What a boring and tedious winter break, and the only fun I had during this winter break was to guess who my future partner would be.

Lying in the room, Palmeri lazily stared at the sun by the window, thinking about the present and the future in his head, and could not get up to get up. Of course, he thinks mostly about the future, because the current Parma is also in nothing to think about.

In the past half season, he has seen what it means to be a building toppling. He still remembers how the fans cheered around them and how the media saluted them when they won the championship last season, but only half a year later, Parma is now unrecognizable.

Debuting in such an era is really not something to be happy about. Palmeri has become the main force of the team this season, he has seen with his own eyes how Parma has gone from being close to full every game to only half of the attendance now, he has also seen the banner 'We are European champions' become 'You are a bunch of fools', he himself has changed from the second Cannavaro who was popular by the media before the start of the season to the second Bonella who is now looked down on by the media, and the coach has changed from Li Bin's successor to a guy who commands by luck. All kinds of invective, insults, made Palmeri go from humiliation at the beginning, to anger later, and now, he is used to it.

Can I be blamed for this? Palmeri is also complaining about this. Allegri, the coach, is completely different from Li Bin, his coaching ideas are inherited from Saki, but the details of coaching are without Saki's characteristics. He's got an emphasis on defense, an emphasis on coverage, an emphasis on physicality, an emphasis on hand-to-hand combat – to put it bluntly, he just likes a bunch of black, hard players in the midfield, constantly fighting, squeezing, and fouling when necessary. Such tactics, if used well, can be regarded as a defensive concept, but Parma does not have such a person, with Gilardino and Rossi in front, the counter-robbery naturally has no strength, the midfield can not withstand it, the attack cannot be pressed, the midfield has no impact, can only rely on the backfield to continue to create an attack in advance, the tactics of the back four, long-term state of three defenders, do not cheat, what are you waiting for?

"You should leave Palma and go somewhere else." In this regard, his father often said to him, "Go to a big team, the big team can teach you better, and you can only go to the big team to not waste your talent." What's the point of keeping a team like Parma? There is no money, no grades, no benefit at all. ”

There is a certain truth in what his father said, it is true that there is no benefit at all in staying in Parma, but he is not sure where he is going to leave Parma. He knew that after he became famous, the top three in the north had contact with his father, and the two Milans had inspected him several times, and Juventus, on the other hand, sent Chiellini, who had played in Parma, to go to Juventus many times to form the strongest defense line in Italy, and by the way also prepare for the national team. However, Palmeri didn't have much thought about those requests. Maybe he was also influenced by his father, he admitted that he was a little selfish, the results of the Italian national team or something, he really couldn't bring up too much interest to care, what he wanted more was to play a higher level of football, and whoever could satisfy him in this aspect, he could follow the other party without hesitation.

It's a pity that it seems that none of the top three in the north can meet this. After Juventus is upgraded, what is the idea, they themselves may not be able to say, those guys, now need not a defender, but a brain. Although Inter Milan is quite ambitious, Inter Milan does not seem to want to spend too much money on defenders, and the talent of Inter Milan's loan over the years is unknown, which is also difficult to trust. Milan has a world-class coach and a Nesta who can preach and teach, which is the best choice, but not to mention whether Ancelotti will be able to stay in Milan next season, it seems to be very difficult to spend more than 10 million people in Milan now.

Where do you go? He has never considered the issue of money - he is also a stable international-level player in the future, there is no need to think about this issue - he thinks about going to a place where he can play his strength.

But it's hard to find. I also blame myself, I didn't disclose this meaning before, and it wasn't until the Club World Cup, after Parma lost, that he was completely disheartened and wanted to transfer, at this time, it seemed to be a little late.

"I'm looking for you, you have to wait." In this regard, his agent Martins has told him many times, "You are a good player and have unlimited potential, but it does not mean that you can adapt to any tactics. A good player needs good tactics to be able to set off, don't think that you are a defender and ignore the significance of tactics, the significance of tactics is very important. ”

Of course, Palmery knows that tactics are of great significance, and he also knows that Martins' words are very valuable: as a person who has been a scouting director before, he has seen more player information than normal people imagine, such a person, when choosing a team for his players, is definitely not as simple as looking at which team has good results and which team gives more money. He has many, many things to think about.

People will always think that the agent's job is easy - sign the player, then find the team to sign, sign, stamp, 10% of the time. However, where is the real process so simple? As a good agent, you can't always look at who's famous, just let the players go, the players who have suffered this kind of loss, it can be said that there are countless team championships, players sit on the bench, what's the point? For the team, the championship is amazing, for the individual player, the championship does not mean everything, the appearance rate is also very important, to choose a player who is most suitable for himself among the multiple offer teams, the team that can make his team grow the most, this alone, how many people have to be stumped?

"The performance of the players has a lot to do with the tactical arrangement. The best example of this is Andrea Pirlo, who played in the midfield before arriving in Milan and turned around and took off as soon as he arrived in Milan. Shepchenko is a striker, Cannavaro is a defender, he has been killed by tactics, if you choose the wrong one, the strength can't be played, you will play as badly as them, or even worse than them, because you are still on the rise, if the level is not long, no one can save you. ”

Martins has analysed this and told him how to think about his selection.

'Defenders are a very important position, you can't be so casual. You have to know that some defenders are not at a high level, and they can be made up for by tactics, so that people can't see that there is a problem with the level, and some defenders are at a very high level, but they choose the wrong team, and they can't play virtuous for a lifetime. The former is like Terry, his ability to predict headers, has a very big problem, 02, 04, 06 three major tournaments, England all conceded because of his header problems, but when you were in the club, how have you ever seen Terry's header bad? With tactical cover, he was able to cover the past. The latter chose the wrong team, such as Ayala, who is definitely in the top three in Argentina in terms of level alone, but who still mentions him now? That's the problem of making the wrong choice. Even the top defenders have a problem of choice. If you take a closer look, when Cannavaro plays left-back, he never plays well, his backfoot skills are not good enough, there are loopholes when he plays the ball on the left center-back, he has to play the ball on the right center-back, and Vidic's step adjustment when defending is obviously problematic, so he is blown up by Torres again and again. You are the same, you are not completely perfect, your frontal defense is strong, fast, good headers, and skills are okay, which are all benefits, but your defensive actions are not good enough, which comes from your prediction of the opponent's offensive intentions There will always be some miscalculations, there are very few people who can cause you trouble in Serie A now, but when you meet a small striker of the South American school, you will suffer a lot, I think it is best to consider going to the Premier League, where the penalty scale will help you. And I'm going to have to pick you a good partner who can help you, a partner who really competes - I can't always find you an England defender as a partner, those rice buckets don't even know what a pinch is, and to partner you is doing you a disservice, and your partner may kill you. ”

The agent has always said that he does not have to worry, but Palmeri knows that there are many teams interested in him now, and how to choose is a big problem. What a player needs to be in a good team, to have enough playing time, to have enough guidance, these things, nothing can be achieved without these things. A person's smooth development is inseparable from the environment, Samuel played a mess at Real Madrid, but he is a top player in Serie A, and this has a lot to do with it.

"You go and rest by yourself, you just finished playing the Club World Cup, you must be quite tired, the psychological pressure on you from the fans is not small, find a place, go relax by yourself, transfer matters, I will help you pay attention, you can rest assured, there must be a suitable place for you."

Under the appeasement of his agent, he chose to rest in winter. However, in all fairness, this is not a good idea, even if he leaves Parma and enjoys his holidays in France, he is always thinking about his affairs in the team, it is difficult to calm down, the winter transfer period has begun, but where will he go in the future? He was completely at a loss.

"Orlando, what are you thinking? You're not in the team now, and it's better for yourself to think less about your work, isn't it? ”

Some soft voices sounded behind him, which also made Palmeri turn his head: since it is a tourist vacation, naturally it is impossible to ignore some enjoyment, and these enjoyments naturally include many aspects.

"I didn't think about those things in the first place, who would think about those things when they look at your beautiful face......

Before the flirtatious words were finished, the phone was already ringing. Palmeri took the phone, and on the other end of the line, Martins' voice had already arrived, "Orlando, good news!" Tottenham are buying in centre-backs! You might be playing under Lee! Hurry up to England, come straight to London, we have the best options now! ”

Li Bin? Palmeri's eyes lit up suddenly.

This is the best choice, if he returns to Li Bin's hands, he will definitely know how to use his own. With a good coach like Li Bin and a coach like Esposito who raised himself since childhood, he will definitely be able to play well!

"Orlando! What are you doing in a hurry? The woman behind her was still talking, but Palmeri had already turned her head, "I really have to think about work now......

"You just said I'm beautiful, you don't want to think about anything else!"

"That's true, you're beautiful," Palmeri replied with a grin, "but if I succeed this time, the football I play will be even more beautiful." That kind of beauty is beyond the reach of anything! ”
