After losing this game, Parma's promotion plan was temporarily affected.

Empoli also took the opportunity to narrow the points gap with them to three points.

However, in the next game, Parma was not affected by this game. They won three consecutive games and expanded their lead to six points again.

Since there are only two rounds left in the first half of the league, they have basically locked the half-time championship.

After being absent for a month and a half, Karaiou finally resumed normal training.

However, when he stepped onto the training ground again, he obviously felt that his body was a little rusty.

After the morning training session, he felt that his legs were a little bit unable to lift.

Alessandro came over: "Old man, do you feel a little overwhelmed?"

Karayo smiled bitterly: "Yes, although I don't want to admit it, I do feel that way. After resting for more than a month, I feel that my arms and legs are ten years older."

Alessandro said: "Who said it wasn't! After I was injured last time, I felt like I was several years older, and even felt that my body rhythm couldn't keep up with the pace of professional players."

Karayo sighed: "It seems that it's time for us."

Alessandro hit him lightly: "What you said is really scary, what do you mean it's time. Retirement is not a big deal, we still have more things to do next."

Karayo glanced at him: "Of course you still have a lot of things to do, you still have to run the club."

Alessandro smiled and said, "What do you want to do after you retire?"

Karayo shook his head and said, "I haven't decided yet. Maybe I want to stay away from football! After all, I have been engaged in this profession for 20 years, and it is a bit unchallenging."

Alessandro said, "Did you think about becoming a coach?"

Karayo said, "I don't think so? Being a coach is thankless and scary."

Alessandro smiled, "Yeah, you have made enough money anyway..."

Karayo glared at him, "You have made enough money! I haven't made much either!"

Alessandro looked at him with contempt, "Don't pretend, you made much more than me in Siena and Naples..."

Karayo glanced at him, "Boss Lucarelli, you are embarrassing me..."

Then the two old men couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Matteo and Rossi, who were not far away, looked at the two old men strangely, wondering what was so funny about them.

Rossi suddenly understood something and whispered to Matteo, "Will they chat about where to have fun at night?"

Matteo kicked him on the leg: "Why don't you think of something positive? That's my dad!"

Rossi was not annoyed, he put his arm around Matteo's shoulders and laughed.

In the midday sun, a pair of veterans who were about to retire laughed heartily, and a pair of young players who had just started their careers were arm in arm behind them. This scene was very much like the inheritance of the Parma team.

Parma's opponent in the 20th round of the league was Bari, a team that Matteo was deeply impressed by.

They played in Serie A a few years ago and contributed several great figures to Serie A.

Two young central defenders Bonucci and Ranocchia joined Juventus and Inter Milan respectively, and head coach Conte became a famous coach of a generation.

Caputo, who is now in great form in Empoli, also came from Bari, but his years in Bari were not so happy.

Barry has also performed very well this year and is now ranked fourth in the standings.

According to the pre-match outlook, this away game is also a tough battle for Parma.

Apolloni sent all the main players in this game and arranged a 451 formation.

Matteo, Rossi, Tonali and McAllister all appeared.

Barry used a 4312 formation.

In response to the opponent's formation, Parma's main offensive direction in the game was the wing.

But the progress of the game was somewhat beyond everyone's expectations.

Just five minutes into the game, Parma completed a cooperation on the right. After cutting inside a few steps with the ball, Insigne passed the ball to Klaus who was advancing. Klaus made a direct cross, and Matteo in the penalty area scored with a header. Parma led 1-0 away from home.

Taking the lead early made Parma's players relax all of a sudden.

In the 11th minute, the attack was launched from the left. Di Gaudio broke through on the left and sent a reverse triangle pass. Mateo missed the ball on the edge of the penalty area, and McAllister followed up with a push shot to score another goal.

A little over ten minutes into the gameThey took a 2-0 lead, which made the whole Parma team unexpectedly start the game so easily.

Barry obviously didn't expect that their players' mentality was obviously problematic.

In the 25th minute, the opponent's right back Jawaan Anderson received a second yellow card for a meaningless tackle foul and was sent off by the referee.

This also put Barry in an embarrassing situation of 10 vs. 11.

The game was actually over at this moment.

Parma, who played with one more player, completely controlled the situation on the field in the next game.

Since Barry had to replace a striker in order to keep the back line intact, Parma's two full-backs were more unscrupulous in advancing to assist.

In the 41st minute, it was Cambiasso who dribbled to the frontcourt after receiving Tonali's pass. After a two-on-one match with Di Gaudio, he dribbled into the penalty area. This time he did not choose to cross the ball, but directly shot!

The opponent's goalkeeper Alessandro Mitz didn't expect him to shoot directly, so he was not prepared enough and failed to save Cambiasso's shot!

3-0, Parma locked the victory of the game.

In the second half of the game, Parma did not continue to attack with high intensity. After all, it is better to leave a line for this kind of thing.

And Apolloni also replaced Matteo with Rispoli and Di Gaudio with Scalia.

But even if they didn't want to attack hard, they still had to seize the opportunity.

In the 75th minute, Scalia made a cross from the left, and Rispoli in the penalty area played his power of the fox in the penalty area and headed the ball in before the opponent's central defender.

In the end, Parma won Bari 4-0 away, completing an unexpected victory!

In this game, Parma's two wingers were powerful and became the main reason for their victory!

And with the victory of this game, they also locked the Serie B half-time championship!
