When the Champions League draw results came out, the whole of Europe was in an uproar: In the past few seasons, although there have been some strong dialogues in the Champions League games that started early in the top 16 games, after all, this is still
It's rare, but this season is great. In the top 16, there were a lot of strong dialogues at once, which surprised the whole of Europe.
Liverpool and Inter Milan, Chelsea and Barcelona, Milan and Arsenal, plus Real Madrid and Roma, the powerful dialogue between these teams will set the whole of Europe on fire.
"This will be the most beautiful Champions League round of 16 match in the past few years. The dialogue between the four strong groups will make this year's Champions League much more exciting than before."
Of course the media likes this situation very much: a strong-power dialogue always means a big topic. The more powerful the dialogue is, the more the media can say. A strong-power dialogue can
Rendering before the game, summarizing after the game, looking for stories, telling past events, and finding out many stories. Any strong dialogue is the focus of people's discussion, let alone so many in one breath?
Of course, there are also many people who are dissatisfied with this result: at least, the giants in Europe are already in a state of chaos: the competition between the giants has always been difficult, and such a strong dialogue means affirmation
There are wealthy teams that are about to be eliminated, which makes the wealthy teams very dissatisfied.
In Serie A, the teams have a lot of complaints: three of the four teams have encountered strong dialogue. Except for Parma, the other teams are facing a very difficult situation. After seeing the situation, they
The scoldings have never stopped. The three teams in Serie A originally thought that they had forced their way to the first place in the Champions League group. This was a particularly remarkable thing. But who knew that the three first teams in the group would encounter...
The three strongest groups come second?
"Except for Parma, who can ensure that they advance, it seems too difficult for other teams to advance."
Serie A has now discovered that there is only one Parma left that seems most likely to advance this season. Unlike other teams, Parma was drawn by a Greek team. The Greek team is weak. It seems that Parma
He is the one most likely to advance - and the gap is very large.
"How could Parma be so lucky? How could they draw the weakest opponent and advance so happily?"
The media were all quite puzzled, but unlike them, Li Bin knew very well why: since Platini came to power, what he had been thinking about was how to increase the revenue of the Champions League: Is the Champions League in countries with the five major leagues?
Worrying about ratings, they can earn this part of the money quite easily, but how to get more countries to watch the Champions League? The method that the UEFA Champions League thought of is to rely on
Let more underdogs have games to play, and who wouldn’t want to take a look at their own country’s games? Therefore, since Platini came to power, he has played such a trick: strong teams fight strong teams
, the weak team goes to beat the weak team. The dialogue between the strong and the strong ensures the quality of the game, and the weak team's confrontation is equivalent to a promotion. In this way, the game will be better, the viewing area will be more, and UEFA will naturally make money.
Of course, in doing so, the interests of the wealthy families will be sacrificed.
If they encounter an underdog, then these giants are likely to advance to the top eight or even the top four. But now they meet each other early and compete with each other early. That is to say, there are at least four g14 teams.
They need to be directly eliminated in the top 16, which naturally makes the wealthy teams quite dissatisfied. Although speaking of it, the top 16 and the top 8 are similar honors, but who doesn't know that every time they advance to the Champions League,
With millions of dollars?
Of course, if they are really capable, they probably won't be afraid of this kind of problem. Now Inter Milan is complaining, but there are no complaints from Liverpool - the idea that playing Inter Milan means automatically having a bye is not a problem.
Two years have passed and Liverpool are very happy now. However, for a team that is originally not strong but still wants to make more money in the Champions League, this is a big trouble.
This is also the main reason for the biggest conflict between Platini and major giants in the next few years: and it is also mixed with the suppression of the Premier League and the support of some other teams - but in the final analysis, it is all for
money.
Such an approach will not only increase the internal competition within the team, but also cause the income of the wealthy clubs to drop sharply, and also reduce the prestige of the team a lot. These teams will naturally be unhappy. And Platini and Platini
Their conflict has been a problem in the Champions League for many years.
However, this policy of UEFA has indeed brought great benefits to Parma. Originally, Li Bin had planned to fight all the way, but now it seems that Parma may not meet until the quarterfinals.
A strong team.
This made Li Bin very happy. Until the Christmas party in Parma, several coaches were very happy when they mentioned this matter.
"Now it seems that everything is going well enough this season." Esposito has just returned from outside and is quite satisfied with Parma's current situation. "Speaking of which, I also have good news here. I have contacted South America.
It's almost done. You don't have to worry about it.
I have too many concerns. And in Italy, I have also found new youth training talents for us: Pescara’s coach DiMaggio is willing to follow us to England. In this case, when we get there, he can serve as the youth training coach.
I can continue to be your assistant coach."
The Christmas party was still a day for old friends from Parma to get together. Esposito's first words gave Li Bin a surprise. This harvest was not small.
DiMaggio is the youth training coach of Pescara. Although Pescara is a small team, DiMaggio's level is very high. In the current Pescara youth training camp, there are Vilardi and Insigne.
, Immobile, Perrin, Capuano, Quintero and many other players. For a Serie C team, this is an unscrupulous luxury reserve. Such a coach can follow Li Bin and become a youth.
Li Bin, the training supervisor, is of course satisfied.
"And then there is the talent selection of the scouting director. I thought of a good person: Rui Costa announced that he was resigning after the season. I met him in Portugal this time and had a good chat with him. He said
If he is interested in being a scout, I think he might be a good scout and I am ready to let him try. Although it seems that he still wants to stay in Portugal, I think I can persuade him to come to us."
The two pieces of news Esposito brought back made him very satisfied: Rui Costa has not retired yet, nor has he shown his ability in scouting. However, when Esposito talked with him, he thought
He is a good fit. Li Bin is also very satisfied with this: he knows that Rui Costa is indeed a very good scout after retiring. He remembers that he was a scout at Benfica and achieved considerable success there.
, and now it’s the best thing to bring him over.
Li Bin has never had a dedicated youth training director and a dedicated scouting director. In Parma, he can rely on many people to develop. The team's coaches are all good, so let them be free.
Development, but after arriving in the Premier League, we have to rely on these people to transform the team from top to bottom. Now that we have all the staff, this is a good thing. Esposito has not been an assistant coach in the past six months, but for Li Bin
The help is even greater.
For several days, Li Bin was surrounded by news that made him extremely happy. Now it seems that everything is developing quite smoothly.
The only thing that didn't go well was the problem with Manchester City.
"Lorenzo, there is something I want to tell you: my plan has changed a little. I originally thought that this summer, we would be able to find a very rich boss, even richer than Abramovich.
Quite a bit. However, it seems that our future is not so smooth." Li Bin said.
"What's wrong?"
"The rich man seems to be more inclined to Mancini."
"What a unique taste." Esposito exclaimed.
"Yes, the taste is unique. But the question now is not how they taste, but where we go next season."
"Just find a place to stay. Even if we don't have money, can't we play football well?" Esposito asked, "Aren't we just as broke in the past few years? It's not like we don't have money.
There is no way to play without money."
"But if you don't have money, you won't always feel as happy as if you have money..."
"Li, in fact, I have never really hoped that we would find a rich team. I think teams without money have more value in fighting. You saw Chelsea's behavior after Mourinho dismissed get out of class.
What does it look like? Fans will choose the big money between the big money and the coach. And will this kind of thing be Arsenal's style? Definitely.
No, neither will Manchester United. Only such a big and rich team will feel that they can do without anyone. They will not realize our role. They always feel that if they have money, they can do it.
You can buy everything. Why should we go to a team like this? When we get there, no one will be grateful to us, they will only remember the boss."
Esposito was silent for a moment, "If you ask me, finding a team with little money may not be a bad thing. Just like in Parma, who dares to go against us here? The whole world knows that Parma has what it is today.
, is our credit, our status, no one can take it away
Let's go, and in the rich teams, those are not ours. If we want to pursue our career, people will naturally notice our role. Why should we go to those rich teams? We were originally interested in
It’s not the Premier League’s money, but the Premier League’s environment. If you really want
Money, Inter Milan and Real Madrid can also satisfy our ideas. What we want is just trust in us and support for us. What we need is a person who does not have too much darkness and is not particularly bullshit.
League environment, as long as there is such an environment, we would have
It doesn’t require money to develop! People will not notice our role in those teams. What’s wrong with going to a weak team and building it from scratch? Once we get there, we will be the new Shankly
Wherever Ferguson and Wenger are, we will be new legends!"
Having said this, Esposito paused for a moment before speaking again, "Besides, why are you confused? Investment in the Premier League is so hot, why should we chase capital? As long as we can build a team to the top four of the Premier League
With a strong level and a big market, are we afraid that no one will invest in us? If we do our job well, money will definitely be sent to us. We will not chase capital. Capital will chase us! We are here
Wherever you get investment, that’s what you’re capable of!”
