Saying goodbye to Ancelotti and on the way back to his home, Li Bin couldn't help but hum a song happily. This is the first time he is so happy after losing, although he lost this game, but some things that Li Bin couldn't figure out when he thought about it before are finally figured out now. In the past, there was a thin layer of fog in front of him, blocking him and the top coaches, but this loss made him see through the fog and see what was behind it.

Ancelotti is right, he is too ingenious, because of the stereotypical learning tactics, stereotypical imitation, deduction, in order to make every data extremely accurate, he has lost the overall vision of football. He has always known that he looked at football on a historical level, but he has never been able to look at football from a global perspective. He felt that he was standing high enough, but he forgot that football is changing, and even if he stays in the clouds, he will be caught up one day.

And now, he sees through that.

Lippi once said that football has long been without fixed tactics, and Ferguson also believes that football tactics are all deceptive. In the past, he always felt that these words were just perfunctory reporters by the old coaches, but now, he understands them all.

Compared with such a gain, what is a loss?

Only Li Bin himself understands how difficult and rare this is. Although Ancelotti said it simply, Li Bin knows that there are few coaches who can really reach this level.

Lippi is one, Bosque is one, England with a low level of Ferguson, the lowest starting point, but after years of grinding, after sending away Ronaldo in 09, it is also considered one, among so many coaches of the older generation, they can really see through the tactics completely, and use all the tactics at their fingertips, and only these three people can do it. Arsene Wenger tends to attack, Heathfield is conservative, Capello is too stubborn, Van Gaal is too stubborn – all of them have an obsession that they can't let go, and they can't get this far. It's Hiddink, because he coaches the national team, but he is more open than them, but he has been estranged from the club for a long time, and his level Li Bin is not easy to say.

Among the young marshals of the younger generation, although Ancelotti is talented, he is not meticulous enough; Although Mourinho is rigorous and serious, he is ultimately a success or failure; Benitez has too narrow a vision to see the threat of a small team, he has big eyes and a small heart, and he can make a name for himself but can't stand up for it; Guardiola's pursuit of perfection is too much and everything is indispensable, but he has lost a sense of freedom; None of them can reach the point where no matter what kind of broken lineup they are, they can play with a casual pinch.

How great is a coach of this calibre? To put it simply, in 2013, the same set of lineups, handed over to Ferguson, won the Premier League championship a few rounds in advance, and handed over to Moyes, people could only grit their teeth in anger, and Europa League qualification became a luxury. In 2010, Pep Guardiola had Messi, who could play attacking football, and the same football team, in the hands of Bosque, did not have an excellent offensive point, so he made a simple change, so that the team won the World Cup 1-0 in a row. As for Lippi, not to mention, I remember that before he became the owner of Evergrande, Evergrande was already the Chinese champion, and the Chinese media was still blindly pantothenic, thinking that changing the coach was harmful and unhelpful, but after a while, even the most stupid person had to admit that the distance between him and Lippibi, the Korean coach, was completely a few light years away.

In the past, Li Bin has also seen all kinds of unscientific lineups, Mourinho's four forwards, Ferguson's seven defenders, Spain's no striker in the European Cup, those teams that look strange and should not have won anyway have achieved unimaginable results, in the past, although Li Bin also thought they were unfathomable, but he always couldn't figure it out, but now, he understands a little.

This is like enlightenment, or the ascension of the realm. Ancelotti woke up what Li Bin had not understood all along, and let him touch the threshold of progress, which made Li Bin have a vague view of another world, and he believed that as long as he had time and spent some of his energy, he would definitely be able to become the top coach.

This also made Li Bin sigh his luck: if he hadn't met Prandelli, he helped him systematically summarize all the things he had learned in the past ten years, and formed a complete tactical concept, which he would not have understood even if he saw it. And if Ancelotti hadn't woken him up, it would have taken him another five or six years to figure out these things for him.

Lippi didn't have this insight until he was 50 years old, and Bosque didn't have this ability until he was 50 years old. And Ferguson is even more sad, England's football concept is backward, he has to take a detour to learn advanced football theory more than others, and he didn't come to this point until he was almost 70 years old.

And now, I am just thirty-three years old, and after this step is completed, my future is really limitless. I can sink my mind, go all out for any weak team, and I can also jump out of the whole circle and condescendingly evaluate football from the perspective of a traverser, I have a great advantage, and for myself, the future is limitless.

Even, not to mention the future, even now, facing Ancelotti in the second leg, he also has some new ideas. Even if he can't win, he has to let him know that he is powerful.

Li Bin found that after losing this time, he didn't have too much dissatisfaction - the original dissatisfaction disappeared after realizing the gap between himself and Ancelotti. Now, he's only happy about his progress, and the game has been put aside.

Should it be said that the heart of the defeat is convinced? Not really, it's just that this failure, for himself, can really be said to be Chenggu's happy defeat, and he now understands this sentence a little: as a chess player, improving yourself is the most important, a game of endgame, and the chess player's own realm improvement which is more important? You don't have to ask.

"An Zhu, let's come to Japan, don't think that this is your win......" Li Bin muttered, but with a smile on his face. It wasn't until he returned to the door of the hotel that he was stunned.

Outside the door, a figure stood there, as if it had been waiting for a long time. It was late at this time, but this man was standing under the street lamp and waiting.

"Luca?" Li Bin couldn't believe it, "Luca, is that you?" Do you put it out? ”

Luca Ballaldi, Parma's manager, is now standing under the street lamp, waiting for Li Bin's arrival. Although he has only been seen for a few days, Li Bin almost can't recognize him, his current appearance has changed a lot, and that haggard face is not like what Li Bin usually sees him.

"Well, I'm fine." Balaldi raised his head and saw Li Bin coming, he greeted Li Bin, only to see the smiling face he forced out, which made Li Bin's original joy all swept away, "Why are you here?" If there's something, go inside and say it. Li Bin remembered something, "Your house has been searched, can you still live?" If you can't live there, I'll live in my house now. ”

"No need, I have a place to live." Balaldi shook his head, "I'm here just to tell you one thing, I'm quitting." ”

"Resigned? You're saying you're no longer Parma's manager? Li Bin repeated a few sentences blankly, and then laughed, "It's okay, it's okay to rest for a year or two, and then come back." The past two years have been too chaotic, and you have been too tired in the past two years, so you should rest. ”

"I'm afraid I won't be back in the future."

"Tired of it?" Li Bin smacked his lips, "Otherwise, Martins runs an agent company, you can also work there, with your connections, he will definitely beg you to go......"

"Li, I agreed, from now on, I will go to Inter Milan as the deputy director of the marketing department." Balaldi interrupted Li Bin's words, "Lee, I have nothing to do with Parma in the future. ”

Li Bin was stunned.

Serie A has this tradition of poaching the management of competitors directly is nothing new in Serie A. Hearing what Balaldi said, Li Bin was sure that he was indeed fine: after joining Inter Milan, he no longer had to worry about the case. Inter Milan is leaving, and he has received a large part of Parma's youth information, and he has kept himself, and he will not let the situation expand, and everyone is happy.

Perhaps, except for Balaldi himself.

"For the sake of Parma, is it worth it?" Li Bin thought of this possibility, but it was still a little difficult to accept if he really wanted to say it.

"Not for Parma, it's for myself. It's me who I'm afraid of being troubled, and I have nothing to do with Parma or with you. Balaldi shook his head.

"It's too hard to accept."

"There's nothing hard to accept, it's okay, I'm finally leaving Parma: I was appointed by Mr. Tanzi, and I've been working for so many years, and I haven't changed my place, and time has passed, and Mr. Tanzi is in prison, and I saw little Tanzi a little bit ago, working as a worker in the factory...... I'm much better than they are. ”

"You shouldn't be like them! Anyway, you've never been sorry for Parma, Luca, I've known you for a long time, I know who you are, I know how much you love Parma, you're different from them. ”

Li Bin never believed that Bharardi would be a behind-the-scenes participant in fake accounts and black whistles: as a person who never left the team when it went bankrupt and shared honor and disgrace, how could he sell the interests of the team, how could he be greedy for money? Li Bin never believed those words. He and Balaldi have contradictions, the two of them, as management and coaching staff, have great contradictions with each other, but, Li Bin knows that this is an inevitable conflict at work, Balaldi may have some minor problems, but he is still a friend.

"Li, there's no need to say these words again, it's over. I'm here to tell you that you don't have to worry about any trouble from above. I took care of it. It's the last thing I can do for you, for Parma, and this season's league title can't be snatched away unless you throw it yourself. Come on, bring us back a real league title. Balaldi smiled at Li Bin, "And, I really want to ask, do we still have hope for the Champions League?" ”

This sentence made Li Bin speechless. He was still telling himself just now that even if he lost the Champions League, it would be worth it, he had improved, and the Champions League would be regarded as paying the tuition, and it didn't matter, but now, in front of Balaldi, he couldn't say it.

Seeing Li Bin's embarrassment, Balaldi also shook his head, "It's too difficult, forget it, I'm too greedy." It doesn't matter. When I was growing up, Parma didn't even have to play in Serie A, didn't you see it the same? Don't be pressured, it doesn't matter. ”

Li Bin lowered his head, not knowing what to say. He originally thought that after the end of the season, he would leave and no longer care about Serie A, but now, he really can't say it.

Where's that easy?
