On 18 February, Parma rotated again in the league against Sampdoria, and they won this game effortlessly, but the whole league knows that Parma's focus is long gone from this game.

In the Champions League, Parma are also facing their first-round opponents, Arsenal.

Parma had a glorious period in their history, but unfortunately, even in their most glorious days, they did not have a Champions League performance, they played in the Champions League, but the result was a group exit, and to this day, if you count it, Parma have won many awards in the league, the League Cup, the Super Cup, the Cup Winners' Cup, and the only thing they don't have is a Champions League title. Therefore, when the Champions League comes, Parma will certainly be very attentive.

Of course, people don't think that Parma will be able to win the Champions League this season, but even if they don't win the Champions League, whether Parma will make a breakthrough in the Champions League is also very concerning. With the passage of time, people have also realized that Li Bin is a coach with great ambitions, and no one who is a good coach will ignore the European competition, and whether he can play in the European competition is also a matter of great concern to the media.

However, Parma's signing luck is indeed not very good, and the opponent they drew is Arsenal, a powerhouse in the Premier League. As one of the top four in the Premier League, Arsenal is still quite strong, and against such a team, Parma is also facing a lot of pressure.

"I don't think the pressure is on us. Arsenal are a strong team, but let's not forget that they are only in the top four of the Premier League. They don't have to be the dominant side compared to us. Just because the Premier League teams are strong in the Champions League doesn't mean they can beat us, Arsenal have always been a very soft team in Europe, so it might be a good thing for us to draw them. ”

Privately, when Li Bin and Esposito talked, the evaluation of the draw result was quite good, "Arsenal won the Champions League runner-up last year, which makes people think that they may have played well in the Champions League, but don't forget, this is the second time Wenger has led the team to the semi-finals since he took charge - and once in Monaco - he has never been a coach who is good at playing in the Champions League, and Arsenal has been happy with Manchester United in the league for ten years since Wenger took over." But in the Champions League, except for this runner-up, the best result is a quarter-final. Playing in the Champions League with them, our chances of winning are not small. ”

Since the beginning of the new century, the Premier League has been extremely strong in the Champions League. Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United – they have four teams that can all compete for European points in the Premier League in the league. Moreover, because the league broadcast rights are sold well, and the advertising is also done well, the income of the Premier League is much higher than that of the major leagues, and there are naturally people who have money, although the Premier League has always been regarded as the roughest league in football, but under the continuous large investment, the Premier League is full of people from all over the world, so that their strength is also developing by leaps and bounds.

Compared to Serie A, the Premier League teams are much more profitable, and they naturally have better strength. Li Bin's plan to go to the Premier League in the future is also related to this general environment - in memory, the Premier League will achieve a relegation team in the future to share more than 90 million pounds of income, and at the same time, La Liga Malaga went bankrupt because of the inability to pay wages, and even Milan on the Serie A side could not reach this income, such a big gap makes the Premier League extremely strong.

However, the strength of the Premier League does not mean that every team is strong, and how to spend the money is also a big problem. Manchester United, Chelsea, these teams, after having money, are used to buy people and increase the salary level, which makes their team extremely strong, but Arsenal because of the construction of a new stadium, the team's assets are negative, and now although Arsenal has the third largest income in Europe, there is no money to buy people, and their reinforcements are really not outstanding.

In the summer, they bought Alexander Song, Brazilian midfielder Denilson, Germany's Rosicky, as well as Ashley Cole for Galla and Pound sterling, and Reyes for Baptista. Among the players they left were Lauren, Reyes, Cole, and Pire. Last season they were able to reach the Champions League final, but this season, their left and right wings have all changed, the players have changed a lot compared to before, and the strength has declined, Li Bin believes that Parma's chances are not necessarily less than Arsenal's.

'I'm not very afraid of Arsenal, one of the most important reasons is that Arsenal have gone the wrong way over the years.

Before the game, Li Bin was also ready to analyze Arsenal well, and many of his analyses made Esposito feel difficult to accept.

"A lot of people say that the rise of Arsenal is due to the vision of coach Arsene Wenger who knows how to recruit people from the lower leagues, but if you look closely at Arsenal's key signings, you will find that this is not the case at all. During the rivalry between Arsenal and Manchester United, they had their own legacy of the backline, the Premier League's top five defenders. And their three most important reinforcements, Bergkamp, Henry, Vieira, are not introduced from the small league, these three people, just from the top three teams in the north one by one - at the end of the 90s, Serie A is in full swing, the top three in the north is high, in their team, some players can not play, Wenger's Arsenal rise, the most critical reinforcements, through the purchase of players in Serie A at that time. ”

"A lot of people say that Arsenal bought players who didn't play well in Serie A, and they were bought by Arsenal because they couldn't play in Serie A, but if you look carefully at these transactions, you will find that this is not the case, I specially found the newspaper at the time and carefully looked at the reasons for the transfer of the three people."

"When Vieira was in Milan, before the Boseman Act, foreign aid could only play three per game, and at that time Milan had six foreign aids, Desailly, Wech, Savicevic was the main force, and the first substitute was Boban, Vieira is a young man, his opportunities are comparable to Forteray, they are all rotations, but his luck is not good, he played in the Italian Cup, but the result was against Juventus, let him keep an eye on Zidane - Zidane in the late 90s, he was naturally completely blown up and lost the opportunity since then, Went to Arsenal. He was not disappointed in Serie A, but it was only because of the unfortunate foreign aid regulations and the fact that he met people who should not have met him. ”

"The same goes for Thierry Henry, many people say that Henry didn't play well in Serie A, so he went to the Premier League, but in fact, Henry's last two games at Juventus were consecutive goals, and the media report at the time was 'a rising star'. Arsenal bought him at a record price, not at a bargain price. ”

"And Bergkamp, at Inter Milan was reluctant to play defensive football, when Inter Milan was in chaos, he was even asked to play in the back at one point, plus he and Ruben Sousa did not get along, thinking that Ruben Sousa was too sticky to the ball, which was the main reason. And he doesn't like the Italian media, he thinks that the Italian media doesn't care enough about him, and the most is that his wife is snubbed by the media, and there is no media to interview his wife, so he went to England. ”

"Even Anelka, we now say that Arsene Wenger dug Anelka, but at that time Paris Saint-Germain, who was a big player in Ligue 1, played in the Cup Winners' Cup final with us, reached the last four of the Champions League, and had super players like Weah. At that time, Ligue 1 was the second league, and it was said that this was poaching people from the small league, just like Cristiano Ronaldo who I am buying Manchester United now, and he also claimed to be a visionary - what is there to be unique about? ”

"To sum up, what does the rise of Arsenal rely on? It depends on tirelessly bringing in good players who have been overlooked from the better leagues. The Premier League in the 90s belonged to a backward zone, many people who didn't play well in Serie A went there to play well, Zola they did it, Arsenal also got up like this, and Wenger likes to dig up fellow countrymen, at the end of the 90s, the strength of the French team is the top three in the world, except for Brazil can be compared with France, other teams really have no comparison, French players, even if they are not the main force of the national team, are also very strong, at that time to dig some down-and-out French stars, naturally can succeed. But now the youth training in France has gone the wrong way, blindly focusing only on the body, where is there anyone in France to poach? Wenger digs up his fellow countrymen again, and something will happen. Arsene Wenger does have a good eye and has his eye on a lot of good players, but where did the Arsenal team, Ashley Cole, Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira, Pire, including Campbell, come from? They're not from a minor league. It's good that he can poach Pire, Ljungberg, Big Toure, but that doesn't mean Arsenal will always be right – he's not me. After the success of successive purchases, he was too conceited of his own vision, and wanted to poach those potential children from the small league to cultivate them, and then make Arsenal spend less money to win the title. However, he forgot that the players he bought at the beginning were not the new stars in the small league, but the frustrated people of the big teams, the difference between the two is still quite big, the frustrated stars are far less difficult to cultivate, the small league players must have all kinds of shortcomings, the playing environment since childhood, the training situation, habits, diet, the youth training of the small league and the big league is not comparable, Wenger trusts his children too much, and his conceit has a great impact on his own team. ”

"Wenger can't help it, who let him catch up with the team to build the stadium and this kind of thing? The cost of building a stadium is staggering, and no matter how it is, it is difficult to guarantee that the team will have money to spend. Esposito ignored Li Bin's boasting.

It's not a matter of running out of money - Li Bin didn't say it, it's okay to talk about people's football concepts behind his back, but it's too disrespectful to Wenger to say it. If it is said that there is no money and no people are bought, then there is nothing, but because of the lack of money, and even when the team players renewed their contracts, Ashley Cole was forced to turn his face because of the difference in the weekly salary of 5,000 pounds, which is somewhat unkind. Every coach has his own philosophy when he coaches the team, and Li Bin believes that Coach Wenger's annual signing over 30 years old and strict control of weekly salary are a bit close to paranoia. Times have changed, the wages of the players have increased, if you don't raise the salaries of the players, how can you keep talent? It's a bit too rigid to sign a contract a year over the age of 30, which is Arsenal, if Milan plays this set, how much work will be done to renew the contract every year......

Arsene Wenger's philosophy is clearly out of order.

Li Bin also buys young people, but he buys people, always the old, middle and young generations, all buy young people, relying on a group of children to play football, it looks beautiful, but the reality is not FM, so it can't be fun.

"Arsenal's philosophy has been skewed, and now they are not good enough to match us. Let's tell them what a really good team is! ”
