Golden Greenery

Chapter 218: An away draw with Parma

Parma may be the club with the least status in Serie A. Since the owner Tanzi was imprisoned, the entire team has been in decline. Because of the huge debt, the team has been mortgaged to the bank. In theory, every player in Parma is now a non-performing asset of the bank. The club was placed under government administration and the team owner became a government commissioner.

Look around for a buyer to take it over, give it some money and it will be yours, as long as you are willing to help pay off the debt. It is said that Sanz, the former chairman of Real Madrid and a wealthy Spanish businessman, is interested in being the victim.

Ranked third from the bottom in the league and losing 0:3 in the first round of the UEFA Cup, this mighty team that has created brilliance and won the UEFA Cup four years ago will most likely miss the UEFA Cup next season, which it has participated in for fifteen consecutive years. European competition.

Parma's European war honors are the most successful Italian team among Italian teams except for the top three in the north (AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Juventus).

Ten years ago, when the "Seven Sisters of Serie A" dominated the world, it was Parma's heyday. That year, they fought to the last minute with Juventus in the league, Italian Cup, and UEFA Cup. Although they only won the UEFA Cup and the other two in the end, at that time Parma was undoubtedly a team that could be on par with the top three in the north. In just ten years, today's Parma has been reduced to licking its face and begging the Italian Football Association to change its league schedule so that it can cope with the UEFA Cup calmly, but it was thrown back directly by the big bosses without any dignity.

Where is the domineering power of the past, and where can we talk about the past status?

Piet Camignani, the former chief assistant of Sacchi, who is ranked among the "Top 100 Coaches in the History of World Football", took over the important task of saving Parma from the resigned Baldini at the end of last year. From now on Judging from the situation, he did not do very well, which shows that an outstanding assistant coach may not necessarily be a qualified head coach.

Maybe, maybe it’s not his fault. Three years ago, Carmignani took over as a critical savior for Argentine coach Passarella, who had lost five games in a row, and that time, he won Parma's last championship, the Coppa Italia.

People's hearts are in chaos and it's hard to lead the team!

For Camignani, the 0:3 in the first leg was actually a relief. It allowed him to no longer be entangled in the choice between the league and the UEFA Cup, and he could finish the game against Madiburg. Just focus on the league and Chievo’s game the day after tomorrow (look at the fucking schedule).

Parma sent half of the substitute lineup, but several generals who had recovered from minor injuries were all put into battle. Goalkeepers Frey, Bonera, Morfeo, and Gilardino. This heavyweight central axis may need to be given to the following players. League warm up.

The game went a bit dull, both sides were a bit unprogressive and spent most of the time controlling the ball in their own backcourt. Frey resolved three attacks from Zhuo Yang, Gomez and Arshavin in the first half.

Madibo goalkeeper Handanovic had nothing to do, and Parma's 19-year-old forward Pietro Roppolo's header went wide of the post.

In the second half, the two sides began to make substitutions one after another. In the 60th minute, Debich was already standing on the sidelines preparing to replace Zhuo Yang, but Uncle Zha quickly stopped him: "Wait a minute, wait for Zhuo Yang to finish taking this free kick."

Almost 40 meters away, Zhuo Yangyun's treacherous kick caused the screams of more than 10,000 fans in the Tardini Stadium. Frey firmly believed that the ball would be ridiculously high over the crossbar. However, He was wrong.

After Zhuoyang came off the field, he threw his jersey to a small group of Madibao fans in the stands who were traveling to the away game. His wonderful free kick ended the game completely. No team in the world could score Madiburg five goals in such a short period of time.

However, Pisanu, who came on as substitute for Gilardino, scored a face-off goal in Parma in the 88th minute. This was also his only goal this season. The two sides eventually drew 1:1, with Fort Madi with a total score of 4. :1 advanced to the UEFA Cup semi-finals.

Parma had a miserable season, finishing in 18th place, their lowest ranking since entering Serie A. However, it was in the relegation play-off with Bologna that Parma fought the most thrilling relegation battle in Serie A history.

In June, Parma lost 0:1 at home to Bologna in the first leg. In the third minute of stoppage time for an impatient Parma, Simplicio had a friction with his opponent Locatelli on the court, which then led to a fight on the benches of the two teams. The coaches of both teams, Mazzoni and Carmignani, had a conflict. The situation was extremely unfavorable for Parma when he received a red card for entering the stadium!

Four days later, the game that decided Parma's fate began at the Stadio Dalara in Bologna. The retired Golden Whistle Collina was specially invited to referee the last game of his career.

Cardone and Gilardino's two goals in the first half helped Parma avoid relegation. The scene of Gilardino rushing to the Parma fan zone to receive cheers after scoring the goal has become an everlasting memory for fans. It was this scene that allowed this forward, who missed the top scorer spot by one goal for two consecutive seasons, to capture the hearts of many fans and truly become famous.

After this season, Gilardino moved to AC Milan for 25 million euros. His transfer fee allowed the embarrassed Parma to successfully register for the new season and settled a considerable part of the unpaid wages of his former teammates.

After the European match day in mid-week, Madiburg, the only Bundesliga team in the UEFA Cup, continued to advance rapidly, while Bayern Munich, the only remaining team in the Champions League, failed to make any further progress. They failed in the quarterfinals.

Piggy Bastian Schweinsteiger lost to Scar Ribery 5:6 in two rounds.

In the first round at Stamford Bridge, Scar gave Chelsea the lead in the first 4 minutes. It was not until the 52nd minute of the second half that Piglet equalized the score for Bayern with a long shot. In the next twenty minutes, Lampard scored twice and Drogba added the icing on the cake. Ballack scored a penalty kick in stoppage time, setting the score at 2:4 and leaving some hope for Bayern Munich.

Just the night before Madiburg eliminated Parma, in the Munich Olympic Stadium, Magath's desperate efforts failed to outlast Mourinho's Tai Chi push. Lampard and Drogba twice allowed Chelsea to win away games. Taking the lead, Pizarro and Guerrero twice equalized the score for Bayern.

Master Piggy rewritten the second round score to 3:2 in the last minute, but it was difficult to save the team from being eliminated.

"Zhuoyang, I heard that you made a bet with Xiaozhu that whoever can't go to Monaco in August will find a yacht to entertain everyone for a few days. Is that true?" Scar was beaming on the other end of the phone.

"I want to make a bet with you. We need six girls on the yacht. How about it? Zhuo Yang, do you dare to bet?"

With the second brother Montolivo's Juventus also being eliminated by Liverpool with a total score of 2:1, Franck Ribery became the only figure of the Six Musketeers in the Champions League.
