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

While adding personnel, Parma also chose to add to the coaching team.

After all, the team is now facing more games, and they also need a more professional team to guide the players.

In the physical coach, they added an Italian named Roberto Ferrola.

Ferrola is 58 years old this year and has very rich professional experience. He has played for Rome, Pescara and Cagliari.

Since De Zerbi's tactics require very high physical fitness, they need to invest more in physical coaches.

In addition, the team doctor also found an Italian named Gasparini, who has held important positions in clubs such as AC Milan and Watford.

These are all their preparations for coping with multi-line operations.

In addition, Crespo also officially took over the position of director of the team, and of course he also served as vice chairman.

And Parma's vacant football director finally has a person of weight.

After everything was ready, Parma also began preparations for the new season.

They played several warm-up matches, and the results were neither good nor bad, mainly focusing on training and recovery.

The new players also showed good abilities, which made De Zerbi very happy.

Just as they were playing warm-up matches, the schedule for the new Serie A season was officially released.

When they saw their opponents in the first round, they were suddenly filled with mixed feelings.

Because their opponent was Juventus!

Rossi couldn't help but complain: "I don't know what the Italian Football Association is doing. Last season, we had to face strong opponents at the beginning, and this season, we had another strong opponent at the beginning. Isn't this just disgusting!"

Matteo was excited: "If we want to achieve higher goals, we have to beat every opponent. So what about Juventus!"

Rossi curled his lips: "Okay, you are motivated, you are amazing..."

Matteo kicked him out.

After the schedule came out, the odds of winning the championship in the new season were also updated.

Juventus is still ranked first. They have won the championship for eight consecutive times and continued to strengthen their team this summer. It is obvious that they are going to defend their title.

Napoli is ranked second. Ancelotti's team also spent a lot of money to strengthen the lineup this summer. They obviously want to have higher goals.

Inter Milan is ranked third. Conti, Barrera and Lukaku are their biggest reinforcements.

Roma is ranked fourth, Lazio is fifth, Atalanta is sixth, and AC Milan is seventh.

Parma is ranked ninth, even worse than Torino.

This made Matteo laugh.

Parma was one of the top three teams last season. Is it so unappreciated?

Besides, it's okay if it can't beat the top seven, but it can't beat Torino?

In terms of odds, Juventus leads the gap, the second and third places are in the same tier, and the rest of the teams are in the same tier.

This shows that the bookmakers still believe that the championship will not fall into the hands of teams outside the top three.

Of course, Juventus's chances of winning the championship are still far ahead.

As the new season approaches, various team previews have been released.

Matteo still focused on the experts' evaluation of Parma.

"Parma's actions in the summer transfer window were also not small. They sold Romero and introduced two unknown central defenders, which will definitely affect their defensive strength. However, they still made reinforcements in the frontcourt, and Diogo Jota's joining should make their offensive firepower more powerful. Overall, their defense this year will become a hidden danger."

"In addition to the strength factor, their biggest problem is fighting on two fronts. You know, small teams will easily collapse when they experience two-front fighting. There are countless examples of this in history. So Parma should make a choice. Of course, I am not encouraging them to give up the Champions League, but it is too difficult to succeed on both fronts..."

Matteo looked at their evaluations, which were quite fair, but they did not understand the strength of Parma's new players at all.

In his opinion, Parma's strength in the new season is definitely a big step up, and the new players will definitely surprise everyone.

Time quickly came to August 24, 2019.

This day is the day of the first round of the new Serie A season.

Parma is at home to face the defending champion Juventus!

This game also attracted the attention of countless fans.

They are all very curious whether Parma, who won one win and one draw against Juventus last season, can reproduce the miracle at home.

Parma's home stadium, Ennio Tardini Stadium, is also full of fans at this time. Although the ticket price for this game is higher than that of ordinary stadiums,The second is much more expensive, but this still can't stop their enthusiasm to watch the game on site.

An hour before the game, the starting lineups of both sides were announced.

On the Parma side, they still used the familiar 4231 formation.

Goalkeeper Vicario, back line Di Lorenzo, Dotti, Kim Min-jae, Cambiasso, midfielder Rossi, Tonali and McAllister, forward Gervinho, Jota and Mateo.

There are two new players in their lineup, it seems that De Zerbi trusts them very much.

Juventus also used the 4231 formation, goalkeeper Szczesny, back line De Sciglio, Bonucci, Chiellini, Sandro, midfielder Khedira, Matuidi and Pjanic, forward Cuadrado, Ronaldo and Higuain.

It is worth mentioning that a familiar figure appeared on the bench of Juventus.

That person is the double star of Parma and Juventus, the former world's number one goalkeeper, Buffon!

This season, he returned to Serie A from Paris Saint-Germain and finally chose to join his old club Juventus.

In fact, Alessandro was really tempted to let Buffon go home, but after all, his salary requirements are not low, and it is difficult for him to shake Vicario's position now. Parma cannot afford a high-paid second goalkeeper, so the deal was not finally completed.

Buffon looked deeply at the stadium at this time, and his eyes could not help but think of what happened 20 years ago.

At that time, he played for Parma in this stadium. At that time, Parma was really high-spirited and it was also the most glorious moment in the team's history.

Twenty years have passed in a flash. Parma has experienced ups and downs, and has also gone through bankruptcy and reorganization, but they have finally stood up again.

I wonder if they can reproduce their former glory this time?

Just as his thoughts were flying, the players from both sides began to enter the field.

The noise of the fans was suddenly magnified countless times, and the flash lights kept shining on the players.

This is undoubtedly a focus battle!

After a series of pre-match ceremonies, the referee looked at his watch and blew a whistle, announcing the start of the game!
