vs 320 Destroys withering and decaying
Obviously, returning to Russia made Arshavin very happy and allowed him to play well.
In Moscow, Arshavin performed well, and the whole stadium was cheered, and everyone was very satisfied with his performance.
This made Li Bin a little surprised, and he was still more happy.
Li Bin has overlooked one thing before: for many European countries, players who play well are very influential, and for these core players of this kind of team, which can basically be said to be the top half of the team that can be topped by one person, this can be treated very horribly within the country.
In my memory, Kaladze of Georgia insisted on becoming the deputy prime minister, and Zidane's agent publicly declared that even if Zidane shot and killed people directly on the streets of Paris, the matter would be erased. Shepchenko, on the other hand, was determined to enter politics before retiring, and for this reason he also transferred to Chelsea - but more tragically, not only did he not play at Chelsea, but soon after retiring, Ukraine became an inseparable part of Russia......
Russia doesn't have such a strong football tradition compared to those teams, but they are also warmly welcomed by the captain of the national team, the leading star. Arshavin is now the team's leading star in Russia, and although he is a player from St. Petersburg, he is also highly regarded in Moscow, where he is treated with the warmest treatment.
And he played very well, and after a successful pass that resulted in a goal, Arshavin also played harder. Soon, Parma found another opportunity: Grosso snatched up an attack from his opponent and gave it a kick to Motta in midfield. Motta didn't rush in, but ran two steps slightly down the middle, and after a turn, after forming a chance to link up with Yaya Toure, he kicked the ball directly to the feet of Arshavin on the left.
A pretty good pass – Motta in the middle – drew attention and then went straight to the back – a style of play that was sharp enough to be the best way to play against a weak team. Parma did not let down his vigilance against CSKA Moscow, but attacked with all his might.
Arshavin ran out of an absolute gap and there was no one around him at all, which allowed him to receive the ball and kick it straight towards the middle.
Milito in the middle received the ball that flew over, and with a vicious header, smashed the ball into the net!
2-0.
And that's not the end of it. Soon, Parma had a third chance. This time, when Arshavin in the middle ran back, Yaya Toure, who was facing him, stuffed the ball straight over. Arshavin had people on either side, and he had a hard time catching the ball, so he slipped it between his legs, and then he turned around and chased after it as fast as he could. On the edge of the penalty area, he had been caught up by the defenders, but it was when he was closely guarded that Arshavin raised his foot and shot hard and blasted the ball into the goal!
"Andrei Arshavin !!!"
The name that sounded on the court made everyone cheer together, and also made Li Bin sigh a little: This year's Golden Ball-level performance is really not blown, and this kind of play intensity is not bad compared to Kakalai last season.
And his players have recovered, Milito has regained his form, Arshavin is getting better and better, Rossi is also preparing to come back, these players have played good football, and Parma's strength has also improved step by step.
In the away game, Parma dominated the away game and killed CSKA Moscow, and Parma was also in the league, ushering in the most difficult adjustment time before the winter break. They still have five league games and one European game to play, but that doesn't matter to Parma anymore. It doesn't matter what kind of game it looks like.
In the next league game, they still won comfortably against Chievo. This is not a level of opponent with them, and their victory is very simple.
And then their opponent is Fiorentina. In this game, Parma was even more prepared for nothing and directly conceded defeat.
This is a direct admission of defeat in the true sense of the word - Parma sent a team of substitutes and came back with a 2-0 loss. They have no idea of fighting Fiorentina at all, and it is clear that for them it is better to lose.
Fiorentina is not weak now, although it has not yet been the 09-10 season, eliminated Liverpool, and fought with Bayern in the knockout rounds, but they are also steadily improving, and it is not much good for Parma to fight with such a team. Especially Li Bin has a good relationship with Fiorentina, and he has no idea of blocking Fiorentina, and it doesn't hurt him to let Fiorentina compete for fourth place - at least he has to put some pressure on Juventus before he can do business in the summer.
And for Parma's somewhat deliberate defeat, the Italian media did not make any comments - although this game looks like match-fixing, but since this game is lost, the beneficiary is Inter Milan, then, the media has also chosen to collectively shut up: match-fixing is only necessary to verify when it is harmful to a big team.
Then, in the following match, Parma did not make another mistake. Against Empoli, they managed to get the win and settle down again.
However, in the last game of the Champions League group stage after that, they only got one draw - anyway, Chelsea has already beaten Shakhtar Donetsk in the fifth round to get three points, and the last game is still at home, Li Bin no longer cares about winning or losing, they did not do their best again, but did rotation, so that the players can feel some of the atmosphere of the Champions League, and at the same time prepare for the rest of the game.
At the same time as Parma draw, Chelsea also won at their home stadium: as Li Bin expected, Grant is still quite skillful, he knows how to follow the rules, do not change tactics, just adjust the atmosphere in the dressing room, and then let the players rely on their own ability and fighting spirit to play the last two games, and successfully reached the last 16 of the Champions League after the last game.
It's just that they are second in this group, and when they are grouped, I am afraid that they will not be so lucky. This year's Pot 1 teams are all strong teams, so most of the teams that have qualified first in the group are also giants, and no matter who Chelsea meet, it will be the impact of Mars hitting Earth. In contrast, Parma's luck is much better, and the strongest in the group is Milan, but Parma don't have to worry about drawing them, which is much better than Chelsea.
After the Champions League is no longer a problem, Parma is also in the league and is ready to win the rest of the league games. They have four games left before the winter break, and these four games are against Empoli, Genoa, Chievo and Lecce, several teams are not strong teams, and it is not difficult for Parma to play, although the schedule of the two matches a week is a little tighter, but Parma won effortlessly.
On 10 December, Parma got off to a good start to the streak thanks to Milito's brace over Empoli.
On 13 December, goals from Arshavin and Edinson Cavani gave Parma another victory.
On December 17, Crespo, who rotated as the main player, scored a goal, Cannavaro Jr. headed into the net, and Hamsik, who came on as a substitute, also scored his first goal of the season, although Parma conceded another goal due to defensive instability, but still won 3-1.
On 23 December, Parma beat Lecce in the league, with Keita's long-range strike and Jovedic's late goal giving Parma their last win in the closing stages of the season.
Four wins in four games - Parma after the end of the Champions League, the magnificent side shown in the league, the devastating style of play, also made the whole league frightened: they have turned their attention to the Champions League this season, otherwise, Inter Milan and such a Parma race, is there really any hope?
"Now it seems that Li Bin's transfer to the Champions League is really a victory for Inter Milan......"
The media gave such comments, but in addition to the comments, they also had some indescribable sadness: such a coach was forced to be stunned by the atmosphere of Serie A, not only blindly wanting to leave, but also unwilling to devote his energy to the league. What is wrong with such Serie A? In Italy now, is there still a little bit of the World Cup?
After four rounds, Parma won four wins, coupled with the results of the previous fourteen rounds, Parma won 18 rounds, 12 wins, 4 draws and two losses, 40 points, ushered in the winter break.
40 points is not very high, if you compare it with last season, it is a lot worse. 40 minutes and a half, then the score of the whole season may not be able to go up to 85 points, such a number of points, competing for the championship, naturally there is little hope. But thinking of this, this is what Li Bin said about not playing well in the Champions League, just playing casually, and the results made other teams, some of them speechless: this casual play results, but most of the teams that have gone all out in Serie A have no power to resist.
In any case, Parma has already achieved a decent half of the season, and a score of 40 points can guarantee a stable top three or even second, which is reasonable. When the main focus is not in the league, he was able to get a high score of 40 points in the halfway, which is also very good.
In the Champions League, the results of five wins and one draw have also made Parma the favorite to win the Champions League - 16 points of Champions League group points, there have not been a few times in the entire history of the Champions League, especially when Parma encountered the group of death, they can stand out in the group of death, and it also proves their current strength, therefore, in the odds offered by the bookmaker, Parma is second only to Barcelona and Manchester United, ranking third in Europe.
The current situation of Parma is already a tiger, waiting to win the Champions League.
And when Parma was preparing for victory, Li Bin also greeted his guests: Martins had returned from England, and he had also brought Li Bin information from there, telling him how the news was there.
