Section 109 League Begins

When Parma defeated Liverpool and won the European Super Cup, the whole of Italy and England were filled with unbelievable voices.

"How could Liverpool be careless about losing at this time!"

England attributed Liverpool's loss to Liverpool's carelessness when playing football, and ignored the fact that Liverpool was simply suppressed by the whole game. Although Parma scored two goals in this game, with the number of shots, passes and interceptions all the time, but because Parma is not a strong team, in their opinion, this is due to Liverpool's carelessness. If Liverpool had not been deceived by Parma and mistakenly thought Parma was not a rough team, how could they lose?

This issue is the most concerned issue of the English media.

Li Bin was also forced to ask questions by many reporters.

"Coach Li Bin, before the game, you said that rough defense and heading are practices that only weak teams would use, but your team won by relying on rough defense and heading. Can you explain why you did this?"

Facing the reporter's question, Li Bin just shrugged, "Yes, that's what I said... We are weak teams. Compared with Liverpool, aren't we weak teams?"

Such words left the reporters speechless, and saying such words directly made the media have nothing to say... However, Li Bin was right. Compared with a G14 team like Liverpool, Parma is naturally a weak team. Li Bin said nothing wrong with what he said, but this sounds really awkward!

Before the game, Li Bin said something fiercely, and Italian football has always been more despised by British football. What Li Bin said is provoking Liverpool no matter how you look at it. Therefore, everyone thinks that he wants to give Liverpool a nasty one, but who thought that his idea was to confuse Liverpool in this way, and then defeat Liverpool with a more brutal way of playing?

This practice really makes the English media not know how to curse. Did they scold Li Bin for plagiarizing the privilege of playing football in England? There is no such power to fight for...

"Parma's football is really too savage..."

After the game, the English media kept complaining, while the Italian media were all gloating.

"I really didn't expect that one day we could hear English football and accuse Italian football of being too rough..."

English football has always been complained about by the whole of Europe, but only the English people think they are tough and tough. In this game, the rare Englishman suffered such a loss, which naturally made the Italians laugh so much.

Such embarrassing things also made the other party in the game dejected and had nothing to say when being interviewed. Benitez, who was interviewed, could only lower his head and said a few words, "This is an accident" and then stopped talking. And when Gerald and the others were also complaining a few times, and there was nothing to say.

However, although Liverpool lost the UEFA Super Cup, they still did not feel much discouraged. After all, for a giant team like Liverpool, although they did not win the championship, it is not worrying. After all, the Super Cup is not a particularly important game. They are the Champions League champions and the Champions League is in hand. Who will remember a Super Cup?

In fact, the same is true: although he lost the European Super Cup, Parma returned to Italy after winning the championship, while Liverpool remained in Parma at this time, waiting to participate in the Champions League draw in the new season. At the same time, Gerald also took over the honor of the best player in the Champions League.

Compared with the Champions League, the European Super Cup still seems a little worse.

After returning to Italy, Italy was celebrating on the one hand, and they won the European Cup championship again.

"Facts have proved that Italian football is still one of the best leagues in Europe, and our strength is still something that England and other leagues cannot compete with. Although Istanbul's defeat last season, it was just Ancelotti's own mistake. Speaking of real strength, Italy is still stronger than England."

Because it is the European War, after all, it represents the honor of Italy. The Italian media are now quite polite to Li Bin. Moreover, after winning two championships, the Italian media also recognized his ability.

"Coach Li Bin has been in Italy for a long time, and he still learned the essence of Italian football..."

"It's really not easy. After winning these two championships, the Italian media will finally no longer comment on us."

After Li Bin sighed at Esposito, Esposito was also a little confused, "Do you care about what they say? I thought you didn't care about the nonsense of the media."

"Of course I don't care, but if we are criticized too much, can our players be unaffected? I don't want to go against the media, and it's not to keep the players in a good mood and not to keep them under pressure. This is what we should do."

Li Bin knew that as a foreign coach, he was greatly excluded from coaching in places like Italy. The best way to make others not exclude him is to strive for benefits for Italy. Only in this way can others have a good evaluation of him.

If the evaluation is good, the pressure on the players will naturally be reduced. After winning two championships, Italy has now evaluated itself a lot, which has also made the team less trouble.

After making this arrangement, Li Bin also led the team to enter the new season's game.

"Parma has shown strong strength in the game against Liverpool, which also gives us reason to believe that Parma should be able to play well in the new season..."

After Parma won the European Super Cup, his evaluation of Parma has changed a lot for a while. Many people believe that Parma may get a good ranking in the new season. The bookmakers have also adjusted their predictions again for this. They predicted that Parma should be able to get a European quota, ranking fifth or sixth.

However, Li Bin also believes that this new estimate is still too low. Since he is so despised, Li Bin also thinks that he will make a good start to the season at the beginning of the season and show it to others.

He has this confidence: Parma's schedule is pretty good. The encounters between several strong teams in the first half of the season were Roma in the fourth round, Juventus in the fifth round, Fiorentina in the eighth round, Inter Milan away in the twelfth round, and then in January, Milan in the eighth round.

In their first few rounds, they were so popular that Palermo, who was eliminated in the League Cup preliminaries, was promoted to Empoli, and Chivo, who did not play enough results last season.

This kind of schedule is relatively easy. Moreover, there are not many matches in the League Cup, with Denmark teams in one nearby game, and then four group matches. However, because there are not many strong teams in the League Cup and the competition system is nonsense, it is enough to win two games in the group stage, which is relatively simple.

"Since the game is not difficult, then show me the momentum you should have!"

In the first game of the league, Parma faced the sixth place Palermo last season. Last season, Palermo and Parma have always been competitors in European competitions. At the beginning of this season, Parma and Palermo faced each other and were also the scheduler, and wanted to watch a lively game on purpose.

I originally thought that such an arrangement would be a lively battle, but no one expected that Parma would completely suppress Palermo from the beginning of the game.

"Parma showed unimaginable strength in this game. Palermo did not have enough strength to cross the midfield, and their wing was completely suppressed by Parma. They seemed to be unable to fight Parma at all..."

Last season, when Parma and Palermo played football, both sides played 3-3. Although Parma was able to break through Palermo's goal repeatedly at that time, their defense was penetrated by Palermo many times. However, this time, the situation changed a lot. Parma's three midfielders completely told the opponent what it means to be like a block. Sometimes there were some loopholes in the sweep of Toure and Melo. However, at this time, after Parma set up a Tacinadi in the midfield, he connected the back line back, and the forward two central front-lines, and the left and right ends were connected to two sides. He added the most important link of Parma, which also made Parma's lineup more impeccable.

In the game against Palermo, Palermo gave up resisting almost just after halftime. This summer, they sold a lot of people. Parma, who originally thought it was a heavy bleeding, would be difficult to resist, but who knew that when the two sides fought, Parma completely suppressed them.

The game was spent under such a situation. At the beginning of the second half, Parma finally scored its first goal. After a series of cooperation in the frontcourt, Rui Costa's straight pass was passed into the penalty area. Milito, who got the opportunity, turned around and got rid of it, and scored Parma's first goal.

After scoring the goal, Parma's attack became even more fierce, but because of their own anxiety, they were unable to score the goal. Until the end of the game, Cruyvert, who was on the bench, passed back to Rossi with a shot, Rossi's shot turned the score 2-0.

Parma won the first game like this. Although the team still did not have enough tacit understanding, they still won a 2-0 victory.

Compared with their score, what is more interesting is the extraordinary momentum they show and the situation where they have the upper hand is even more surprising.

"Parma's strength is amazing. In their first game, they defeated Palermo with a completely suppressed kick. This season is worth looking forward to. On the contrary, Palermo's strength has declined so well this season, and they played poorly. They were actually suppressed by Parma in the whole game and played very unsatisfactory..."

In the newspaper, there was immediate appreciation for Parma and criticism of Palermo, but Palermo quickly proved that their strength was not bad. In the second round, when Palermo met Inter Milan, he knocked off Inter Milan with a clean 1-0 game.

Obviously, it is not that Palermo is too weak, but that Parma is too strong.
