Throughout the summer, Parma's squad has not changed much, so if there is anything, it is the assistant coach named Allegri who is most worried about Esposito.

As Parma's assistant coach, he should also help Li Bin complete the tactical arrangement. However, in several contacts, Esposito was not very satisfied with Allegri's tactical level. Of course, he admits that this person seems to have more ideas and decisions than himself, but just by virtue of this, can he be a good coach? Esposito still felt a little hanging.

"Lorenzo, trust me, it's the best I can do. How many coaches are there in Italy? Roberto Mancini, Carlo Ancelotti, Spalletti and Prandelli can't be my assistant coaches, but apart from them, Allegri is pretty good. ”

Obviously, Li Bin and Esposito have different opinions, and since he recognized this guy, Esposito didn't have much to say.

After Parma returned to Italy, there were no new friendlies: the players were tired, and Li Bin was afraid of causing trouble. Anyway, there was a match against Roma in the Italian Super Cup at the beginning of August, and that game didn't mean much, just as a friendly match.

Therefore, in the remaining half a month, Li Bin's main thing to do is to train the team, integrate some of his new ideas into the team, and let the team practice more. At the same time, the team also has to reserve physical strength at this time to prepare for the start of the new season.

However, when making this preparation, some people questioned Li Bin's arrangement.

And the person who gave the opinion was none other than Allegri.

Li Bin is ready to make him the next coach of Parma, and when making tactical arrangements, there are many things that are carefully taught to him. It's just that, as an assistant coach, he's not very qualified. His temperament is better than Esposito, at least he will not confront Li Bin in person, and in terms of decisiveness, he is not bad, but his tactical knowledge reserve is much worse.

The biggest difference between being an assistant coach and being a head coach is that you need more tactical knowledge in case the manager needs it. At this point, he didn't do much well.

It's a hassle to work with an assistant coach who isn't familiar with his own mind and can't help much.

However, Li Bin still endured it: Count it as a hone for yourself, when you get to the Premier League, you can't use the assistant coach over there, and it's not a bad thing to contact the assistant coach first.

And this time, the question he raised made Li Bin aware that sometimes, not everyone on the coaching staff can immediately understand his thoughts, and communication with the coaching staff is very important.

"Coach Li, I have always believed that your team is about pursuing beauty, but now it seems that ......, your team seems to be changing in a bad place." Allegri looked at Li Bin's training and couldn't help but ask his own question, "In the past, Parma has always been known for its strong positional combat ability, and in the whole of Italy, there is hardly any team here that can be above Parma's positional combat ability. We're good at tough fights, we've got tough fights, but right now, it looks like you're doing ......"

"Increasing the team's counter-attacking ability, is it going to make the team play badly?" Li Bin asked rhetorically.

"Yes. I don't think it's as good as it used to be. Allegri immediately explained, "Of course, I'm not looking good, I actually think it's better to be ugly. However, what I want to ask is: after playing uglier like this, are we stronger? ”

'The main thing is not to be stronger: we don't have enough squad this season, compared to last season, so we have to find a way to change the way we play a little bit. It's really nice to play positional battles, but it's really tiring to play positional battles. We are understaffed this season and we can't play so openly, so we have to think about using more counter-attacks to increase efficiency. It's not because it's strong. Li Bin explained.

"In other words, this is to save physical strength, not the direction to pursue." Allegri was disappointed.

"Not necessarily. In fact, there are no certain rules for whether football is good, bad, beautiful or ugly, and we can still rely on some changes to make the team more beautiful. It is not necessarily that a counterattack will be ugly, but positional warfare must be beautiful, and the key is how to use it. ”

Allegri was a little puzzled by these words, but would it be beautiful to fight back? This was beyond his comprehension, but this was something that Li Bin had figured out.

After last year's Champions League, he figured out a lot of things, and Li Bin is no longer so insistent on pressing football. He began to understand that when he is too stubborn about a certain style of play, it often makes the game monolithic, and a single game will not look good and it will be difficult to win. Poverty is change, change is common, only change, is the way to survive.

Any tactic has its merits, and if you have to say that one style of play is the most beautiful, it is a bit paranoid. Football is round, and there is no top-notch place in football, so what tactics are there top-notch places?

In my memory, even Barcelona's self-proclaimed most beautiful football is inevitably considered unsightly by some people. Moreover, among them, there are some outstanding football coaches from both the UK and Germany. Is football in Barcelona really not good? I'm afraid even Real Madrid fans can't say the same. During the period of 09-11, Barcelona's players were indeed the most delicate, skilful and fluent team in the world. However, they were already playing a little too one-size-fits-all at the time. Giving up headers, giving up set-pieces, giving up quick raids, giving up dead guard tactics did make them look strong, but a little too paranoid.

Barcelona was too paranoid and used possession as a means to gain an advantage from the beginning, and then expanded to possession for the sake of possession, which made their football lose its charm. From season 12 onwards, they no longer possessed the ball for the sake of winning, but for the sake of possession, and as long as they were able to control the ball, nothing else mattered. Even if you can't win the game, you can control the ball. In doing so, they will naturally lose their charm, even if their tactics are good and the players are good, it will be difficult to improve. Pep Guardiola realised that their progress was hopeless and left them, and after a new coach, Vilanova began to play with wings and Martino began to play long balls, both for the sake of change - just doing so, and causing the fans to scold again and again, because their minds were frozen in possession of the ball, as if if they did not control the ball, they would not be Barcelona.

No matter how good a tactic is, it can't be held for a lifetime. The tide of tactics is constantly evolving, and it will change every three or four years, and it is not a good practice to always cling to the defects.

Li Bin doesn't want to go down that path, and this season, making football more diverse is also one of his pursuits. He knew that when he reformed like this, there might be some obstructive voices, Allegri was nothing, and the media would be louder in the future, but he had to withstand it.

In my memory, when Barcelona played well, coaches all over the world couldn't wait to say that they were learning from Barcelona. Villas-Boas, Jurgen Klopp, even Bayern said so. However, when Barcelona fell, Boas ignored it for the time being, Klopp said that Barcelona football was hypnotic, and Beckenbauer accused Barcelona football of being boring - for a while, it was all the wall falling and everyone pushing it.

Football can't go so long without change, sticking to the previous set is looking for death.

"These things, if you don't like them, you can take them slowly......"

Li Bin explained to Allegri, but Allegri immediately spoke, "No, I think the counterattack tactic is very good, I especially like this tactic. ”

These words made Li Bin look at him twice.

Allegri's coaching characteristics are also very special: his tactical ability is quite average, and Li Bin believes that in Italy, there are many coaches with better tactical ability than him. His personality is also extremely stubborn, stiff, rigid, and a little inflexible, but he does have his own tactical thinking.

He has some understanding of his own tactics: he has a very stubborn pursuit of stacking up the backline, and for the front court, he does not like delicate coordination, preferring simple attacks from the back. He didn't have a lot of tactical skills, he used the simplest and easiest tactics to finish the game, so to speak, this is a typical Italian, the kind of coach who thinks that simple counter-attacking tactics can do something.

It's not a problem to be stubborn in counter-attacking tactics, and there are many coaches who are very stubborn in their counter-attacking tactics, and if they can play well, they can also be very strong. However, Allegri has another problem, that is, although he has a very stubborn thinking, he does not pay much attention to tactical details.

Even if it's a counter-attacking tactic, you have to think about the position of the players and think about the attacking tactics of the players. However, Allegri can't even do such a thing. As an Italian-born coach, his tactical command ability, to put it mildly, is only at the level of the Chinese Super League, even if the idea is good, but the skills are not enough, it will become a problem.

This is why he was always considered a coach by luck in the future. There's nothing wrong with his thinking, and that's when there are good players, counter-attacking tactics are really easy to achieve: because they're simple and easy to operate. However, the lack of detail processing skills has always caused problems for his team. They can't score goals until they get to the big tournament when the players are serious and they can play enough, or when the team is at its bottom and the opponent's defense is tight.

This is also the domineering of the legendary Ah Yi - to put it bluntly, it is a stubborn temper, I don't know how to repent, and then I will meet the luck. But then again, there are really not many of my own teams that play so badly and can be tense.

This also made Li Bin sigh: as a coach, he doesn't think about how to improve his ability, but just thinks about relying on counterattack tactics to take advantage of opportunism, which is this virtue.

"What you need most now is to read more of the tactical information I gave you, and find a way to improve your tactical ability, which will be good for you. You can't always try your luck at fighting back, it's not a good idea. ”

Although Li Bin didn't plan to cooperate with him more in the future, he still decided to persuade him more. Allegri and Prandelli are two extremes, his tactical knowledge is too poor, and if he doesn't replenish it well, he will definitely suffer a big loss in the future. Since Li Bin wants him to take over Parma, then it is good to use this year's contact time to let him enrich his tactical knowledge, so that he can improve a little and become a coach in the future.

However, Allegri didn't pay much attention to Li Bin's words.

"It's okay, God will bless me."

God willing...... Are you really relying on your life to teach? Well, this season, I'll see if you can share my points with your hard life!
