Parma had been training for about a month, and by mid-July, they were ready to race.

Parma because of the League Cup, next year's League Cup, also skipped the qualifiers, directly from the group stage before the play-offs, the League Cup generally starts later than the Champions Cup, the League Cup play-off matches, also need to be played on September 15, and before that, Parma does not have too many game tasks for the time being, in addition to the league that started in September, Parma is also a European Super Cup match with Liverpool to play.

This honor is not particularly remarkable for Parma, Parma has won the UEFA Super Cup once in its history, when it was in 1994, Parma played the UEFA Super Cup as the Cup Winners' Cup champion and AC Milan, the runner-up of the UEFA Champions Cup. And because before 2000, the UEFA Super Cup was played by the Champions League and Cup Winners' Cup winners, and Parma only won the Cup Winners' Cup once, so Parma only played such a Super Cup. Although this is the third time Parma have won the UEFA Cup, it is the first time they have won the Super Cup.

Parma doesn't care much about this honor, but Li Bin attaches great importance to it. Although for many giant teams, the UEFA Super Cup is at most a high-level warm-up match, but after all, this is a game with the Champions League champion, and the attention is very high, and winning such a game is very important to Li Bin.

But this one is really not easy to win.

For a long time, the style of European football, England has been relatively restrained against Italy. England's speed, confrontation, tempo, header dominance are all Italy's weaknesses. Sometimes, it is clear that the Italian team is much stronger than the English team, but because of this tactic, there are local shortcomings, and if the English team grabs and beats it, it will be defeated by the English team. The most famous example is the Istanbul that has just passed, Ancelotti is another classic that has been disgraced and thrown home, a classic of reversal matches that will not be forgotten by too many teenagers.

Moreover, many people ignore that Liverpool has also had two games against Juventus before, and they also have the advantage, although they use substitute goalkeepers, but they still eliminated Juventus. Serie A teams have always had the weakness of the Premier League teams, and one header and one rhythm are enough for the English team to take advantage of it, and the record against Serie A has always been good - and this is still under the premise of Milan's good record against Manchester United and Arsenal, if there is no such big score, the results are simply miserable.

But fortunately, Parma's opponent Liverpool cannot be regarded as the strongest team in the Premier League. Although Li Bin knows better than others, the future strength of this team will be exceptional, although it is very embarrassing in the league, but it has broken through again and again in European competitions, but in terms of comprehensive strength, they are indeed relatively weak in the Premier League.

Therefore, Li Bin also thought that in this game, win Liverpool and add a championship to his honor book.

And for this game at the end of August, in this month and a half, he also arranged four games.

The friendly match is nothing more than a few items. The tacit understanding of your own team, whether the tactics are easy to use, whether your ideal tactics can be combined, and whether they can all reflect the strength of the opponents of different levels - of course, the purpose of some teams is to make money, that's another story. As for Parma, because what Parma wants is the results of the league, Li Bin is also considering more and slightly weaker teams to see if his team can have enough strength to play well in the league. There is no strong opponent in the League Cup, and secondly, it is not the focus of Li Bin's consideration, so he did not arrange more confrontations with strong teams.

Of course, this is also because Parma's team is still a little smaller after all, and people are not reluctant to play with big teams. In Li Bin's arrangement, although he tried his best to select some suitable teams, in order to help the team.

Playing a few more games, playing against different opponents and speculating on their tactical shortcomings is what Parma need to do in the summer. This summer, Li Bin didn't have any idea of making money, he just wanted the team to play more and play better. Making money or something, it's not something he's thinking about. After all, the team has just sold people and re-kneaded, at this time, if you are not careful, it will be a catastrophe, where is there time to think about making money?

Balaldi had no objection to this - Parma sold a lot of people in the summer, and not only this year, but also in the years before. In the first half of last season, Parma was almost relegated, and Balardi also learned a lesson, and now he doesn't dare to let the team rush into the next season, and he agreed to Li Bin's arrangement.

Their first opponent was Napoli. As a Serie C team, this is Parma's first opponent.

This opponent has a little bit of friendship in it. Napoli's strength cannot be compared with Parma after all. Their strength is more than a step worse than Parma, playing the Serie C team, Parma can be said to be more performative. However, when it comes to playing, you also have to see how Parma's tactics are.

In the game, the two sides quickly showed a one-sided situation, and Parma controlled the game well after the opening period.

This formation has finally gained a bit of the momentum of a giant......

The opponent is not strong enough, and it is a friendly match, so in such a game, Li Bin naturally will not pay attention to the winning and losing scores. He watched more about the football situation, and wanted to see if he could control the scene and play a bit of the heroic situation.

What is the grandeur of a wealthy family? In fact, to put it simply, it is to be able to control the ball, pass out, be able to press, when passing, it is in the opponent's half, and the game can flow in the opponent's penalty area, so that the opponent is powerless to fight.

This kind of thing is very simple to say, but it is not easy to do. After all, the confrontation on the football field is very fierce, in the opponent's half, there are naturally many people on the other side, and when the players in the front court get the ball, they will always face the siege of more than two people, and it is naturally not easy to control the ball. This kind of play requires a relatively high level of skill from the players, and it is much more difficult to play the ball with one or two counterattacks than shrinking in the backcourt.

However, this style of play does have advantages and benefits. After all, playing like this, there are more opportunities, and the scene is better.

Fans who watch the game, I'm afraid that few people like to watch the backcourt defend and then sneak attack one, although many people say that as long as you win anything, Li Bin still thinks that to win more beautiful, you always have to pursue it.

Your own team may not be a giant, but you can't help but strive for a good situation. From the beginning, I tried to play like a relegation team, and I didn't pay attention to my skills and stalked my opponents, and after I arrived, it was impossible to make the team improve.

In 2010, Inter Milan won the Champions League, but when they turned their heads, it didn't fall apart because the tactics of squatting and defending were not able to improve? Changing six coaches in a row and selling out people can't reverse the decline, not because the Champions League makes them feel that defending is the best way to play, but forgetting that many of their games, even including the last league game against Roma, are not won by defending to the end.

Against the strong team, you can defend to the death, but you always think that you are weak, and this mentality is unacceptable. People may not be strong, but the mentality of a strong person cannot be without.

It's really good, Parma's attack looks a lot better. Because of the Tacinadi drag, Yaya Toure and Melo dare to do more insertions, the range of activity in the front court has increased a lot, which makes Parma's overall formation, pressed forward about 15 meters, the two fullbacks, do not need to consider supporting the middle of every game, they can now move forward more, from 45 ° diagonal passes to lower bottom crosses, and even in the ribs and players to cooperate, they can do some, and this also makes Parma's attacking ability greatly increased, the two wings continue to open the width, With Rossi's running, Parma's attacks are more flexible, and now Parma can pull out more people to participate in the frontcourt attack, and the attack power has also increased a lot.

Moreover, the current Parma, when facing a team of Napoli's level, played very differently than last season. Last season, Parma's rhythm control was a little poor, relying on running and speed to maintain it, but this season, their rhythm control has suddenly improved.

Rui Costa is a great player indeed. Although he never likes to shout when he plays in training, and he doesn't like to make his teammates run according to his instructions, when standing in the midfield, he can rely on the change in his passing rate to control the team very well. This kind of skill is indeed the accumulation of years of passing ability, and it is remarkable to control the whole team in a situation with the right rhythm.

Sometimes, having a player like that is a great help for a coach. Rui Costa is in the team and can let the players know what their best rhythm is, tell them how to do it, how to control the movement, a game, and a game is much more useful than the coach's teaching.

With a rhythm, a lot of movement, and an increase in numbers, Parma have an advantage in possession, and in this way, they completely suppress their opponents and form a situational advantage. In this game, Napoli will not have a chance at all.

Of course, when such an advantage is against a strong team, Li Bin doesn't know if Lu Dao can implement it. After all, the tackling ability of the strong team and the weak team is not the same, not to mention anything else, when encountering Milan, a Gattuso sweep has to press Parma's midfield line back a lot.

However, Parma is now finally showing a good atmosphere. In the future, Parma will play better and better.

In the match with Napoli, Parma won a 4-0 victory, as a friendly match, this game did not attract much attention, but this game was the beginning of the implementation of Li Bin's ideas.

'70 per cent possession, 88 per cent pass completion and 17 shots...... Our team is in control. ”
