356 The End of the Era

Serie A fans will never forget the summer of 2008.

In the summer of this year, Parma won the magical moment of the Champions League, which gradually faded away amidst people's discussion. In the UEFA Champions League final of the 2007-08 season, Parma defeated Manchester United 3-0. This incident

It was a sensation, but with the end of the Champions League, Parma also ushered in the inevitable downturn after its glory.

First, after Parma won the championship, Li Bin announced in less than a week that he would resign as Parma's head coach.

"Parma has now ushered in the most glorious moment in its century-old team history, and as the coach of this team, I am fortunate to participate in this moment, and I am very happy. However, I think my personal ability

Limited, although I can win a championship for Parma, but

I am unable to build Parma into a truly wealthy team. My ability cannot match the direction of Parma's future pursuits. Therefore, I think it is time to say goodbye. Thank you to Parma for allowing me to coach these four years and giving me the honor.

Be part of the honor. Thanks also to Parma

, has allowed me to learn football knowledge here for more than ten years. No matter where I go in the future, Parma will always be a part of my heart, and this will never change. Likewise, I also want to thank everyone in Serie A.

Friends. People here have given me a lot of encouragement,

A lot of help, and of course some irritation to my stupidity. These people are all people I need to thank. What I am today is inseparable from your help. And the one I need to thank the most is my

The players on the team, it is my lifelong blessing to be able to work with you and me."

Li Bin's words caused a lot of controversy in Serie A. Although he said that the reason for his decision was because he believed that he could no longer take Parma further, almost everyone understood the real reason for his doing so.

, he wanted to leave because the Parma team was too small and too poor to adapt to his ambitions.

And the words in his words were said to be grateful for Serie A's help to him, but in fact they were simply saying in irony that the Italian environment was too bad, too bad, he hated the environment here, and that's why he wanted to leave.

Li Bin's words caused an uproar throughout Italy. They all knew that Li Bin wanted to leave, but they didn't expect that before leaving, Li Bin left them such a letter, which was clearly sarcastic.

It was still a letter of thanks. The hint of irony in the letter made the Italian media a little dissatisfied, but they all understood that as the head coach of Parma, and as a Champions League-level coach, Li Bin would be useless even if he yelled at them.

People can refute, and Li Bin's doing this also gives them face.

Therefore, after Li Bin left, the Serie A media could not say anything dissatisfied: in the past few years, they were not friendly to Li Bin, but Li Bin blessed them so generously that they were all quite respectful.

Ashamed. The media only expressed blessings to Li Bin and hoped that he would have better development in his new place. But what was rare was that they did not say any more unpleasant things.

Those who couldn't believe this were the Parma fans. They thought that after winning the Champions League, Li Bin would have to stay, but they didn't expect that Li Bin still wanted to leave. They surrounded Li Bin's residence.

I wanted to persuade him to stay. However, at this time, people knew that Li Bin had left Parma for vacation. Not only Li Bin, but the entire Parma coaching staff could not even be found.

Li Bin had been ready to leave a long time ago, so how could he leave them such an opportunity for entanglement? Parma's coaching staff had already submitted their resignations early, and they had already sold their houses in Parma and traveled to other places.

Went.

And Parma fans didn't have much time to dwell on this matter. Soon, new troubles came out of Parma: the Champions League champion team was originally a team that was watched by all teams.

After Li Bin announced his departure, Parma's players immediately became trading commodities. Before the heat of Li Bin's resignation subsided, the transactions one after another had already shocked Serie A.

First of all, Inter Milan spent 26 million euros to buy forward Milito from Parma. As one of Parma's most valued players in the past two seasons, he has always been favored by Inter Milan's boss Moratti.

As Nuo began to deteriorate, Moratti gave up on Adriano and recruited him to Inter Milan.

And Moratti, who got Milito, expressed his views very excitedly in front of the media, "Inter Milan now has the last forward line in Serie A, and even in the world. The combination of Milito and Ibrahimovic will make

The whole world is trembling."

It is unknown whether the whole world is trembling. Anyway, Parma fans were trembling with anger because of this deal. However, when they looked at Parma's next transaction, they had no trembling thoughts.

.

Soon, Parma made a second deal. Their main attacking midfielder, Arshavin, who was considered the most promising player for the Ballon d'Or, was offered 45 million by Real Madrid, and negotiations began.

"A player like Arshavin is only sold for 45 million. Is Parma really so poor that they are crazy, or have they lost their brains as soon as Li Bin left?"

The media also have great opinions on this deal, but now Parma has no suitable reason even if they want to not let him go. With Li Bin gone, the team's performance next season cannot be guaranteed. They gave

Arshavin's salary is not comparable to Real Madrid's, and Arshavin's salary to Par

Elma has made enough contributions and is fully worthy of Parma's cultivation of him. Even if they want to keep people, there is not enough reason. They can only hope to delay the matter until after the European Cup. I hope that after the European Cup, Arshavin

If the performance is not good, Real Madrid will cancel the idea.

However, although they can delay one transaction, they cannot block other transactions. Selling Milito also showed that Arshavin is not unsellable, which made the whole world take notice. Parma in Serie A now has the door open.

, their players can be bought by anyone, which also makes the teams that covet Parma players start to make offers.

Immediately afterwards, Juventus proposed the introduction of Parma defender Agger, Naples once again proposed the introduction of Parma's Cannavaro, while Fiorentina hoped to buy goalkeeper Frei, and Milan proposed that they wanted to let the contract go.

Expired Crespo to Milan

Go... Parma's age levels are very good, and the level of the players is also quite strong. Whether they want to buy young players to train, or want to save money by exempting veterans, they can find people. This makes Parma

Almost everyone at the top and bottom received the offer.

"The current players in Parma have won the championships they deserve. They are eager for new challenges and should face new challenges."

Although the media's words are subtle, their meaning is just one sentence: It's time for Parma to fall apart.

After Li Bin left, the whole of Parma seemed to have lost the chickens protected by the old hen, and all of a sudden became delicacies in the eyes of every strong team. When Li Bin was here, he could rely on future honors to attract fans and continue to work hard.

, continue to play football, but now, Li Bin has left, and Parma is full of honors. The players have no reason to stay in the small team and play. Now, they all want to leave.

The media understands these things and the players understand them, but it is difficult for the fans to accept it. Just after becoming the Champions League champion, the team fell apart like this, which is difficult for the fans to accept.

"Parma has become a supermarket for selling players overnight. Almost all the players have to leave. If this continues, what will Parma become? If they really agree to all their demands, then next year, I will be very interested to know.

, who will Parma use to play in the Champions League?"

The media is also full of comments about the current situation in Parma. Everyone thought that after Li Bin left, Parma might fall apart, but no one thought that Parma would be destroyed so quickly!

A team that seemed to be strong enough to make the top clubs in Europe bow to its knees unexpectedly ended like this. This made fans all over Italy lament. Li Bin was only one person, but he was the only one.

With his departure, Parma has changed from a championship team to a second-rate Serie A team. How can people not sigh?

"Perhaps we really should consider reforms, otherwise, how many times will we have to endure the demise of good teams in the future!"

Parma quickly responded to the fans' dissatisfaction. On the one hand, they announced that Rossi, one of the team's core players, was definitely not for sale. On the other hand, they asked Milan to introduce Parma's former core player Gilardino.

, to please the Parma fans. At the same time, they also said that before Li Bin left, he recommended Allegri as the team's new coach, and they would do it. They also said that they believed that Parma would still be as strong in the future.

of.

However, these arrangements did not alleviate the fans' anger much, and soon, another news arrived, making them even more angry: Manchester City, far away in the Premier League, ushered in the ownership of the Abu Dhabi consortium.

As their new coach, Mancini stated when he took office that they would introduce right back Zabaleta and midfielder Motta from Parma to strengthen their team.

"Even Mancini dared to come to our team to poach people! Who was he when Li was still here? The guy who suffered under Li time and time again dared to poach our people now!"

The fans are even more dissatisfied. They are not dissatisfied that Parma has been poached again, but they are dissatisfied that in the eyes of the players, the future Parma will be inferior to Mancini's team. Is it as strong as the past? This

No matter how people believe it, the current players all think that Mancini is more promising than the current Parma!

This is completely unforgivable. As a Champions League champion, how could he be so miserable?

"The era of Parma is over. When we had Li Bin, we were the most powerful team in Serie A. No matter how strong the top three in the north were, they would not dare to underestimate the strength of Parma. No team can compete at the Tachini Stadium

, everyone must be wary of Parma's strength. Everyone must be humble here and not dare to compete with Parma.

However, now, all this is over, and the era of Parma's dominance of Serie A is over. Li Bin once joked that with him, the cow is the cow barrier, unbreakable, and can be called a more terrifying existence than the three devils of Serie A.

But now, we have to painfully announce that the era of Parma’s dairy industry is over!”
