There were almost no surprises in the match between Parma and Lyon. From the beginning, it was a one-sided situation. Although Lyon is considered a strong team, that was already the past two years.
The French team at the turn of the century can be said to be the strongest team in the world, because France is very strong, and their marginal international players are also very strong players. Lyon relies on these players to build a foundation, plus since
Another world-class team, Brazil, poached fringe international players and brought these players together, thus successfully dominating Ligue 1.
But now, Lyon's core player Juninho is already very old, and the players such as Tularan they bought in the past two years have gradually become less powerful than Essien and others in the previous two years due to the overall decline of French football.
Although they have worked hard to cultivate their huge potential, they cannot play at the same level as before. Although they have had the emergence of Benzema and Ben Arfa in the past two seasons, their young people have also begun to have some strength that can be expected.
, however, in various arenas, they still cannot change themselves.
The situation is declining. Although Aulas has now changed his business strategy and no longer only thinks about making money, but wants to spend money. This year, he was lucky enough to make the team reach the semi-finals of the Champions League. However, this
That's their limit. Their strength is among the top four
It is the weakest team, otherwise, it would not have been regarded as a team that was destined to die before the quarter-finals were over. What's more, in the semi-finals, facing a team like Parma,
From the beginning, they had no chance of winning in everyone's eyes.
It’s just that it’s difficult for Lyon to accept such a problem. They still hope to score a goal. After all, they now have Benzema, a player regarded as the future of French football.
Benzema was running up the front court, trying to score a goal. But unfortunately, his goal failed to come. This player is said to be the player most like Ronaldo in active service, even Ronaldo
I have praised him as the one who is most like me, both in terms of body and skills, he is extremely outstanding. However, in this game against Parma, he really did not perform well.
Every time he got the ball, he would be closely followed by De Jong, which made his performance extremely poor. De Jong made big moves, almost fouling Benzema every time in defense. His moves were so big,
It also made it difficult for Benzema to resist.
"Benzema is guarded very tightly by De Jong. He is still a little too young to deal with players like De Jong who play rough."
Although Benzema is a good player, it is unrealistic to say that he is Ronaldo. When he played football, he had the biggest problem that he was not like Ronaldo - his explosive power was a weakness.
One of Ronaldo's biggest reliances on playing football during his peak period was his excellent explosive power. However, in this aspect, Benzema has a weakness. He is tall and skilled, and he can indeed play some extraordinary games.
A good ball, but the problem of weak explosive power makes it difficult for him to launch a counterattack immediately after receiving the ball. If he cannot get rid of De Jong in the first step, then he will be killed by De Jong.
He was entangled and didn't give him any chance to perform at all.
As for him, who was born in 1987, his current experience is a little less, and it is difficult for him to do anything when he is violently entangled.
In fact, there is no way for him to get rid of such a defense. As long as he strengthens his movement, he can play well. However, when Benzema plays, there is still a big problem, that is, he plays well.
The ball has always been a bit lazy. This makes his running not particularly active. After being entangled by De Jong, he didn't have any good solutions.
This also makes Lyon fans feel helpless when they see him not performing well. It is difficult to win with this way of playing. Especially now, Parma has almost all the advantages in the midfield. Lyon's
There are not many opportunities in the first place, and Benzema still wastes them like this. This is a big problem.
In the midfield, Yaya Toure held the ball and pressed the Lyon midfielder very boldly. Yaya Toure and Motta kept dribbling the ball in the midfield and passing it around the center circle from time to time.
They were charging forward, which made Lyon's midfielder unable to hold on early and could only retreat.
Soon, Parma also scored a goal. Crespo, who came on as the starter, scored a goal. He received a long pass from Yaya Toure in the frontcourt and used a ball after receiving the ball.
Quickly turned around and shot, breaking Lyon's goal.
After this goal, Lyon's midfield collapsed.
Lyon's current midfielder used to be the most pressing midfielder in Europe. In the past, they were also a team that all Europe took seriously. But now, in front of Parma's midfielder, they have no way to fight back.
Strong. In recent seasons, after Juninho aged,
Lyon has been trying to play beautiful football, but obviously, they have not successfully learned the essence. Tulalan and others are much inferior in strength. They are overwhelmed by Parma and have no ability to pass beautiful balls. Benzema was beaten in the frontcourt.
When stuck, their midfield advantage was gradually lost.
When facing a tough team, more consideration will be given to counterattacks and targeted quick attacks. When facing a technical team, Parma will naturally rely on its muscle advantage to crush its opponents. This season, Parma's tactics are flexible.
A lot, they can also completely suppress Lyon, a team several times stronger.
When meeting Parma, Lyon painfully discovered that they could not gain the upper hand at all. As one of the strongest teams in Ligue 1, they had long lost their previous habit of playing defensive counterattacks. After being oppressed by Parma,
After the backcourt, they didn't even have any room to counterattack.
After the second half, Parma scored another goal. This time, it was Crespo again. After receiving a pass from Arshavin in the frontcourt, he quickly reversed the offside and scored his first goal in the Champions League half.
The second goal in the final further extended Parma's victory.
"Crespo scored twice, an unimaginable old guy! Lyon became another team after Liverpool that was completely beaten... Parma didn't give them any chance when they faced them."
But Li Bin, who was on the sidelines at this time, thought that this situation was normal: after defeating Liverpool, Li Bin understood that their strength was definitely ahead of any other team in the world - football tactics are a ladder-like rise.
Basically, there will be progress within three or four years. Take advantage of
Liverpool is a good reference point. During the 2005-08 period, even if Liverpool lost, they only conceded one or two goals. However, in the 2008-09 season, when they lost to Chelsea, they conceded two games.
Seven, this is because their tactics have lagged behind the times.
When Chelsea faced Barcelona in the past few times, they didn't rely much on defending, but after 2009, they relied more and more on defending. In a sense, this is also a tactical evolution.
.Manchester United went from the Big Three period to the latter's wretched defense. Although it was because they were poor and had no money to buy people, it was also a tactical improvement. Of course, the most obvious change was that Barcelona went from Dream 2 to Dream 3, which was also a process of tactical improvement.
.
Therefore, after defeating his opponent with a score of 5-2, Li Bin understood that they had begun to have a stronger tactical level.
The lead at the tactical level may be disrupted by outstanding players when facing strong opponents, but when facing a weaker team, it is basically a crushing level. If it is against Lyon, it cannot be
If they won, they would be in vain.
"If Lyon is still the same Lyon..." watching the game, the commentator also sighed.
Lyon now simply does not have the strength to compete with Parma in the midfield. Parma completely pushed Lyon into their own half, and then continued to attack.
"Parma's game fully demonstrated their strength. In the game against Liverpool, they also made some tactical changes. But in this game, they didn't even need to apply the tactical changes. They just relied on
With his strong strength, he is oppressing Lyon. And if we say
Why they haven't turned the game into a massacre yet is probably because Parma's current goal is not to win the game, but to be ready for everything before the final. They didn't even let Milito play.
, I simply didn’t take Lyon seriously.”
Indeed, at the beginning of the game, Li Bin was not thinking about how to win against Lyon - in this game, their strength could completely win the game. Therefore, what Li Bin needed to think about was to give the players a rest.
, while shuffling the cards and preparing for the finals.
Therefore, Li Bin asked Crespo to replace Milito as the starting player and gave Milito a rest. Milito was not in very good condition at the beginning of this season. Now, during this period, his condition has been completely restored.
Li Bin also hopes that he can maintain his condition until the finals, and now Crespo can handle this less important game.
As Parma's substitute forward, although Crespo is a little older, his level is not bad at all. Moreover, he is also full of yearning for the Champions League championship. In this semi-final, Parma also relied on his strength to win
Contest.
In this game, Parma won 2-0 simply and easily, and also helped Toure and De Jong shuffle the cards. Although it was the Champions League semi-finals, Lyon had no ability to stop Parma's full attack.
After Liverpool, the whole of Europe paid great attention to Parma's victory. After this round of victory, the whole of Europe also took Parma's victory for granted. The only thing left is to look at the two teams between Parma and the Premier League in the final.
The winner of a team is the stronger one.
While he was in the Champions League, Li Bin was also facing another matter.
Martins from the Premier League has returned, and this time, what he brought to Li Bin was no longer news, but a prepared contract.
"In the Premier League, there are already teams that have offered you contracts. When I came back this time, I also showed you their contracts."
"Which team gave me the contract?" This is the question Li Bin is most looking forward to now.
"It's not a particularly strong team, but just a mid-table team - Tottenham have offered you a contract and they hope you can become their coach next season."
