Section 54 Drop the chain defense

After the victory over Inter Milan, Parma ushered in two consecutive defeats, and when facing Fiorentina, Parma's lineup was quite strange, Li Bin once again sacrificed the 334 style of play, and this time, because there was no Melo on the field, he put Mofeo in the midfield position, and sent the players on.

And such a formation is naturally a mess that has been slaughtered. There are no two wings, the back is like a vacuum, Parma played a full offensive football in this game, there was no defense at all, the front court attacked fiercely, the back field leaked ruthlessly, a game down, the front relied on Gilardino, Rossi and Toure scored three goals, but the backfield just conceded four goals, a 3-4, lost the game.

"What the hell is Li Bin thinking? How would you put up such a formation to play football? He has always attached great importance to defense, how can he play a game, but he seems to have forgotten what defense is at all? Mofeo plays in the middle, without any protection on the wing, it is not a good style of playing at all, what is Li Bin thinking? ”

The accusations against Li Bin in the media also came immediately. On the one hand, this is the anger they have been accumulating for a long time, and they want to vent it well, and on the other hand, the media is also extremely dissatisfied with Li Bin's current approach.

If you want to lose early, losing to Inter Milan can still allow Inter to continue the journey to win the championship, and let Mancini brag about being young and promising, but only now he loses, even if he loses to Spalletti, even Zoff loses, which is too much.

'Parma are preparing for the UEFA Cup game now and we need to think about playing on two fronts and losing some of the minor games is not a big deal. What we have to do now is to fight for the glory of Serie A. ”

Li Bin's words made the Italian media all ridiculed: If you lose, you lose, where can you find so many excuses? Moreover, what kind of honor is the League Cup?

"If he was going to play in the Champions League, maybe I would think that Li Bin was going to fight for Serie A honours now. But the League Cup...... When did Serie A need that losers' cup as its own honour? Did he think he was playing in the Champions League? Because of the series of wins, he has the illusion that he is the head coach of the Holy League? ”

The Italian media immediately sneered for a while, which also made Li Bin sigh.

Italy is still that virtuous, and it doesn't look at it at all for the League Cup. In their eyes, only the Champions League is considered a champion, and the other League Cups or whatnot, all of them are better to ignore.

And it is this attitude that will lead to Serie A falling out of the top three leagues and becoming the fourth league in the future. When La Liga and the Bundesliga were frantically brushing points in the League Cup, they didn't move, and this was naturally going to be overtaken. And at that time, coupled with the problem of poor economy, Italian football can be regarded as completely entering a low period. If only they had paid attention to these issues earlier, why not!

Whether they pay attention or not is none of Li Bin's business, Li Bin is paying attention to the League Cup anyway. He has to make money for himself, so he is quite well prepared for the UEFA Cup. At this time, he ushered in the first opponent of the UEFA Cup, which was the Bundesliga team Stuttgart.

This team made a name for themselves in the Bundesliga last season because they have a lot of young players in their squad, and they have played quite well under Magath, even beating Manchester United in the Champions League and Bayern Munich in the league, and they have also been called the Young Guard, which has attracted a lot of attention. And after the end of last season, Bayern, the hegemon of the Bundesliga, immediately launched their traditional trick: I can't beat you, but I can poach your people - they poached Stuttgart's head coach Magath to Munich.

And Magath is gone, but their main lineup remains. Hildebrand, Lahm, Bordon, Mela, Hinkel, Hleb, Gengtner, Deepet, Kuranyi and other players are quite good players, in the team, they also have veterans Helt and Saubic to press, and in their youth team, there are Tashcher, Khedira, Gomez and others, the strength is still quite good.

And their coach is Summer.

The German legend has been a coach since he retired. In the British football game FM, his attributes are extremely terrifying, and many people regard him as the best assistant coach, but in real life...... His coaching ability is obviously two dimensions to the game.

Although Summer's football acumen is good enough, it doesn't mean that he can use all his wisdom on the field. During his tenure, his training methods were always criticized for not being scientific - to put it simply, he used all the things he trained on the training ground, and he forgot that he was so useless......

Talent is only one aspect of football coaches, and hard work is also indispensable. In Li Bin's memory, it didn't take long for Sameer to realize that he was not a coach, and he was no longer a coach, and he still had a set of self-knowledge.

It's just that, at this time, the German media will not think so.

"Stuttgart's Young Guards are one of the best teams in the Bundesliga, and their defence is the best in the Bundesliga. Stuttgart are better than Parma, and under Summer's leadership, they should be able to beat Parma as well. ”

Although the German media usually scolded Samer very fiercely, before the game, they began to be optimistic about Sameer. After all, Summerr is a famous figure in the Bundesliga, and the media is still willing to give him more support. Moreover, Stuttgart is also the youth guard of the Bundesliga, and the team with more young players will always be favored.

In contrast, Parma is more despised. Germany's most widely circulated newspaper, Bild, published an early article on the investigation of Parma.

"Parma haven't been very good this season, they are in the relegation zone in the league, they are still fighting for relegation, they have just suffered two defeats in a row recently, and their morale is at their lowest. At the same time, their new coach is a young man in his thirties, who has never played professional football and has no experience to speak of, so to speak, they have taken advantage of everything......"

Looking at the report of the Germans, Li Bin only sighed.

"I always thought that the Germans were more rigorous, but who knows, the Bild newspaper is called the German Sunzeite, and it really deserves its reputation - when it comes to Stuttgart, the Young Guard, it ignores the age of our players, who are even younger than them. And when it comes to me, it's just inexperienced, and it's as if Summerer is not just coming in this season, but has been coaching for many years, and this grandson's ability to play with double standards is really better than the other......"

For these things, after a long time, Li Bin has no anger. Let them go, no matter how good the media says, can they still make their strength stronger?

Therefore, after leading the team to Germany, Li Bin couldn't help but sarcastically say a few words when he was interviewed, "I have heard about the reputation of the Stuttgart Youth Army for a long time, and I heard that their average age is less than three years older than ours...... It's really young. ”

His words left the German media dumbfounded for a moment. It's true that they shouted about the youth army, but because of the veterans in the ranks, when it comes to age advantage, they really can't compare with Palma and Maer.

"It's about strength, not age."

Soon, the media was talking again. And Li Bin also smiled at this. Well, with that said, see you on the pitch.

And this game also began soon.

"In this game, Stuttgart, who are playing at home, basically put out their strongest lineup. The goalkeeper is Hildebrand, and the back line is made up of Lahm, Bordon, Mela, Hinkel. In midfield, there are Soldo and veteran Helt, while on the left and right flanks, Hleb and Messner are respectively, and in the front field are Shobic and Kuranyi - their lineup is quite good. ”

"On Parma's side, the main players used are still players from their league. They put on a 352 formation, which is also the lineup they use the most - they still used two wing-backs in this game, instead of using two forwards, which is obviously more secure, and it seems that Coach Li Bin is also quite afraid of Stuttgart, so his tactics are relatively conservative......"

The German commentators are obviously more oriented towards the Germans. However, as soon as the game began, it seemed that this was not the case at all.

Parma's attack, from the start, was much more rampant than they had imagined. Zimbonda and Dosena pressed up early, while Yaya Toure in midfield pressed through the half early and rushed forward with Mofeo.

Is this really going to pinch Stuttgart as a soft persimmon?

Summerer stood on the sidelines early, and at this time he also roared loudly. Li Bin looked back at him, and although Li Bin's German was not good, he also understood what he meant.

Sure enough, Ram quickly plugged in, and in cooperation with Hleb, he thrust forward.

But in front of them, they immediately encountered a large gate. Melo made up for it on the flank, and together with Zim Bonda, he completely blocked Stuttgart's attack.

Lahm is a very good player, but when he appears on the left wing, he is limited by the habit of his right foot, he cannot cross at the first time, and can only choose more to cooperate with Hleb as the main means of attack, which is his biggest problem. If he meets a team in the Bundesliga, he may still be able to play well, but when he meets Parma, how can Li Bin give him any chance? What is the future of these people, who can know better than Li Bin.

Stuttgart's left flank, from the very beginning of the game, was a key target for Parma.

Ram tried to shake twice, but couldn't get past his opponent. Melo stuck up and snatched the ball from his feet with some brutality. At this time, Melo's choice was not to hand over the ball to Yaya Toure next to him, but to make a long pass and kick it out of the other wing.

This made Ram instantly understand Parma's thoughts.

Because it was 352, Stuttgart's consciousness was a little relaxed, because the middle lane was too pressed by Parma, they could only choose to fly on both sides, and at this time, Hinkel on the other side road was also inserted, and behind him, there was an empty space.

And Giuseppe Rossi has already pulled the side to get the ball at this time. Melo's pass, just at his feet, was already on the offensive.

Looking at this situation, Li Bin also smiled: The defense of the Bundesliga team...... If Serie A is a chain defense, the Bundesliga is simply a chain defense. A group of defenders with a forward heart, how can I be worthy of you if I don't hit behind you?
