Section 109 The league begins

When Parma defeated Liverpool and won the UEFA Super Cup, the whole of Italy and England was in a state of disbelief.

"How could Liverpool lose carelessly at this time!"

England attributed Liverpool's defeat to Liverpool's carelessness when they played, ignoring the fact that Liverpool were simply suppressed by the whole game. Although in this game, Parma scored two goals, the number of shots, passes, and interceptions were all superior, but, because Parma is not a strong team, so, in their opinion, this is due to Liverpool's carelessness. If Liverpool hadn't been deceived by Parma and mistakenly thought that Parma weren't a rough team, how could they have lost?

This issue is the most concerned issue in the English media.

And Li Bin was also forced to ask questions by many reporters.

"Coach Li Bin, before the game, before the game, you said that rough defense and headers are the methods used by weak teams, but your team won by relying on rough defense and headers. Can you explain why you would do this? ”

In the face of the reporter's question, Li Bin only shrugged his shoulders, "Yes, that's what I said...... We're the underdogs, aren't we the underdogs compared to Liverpool? ”

Such words make reporters speechless, and if they don't want to say this kind of face, they will say it directly, so that the media will have nothing to say...... However, what Li Bin said is also right, compared with a G14 team like Liverpool, Parma is naturally a weak team, there is no problem with Li Bin's words, but it sounds really awkward!

Before the game, Li Bin's words were menacing, and Italian football has always despised British football, Li Bin's words, no matter how you look at it, are to provoke the Liverpool team, therefore, everyone also thinks that he wants to give Liverpool an ugly look, but who would have thought that his idea was to rely on this method to confuse Liverpool, and then beat Liverpool with a more brutal style of play?

This practice really makes the English media not know how to scold the street if they want to scold it. Could it be that Li Bin has plagiarized England's privilege to play roughly? There is really no contention for this kind of power......

"Parma's football is too barbaric......"

The English media complained incessantly after the game. The Italian media, on the other hand, are all gloating.

"I really didn't expect that one day we could hear English football accuse Italian football of being too rude......"

English football has long been complained of being boorish across Europe, but only the English consider themselves to be tough. In this game, the rare Englishman suffered such a loss, which naturally made the Italians laugh.

Such a humiliating thing also made the other side of the game, when interviewed, just hang their heads and have nothing to say. Benitez, who was interviewed, could only bow his head and say a few untight words of 'it was an accident' before he stopped talking. And Gerald and when they were interviewed, they all complained a few words, and they had nothing to say.

However, although Liverpool said that they lost the UEFA Super Cup, they were still not too discouraged. After all, for a giant team like Liverpool, although it didn't win the championship, it is not worrying, after all, the Super Cup is not a particularly important game, they are Champions League champions, the Champions League is in hand, who will remember a Super Cup?

In fact, it is also the same: although they lost the UEFA Super Cup, Parma returned directly to Italy after winning the title, while Liverpool remained in Parma at this time, waiting for the Champions League draw for the new season, and Gerrard also took over the honor of the best player in the Champions League.

Compared with the Champions League, the European Super Cup is still a little worse.

Back in Italy, Italy is celebrating once again winning the European Championships.

"Italian football has proven to be one of the best leagues in Europe, and we are still a force that leagues like England can't compete with. Although it is said that there was a rout in Istanbul last season, it was just Ancelotti's own mistake, and when it comes to real strength, Italy is still stronger than England. ”

Because it is a European competition, after all, it represents the honor of Italy, and the current Italian media are also more polite to Li Bin, and after winning two championships, the Italian media have also recognized his ability.

"After all, Coach Li Bin has been in Italy for a long time, and he still learned the essence of Italian football......"

"It's really not easy, after winning these two championships, the current Italian media will finally stop judging us."

After Li Bin sighed at Esposito, Esposito was also a little puzzled, "Do you care what they say?" I thought you didn't care about their media nonsense. ”

'Of course I don't care, but if we get too much blame, can our players have no impact? I don't want to go against the media, it's not about keeping the players in a good mood and not letting them live under pressure all the time, that's what we should do. ”

Li Binzhi said that as a foreign coach, he was greatly excluded from coaching in a place like Italy, and the best way to make others not exclude him was to fight for the interests of Italy. Only in this way can others have a good evaluation of him.

And if the evaluation is good, the pressure on the players will naturally be less. And after winning two titles, Italy now has a much better evaluation of itself, which also makes the team have a lot less trouble.

And after arranging this matter, Li Bin also led the team into the new season's competition.

"Parma showed a lot of quality in the game against Liverpool, which also gives us reason to believe that Parma should be able to play well in the new season......

After Parma won the UEFA Super Cup, for a while, Parma's evaluation has changed a lot, and many people believe that Parma's new season is likely to be able to get a good position. The bookmakers have adjusted their predictions again, predicting that Parma should be able to secure a European place, finishing fifth or sixth.

But this new estimate, Li Bin also believes, is still too low. Since he is so looked down upon, Li Bin also thinks that at the beginning of the season, he will play a good start to the season and show it to others.

He has this confidence: Parma's schedule is not bad, and the encounters of several strong teams in the first half of the season are at home to Roma in the fourth round, Juventus at home in the fifth round, Fiorentina away in the eighth round, Inter Milan in the twelfth round, and then, in January, Milan in the eighteenth round.

In the first few rounds, they were so sold-out that Palermo, who were eliminated in the preliminary round of the UEFA Cup, were promoted to Manempoli, and Chievo, who did not play enough last season.

This kind of schedule is still relatively easy. There are also few UEFA Cup games, with one nearby match against Denmark and then four group games. However, because there are not too many strong teams in the League Cup, and the format of the game is relatively nonsense, it is relatively simple to win two games in the group stage.

"Since the game is not difficult, then give me the momentum I should have!"

In the first game of the league, Parma faced Palermo, who finished sixth last season - last season, Palermo and Parma have always been contenders for European places, and at the beginning of this season, Parma and Palermo faced each other, and they were also the schedulers of the schedule, and they wanted to deliberately watch a lively game.

originally thought that such an arrangement would be a lively battle of dragons and tigers, but no one expected that from the beginning of the game, Parma would comprehensively suppress Palermo.

"Parma showed incredible quality in this game. Palermo simply don't have enough quality to get past the midfield, and their flanks are completely suppressed by Parma, and they don't seem to be able to fight Parma at all......

Last season, when Parma and Palermo played FC, the two sides played 3-3. This time, however, the situation has changed a lot. Parma's three backs completely told the opponent what it means to be closed. Toure and Melo's sweeps, sometimes there will be some holes, but at this time, after Parma laid a Tacinadi in the midfield, he connected the back line, the forward is to hook up two central midfielders, and the left and right ends are connected to the two wings, he added one of the most important links of Parma, and also made Parma's lineup more impeccable.

The game against Palermo, almost just after halftime, Palermo gave up resistance, this summer, they sold a lot of people, originally thought that Parma, who was bleeding hemorrhage, was difficult to resist, but who knows, as soon as the two sides played, Parma completely pressed them too much.

The game was played in such a situation, and at the beginning of the second half, Parma finally scored the first goal. After a series of links up front, Rui Costa crossed a through ball into the box, and Milito, who had the opportunity, made a sharp turn to get rid of it, and scored Parma's first goal.

After scoring the goal, Parma's attack became more ferocious, but it was because of their own anxiety that they were unable to score until the end of the game, when substitute Kluivert passed back to Rossi, and Rossi shot a shot to make it 2-0.

Parma's first game, that's how they won. Although the team still didn't have enough tacit understanding, they still managed to get a 2-0 victory.

Compared with their scores, what is even more concerning is the great momentum they have shown, and the situation of having the upper hand is even more surprising.

"Parma's quality is astonishing, their first game, they beat Palermo with a completely pressing style of play, and their season is something to look forward to. On the contrary, Palermo's strength has declined so much this season, they have not played well, they have been suppressed by Parma all over the field, and they have played very undecently......"

In the newspapers, there was immediately praise for Parma and a denunciation of Palermo, but Palermo soon proved that they were not inferior. In the second round, when Palermo met Inter Milan, they knocked out Inter Milan with a clean 1-0.

Obviously, it's not that Palermo is too weak, it's that Parma is too strong.
