Section 228 Arsenal

On February 21, the match between Parma and Arsenal was played on time at Arsenal's home stadium, the Emirates Stadium.

This game has a lot of gimmicks for the media.

Cesc Fabregas and Rossi's competition for the Golden Boy Award is a gimmick that the media pays the most attention to, both of them are known as the Golden Boy, one is known as the No. 1 midfielder in the future world, and one is known as the Italian shadow striker who carries the banner, who is the better one? This is a matter of great concern.

The reunion of the Toure brothers is also a gimmick that people pay attention to, especially when Wenger said in an interview that he had a crush on Yaya Toure but did not sign it because of labor certification issues, which made the media pay great attention to what kind of play Toure will have in the game between Parma and Arsenal.

And there is another gimmick, which is the comparison between the two coaches Li Bin and Wenger. Although the tactical thinking of the two people is incompatible, however, the two people have a lot in common.

The tempers of the two of them are very mild, and they are not people who like to talk nonsense with big mouths, on the contrary, their tempers are recognized as more amiable and handsome people. And the second is their style of doing things, they all prefer to buy players at low prices, rely on Taobao to run the team, and their teams are also profitable in terms of recruitment. These two points are enough to make these two coaches very different, and there are not many such coaches in the entire football world.

Of course, there are some differences, Wenger buys almost all of them, the younger the potential, the better, while Li Bin is very enthusiastic to buy all kinds of free players, young, old, remote, sick, and do not refuse. These two people are very similar in terms of saving money for the team, but in terms of the concept of depth, they are very different. This has also made many people discuss which of these two teams is more likely to save money, and which one is more likely to save money.

Such a comparison made Li Bin a little helpless. Although it is a good thing to be compared to a famous coach, it does not have the ability to save money with Wenger...... It seems that the probability of winning is very small, and most importantly, it seems that there is nothing to be proud of than winning...... What is there to do with this attribute of slamming the door, for a coach who wants to go to a wealthy family in the future and wants a sugar daddy, this attribute is boring enough.

"Parma and Arsenal have a lot in common in terms of business philosophy, and both teams are rare players who have both results and money. This is extremely rare in any league. ”

However, the media still has a lot of praise for them. Although Li Bin thinks it's boring, many media still think that such an evaluation is not low.

Li Bin didn't bother to pay attention to these words. This is the first time he has led the team to the knockout round of the Champions League, and at this time, he is fully committed to preparing for the game.

Although Li Bin believes that Wenger has made a lot of mistakes at the big level, he still has to deal with it seriously when it comes to this game. This season's Arsenal still has some good performances. Although in the league, their results are hardly very good, especially now in February, which is the day of Arsenal's habitual collapse after Christmas - of course, it has not become a habit now, but it will be in the future - but if you look at their matches with the other three Premier League powerhouses, you can find that they have the best results in the Premier League semi-finals this season, so it can be said that this is one of their rare seasons against strong opponents is not bad, so they are also worthy of Li Bin's efforts.

On the whole, Arsenal in the 06-07 season played quite fluently, they have a very good lineup, the forward line, the combination of Henry and Van Persie is quite good, the midfield is Rossi, Fabregas, Gilberto Silva and Hleb, the midfield combination that is talked about by Arsenal fans, and the back line, there are four defenders, Klich, Gala, Toure and Eboue, and the goalkeeper is the veteran Lehmann.

First, their backline is still very good compared to the past, and now although they are not comparable to Campbell and Ashley Cole, they are not bad enough to make the whole of Europe laugh at the future, and secondly, their midfield quartet is quite smooth to work together, and they have been missed by Arsenal fans for a long time. And on their forward line, Henry and Van Persie's two generations of forwards are quite strong people, and they are not easy to deal with.

It's just that it's hard for Arsenal to give it all right now – their striker Robin van Persie is injured right now. In the first half of the season when Arsenal played Manchester United, Robin van Persie scored the winner before the end of the game, and the excitement was over, and the celebration was too big, and the result was so happy and sad that he was injured and bedridden...... He was said to have recovered recently, but Arsene Wenger stressed he would not let him play. However, the current Arsenal substitute also has Adebayo, and his strength is also outstanding.

How to deal with this team also made Li Bin think for a long time. Parma are good, but against Arsenal with such intensity, you still have to think about it.

Moreover, he also thought of some methods, but he didn't know if it would work when it came to the game. Whether or not the arsenal can be blown up is a matter of one move -

The first leg of the knockout round of the Champions League between Parma and Arsenal was played out on time at the Emirates Stadium.

"This is Sky and I'm Lineker. Of the Champions League knockout rounds in midweek, only Arsenal's match against Parma was played at the home of the Premier League side, so this is the same game that we are broadcasting for the fans. ”

The first leg of the Champions League was played at the home of the second-placed team in the group stage, and the other three Premier League teams were all group winners, so Arsenal's match at the Emirates Stadium was also the only game to be held in England, and this game was also broadcast on Sky TV.

It's just that this is what it is, but it sounds a bit ridiculous. Arsenal finished second in the group, which is not good news in any way. Lineker's words were quite a bit of a tease of Arsenal.

"In this match, Arsenal's opponent is Parma, last season's Serie A champions. Parma's team is the biggest dark horse team that came out of Serie A last season and this season, they are very strong, and they have made a lot of achievements in European competition, they won the League Cup last season, and they also won the League Cup last season...... Well, I know that people don't like to watch Channel 5's UEFA Cup games, so I don't advertise Channel 5 more. Closer to home, Parma are quite strong and a team to be taken seriously. Arsenal are slightly stronger than Parma and play at home, but they also need to prepare well for the game, and if Professor Wenger is not careful, they are likely to pay the price. ”

The camera shows the sidelines, where Coach Wenger is wearing a long down jacket and standing there talking to the players. On the other side of the coach's bench, Li Bin is wearing a gray suit, the two look very different, although the media has been emphasizing that both of them are handsome before the game, but in contrast, Li Bin's clothes have been more cared for, while Wenger's side is a bit of a local England.

"Coach Li Bin is a more interesting coach, this man is not a professional footballer, he studied economics in college - the same subject as Professor Wenger - and then he went into football, he got his own coaching qualifications, started as a scout, worked in the team for 10 years from scratch, and then became the coach of Parma when Parma went bankrupt and relegated. He had an excellent vision and quickly transformed Parma from a relegation team to one of the giants of Serie A after taking charge of the team. The Parma he created, the tactical system is quite the style of the Premier League, the team has a strong pressure and impact, and at the same time, they also have the Serie A tradition of attacking in the middle, and the continental style of fine coordination, when playing against Milan, Inter Milan and other Serie A giants, they have played quite a wonderful offensive football, Coach Li Bin is also considered to be a coach with an attacking heart, this game they played against Arsenal, both teams have a strong attacking tradition, this will also be a very interesting game. ”

In Italy, Li Bin's reputation is not very good. Because many people are too familiar with him, they have an understanding of buying low and selling high, pit their predecessors, and become conservative in important games. But outside of Italy, Lineker and others' impression of Li Bin is close to perfect. Coming back to the top with the team in times of crisisβ€”it's a legend.

"Among Parma's players, there are a lot of good players. Giuseppe Rossi, the most recent winner of the Golden Boy Award, is a traditional Italian shadow striker who has gone through Cassano's slump after Baggio and Piero and is now re-emerging. His strength is quite good, and he was once valued by Sir Alex Ferguson, but it is revealed that he was unable to make the trip because of the dissuasion of coach Li Bin, who was the head of youth training. His current performance in Serie A should be comparable to Rooney under Everton, and he is the best homegrown young player in the league. There are rumours that he will go to Inter Milan after this season. His partner is Diego Milito, a late-bloomer striker who has been in a consistent form of play so far this season. Among Parma's other players is Yaya Toure, the younger brother of Arsenal's Chlo Toure, who is the first time the brothers have appeared in front of each other as rivals on the pitch. In addition, it was revealed that their defender Ager was once valued by Liverpool's Benitez, but failed to close a deal because the offer was too low, and their goalkeeper Frei was also once eyed by Arsene Wenger. From these aspects, we can see that Parma's strength is still quite good, their players are probably at the level of the top four of the Premier League, and they also have a good coach, this game will be very exciting. Parma have been in good form in recent times, having recently beaten AC Milan in the league to continue their strong lead in the Serie A table, but will they be able to make a breakthrough in the Champions League? We'll see. ”

Before the game, Lineker commentators provided information about both sides of the game, while on the pitch, players from both sides were shaking hands with each other on the pitch and communicating before the game.

When Rossi walked past Fabregas, he clearly saw a hint of unconvinced arrogance in the other party's eyes. When Rosie shook hands with him, he saw his demeanor, although he didn't say much, but he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled quite arrogantly. Fabregas's face immediately turned a little ugly, but he still didn't say anything.

And when the Toure brothers shook hands, Chloe Toure didn't just shake hands with his brother, he pulled Yaya Toure over, and the two made a warm hug before they said hello.

Parma and Arsenal really have a lot of grievances. This made Li Bin, who was on the field, laugh when he saw it: Let me see which of these two teams will be the stronger one.
