quite perfect. Leapfrogging Lyon, they will reach the quarter-finals of the Europa League. But Lyon's team is not easy to mess with, Crespo's team doesn't know if it's really ready, don't think that Lyon drew a weak team in the league, just think that Lyon is not strong, it's an illusion. ”

"If you pay close attention to Ligue 1, then you can see that Lyon's defense is quite good, 29 league games, only four defeats! And an average of two goals per game. Of course, their defence is mediocre, conceding an average of one goal per game. In other words, Lyon's attack is okay, Parma may not be able to hold on without conceding, but it can't prevent Parma from scoring. ”

"But when the game is played at this point, the cup game cannot be sloppy, the game cannot be played openly, and both sides are expected to play more conservatively. Since it is conservative, there will not be such a terrible score as in the previous round. Huang Jianxiang was set the tone by this game.

Genesio and Crespo are not stupid, they will not stun their heads, they can't score goals, and conceding goals is the most terrible. Don't concede a goal, try to score, that's the philosophy of the knockout game.

And that tone did show up in the game.

In the first ten minutes of the opening game, the game was a little dull, both sides did not understand the opponent, so they did not dare to attack, the first ten minutes were tentative, and no one pulled up the rhythm.

Wang Dalong is more in the midfield to comb and stabilize the ball. Everyone at Lyon was quite serious defensively, and the man-to-man defence of everyone in Parma's front from the start of the game was a bit of a surprise in modern football. I thought that zone defense instead of man-to-man defense was all in vogue right now.

This also made Parma's players a little uncomfortable, and Kuvas and Guedes, who usually like to break through on the two wings, couldn't get excited, even if they were just excited, they were stared at.

In the first 20 minutes, Parma failed to create any chances, that is, Wang Dalong broke through with the ball in front of him several times and did not create opportunities.

"Haven't scored yet?" The fans waited a little urgently, according to the routine of the previous round of games, Parma should have taken a 2-0 lead. Not to mention playing 8:0, playing 2:0 is also fun.

Both sides are playing cautiously, especially Lyon, whose goal is still focused on defence, and they may not have thought that Parma's goal was there before the game, and the bus was quite beautiful.

As a result, the half-time game ended like this?

"A boring draw." It's not a game that the fans want, they want to see goals, more goals, but Wang Dalong didn't surprise them.

"The draw is a tactical one." It's a pity that the fans can't hear Huang Jianxiang's explanation, otherwise they wouldn't be so pessimistic, "The attention of both sides is quite focused, and the tactical execution is quite high, this is a game that no one can afford to lose, since they can't afford to lose, they have to be patient to find each other's loopholes, both teams did quite well in the first half." But Crespo should be able to be more proactive, after all, he has Wang Dalong in his team, and he has to try to press forward a little bit in the second half, and he can't just expect a draw, so what if he goes to the away side? ”

Crespo didn't want to, but for now, seeking stability is indeed the most realistic, and he even hoped that Lyon could give a few set-pieces, but Lyon was shrewd and would not give Wang Dalong such a chance. Sometimes, a team with few stars has a lot of cohesion and tactical execution, and a star team may not have that kind of performance. Big names like Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, they might walk around the pitch and not defend, but Lyon are clearly not.

Out of fear and concern for Wang Dalong, they were condensed into a rope, and the whole team's defense has been perfect so far.

However, Wang Dalong and they don't agree, they will definitely find a way to score.

Crespo didn't make any substitutions at the start of the second half, but he made tactical adjustments and it was true that he needed to be a little more proactive. Or maybe he deliberately put the attacking time in the second half.

Since Lyon are only interested in a draw, Parma should indeed be a little braver. Therefore, the style of painting on the pitch changed instantly, and Parma finally took the initiative to raise the rhythm.

However, it was only limited to the first four people, and Casey and Ampadu did not press up. No matter how Wang Dalong tossed in front of them, there were still five people left in the backcourt to concentrate on defending in case the Lyon team counterattacked.

The head coach of Lyon did not expect this, and it was purely a matter of individual ability to solve the problem. The front court is casually done, and if you score a goal, you can't score or lose points, so capricious.

Lyon seized a couple of counter-attacking opportunities, but Parma had too many people left in central midfield and the counter-attack didn't work out at all.

Until the 70th minute, the score was still 0-0.

A draw is acceptable for Lyon, and if they draw at Parma away, it will be much easier to play at home.

However, the style of the game changed again.

Parma's pace is faster, as if there is a constant and inexhaustible stamina!

Genesio finally couldn't sit still, stood up and commanded the game, the ball barely left the Lyon half, which was terrifying, and his heart had to beat up and down with the ball all the time.

Then, tragedy struck at this time.

Although he was far from goal, he could clearly see what was happening.

Handball!

Genesio's players handball!

Sweating profusely, he immediately looked at the referee.

The referee's gesture was incredibly fast, signaling the handball directly and pointing to the penalty spot.

Of course, the person who moved faster than the referee was Wang Dalong, who was the first to raise his right hand and signal the opponent to foul.

"Hey! Damn, this ball is unintentional! ”

There is no distinction between intentional and unintentional handballs, as long as the arm is stretched out and the path of the ball is blocked, the referee can judge it as a handball.

Only, where did this penalty come from?

Wang Dalong, who wanted to laugh a little but didn't dare to laugh out loud, was full of ecstasy!

Because the penalty was created by him, or did he deliberately kick it into the opponent's hand.

At that time, the big penalty area was dense, and he couldn't find a better way, so he picked up the ball and aimed it at the opponent's arm. Unexpectedly, the ball really hit the opponent's arm.

With the technical work under his feet, doing something out of the ordinary at such a close distance still has a great chance of success.

The process of this handball is constantly replayed in slow motion, and the shooting is clear, and all the details are clear at a glance.

Wang Dalong's eyes kept staring at the opponent's left hand before picking up the ball......

So much so that Huang Jianxiang muttered to himself: "This ball, how do I feel, it seems that Wang Dalong deliberately kicked it into the opponent's hand?" ”

"Probably not, right?" He rolled his eyes in his heart, preferring to believe that it was not true, after all, it was too unethical......

But he was not the only one who thought so, after all, Wang Dalong's expression was too weird, and his focus was also very suspicious, if Genesio saw this detail, he would definitely immediately find the fourth official to protest.

Whoosh –

Wang Dalong's penalty did not have a trace of suspense, and it was scored quite easily.

1:0！

Parma struggled to take the lead at home......

The fans in the stands finally breathed a long sigh of relief and waited for 70 minutes for the goal to come, albeit only as an untechnical penalty.

"The 14th European goal, he surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo, and it was also his first penalty in Europe, which was a bit disgraceful, but it was significant......
