Chapter 389: The Past Is Unbearable

"RB Leipzig."

"This opponent is not bad, at least better than other opponents."

"But it's definitely not a big package." Crespo muttered at the draw at UEFA headquarters that it would be difficult for God to look at Parma so much, avoiding Atletico Madrid and Lazio.

Of course, RB Leipzig is not a weak team to reach the last four, but they don't have much European experience compared to the other two teams.

RB Leipzig are still in the Europa League next season, and there is basically no pressure on the league and should give it their all against Parma, on the other hand, they also have to juggle the league and the Coppa Italia.

They are still fighting on three fronts, and they don't want to give up on any front.

At the end of the season, every player is at the limit of their fitness and every game is not too good.

The game mentioned that there are not many teams still fighting in the third line, and Parma is simply different.

Parma have no other choice, no matter which one it is, they will not give up, they will try their best, in fact, in the end, there is also a possibility that there is nothing left, and they will not win any championships.

Although they did not meet Lazio in the Europa League, they did in the Coppa Italia.

The German Bild newspaper optimistically said: "RB Leipzig has hope, the German team will never be like the teams in other leagues, always through tactics to win the final victory, the German team, should be attacking!" Offensive! Offensive! Don't think about conceding a few goals, but think about scoring one more goal than your opponent so that you can hopefully reach the final. ”

"Taking a step back, even if you pay attention to technical and tactical play, RB Leipzig is much more mature than Parma, and even the experience of the head coach is much better than Crespo."

RB Leipzig's attacking power is indeed amazing, in the knockout round, although there are many goals conceded, but the goals are more terrifying, there are no famous stars in the team, and the famous ones are poached by other teams, playing team football.

It's the players who aren't famous, so they're more united and they play better football.

In short, this is a team that Parma would never dare to be careless.

Just look at the promotion odds offered by Spinach, they and Parma have the same promotion odds, and in the first leg of the home game in Parma, they just think that Parma will draw in half, that is, the bookmaker even thinks that RB Leipzig may upset and draw Parma away from home.

There are only two steps to win the championship, and at this time, any team in the top four will only think about winning the championship in the end, and the opponent in the semi-finals can only be called a roadblock, and the opponent must be killed.

"Parma are going to the final!" This is the opinion of the Italian media, Milan Sport, anyway, the media must be towards their own domestic clubs.

"I can't find a reason why Parma don't qualify, and even the favorites have been knocked down, what is RB Leipzig's ability? The only one who can stop Parma is Atletico Madrid. ”

Milan Sport believes that only Atletico Madrid is the real opponent of Parma, and the rest of the opponents are floating clouds.

"The game will still be the same as before, Wang Dalong is powerful, or he assists his teammates to score, and then Parma qualifys, and the Parma fans are really happy. Of course, they will have to think about the Coppa Italia match with Lazio first. ”

"Kuvas was injured in training."

Back in Parma, Crespo received such unfortunate news.

The joy of the draw was instantly suppressed by the bad news from Kuvas.

"Isn't it, should I rotate more?" Vieri suggested.

"Like, give up the Coppa Italia?"

For more than a week in a row, Parma did not have enough players, and every time they attacked with all their main forces, even a cow had to be exhausted. Even the young Kuvas couldn't bear it.

If you are in poor physical condition, you are more likely to be injured during training or competition.

"Seriously?"

"I twisted my left ankle and this season is ruined." Vieri's words were direct enough and did not beat around the bush.

This kind of ankle injury is unlikely to get better for a while, and if it is not fully healed, forcing it to play will make the injury even more serious.

"Ugh." Crespo sighed.

"It's not that I don't want to rotate, it's that I'm afraid of losing and giving up the Coppa Italia, the boss will definitely not agree, he definitely wants to get something this season."

"Rotate a fart, now everyone is hurt."

Vieri was silent for a while, then spoke again: "But now this situation, I am afraid that it will get worse and worse."

"We can only reduce training appropriately and focus on recovery, we are just that, and we can't get injured anymore. Without Kovas, the impact on us is not much, as long as it is not Wang Dalong, Lincoln, Ampadu and Bonucci, it is okay to say. ”

"Well, the backbone of the main heart can't be broken." Vieri nodded in agreement.

"But the main team is very tired, and you can see in the training that everyone seems to have no desire and lacks any shortcomings mentally."

"Again, reduce training appropriately, but don't be too loose again, otherwise it will be worse if you don't have a game. Arrange some light training sessions for them, and we also organise a group meal for everyone to relax and unwind, just before the Lazio game. ”

"But we can't overdo it."

"Also, I want you to come up to the stage and say a few words."

"What? Why should I speak on stage? What's the point? "Vieri couldn't figure out what Crespo was going to play.

"You can talk about something painful, about the nightmare of losing the league title in '02."

“!!!”

"You're looking for death, let me remember such a painful thing. Why don't you go on stage and say something about yourself? Ali glared at Crespo and retorted.

"I don't have any pain to remember."

"At least not personally."

"Really? Wasn't the group stage of the 2002 World Cup painful? ”

Crespo was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"It's not that painful."

"Fake, what are you kidding, you didn't show up in the group stage, even Barty cried."

"That's Barty, it's not me, I don't feel so strong, after all, it's his last World Cup, and the elimination of the group will definitely be broken, I'm different, I'm a little happy, because I can finally become a positive Indian center forward." Crespo laughed, and smiled a little wickedly.

"No matter how you look at it, it's all because you lost the league title in 2002 and it's more painful."

"So,"

"It's better for you to come to the stage and give a speech, I believe in me, your experience can stimulate everyone to be full of strength. You just have to think about how to stimulate and move everyone. ”

※※※※

"Ahem, hello everyone."

"Tonight is a beautiful day."

"It's just that there's a lack of some beauties, and some beer."

As soon as Vieri spoke, he had a great sense of humor and immediately amused everyone.

"Is Christian kidding us? What did he want to say? Everyone laughed, and then continued to listen to him.

"Ahem," Vieri coughed twice, "beauty, beer, don't you want it?" Geddes, do you want it? ”

"I want to." Guedes generously admitted, who likes it, but both are natural enemies.

"Well, you're right, Kuvas, don't be too pessimistic, you can at least watch the game with beautiful women in the stands now, this is actually a change of direction welfare, the injury is not terrible, as long as you don't depress your will."

Vieri said a bunch of things, just didn't say anything sad, said about his 2002 nightmare.

"Do you want it, King?" His gaze shifted to Wang Dalong again.

"I already have it."

"Well, yes, you have, you're smiling, like a girl on the street who gets a job, and you feel really happy when you count the tickets. Ha, me too, I'm happy now, at least for the time being, away from the damn football field. ”

"Yesterday, Crespo told me to share something unhappy with everyone on stage. Would you like to hear it? ”

"Is it Beauty and Beer?" Lincoln shouted.

Vieri shook his head, "No. ”

"Beauty and beer can be there all the time, but it can't be something to be unhappy about."

"Crespo asked me to talk about the league in 2002."

"Inter Milan were ahead of Juventus in the last few rounds of the league and we thought we regretted winning the league until the last round against Lazio, and we were convinced that it was so. We were waiting with the fans for the game to finish and then celebrate the league title, the fans waited for more than a decade, and the last time we won the league was in the time of Mateus. ”

"But we were killed by the damn Lazio! It was a nightmare that I still can't let go, and my good friend Ronaldo was crying from the bench at the time. ”

"You don't feel the pain of the time. Do you want to try it? ”

"I don't want to."

"I don't want to."

Wang Dalong shook his head involuntarily off the field, they didn't want to experience such pain.

"Well, you don't want to. That's right. ”

"But my nightmare of that year wasn't over yet. Because there's also the World Cup. ”

World cup? Wang Dalong instantly thought of what was going on.

That year, Italy did not qualify in the group stage.

"That year, we were in a group with the Koreans, and we were overshadowed by the damn Koreans and were eliminated directly from the World Cup! Losing the league title makes me want to die, being killed by the Koreans in the World Cup, I really want to kill someone! ”

Vieri's eyes widened, as if he was genuinely angry.

After so many years, it seems that he is still nostalgic about the World Cup trip that year, and when it comes to the South Korean team, his face is still full of murder.

Unfortunately, he is too old to represent Italy, so he can't take revenge.

The silence was terrible, because everyone knew what Vieri had said.

It's just that you know what you know, but when it comes out of the mouth of the person in question, Vieri, it feels completely different.

"So, if we don't want to go through this."

"Then we have to know exactly what we're going to do in the next games."

"Unless you're just with beauty and beer in your head. A few years later, you will still hold a beautiful woman, and then think back to how sorry you were to miss those damn honors, those honors, and those honors did not belong to you! ”

Empathy! The same is true for Wang Dalong, although he does not have Vieri's experience, but he has had it with the Chinese team countless times.

Every time, watching the Chinese team lose in international competitions, concede goals in various qualifiers, lose victories, and lose hope, he feels that his whole body is full of depression and anger that has nowhere to vent!

"Fack!"

"Come, cheers to our future victories."

Vieri raised his water glass......

Bang bang bang!

The applause lasted for a long time, and everyone applauded Vieri's wonderful speech.

It's a true story, and a speech like this motivates the players more than any other way.

Crespo was naturally pleased with Vieri's speech.

He walked over to Crespo and whispered to his ear.

"Christian, you know what?"

"Huh?" Vieri talked a little too much, drank a glass of water, and after putting the glass down, he looked at Crespo in a little surprise, and said to himself, "Is this guy still whispering?"

"I really felt about the 2002 World Cup."

"Uh-huh."

"I sat on the bench, watched the team be eliminated, watched Big Brother Barty shed tears, my heart hurt more than anyone else, I swore at the time, in the next World Cup, I must lead Argentina to revenge, I will lead Argentina to the final."

"Oh," Vieri smiled, finally balancing his mind, "but you still let Argentina down, and you didn't do much in the 2006 World Cup." ”

"At least, I didn't lose so badly, and I didn't have this kind of grievance."

"Yes, it's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to play for the national team in 2006. Hey, let's not talk about this, I'm old, and I don't want to remember these unhappy things. However, Italy will not be able to go to the World Cup this year, alas......"

"Haha, fortunately, Argentina qualified."

"It's no fun, just wait, Argentina will still cry."

"Roll ......"

Before they knew it, they re-energized the whole team.

The next day, when Lazio announced their squad for the match, Crespo looked quite surprised.

"Yo, Lazio actually gave up the Coppa Italia!"

Coming on as a substitute means Lazio are focused on the league and the Europa League.

But isn't that difficult?

Think about it, Lazio wants to go to the Champions League, they must ensure that the league can bite other opponents, and the Europa League must also cross Atletico Madrid.

But can Lazio finish off Atletico Madrid?

Crespo was not convinced.

Perhaps, Lazio will make a mistake in strategy.

He didn't pull his previous decision just because Lazio was on the bench.

It just so happens that Parma may be able to take Lazio without blood.

'It's good for us to start with a positive start and try to score goals to take the lead.

In the locker room, he decided to take the initiative and not play any tug-of-war with Lazio.

If you can score early, the rest of the game will be easy to play.

He is confident that Parma will be on the road to the final victory!
