Chapter 248: Europa League Draw [3]
Newcomers, new atmosphere, Parma is getting younger and younger, almost reaching a terrible level, if you don't put Bonucci in the main lineup, then, Crespo can completely put out a lineup with an average age of only about 20 years old!
At the age of 20, even the crazy Ajax team couldn't do it. No one in international football dares to play like that now, but Parma did!
Kooas is 20, Lincoln is 19, Guedes is 20, Wang Dalong is 23, Ethan is 17, Casey is 20, Upamecano is 20, Mina is 22, Tymon is 19 and Dalot is 19......
Thinking about it like this, Wang Dalong felt that he was really an old man, and he was the oldest player in the audience! Under 24 years old, he is the oldest player, and this time he is a veritable captain, who dares not to listen to him?
The good news is that Guedes, who has been short for half a year, has finally started to return to training, more than two months earlier than originally expected. If he can continue to recover faster and train harder, maybe he will be back in the team in October. Of course, it is impossible for him to follow the team to the Chinese capital now, and he can still train alone, but it is still much better than lying in a hospital bed every day to kill his will.
Wang Dalong is getting familiar with the names of his new teammates again, and he can't remember the new arrivals except for Bonucci, and this summer, he didn't make up for Italian, after all, Italian really doesn't have much use. English is the best language to communicate. Now Parma is no longer an Italian army, but a United Nations army!
China, Portugal, France, Wales, Colombia, Côte d'Ivoire, Italy...... Except for the goalkeepers, it's really a coalition!
It used to be a situation that only happened in the Premier League, but I didn't expect Parma, which had just been promoted to the first division, to have such a day.
As the captain, Wang Dalong was the last to return to the team, and the other teammates had been training for at least two weeks, only he was a stranger to his teammates. One by one, he shook hands with his new teammates and welcomed them. When shaking hands with Bonucci, Wang Dalong was a little unnatural, after all, the two of them had some small stories in the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia last season.
He still wondered in his heart, wondering if Bonucci would still take those little stories to heart? He is Chinese, Chinese thinking is always used to figuring out other people's ideas, but in fact, the attitude of Westerners in the profession is very different, work is always just work, it is impossible to be involved with life, how can Bonucci such an old fritter remember those things? That's just what happens on the pitch as an opponent.
What's more, when Bonucci saw Vieri, it was like meeting a senior, and he was too enthusiastic. Wang Dalong remembered that Vieri said that Bonucci and these young people had been abused by him all the time, and the relationship must have been very good. In this way, it is unlikely that there will be any friction with Bonucci in the future......
Crespo didn't have much time to prepare, only two weeks, and when Guedes failed to recover, he decisively sent out a 4321 formation.
At the back, left-back Diogo Dalot, right-back Tymon, central defenders Upamecano and Mina partnered, and in the midfield position, he temporarily pushed Bonucci up, partnered with Kessie and Pampadu, and the forward position was Couvas and Wang Dalong, with Lincoln in front.
If Guedes returns, then maybe he will turn 4321 into 4231. Now this Christmas tree formation is just right for Juventus.
Because he came to China very early, Crespo could only find a Chinese team to play warm-up matches and train the team. originally wanted to invite Guoan to play a friendly match, but the Guoan Club did not agree, there was no way, Parma could only go to Tianjin to practice and play a friendly match with Tianjin Quanjian.
I thought it was just a simple friendly match and would not attract many fans to watch, but I didn't expect that in addition to the fans, it also attracted a lot of media reporters. Especially the Italian media, the reporters of Milan Sport and Torino Sport have come, and perhaps they all want to see what will become of Parma after the summer buying frenzy?
Anyway, the game process did not disappoint them, Tianjin Quanjian was beaten into a sieve, and was unable to fight back at all. The 3:0 score did not make the fans climax, but surprised the Italian journalists who came from afar.
Despite a lot of adjustments, Parma's performance is still as solid as a dog! Although Tianjin Quanjian can't really test Parma's true strength, Parma's attack is still very sharp, and with Bonucci in the midfield, it seems that the defense has also improved? Although there are all little kids around, the defense is quite good!
It seems that next season, Parma will not be left behind in Serie A.
In this game, Wang Dalong also found a small episode, he saw a familiar figure on the bench of the Quanjian team, that is, Lin Yuanlong.
After half a year of hard work, Lin Yuanlong finally climbed to the bench of the Quanjian team, but he didn't have a chance to play in the whole game, and it seems that he still has to continue to work hard.
Of course, Lin Yuanlong has also been looking at Wang Dalong from the bench, and his heart has long since lost the disdain and impulse of the year, because Wang Dalong back then had already pulled him too far and too far, so far that he had no comparison, only sighing in his heart.
One is an obscure Quanjian substitute, and the other is a superhero who has made a name for himself in Europe and is killing all sides in the national team, better than what?
Meanwhile, the draw for the 2017-2018 Europa League group stage has also come out. Vieri's luck when he returned halfway through the draw for the European representative club, like his luck in business, was really average.
Parma drew a not-so-lucky draw...... Perhaps, because of Vieri?
Except for Wang Dalong, who said he was quite happy, everyone else was dumbfounded.
How did you get Arsenal?
This season's Arsenal, after more than ten years, came to the Europa League for the first time, and the team, which was crowned the favorite to win the Europa League, actually let Parma meet it!
The other team is from Cologne in the Bundesliga.
The last one is the old Eastern European powerhouse Red Star Belgrade?
How do you look at it, it's a bit like the Death Group? And not just bad luck? However, after careful analysis, there is no real scary point, and there is no need to worry too much about other teams except Arsenal. Six group games, a long season.
Only Wang Dalong is laughing......
