At the beginning of the season, when the team was training, Li Bin also called Esposito and discussed with him in detail the general preparations for this season.
"Have you already thought about your goals for next season?" Esposito was also very interested in this question, "Tell me what our goals are."
"First of all, we need to win a league championship." Li Bin said, "We won the championship trophy last season, but none of our players seemed very satisfied."
"I'm not satisfied either. It's better not to win this championship. Now people outside are laughing at us, saying that other people's championships were won on the court, while our championship was awarded by the Football Association sitting at home."
"Let them laugh at it. Why didn't the Football Association give it to them? Isn't it because we were good enough to get second place? Why not give the championship to Venice instead of us? Why should anyone give us the championship if we don't have the ability?
"Li Bin sneered, and then calmed down, "But, I think, next season, it is time for us to compete for the league championship.
The call has just passed, and Juventus is still making a fuss. And as you know, the left and right are quite violent. I wonder how many days the leftist cabinet can support it. At this time, the league does not dare to go too far.
We finally hope to have a relatively fair league environment, and this season, we must try to compete for the league championship no matter what."
"Actually, it's just because you are unhappy about being scolded by Inter Milan, right?"
After Parma won the championship, the whole of Italy has been criticizing Parma. The most common criticism is naturally that it is ugly, getting something for nothing, and enjoying the gains. Some of them are criticized by the media of Inter Milan, and some are criticized by Juventus and AC.
The media in Milan scolded me.
Although the Holy Alliance scolded them happily, they have also hit rock bottom and there is no time to deal with them now. While Inter Milan scolds them together, Parma can make them regret even more.
Li Bin shook his head, "There is a reason for this, but it is not the biggest reason. I am the head coach of the team, and I can't waste our efforts for a year just because of anger. I think more
, it still starts from the team’s current strength.”
This is also true.
Last season, although they won the championship, Parma's players were not satisfied with it. Instead, they all wanted to work hard. The championship issued by the Football Association has a really bad reputation. They all wanted to win a real championship again.
A true champion won on the court.
Therefore, Parma's current fighting spirit is very good, especially when competing for the championship in the league. They are willing to go all out. And their fighting spirit, coupled with Parma's strength, also makes Li Bin feel that he should bet on it.
Bet on the league championship.
Although I remember Inter Milan as the dominant team this season, that is because I am not in my memory. Since I can win the championship from Inter Milan once, I can win the second one. In my memory, because of Calciopoli, other teams
Inter Milan suffered a serious setback. They no longer have the Holy Alliance as their enemy. Firstly, they have no opponents. Secondly, after becoming invincible, their mentality is great. They have played a very beautiful season. But now, Parma is enough to become their strong enemy.
It's not that easy to be a single family.
"We haven't suffered much changes this season. Our players have grown up by one year and have practiced together for one more year. Their strength will definitely be further improved. We scored 85 points last season, which is still a good score.
If this season goes well, I think it can go up a bit more - after all, Juventus has been relegated, Milan,
Fiorentina deducted points. Their focus is definitely not on the league. In the league, the only terrible ones are Inter Milan and Roma. Our strength has improved again. I want to try to challenge the score of 90 points. If
If everything goes well, I personally think that 30 wins, 6 draws, 2 losses, and 96 points is a suitable score."
"Are you crazy? A score of 90 points..." Esposito wanted to say something, but he still did not argue directly. "A score of 90 points means that it will be a crushing level for most teams in the entire league.
Our concept does have certain advantages, but
After all, football games are prone to accidents. Any small accident may cause problems throughout the season. The goal of 90 points is really too high. I personally think that 85 points is still a more reasonable goal. We
It can be achieved, and it won’t be difficult.”
"We'll see, I don't think this goal is very high."
Li Bin knew the reason for Esposito's doubts. After all, they came from the 1990s and didn't know what it meant to be a dominant player. In their view, it was very rare to win 80 points or higher, and the championship with 90 points
, which is something you don’t encounter in ten years.
But Li Bin doesn't think so. Before the Bosman Act, the difference in team strength was much smaller. It was indeed rare to crush the league. But the group of people before the Bosman Act have basically retired.
Now, the new era is different from the old era.
Is it difficult to win a league championship with 90 points? It’s just that they are not used to seeing league champions with high scores. However, in Li Bin, let alone 90 points, he has seen more than one team win the championship with 100 points.
Of course he is more courageous than Esposito to set goals.
"If you don't have 90 points, don't even think about winning the championship. Inter Milan's lineup has expanded greatly this season, and their strength will be beyond imagination. I think that a score of 90 points may not be safe enough. We must score higher."
.”
Li Bin now feels a little regretful.
I have known about the phone calls for a long time, and I have also known that I will be the enemy of Inter Milan this season. Why don't I think of ways to weaken Inter Milan? If I had thought about helping Ibrahimovic contact the La Liga team earlier, let him
He went to La Liga, then recommended Maicon and Maxwell to the Premier League team, and demolished the wings of Inter Milan. So, what is the current Inter Milan afraid of? Without Ibrahimovic and Maicon, how could Mancini play?
than yourself?
But it was a mistake to focus on profiting for oneself and forget to cause trouble for future competitors. If it were arranged early, how could Inter Milan still be Parma's opponent this season? Maybe, after Juventus, it will be Parma's turn.
Dominated the Serie A.
He still only thinks about strengthening his own team and rarely considers weakening his opponents. This makes him lack of thinking and will make competition in the league very troublesome. However, having said that, by weakening his competitors,
Rather than making yourself stronger to win the championship, winning such a championship is just a mess and doesn't mean much.
Because of these missteps, what he needs to consider this season is how to make the team compete with Inter Milan, which has become very strong now.
Inter Milan is determined to win the championship this season, especially Ibrahimovic. First he lost the championship, and then he was completely unexpected by Li Bin regarding the transfer. He lost a lot of face. Now he is holding back his anger and thinking.
When it comes to facing off against Parma, Li Bin shows no mercy when they deal with them. In the new season, although Juventus, the imba monster, no longer exists, Inter Milan has a strong army and is equally difficult to deal with.
"Ninety points is really a scary number." Esposito also praised this, "If the goal of the league is 90 points, then should we consider it in the cup?
A little closer?"
"My idea is, at least the top 16, preferably the top eight, and strive for the semi-finals - this is the end. It's better not to think about the championship." Li Bin came back, "The Champions League is not as good as the UEFA Cup.
, the competition is much fiercer, and we are fighting against strong opponents. I
We have never played in the Champions League, and there is a huge difference in experience. We are not familiar with the penalty scale and the rhythm of the game. Moreover, playing with different countries and different styles is very dangerous, so it is a little bit
Let’s keep it low, let’s gain experience first.”
Li Bin is not arrogant enough to think that he can win a championship in the Champions League in his first year - yes, some people have done it, such as Mourinho, but after all, it can only be done with a lot of luck.
Arrived. Li Bin doesn’t think he is very lucky.
People, the Champions League is a gathering of powerful players from all over the world. The top four of the Premier League, the two teams of La Liga, Bayern, Lyon, and the two teams of Milan are all here. Against them, no one dares to say that Parma will win. Li
Naturally, Bin also felt that it would be better to be a little more cautious.
Of course, no matter how safe it is, the top 16 is a must. If we can't enter the semi-finals, go home in the group stage or play in the UEFA Cup again, if we really get a small dynasty in the UEFA Cup, Li Bin himself will go crazy.
When it comes to pursuit - Parma is now a second-tier team. Li Bin thinks that with a little hard work and good luck, he may be able to win the first place in the group. And if it is the first place in the group, then Parma
You can also consider entering the quarterfinals.
However, after entering the top eight, it will be more difficult to go further. There are no weak teams in the top four. Considering the arrogance of the Premier League in the past two years, if you want to enter the top four, you will probably have to fight a certain Premier League team.
It's okay to try hard, but it's not an easy thing for Parma.
However, give it a try, you can’t be timid before fighting. Don’t have too much hope, lest you be disappointed, but when you have the opportunity, you can’t not take a bite. Although the English team is strong, it is not invincible.
To win, if you really fight to the death, you may not be able to win.
"If we want to play in the Champions League and the league at the same time, then the task is probably still very heavy. In this way, we should not play the Coppa Italia."
Li Bin nodded, which also made Esposito feel relieved. The Italian Cup is a bit useless for teams that can compete in the Champions League. There are many games and little honors, so the championship is really meaningless.
"If everything goes well, what we will win next season is the league championship and a good European record. My requirements are not high, so this is enough to satisfy me."
"It's not just these," Esposito said, "There's also the Italian Super Cup and the European Super Cup."
"You really want to win five crowns." Li Bin smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I don't even know if this Italian Super Cup is important..."
It stands to reason that the Coppa Italia Super Cup pits the league champion against the cup champion, and in the double crown, it pits the cup champion against each other. But this year, Juventus has been relegated, which means that the cup champion plays against the cup champion. The whole thing is
The third round of the Coppa Italia. There is so much chaos here that Li Bin is too lazy to think about it.
"The Coppa Italia is easy to win, but what about the European Super Cup? They are in some trouble. Barcelona is still quite strong..."
"Just in time, let's get them to inspect the goods." Li Bin said, "Dream Team 2...Okay, let's help them wake up from their dream!"
