Regardless of what the media says, Parma relied on three 1-0 wins to get three straight wins before the winter break. Relying on this wave of three consecutive wins, they are temporarily ranked first in the league after half a season with an unbeaten record of 15 wins, 3 draws and 48 points.

The only thing that annoys people after all is that Inter Milan, who is behind them, is also undefeated in the first half of the game. These two teams have played some La Liga double-hero style, running crazy all the way in front, and the other teams, just after the halfway point, were thrown away and invisible. They are followed by Roma and Inter Milan, who are also seven points apart, not to mention other teams, such as Milan, who are already in the middle of the table after the halfway point.

The unbeaten race for half a season can be said to be full of tension, and the race is so tense that the arrival of Parma's winter break has become an opportunity for the whole team to take a breather.

Of course, the players can rest, but neither the media nor the coaching staff can rest there.

At this time, the media is also doing some things that they have to do every year, for example, to summarize the halfway point, who played the best and who played poorly. Summarizing the best transfers, the best signings, the best performances, etc., at the same time, they will also summarize some annoying things, such as the very Serie A characteristics, the unmisjudged standings - that is, the media summarizes how the points are if there are no miscalculations.

This standings is also a strange thing - this kind of thing, isn't it to make more misjudgments? However, the Italians still liked it, and, as Li Bin expected, Parma was deducted six points in this standings, which is not as high as Inter Milan's score.

"It's a day when they don't give us trouble, and they feel uncomfortable...... Ignore them, it's important that we make our own summary. ”

In the Parma team, Li Bin's attitude is still the same, no matter how wind and rain you blow, I will not move like a mountain.

And this half season is relatively easy to sum up...... Parma have topped the table and have been leading the table all along, and their summary is more akin to the players' commendation meeting.

'We've played pretty well this half season. It's not just us, our whole team, including the loan players, they're playing really well. Our future is worth our efforts and expectations. ”

Halfway through the season, Parma's half-run summary was also carried out in the offices of Li Bin and Esposito.

"The biggest takeaway from our players in this half season is that Rossi is in the Ballon d'Or squad - the World Cup against Germany, which gave him a lot of extra points. Although the bottom 10 players were not able to make the list, this is also the first of our players to make the Ballon d'Or squad. It's a pity that Milito's form came a little late, and Toure is black, otherwise they could have been in the squad. ”

Because it is the year of the World Cup, the Golden Globe Award will refer to the World Cup performance, and Rossi relied on his outstanding performance against the German team in the World Cup, so that he successfully entered the Golden Ball Award squad. Although his performance in Parma was not particularly outstanding in the following half season, he was decent, so he still made it to the 25-man Ballon d'Or squad, becoming the only person in Parma's team to be shortlisted for the Ballon d'Or.

"The credibility of the Golden Globe is getting worse and worse." Li Bin muttered.

"There's no way around it, if you always want to take care of everyone's ideas, there will naturally be problems." "Moreover, racial discrimination and regional prejudice are also inevitable things in football." ”

Li Bin just shook his head at this and didn't say anything more.

However, thanks to regional prejudice, Rossi was considered a superstar as soon as he debuted, and the Golden Boy Award was in hand, and the Golden Globe Award entered the squad, which made him shine. We had Arshavin at the core, Milito and Toure at the top of the team, but now it's as if our core is Rossi. ”

Rossi is Italian, and his teenage fame has made him now advantageous in Parma, and the match with Arsenal has been hyped up into a duel between him and Cesc Fabregas, which has made him even more famous. Compared to him, Milito is not a teenager, Toure is black, Arshavin is from Russia, and the players from these countries are not very popular, which makes Parma's players smile wryly.

"None of our players other than Rossi have received any particularly decent accolades. There are some things like a list of players that are even worth noting, but those are all comments from small media outlets, and they are not interesting. It's Milito who won the halfway Golden Boot, which is a good honor, otherwise in the second half of the season, give him the right to take the penalty and let him take the penalty? ”

Esposito made a suggestion, but Li Bin shook his head and rejected his idea. The Golden Boot award in this season's memory was Totti's, but now Roma has changed a lot in his memory, Totti didn't even play much as a striker, and naturally it was impossible to get the Golden Boot, while Milito played very well and scored a lot of goals, but it is very likely to win this award. There have never been many Golden Boot goals in Serie A, and if the tactics were tilted in his favor, he would naturally be able to get the Golden Boot. However, Li Bin still feels that there is no need to use the method of giving penalties and feeding the golden boot to nurture the players' perverted pursuit of honor. The most important thing for the players is the collective honour, which cannot be reversed.

Esposito didn't argue anymore, the current penalty is Rossi's, Rossi is a player he has cultivated himself, and of course he has no problem with taking a penalty.

"For the rest, there are no personal accolades - if not yours your Golden Prize...... In the half-way best team, we entered the three, Yaya, Ag, and Milito. Inter Milan were the big winners, with César, Samuel, McConn and Ibrahimovic selected. There are also four positions, which are Zivo and Totti in Roma, and Kaka and Pirlo in Milan. ”

This lineup is quite fair, Li Bin nodded, and didn't comment much. It is normal for Rossi to be selected on the forward line, and Ibrahimovic is also the best striker in Serie A. With Totti and Kaka in midfield, there is no problem for Arshavin not to squeeze in. The rest of Agger was able to make the best team, which was already a surprise to him, and he didn't ask for more.

"On top of that, some of our loan players have played really well. Hamsik won the honor of the best player in the second half of Serie B, because his loan contract did not write a buyout, so Napoli has been begging us to buy Hamsik, and they even offered to open it for less than 10 million - according to me, it is still a very good price, this player can't be sold to others for so much money, and the player himself is also interested in a permanent transfer, and in addition, our two French youngsters, Lamy and Koscielny, have teams asking for prices. Rami was favored by Juventus, and Deschamps wanted to buy Squeiraci but didn't buy it, so the offer for Lamy came. Koscielny, on the other hand, was asked by Arsenal for the price, but Arsene Wenger has never been too wealthy, and I didn't rush to reply to him. ”

There aren't many people on loan at the moment, but the quality is not low. Hamsik was on loan at Napoli, and after half a season, he was considered to be one of the best Serie B teams, and his performance attracted the attention of many people, and Napoli, as his loan team, was very willing to take him down, and even said that he could become a monk in about 10 million. Such a price is rare in Serie B teams, and their price shows how optimistic they are about Hamsik.

In addition to Hamsik, Parma's other players have also been concerned. Arsene Wenger took a fancy to Koscielny, and Li Bin didn't find it too strange. Arsene Wenger has always had a special penchant for fast defenders, starting with Big Toure, and Koscielny is still French, so he would certainly be happy to buy him. It's just that Li Bin thinks that Koscielny's skills are not passable, and he is very useful as a rotation this season, so he has no idea of selling him.

Rami is a player, it doesn't matter if he sells it or not. He is a good defender, playing as a drag defender, and in my memory, he became famous in La Liga, when both La Liga giants had the intention of buying him. But judging from the scouting report, because of the late start of his career, he was born as an amateur player, his professional attitude is not very good, and there are big problems with training, which makes Li Bin also understand a little that he did not buy him in the end. Now, it is Juventus who wants to buy him, which also makes Li Bin a little unsure whether he should let go or not: he knows that at the end of this season, Deschamps will leave. As a Frenchman, Deschamps favors French players, and the policy he proposed to revitalize Juventus is also to package Ribery and Nasri in Marseille to revive Juventus, an idea that has made many of Juventus' nativists unhappy. Moreover, a team like Juventus has not used a foreign coach for 50 years, and it is impossible to keep a foreign head coach for too long. Even if you don't like him, there is no need to pit his life.

"If Juventus really want it, let's talk about it at the end of the season." Li Bin thought for a while, "Promise, if they still have this intention at the end of the season, we will sell people." ”

"And what about Hamsik?"

"This is not for sale, I will take it back next season and use it myself." Li Bin shook his head, "On the Naples side, I can only express regret." ”

Although it is important to maintain a relationship with Napoli, Li Bin does not think that in order to maintain the relationship, he has to sell his players. Hamsik's player Li Bin is still quite optimistic, and Parma's finances have not been tight recently, so he has no idea of selling him for money.

"So, what kind of reinforcement plan is we planning for this winter break?" Esposito asked, in fact, after hearing Li Bin's words, he already had a general idea, but he still needed Li Bin's affirmation, "I don't think we need to buy anyone, the current lineup is quite good, what do you think?" ”

"The idea is similar, but, I think, this winter break, I may not be able to buy anyone, but I have to do something else, let others buy something - Inter Milan is a golden award, a rumor, a poaching, and a courtesy, that's what I'm going to do."
