Section 170 Season outlook
At the beginning of the season, when the team was training, Li Bin also brought Esposito to him and discussed with him in detail the general preparations for the season.
"Have you already thought of your goals for next season?" Esposito was also interested in this question, "Let's talk about what our goal is. ”
"First of all, we want to win a league title." Li Bin said, "We won the championship trophy last season, but our players don't seem to be very satisfied. ”
"I'm not satisfied. Now everyone outside is laughing at us, saying that other people's championships are fought on the field, and our champions are issued by the Football Association sitting at home. ”
"Let them laugh at it, why didn't the Football Association give it to them? Isn't it because of our good strength that we grabbed the second place? Why not give the championship to Venice, but to us? If you don't have the strength, why should you let people give us the championship. Li Bin sneered, and then restrained his expression again, "But, I think, next season, it's time for us to compete for the league championship." Just after the phone gate, Juventus is still making trouble, and you also know that the left and the right are quite fierce, I don't know how much the leftist cabinet can support for a few days, at this time, the league does not dare to make too much trouble, we finally look forward to a relatively fair league environment, this season, no matter how we say, we have to try to compete for the league championship. ”
"Actually, it's just because you're unhappy that you've been scolded by Inter, right?"
After Parma won the championship, accusations against Parma throughout Italy have been endless. The most argument is naturally ugly, unearned, sitting back and enjoying the results and so on. Some of this was scolded by the media at Inter Milan, and some by the media at Juventus and AC Milan.
Although the Holy Alliance scolded happily, they have also fallen to the bottom, and now there is no time to deal with them, and Inter Milan scolded together, Parma can make them regret it even more.
Li Bin shook his head, "There are reasons for this, but it's not the biggest reason. I'm the head coach of the team, and I can't just take a year of hard work with us because of a bad thing. I think more about the current strength of the team. ”
That's true.
Last season, although they won the championship, the Parma players were not satisfied with this, but they all wanted to work harder. The championship issued by the Football Association, this reputation is really not good, and they all want to get a real championship on the field.
Therefore, the current Parma is very good, especially in the league to compete for the championship, they are willing to go all out. And their fighting spirit, coupled with Parma's strength, also made Li Bin feel that he should bet on the league championship.
Although this season is the dominant Inter Milan family in memory, it is because there is no self in memory. Since he was able to snatch the title from Inter Milan once, he was able to snatch it a second time. In my memory, because of the phone gate, other teams suffered serious setbacks, Inter Milan did not have the Holy League as an enemy, firstly, there was no opponent, secondly, after being invincible, the mentality was very good, and they played a very beautiful season. But now, Parma is enough to be their fierce rival, and it is not so easy to become a dominant family.
"We haven't suffered much change this season, our players have grown a year old, and they have been training together for one more year, and the strength will definitely be further improved, we got 85 points last season, which is a good score, this season, if it goes well, I think it can go up a little more - after all, Juventus is relegated, Milan, Fiorentina have deducted points, their focus is definitely not the league, in the league, the terrible only Inter Milan and Roma are left, our strength has improved again, I want to try to get a score of 90 points. If all goes well, I personally think 30 wins, 6 draws, 2 losses, 96 points, is a decent score. ”
"Are you crazy? 90 points is ...... "Esposito wanted to say something, but he still didn't quarrel directly, "90 points means that for most teams in the entire league, it is a crushing level." In terms of our philosophy, we do have certain advantages, but football games, after all, are frequent accidents, and any small accident can lead to problems throughout the season, and the goal of 90 points is really a bit high. Personally, I think that 85 points is still a reasonable goal, and we can achieve it, it will not be difficult. ”
"Let's see, I don't think it's a high goal."
Li Bin knew the reason for Esposito's question, and they came from the 90s, after all, they didn't know what it meant to be a dominant family. In their opinion, 80 points or more is rare, and a 90-point champion is something that is not met in ten years.
But Li Bin doesn't think so, before the Boseman Act, the difference in the strength of the team was much smaller, and it was indeed rare to see the league. But the group of people before the Bosman Act are basically retired now, and the new era is different from the old era. Is it hard to win a league title with 90 points? It's just that they're not used to seeing high-scoring league champions. However, in Li Bin's case, he has seen more than one team that has won the championship with 90 points and 100 points, and he is certainly more courageous than Esposito to set goals.
"If you don't have 90 points, don't want to win. Inter Milan have expanded their squad this season and their quality will be beyond imagination, I think 90 points, maybe not enough insurance, we have to score a little higher. ”
Li Bin now has a little regret.
I have long known about the phone calls, and I have long known that I am going to be the enemy of Inter Milan this season, so why don't you want to weaken Inter Milan? If he had thought about helping Ibrahimovic contact the La Liga team early on, let him go to La Liga, and then recommend McCone and Maxwell to the Premier League team, and dismantle the side of Inter Milan, then what is the current Inter Milan afraid of? Without Ibrahimovic and McConn, how could Mancini have played himself?
But it is a mistake to patronize yourself and forget to make trouble for future competitors. If it had been arranged early, where would Inter Milan still be Parma's opponent this season? Perhaps, after Juventus, it will be Parma's turn to dominate Serie A.
He still only thinks about strengthening his team, and rarely thinks about weakening the opponent, which makes him think about it insufficiently, and the competition in the league will be very troublesome. However, having said that, winning a championship by weakening one's competitors, rather than making oneself stronger, is not too meaningful.
Because of these missteps, this season, he needs to think about how to make the team compete with Inter Milan, who are now very strong.
Inter Milan is determined to win this season's championship, especially Ibrahimovic, who first lost the championship, and then was completely expected by Li Bin in the transfer matter, and lost face. In the new season, although there is no Juventus, the IMBA monster, there is, but Inter Milan is strong, and it is also difficult to deal with.
"90 points, that's a pretty scary number." Esposito was also full of praise for this, "If the league goal is 90 points, then do we have to think about getting a little closer in the cup? ”
"My idea is to at least round of 16, preferably the top eight, and go for the top four – that's the end of it. Champion or something, it's better not to think about it. Li Bin came back, "The Champions League is not as competitive as the League Cup, the competition is much fiercer, and the confrontation is also some strong opponents, we have never played in the Champions League, and the experience is too bad." We are not familiar with the scale of the penalty and the pace of the game, and it is also very dangerous to play with different countries and different styles, so let's accumulate experience first. ”
Li Bin is not so arrogant as to think that he can win a title in his first year playing in the Champions League - yes, someone has done it, such as Jose Mourinho, but that is only possible with the bonus of great luck. Li Bin doesn't think he is a person of great luck, the Champions League game is a gathering of all the world's heroes, the top four of the Premier League, La Liga, Bayern, Lyon, and Milan are all there, against them, Parma no one dares to say that they will win, Li Bin naturally thinks that it is better to be a little safer.
Of course, no matter how safe it is, the round of 16 is a must. If you can't enter the semi-finals, go home in the group stage or play the League Cup again, and really get a League Cup small dynasty, Li Bin himself will go crazy.
And when it comes to pursuit, Parma are now the team in the second pot, and Li Bin feels that with a little hard work and good luck, he may be able to win the first place in the group. And if it is the top of the group, then Parma can also consider reaching the quarterfinals. Of course, after reaching the quarterfinals, it will be more difficult to go further. There is no weak team in the top four, considering the arrogance of the Premier League in the past two years, if you want to enter the top four, it is estimated that you have to fight to the death with a certain Premier League team, which is not an easy task for Parma.
However, give it a try, you can't be afraid before you fight. Don't get your hopes up too much, lest you be disappointed, but when you have the opportunity, you can't help but take a bite. Although the England team is strong, it is not invincible, and if it is really stubborn, it does not necessarily mean that it will not be able to win.
"If we want to play in the Champions League and the league at the same time, then the task is still very heavy, so let's not play the Coppa Italia."
Li Bin nodded, and let Esposito feel relieved. The Coppa Italia is a bit of a chicken rib for a team that has won the Champions League, with many games and small honors, which is really not interesting.
'If it goes well, we're going to win the league next season and a good European result. I'm not demanding, so that's enough to satisfy me. ”
"That's not all." Esposito said, "And the Italian Super Cup, and the UEFA Super Cup." ”
"You really want to win the five crowns." Li Bin smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I don't know if this Italian Super Cup is a weighty ......."
It stands to reason that the Coppa Italia Super Cup is the league winner against the cup winner, and in the case of the double, it is against the cup second. But this year, Juventus was relegated, which is equivalent to the first cup to beat the second cup - the whole third round of the Coppa Italia. It's a mess, and Li Bin doesn't bother to think about it.
"It's easy to win the Coppa Italia, but what about the UEFA Super Cup? They're in a bit of trouble, but Barcelona are still pretty strong......"
"That's right, let's take them for inspection." Li Bin opened his mouth and said, "Dream Team 2, right...... Well, let's help them wake up from their dreams! ”
