'The players are in good fitness and apart from Rui Costa, who needs to rest due to injury, there are no big problems with the others. In the first two weeks, our players had a short-term lack of fitness and discomfort with the amount of training, but with the persistence of these two weeks and the timely modification of training, there are few problems now. ”

In Li Bin's office, after Wan Qian handed over the report to Li Bin, he also stayed in the office and refused to leave for half a day.

"What's the matter, what do you want to say?" Li Bin saw that Wan Qian's appearance was wrong, and he spoke without raising his head.

"I'm on the youth team side, so I don't know much about this side of things, but I heard you had a fight with Lorenzo?" Wan Qi opened his mouth and asked, "What are you for?" ”

Has the news reached the reserves?

Parma's recent results have been a bit bad, and in order to adapt to the multi-front battle, the team's training has increased, both the training volume of the players and the workload of the coaches have increased greatly, which has also caused some disputes between Esposito and Li Bin - there is no result, and he is tired a lot, which makes him slightly unhappy. It's just that Li Bin didn't expect that so soon, these news had already spread.

'It's not a big deal, it's just a conflict in the way teams train. Contradictions at work, nothing. ”

"For people like you, that's the big contradiction, isn't it? What is it for? ”

"It's not a big deal, the main thing is that he thinks the results are more important now, I think the future is more important, he thinks I don't pay attention to the team, I only think about myself," Li Bin explained their differences, "This matter, after the end ......of the season, we will know the result." If the grades are really bad, I apologize, if the grades are good, he reflects, it's not a big deal. Anyway, I have a clear conscience, if I only think about myself, where would I do this? ”

"I've always thought that every time you have a new idea, you can immediately form a tacit understanding."

"Normally, yes, but there is always a special case to everything."

Li Bin shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Generally speaking, as a coach, when you are looking for an assistant coach for yourself, you are naturally looking for someone who can best understand and implement your own tactical ideas. No one will be fed up, find a person who is completely different from his tactical thinking to be his deputy, and when any coach is looking for a helper, he is looking for someone who knows himself better and understands his purpose.

Li Bin is the same, he and Esposito have known each other for a long time, when he has any ideas, Esposito can help him design training, supervise the players, or follow the same line of thought with him, help him sort out the problem and overcome difficulties. Usually Esposito knows a little bit, not because of how smart and amazing Esposito is, but because of the tacit understanding between the two people for many years, Li Bin's tactical thinking Esposito knows best, and he is also the most familiar with the training mode that Li Bin wants, so he can naturally do his best. But this time, Esposito was a little bit of a bull, which also made Li Bin a little helpless.

"I hope there are not too many contradictions between you, it's not easy for people to have good friends for a lifetime, you have such a good relationship, no matter what it's for, it's not worth quarreling."

Esposito was a very good man, and although he sometimes seemed a little too stubborn, he was indeed a sincere and frank man, and such a friend was quite rare.

"Don't worry, I know how difficult it is to have a friend, and I will cherish it." Li Bin nodded.

Of course, Li Bin knew the value of Esposito's - although he was dissatisfied with Li Bin's ideas, Esposito was still meticulous when he carried out Li Bin's plan. As Li Bin's assistant coach, he is used to having something to say in person, and when there is a disagreement, he can trust Li Bin unconditionally, whether it is such an assistant or a friend, there is a kind of happiness, how can Li Bin not cherish it?

"You can do it yourself, but I doubt that there really is such a thing. Now the Champions League qualification is a matter of no score, you think about how to play in the Champions League next season, is this a little too ......?"

"Thinking too much?"

"I think it's better to start from the present and keep your feet on the ground."

"Down-to-earth, I've never forgotten it. I've always asked my players to train and play hard, and I won't forget that. But down-to-earth, and short-sighted, is not the same thing. It's like...... Have you ever played Go? ”

"I only know the saying that the belly of the gold-edged silver horn grass is in the road."

"That's the basic truth, I said it's a matter of strategic vision. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty Huan Tan's "New Treatise", Go is divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower, and the lower grades are guarded at the corners, tending to the interior - that is, playing slowly in one city and one place, and in football, it is said that one game is counted as one game, and tomorrow's things will be said tomorrow, which is the most tasteless. In football, it is a season-by-season plan. And the top grade, far from its sparseness, put it around the meeting - that is to say, from a lenient point of view, the overall arrangement, in football, is to see your coaching career as a game of chess. The chess pieces are played one by one, but there is no overall view, and you cannot win in chess. And football is the same. Fighting for a city and a place, losing the overall situation, that is the courage of a horseman, not what a coach should do. ”

"We're in a bit of trouble right now, but if it's because I'm competitive and fighting with my opponent in the game, which drains my physical strength, and leads to a meaningless defeat, it's my fault that the coach has no vision and lacks a long-term plan. But not now, we're in transition, we're getting stronger, it's just that in the transition, we suffered a double blow of injuries and the national team at the same time, and we encountered the biggest trouble - but, even so, even so, after this period of time, what else can beat us? ”

"Sounds like you've got a good plan."

"Of course it's good, and I'm sure Lorenzo will understand me very quickly – not just him, but the players, because they're good players." ——

"Diego, it's almost over, today's training is over."

Patting Milito, Esposito interrupted his training with satisfaction. The Argentinian is training harder and harder at the moment, and when he watches him train on the pitch, Esposito always feels that it is a pity that he has not become a superstar.

"Diego, the training is almost over. In the case of double competitions a week, the training volume cannot be increased too much at once, and it is easy to get injured if you suddenly increase the training volume. I've told you, you have to be careful when training now. ”

"Nothing, I think it's okay. The results in this section were so bad that I always felt that I had to work harder. Milito muffled, "I think I'm still a little far behind." ”

"Practicing is not something that happens overnight, and you don't have to fight so hard." Esposito shook his head.

"When you can fight, it's better to fight some." Milito stopped the ball at his feet and silently opened his mouth, "In the past, I always felt that I could take my time, as long as I was steadfast and walked step by step, there will always be a day of success, but this season, I have seen more and have more ideas." I used to think that others were better than me, and I always had a day to catch up, but now ......"

Milito shook his head, "It's a long way off." Watching Shepchenko play like that, and looking at Toni, who has been in Serie A this season, I'm so far behind. If you don't practice well, no matter how hard you don't catch up with them, hard work is nothing, what I want is stronger strength. ”

"You'll have it." Esposito nodded, "Don't worry, you'll get better and better." ”

"I hope so, but for now, at least we still haven't got any satisfactory results, and this time, our results are really down......"

"The team is small, the substitutes are thin, and it is difficult to play two lines, but now Li has to play three lines, how can there be no problems."

Esposito was somewhat dissatisfied with Li Bin's decision. He knew that Li Bin's purpose in doing this was not only to consider Parma, but also to accumulate more experience in double-line operations, so that when he led the team to play games in the future, he would be able to achieve double-line operations. Li Bin usually makes some attempts, and Esposito will not oppose too much, but this time, after all, it is related to the results, and it is possible to get rid of it, so he naturally does not support it.

Won't this kind of thing be done after it gets to the wealthy? Esposito felt that Li Bin was just betting on the team's present and his future. In doing so, the ethics are inevitably a little worse.

"Coach Li has a big heart." Milito was aware of Esposito's displeasure, and after a moment of silence, he still felt that he had something to say, "but I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to do." ”

"For what?" Esposito wondered.

"Because of the big heart, it's not just Coach Li Bin alone, but the rest of us also hope to make some achievements in our hearts." Milito replied, "This season, no matter how hard we try, I'm afraid we won't be able to win the league championship." If you don't win the league title, you will give up the UEFA Cup and the Italian Cup, and you will only get a Champions League place in the end, although it looks good, but I think my teammates will still be dissatisfied. The players work hard because they are ambitious, and if there is no possibility to achieve their ambitions, then there is no point in working hard. Coach Li asked us to change the training mode and adapt to the two games a week, which was indeed a little tired, but when we thought that this was to prepare for the Champions League next season, our players were in good spirits. Ambitious players, who wants to be a soft-footed shrimp in the Champions League, a team in the nest? We have been training very hard so far, no one has complained, and no one has said anything that should not be said, isn't it because our heart is as high as Coach Li? ”

"Don't you think he's risking your life and death for the sake of his own future?"

"At least what he's doing is good for us."

"Yes, a coach who is at the top of the league and can't win the championship is definitely not satisfied, and how can you be satisfied with such a result? What he wants is something better, and you are all the same. He has that heart, you have too, his vision, not only the long-term vision of how to play in the Champions League next season after the halfway of the season, but also the familiar and meticulous vision of his players, these things, I really didn't expect. Esposi understood what was going on, and nodded his head repeatedly.

This team has determination, not only Li Bin alone, but also all the players in the team. Li Bin has great ambitions, they don't feel tired, on the contrary, for them, it's something to be happy about.

"Looks like I'm wrong, it's me who wants to go wrong. You're such a good player, you can play with us, I don't know what about the others, but as long as I'm an assistant coach next season, I'll suggest that the team sign you. At that time, together, we will take this team to the next level! Let's go to the Champions League and let others see what our strength is! ”
