At 21:30 Beijing time on January 30, the 19th round of Serie B continued, with Parma playing at home against Crotone. In the first half, Frank Vázquez took the lead in the world wave, and in the second half Maras completed a great draw, and the two sides played 1-1! Parma changed from 3 points to 1 point, and did not win in two consecutive rounds, leaving Buffon quite helpless.
Parma was once one of the seven sisters of Serie A, winning the Italian Cup three times, winning the Europa League twice, as well as 1 European Super Cup, 1 European Cup Winners' Cup, and only 1 Champions League to complete the European Honor Grand Slam. Once upon a time, Parma was also the youth of many fans, but last season they were unfortunately relegated from Serie A as the penultimate number one.
This season, the 43-year-old Buffon left Juve, joined Parma without a visa, and returned to the place where the dream began, but unfortunately Parma's overall strength is not good, Mo said that it is a championship, that is, even the side of the promotion play-off can not be touched.
In the 37th minute, Parma won a free kick in front of the field, And frank Vazquez played an exaggerated arcing ball, hit the left upright and bounced into the net, 1-0!
From the slow motion, Frank Vázquez's free-kick was really superb, looking in the air to go out of bounds, only to suddenly drill into a dead corner, and the opposing goalkeeper whipped long. Frank Vázquez was also overjoyed, running wildly with open arms to celebrate, followed by a domineering slip to kneel.
However, as Parma will take away three points at home, the game was dramatic. In the 88th minute, the Parma defence suddenly short-circuited, Maras seized the opportunity to push the shot, Buffon watched the ball into the net, 1-1! The 44-year-old Buffon was helpless, shaking his head with his hands crossed at the waist.
Parma coach Akini exploded, he desperately spread his hands on the sidelines, his expression was quite vicious, and he even couldn't help but swear words.
This 1-1, put Parma a major blow, first they met Crotone 3 times, the result is 1 draw and 2 defeats without winning. Second, Parma's 3 points became 1 point, and they have not tasted victory since entering 2022. Third, Parma have won two consecutive rounds, with only 1 point in 1 draw and 1 loss.
After 20 rounds of Serie B, Parma have only 24 points with 5 wins, 9 draws and 6 losses, ranking only 13th in the table, 8 points away from 8th Place Ascoli and only 4 points from Alessandria in the relegation zone.
According to the rules of Serie B, the champions and runners-up are directly promoted to Serie A, the 3rd to 8th teams participate in the brutal promotion play-offs, the 6 teams compete for the last upgrade ticket, and the last 3 are directly relegated. From this point of view, Parma has little hope of upgrading, and is getting closer and closer to the relegation play-offs.
