Receiving the ball at his feet, Balotelli took two steps to the side and then passed to Hamsik next to him. As an Italian player, he never imagined that his first time he would play on Chinese soil and play against the Chinese team.

This made him a little regretful: as a person who wanted his first appearance to change the world, it seemed a little unhonorable to play in a friendly match. However, this also made him a little excited: after all, this is also the opportunity for the starting main force he has been looking forward to for a long time, and if he doesn't take advantage of this game to impress the head coach and let him promise himself a good position, when will it be?

So, from the very beginning of the match, Balotelli played hard and vowed that he was going to show his opponent how strong he was in this match. Moreover, although the Chinese side is not the home field, Balotelli also feels quite satisfied: at least, they do not have the situation of booing themselves as soon as they get the ball: in Italy, because of his black identity, he has seen a lot of such things.

On the sidelines, sitting in the coach's seat, looking at Balotelli who was working very hard, Li Bin also thought a little about what he was thinking. This made Li Bin a little amused and a little happy: at least, the current Balotelli has not yet reached the realm of complete elusiveness of the mind.

In this game with the Chinese team, Parma did not use too many main players, Li Bin put out a 4321 formation, on the back line, he let Samba and Cannavaro Jr. start, let Bout start the main force, and on the right back, it was Thuram who started. On the midfield line, he let the three main midfielders and Arshavin all play, and in front, he still used two young men, Hamsik and Balotelli, as starters.

Such a lineup is certainly not Parma's strongest strength, but Li Bin arranges it like this, and others are not easy to pick on anything: the Copa America is coming, and a lot of deals have been made in the new season, Parma is not evenly handed, and it is already very good to have so many people. Parma are a bit out of place in other positions, but at least in midfield, they play their best and that's satisfying.

Parma is still very sincere, playing friendly matches, sincerity is more important than strength, and Li Bin is very accurate in implementing this.

However, even if he doesn't pay attention to strength, his players are now the same as the Chinese team, facing a lot of problems.

On the pitch, Hamsik was at the edge of the penalty area, shook a little, and then turned around to shoot, but at the last moment, he twisted his foot and passed the ball diagonally into the box. Balotelli slashed in and took the ball to his feet, and from a tight angle, he turned and shot and kicked the ball out! Unfortunately, the angle of the ball was a little difficult to grasp, and he couldn't shoot the ball in.

Shooting from a small angle is still a bit difficult for him to control.

"We can see that this attack was completed by Balotelli again, this player is only 17 years old this year, and he is still a post-90s player, but on the field, his several performances today have all caused a lot of trouble to the Chinese team. The gap between European players and Chinese players is quite large, and we can see it from Balotelli's actions. Coach Li Bin arranged such an outstanding player to play, which also gave us a glimpse of the gap with the top players. ”

On the court, almost every time Balotelli touches the ball, it will cause great pressure on the Chinese team. Although he is only 17 years old, he is tall and has excellent skills, and when he is on the court, although he is young, he does not suffer in any aspect, and the trouble caused is also very big. Every time the ball reaches his feet, he just makes a simple move, and he can always make the Chinese team embarrassed.

His skills are not very mature: whether it is a breakthrough in possession or shooting, the stability is very poor, and his body is not very good: as a center player, he is still a little thin, and when he encounters a strong player, it is still possible that he can't bear it, even if it is not against a strong man, it is difficult for him to rely on his body to achieve crushing, but, no matter how immature, he is now a player with a skillful sense of the ball, able to hold the ball, and able to make complete movements, compared with these players in China, He's already very strong.

The Chinese team has always had the habit of changing their age and bullying children, but when facing such a real child, they have almost no way to win now. Age can indeed cause a gap, but top talent, even at a young age, can pose a great threat.

Now on the field, he's making such an attack. By the time Arshavin made a pass over the heads and flew overhead, Balotelli had already spun around and ran towards the football. In the run, he chose a good route and blocked Li Datou, who was rushing back and wanted to outflank, behind him - the defenders need to go around the defense in the face of the forward's grabbing points, but the Chinese defenders, the running position is obviously not worthy of praise, such a running card man, if it is against the top defender Balotelli, he will definitely not be able to do it, but Li Datou, he completed it effortlessly, and Li Datou was blocked by him, and there was no chance to attack at all.

His speed is not particularly fast, Li Datou is one step behind him, but, even so, Li Datou pushed twice or three times, he didn't care: his body is very stable, once he gets stuck in the position, he will not give the defender a chance. The ball landed in front of him, and he chased after it, and after getting the ball, he kicked the ball into the corner.

Very good shot, however, the angle is a little too big, Balotelli is still a little young, the shooting skills are not very mature, this shot, slid past the goal, no goal.

Balotelli turned his head, but only twisted his neck, his face was expressionless, and he didn't even look at Li Datou, and walked back to himself. For him, it seems that playing football with Li Datou stuck behind him is just a trivial matter.

However, this made Li Datou a little relentless: a 17-year-old child can crush himself like this, which is really unconvincing. He asked himself that he was already the best defender in China, but in the face of Balotelli, he had some irresistible feelings.

Is this kid really 17 years old? A 17-year-old player has this level, and this is also a monster-level person, right? Why is Parma so good even for children?

What he didn't know was that what Li Bin wanted was to make him think so.

This is also the best way for Li Bin to avoid controversy: playing with the Chinese team, if you win or lose, some people will be indignant, if you win, you will complain that Li Bin is not patriotic, and if you lose, you will complain that Li Bin does not let Parma play seriously, and does not know how to repay the fans. No matter what you do, you will complain at both ends, and if you don't handle it well, you will be scolded. Therefore, the easiest way Li Bin thought of is this: I let sixteen or seventeen-year-old children play, and you can't play, then you can't blame me.

Balotelli is one of the few talented people in the 90-year-old class, and he is a black player with excellent physical fitness, such a person, when he meets the Chinese team, as long as he wants, he can play well. And losing to a 17-year-old boy, the Chinese team can't say anything, right? They won't say it anymore, Li Bin is not patriotic, right? And the use of high-potential players in such a game also makes fans have a thought: who doesn't want a world-class star to play here for the first time? If Balotelli really plays in the future, maybe this game will become something that fans talk about.

So, he arranged it this way: let Balotelli be the main attacker, and, it seemed, it worked out pretty well. Although Balotelli's skills are still immature and he doesn't score when he plays, with the seriousness of his game, it is only a matter of time before he scores. Bringing him to China can be said to be a time bomb, but it is also very useful.

A small win is even in the past: Li Bin knew that in the 90s, when those teams came to China, they all lost directly and took money and left, but later, the Chinese team's results became worse and worse, and they were tired of doing so, so they couldn't hide it. If you want to lose again, then the fans will scold the street: now it is different from the 90s, what is the strength of the team, the fans are psychological, and it is not a good way to fool people to come here to lose.

These days, it's getting harder and harder to cheat......

Moreover, from the beginning, Li Bin had no intention of losing. The difference in strength between the two sides is too big, and it will be difficult to lose. Unless Li Bin asked for it in the locker room, but thinking that the other party was the Chinese team, he was reluctant to give this kind of order: how long did he worry about the Chinese team in his previous life, he still remembered it, and when he met them and then lost, Li Bin also felt angry. If you don't carefully arrange the massacre, it will be for the sake of money, but it is impossible to let Li Bin take the initiative to admit defeat.

However, if you want to win, you have to think about the method: if you score ten goals in one stroke, you won, but the fans will definitely not be happy: no matter how bad the Chinese team is, it is their own waste, and if they take a group of foreigners to fight the Chinese team, the fans will also complain. How to win and still be able to satisfy the fans is simply a difficult problem of standing and making money.

So Li Bin doesn't like this kind of game - the game is the game, and it's too tiring to think about it so much, but fortunately, this time, relying on Balotelli, he survived the situation. He doesn't think that the Chinese team can still turn the tables, and he won this game: from the time he shamelessly put out the three-back formation of 4321, there was no chance for the Chinese team to win this game.

Tactics are used in the case that there is no absolute difference in the strength of the players, but in the face of such a big gap between the Chinese team and Parma, any tactics are in vain. Samba and Cannavaro Jr.'s physical strength, when they appear in front of their opponents, are completely two walls, and when they steal, they can grab the ball no matter how they rob, and the Chinese team will naturally not be able to win.

How big can the gap be between the strong and the weak? From the perspective of a fan, it may be said that the players can fill the trench with a little effort, but if it is from the perspective of a coach, Li Bin will clearly say: the gap is too big.

The best team in China is probably the team of Evergrande in memory. But what will be the state of a team at that level, when it meets a European team? Even with Lippi's leadership, they still can't beat Bayern, and before they got Lippi, their friendly match with Real Madrid could have been played with a score like 7-1.

The strength is inferior, you can chase. If you are not as good as you are in concept, you can learn, and if you are not as good as you are in state, you can practice - there is nothing wrong with saying this. However, has the Chinese team learned for so many years? Have you practiced? Did you chase it? Not at all, not only no, but even those who want to learn, practice, and catch up with themselves have to be suppressed. Since the 19th century, the Chinese have known the Taoist master Yi's long skills to control Yi, but the football world, until now, still does not understand this truth, still shouting blood, hard work, willpower, still superstitious about the head coach's strategy, Sun Tzu's Art of War, 36 plans, and still following the old road of the Boxers.

Every time I watch the national football team, I am very bored - sitting on the sidelines, Li Bin also sighed. Looking back at the bench, he was also thinking about substitutions: this kind of game is really boring, it's time for the young players to go on the field.

"Orlando, get ready, in the second half, you play."
