Section 203 Iron wall

In a 3-0 victory, Parma won against Bordeaux. In the second half, Parma's attack was not as fierce as in the first half, but Parma still relied on a set-piece opportunity to score a goal. It was Agger who scored for Parma this time, and his long-range effort from outside the box gave them their third.

With a win over Bordeaux, Parma have three wins and two draws, bringing their points to 11. Real Madrid in the same group has two wins, two draws and one defeat in five games, just reaching 8 points, while Bordeaux has two wins, one draw and two defeats, ranking third with 7 points, and the worst Copenhagen has one draw and four losses, except for a draw with Parma, has not won a single game, and is now at the bottom of the group.

At this point, Parma is already out of the queue ahead of schedule. And, with a draw in the last game, they could have topped the group, and even more happily saw Parma's Milito score six goals in five group games and are now top scorers in the Champions League – all four of which were scored in a single game, which is also a rare achievement.

Of course, the Champions League goal figures have always been more expensive the further you go. Ruud van Nistelrooy has a lot of goals in the Champions League, but if you look closely at the number of goals in the knockout round, there are few people, so he has been criticized for a long time, and those who can score in the Champions League final are all famous and talked about, Zidane's flying immortals, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's savior, Gerrard's counterattack, and the goal of Inzaghi's old demon in this year's final in memory...... Although Parma's results are good now, they are still in the group stage, which is not very significant.

After the fifth round of the group stage, the Coppa Italia competition also kicked off at this time. Although Parma didn't have to start playing immediately because they were in the top eight last season, Li Bin made arrangements in advance after thinking about it.

He doesn't want to win the Coppa Italia this season, and now he is a bit of a small coach, and this kind of cup competition does not mean much to improve his ability and fame. Therefore, he also decided to use the Coppa Italia more to train the players who don't play much on weekdays. Edinson Cavani, Matri, Silva, Nocerino, Keita, Samba, Koscielny – Parma have some good players on the bench, and they don't necessarily have the opportunity to play in the league, so it's a good idea to use the cup as a workout. However, Li Bin also made up his mind, no matter what kind of trouble they made, he would not interfere more - Parma's lineup could not withstand the third line, and he could not be greedy enough to swallow the elephant.

It's just that in this way, Parma's rotation will be more. How to do a good job of rotation and let the players play better is also the biggest test for Li Bin this season.

"If this continues, I don't have to have the nickname of a tinker......" In this regard, Li Bin smiled bitterly for a while, and then shifted his attention back to the league.

In the 13th round of the league, Parma won a 3-1 victory against Catania. The goal was scored by Rossi, who had not scored in sports for several rounds, and he broke the sports goal drought and scored a goal. Then, Yaya Toure's free kick successfully scored again, and even De Jong, who has been defending at the back this season, also scored a goal with a long-range shot, if it wasn't for Frei's mistake in attack, which made Parma concede a goal, this game was another textbook slaughter victory.

However, it is precisely because of Frey's conceded goal that another problem has been taken seriously after the game.

"Parma have only conceded five goals in the league this season, in 13 rounds! This season we were all staring at Milito and discussing the best centre-forward, but we ignored the fact that Parma had unknowingly built up one of the best defence in Serie A. ”

Parma have not conceded many goals this season, but they have been scattered, drawing two and conceding against Milan and Catania, with Parma conceding five goals in those four league games. In Li Bin's view, some of these goals can be avoided, and Parma can do better, but such a number of goals conceded is a bit scary in the eyes of other teams.

Although Serie A has always been known for its good defense, a champion team has to concede more than 20 goals every season. Last season's Juventus, although considered to be match-fixing, still conceded 21 goals. And Parma have conceded 5 goals in 13 rounds, and if it is converted into the number of goals conceded in a season, it is even possible to concede less than 15 goals in a season, how can people not be surprised?

15 goals conceded, only twice in the last 20 years of football. One was during the Milan dynasty, because of the ban in the European competition, AC Milan had nowhere to go, went all out in the league, did not lose a game in the season, and successfully won the championship at the same time, but also brushed the unbeaten number to 47 games by the way, and the number of goals conceded throughout the year was 15. The other is Chelsea in the 04-05 season, although they were not able to achieve a season unbeaten, but relying on the defensive line that Carvalho can only play as a substitute, they also only conceded 15 goals in the whole year and successfully won the league title. Conceding 15 goals, in this era, has been regarded as a kind of defensive extreme, Parma's attack this season has always been praised, and most teams that are good at attacking are not good at defending, people don't care too much about their defense, but now look around, people have to admire, when did they have this kind of efficiency?

"If Parma can really win the title with 15 goals or less than 15 goals conceded, then they can be considered to have created a new era. In 38 games, no one has ever been able to do this, not even AC Milan, who are considered invincible on paper, Parma, can it really do? ”

In fact, Serie A's record of not conceding a goal has to be considered a little further. In the 69-70 season, Cagliari won the league championship with 45 points by conceding 11 goals in the season - at that time, there were only 16 teams in Serie A, 30 games, and at the same time, it was still a two-point system, and the total win was only 60 points, Cagliari got 45 points, which is already remarkable. However, football in the early 70s was too far away from time, and when people talked about records, they rarely mentioned it, so when it comes to Parma, people are more likely to talk about the Milan dynasty. Looking at Parma's goal figures, looking at their goals conceded figures, and thinking about how they have not conceded a goal in 13 rounds so far, a common thought in everyone's mind is: Is Parma really reaching that intensity?

"I don't think Parma can be compared to Milan at the beginning, although we didn't lose a game, but Inter Milan didn't lose a game either. Who is Milan and who is Perugia will have to wait until the season is over. ”

Li Bin is talking about the 79-80 season, in that season, although Perugia got 12 wins, 18 draws and 0 losses in the season undefeated, but after the season, it was still lost to Milan, very sad to be undefeated, only won the second place in the league, and was taken away by Milan.

Li Bin mentioned them in order to make people less likely to discuss some of the issues of Parma. Such a discussion may seem like a good thing, but who can say for sure that it will not cause trouble? What if any player feels that he is strong and makes a mistake? Or do you think you're strong enough to go out and leave Parma? At that time, Li Bin is afraid that he will face trouble. Especially now that the winter break is still a month away, there can be no such rumors at this time.

For a team, slander and killing are very deadly things. Most of Parma's players come from humble backgrounds and are not talented teenagers who have been touted since they were teenagers, so they don't care much about disparagement, but for such praise, Li Bin can't guarantee that they can be very calm.

Therefore, his choice is to keep a low profile and definitely not make the players proud.

In this regard, although Esposito is also very supportive, but in private, he also expressed his attitude to Li Bin, "Don't be too harsh, it's not easy for the players to play to this point, we should be more tolerant of them." In any case, only five goals have been conceded in 13 rounds, which is something to be proud of. ”

"I don't think so. I think it's due to the decline in Serie A. Lorenzo, since last season, how many teams in the league can fight against us, so that we can't resist? The Holy League has fallen, Fiorentina, Udinese and other second-tier teams have declined, and we naturally seem to stand out from the crowd. It's not a good situation, because playing against the underdogs doesn't help us much – in fact I'm wondering if we can help the opponent a little bit more so that our players can sharpen themselves. ”

Don't say that 5 of 13 rounds are lost, even if there are a few less, he won't care very much, in memory, Roma will concede 1 goal in 9 rounds in the future, but so what? Didn't you lose to Juventus in direct dialogue? Before you win the most rearly championship, don't be too high-profile, those who get scared often die early, and if you lose quietly, you won't be too embarrassed.

And he didn't want to speak, but there were other media that commented on him.

"Parma are conceding fewer goals now, and for his reasons, they are playing pressing football and what they value most is the time the ball is in the opposition half. Keeping the ball in the opponent's half will naturally give them fewer chances to score, and in this respect, they have a lot in common with Barcelona's philosophy of keeping the ball at their feet. It's just that the difference between Parma and Barcelona is that their backfield players have strong one-on-one ability, and they are not particularly afraid of the opponent's squatting counterattack - but if the opponent's one-on-one is stronger than Parma, Parma is also in a lot of trouble, the most typical is to be beaten twice by Ibrahimovic against Inter Milan - compared to Barcelona, their passing is a little worse, so although they can suppress the opponent, it is difficult to show Barcelona-like fluency, Ornamental is relatively insufficient. ”

"The strength and weakness of the players in a team is the foundation of the team. However, when the quality of the players is outstanding, the coach's philosophy is the biggest support for the team to further improve. The same excellent group of people, brought to different people, can lead out of different states. There are a few teams in European football that like to change coaches, and we can all see from Real Madrid, Inter Milan and other teams, under the coaching of different coaches, the same team will also reflect a very different state. Now Parma is strong, thanks to their outstanding philosophy, which is all the credit of Coach Li Bin, it has been proved that this young Asian has an advanced concept that is ahead of the world in football, his philosophy, makes Parma's strength outstanding, this Parma is strong, he is the biggest hero! ”
