Football: Take away half of Boss Mei's skills at the beginning

A few hours after defeating Atalanta, Parma had another surprise.

Inter Milan lost to Lazio at home, so Parma surpassed Inter Milan and ranked third in the standings!

Three days later, they beat Frosinone 2-0 away, continuing to maintain a good competitive state.

However, in the next round of games three days later, due to continuous fighting, their state was very average, and they were finally tied 1-1 by Torino at home.

In this game, Gervinho left the field due to injury, which was a heavy blow to Parma.

However, Parma's competitors did not seize the opportunity. Inter Milan was tied by Atalanta at home in this round, and their points gap was still three points.

The next day, Gervinho's injury report came out.

Thigh muscle strain, expected to be absent for four to six weeks.

Now there is more than a month before the Serie A will end, which also means that Parma will lack the Ivorian winger at the critical moment of the fight for the top four.

In the 32nd round of the league away game against Sassuolo, Parma, who lacked explosive points, had no way to deal with the iron bucket formation, and the two sides finally tied 0-0.

This also reduced their lead to only one point!

In this case, they faced the challenge of AC Milan at home.

This game is very critical for Parma, because their recent state is average, which greatly shortens the distance between them and the pursuers behind them.

If Parma can't get good results in this game, they will be in danger.

Now the Rossoneri are ranked sixth, and they also retain the hope of entering the Champions League, so they will definitely go all out in this game.

In this game, Parma simply abandoned the traditional 4231 formation and changed it to 3421.

Their starting lineup in this game is Vicario, Romero, Dotti, Bastoni, Klaus, Tonali, Soucek, Cambiasso, McAllister, Odegaard and Mateo.

Rossi was suspended due to accumulated yellow cards and missed this game.

AC Milan's formation is 4231, with goalkeeper Donnarumma, back line Conte, Romagnoli, Zapata, Ricardo Rodriguez, midfield trio Kessie, Bakayoko and Calhanoglu, two wingers Suso and Castillejo, and forward Piatek.

Compared with the last match, Gattuso adjusted several positions. It seems that he thinks the performance of the players in the last match is still problematic.

This game also attracted the attention of many fans. In this game, the beautiful anchor Leota of Sky Sports appeared on the scene again.

And this time, the guest invited by Sky Sports is still the old acquaintance Cassano.

The bad boy has played for Parma and AC Milan, and he is also a die-hard Inter Milan fan.

This complex composition and big mouth style make him very popular with the program crew, so he often goes to various guest shows.

Leota still asked the familiar question: "Mr. Cassano, what do you think of this game?"

Cassano shrugged: "Both teams are my old clubs. It is difficult for me to make a decision emotionally. But from a technical point of view, I am optimistic about this game. For Parma, Gervinho's absence makes their offense lack a burst point, which objectively affects their results. For AC Milan, their offense is overly dependent on Suso, which also makes them easily defended by the opponent. Both sides have hidden dangers, so I am more optimistic about a draw in this game."

Leota nodded: "Mr. Cassano is optimistic that this game will end in a draw. Will this game go according to his prediction? Let's wait and see!"

A few minutes later, the game officially started.

Although the formation was changed to three defenders, De Zerbi still attached great importance to the wing attack. He asked the two wingbacks to frequently advance to help the attacking trio open up space.

In the sixth minute, Parma created the first threat of the game.

Tonali passed the ball to Cambiasso on the left after intercepting it in the backcourt.

Cambiasso started to move forward with the ball and passed it to Odegaard before the opponent's right back Conte came up to press.

Odegaard took a few steps forward after receiving the ball and passed it to Mateo who retreated to the outside of the penalty area to receive the ball.

Mateo did not stop the ball, but directly passed it to Cambiasso who was advancing, and then he turned around and ran into the penalty area.

At this time, Cambiasso had a space to pass the ball, so he did not hesitate and directly kicked the ball at a 45-degree angle!

Mateo's running attracted the attention of Romagnoli and Zapata, but they ignored Macca who also advanced into the penalty area.Lister!

Cambiasso's cross was aimed at McAllister from the beginning!

The Argentine got rid of Bakayoko's defense and shot the ball!

Even Donnarumma couldn't react effectively to the ball!

But the ball hit the post and flew out of the bottom line!

Parma missed a very good opportunity.

After escaping the disaster, AC Milan also launched a counterattack.

In the twelfth minute, Kessi passed the ball to Calhanoglu in front, and the Turk passed the ball to Suso on the right.

Suso's personal ability is outstanding in the AC Milan team. Many attacks of the Rossoneri this season were initiated by him.

However, his biggest problem is that he plays too independently!

He dribbled the ball, dribbled past Cambiasso who was trying to steal the ball, and then continued to rush towards Parma's defense with the ball.

Facing Bastoni's defense, he chose to cut inside directly, and after a few steps, he chose to shoot from a distance!

The kick was too forced, so naturally it was not covered, and the football went out of the goal and flew out of the bottom line.

Piatek in front couldn't help but spread his hands, indicating that he should pass the ball.

But Suso just waved his hands and ran back.

Gattuso on the sidelines also waved his hands in dissatisfaction, muttering something.

Obviously, he was also very dissatisfied with Suso's handling of the situation.

But he had no choice, because the most threatening attacking point of the Rossoneri now was him.

In the 18th minute, AC Milan once again had a chance to counterattack.

Kessi passed the ball to Suso after intercepting the ball in the midfield.

Since the ball was intercepted when Parma was pressing forward, Parma's defense was a little empty at this time.

A three-on-three situation was formed in the frontcourt!

But Suso once again ignored Castillejo's request for the ball on the left, and he forced the ball inside and plunged into the encirclement of Dotti and Bastoni!

At this time, he wanted to pass the ball again, but Dotti directly kicked it away!

Because of his single pass, AC Milan once again missed a great counterattack opportunity!
