When Moggie walked on his own dead end step by step without realizing it, in Parma, Li Bin was also worried about the team's competition in the second half of the season.

Until February, Yaya Toure had not returned from Africa. In normal times, the players of the Africa Cup of Nations would not be delayed for so long, but this time, Ivory Coast relied on the Toure brothers and Drogba, three world-class stars, to pass all the way, with excellent results, which also made Li Bin scratch his ears and cheeks in Italy.

Now he realizes why no one likes African players anymore. The biennial Africa Cup of Nations is indeed a torturous affair. The Africa Cup of Nations will not be played until February 13, which means that it will not be possible until three more rounds, two Coppa Italia and the start of the Confederations Cup before Yaya Toure can return, which is indeed a long time. Especially when the team wants to play on multiple fronts, it is a headache to have a key player who has been away for a long time and needs to miss six games.

Knowing that this was the case, Yaya Toure let Yaya Toure learn from Chelsea's Essien, and declared that he was injured - this kind of thing, many teams have done, let the players declare that they are injured, avoid the national team game, and then when the club needs it, they will claim to be injured on the field, and they can also pretend to be tough guys. In this regard, Li Bin was still a little timid and didn't dare to handle it according to the rules, but now, it's his turn to have a headache.

And at this time, February arrived, and the third-line operation began. And in the three-front battle, which is the most important, is also his problem.

As for the question of how to adjust the focus, after thinking about it, he also decided to be the first in the league, the second in the League Cup, and the last is the strategic focus of the Italian Cup.

There is a reason for this: the league championship has the greatest honor, the most famous, in any way, it is the most important championship, and this year's opportunity is a good opportunity that comes once in a century - Juventus's relegation is definitely a once-in-a-century opportunity - such an opportunity must be fought for.

And the League Cup involves the problem of points when playing in the Champions League next season, if you want to avoid the group of death, it is best to brush up the points - Li Bin doesn't want to be like Mancini, a good hand of cards every year to qualify from the group and complain about the poor grouping - to plan ahead, ready in advance, is his style.

As for the Coppa Italia...... There is really nothing to fight for in this cup championship. First, the honor is limited, and secondly, the schedule is stinky and long, the games are one after another, and many of them are tough battles, so Li Bin can also avoid this.

This time, however, Udinese was an opponent that there was no need to avoid. And Li Bin also thought about trying at this time, whether his team could try to fight on multiple fronts.

In the Coppa Italia, each round is decided over two legs, including the final. And his schedule is chaotic, because the Serie A teams, the next twelve teams, start from the third round, and the top eight teams, start from the round of 16. Parma are already in the quarter-finals and have six games to play before they can decide whether to win or not, which is a long schedule.

And now, their opponent is Udinese. Udinese were one of the two teams to beat Parma in the first half of the season, but Parma had no trouble coming into this one, beating them comfortably to pick up a 3-1 win at home and set themselves up for promotion.

And immediately after that, they met Roma in the league.

This game, compared to the game in the first half of the season, Parma's situation is much worse. Parma's side rested both Tacinadi and Rui for the long-distance race, and coupled with Parma's current fatigue, the game was not very satisfactory.

Shortly after the break, Roma found a flaw in Parma and seized on the problem to score a goal from Roberto Mancini Jr.

Then, although Parma immediately set off a counterattack, and soon, Milito broke through the door of Roma again with a long-range shot, but, in the second half, Totti scored again, which also made Parma almost lose, if it was not for the equalizer scored by Quagliarella, who came on as a substitute at the last moment, Parma would have lost again.

However, at the very end of the game, another thing happened that Li Bin couldn't accept. In the match, a tackle by De Rossi brought down Rui Costa, who was clearly injured. After the game, the results of the team doctor's examination made Li Bin feel even more unacceptable.

"Suspended for three months."

Trimester? Three months out of injury from February, that's until the end of the season, okay? And now that the transfer window has just closed, the Africa Cup of Nations has not returned, I don't have enough manpower in my hands, and someone has been injured for three months?

That's just playing with me, right?

"Find the best expert, no matter what, heal his injuries as soon as possible!"

In a 2-2 match, Parma ended the match against Roma. This was followed by a 2-1 win over Udinese in the Coppa Italia and a 2-1 win over Parma in the league.

This time, Li Bin was convinced. Because of the lack of people in the midfield, Nocerino had to be on top, but Nocerino's strength was too poor to cope with such a major situation. Parma's midfield advantage was lost early, and as a result, they were cut to pieces by Juventus throughout the game, and at the end of the game, Melo was fouled red because he couldn't control his emotions, and Parma lost this game.

"Three-front warfare, it's really difficult for us."

This time, after the game, Li Bin also sighed. It wasn't until the team's personnel were stretched thin that I thought about the team's shortcomings, which was really my own problem. It seems that he has not led a wealthy family and has no experience in multi-front combat, and these problems cannot be made up for by talent at all.

"It seems that it is still a little difficult to fight on three fronts." For such a result, Esposito also sighed, "Otherwise, don't try to fight on three fronts again?" If we want to qualify for the Champions League, we still have to focus on the league, and if we continue to fight on such three fronts, our players will not adapt to it, and it is likely that there will be problems. ”

There is a big difference between a single-line operation and a two-front operation. This is not only the reason why you are particularly tired after playing two games, but the biggest problem is that the physical consumption is very large, and when you train, the training method changes a lot. Generally speaking, the training method of small teams is micro-cycle, a micro-cycle training is five days, on Monday when the game is just over, a day off, Tuesday one-on-one contact, Wednesday to practice physical strength, Thursday is a group training, Friday to play a small game, Saturday to do preparatory exercises, and then it is Sunday's game.

And if it's a double game a week, then the training method has to change a lot. It's not enough to have a midweek game and then a physical training session on Wednesday because there are more games to prepare for and deal with, so the training of the players has to be changed. Generally speaking, the time of the microcycle is shorter, and if there is rotation, different players can also cope with the training of different days, but for small teams, one is inexperienced, the other is insufficient personnel, and the third is that the coach is also insufficient, so naturally it is greatly restricted in this process. The training mode has been modified, which has a great impact on the players, which is also the reason why many small teams can't play well when they first arrive in the Champions League - the training mode has been changed from scratch, how can the players play?

"No, it has to be." Li Bin thought about it, although he had a momentary heartbeat, he still shook his head, "If you have the Champions League qualification, but you can't play the Champions League, what's the difference between not being qualified and not qualifying?" If you don't know how to fight, you can try to learn, but you can't hold back like that. If you feel that the training task is too tight, I will help you, I really don't want to expand the coaching team, but it is not possible to put down the third-line battle. ”

Although Li Bin attaches great importance to this year's league, he also knows that he can't think of backing down because of a little trouble. If you can't practice two-front combat, what's the use of going to the Champions League? Is it glorious to be humiliated in the Champions League?

"I doubt you're going to gamble your future with the team, are you?"

"What do you say?" On Esposito's question, Li Bin only asked a rhetorical question.

Esposito wanted to say something, but after opening his mouth three more times, he stomped his foot and turned away.

The current Parma, without a win in two rounds, was overtaken by Milan and Inter. Although it is said that after Inter Milan lost to Juventus, they also had some small fluctuations, making them not much ahead of Parma, but, after all, Parma still fell to the fourth place, and the top three in the north returned to the top three positions at this time, and Esposito was still a little unwilling in his heart.

However, no matter how unwilling you are, you have to kick like this. Moreover, Li Bin also firmly believes that his team can adapt to the two-front battle.

The players are good and they are all very aggressive, and if it doesn't work anymore, it's a problem with the coach.

You can't back down at this time. Li Bin knew that as long as his team found the rhythm it should have, trained, and the rhythm of the game began to get on the right track, then it would be impossible to have much impact on his team by fighting on two fronts. However, if you hesitate, retreat, and compromise for the sake of results, then Parma, who have not developed this habit, will not be able to get good results in next year's European competition.

Even if the players are tired, they have to persevere.

"Guys, I know you're all tired right now, I know you're not used to this rhythm of two games a week, but you have to remember that this kind of game is a learning process as a big player. You all have the potential to be a big club, and that's why I'm going to let you play like that. Believe me, if it goes on like this, there will be only good and no harm for you! ”

In the locker room, Li Bin also cheered up the players. He knew that at this time, what needed to be given to them was the determination to persevere

In the next game, they won the league against Ascoli. The opponent was not strong after all, and it also gave Parma a moment of respite.

At this time, in Europe, they also need to travel to the Netherlands to play the UEFA Cup against Heerenveen. In the Netherlands, they played Heerenveen in a 1-1 draw. Immediately afterwards, after retreating to Italy, Parma failed to win against Fiorentina.

"Perhaps, the magic of Parma, it's time to fade. As a small team, it is not easy to persist until now. ”

At this time, the media have expressed their opinions, but at this time, the Parma team also ushered in a good news.

Yaya Toure is back from Africa, and Parma doesn't have to worry about running out of manpower. Now, the time has come for them to exert their strength.

What makes Li Bin even happier is that Yaya Toure brought back a trophy for the Africa Cup of Nations - Ivory Coast defeated Cameroon and won the Africa Cup of Nations.

In his memory, Ivory Coast has never won the Africa Cup of Nations - although Li Bin does not know who the winner of each Africa Cup of Nations is, but he remembers that Drogba does not seem to have a single Africa Cup of Nations. But now, Ivory Coast has won the Africa Cup of Nations. Moreover, Li Bin quickly learned that it was Yaya Toure's goal in the final that defeated Cameroon and won the Africa Cup of Nations for Ivory Coast.

It seems that his own efforts can really change many things in his memory - this also makes Li Bin more determined to go on his own path no matter what!
