Li Bin made a rare public statement saying that Serie A has lost its competitiveness and is no longer worthy of being conquered, which caused an uproar throughout Italy. The Italians themselves have said this frequently in the past two years. They also believe that among the older generation,
After the stars grow old, the new generation of Italian strength
No more, and in the 1990s, any of the seven sisters in Serie A was a well-known team in the European competition. But now, let alone the seven sisters, even among the top three in the north, only one Milan can score points in the Champions League.
It is undisputed that Serie A has declined.
However, Li Bin, as a foreigner and a foreigner who has already won the Serie A championship, made the Italian media very unhappy when he said this. If he had not won the Serie A championship, they could have said that Li Bin was
Jealousy means sour grapes, but Li Bin won the championship. He said this again, which made Serie A a little embarrassed: they didn't want to just admit that Li Bin was telling the truth.
"Li Bin is just making excuses for his possible poor performance next season. He himself also knows that scoring 100 points and winning the championship undefeated is a miracle that is difficult to replicate. This season, Roma, Florence, Milan,
Inter Milan has strengthened, Juventus has also been resurrected, and six of the seven sisters are already very competitive. He is afraid of failure, so he speaks like this."
The media quickly gave a reason for Li Bin to say this. However, after seeing Li Bin's 100-point score in the league last season, saying that it would be difficult for him to win the league again makes people feel that this is true.
Somewhat unconvincing.
What made the media even more uncomfortable was that not long after the media had finished talking about Parma's decline in strength, Parma once again won the Italian Super Cup.
August 5th is the start day of this Italian Super Cup. As last season’s Serie A champion and last season’s Italian Cup champion, Parma and Roma will be the opponents of this game. Parma was in the Italian Super Cup last season.
In the cup competition, Roma happened to be
Eliminated, when the two teams met, people originally thought that this would be a quite exciting battle between dragons and tigers, but no one expected that the game was not as beautiful as they imagined. Parma used a clean and neat
3-0, knocking Roma off his horse.
Roma lost to Parma in the Italian Super Cup. This is not unusual. Parma did not lose a game last season. In the Champions League, it also reached the semi-finals. A team of this level, from the perspective of Italy,
This season, at least at the beginning of the season, should maintain its original state.
They are still very strong, so winning is certainly not a problem. However, even if Parma won in the past, they did not have the ability to win so easily: Roma is also a strong team, especially in the first half of the season, they faced difficulties
When it comes to any team, no one is afraid of it, and can let go of the opponent's attack.
Inter Milan's only two defeats this season were given to them by these two teams, and Parma lost a total of two games in all competitions, that is, Milan and Roma defeated them. And this season, this is still
At the beginning of the season, when their team has sufficient physical strength, they are at their strongest.
When they are strong, the season has not yet started, and most of their players do not have the task of the America's Cup. Physically, they are better than Parma, and because they have played in the Champions League play-offs, they have to enter the state earlier and play harder.
Excellent, it’s not surprising that we won originally, but why did we lose 0-3?
This game has also become the focus of many researchers. Two teams in Milan, the Turin team, and other teams have all studied this game.
.
The coaches of each team quickly made their judgments.
"Parma's strength is really stronger." After watching Parma's playing style, Ancelotti also sighed.
"Why?" Tassotti beside him was a little unconvinced.
It's not that Tassotti can't see Parma's strength, it's just that he doesn't like Parma's approach. As an old guard during the Milan dynasty, he has always been proud of the Milan dynasty's undefeated championship, and Parma tied theirs.
After the results, he immediately said that Serie A was no longer interesting, which always bothered him.
"Look, if you look at Li Bin's tactical arrangements, you can tell that this guy's ideas are out of control."
In this game, Parma chose to let Frei guard the goal, Grosso, Agger, Cannavaro Jr. and Zabaleta formed the defense line. The midfielder remained the same, while the forward line was
It was Milito and Cavani working together as a partner. This can be said to be a very standard Parma 4312, but in terms of specific tactics, people quickly saw the difference.
At the beginning of the game, Parma launched a fierce attack. Cavani, as the starting forward, quickly cruised in the center at the beginning of the game. When the ball was passed to Pizarro's feet, Cavani immediately
He rushed forward and tried to grab the ball.
Suppressing the midfielder, interrupting the connection, and strangling Roma's attack immediately - this is Parma's greatest experience in beating Roma.
However, Pizarro did not panic because of this. He ran away a little, but not very fast. Instead, he lured Cavani to grab him. Cavani immediately chased after him, and Pizarro immediately turned his head.
, kicked the ball towards Juan behind him.
Juan received the ball, took a step forward, and kicked the ball out. In front of him, De Rossi received the ball and immediately passed it out.
Before the season, Li Bin believed that Juan would be of great help to Roma, but he did not expect such an immediate effect. As expected, Roma made tactical changes: Li Bin habitually let the team attack quickly as soon as they started, and Pisa suppressed the opponent's waist.
Ronaldo, thus forcing Roma out of touch, failed this time. Juan took a step forward and got the ball. When Parma pressed, De Rossi directly gave the ball to Juan, and they were in the midfield.
There is an extra connection point.
This arrangement is really clever: Juan's ability is not bad, and the unique skills of Brazilian players allow him to control the ball in the midfield position. After getting the ball, he can help Roma get in, which makes Roma
The attack is even more outstanding.
Last season, they were quite embarrassed by Parma's fast attack style of play in the first fifteen minutes. Obviously, this season, they are no longer willing to suffer this disadvantage.
This was something Li Bin didn't expect. He lost the opportunity to suppress his opponent in the first step, so he could only let Parma retreat.
"Did you see that Parma did not choose to attack Roma, but immediately chose to recover after failing to score a goal in the opening game. This is not like Parma's usual style." Ancelotti said, pointing to the video of the game.
With.
"How can that explain anything? Maybe their players are too tired and don't want to play football properly?"
What he said made Ancelotti feel helpless, and he motioned Tassotti to continue reading.
Obviously, Li Bin wants to see if his team can defend the opponent's fierce attack when it shrinks its defense. There are not many teams in Serie A that can attack fiercely now. I don't know what Inter Milan will be like.
, anyway, Milan will not attack fiercely since Shevchenko left, so it is best to use Roma's crazy attacks to test their defense.
Therefore, in the next period of time, Parma did not choose to attack again, and most of their forces were concentrated near the midfield.
"Now, can you see the changes in them?" Ancelotti asked.
"They have reduced the use of two full-backs now. The full-backs are less forward and more active near the midfield to participate in defense... The zigzag defense line and the inverted triangle midfield defense are really bold."
Tassotti is the leading defensive master in Serie A. In terms of defensive tactics, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is among the top three in the world. When he carefully observed Parma's defense, he immediately came out. What Ancelotti said is
What's up.
The four players on Parma's defense are now arranged in a zigzag pattern. This is an extremely rare defensive type.
Generally speaking, there are three main defensive formations in football: one is a parallel position with four defenders, and the other is a concave position, with the center back retreating and the fullback advancing—these two types are also used in football games.
, as two common ways of matching - and in addition, there is another kind, which is a triangle position with three people behind and one person in advance.
However, these positions all have big problems. The parallel positions are weak on the wings, and they dare not use clingy and slow handling when defending. They are almost useless in the midfield. The concave position requires players to have a sense of position.
It is high, but it relies on midfield protection. If it is not a double midfielder, it is seeking death. If it is a triangle position, the defensive depth is poor, it is easy to be eaten alive by the midfielder, and there is a lack of help.
In the past, Parma used more of a concave defense, but now, Parma uses a more surprising zigzag position. Tassotti can certainly see how difficult this position is.
No matter how old you are, he can understand and play like this
, what kind of courage is this - the zigzag defensive line, there are four basic tactical defensive changes, and coupled with an inverted triangle position of the midfielder group, there are even more changes, left, left center,
Center, center right, right, the attack methods are changeable, and can even reach
Above, it is impossible to judge which line will be the main direction of attack, and it is impossible to judge where the weak link of defense is in this formation. This kind of playing style that can be adjusted and changed at any time can really be said to be unpredictable.
It's impossible to estimate. Coupled with the players' excellent execution ability, this is basically a formation that will make anyone scratch their head.
In the design of the defensive formation, so many attack concepts must be considered, and at the same time, they must have strong defense power. Even Tassotti secretly admires this kind of setting ability.
"So I say, this guy is even stronger this season." Ancelotti said, "At the end of last season, he only took care of the changes in the midfield, but now he has begun to make significant changes in the backcourt.
Terrible guy."
"Change is not necessarily a good thing. If you don't change well, you may kill yourself. The zigzag position is not that easy to use, and they may not use it well."
"So they contracted a lot, tightened their positions, and used a closer position to shorten the running distance, so that the players can perform better." Ancelotti immediately said, "This guy is not good at all.
Silly, he knows this needs to be done slowly."
"Indeed, if we really have such a good defense, it won't be difficult to win."
Although Tassotti didn't like Parma, he spoke very straightforwardly. As a defensive expert, when he saw such a defense, he immediately expressed his opinion.
"That's not what scares me the most. What scares me the most is that their frontcourt has become stronger again."
