winning hand

In the game against Barcelona, ​​with a goal, the situation became better and better. Barcelona's defense finally gradually deformed under the pressure of Parma. They could no longer withstand the pressure of Parma and began to be squeezed by Parma.

deformation, and before the end of the game, a set-piece opportunity allowed Parma to break Barcelona's goal again, which also brought this game to a perfect end.

Parma defeated Barcelona 2-0 and won another European Super Cup. This game can be regarded as the official opening of Parma's new season.

At this time, Li Bin was not in a hurry to return to Italy. He still had two things to do. First, he had to participate in the group stage draw ceremony of this year's European Champions Cup. Second, he also

Invited to attend the European Coaches Summit in Nyon.

The group stage draw ceremony is not a big deal to him. Generally speaking, this day is to draw out the groups for the UEFA Champions League group stage, and at the same time select the best players in the UEFA Champions League last season. But because last season was the best

The right to vote for the best player belongs to the coaches who coached the Champions League team last season. Therefore, Li Bin does not have the right to vote. When he goes there, it is a duty to observe the ceremony and see how his team is grouped.

The subsequent European Coaches Summit made him quite interested in participating. This summit was organized by UEFA and invited a total of 22 of the most famous coaches in Europe to participate. It was held on the national team match day in early September every year.

The number of people invited to each coaching summit may not be certain, but no matter who is invited, they will discuss and research around a fixed theme. Sometimes, some famous coaches will be invited to give academic reports. For example, this year, the

The person invited to give the report was Chelsea head coach Mourinho.

Not everyone has the opportunity to participate in such a grand event. Parma won the UEFA Cup last season, and Li Bin was not invited by UEFA. This season, his results are better again. As the winner of the last two leagues

Cup winner and Serie A champion, he is now also qualified to participate in the meeting.

Li Bin was quite interested in meeting other coaches, listening to other people's professional reports, and also discussing with coaches from other leagues. He wanted to know that a group of coaches got together,

What can we talk about, these words may be helpful to him.

Of course, before that, he also had to participate in the Champions League draw held in Monaco. As a team participating in the draw, Parma was still very lucky. Although they had not played in the Champions League for a long time, because they had played in the Champions League in the past two years,

They have been working hard in the UEFA Cup, which makes them now considered a second-tier team.

UEFA's points calculation is a very interesting thing. It stipulates that the UEFA Cup and the Champions League enjoy the same number of points. The points for each win are the same. However, there is a difference between the UEFA Cup and the Champions League. The Champions League starts from

There are thirteen games from the group stage to the final, but from the group stage to the final of the UEFA Cup,

It is fifteen games, so theoretically, the annual UEFA Cup has more points than the Champions League. In other words, Parma played in the UEFA Cup for two years, a total of 30 games, and reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League for three consecutive years.

The team also played thirty games and earned points faster by playing in the UEFA Cup than in the Champions League.

This is why, although the Premier League has played three of the top four in the Champions League this year, its victory over La Liga is just a flash in the pan. The Bundesliga has been beaten to death by Serie A in the Champions League. Bayern's head coach is stunned when he hears Milan, but the Bundesliga still reacts the same way.

Super Serie A. It is easy to earn points in the UEFA Cup, but it gives more points. When UEFA calculates the league classification, it is calculated uniformly, which allows those teams that work hard in the UEFA Cup to benefit greatly. Parma relied on this to become one of the top

A second-tier team.

It can be said that there is a fundamental difference between the teams in the second tier and the teams in the third tier. Based on the current UEFA points, Lyon, Porto, Bayern, Chelsea, these giant teams are all considered

Second tier of players - This is because Juventus was relegated this year and will not play in the European war. Otherwise, there will be one more Manchester United in the second tier of teams. If Parma is in the third tier, that is

It is said that there is a half chance that they will be drawn into the group of death that includes two giants. However, if they enter the second tier of teams, it will be completely different. Among the third tier teams,

The strongest teams are Sporting Lisbon and Benfica, the two Portuguese Super League teams. It can be said that the other opponents are not a threat. Judging from the situation in the Champions League group stages in the past two years, the chance of an upset is very small.

of.

Regarding the issue of earning points in the Champions League, if you don't die, you won't die. Li Bin is not wrong about this.

As the second-tier teams, Inter Milan and Milan in the first-tier teams need to be automatically avoided by Parma. Roma is also in the second tier, and there are no avoidance issues to consider with Parma. In other words, the first-tier teams

Among the six teams in the team, Barcelona, ​​Liverpool, Valencia, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Arsenal, there is one that he must play for.

"Who do you hope you draw?"

In Monaco, Li Bin also met an acquaintance. Ancelotti's fat face made Li Bin feel quite friendly after seeing it.

"The one I hope to meet? Of course it's Barcelona." Li Bin answered unkindly, "I just finished playing with them in the Super Cup, and I was finishing my research on them. If I meet them again,

My job will be much easier."

"You are lazier than me." Ancelotti smiled. Of course he knew that playing against Barcelona was not easy. Although Li Bin said it was easy, Barcelona is still a strong team and not easy to play. "That moment

Among the other teams, which team do you least want to face?"

"Are you trying to trick me? Do you want to analyze the characteristics of my team?" Li Bin asked.

"Of course, what do you think?" Ancelotti shrugged, "I am very optimistic that you can enter the quarter-finals. Maybe we will meet each other by then. There is no harm in talking about it first."

"You are good at talking." Li Bin ignored his compliments, and after thinking about it, he said, "I think it should be Manchester United."

This answer surprised Ancelotti, but Li Bin didn't say anything more: In fact, the last thing he wanted to touch was naturally Milan. In the 2006-07 season, Kaká in the Champions League was a ghost.

Li Bin didn’t think he was lucky enough to encounter a bug in his testing. As for Manchester United, it was because Li Bin believed that Manchester United in the 2006-07 season was beginning to recover.

It's time. Although they have not yet formed the extremely fierce three-headed monster's style of play this season, Manchester United has never relied on stars to make a living. With an old monster like Ferguson here, the players

After completing the initial transformation this season, they will be difficult to deal with. Even if Li Bin knows their tactics, Li Bin does not think that he is 100% sure of winning.

Apart from these two teams, Li Bin doesn't care much about other teams. Although Liverpool and Real Madrid are also strong teams, their weaknesses are also obvious in comparison.

, they are all teams that have been poorly analyzed, which is why Li Bin is not afraid of them.

However, if he could draw Valencia, Li Bin would have to admit that he had great luck and won the lottery.

However, obviously, Li Bin did not have the luck to draw the weakest team and the team he wanted to draw the most. However, he was not unlucky enough to draw Manchester United. The results of the Champions League draw came out soon, and

This result also surprised him quite a bit.

"Group E, Real Madrid, Parma, Bordeaux, Copenhagen...this group is pretty good."

Looking at the grouping in Parma, Li Bin couldn't help but say something.

It is indeed a good group: Although Real Madrid's hard idea is a bit difficult to chew, the remaining Bordeaux and Copenhagen are not too big a threat. After entering this group, qualifying is basically not a problem, and considering

In recent years, Real Madrid has been consistently weak in the Champions League. Capello only cares about the league and does not care about his temper in the Champions League. Maybe Parma can play well in this Champions League group stage.

"What's wrong? Are you happy that you got a good group?" While Li Bin was thinking about it, Ancelotti also came over, "I remember that Mourinho and Benitez both got it.

After winning the UEFA Cup, he immediately won the Champions League. How about you try this year and win the Champions League for us?"

Regarding Ancelotti's words, Li Bin shook his head. It's not good to be slapped in the face for bragging about something like this. "I'm still far behind. I have to learn more."

"That's just right. Isn't this the coaches summit soon? Wherever we go, we can learn." Ancelotti said.

This also gave Li Bin the opportunity to quickly ask him what the so-called coaches summit was about.

"There are everything. The most important thing is the direction of tactical changes and professional issues such as what future tactics will look like. Of course, sometimes we will discuss some industry information, such as who wants to resign and change environments.

Ideas, ask where a new coach is needed. And if there is any, it will be some academic exchanges. Isn’t the theme of this summit the advanced experience of Chelsea’s rise? Coach Mourinho is going to give us a report

.”

Logically speaking, the most important thing should be the academic report. However, Li Bin also understood that the coaching summit was more about giving coaches an opportunity to meet and communicate. I guess the atmosphere was not as oppressive as he imagined.

At this point, Ancelotti paused and said, "Don't think of this summit as too formal. It's just an ordinary gathering. Moreover, this time, there are other things that may need to be said..."

"What about the telephone scandal?"

"No, I'm talking about UEFA." Ancelotti said, "The UEFA elections are just around the corner."

Yes, this summer, UEFA will hold a re-election. The new UEFA president will be chosen between Platini and Beckenbauer. Behind them is the battle between Blatter and Johansson.

…

"I don't care much about this issue." Li Bin shook his head. He was just out of his mind about Moji's matter. Moreover, after the matter was over, all kinds of people in Serie A also made him understand that there is no justice in this kind of thing.

Instead of focusing on this, it is better to listen carefully to the report, "What about my attitude? I think Platini is better."

"Are you crazy? He wants to dismantle G14."

"I know, but I'm not the coach of g14." Li Bin shook his head, "And I also think there is no harm in dismantling g14."
