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

After falling behind, Shakhtar Donetsk's formation began to press forward.

Like Parma, they also regarded their opponents as the biggest competitors for qualifying.

After all, Manchester City is an opponent that they can only look up to, so they have to concentrate on getting good results in the match against Parma.

For them, not losing to Parma away is their bottom line.

However, the consequence of their all-out attack is the loosening of the back line.

This also gives Parma plenty of counterattack space.

In the 31st minute, McAllister got the ball in the midfield. He looked forward and directly sent a long pass over the top to the back of the miners' defense.

And Haaland started to move at the moment he passed the ball. He first had a strong shoulder-to-shoulder collision with the opponent's central defender Esmaili, then shook off the pull of another central defender Matuyeko, and chased the football with his long legs!

This is his favorite rhythm. He did not feel soft when facing the opponent's goalkeeper Piatov alone, and directly pushed the ball into the goal with a far corner.

In terms of visual effects, his goal was quite impactful!

Mateo couldn't help but nod secretly, this is the familiar Majin Buu!

With two goals in hand, Parma played more freely.

Although the miners were still trying hard to attack, they still failed to break through Parma's door. Instead, Parma scored a goal in the second half through a counterattack by substitute Soucek, thus locking the score at 3-0.

After winning the first two games of the Champions League, Parma still ranked first in the standings with a goal difference advantage, and the situation for qualifying was very good.

The two young forwards in the team scored three goals after the two games, tied for the top of the scorer list, which made the whole European football world look at them.

If they were only well-known in Serie A before, now they have also entered the field of vision of many fans in other countries.

It has to be said that the Champions League is more influential than Serie A.

Many wealthy clubs have also included Haaland in their observation range.

Such an excellent young center forward can only play rotation in Parma, which is undoubtedly a waste of talent.

Mateo and his team can't buy him, but Haaland is still very promising!

Of course, they are only in the inspection stage now, after all, there is still some time before the transfer window opens.

After playing against Shakhtar, Parma immediately set off to challenge SPAL away.

Spal's strength is naturally incomparable to Parma, and De Zerbi also made changes in the formation in this game, arranging a 352 formation.

Messias finally got the coveted starting opportunity, and he formed the front line with Mateo.

Mateo also knew that it was not easy for him, so in this game Mateo did his best to make cakes for him, and he lived up to expectations and completed two goals, helping the team to beat the opponent 3-1.

After defeating SPAL, Parma finally completed this wave of intensive schedule.

They won all the games in this wave, which is absolutely very satisfying.

But the players couldn't rest, because the next is the international match day, and they have to be called up to the national team.

De Zerbi really hopes that none of the players in his team will be called up, but the reality is difficult to be as he wishes.

This time Parma has called up more than ten people, which makes De Zerbi very depressed.

This almost takes away all their main lineup, which will almost certainly affect their next game.

However, he can't blow up the FIFA headquarters...

European teams still have to participate in the European Cup qualifiers this time, but for Italy, these two games are relatively easy.

Now they have won all the six games that have been played. They are now six points ahead of Finland, which ranks second, and nine points ahead of Armenia, which ranks third. The situation of qualifying is very good.

Since the top two teams in the group stage qualify, Italy only needs to get four points in the next four games to guarantee qualification.

And their next four opponents are Greece, Liechtenstein, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Armenia. It is still easy to get four points from them.

Mancini also acted like a man, telling the players in the team that they would be rotated in the next game to ensure that they had a certain amount of rest time.

In fact, Mancini has always been a relatively kind head coach. He still can't do the animal behavior of England's Southgate, who made the opponent play in a friendly match.

So, in the home game against Greece, he put Mateo in the starting lineup.

He assured Mateo,After this game, Matteo can rest. He will never play a minute against Liechtenstein.

Matteo sighed. Why can't I go on the field to brush Liechtenstein?

But who let him be the head coach?

He is the farmer, we are the donkey pulling the mill. He says how many laps to turn and they have to turn as many laps as he wants...

Fortunately, the game against Greece was on October 13, more than a week after the previous away game against SPAL, which made him in good physical condition.

He had a strong presence in the game. With his support, Italy's offense was very successful.

In the 15th minute, he sent a straight pass after getting the ball in the middle. Insigne on the left got the ball and rushed into the penalty area. Facing the goalkeeper, he easily pushed the ball into the goal and helped Italy take the lead.

In the 36th minute, Berardi on the left cut inside and passed the ball to him. He gently passed it back, and Barrera, who inserted from behind, met the ball and shot, expanding the score to 2-0.

In the 44th minute, he finally scored his own goal.

Verratti took a corner kick, Bonucci at the front point touched the ball, and he gently cushioned the ball at the back point and sent the ball into the goal of the Greek team.

He completed the task ahead of time and was replaced by Belotti by Mancini in the second half.

He also knew that he had clocked out early on this international match day.

Belotti, who came on as a substitute, was also very active. He also scored a goal with a header in the penalty area in the 74th minute.

Italy finally defeated Greece 4-0 at home and won seven consecutive qualifiers.

However, they never expected that in the other two group matches held on the same day, two unexpected results appeared in succession.

Finland was defeated 4-1 by Bosnia and Herzegovina away, and Armenia was tied 1-1 by the bottom team Liechtenstein away!

After this round, the points gap between third-place Armenia and Italy has widened to 11 points.

This also means that Italy has secured its place in the European Cup three rounds in advance!
