Section 31 The Temptation of the Golden Boot

Thanks to Gilardino's hat-trick, Parma beat Besiktas 4-0 at home to secure a ticket to the knockout stages of the UEFA Cup.

Although it is a little embarrassing to qualify as the third in the group, it is still qualified. The draw for the knockout round of the League Cup does not look at the group results, so there is no adverse follow-up reaction when it comes to this point, and Li Bin can be regarded as relieved.

It's just that what makes him more helpless is that after the game, most of the media's space is aimed at Gilardino who has three goals, and Gilardino, who scored a hat trick, has become the biggest star.

"Gilardino broke out, and Parma won the game!"

People gave Gilardino the greatest credit. At the key point of being eliminated if you lose, you played a hat trick and led the team to the knockout round, such a performance is naturally worth mentioning. Moreover, Gilardino is still Italian, which makes it even more important to publicize it.

The appeal of local stars is indeed very large, and now Gilardino has been hyped up as a player with Adriano and Ibrahimovic, and even some media have impatiently given him the title of Italy's No. 1 striker, at this time, he played a hat trick, which is indeed enough to squeeze all the news down and grab the headlines.

What Li Bin originally wanted was to let Gilardino play well, then get media attention, and then sell for a good price, but now that the media has paid attention to him, it is naturally a good thing.

Therefore, when facing the interview, Li Bin also praised Gilardino for a while.

"Gilardino is the pillar of Parma, he is the best striker in Italy, the leader of Italy's future, such a striker is a valuable asset for Parma, with him we will definitely be able to get the best results!"

Facing the media, Li Bin swore and spoke. And although his words are not weighty, but he is the manager after all, he said that Gilardino is a core player, and he can still attract a lot of attention. And Li Bin knew that just a concern was not enough, and if he wanted Gilardino to really rise, he had to have something to do.

"I believe that this season, Alberto's goal will make him the top scorer."

In front of the media, Li Bin's words again made the media a little in an uproar.

Last season, Gilardino was already the Silver Boot, in fact, last season, his total number of goals was one less than Shepchenko, and he only had one penalty, Shepchenko had five, and his actual goal number was already the first in Serie A. Gilardino does have that quality, and he is believed to be one of the top scorer contenders.

However, this season, he did not play well. He has only scored seven league goals in 16 rounds, and it will be quite difficult to get the top scorer this season.

And if you want to do this, you naturally need a great tilt and support of tactics - people also remembered at this time, this game, if there is anything unexpected, Li Bin's change in tactics is also a one. Li Bin turned the defender into a back three, and let Mofeo retreat as a back midfielder, which is still quite creative and effective.

Of course, after the game, Li Bin's treatment was relatively poor. In addition to the local newspapers in Parma, which also paid a little attention to him, the newspapers in Milan, Turin, Rome and other big cities only divided a small section and wrote a sentence about him.

"Li Bin made a perfect debut, and the Asian coach successfully started his Serie A career."

Looking at the news section that was not much bigger than a sentence of news, Li Bin was also helpless for a while. When he took office, he met Parma fighting for Serie A honors, and the game ended and he was the top scorer of the Italian youth generation...... I didn't have the surname Wang in my last life, why are you so unlucky, I just can't make headlines?

And when Li Bin said that he would let Gilardino compete for the Golden Boot, the media also began to interview him. And the media asks a lot of questions about whether he wants to change Mofeo into a midfielder like Andrea Pirlo like Ancelotti, and whether his back three tactics are imitating the style of play during the Rome Capello period.

In the final analysis, the Italians still did not believe that Li Bin was capable of creating a new style of play, and they decided that Li Bin's tactics were only created by imitating the creativity of Italian coaches.

In this regard, Li Bin did not defend anything. He sent Mofeo back in imitation of Perrotta in his memory instead of Pirlo. He played in a back three, in terms of tactical details, is to imitate Manchester United's use of Vidic in 08, these things, he did learn, but that is also he learned the tactical concept, repeatedly think about the tactics in his memory, and then take the essence of the use, to say that he will only imitate is too much.

He knew what he was justifying, and others didn't bother to listen, it didn't mean much to quarrel, and if he had that time, it was better to focus on how to set up the tactics. Although this game was won, in the final analysis, this game is just a tactical framework of Li Bin, and there are many other deep-seated tactics, which have to be told to them gradually, and then the winter break is coming soon, and the winter break in Serie A is three weeks, and in three weeks, it is enough for them to conduct a preliminary tactical exercise, and they can also buy a handy player, so that the following game situation is estimated to be better.

Moreover, since he said that he would help Gilardino win the Golden Boot, then Li Bin is naturally ready to do what he says. I don't remember who Italy's Golden Boot was in 04-05 Li Bin doesn't remember very well, but he knows very well that it's not Gilardino, because Gilardino has never won the Golden Boot Award in his memory. However, he also knows that no one has reached 30 goals before Luca Toney, so now that Gilardino has scored seven goals and there are 22 rounds of the game to go, if he has enough tactical tilt, he may really be able to win the Golden Boot.

By that time...... When Li Bin looked at the words of the media, he was also secretly thinking in his heart - the winner of the Golden Boot Award, the future leader of Italy's striker, no matter how he said, he could cheat out 30 million euros from him - Milan and Juventus are staring at him, and now the media's estimate of him is more than 20 million, and Li Bin wants 30 million, which is not a lot. And with this money, no matter what it is used for, it can improve the situation of this team a lot.

Parma don't have much money to get in for, and compared to other players, Gilardino is naturally the most expensive and high-profile mobile gold mountain. His cultivation can be exchanged for real money. 30 million, which is almost equivalent to the current Champions League runner-up in a year's prize money - whenever I think of this, and then look at Milan's soaring progress in the Champions League, Li Bin has a rather comfortable feeling: What about a bunch of superstars? The money earned from the hard work will go to Parma in the end. But when he thought about it, he felt a little unkind - Milan would already be very depressed if they lost the Champions League this year, and they had to cheat out all their bonuses...... I'm really not very kind.

Li Bin will have such an idea of only recognizing money, naturally because when the winter break is coming, the transfer period is also coming soon. And when it came time to transfer, Li Bin found out how stretched his money was.

The League Cup group qualification bonus is 480,000, and the winning bonus is 120,000 - this 600,000 is all the winter transfer funds in his hands. The team is in trusteeship, and there is indeed no board of directors to manage it, but the team has no money to spend. If you want money, you can earn it yourself, which is the situation Li Bin is facing now.

It's embarrassing. With only 600,000 euros, it is not enough to buy someone in the Italian second division. Li Bin is very aware of the market of the five major leagues, and wants to buy players with actual combat ability and available players in the first and second divisions, and a few have to be around one million. The problem now is that if he wants to buy someone, he has to sell it first.

This made Li Bin a little unhappy, after all, no one would be very happy if he was forced to sell someone.

Therefore, Li Bin also wants to carefully calculate who he should buy, how much money he needs, and who he should sell for this money - and the process of calculating this account is indeed very embarrassing.

Parma have to bring in a midfielder – that's Li Bin's first concern. Whether it is Guerrera, Simplicio, or the retreating Mofeo, they are not the midfielders who can satisfy Li Bin. One game can sustain the past, but in the next game, he needs to buy a new midfielder to better realize his tactical vision.

At the same time, he also needs to buy a right-back. The width of the unilateral opening is not the same as the width of the two sides, under the three-back system, the support in the middle is relatively small, and when encountering a strong enemy, it is still necessary to have the ability to insert forward on the side. And now Pottenza, obviously not, Li Bin has to find a real right-back who can run ability.

And if you want to play two strikers, then two strikers are definitely not enough. Especially when Giuseppe Rossi is still young, it is better for him to find a reliable substitute player for the forward line to be able to enrich the forward line.

Three main forces, one substitute, this is the person to buy, and considering that if you want to buy someone, you have to sell someone, maybe, you have to buy a substitute again. Looking at the money in his hand, Li Bin could only smile bitterly, racking his brains to think about how to spend the money.

It's certainly not going to be too cold this winter, and with so many transfers, it's sure to be able to liven up Parma.

And to say that the person who can sell...... Mofeo is on loan, Marchioni is injured, and Simplicio has just been in the market for half a season, so it is impossible to sell. Speaking of which, the person who can be sold, that is, Bresciano or Guerrera.

Li Bin believes that Serie A is not very suitable for wide play, so Bresciano will not be too suitable for his tactical needs. And Guerrera's technical ability does not meet Li Bin's requirements, and these two people were also the first to be blacklisted. However, after all, Bresciano can still be used for tactical changes, and Li Bin still has doubts about whether he should be sold, so selling Guerrera and paying for a new person is the best way for Li Bin now.

After thinking about this, Li Bin also immediately called Martins - as an agent, he will definitely be able to discuss the value of the player with him.

"You called just in time." Martins was also a little impatient on the other end of the phone, "I was looking for you, there are some things that we really need to talk about." ”
