winning hand

Throughout the summer, Parma's lineup did not change much. Therefore, if there is something that Esposito is most worried about, it is this assistant coach named Allegri.

As the assistant coach of Parma, he should help Li Bin complete the tactical arrangement. However, in several contacts, Esposito was not very satisfied with Allegri's tactical level. Of course, he admitted

, this person seems to have more ideas in doing things and is more decisive in making decisions than himself, but can he become a good coach just by relying on these? Esposito still feels a little doubtful.

"Lorenzo, believe me, this is the best choice I can make. How many coaches are there in Italy? Mancini, Ancelotti, Spalletti, Prandelli, etc.

There are a few people who are unlikely to be my assistant coaches, and apart from them, Allegri is considered good."

Obviously, Li Bin and Esposito have different views. Since he approves of this guy, Esposito can't say much.

After Parma returned to Italy, they did not play any new friendly matches: the players were already very tired, and Li Bin was afraid of causing trouble. Anyway, there was another Italian Super Cup match against Roma in early August, and that match was

It doesn't mean much, just treat it as a friendly match.

Therefore, in the remaining half a month, what Li Bin mainly does is to train the team, incorporate some of his new ideas into the team, and let the team practice more. At the same time, at this time, the team

I also need to reserve some energy to prepare for the start of the new season.

However, while making this preparation, some people also questioned Li Bin's arrangement.

The person who put forward the opinion was none other than Allegri.

Li Bin prepared him to be Parma's next coach. When making tactical arrangements, he also taught him many things very carefully. However, as an assistant coach, he was not very qualified. His

He has a better temperament than Esposito, at least he won't contradict Li Bin face to face, and he is not bad at being decisive, but his tactical knowledge reserve is much worse.

The biggest difference between being an assistant coach and being a head coach is that you need richer tactical knowledge to prepare for the unexpected needs of the head coach. At this point, he is not very good at it.

It is really troublesome to work with an assistant coach who is not familiar with his own thinking and cannot provide much help.

However, Li Bin still endured it: It's time to train yourself. When you get to the Premier League, you will have to use the assistant coach there. It's not a bad thing to contact the assistant coach first.

But this time, the question he raised made Li Bin realize that sometimes, not everyone on the coaching staff can understand his thoughts immediately, and communication with the coaching staff is very important.

"Coach Li, I have always believed that your team should pursue beauty, but now it seems... your team seems to be changing in an unsightly way." Allegri looked at Li.

Bin's training, he couldn't help but ask his own question, "Parma's past

At that time, we were always famous for our strong positional warfare ability. In the whole of Italy, there is almost no team here whose positional warfare ability is better than Parma. We are good at attacking tough battles and we can fight tough battles. But now,

It seems like what you’re doing is…”

"Increasing the team's counterattack ability will make the team's performance unsightly?" Li Bin asked rhetorically.

"Yes. I think it's not as good-looking as before." After Allegri finished speaking, he immediately explained, "Of course, I'm not pursuing good looks. I actually think it's better to play ugly. But,

What I want to ask is: After playing uglier like this, are we stronger?"

"The main pursuit is not to be stronger: this season, compared to last season, our lineup is insufficient, so we have to find a way to slightly change the way we play. Playing positional battles does look good, but playing positional battles

It is indeed very tiring. We are short of manpower this season and can no longer play so freely. Therefore, using more counterattacks to increase efficiency must also be considered. Playing this way saves trouble, not because we are strong." Li Bin explained

.

"In other words, this is to save energy, not the direction to pursue." Allegri was a little disappointed.

"Not necessarily. In fact, there are no certain rules for the beauty and ugliness of football. We can still rely on some changes to make the team look better. It does not necessarily mean that counterattacks will be ugly, and the position

Fighting must be beautiful, the key lies in how to use it."

These words made Allegri a little puzzled. Would counterattack be beautiful? This was beyond his understanding, but this was something Li Bin wanted to understand.

After last year's Champions League, he figured out a lot of things, and Li Bin no longer insisted on pressing football. He began to understand that when he is too stubborn in a certain way of playing, the game will often become single and single.

The game will not be fun to watch, and it will be difficult to win. If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will succeed. Only change is the way to survive.

Any tactic has its merits. If you have to say that a certain way of playing is the most beautiful, that would be a bit paranoid. Football is round, and there is no outstanding place in football. Why is there the best in tactics?

place?

In my memory, even if Barcelona claims to be the most beautiful football, there are still some people who think it is not good-looking. Moreover, among them, there are some outstanding football coaches from Britain and Germany. Is it true that Barcelona’s football is not good-looking?

I'm afraid even Real Madrid fans can't say that. During the period from 2009 to 2011

At that time, Barcelona's players were indeed the most technically sophisticated, coordinated, and fluent team in the world. However, they had already played a bit too univocally. They gave up headers, gave up set kicks, and gave up

The quick attack and abandonment of defensive tactics did make them appear strong, but they were a bit too paranoid.

Because Barcelona was too paranoid, they used possession of the ball as a means to gain advantage from the beginning, and later expanded to a situation where they controlled the ball for the sake of possession, which made their football lose its charm. Starting from the 12th season, they no longer

It’s about controlling the ball for the sake of victory. It’s about controlling the ball for the sake of controlling the ball. As long as you can control the ball, other things are unimportant. Even if you can’t win the game, just control the ball.

.In doing so, they

Naturally, they lost their charm. Even if their tactics and players were good, it would be difficult for them to improve. Guardiola realized that their progress was hopeless and left them. After replacing them with a new coach, Villa

Nova started to play both wings, and Martino started to play long balls, all for the sake of change - but doing so also attracted a lot of curses from the fans, because their thinking was already frozen in possession of the ball, as if they had no control over the ball.

Possessing the ball is no longer Barcelona.

No matter how good a tactic is, you cannot stick to it for a lifetime. The wave of tactics is constantly evolving and will change every three or four years. It is not a good idea to always cling to the old tactic.

Li Bin doesn't want to go down that path. This season, making football more diverse is also one of his pursuits. He knows that when he makes such reforms, there may be some obstructive voices, and Allegri is not included.

What, the media's voice will be louder in the future, but he himself has to withstand it.

In my memory, when Barcelona was playing well, coaches all over the world wanted to say that they learned from Barcelona. Villas-Boas, Klopp, and even Bayern all said so. However, when Barcelona fell, Villas-Boas didn't care for the time being.

, Klopp said that Barcelona football is hypnotic, and Beckenbauer accused Barcelona football of being boring-for a time, everyone was opposed to it.

Football cannot remain unchanged for such a long time. Sticking to the old routine is courting death.

"If you don't like these things, you can accept them slowly..."

Li Bin explained to Allegri, but Allegri immediately said, "No, I think the counterattack tactic is good. I particularly like this tactic."

These words made Li Bin look at him twice.

Allegri's coaching characteristics are also very special: his tactical ability is quite average. Li Bin believes that in Italy, he can find many coaches with better tactical abilities than him. His character is also extremely stubborn.

He is stiff, rigid, and somewhat inflexible, but he does have his own tactical ideas.

He has some understanding of his own tactics: he has an extremely stubborn pursuit of stacking the back line, but for the frontcourt, he does not like delicate cooperation and prefers a simple attack method of inserting in the back row. He

His tactical ability is not strong, so he uses the simplest and easiest tactics to complete the game. It can be said that this is a typical Italian, the kind of coach who thinks that simple counterattack tactics can solve some problems.

It is not a problem to be stubborn about counterattack tactics. There are many coaches who are very stubborn about their own counterattack tactics. If they can play well, they can be very strong. However, Allegri still has

Another problem is that although he has a very stubborn mind, he doesn't pay much attention to tactical details.

Even if it is a counterattack tactic, you must consider the position of the players and the offensive tactics of the players. However, Allegri cannot do even such a thing well. As a coach born in Italy, his tactical command ability,

To put it harshly, it is only at the level of the Chinese Super League. Even if the idea is good, but the technology is not enough, it will become a problem.

This is why he will always be considered a luck-based coach in the future. There is nothing wrong with his ideas, and when there are good players, counterattack tactics are indeed easy to achieve results: because they are simple and easy to operate.

.However, his lack of ability to handle details always caused his team to have problems. Only when the players are serious in the competition, can they play with sufficient strength, or when the team plays to the end, the opponent's

Only when the defense couldn't hold up could they score a goal.

This is the legendary domineering character of Ah Jong - to put it bluntly, he has a stubborn temper, does not know how to repent, and then tries his luck. But having said that, his team is playing so badly, it is very possible for him to be stubborn, indeed

Not much.

This also made Li Bin sigh: As a coach, he does not consider how to improve his abilities, but just thinks about taking advantage of counterattack tactics. This is the virtue.

"What you need most now is to read more of the tactical information I gave you and find ways to improve your tactical abilities. This will be good for you. You can't always try your luck with counterattacks. This is not a good idea.

"

Although Li Bin doesn't plan to cooperate with him any more in the future, he still decides to give him more advice. Allegri and Prandelli are two extremes. His tactical knowledge is too poor. If he doesn't supplement it well, he will definitely be ruined in the future.

He will suffer a big loss. Since Li Bin wants him to take over Parma, then let him use this year's contact time to enrich his tactical knowledge. In this way, he can improve and become a coach in the future.

However, Allegri didn't take Li Bin's words to heart very much.

"It doesn't matter, God will bless me."

God bless you... Are you really relying on your luck to coach? Well, this season, I will just see if you can share your luck with me!
