"Parma's attacking ability has never been weak. But now, what really surprised us was not their attacking power, not their defensive ability, but the speed with which they switched attack and defence. It's not like the Parma we remember, their current attack speed is ridiculously fast. ”

Li Bin has long decided that this season, he should appropriately add some rapid counterattacks to help Parma save physical strength and improve efficiency at the same time. When he arranged for Arshavin and Yaya Toure to change positions more, and arranged Yaya Toure to play more balls and increase the sweeping range, it was equivalent to freeing Mota, and his defensive tasks were lightened, so he could naturally play the ball and pass the ball faster. Parma's players are not slow in the first place, and with a center where they can play the ball quickly, they can naturally launch a fast attack.

This tactic may not be able to deal with strong teams, but it is definitely easy to deal with weak teams. As a Barcelona academy player, Motta's passing ability is also quite good, at least, it is enough to be a core that can quickly switch between attack and defense.

Parma don't have enough thickness now, so he needs to use sharp counter-attacks to achieve the team's small attrition victory. As a counterattack tactic, he chose a quick steal in the midfield and a quick counterattack. The Parma players are now very strong, and under Li Bin's arrangement, the tactical rotation ability has increased greatly, and they can rely on a short period of quick cooperation to complete the attack in the frontcourt.

Positional warfare is used against the strong, and it is always used against the weak to kick positional warfare, which is a waste of physical strength. Fighting bosses has a way of fighting bosses, and Qingye monsters are another way of playing. CSKA, as a visitor, obviously can't afford to be the boss, so Li Bin has to maximize the gap between the two teams, and then clear them easily.

CSKA fell behind when they came up, which also made them even more weak, although their formation surgery shrank a lot, but they also did not have the strength to fight against Parma. Soon, at the 34-minute mark, they made another mistake. In the midfield position again, because of Yaya Toure's pressure, they had to make a wide range of cross-pass transfers, but this instep Motta stopped, he received the pass behind the halfway, ran across the halfway line with the ball, and immediately split the side. Barzaretti rushed forward quickly, received the pass, and faced the opponent's backline, who had already returned quickly, he did not dribble the ball down, but gave the ball to Arshavin in the middle. Arshavin received the ball, behind him, at the edge of the penalty area, five CSKA players had already gathered, Milito was blocked to death, and Arshavin had no way to create chances.

He got the ball, took a step backwards to get out of a dangerous position where he would be trapped, and then immediately turned around, took two steps sideways, and moved to the right. Cavani cut in in front of him, but was immediately stopped by CSKA players. But instead of giving him the ball, Arshavin kicked it behind him – and Zabaleta had already rushed to the ribs of the box with his cover. After receiving the ball, he immediately kicked it straight and kicked the ball to Cavani in the penalty area, Cavani's side, the two defenders had already completed the defense, but Cavani stood near the small penalty area, protected the ball with his back, and immediately kicked the ball out.

Behind him, Arshavin shot from a distance and blasted the ball out!

"Wonderful combination of Parma! Pretty smooth fit! If anyone says that their cooperation is not sharp and not good enough, they should really take a good look at this cooperation! ”

At the end of last season, Parma was also damaged by Rossi's injury. But now, Parma has made up for it. Relying on better insertion on the wings, more forward insertions and faster attacking speed at full-backs, the lack of skill was supplemented, and Parma tore through CSKA's already tight defence with little effort to score a goal.

Counterattack is not all, no matter how good the counterattack is, it is possible to encounter a stubborn defense and not be able to play. Li Bin also did not ignore the problem of how the team quickly transformed into a multi-player battle in the front court after the counterattack failed, relying on the number of people to gain an advantage, which also made their attack successful.

And that's not all. Around the 70th minute of the second half, Parma launched a third attack.

This time, it was a quick counterattack.

Barzaretti, who got the ball at the back, rushed up quickly with the ball. Beside him, two CSKA players stared at him, neither giving him a chance to break through the middle nor giving him any chance to cross and kick. However, the Parma players received well and this time Cavani rushed to the edge of the box on the left flank, and Barzaretti saw him and kicked the ball out.

His intention was to get Cavani to attack from the ribs after receiving the ball, but his pass angle was a little bad, and when Cavani received the ball, it was still on the edge of the box, but it was less than six meters away from the baseline. And when he got the ball, a CSKA centre-back was already blocking him, and when Cavani tried to turn and cut inside, he was immediately blocked.

Cavani couldn't cut inside and took the ball away from the flank, where the centre-backs behind him and the full-backs who had been defending Barzaretti immediately surrounded him. However, Cavani easily kicked the ball to Barzaretti, who continued to cut forward. After receiving the ball, Barzaretti ran two steps sideways and crossed the ball to Arshavin on the edge of the penalty area, and after receiving the ball, Arshavin hit a straight ball towards the left front.

Cavani had already stepped in on the left flank, and Barzaretti rushed forward and the three formed a beautiful triangle of rotation, he shook off the entire backline and formed a one-on-one in the six-yard box, he shook it and kicked the ball into the far corner.

Akinfeev fell to the ground with a quick fall and saved the ball with his right hand. However, in front of him, Milito had been running for a long time, and he kicked the ball towards the goal, this time, no one could stop him, the football was caught, and Milito finally scored his first goal of the season!

'Parma don't seem to be affected by fatigue and hard work at all, they are playing now and stronger than they were last season. CSKA is not a weak brigade anymore, but in front of them, it was still slaughtered mercilessly. ”

Do more rotation, make more changes - Parma who rotated in the front court now has no fixed formation at all, and the Parma players are more willing to run than Milan, their mobility is greater, and now Parma, after a period of polishing, will definitely surpass Milan last season, and against an opponent like CSKA, it is easy to slaughter.

A 3-0 victory, Parma opened up a good situation for themselves in the Champions League. In the other game, Chelsea also won at home to Shakhtar, but a 1-0 score was a little too small to compare to Parma's big win.

On the group scoreboard, Parma started the journey as group winners.

After the first game of the Champions League, Parma's form began to gradually recover. And next, Parma beat Cagliari on their home turf. It's not a strong team either, Parma had a good warm-up feeling on them, Milito scored his first goal in the league, Yaya Toure scored from distance, substitute Crespo scored a goal, and after the game was the worst, Cannavaro Jr. also relied on a header to add icing on the cake for the team, although Cannavaro Jr. also made a mistake and moved too much in the penalty area to give the opponent a penalty, but Parma still won 4-1.

This season, they started with three wins in a row. Although the first two games were 1-0, and the third game finally scored more goals, but conceded another goal, compared to last season, it has been absolutely slow and declining, but such results still helped them sit firmly in the first position in the league.

This also makes people wonder whether Parma really want to play in the Champions League with all their strength this season, or whether they are ready to fight on two fronts.

"I'm going to play in the Champions League, but even if I don't play well in the league, I won't lose to a team like Cagliari, right? Even if I lose, I have to be stronger, right? ”

In an interview with the media, Li Bin expressed his attitude. This made the media very dissatisfied, why does it sound like you can play casually and level Serie A? However, Li Bin has the results of last season, and people can't say anything, and in the uproar of public opinion, they also ushered in the biggest devil's schedule this season.

In the fourth round, Milan was played by Shakhtar, and back in the league it was Udinese, Torino and then Roma, and after playing them, it was Chelsea......

It was arguably Parma's toughest stretch of the game.

It was in this fourth round that Parma failed to win for the first time. This time, their opponents are AC Milan. Parma, who were playing away, finally played a draw for the first time.

Milan had the advantage of playing at home, and they had plenty of energy at the beginning of the season, plus when it came to the game, they were also fully defensive, and in this game, Parma faced the game that needed to leave for Ukraine immediately, and they did not play very hard, so Milan held on to their home stadium and the two sides ended the game with a 0-0 draw.

Parma certainly accepted the result: even if they didn't win, they would still be top of the league, only to be caught up by Inter Milan on the same points. Milan, for their part, did not complain about anything: for them, a draw with Parma in the league was already good.

And after this game, the Parma players have also boarded the plane and set off for Ukraine.

At the same time, Chelsea's players need to go to Russia. Russia had a longer distance and a more different climate, so it was obviously much more difficult for them to win, and Mourinho had complained before the game about the trouble of going to Moscow.

"Fortunately, we went to Moscow for the fifth game, and by then, we might have already qualified in advance, so we can go all out for a draw." On the plane, Allegri also supported Mourinho's words, "The climate in Russia is indeed a ghost weather. ”

"So what? No matter how bad the weather is in Russia, we have to adapt to it, and we have to win that game. It's not necessarily an opportunity for us, but it's good to get used to it early – don't forget, this year's Champions League final was played in Moscow! ”
