At the end of August, Parma also ushered in their first European game of the season.
This game is completely different from the game against Roma. When playing against Roma, their opponents were not as strong as them. Before the game, the media's tone was more in favor of Parma, but in this game
, when playing against Barcelona, the media's tone was all in favor of Barcelona.
Li Bin sometimes feels that the European Super Cup is probably the most one-sided game in the world with media commentary. Although they are both theoretically European champions, the difference between the Champions League champion and the UEFA Cup champion is really huge.
It’s too big. Last year, Parma faced Liverpool, who were lucky enough to win the championship. They were all said to be worthless. This year, they faced a team like Barcelona that claims to be a dream team, and they were naturally looked down upon.
A lot.
Yes, in Serie A, they are strong contenders for the championship. But how can they be ranked in front of the world's top powers like Barcelona?
"Although Parma is not a weak team, the huge gap between them and Barcelona is like a chasm."
This is the most common comment in the media. It’s no wonder that although Parma won the Serie A championship, everyone knows that their championship was not achieved by defeating their opponents, and Barcelona’s double championship was ahead of the competition.
Defeating Real Madrid by 13 points, they easily won the league title, and then defeated Arsenal in the Champions League to win the Champions League Gold Cup. Their strength
It is recognized that it is indeed better than Parma. The Champions League championship itself is extremely rare. It is even more rare to win the Champions League and the league championship at the same time. In addition, the offensive team's
Winning the Champions League is even more difficult. Compared with them, Parma, who have been in the UEFA Cup for two consecutive years, seems a bit inferior.
Moreover, not to mention, Barcelona also has Ronaldinho and Messi, who have attracted much attention across Europe. The Spanish media regarded them as the old and new generation of football kings - although, in this World Cup trip, Ronaldinho was not able to get what he wanted.
World Cup, to vindicate oneself, but there are too many reasons for the failure of the World Cup. Ronaldinho cannot be blamed all on him.
Although it has been criticized a lot, its reputation is not bad. In addition, Messi is the most dazzling among the many Maradona reincarnations in Argentina, and he is also favored by others. Parma has many players who are favored, but Messi has not reached the level of Messi.
But there is no one of Xi's level. Just by looking at it, you can know how strong they are.
In the eyes of the outside world, Parma's game against Barcelona is 80% unlucky. It is estimated that they just arrived in Monaco and played the game, which means that the emphasis is on participation. But within the Parma team, everyone knows very well that Li Bin
He proposed that he would use the Barcelona flag to declare his goals for the new season. After this game, he would officially declare war on Inter Milan. This made several of his friends stunned and felt that Li Bin was too much.
Arrogant.
"That's Barcelona. Although we are very strong, our opponents are so cruel. How can you be sure of victory?"
Esposito didn't understand this very much. He suggested to Li Bin that he should get the news out before the game. If he loses the game - which in his opinion is very likely to be lost -
-At that time, if you said you would resign if you failed, it would be a blow to your own morale.
But Li Bin has a different opinion from him: in Li Bin's view, it is just Barcelona's second dream.
From the perspective of people in 2006, Dream Team II was of course the most outstanding team. In the past year, Milan lost to them, Chelsea lost to them, Arsenal lost to them, and Real Madrid even more
It goes without saying that it is extremely difficult for an offensive team to defeat strong opponents repeatedly. Barcelona has great football scenes and strength, so it is naturally highly touted. It is hailed as the second dream team and is known as invincible.
However, in Li Bin's heart, they are just the second dream team. Although the second dream team is strong, their current tactical style is still extremely immature compared to the third dream team that will dominate Europe in the future. Barcelona still has not broken away.
The shackles of traditional Spanish and Dutch football are still
It is an old-fashioned attacking style of football. They are strong not because of their strong tactics, but because of the excellent players on their team. However, no matter how outstanding the players are, they may be limited by tactics, not to mention the current Barcelona's
There is no telling whether a player is in good condition or not.
This is no longer the 2005-06 season. Now that the World Cup has just ended, people don’t have this awareness yet, and they all think that Barcelona is still in the strongest state, but Li Bin knows very well in his heart that this Barcelona, after the World Cup, because
Ronaldinho was out of form and declining day by day. How did he fall step by step? At the end of the season, he lost to Real Madrid and was counterattacked by Real Madrid to win the championship. In my memory, they first lost a cup match at the beginning of the season - I can't remember it was in Europe.
The Super Cup is still the League Cup - and then, he
They lost the Club World Cup again, and then they lost the league. Ever since, they began to completely discredit Ronaldinho, support Messi to rise to the top, and embark on the path of Dream Three. But these things, even after knowing it, they all
I find it incredible that the top player in my team
It takes courage to destroy members and build a new core. Even in later generations, there will be endless debates about this. What's more, now, when they are at the height of their power, do you think they have gone downhill? I'm afraid there won't be a second one in Europe.
I believe Li Bin’s prediction.
But Li Bin knew that he would not make a mistake in his judgment, and his memory was the best evidence. Since he knew that his opponent was not in good condition, and what he was going to fight was just a sick tiger, then, what else was there to be afraid of?
What's more, in my memory, Barcelona was studied by various teams because of its strong strength and dominance in Europe, and they were searching for how to deal with them. And some of these teams actually developed some tricks that were enough to defeat Barcelona.
Tactics. Those things, in a previous life,
Li Bin didn't understand much about what he saw, but he had a deep impression. Now thinking about what happened back then, and combining it with Barcelona's current football style, he can also estimate Barcelona's football to be close to ten - since the opponent is not in shape,
He also has clever tricks to deal with his opponents, so why should he be anxious?
Not only is there no need to rush, but this is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself.
So what if the opponent is very strong? The stronger the team is as my stepping stone, the more stable I will be.
After experiencing games with Everton and Valencia, Li Bin's confidence has become stronger and stronger.
This season, Parma has the Champions League to play in, and will finally play against powerful players from all walks of life. At this time, we can no longer be timid and hesitant to move forward. Now, it is our turn to let the world know us!
"Hello everyone, this is the scene of the European Super Cup. This game is between the Champions League champion Barcelona and the UEFA Cup champion Parma. The game has just begun. Now Barcelona has taken the initiative. They have been in the game for a long time.
If you get the ball, you could attack Parma at any time."
While the commentator was talking, Li Bin rarely sat on the sidelines. Normally, he likes to stand on the sidelines, getting closer and watching more lightly, but this time, he didn't do that. He did it.
On the coach's bench, he didn't get up to watch the game.
"Why did you sit down?" Esposito asked.
"It won't look too good now. There's no need to stand up and watch."
Barcelona is really similar to the Barcelona I remember. Their forward line is the trident of Eto'o, Ronaldinho, and Messi, and in the midfield, it is Xavi, Deco, and this
Marquez, who played as a defensive midfielder in every game. On their back line, Van Bronckhorst, Oleg, Puyol and Gianluca Zambrotta lined up from left to right. The goalkeeper is still Barr.
Des.
This season, Barcelona has made some reinforcements. They introduced Gianluca Zambrotta, the main player of Juventus, to strengthen their right back position originally played by Belletti and enhance their defensive capabilities.
But they don't have more reinforcements. Now, in this game, they replaced the newly joined Zambrotta, and they also want to use Zambrotta's strength to put some restrictions on Parma.
The forward line they are proud of has not changed much, which also relieved some of Li Bin's worries before the game. Now that he knows that his opponent has not changed in particular, Li Bin is no longer anxious.
He sat on the sidelines and watched the game quite comfortably.
"The offense of the Barcelona team is very good. They have a group of world-class offensive players. Their players have excellent skills and rich experience and can use the best playing methods to win. Their frontcourt personnel are not fixed and flexible.
The versatility makes it difficult for opponents to defend themselves. Once their offensive starts, it is unrivaled. They...oh, Parma succeeded in counterattacking, but Barcelona's offensive did not start."
At this time, the commentator wanted to slap himself twice. Just now he saw Parma's formation, which had been suppressed to the backcourt and contracted very tightly. He thought that Parma would be dead as soon as they came up, and Barcelona was going to stage a massacre. However,
Who would have known that after he said so many words, Barcelona passed the ball back and forth more than a dozen times, but still failed to score the ball. Instead, Parma counterattacked, which made him resent Barcelona's attack.
.
However, despite this, he still stands on Barcelona's side. After all, Barcelona seems to have a better chance of winning.
"Now Parma is being suppressed very much. The way they play makes me unable to see the shadow of a strong team. With such a way of playing, what are they thinking... Parma's counterattack! Yaya Toure
!Zabaleta! Rossi! Milito! Missed!"
While the commentator was talking, Parma launched a quick counterattack. In less than ten seconds, their ball went from the backcourt to Milito's feet and completed a shot. Although the shot did not go in, they still did the same, allowing
The opponent was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
Li Bin also smiled on the sidelines: As I said against Barcelona, I have multiple play styles. This is our first meeting, and I don’t dare to overdo it. So, let me show you how to use quick counterattacks.
