Section 182 Pressure
In the Champions League against Bordeaux, Parma ended up winning 2-0. After Milito scored a goal, Li Bin made some adjustments to the lineup, and let Crespo replace him in the second half, and Crespo has obviously not been able to adapt to the main position, when playing, the play can not be regarded as very good, although with the repeated support of his teammates still scored a goal, but, because there were too many wasted opportunities in the second half, they still could not get a bigger victory.
However, although it was only 2-0, Parma also got the three points firmly in their hands, so they didn't have to worry too much.
The Champions League group stage is not particularly difficult to play: the champions of the minor leagues are not necessarily stronger than the third or fourth teams in the major leagues. However, because these games are interspersed in the league, and they often have to go to the national game, the away game does not necessarily go to which country, and it is not so easy to win. In fact, in the Champions League for so many years, the best record in the group stage is the five wins and one draw created by Barcelona and Lyon with 16 points, as for all victories, there is not a single one.
This also objectively shows how difficult it is to score more points in the group stage. Although it is not a particularly remarkable thing to be able to win the home game, in Li Bin's view, it is far better for a team to play steadily than to stop directly after a highlight game.
After beating Bordeaux and returning to the league, Parma also ushered in their own devilish schedule.
Against Milan on September 18, Fiorentina on September 21 and Roma on September 24, they are all strong teams three times a week. And in this, interspersed with a Champions League away game against Copenhagen, and then, in the league, Parma need to contact Sampdoria and Udinese, after playing them, Parma need to usher in a match against Real Madrid.
When he saw the schedule arrangement, Li Bin couldn't help but scold: Does this mean that Parma is already invincible in the world, and he will not be happy if he doesn't give Parma a little extra challenge?
Because of the World Cup, the Serie A league started much later than usual, so during the beginning of the season, there were also several double matches a week, or even three matches, and this also made Parma face a big problem: three games a week, or three consecutive strong teams, which is simply torturous.
"You ask me what my thoughts are? My thought is, maybe when the phone call, too many people who know how to arrange the schedule have been sentenced, and now in Serie A, there is no one who can even arrange the schedule? Three high-level games in a row and then Sampdoria next, what else can I say? All I can say is thank you to the Football Association for putting together all the difficult games for me to solve. When Li Bin was interviewed, he also complained rarely, "Moreover, this season, 11 games were played at noon, it seems that the league remembers that I am Asian and takes care of me a lot on this issue, which is really thankful." ”
The devil's schedule is three games a week, and they are all strong teams, not to mention, and two of these three games are scheduled for noon, which makes Li Bin complain.
The arrangement of the schedule seems to have nothing to do with the overall situation, no matter how it is arranged, it is one or two games a week, but in fact, it is not. If you can intersperse the strong and weak teams, and play three games in a row three times a week, it will definitely feel different. It's the same three games, if you play a weak team on Saturday, another game on Wednesday, and another game on Sunday, you won't feel particularly tired, but Milan on Sunday, Fiorentina on Tuesday, and Roma on Saturday – it's not tiring. Parma's schedule is simply a blow to the head, wanting to erase all the spirit of Parma to win the championship. As for what is such a schedule for...... Li Bin could only smile bitterly, the group of grandsons of the Italian Football Association, the black ones have a fight with the Chinese Football Association.
Moreover, they let Parma play tired and many of them kicked off at noon.
The game that kicks off at 12:30 noon is destined to be difficult to play. In the evening, the players have one day to prepare, but in the noon kick-off, there is only one morning to prepare. Not only is it possible to be underprepared, but there is also a possibility that the players will not have enough rest because they start preparing early, which can cause many problems. However, because some European teams have broadcasts in Asia, they also sometimes schedule their team games until noon. Like Parma, this time it was bad luck to get home, and 11 games were scheduled for the noon kick-off at once.
What is the concept of 11 games with a midday kick-off? This season, Chelsea were scheduled for eight midday kick-off games, and Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho jumped to his feet to scold Manchester United for persecuting Chelsea. On the La Liga side, Real Madrid's 100-year team history has kicked off at noon a total of three times, while Barcelona's 100-year team history has not kicked off at noon once. Although La Liga has discussed with them to kick off in the middle to attract Asian fans, the rich La Liga duo don't care about Asian fans at all, what they want is good condition rather than any money - anyway, La Liga doesn't dare to lose a penny when they share money, and it is very convenient for them to take out loans when they are short of money.
Parma were scheduled to kick off 11 games at noon in a season – which gave Li Bin the idea that I played for a year to top your Real Madrid record for 400 years, but it wasn't something to celebrate.
After Li Bin finished saying these words, he didn't sink into the sea. Soon, after his words were reported in the media, the Italian Football Federation issued a verdict on the matter: Li Bin maliciously slandered the Football Association and fined him 35,000 euros.
"As the coach of the team, it's okay to pay attention to the game, how the league schedule is arranged, it's not the team's coach's turn to put his beak."
The Italian Football Federation quickly gave a clear answer. However, their answer was not to evaluate the schedule issue, but to punish Li Bin's accusation of injustice. Obviously, their attitude is clear: we can make mistakes, but you can't say it. We can be biased, but you can only endure it. More nonsense? This time it's a fine, and next time it's a ban!
This made Li Bin quite angry: This kind of thing, in the final analysis, still depends on the influence of the league, Parma's influence is too small, and no one in Serie A is shouting for Parma, so even if it is obviously a loss, no one pays attention to it, but Li Bin, who opened his mouth to complain, was blamed for not light, and the gap between big teams and small teams is so obvious.
There are some things that can't be learned, Mourinho can shout persecution wherever he goes, but which team he is on is not a big team in the league? Mourinho didn't say complaining off the pitch, even if he complained on the pitch, he was directly expelled by a red card, and in the next game, his team was able to contact the Football Association to lift his ban. He complains so much to grab more benefits for his team and doesn't have to worry about any penalties, but if a small team like Parma dares to complain, it is asking for trouble. The fines are all light, rejoice, and ban you for a few rounds.
Regarding this matter, Sans also quickly found Li Bin, "I will pay the fine for you this time, this is not a matter." But next time, before you want to complain, discuss it with me, don't make your own opinions, complaining like this will not be effective, but will cause trouble yourself. ”
What Sans said was the truth, but it was also a reproach. As a foreigner, he gained a foothold in Italy, or because of his deep affection on the side of the Football Association, he couldn't stand Li Bin's blind toss.
However, after Li Bin said this once, there was no sense of tossing. Zhilu complained that it was useless, and said vigorously, that it was boring.
But he was silent, but someone else was silent. AC Milan boss Silvio Berlusconi got into big trouble when he was asked in an interview about his thoughts on Parma this season.
"Parma hired a Chinese coach, and I heard that another Chinese dietitian was hired. Who knows what the Chinese will eat? He, they were ancient Chinese, could eat baby meat. ”
As soon as Berlusconi's words were finished, it caused an uproar in Serie A. Of course, this is not aimed at Li Bin - even the Italians, no matter how stupid, will not believe in the idea of eating human flesh. But Berlusconi's undisguised racism caused an immediate uproar. Although it is not the first time that Berlusconi has said something brainless, this time, the nature is particularly bad.
This also made Li Bin angry directly when he was interviewed.
"I really don't understand how such a person became a candidate for Italian prime minister." Li Bin's words were very blunt, "Could it be that Italy can't even find a person with a normal brain?" I have nothing to say about his words, and it is superfluous to justify such words and say a word. ”
This time, Li Bin did not flinch, although the person who spoke was Berlusconi, a figure he was absolutely unwilling to provoke, but in the past few days, he also understood: Parma wants to win the championship, the pressure it needs to bear is unimaginable, and while he is making trouble for Inter Milan, Italy is putting pressure on him from all sides. The media, the schedule, anything, he won't have it easy. Whether he can withstand the pressure or collapse like Mancini in previous seasons is up to him.
Small teams play giants, foreigners play Italians, and politically neutral teams play teams with clear positions...... This season, it's going to be really hard.
However, the mountain is more than the beginning of the mountain, is it difficult, can I not fight?
"This is the first big game of the season, Milan have been deducted points for the new season, and they are still in a negative state, they are desperate to earn points back, while Parma are in a long race with Inter Milan, no game can be lost, between them, who will win this game, is a very interesting topic."
This game is Parma's home game, and Li Bin also made his own arrangements after thinking about it.
On the back line, Thuram replaced Cannavaro Jr. as the main force in this game - Milan lost Shepchenko, the only striker to worry about is Inzaghi, and in the face of an old and spicy player like Inzaghi, Cannavaro Jr.'s physical advantage is not used, but Thuram's experience and awareness are more useful.
In midfield, it was Keita who replaced Motta - in terms of organizational ability, Keita is slightly worse than Motta, but when it comes to forward insertion, Keita is slightly stronger than Motta. This season, after Seedorf further aged, Milan used more Ambrosini and Gattuso as the main force, their defensive ability is very strong, and with Pirlo's words, and they can't fight for the organization, then, add some midfield breakthrough ability, try to tear out the void, maybe a better idea.
And again, on the forward line, after thinking about it, Li Bin decided to use Milito and Rossi - Crespo's state has not yet returned to his peak state, and he has always had the problem of being soft on strong teams, and Li Bin doesn't trust him very much. And Nesta and Maldini, the skills are outstanding among the defenders, their combination, the ball is quite stable, it is not realistic to rely on the counter-robbery to deal with them, therefore, Cavani is now on the field, and it is not very useful.
But both Edinson Cavani and Quagliarella could be tried as substitutes for this game. The Milan players are getting older, and if they are replaced by players with good physical strength at the last moment, maybe the effect will be obvious.
Silvio Berlusconi can have a big mouth, but you have to think about it, and the result of your big mouth is that I will work harder against Milan. How can I be happy if this breath is not poured on Milan?
