On February 18, Parma made another rotation in the league match against Sampdoria. They won the game effortlessly, but the entire league knew that Parma's focus had long been gone.
This game is on top.
In the Champions League, Parma will also face their first-round opponent Arsenal.
Parma once had a very glorious period in history, but unfortunately, even in their most glorious days, they never performed well in the Champions League. They once played in the Champions League, but the result was that they were eliminated in the group.
, to this day, if you count, Parma has won many awards such as the League, UEFA Cup, Super Cup, Cup Winners' Cup, etc., and the only thing they don't have is a Champions League championship. Therefore, when the Champions League comes, Parma
Of course I will be very attentive.
Of course, people do not think that Parma will definitely be able to win the Champions League this season. However, even if they fail to win the Champions League, people are also paying close attention to whether Parma will make a breakthrough in the Champions League. As time goes by, people
I also realized that Li Bin is a coach with great ambitions, and no good coach will ignore the European war. Whether he can achieve results in the European war is also of great concern to the media.
However, Parma's fortune is indeed not very good. The opponent they drew was Arsenal, a strong team in the Premier League. As one of the top four in the Premier League, Arsenal is quite powerful. Against such a team, so is Parma.
Facing a lot of pressure.
"I don't think the pressure is on us. Arsenal is indeed a very strong team, but don't forget, they are only the top four in the Premier League. Compared with us, they are not necessarily the dominant side.
Just because the Premier League teams are strong in the Champions League does not mean that they will definitely be able to defeat us. Arsenal has always been a weak team in the European wars. If they were drawn, it might be a good thing for us."
Privately, when Li Bin was talking to Esposito, his evaluation of the draw result was quite good, "Arsenal won the Champions League runner-up last year, which made people think they might 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.
- Another time in Monaco - He has never been a coach who is good at playing in the Champions League. In the ten years since Wenger took over Arsenal, both the league and Manchester United have been having a great time, but in the Champions League
, except for the runner-up this time, our best result is the quarterfinals. Playing with them in the Champions League, our chances of winning are still not small."
Since the new century, the Premier League has been extremely strong in the Champions League. Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United—they have four teams that can compete for European points for the Premier League in the league. Moreover, because the league broadcast rights are sold
Well, the advertising is also well done, the Premier League's revenue
The income is much higher than that of other major leagues. If you have money, there will naturally be people. Although the Premier League has always been regarded as the roughest league in football, due to continuous large investment, the Premier League is full of people from all over the world.
, allowing their strength to develop by leaps and bounds.
Compared with Serie A, the income of the Premier League teams is much higher, and they naturally have better strength. Li Bin plans to go to the Premier League in the future, which is also related to this environment - in memory,
In the future, the Premier League achieved an income figure of more than 90 million pounds shared by the relegation teams. At the same time, Malaga in La Liga went bankrupt because it could not pay wages. In Serie A, even the Milan duo could not reach this income. Such
The large gap makes the Premier League extremely strong.
However, being strong in the Premier League does not mean that every team is strong. How to spend the money you have is also a big problem. Teams such as Manchester United and Chelsea use the money to buy people and increase salary levels, which makes them
The team is extremely strong, but because Arsenal built a new stadium, the team's assets are negative. Now, although Arsenal has the third highest revenue in Europe, they don't have much money to spend on buying people. Their signings,
It really can't be said to be outstanding.
In this summer, the players they bought were Alexander Song, Brazilian midfielder Denilson, Germany's Rosicky, and Ashley Cole was replaced by Gallas and Sterling, and Reyes was replaced by Baptista.
.And among the players they left, there were Laurent, Reyes, Cole, and
There are Pires and others. Last season they were able to reach the Champions League final, but this season, their left and right wings have all been changed. The players have changed a lot compared to before, and their strength has declined. Li Bin
I believe 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 taken the wrong path in recent years."
Before the game, Li Bin was also ready to analyze Arsenal, but many of his analyzes made Esposito find it difficult to accept.
"Many people say that the rise of Arsenal depends on coach Wenger's vision and knowing how to recruit people from 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 competition between Arsenal and Manchester United, they had a leftover defense line of their own, the top five defenders in the Premier League. And their three most important signings, Bergkamp,
Henry and Vieira were not imported from small leagues. These three people happened to be imported from one of the top three teams in the north - at the end of the 1990s, Serie A was at its peak, and the top three in the north were at a high momentum.
, some players couldn’t play in the game, and the most critical signing of Wenger’s Arsenal was achieved by buying players in Serie A, which was in full swing at the time.”
"Many people say that Arsenal bought players who did not perform well in Serie A. They were bought by Arsenal because they could not play in Serie A, but if you look carefully at these transactions, you will see
I found that this was not the case, so I specifically looked for newspapers at the time and looked carefully at the reasons for the transfer of the three people."
"When Vieira was in Milan, before the Bosman Act, only three foreign players could play in each game. At that time, Milan had six foreign players. Desailly, Wehe and Savicevic were the main players, and the first
The substitute is Boban, and Vieira is a young man. His chances are the same as Fortre's. They are both rotations, but he has bad luck. Italy
He was allowed to play in the cup, but it happened to be against Juventus, and he was asked to mark Zidane - Zidane in the late 1990s. Naturally, he was completely blown away by the audience, and he lost the opportunity and went to Arsenal.
Na. He was not disappointed in Serie A, it was just because of the unlucky foreign aid regulations and the fact that he met people he shouldn't have met that he looked bad."
"The same goes for Henry. Many people said that Henry did not play well in Serie A, so he went to the Premier League. But in fact, Henry scored consecutive goals in his last two games with Juventus, and media reports at the time said,
He is a 'rising star'. Arsenal bought him at a record price, not a bargain price."
"And Bergkamp was unwilling to play defensive football at Inter Milan. At that time, Inter Milan was in chaos and he was even asked to play as a defensive midfielder. In addition, he had a disagreement with Ruben Sosa and thought Ruben Sosa was too clingy.
Football, this is the main reason. And he doesn't like the Italian media. He thinks that the Italian media doesn't care enough about him. The most ridiculous thing to say is that his wife has been ignored by the media. There is no media to interview his wife, so he went to England.
"
"Including Anelka, we now say that Wenger discovered Anelka, but at that time, Paris Saint-Germain was a giant in Ligue 1. They played with us in the Cup Winners' Cup final, entered the Champions League semi-finals, and
There are super players such as Weah. At that time, Ligue 1 was the second league, and they said it was poaching people from small leagues, just like I am buying Manchester United's Ronaldo now, and claiming to have a unique vision - what is so unique about this?"
"To sum up, what does the rise of Arsenal rely on? It relies on the tireless introduction of overlooked good players from more excellent leagues. The Premier League in the 1990s was a backward area, and many of them could not play well in Serie A.
You can play well wherever you go, Zola and the others have done it, Arsenal has grown up in this way, and Wenger likes to poach fellow players. At the end of the 1990s, the strength of the French team was firmly among the top three in the world.
, except Brazil can
Compared with France, there is really no comparison with other teams. French players, even if they are not the main players of the national team, are still very strong. At that time, recruiting some down-and-out French stars would naturally lead to success. But now France’s youth training is going the wrong way.
Road, only focusing on physical fitness, where else can anyone be poached in France? If Wenger poaches a fellow countryman, something will happen. Wenger does have a good eye and has taken a fancy to many good players, but in that Arsenal team, Ashley Coe
Earl Henry Vieira,
Where did Pires, including Campbell, come from? They did not come from the minor leagues. He was able to recruit Pires, Ljungberg, and Toure, which is great, but it does not mean that Arsenal can always make the right bet.
Oh - he is not me. After successive successful purchases, he was too conceited about his own vision. He wanted to dig out potential children from the minor leagues and train them, so that Arsenal could win the championship with less money. However,
He forgot the last opening
At first, the players he bought were not new stars in the minor leagues, but frustrated players from the big teams. The difference between the two was quite big. It was not that difficult to train frustrated stars. Players from the minor leagues definitely had their own characteristics.
There are various shortcomings, such as the playing environment, training conditions, habits, diet, youth training in minor leagues and major leagues are not comparable. Wenger trusts his children too much. His arrogance is detrimental to his own team.
The impact is huge.”
"Wenger has no choice. How can he catch up with the team to build a stadium? Building a stadium costs a lot of money. No matter what, it is difficult to ensure that the team has money to spend." Esposi
Tuo ignored Li Bin's boasting.
This is not a matter of lack of money - Li Bin did not say it out loud. It is okay to talk about people's football philosophy behind their backs, but it is too disrespectful to Wenger. If it is because he has no money and does not want to buy people, then it is nothing, but
, because there is no money, even when the team players renewed their contracts, Ashley Cole was forced to fall out because of the difference in weekly salary of 5,000 pounds. This is somewhat unkind. Every coach is coaching a team.
, there are all
Li Bin, who adheres to his own philosophy, believes that coach Wenger’s requirement of signing one contract per year for those over 30 years old and his strict control of weekly salary are a bit paranoid. Times have changed, and the salary levels of players
All have been raised. If you don’t raise the salaries of the players, how can you retain talents? One signing per year for those over 30 years old is a bit too rigid. This is Arsenal. If Milan does this, the workload of renewing the contract every year will be too much.
How big...
There is obviously something wrong with Wenger's philosophy.
Li Bin also buys young people, but when he buys people, he has always bought three generations of old, middle-aged and young people. He only buys young people. He relies on a group of children to play football. It looks beautiful, but the reality is not FM. It cannot be played like this.
.
"Arsenal's philosophy has gone awry. They are no longer good enough to compete with us. Let us tell them what a truly outstanding team is!"
