Li Bin really couldn't imagine that he said goodbye to Wan Qi, and soon after he walked to his office, he ushered in his first trouble.

"Today is really a good day for compatriots to meet." Looking at Li Siman in front of him, Li Bin greeted him with some surprise, "Reporter Li, is there anything wrong?" ”

"I'm looking for your trouble." Li Siman who came this time was all obviously unhappy with the words written on his face, "You guy, you are going too far." The last time I interviewed you, you said you wanted to be the coach of the team, but you really did it that quickly. I have credit for becoming the head coach, you don't even want to give me some news material immediately, it's too shameful! ”

Hearing her words, Li Bin realized that she was here for an interview, and listening to the tone of her voice also gave Li Bin some understanding, as if, he has become a news figure now?

"You're in Italy, there's nothing to say here in Italy, and there are a lot of domestic newspapers that report your news! It's Parma, it's a Serie A team. Do you know how many old Serie A fans there are in China, and the domestic media are very excited when they hear that there is a Chinese head coach in Serie A. Li Siman told Li Bin about the domestic media report, and Li Siman was also a little proud when he said these words, "Later, they also specially asked to write a manuscript about you here, some of which I wrote and some of which were written by Sister Shen, and they all blew you very well." Now they're all synonymous with inspirational in football, and it's been a decade to climb into the coaching position little by little, which is very inspirational. ”

"So, you're here to write inspirational stories?" Li Bin asked rhetorically.

"I don't mean that. I also thought, this kind of story doesn't mean much, and if I want to write it, I have to write a really good story. I'm going to do an interview with you and then go back and write a script, what I need now is the real inside story of Parma, how about an interview? ”

After thinking for a while, Li Bin also nodded.

"So let's start with that, you need to be relegated. If you want to be relegated, you'll need to accumulate 28-30 points over 22 rounds, which means you'll need to win 10 games to win. As far as I know, a 50% win rate is quite high for a coach, do you have that confidence? ”

A 50% win rate is actually a level that only the best coaches have. Generally speaking, even the best coach has a win rate of around 50%-60%. With a win rate of 50%, it can basically be determined that in a season of 38 games, you can accumulate about 60 points, which is enough to compete for a Champions League place under normal circumstances, which does not seem difficult, but in fact it is not easy.

And if it reaches 60%, it is very few. A 60% win rate, which means that you can get at least 70 points every season, there are not many such coaches, and the winning rate of Ferguson's coaching career in the Premier League is only more than 60%, which is not easy to get.

And now Parma, with only two wins in 16 games, has a terrible low win rate, and it is indeed extremely difficult to bring such a team out with a 50% win rate.

"But we don't need a 50% win rate." "It's true that we need 40 points to avoid relegation, but to reach that point, we don't need so many 10-game wins. In fact, we only need seven wins, and then eight or nine draws, and we can probably guarantee relegation. ”

"Seven wins, eight or nine draws?" Li Siman asked rhetorically, "That's about fifteen or sixteen games, and you can't lose?" Do you have this confidence? ”

"Yes." Li Bin said, "Our lineup has been changed to a back three, under the football system of three backs, the defense can be strengthened, if supplemented by a good back and wingbacks who can run back and forth, we can ensure the best defense." I think with a good backline like that, we can guarantee that we don't concede many goals. On the attacking line, we have Gilardino and if he can play well, it is possible for us to secure less than ten wins. We don't ask for much, if it's just for the purpose of relegation, we still don't have a problem. ”

As a coach, you have to have a long-term plan for the battle. Look at how many good and bad opponents there are this season, and you should always do it. Parma have played sixteen games and have already played half of the league, with only Juventus, Siena and Lecce not playing in the first round against them. Juventus is certainly a difficult bone to gnaw, but Siena and Lecce are both very good opponents, which is also what gives Li Bin some confidence.

Moreover, Parma's second round of matches against Milan is closely related to the Champions League game, Li Bin knows very well that this year's Milan will go far in the Champions League, and at that time, if Li Bin blindly sticks to it, Milan is afraid that he will not compete with him. And the second round of the game with Juventus is already the end of the season, but I am afraid that at that time, Juventus may win the championship in advance, and it is also possible to let Parma go.

In the second half of the season, the difficult games were the first leg against Juventus, the match against Inter Milan, and then Roma and Udinese were added. Even if it is full of calculations and losing five or six games, it is about the same, so Li Bin is still full of confidence in relegation.

And his words, Li Siman immediately understood, "You mean that you still have a longer-term goal?" What is it? Don't tell me I'm a champion. ”

Of course that's impossible, Li Bin laughed. I only scored 10 points in half a season, and even if I won all the rest of the games, it was only 78 points, and I couldn't even reach 80 points. The title competition in Serie A has to be about 85 points, how can Parma win the championship? When he says this, it's not domineering, it's that the math teacher died early.

However, if you can't win the Serie A title, it doesn't mean that you can't fight for anything else.

"My hope is to get a European place in Serie A and at the same time, play better in the UEFA Cup."

The European quota in Serie A is about 50 points. Parma now only have 12 points, and if they want to get a European place, they have to get 40 points, and 40 points in 22 rounds, Li Bin feels that there is still a fight. And if it is a higher pursuit, if you want to qualify for the Champions League, you have to get 50 points in 22 rounds, Li Bin feels that it is still a little hanging, so he doesn't talk too much. In the same way, in the UEFA Cup, he also thinks that it is possible to bet, after all, in the UEFA Cup, there are still fewer decent opponents, and if they are more serious, Parma may be able to make some gains.

The point is also that for every round played in the League Cup, there is a round of prize money. Although it is said that winning the championship is only a prize of about 7 million, it is good to be able to get some money.

Moreover, Li Bin still has a sentence that he puts in his stomach and can't say it to others. Mourinho won the UEFA Cup in '03 and the Champions League in '04, Benitez won the UEFA Cup in '04 and the Champions League in '05. Relying on these two guys, the League Cup champion coach also has a bit of something to look forward to, so Li Bin also feels that if he wins this championship, it will still be beneficial to his coaching career.

And Li Bin set his goal of coaching this season because of this.

"The League Cup and European places, this is a big goal, and it is a relegation team...... Are you sure you can? ”

"It's just a goal, and I'm not saying it's going to be achieved. Football is round, and anything can happen. "Li Bin won't talk dead.

"However, you dare to set such a goal, you also rely on it, right?" Li Siman continued. Although it is just a goal, Li Siman also knows that Li Bin's mind is relatively meticulous after all, and if he doesn't have the slightest confidence, he can't say that.

"What do you rely on, the biggest reliance in football games is just strength, but it's just training well, arranging carefully, and playing carefully."

Li Bin's attitude made Li Siman a little dissatisfied, but at this time, she also raised a new question, "So, can I take a look at your training ground?" I'd love to know if you have any special training methods that will allow the players to play well. ”

"If you train...... It's okay, today is Wednesday, and the main training is one-on-one, but it's also a bit interesting. Li Bin thought about it and introduced it to Li Siman.

"Is there a different training on a different day?"

"Yes, generally speaking, the team's training is arranged according to the schedule, if it is a game a week, then, generally Tuesday is the heaviest high-intensity training, Wednesday is one-on-one, Thursday is some small intensity functional recovery training, and on Friday, it is generally a small game - the rationality of training can greatly avoid the injury of the players. This kind of micro-cycle training originated in the Netherlands, and we are still using it today. ”

"Is it the responsibility of the coaches to arrange the training for the players and keep track of their training status?"

"No, we don't care about the training status, we are just responsible for assigning the training tasks, and then their training status is monitored through the equipment and software. It is mainly monitored for their maximum oxygen uptake and maximum heart rate intensity...... What kind of eyes do you have? We spend millions of euros a year on training, so you don't think we spend all that money on paying our coaches, do you? ”

"I'm just amazed at the high technology."

"Yes, the progress of science and technology is indeed an important condition for the development of football. For example, Parma is now accustomed to practicing 90-95% maximum heart rate intensity training for a long period of time in physical training, which would have been unthinkable in previous times. "That's also an important condition for us to be able to win, we have a very good training system, and with this time, we can make the players very good." ”

"I'm looking forward to it." Li Siman nodded, but her eyes were also aimed at the training ground, but the first time she saw the field, her eyes changed, "Am I wrong?" They're not playing football at all, they're ......"

"Playing baseball?" Li Bin smiled, "No, of course not, they are indeed doing football training, this is real football training." ”

On the training ground, five or six players were training, each of them had a soccer ball under their feet, and they were still running with the ball, but surprisingly, they were not passing, and in their hands, everyone was wearing a baseball glove, and they were constantly passing and receiving baseballs.

"What the hell is going on?" Li Siman turned his head with a look of disbelief.
