Although Li Bin expected a lot of things, he still didn't expect that when he rushed back to Parma in October, the team's results were already unbearable to witness.

"It's unbelievable how we can be this grade, we were fifth in the league last season."

Although Li Bin thinks that the team may not be good, but now, this situation is still beyond his expectations.

"It's third, if you count backwards." Esposito said, "This season's relegation is not necessarily guaranteed. Ten rounds have gone before we get nine points, and at that rate, we are relegated this season. ”

"You're not in a hurry."

"Why am I in a hurry? It's not my turn to be anxious about this matter, right? Esposito sneered.

Looking at Esposito's appearance, Li Bin knew that he and Bardini had quarreled. Esposito has always had a bad temper and is unwilling to compromise on football matters, so Li Bin would not be surprised if he did quarrel with the manager. When he was leaving, he specially instructed him for this, but it still didn't work. Esposito's temper is like this, and Li Bin can't help it, but what really surprised him was how it could be rotten to the point of relegation? It was unexpected.

"How bad is it?" Li Bin also wondered, "Is it really inevitable to be demoted?" ”

Although Li Bin is said to be a time-traveler, he was also a football lover in his previous life, but it is impossible for him to remember the results of each team clearly. In his memory, Parma did gradually decline, and it seemed that they were relegated, but he didn't remember much about the specific time and game.

After all, he didn't do football research in his last life, and as a fan, he remembered a lot of Gilardino's consecutive balls against Inter Milan, but how many can accurately say the number of goals Gilardino scores every year? Li Bin is a more fanatical fan, but he is not so fanatical as to memorize the league rankings every year.

He doesn't know what Parma's results have been in this season in history, is it really that bad?

"How the game is, you can see what it is." Esposito was silent for a moment but spoke, "Pretty bad. They fully demonstrate a truth: there is no boundary, only the universe and human stupidity - the former is to be verified, and the latter is absolutely true. ”

And this also allowed Li Bin and Esposito to go to the court together during the weekend game.

And watching Parma's game, it didn't take long for Li Bin to frown.

"Let Cannavaro Jr. and Bonella partner as central defenders......" Looking at the game lineup, Li Bin couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, "No wonder we are all so passionate when we see us one by one." With such a backline, I look like I want to register as a player and go on the pitch to score a goal. ”

Cannavaro Jr. is the biological brother of Italy international Cannavaro, and as a defender, he is far inferior to his brother. Although he has better physical qualities than his brother, his defensive skills are far inferior. He's fine in everything else, but he has a problem that a defender can't have: recklessness. As a defender, playing recklessly, that means that this player will have a lot of missed balls.

And his partner is Bonella, who is a youth player of the team. Bonella can be said to be the first student brought out by Li Bin himself as a coach - although Li Bin is a little flustered when he thinks about this question - he is now in Serie A and is also considered to be the successor of Nesta, but Li Bin is all too familiar with his problems.

What is different from what I remember is that at this stage, Bonella has not been seriously injured, has not undergone major repairs, and his speed has not been destroyed, so he is still passable. And his consciousness and skills, although not at the level of the world, are also the absolute top ten candidates among Italian defenders. But the problem is that he also has a pretty big problem that defenders absolutely can't have: his concentration is quite unfocused.

Players are not machines, and when you play with the computer, the computer can control where the players are playing. However, in the actual game, many times, the players have the problem of lack of concentration. As a defender, sometimes when your team is playing smoothly, you may not work in the backcourt for more than ten minutes, and at this time, desertion is inevitable. Bonella has this problem, and when there is nothing else to do, he can't help but desert.

And if there are two defenders on a team, one is a daredevil, and the other is distracted-Li Bin looked at them and repeatedly warned himself in his heart: he can't make the mistake of killing people just to watch the game.

In front of them, there is a back line of Simplicio and Guerrera. Guerrera's defense is quite conscientious, but Simplicio's style of play is more keen on moving forward, and in front of them, there is Mofeo, who has no defensive ability, and behind him, there is a leaky defense, and the slightest mistake is immediately magnified.

"No wonder you can't hold it, how can such a backline be able to hold it." Li Bin muttered, "Such a backline, not to mention Frey, even if he is replaced with an oversized Buffon, there will only be one death." ”

Originally, Li Bin thought that Bardini was born in the Italian second division after all, although it was possible that he would not be able to adapt to Serie A because of his wrong tactical thinking, but he didn't expect it to be so rotten. Such a team is really likely to be relegated.

'I also think there's a problem at the back, it's too unstable for such a partner. Esposito also said, "But the manager didn't listen to me. He believes that Cannavaro Jr.'s template is Cannavaro and Bonaella's template is Nesta, so this pair can play a strong strength. ”

Li Bin nodded and didn't speak to him. As a technical coach, Esposito is quite sensitive to the technical skills of his players, and he can also see that there are problems in the current backline. Presumably this is also the reason why he went to talk to the manager: this uncomfortable backline, no wonder he would speak against Li Bin's instructions.

As for the question of what template to say...... Just listen to it. Cannavaro and Nesta together are enough to make the enemy desperate, and Cannavaro Jr. and Bonella together are enough to make others desperate, which is a very different combination.

"They can't kick like that." Li Bin shook his head and said.

"However, our head coach thinks it's about being resilient and it's the most advanced tactical concept."

"Advanced? No matter how advanced the concept is, it must be based on reality. Li Bin smiled bitterly, "Moreover, if there is a problem with the back line, I won't say anything, and the most puzzling thing for me is that the forward line is so bad." ”

Although Parma is no longer in the past with Veron and Crespo, the lineup in the front court is not bad at all. The three attacking players made by Mofeo, Marchioni and Bresciano are quite good attacking lines, and in the forward line, they have last season's Serie A silver boot winners, the most promising young player Gilardino in the country. Such a formation should have been a very good attacking front, but now Parma's attack is also a mess.

Parma's time at Prandelli was one of the best young strikers in Serie A and excellent wide players, but they never tried to play on the ground. Prandelli knew Gilardino and the attacking line behind him very well at that time, and he let the backcourt keep feeding him the ball, so as to play well around Gilardino. But now, Baldini didn't know what he remembered, and he had to try ground coordination - these players' strengths are not ground coordination!

"Mr. Bardini, it seems that he wants to pursue something different from Mr. Prandelli......" Esposito still said in a tone of immortality, "he doesn't want to focus on one player at the core, but to play football as a whole. ”

Sometimes, coaches make reforms, not for the needs of the team, but simply to inject their own brand into the team and remove the imprint of the previous manager. And apparently, that's what Bardini is doing now. But......

"If you want to have yourself, you have to have this capital, if you don't have good enough players, the tactical system can't support it, what nonsense! Our group of people, hitting the ground and cooperating with the advancement, is too much worse. ”

Marchioni is a good right midfielder and a great player with long balls, so he is also known as Beckham. Among Bresciano's skills, the most outstanding is his long-range shot, so he is also called the Australian cannon. Such two people have to play small cooperation...... This is difficult for a strong man.

"It's not just that that's scary. What struck me the most strange was Alberto's state. His strength is more than that, but ......"

"I said his problem, his psychological quality is completely unqualified, he played a good wind, and he was able to score fairy goals against the top three in the north, but the more the team was against the wind, the more he couldn't play. Alberto is a bit used to being a little bit of a bad habit by us, lacking ruthlessness and persistence. Li Bin sighed, "And, in the final analysis, he is a point-grabbing center, although the skills of taking the ball in the penalty area are stronger than the average person, but it has not reached the level of Crespo's world-class level, and he can't do the ball with his back, and the ground cooperates, he can't kick." ”

Sighing, Li Bin didn't know what to say. Such a team has been brought to this point, and this is really talent. Li Bin expected other things, but ignored that the coach was stupider than he thought. If it goes on like this, maybe when he gets out of class, the team will be relegated, what's the point of not taking it?

"Mr. Valdini said that his team did not play well, which was the reason for the lack of recruitment, and what he wanted was Roma's Italian youth international Ferronetti, you didn't get it, the current defenders in the team are all colanders......" Until this time, Esposito was still talking bad about the coach.

"Parma can't afford Nesta and Cannavaro in the current situation. When we use people, we have to find a way to make the colander kick out the best effect. If you don't even have this problem-solving ability, then what kind of coach is you? ”

Li Bin raised an eyebrow at this. The kick is rotten like this, and there is a face monster to recruit? These players are not used well, and they still want new people? Who doesn't know that Zidane and Ronaldo are good players? Can Parma afford it?

"He's also an excellent coach in the Italian second division, why is it so unbearable to get to the first division?"

"Class A and Class B are different after all." Li Bin opened his mouth gently, "The purpose of the second grade is relatively simple, upgrade, this is the greatest pursuit." Not every team in the First Division has the ability to win the championship, and those who are not capable of winning the championship like Parma have to give the players something to look forward to, for example, to highlight the ability of a certain player and give him a better future, so as to stimulate the enthusiasm of the players. The difference between grade A and grade B is not the difference in difficulty, but in the difference in the level of mentality and interests. If you don't understand this, you can't lead the team. ”

Esposito was silent for a moment before sighing, "I used to think that when Mr. Prandley was the coach, everything was so simple and so natural, but now it seems to be really ......"

"Not easy, right?" Li Bin patted him, "It's a normal thing, the Chinese have a saying, it's easy to evaluate ancient personnel, and it's difficult to do ancient personnel." When you watch other people do it, you always think, what's this, isn't it just a group of players to play football, and even think that as long as you can motivate them to play well, what can't you do? However, that's not the case. Careful preparation, a detailed understanding of each of their players, and how to use the combination to make them play to their strengths and avoid weaknesses – that's what a coach should do when directing his team's game. However, it now appears that Mr. Valdini has clearly failed to do so. Li Bin watched the game, but laughed, "Look, our opportunity has come, I want to see, what reason does he have not to resign?" ”
