Because they drew lots in the Champions League against the weak Liverpool, Parma did not play properly in the league during this period. After a hasty victory against Bologna, they began to devote themselves wholeheartedly to preparations for the Champions League.
, since Li Bin has the idea of killing his opponent twice, then he must be fully prepared.
Liverpool has always been a strange team in the past few years - they have played very well in cup competitions, and their results in two Champions League finals are admirable, but in the league, their results are relatively poor.
Generally speaking, constantly competing with Arsenal for fourth place in the league and having a record of falling out of the top four is not something to be proud of.
Moreover, this team is famous for robbing the rich and giving to the poor. When they encounter a strong team, they can play extremely tyrannically, but when they encounter a weak team, they will suffer in various ways. They can be inseparable from Barcelona and Chelsea.
, even have the upper hand, but can also lose against relegation teams. Some of the losing battles are even funny to people watching.
There are two reasons for this situation: one is that Liverpool's bench is not thick enough, and they do not have many personnel to rotate, so naturally they cannot play well in the league. The Premier League schedule is tight, there are many injuries, and dozens of
Off the field, they couldn't stand it, so their results were poor. Secondly, Liverpool's wide players were not good enough.
When playing in the Premier League, there are no wings and no width, which means there is no way to pull the opponent's defenders apart. Once the defenders cannot pull apart, they will naturally not be able to break the iron barrel formation - when a weak team encounters a strong team,
There is always an iron barrel formation. If the strong team cannot break through this tactic, they will not be able to win against the weak team.
These two have caused Liverpool to be completely ineffective when playing in the league. However, Liverpool's excellent central axis has allowed them to win repeatedly when facing strong teams.
Torres, Gerrard, Alonso, Mascherano, plus Reina, and their slightly weaker but passable defender Carragher, the strength of this team's central axis is the entire
The Premier League, and even the whole of Europe, can be ranked in the top three. This kind of strength makes them always perform well in strong dialogues, and also makes Li Bin, who was drawn to them, feel the need to prepare carefully.
Although Li Bin himself sacrificed the league to play in the Champions League and seemed to be very serious about it, he knew very well that the coach opposite him, Benitez, had similar ethics to him in this regard. He also liked to sacrifice.
Regardless of the league results, we will go all out to fight for the Champions League, whether it is against Chelsea or Milan,
He has done something similar, giving up the league and going all out to play in the Champions League. In the 2007-08 season, Liverpool's current behavior is the same. It seems that there is almost no possibility of being in the league. Li Bin estimates that they will still be
The focus is on the Champions League, so these two games are still fierce battles.
In this game, Li Bin also made up his mind to have a good fight with Liverpool: Liverpool is a very strong team, composed of Gerrard, Alonso and Mascherano.
The midfielder can almost be said to be the most perfect midfield trio in theory. Precisely because the opponent has such an excellent midfield combination, Li Bin also wants to know about Yaya Toure and Motta on his side.
, De Jong and Arshavin, can the combination of four people defeat them?
On the other hand, Torres is now in his prime. He played very well in Liverpool for half a season. At this time, he has not had surgery, so he has not degenerated to the level of Torres in the future. Now his terrifying explosive power and
His excellent shooting skills make him a perfect counterattack weapon——
It's scary enough for a team to have one of him, not to mention that Liverpool also has another master of counterattack football, Alonso. These two people, plus Mascherano, who has a strong sweeping ability in the midfield, and the frontcourt
You can put Gerrard in the back row and play to the extreme. This game is quite difficult.
The game is difficult, but Parma cannot lose confidence because of this. Their players are very good, but Parma's players are not bad either. Although De Jong's interception skills are not as good as Mascherano's, he does not hesitate to run with physical strength.
, the defense is tough enough. Although Motta's long pass is far inferior to Alonso, his skills are more comprehensive, and in the organizing midfielder, his personal offensive ability is outstanding.
Outstanding. Yaya Toure's speed and explosive power are not as good as Gerrard's, and his ability to support forward is still far behind, but his skills are more delicate and his level of controlling the rhythm in the midfield is also higher - Toure and Motta
, individually speaking, their strength is not as good as Gerrard and Alonso, but with everything put together, with De Jong leading the defense behind them and Arshavin leading the offense in front, their strength is no worse than their opponents.
Looking at the lineups of both sides, Li Bin also felt a sense of ambition: Playing against a team like this is when you can truly experience real skills.
This year's Champions League, the warm-up is over and the main match has officially begun!
----------------------------------------
This is Anfield - standing in the tunnel, when the players raise their heads, they can see that line of words - that line of words is world-famous, everyone knows that it was written by Liverpool in the player tunnel to give the visiting team players a warning.
.
"I remember when I passed here, many people would spit twice to show their contempt. How about we spit twice to show our fearless courage?"
The Parma players were still joking quietly. Motta obviously remembered the story of the crazy gang, Larayaya Toure, and joked with him.
Tu Lei didn't speak, but when he raised his head, he had some eager thoughts about that line of words.
"No need, the ball is kicked out, not spit out." Li Bin stood nearby, heard what they said, and stopped their thoughts.
When standing in the player tunnel and looking at the words in front of him, Li Bin was in a trance, as if he had seen the heroic spirit when he wrote this sentence here when Liverpool was at its peak. He spat at this, and then
It's simple enough, but if you want to move forward with your head held high and don't care about the spirit of these words, it's very difficult.
However, looking at our players, they have already walked onto the court and are still in the mood to joke with each other, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
Milito, Cavani, Arshavin, Toure, Motta, De Jong, Grosso, Agger, Thuram, Zabaleta, Frey - none of these people are cowards, mine.
The team will not be worse than the opponent at all.
Looking at the opponent, Li Bin found that the opponent's lineup in this game was also somewhat unexpected.
Liverpool still has a 433 formation in this game: in the backcourt, they are goalkeeper Reina, the backline is Riise, Hyypia, Carragher, Arbeloa, and the midfield line is Maschera.
Novo, Alonso, Gerrard, on the forward line, they used Torres on the strongest side, with Babel on the left and Kuyt on the right.
Unexpectedly, Babel was used as the left midfielder. In Li Bin's view, Babel is more suitable for a center forward and cannot perform well on the left wing. However, thinking about Liverpool's lineup, they
There seems to be no suitable player for the wing position. With Babel, he seems to be their best player.
Comparing the two sides, Parma's lineup is better, which also makes Li Bin more confident.
"The game between Parma and Liverpool has begun. We can see that from the first minute of the game, both sides have invested heavily in a fierce battle in the midfield. Without even a little warm-up and preparation, both sides have already
The fight with each other began."
After the whistle blew, the match between the two sides began immediately. As the commentator of the match, Lineker quickly exclaimed after seeing the state of the match: This kind of match is like two
Confrontation between strong teams.
Neither Parma nor Liverpool had any intention of avoiding each other. The two sides were strangulating each other back and forth in the midfield. Each of Parma's three midfielders was a tall and strong man with strong body and strong fighting ability.
Liverpool's three midfielders, together with their right winger Kuyt, are also players with strong counterattack abilities. Double
From the beginning of the game, Fang has been destroying each other's ball path in the middle, preventing the opponent from attacking smoothly. Every half ball is a desperate scramble, and every pass will be intercepted by the opponent.
, every breakthrough can be directly knocked down by the opponent - the two sides started a full-scale collision from the moment the whistle sounded.
"Now we can see that Parma and Liverpool are unable to form a particularly effective offensive. Destruction is easier than organization. As soon as they come up, they are thinking about how to destroy the opponent's ball path, their midfield,
From the very beginning of the game, I was determined that I might not be able to play, but you can’t even think about playing. With this kind of guidance, it would be difficult for both of them to have a chance."
Watching the game, Lineker also admired the toughness of the Parma team's midfield: There are not many teams in the world that can compete with top powers like Chelsea and Liverpool. Their players are used to it.
Yu relied on his strong body to directly launch counterattacks in the frontcourt.
Grab and directly launch a counterattack. Playing like this will always put huge pressure on the opponent. Such hard collisions usually only appear when local teams in the Premier League play football. In other leagues,
The team may have a technical advantage, but physically
It is definitely incomparable with the Premier League, so it is always impossible to gain an advantage by passing the ball on the field - if you can't control the ball when the opponent is attacking, how can you talk about stability? Even Barcelona, which is known as the best technology in the world,
When I met teams like Liverpool and Chelsea, sometimes it was the same
There is no ball control, no scene, and the experience of being beaten by opponents. But now, Parma withstood Liverpool's brutal frontcourt counterattack and was able to compete with them. Their physical hardness was actually
He didn't lose to Liverpool at all, which is naturally admirable.
However, Lineker was not particularly worried: this is Anfield, and Liverpool, playing at home, should not be in danger. Although both sides failed to pass the ball smoothly in the midfield, Liverpool's main policy is defensive counterattack.
, even if the pass fails a hundred times, there is only one chance. Alonso passes the ball over the top and finds Torres, which may be an opportunity to score. However, Parma mainly plays on the ground and cooperates with the offense.
Without smooth cooperation, the trouble would be much bigger than Liverpool's.
So, what was Li Bin thinking about playing this kind of war of attrition with Liverpool in the midfield? Just for the sake of a good scene? That shouldn't be the case, right? But, if it wasn't for the scene, their purpose
, what is it? How will they resist Torres? How will they break through Liverpool's goal? Lineker watched Parma fighting constantly on the field, and he was also confused.
