While Parma was preparing for the game, the Italian football media was gradually becoming active, and what they did at this time was naturally to evaluate transfers and predict the ranking of the new season.

"This season, Milan has done the best."

On the TV show, transfer experts do their assessments. These people have retired players, coaches who are not working now, and some agents, or former team managers or something, all of whom can be regarded as industry insiders, and their evaluations can be called decent.

Milan bought last season's Serie A Golden Boot, Gilardino, one of Italy's best goalscorers. And the arrival of this player will make Milan's frontcourt have a better strength. Last season, we all saw how perfectly Shepchenko and Crespo worked together, and now that Milan have a younger, better Gilardino for their future. Milan spent 30 million to complete the deal, and it was well spent. ”

Milan's transfer is highly praised, and it also brought some smiles to Li Bin when he saw the comments: At least until now, no one has been able to be positive, Milan is losing money.

"The Juventus deal is a bit of a stroke of genius. They made a surprise purchase of Patrick Vieira, which gave their midfield a further boost to victory. Patrick Vieira's quality is evident and his midfield combination with Emerson will be the best in Italy. ”

Li Bin is also convinced of this, Juventus's deal may not be correct, but this trick is indeed quite beautiful.

"And Inter Milan's reinforcements are mostly tinkering. But they really didn't spend much money, and the team did get reinforcements, and from this point of view, Inter Milan's strength can be improved a lot. ”

Inter Milan's transfer is underestimated a lot. Li Bin said in his heart. Inter Milan has several transfers now, Cesar, Figo, Veron, this is the season that has laid the main squad of Inter Milan in the next few years, and these players, which one of them are amazing.

And next year, with the introduction of McCone and Ibrahimovic, they will form the main squad of Inter Milan who have won five consecutive championships. At that point, they're really hard to deal with.

And on TV, soon, Parma's transfer also became the object of comment.

"Parma sold a Golden Boot and a substitute-level defender for the national team this season, so to speak, their loss is huge. Although they brought in Rui Costa and Tacinadi, they were still a lot weaker after all. They brought in three young players in one go, Zabaleta, Agger and Arshavin, these three players, it is still worth looking forward to. Especially Zabaleta, in the just-concluded World Youth Championships, as the captain of Argentina, he played well, especially in the game against Brazil, contributed to the Argentine team, this player, is very worth looking forward to. ”

There are not many players who can see Parma who have more potential.

The current Parma, the most famous, is Rossi and Zabaleta, after all, the background of a football powerhouse is still very eye-catching. And Li Bin is more interested in Toure, Arshavin, Ag and others, so far, no one can see their future excellence.

Because I can't see the strength of these players from small leagues, the current Parma is also underestimated a lot. In the assessment of Serie A experts, they also believe that in the new season, Parma's greatest possibility is to lose the European place in Serie A.

Li Bin was also too lazy to care about these comments, and even he was a little happy, after all, underestimating Parma and not caring for Parma would help Parma win. After all, it is not so easy to be targeted.

However, there are indeed a lot of comments about Parma. After all, for Parma, they are the first team in the whole of Serie A to face a strong opponent when summer comes.

With the arrival of the end of August, Parma finally ushered in the first important game of the season.

This UEFA Super Cup match was played between Parma and Liverpool. Last season, the Italians argued for a long time that this match could become a civil war between Parma and Milan, but now, they have to admit that the game against Milan in Istanbul has put that dream to an end.

And in this game, Liverpool, as the champion of the Champions League, was naturally unanimously optimistic before the game - after all, the Champions League champion and the League Cup champion played, no matter how you look at it, the Champions League champion is stained. Although Liverpool last season can be said to be a dark horse team, after all, the League Cup champion is already a somewhat chicken champion, even if it is a dark horse Champions League champion, when it meets the League Cup champion, it will be very bright.

This is also the unanimous opinion of the media, whether it is the Italian media or the English media, they all look down on Parma in the same way.

"We all know that this year, Liverpool and Serie A teams, Juventus and Milan, have played each other. And they won against Juventus and Inter Milan. AC Milan's defeat aside, Ancelotti's mistake caused a speechless game. And the defeat of Juventus illustrates the gap between Serie A and the Premier League. The rhythm of Premier League players, impact, and header ability are much stronger than Parma, and such a gap is very difficult to make up, even if it is the top three in the north, it is impossible to gain an advantage in the face of Premier League teams, and Parma has only added a Rui Costa after a large number of personnel losses this year, how can it fight against Liverpool's strength? That's a big problem. ”

For a long time, English football has been relatively restrained by Italian football. After all, the two problems of heading and physical confrontation have always been the chronic problems of Italian football, and in these two aspects, England has the advantage. Although there are many problems in English football, their backline is prone to loopholes, and because the pace is too fast, it is easy to get out of touch and easy to be defeated, but obviously, Serie A's ability to grasp the rhythm and counterattack is not very strong, which makes Serie A meet the Premier League, it is easy to suffer, and after Juventus and Milan have lost so much, Parma will touch Liverpool again, which is naturally no wonder others are pessimistic.

The media in Serie A are quite pessimistic. Although Serie A has always despised the Premier League for not having any skills, they can also realize how big the gap between Liverpool and Parma in the Premier League, which is the G14.

No matter how bad Liverpool is, they still have Gerrard and Alonso, two top midfielders, and they also have a first-class European backline composed of Hyypia, Reese, Finnan, and Carragher, and this summer, they just bought Reyna as a goalkeeper, and the forward line has also supplemented Crouch and Cenden, and the strength has also increased a lot.

In contrast, Parma's reputation is too bad, so people are naturally not optimistic about Parma in their showdown.

'It's time for Liverpool to fight for their third UEFA Super Cup, and it's time for the Premier League to reverse years of weakness in Serie A. The games against Juventus and AC Milan have shown Serie A the strength of Premier League players, and now, it is time to use a European Super Cup to let Serie A know that English football has completely surpassed Italy! ”

Compared with Italy's pessimism, the English media can even be called arrogant. Yes, the first and second in Serie A are both sluggish, so how can a Serie A seventh-place beat Liverpool?

'Parma are a very good team, they won the UEFA Cup, they are very good and we will be careful of them......

When interviewed, Benitez spoke quite tactfully and did not say anything too rampant, but it could be heard that in his words, there was not much emphasis on Parma.

Indeed, after all, this is the winner of the League Cup, and besides, with a round of main players sold, it is natural for others to look down on Parma.

Especially after the friendly match between Parma and Milan, the perception was even less optimistic. This friendly match was Parma's last friendly match this summer, and Milan was invited to participate, which was also completed by Gilardino's transfer. In this game, although Parma and Milan played equally, Parma was not able to find too good opportunities. Milan are strong right now, after all, and when they don't show their flaws, Parma can't win.

It was a 1-1 match in which neither side got a bargain. Considering Milan's loss to Liverpool, people are even more optimistic about Parma's performance in the European Super Cup.

But after this game, Ancelotti said something that surprised the media in an interview.

"I personally think that the current Parma should not suffer too much if they play Liverpool." Although Ancelotti was smiling when he spoke, he obviously had the meaning of watching the excitement, "After seeing Parma's strength and style of play, I also believe that Italian football is still stronger than England, and Liverpool playing Parma is not necessarily a must-win." ”

This is very surprising: Liverpool has even passed Juventus and Milan, could it be said that Parma is a hidden monster in Serie A?

These words made Li Bin grit his teeth a little: I originally planned to plot against Liverpool in a low-key manner, but if you talk like this, how can I plot against Liverpool? Why are you saying this without anything?

'The Premier League teams are all very strong teams, Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, they are all very strong teams, they are all very good, they are all respectable. When Li Bin was interviewed, he also said, "Liverpool's central axis is very strong, and their header ability is very good, but headers and fouls are the way that only weak teams like to play, and our football is different from theirs." ”

Externally, Li Bin doesn't like to always make trouble, but since he can't hide it, he doesn't care about loudly announcing that his goal is to win - of course, at the same time, he has to mislead his opponent a little.

"That's right," Ancelotti was still smiling when he called Li Bin to apologize, "Your tactics are basically prepared for them, what are you embarrassed to say?" Milan's revenge, you must avenge it. ”

Ancelotti was hoping to get himself angry with him...... Li Bin smiled bitterly at this, being yin by this guy. However, if that's the case, let's have a good game.

'Against Milan, 54 per cent possession, 79 per cent pass completion and 8 ......shots on goal Given the situation, we have what it takes to play against a team at this level. ”

Esposito's statistics are a source of confidence for Li Bin, and this time against Liverpool, he must win.

"Juventus lost, Milan lost, but that doesn't mean we at Parma will lose." In the locker room, Li Bin also said to the players, "Capello's coward, how many years to play in the Champions League, you all know it, and Ancelotti's wastewood, good advantages can be played into a mess." When they played for Serie A, they had already lost a lot of people to Serie A. So, let's tell the English, Italian football, how to play! ”
