Although they didn't win Naples away, Parma's performance was still recognized by most people.
They had two draws and one loss in the games against the top three teams in the league, which is not the performance of a relegation team at all.
Especially they were not at a disadvantage on the field, which was very scary.
However, they also exposed some problems, that is, the defense was really not good when the physical strength was too much in the second half.
This problem has actually been throughout De Zerbi's coaching career, and it is also a major obstacle to his further development.
Mateo certainly understands this drawback, and he can think of two solutions now.
First, find a powerful physical coach and trainer to develop a more professional physical training plan for the team and improve the team's physical level.
Second, improve the individual level of their own defense, just like Van Dijk to Liverpool.
However, the first method is very difficult. The better physical coaches are all watched by major clubs, and Parma's current size can't compete with them at all.
The second method is to wait for time, after all, the new Nesta of the youth team is not very good now...
Of course, he did not have high expectations for Parma this season, and the most important thing is to gain a firm foothold first.
However, he still had a regret for this game, that is, he did not catch the old fat man at the end of the game, and naturally he had no chance to get his skills.
Now Parma has got five points, surpassing Empoli by goal difference and coming to the 17th place in the standings.
This is also the first time they have bid farewell to the relegation zone since the first round.
And their opponent in the next game is this good brother who came up from Serie B.
This summer window Empoli's transfer effect is average, and their strength has not been strengthened a lot, so they were also listed as a relegation hot team at the beginning of the season.
If Parma wants to stay in the league, then this kind of opponent must be defeated.
Although they are brothers who have risen together, this situation of dying friends but not dying poor is not the time to consider brotherhood.
In this game, De Zerbi still arranged a 4231 formation, but rotated in appropriate positions.
Haaland, Di Gaudio and Juan Ramos appeared in the starting lineup.
Empoli lined up a 352 formation, with goalkeeper Puande, central defenders Silvestre, Meyeta, and Vesely, wingbacks Dix and Antonelli, midfielders Ismael Bennacer, Krunic, and Acqua, and forwards Caputo and Farias.
Now their strength is far behind Parma, and Parma is playing at home, so most people are optimistic about Parma's victory before the game.
And De Zerbi also asked the players to win the game with all their strength!
Time quickly came to September 30, 2018.
Parma played against Empoli at home.
Parma's strategy in this game was to attack with all their strength, so from the beginning they pressed hard towards Empoli's goal.
And this also made them quickly gain something.
In the twelfth minute, Gervinho got the ball on the right.
McAllister habitually came over to meet him, and the two made a continuous pass on the right side of the front court, and the ball was handed to the Argentine.
Originally, Gervinho thought he would continue to pass the ball back to him, but McAllister suddenly sent a straight pass!
Haaland started to move at the moment he passed the ball, he shook off the opponent's central defender and received the ball!
The two central defenders of the opponent, Vesely and Meyetta, failed to keep up with him, which made him face the goalkeeper with a single shot!
Facing such an opportunity, Haaland would never miss it.
He kicked and pushed the ball into the lower left corner of the goal!
One to zero, Parma took the lead at home!
And this also gave the fans at the scene a reassurance!
After quickly losing the ball, Empoli had no choice but to choose to press forward, because this game with the relegation opponent is also equivalent to a six-point battle. There is not much difference between losing one goal and losing two goals, but the difference between three points and one point is too big!
But this also completely exposed the loopholes in their back line to Parma!
In the 26th minute, Tonali intercepted the ball in the backcourt. He looked at the situation in the frontcourt and did not choose to pass it directly to McAllister, but directly sent the ball to the frontcourt with a long pass!
Haaland, who was playing a cat-and-mouse game with the back line, suddenly started to move!
When his long legs spread out, ordinary defenders could not stop him at all!
He shook off his opponent in just a few steps, and gently passed the ball in the direction of the football.Unload, and then start to move forward with the ball!
After taking another three or five steps, he has reached the 30-meter area!
The opponent's goalkeeper Puande rushed out to block his shooting angle.
But Haaland did not give him a chance and shot directly!
The football jumped past Puande and hit the goal directly!
2-0, Parma expanded its lead!
Haaland, who scored twice, was very excited. He yelled and ran towards the stands of diehard fans.
He did not play well in the previous game, so these two goals also made him completely express his depression!
The fans were also very powerful, shouting his name loudly: "Erling, Erling!"
And there was a special person in the stands of this game, that is, his father, old Haaland.
At this time, old Haaland was also very happy. He clapped hard and was proud of his son's wonderful performance.
But Haaland's performance in this game is not over yet.
In the 44th minute, Romero's long-footed clearance came to the midline.
Haaland leaned on central defender Meyetta and gently passed the ball back to McAllister, then began to run forward with big strides.
McAllister also sent a long pass directly to Gervinho who was advancing quickly.
Gervinho shook off left-back Antonelli and stopped the ball very beautifully.
At this time, there was an open area in front of him, and he began to run towards the penalty area with the ball!
Just as he was about to enter the penalty area, central defender Vesely came to defend.
Gervinho saw that he couldn't force his way into the penalty area, so he simply sent a cross directly!
Haaland had already come to the penalty area at this time. Under the obstruction of two central defenders, he jumped high and headed the ball towards the opponent's goal with a Taishan-like header!
Although he was not very good at heading at this time, he just felt an urge to complete such a header!
The heads of Mayeta and Sylvester even only reached his chest, which had no effect on his header!
The header was very powerful, and the opponent's goalkeeper Puande had no way to stop it!
The football hit the goal without any suspense!
Three to zero!
Haaland completed a hat trick in just half a game!
After scoring the goal, Haaland sat on the sidelines and celebrated by meditating!
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It feels so good to eat people!"
