Section 266 Take a gamble

After the match with Fiorentina, Li Bin also put his energy into preparing for the match against Milan.

There are five games left in the league, and among the five games, Palermo is the only strong opponent left, but the trouble against them is not very big: Fiorentina is firmly in the fourth position, and Palermo is now in the sixth, although Milan is not very competitive now, and it is not seeking progress at all in the league, but since there is Fiorentina, and there is a direct dialogue between the two teams, it is difficult for Palermo to go further, and the sixth also has the League Cup to play, and they have little idea of competing for the top - They are aware of their quality gap, although Fiorentina and Milan are in fourth and fifth, but they are only in this position after being deducted points, while Palermo has not been deducted points, the reason why they are here is not small in terms of strength.

The remaining games are a bit of a problem: in the last few games, Empoli, Messina and other teams are the favourites to be relegated, and any of them will play desperately. However, if Parma can advance early by the bottom two rounds, then it will also be a good thing for them.

In the match against Fiorentina, Parma didn't expend much energy: Prandelli understood that Li Bin needed points more than him, and he was very decisive in conceding points in the league. Prandelli understands that by letting Parma rest, they will be able to work harder in the Champions League, Milan will have to play more desperately in the Champions League, and the league will be more perfunctory, and Fiorentina will not suffer. And he had a good relationship with Li Bin, there was no disadvantage of Fiorentina, so he didn't fight hard, Parma won the game almost without much effort, not only to ensure that Inter Milan opened up the difference, but also to save physical strength, in the last stage of the season to have this kind of rest, it is also rare.

Li Bin has accumulated some contacts over the years, and these connections are still useful.

Therefore, the game against Milan is now the only question left.

Parma's game, this time it's a home and away fixture. The first game is at the San Siro and the second is at their home stadium. The fixtures are relatively favourable for Parma, with the only thing to worry about is whether Milan will be as difficult to play against as the legend suggests.

Before the game, Li Bin was also making various preparations and preparing for the start of the game.

It's just that although Li Bin started to prepare not late, it is still much worse than Milan. Milan had already announced early that Milanello had started closed training and was fully prepared for the Champions League match.

"Parma are opponents who deserve respect, and playing against them requires serious preparation and serious handling."

In the interview, Ancelotti also expressed the importance he attaches to Parma, and his words are quite friendly.

It's just that they are not polite at all when they prepare for the game. Milan is now hopeless in the league, and they are not even ready to count on the top four, they have to fight for the Champions League, so they are absolutely unwilling to have the slightest mercy, the Champions League title, they are determined to win.

Li Bin didn't comment much on this, and he didn't know whether Milan was really saying good things or stabbing him in the back.

But anyway, the game has to be played. Out of the importance of Milan, Li Bin also made some special arrangements before the game, so when the team arrived at San Siro, they saw Parma's suddenly changed lineup, and even the commentators exclaimed.

"It's hard to imagine that in the Champions League, Parma made a temporary line-up change, they abandoned the 4312 that they played almost a season, and used the 433 formation in this game to face the opponent!"

Standing on the edge of the court, Li Bin was very satisfied with his arrangement: a few days ago, he secretly calculated that Parma's eight achievements were Milan, and since Li Bin met them, he naturally had to prepare a big meal for them. Li Bin has carefully prepared the game for a long time, and he will not lose easily.

Rossi is injured, Parma is now meeting Milan, and then playing two strikers is the real two - Milan's back line is too strong, their defenders are tight and impeccable whether they are one-on-one or organized defenses, if Cavani is allowed to play, he is not delicate enough to break through Milan's defense in terms of technique, and physically he can't suppress those two people, whether it is technique or body, he has no advantage at all, if you talk about consciousness, Li Bin doesn't think anyone can hold down Maldini's 39-year-old monster and Nesta's guy. Letting Cavani appear in the middle is completely self-inflicted, it will not play any role, but will be suppressed by Milan. And if Crespo was allowed to play, Li Bin was worried that Crespo had played in Milan, and the Milan players had experience in how to defend him and did not dare to use him, so he simply changed to a single striker style of play.

This is a bit risky, but Li Bin's arrangement is quite complete.

He made his team set up a 4141 formation: three midfielders at the back, but two central midfielders could be appropriately inserted, and Arshavin and Cavani on the wing were on the two wings in order to press the opponent's side - he wanted to rely on a 4141 formation to suppress Milan.

The formation of 4321 can be suppressed by some formations. Generally speaking, the formation of 4141 and the formation of 4231 can suppress the opponent.

This formation is very suitable for Italy: Serie A's use of the width of the field has not been very good, so the 4321 that mainly attacks the middle is a good way to play. However, 4312 has a natural shortcoming, playing football like this, the utilization rate of the two wings is low, and if you want to use the wing, you have to rely on the defender who can run up and down. And once the defender is suppressed, the insertion on the side will be reduced a lot, without the support of the side, only from the middle of the raid, the power of 4321 will be weakened a lot, if supplemented by the tight defense of the middle, it can play an effective role in interception.

Li Bin himself usually uses 4312, and he is very clear about the weaknesses and strengths of playing like this, so he also made a very suitable arrangement to completely lock up the changes in Milan. No matter how strong Ancello is, the wing is locked, and only Kaka is left to break out, and there will not be many opportunities.

The 4141 formation chosen by Li Bin relies on the cooperation of the midfielder and the wing in the middle to suppress the opponent's side and narrow the formation, making the game a single attack and defense in the middle, and then making every effort to block the opponent's attack in the middle.

Although the strength of Milan's players is very good, but they are old, and the substitutes are also poor, there is only one central corridor of Pirlo and Kaka to walk, and against them, Parma has shrunk the lineup and stuck to the middle, which is the best way in Li Bin's opinion.

And he's done more than that.

"Parma made some different preparations in the game: they used Thuram to rotate Zabaleta as a starter at right-back, which is also a unique move, Coach Li Bin has not done this in the whole season, but in this game, he used such a tactic, what kind of meaning does this have, let's wait and see."

In the last game, Li Bin found that his midfield could be disjointed after being pressed by the opponent, so he also used a new style of play this time. Instead of Zabaleta, who has a better attacking force, he opted for Thuram, who is more defensive, a position where he can better fill in and intercept to block the opponent's attack.

Li Bin was as meticulous as ever in preparing for the game, and he still wanted to rely on this meticulousness to defeat Milan.

This is not the first time Parma have used this line-up, having tried it out two days ago against Palermo. Parma won the game, but the game was not very good-looking: this style of play, it can't be good-looking, but because he won the game, he was more confident to do so.

On the San Siro Stadium, Milan's lineup has not changed much from the last meeting: their players are still the same as before, the only change is that the left-back has been replaced by Jankulovski, and the forward line has to use Inzaghi as a last resort because Ronaldo cannot be used, and the other changes are almost all gone.

It's just that even so, Li Bin didn't dare to take his opponent too lightly: Milan's game, the preparation time is longer than Parma, although Parma has encountered various problems, but at least they still insist on playing in the league, and Milan has even given up the league, these days are practicing playing in Milanelori, and they will only do better to prepare for the game, not worse.

At the door of the players' tunnel, looking at the Milan players facing each other in the tunnel, Li Bin was also a little uneasy: these players can be said to be old arms and legs, but in the Champions League, their strength is extremely outstanding. It's a lot of them who have done something in the Champions League in their last season, and it's their last flash.

Raising his head to look at the full stadium of the San Siro Stadium, Li Bin also sighed in his heart: I am afraid that after arriving, such an attendance rate will be more difficult for Milan. These guys, they put their energy into infighting, always play some tricks, and look at the honor at the end, but after all, the team is getting weaker and weaker, and Milan is getting worse and worse from this year onwards, until it is completely finished.

Parma is very strong, Li Bin has enough confidence in them, but no matter how strong the confidence is, he is also a little uneasy when he meets Milan. Although these old guys are almost living fossils in football, they are still extremely formidable opponents after holding back their strength to play ten games in a season.

It's just that I don't know if their flashes will be able to beat their players. In their memories, they were supposed to be Champions League winners, but now, Parma are in front of them. Li Bin doesn't know which of his team is stronger or weaker than Milan, but since they have reached this point, even if they know that they are not as good as their opponents, can they still admit defeat?

These veterans, just look at their strength, how is it.

"How about I treat you to a meal after the game is over?" Ancelotti, who was also standing at the entrance of the players' tunnel, spoke, "Or the old rule, whoever loses is treated." ”

"You're ready, you want me to pay for it, right?" Li Bin asked rhetorically.

"Who knows, football, who said it well. However, I still have some faith in Milan. Although Ancelotti smiled, he was still a little proud, "Take a gamble." ”

"Okay." Li Bin nodded, "Let's take a gamble, let's see, who wins this game!" ”
