After qualifying early, the remaining three rounds of matches were all exhibition matches.
Even Matteo went to Mancini to discuss whether he could say he had diarrhea and not go to Liechtenstein.
Mancini was obviously stunned when he heard his request: "Are you kidding me?"
Matteo laughed: "I won't play anyway, so I can save the air ticket..."
Mancini looked at him like a fool: "We can charter a plane to save a lot of air tickets..."
Matteo winked: "Can't we save the room fee..."
Mancini shrugged: "It's not my money..."
Matteo sighed: "Okay, just treat it as a public travel."
Mancini smiled: "You have to abide by the rules, we are not allowed to go out!"
Matteo glanced at him: "Coach, I think you are targeting me."
Mancini said: "Why don't you go to Liechtenstein?"
Matteo smiled: "I want to go back for my birthday!"
Mancini said: "Isn't the birthday cake I bought for you a few days ago delicious?"
On Matteo's 18th birthday, he was training with the national team, and Mancini prepared a cake for him.
Mateo rolled his eyes: "How dare you say that? I didn't even get to eat the cake. Rossi, that shameless guy, slammed the cake on my face..."
Mancini laughed, but he just didn't let him leave the team.
Seeing that playing the emotional card was useless, Mateo could only leave helplessly.
Mancini looked at his back and couldn't help but think of the black kid named Mario.
They were equally talented, but Mario was not as smooth and obedient as Mateo.
I really treated him as a junior I valued and cultivated him, but Mario was ruined by his brain.
Now Mateo has all the qualities to become a great striker, and I hope he can walk out of a different career trajectory from Mario.
Matteo did not play in the game three days later. He watched the whole game on the bench and almost caught a cold.
After the game, Mateo and Rossi and others returned to Parma together.
After returning to Parma, Alessandro and Claire celebrated Matteo's 18th birthday together.
Since he was training with the national team on his birthday, October 10, they just gave him the gift in advance, and the birthday party was postponed to after the national team's match day.
Matteo still felt very happy looking at the cake that his family prepared for him.
Although Mancini had prepared a cake for him on that day, teammates and family are different after all.
After his 18th birthday, he still had another halo in his mind.
Now he has ten halos in his mind, but their utilization rate is still not high.
There is no way, he can't go around the world to find celebrities and shake hands with them one by one, right?
Besides, he doesn't look down on ordinary people, and it's not very meaningful to get the skills of mediocre people.
After his birthday, Matteo devoted himself to preparing for the next game.
The intensity of the Italian national team's game this time was not high, so the few people selected for the national team did not suffer much loss.
Although other players were physically tired due to the national team games, with these Italian players, they should be able to get through the next game smoothly this time.
The next game is Parma's home game against Genoa.
Genoa is in very poor form this season, and now ranks second from the bottom in the standings, becoming a hot candidate for relegation.
The gap between their strength and Parma is still not small, so in this game, Parma scored two goals in the first half, basically locking the victory of the game.
And De Zerbi also replaced Matteo at the beginning of the second half, allowing him to save his energy to deal with the Champions League in the middle of the week.
In the end, Parma easily defeated Genoa 2-0 at home, and achieved an impressive record of seven wins and one loss in the first eight rounds of the new season, still ranking first in the standings.
Today, they have undeniably become a strong team in the Serie A arena!
As long as they are given enough time to grow, they are likely to achieve higher achievements!
On the third day after playing Genoa, they will set off on an away journey again.
Their next opponent will be the strongest opponent in the Champions League group stage, Manchester City!
Although according to the principle of qualifying from the group stage, this game is not a must-win for Parma, but for De Zerbi, this game is undoubtedly a very good opportunity.
An opportunity to fight with the master of control flow Guardiola!
De ZerbiGuardiola played a big role in De Zerby's path to becoming a head coach.
He had once seen Guardiola's Barcelona and then he had the idea of becoming a head coach, and many of his tactics were based on Guardiola's tactical thinking.
For this game, De Zerby also made rotations in the last game, and now his main players have no physical problems.
He plans to use all his life's learning in this game!
At the pre-match press conference, De Zerby brought Mateo with him.
Guardiola and De Bruyne attended the press conference on the Manchester City side.
Both sides are head coaches and absolute core configurations.
When De Zerby saw Guardiola, he immediately stood up and shook hands with him, with a hint of respect and excitement in his eyes.
Guardiola is definitely his idol and guide in his coaching career, and this time he finally saw a living person!
Matteo on the side couldn't help but complain in his heart, our head coach is so uncalm...
You have to maintain a master's demeanor!
Of course, although he complained about De Zerbi, he had to go up and shake hands when it was time to shake hands.
After all, this bald and fat man was also a first-class defensive midfielder when he was a player, and his skills should not be wasted!
He even almost took away Comrade Ding Ding's skills when shaking hands with him.
But he still kept his bottom line.
It's bad enough that Ding Ding's wife was taken away by his teammates, we can't smash his rice bowl!
The atmosphere before the game was still very harmonious, and Guardiola even made a few jokes with De Zerbi.
Guardiola played in Serie A in the later stage of his career, so he also mastered some Italian.
Just as they were greeting each other, the press conference officially began.
The questions at the beginning were more official, so both sides answered them in a formal manner.
Until a reporter asked: "Mr. De Zerbi, some people say that your tactics are similar to Guardiola's. I wonder what you think about this issue."
De Zerbi smiled and said: "Indeed, many of my tactics are inspired by Mr. Guardiola. He really plays the football of my dreams!"
