Li Bin's rare public statement said that Serie A is no longer competitive and no longer has the value of being conquered, which made the whole of Italy in an uproar. The Italians themselves have not said this in the past two years, they also believe that after the old generation of stars are old, the strength of the new generation of Italy is not good, and the seven sisters of Serie A in the 90s are also well-known teams in the European arena, but now, not to mention the seven sisters, it is the top three in the north, and there is only one Milan who can play the Champions League worthy of points, saying that Serie A is declining, which is an indisputable thing.

However, Li Bin, as a foreigner, and a foreigner who has already won the Serie A championship, made the Italian media very unhappy when he said this. If he hadn't won the Serie A championship, they could have said that Li Bin was jealous, and he couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour, but Li Bin won the championship, and he said it again, which made Serie A's face a little unbearable: they didn't want to admit it like that, Li Bin was telling the truth.

"Li Bin is just making excuses for his possible poor results next season. He himself knows that a high score of 100 points, undefeated to win the championship, is a miracle that is difficult to replicate, this season Roma, Fiorentina, Milan, Inter Milan have strengthened, Juventus has also been resurrected, six of the seven sisters are already very competitive, he is afraid of failure, so he said so. ”

The media quickly gave a reason for Li Bin to say this, but seeing Li Bin's 100-point score in the league last season, it was difficult for him to win the championship again in the league, which made people feel that this was a little unconvincing.

What made the media even more uncomfortable was that not long after the media finished talking about Parma's declining strength, Parma won the Italian Super Cup again.

August 5 is the day of the Italian Super Cup, and as last season's Serie A champions, and last season's Coppa Italia winners, Parma and Roma will be the two sides in this match. And Parma was eliminated by Roma in the cup last season, and the meeting of the two teams was originally thought to be a rather exciting battle, but no one expected that the game was not as good as they imagined, Parma used a clean 3-0 to kill Roma.

Roma lost to Parma in the Italian Super Cup, this is not an unusual thing, Parma did not lose a game last season, in the Champions League, also reached the semi-finals, such a level of team, in Italy's view, this season at least at the beginning of the season, should also maintain the original state, they are still very strong, of course it is not a problem to win. However, even if Parma won in the past, they did not have the ability to win so easily: Roma is also a strong team, especially in the first half of the season, they are strong players who are not afraid of any team and can let go of the attack, the only two defeats of Inter Milan last season were given to them by these two teams, and Parma lost a total of two games in all competitions, that is, Milan and Roma beat them. And this season, this is still the beginning of the season, their team, when they have enough physical strength, that is, when they are the strongest, the season has not yet started, most of their players do not have the task of the Copa America, they are better than Parma physically, and because they played in the Champions League play-offs, they have to enter the state earlier, and they play better, it is not surprising that they have won, why did they lose a 0-3 instead?

This competition has also become the focus of attention of many researchers. Two teams in Milan, Torino and others, have studied the game.

And the coaches of each team also quickly made a judgment.

"Parma's strength is really stronger." After watching Parma's style of play, Ancelotti also let out an exclamation.

"How so?" Tasotti beside him was a little unconvinced.

It's not that Tasotti can't see Parma's strength, it's just that he doesn't like Parma's approach very much. As a veteran defender of the Milan dynasty, he has always been proud of the Milan dynasty's unbeaten championship, and Parma, after equalling their results, immediately said that Serie A was boring, which has always made him angry.

"Look, looking at Li Bin's tactical arrangement, you know that this guy's idea can't get in."

In this game, Parma chose to let Frei keep the goal, Grosso, Ager, Cannavaro Jr. and Zabaleta formed the backline, the midfield was the same as before, and the forward line, Milito and Cavani were partners as partners. This can be said to be a very standard Parma 4312, however, in terms of specific tactics, people quickly see the difference.

At the beginning of the game, Parma launched a fierce attack, as the starting striker, Cavani, as the starting striker, quickly cruising in the middle position, when the ball passed to the feet of Pizarro, Cavani immediately rushed to grab the ball.

Pressing the midfield, breaking the connection, and strangling Roma's attack at the first time - this is Parma's biggest experience against Roma.

However, Pizarro did not panic because of this, and he ran away a little, but not quickly, but instead lured Cavani to grab it. Cavani immediately chased after him, while Pisaroma turned his head and kicked the ball at Juan behind him.

Juan received the ball, took a step forward, and kicked it out. In front of him, De Rossi received the ball and immediately passed it out.

Li Bin thought that Juan would be of great help to Roma before the season, but he didn't expect such an immediate effect, and Roma really made a tactical change: Li Bin habitually let the team attack quickly as soon as he came up, pressing Pizarro on the opponent's waist, so as to forcibly blow Roma out of touch, this time it was unsuccessful. Juan took a step forward and got the ball, and when Parma pressed it, De Rossi gave the ball directly to Juan, and they had an extra point of contact in midfield.

This arrangement is really ingenious: Juan's ability is not bad, and the unique skills of the Brazilian players allow him to control the ball in the midfield position, and after getting the ball, he can help Roma insert, which makes Roma's attack even better.

They were embarrassed by Parma's opening fifteen-minute style of play last season, and it is clear that this season they will not be willing to suffer this loss.

This is what Li Bin didn't expect, the first step to suppress the opponent lost the opportunity, and he could only let Parma retreat.

"See, Parma didn't choose to play against Roma, but chose to recover immediately after not scoring in the opening goal. This is not like Parma's usual style. Carlo Ancelotti said, pointing to the video of the game.

"What can it say? Maybe their players are too tired to play well? ”

His words made Ancelotti a little helpless, and he motioned for Tasotti to look at it again.

Obviously, Li Bin wants to see if his team, with the shrinkage of defense, can hold off the opponent's onslaught. There are few teams in Serie A that can storm now, I don't know what Inter Milan will be trained into, anyway, Milan will not storm since Shepchenko left, so it is best to use Rome's furious attack to test their defense.

Therefore, in the following period, Parma did not choose to attack again, and most of their forces were concentrated near the midfield.

"Now, you can see how they've changed, right?" Ancelotti asked.

'They now have two fewer full-backs, the full-backs are less forward and more of them are moving around midfield and are involved defensively...... The zigzag defense and the inverted triangle midfield defense are really bold. ”

Tasotti is Serie A's premier defensive master, in terms of defensive tactics, he said that he is in the top three in the world, when he carefully observed Parma's defence, he immediately opened up, what Ancelotti said.

Parma's defensive four, now in a zigzag pattern, is an extremely rare type of defence.

Generally speaking, there are three main types of defensive formations in football: one is the parallel position of four defenders, the other is the concave position, the central defender retreats, and the wingback advances - these two are also in the football game, as two common ways to match - and in addition, there is also a triangular position where three people lag behind and one person advances.

But these kinds of positions, there are big problems, parallel standing side weak, defense does not dare to use sticky slow processing, and almost no help to the midfield, concave position to the player's sense of position requirements are high, but rely on midfield protection, not double back, so play is to seek their own death, and the triangle position, the depth of defense is poor, easy to be eaten raw by the midfield, and lack of help.

In the past, Parma used more of a concave defence, but now, Parma use a more surprisingly jagged position. Of course, Tasotti can see how difficult it is, and he can also see how bold it is to play like this - the defense line of the zigzag position, there are four basic tactical defensive changes alone, and then with an inverted triangle position of the back waist group, there are more changes, left, left, center, center, right, the way of attack is changeable, and it can even reach more than 20 kinds, it is impossible to judge that line will be the main direction of attack, and it is impossible to judge where this formation is the weak link in defense, This style of play, which can be adjusted and changed at any time, can really be said to be unpredictable and unpredictable, and with the execution of players who are very good, this is basically a formation that makes anyone scratch their head when they see it.

In the design of the defensive formation, so many attacking concepts are considered, and at the same time, they must have strong defensive power, this kind of setting ability, even Tasotti is a little secretly admired.

"So I said, this guy is stronger this season." Carlo Ancelotti said: "At the end of last season, he was only thinking about the changes in the midfield, and now he is starting to play with a big change at the back. Scary guys. ”

"Change is not necessarily a good thing, and if it is not good, it is possible to play yourself to death. Sawtooth positions aren't that easy to use, and they don't necessarily work well. ”

"So they contracted a lot, tightened their positions, and used tighter positions to shorten the distance they could run, so that the players could play better." Ancelotti immediately spoke, "This guy is not stupid at all, he knows that this needs to be done slowly." ”

"Indeed, if there is such a good defence, it will not be difficult to win."

Although Tasotti does not like Parma, he speaks very straightforwardly. As a defensive expert, seeing such a defensive line, he immediately spoke his opinion.

"It's not that I'm the most scary, it's that I'm most scary is that their front court has become stronger again."
