King of World Football

Chapter 114: Rapid Blitz

AC Milan announced after the game that it officially terminated the contract with Fatih Trim, the coach who led the Turkish powerhouse Galatasaray to the 2000 UEFA Cup and the 2000 UEFA Super Cup. Obviously some misnomers.

He was replaced by the Italian Carlo Ancelotti, who had managed Juventus for the previous three seasons, but only led the Old Lady to two league runner-ups and a pheasant Intertoto Cup , so sadly dismiss get out of class.

Since this season, he has been idle at home until AC Milan's team manager Stewart Kunde found him, hoping that he can take over the mess left by Trim.

For AC Milan, An Shuai's coaching resume is not considered successful, but he was born in the Italian league and knows the bottom line of Serie A, so in the absence of a better choice, the club's top management decided to let him try.

.........

In the middle of the week, Inter Milan sits at home and ushers in the blue team Chelsea from afar.

The visiting team lined up a four-four-two formation, goalkeeper Cudicini, defender Le Saux, Gallas, Terry and Melchiot, midfielder Zenden, Petit, Lampard and Zola, striker Gude Johansen and Hasselbaink.

Chelsea's record this season is not very good, currently ranked sixth in the league, and the only trophies that can be competed for are the FA Cup and the Europa League. The main reason for this phenomenon is that the club has a serious financial deficit. Even player bonuses have shrunk. relatively low.

At the beginning of the season, they spent a lot of money on rebuilding the stands of the Stamford Bridge Stadium, and then made frequent moves in the transfer market to form the current lineup. In addition to the construction of luxury hotels and other expenses, it can be said that they cannot make ends meet.

However, the top management of the club is currently actively seeking external investment. It is said that the Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich is interested in Chelsea.

Therefore, they urgently need to show Abramovich's level of performance and prove Chelsea's potential to him, so as to gain an advantage in the market. The European war against Inter Milan is their opportunity to perform!

.........

"Beep~" The referee Quinton Brengart stopped the game again. In the 7th minute, Gresco made a long pass from the midfield to the defense line, and Wang Feng quickly moved forward to pass from the Chelsea defender. Gallas and Terry rushed past.

But Terry immediately raised his hand to signal offside, the line referee hesitated for a while before raising the flag, the referee believed the line referee's decision, Wang Feng had no choice but to accept it.

"Let's take a look at the back-to-defense in slow motion. It can be seen that this is a controversial penalty. The moment the ball was released, Wang Feng was still half a body behind the defense."

"This is the second time this kind of penalty has been issued in this game. Wang Feng's speed is too fast, and Chelsea's defense frequently signals offside, which is also a kind of pressure on the linesman."

After the start of the game, both Inter Milan and Chelsea played very proactively. The two sides made a simple test, and then set up a counterattack.

Two minutes later, after Chelsea central defender Lampard and Petit cooperated with each other, they sent a cross. Hasselbaink in the penalty area was defended by Materazzi and barely reached the ball, but the strength was not enough. , was confiscated by Inter Milan goalkeeper Toldo.

In the 31st minute of the game, Chelsea got a free kick in the frontcourt. Lampard took the penalty. When he lobbed the ball into the penalty area, Zanetti and Gudjohnsen were fighting for the spot.

Gudjohnsen put his hands on Zanetti's waist, secretly trying to push him away, while Zanetti put his elbows on Gudjohnsen's chest, and the movements of both of them were a bit big.

In the end, Zanetti was slightly better, squeezed Gudjohnsen away, grabbed the first spot, and pushed the ball out of the bottom line, while Gudjohnsen lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"Beep~" The referee's whistle sounded again, and he walked into the penalty area while pointing to the penalty spot!

Inter Milan was awarded a penalty! Zanetti and other players were unacceptable. They surrounded the referee and explained that they had not fouled just now.

But the on-duty referee, the German Brengart, still insisted on his penalty and warned Inter Milan to disperse quickly, otherwise they would draw their cards.

"Let's take a look at the slow-motion replay. Zanetti's elbow did touch the opponent during the fight, but this should be a qualified confrontation. The referee's penalty kick is obviously too strict."

"Inter Milan is facing an unfavorable situation. I haven't broken the deadlock yet, so I want to let the opponent get the away goal first?"

Wang Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead. He felt that today's referee was indeed too harsh on Inter Milan. He was blown offside a few times before, and now he was awarded a penalty kick. Is this still their home court?

But this is a football game, and unexpected situations can happen at any time.

Hasselbaink took the penalty and he made it overnight, scoring a valuable goal for Chelsea.

The backward Inter Milan broke the boat and launched a fierce offensive against Chelsea's defense.

In the 41st minute, Inter Milan goalkeeper Toldo took the kick and kicked the ball towards the midfield.

The midfielder Consicao ferried the header to Recoba, and Recoba made a diagonal pass to the right. Wang Feng quickly jumped in to catch up with the ball, and got the ball near the penalty area. From the backcourt to the frontcourt Transfer, Inter Milan only took a dozen seconds!

After Wang Feng got the ball, facing Chelsea defender Le Saux, he first pretended to cut in to the left, but actually poked the ball to the right.

The human ball broke through Le Saux's defense and made a pass near the baseline.

The ball passed Gallas at the front point and came to the front of the small penalty area. Vieri jumped forward and rushed forward like a cannonball. He just hit the flying ball, and the ball quickly changed its flight trajectory. Direct refraction hit the net.

"goooooooooooooooal! The goal is in! The diving goal from Vieri is fantastic, the counterattack of Inter Milan is too fast."

"From Toldo kicking the ball to Vieri's goal, it took less than forty seconds to penetrate Chelsea's entire defense."

"Inter Milan played a quick blitz, which is a typical non-Serie A attacking method, which is too surprising."

After Vieri scored a goal, he rushed to the sidelines excitedly and interacted with the fans in the stands. Since this season, he feels that he has played more smoothly on the front line. All this is because of Wang Feng's organization on the offensive end, not only The pressure on him was greatly reduced, and even injuries were almost far away from him.

You must know that in the 00-01 season, Vieri only played 27 times for Inter Milan due to injuries, and so far this season has exceeded the number of appearances last season.

Cooper's eyes on the coach's bench were full of brilliance. He did not expect that under the leadership of Wang Feng, Inter Milan organized another wave of successful attacks. Wang Feng's potential has not been tapped yet!

He is like a precious treasure, and the deeper you dig, the more you can feel his comprehensive ability.

With Vieri's goal, Inter Milan and Chelsea became 1:1 in the first half.

In the second half of the game, the mentality of the Chelsea players was obviously a little out of balance. They could play well in downwind situations, but once they were frustrated, they would face a sudden collapse.

In the first half, Inter Milan's rapid blitz organized by Wang Feng was a serious blow to their morale. The head coach Ranieri continued to direct the players' running positions and tactics on the sidelines, appearing very nervous.

This coach has coached many Serie A teams, including Cagliari, Naples, Fiorentina, Parma and even Juventus, but what really made him famous is that he brought the tactical thinking of Serie A defensive counterattack to Valencia , Laying the foundation for the next Champions League runner-up.

The current Inter Milan coach Cooper took over Valencia's coach after Ranieri stepped down and led the team to the Champions League final twice.

And Ranieri himself fell a big somersault at Atletico Madrid, which led to the team's relegation in the 99-00 season. He was also naturally fired by the club, and it took him six months to receive an invitation from Chelsea.

It can be said that Cooper has some suspicions of "picking peaches" in Valencia's performance.

With such a relationship, Ranieri did not want to fall in front of this Inter Milan, so he did a lot of psychological counseling for the team during the intermission, but the performance of the players on the field is still not enough As expected.

.........

In the 55th minute, Recoba's through ball from the front court came to the edge of the penalty area. Wang Feng quickly inserted it, first tipped the ball forward with his toes, and then accelerated past Le Saux on the back line.

At this time, Chelsea's goalkeeper Cudicini decisively chose to attack and fell to the ground to confiscate the ball. Wang Feng shot before he arrived. The ball avoided the goalkeeper's palm and flew towards the lower left corner of the goal.

Wang Feng also jumped up urgently, avoiding Cudicini who was rushing towards him, otherwise the two would definitely collide and be injured.

Le Saux chased the ball desperately, tried to block it before it crossed the goal line, but still couldn't do it.

2:1! Inter Milan overtook the score!

In the 71st minute, Zanetti sent a long oblique pass to find Di Biagio on the left side of the frontcourt. He unloaded the ball with a wonderful stop and then made a bottom pass.

Vieri, who was ambushing in the penalty area, failed to grab the first spot and let the ball come to the back point. Both Wang Feng and Chelsea defender Gallas were fighting for the ball.

Wang Feng's position was a bit unfavorable, he couldn't fight for the top with his head, so he subconsciously vacated sideways and volleyed directly with his right foot!

Gallas, who was stuck in his position, originally thought that the ball would definitely be blocked, but Wang Feng turned sideways in the air and stretched his body to the extreme, hitting the ball one step ahead of him.

With the sound of "bang", the ball quickly flew towards the upper right corner of the goal. Cudicini never expected that Wang Feng would shoot in this posture. just made it.

"goooooooooooooal! Goal scored! Wang Feng scored twice!"

"Wang Feng established the victory for Inter Milan! In a very unfavorable offensive position, he used a sideways volley to create a valuable goal!"

"Let's take a look at the slow-motion playback. Wang Feng almost completely turned sideways in the air, so he was able to hit the goal before Gallas. This movement is really beautiful!"

After the shot, Wang Feng fell to the ground lying on his side. His left arm suffered some shocks and caused some pain, but he didn't care about it. He looked up at the goal immediately. When he saw the ball hit the net, he got up excitedly. Rush to the sidelines.

He slid and knelt all the way to the corner kick area, pointing to the sky to celebrate. He was greeted by the cheers of the home fans and the warm embrace of his teammates.

When the referee blew the whistle for the whole game, the score on the scoreboard was 1:3, with the home team behind, Inter Milan won and entered the quarterfinals of the Europa League with one foot.

.........

The soldiers of Inter Milan who fought two consecutive games had to rush to Turin, Italy, and prepare to challenge the league leader Juventus in three days. Their exhaustion can be imagined.

Especially Wang Feng, he started the first two games and played the whole game, and he took on a lot of tasks on the offensive end. The head coach Cooper found him and wanted to check his physical condition with him.

"No problem, Mr. Cooper." Wang Feng said confidently. Although the continuous high-intensity competition has exhausted his body, it has not yet reached the level of fatigue and injury. Facing the current tense situation, he also wants to Take on more responsibility.

Cooper nodded and didn't say anything else. He felt that Wang Feng was definitely suitable to be a qualified team leader. He was hardworking, low-key, and full of responsibility. If all his players were like this, how much peace of mind would it be.

For Juventus, the situation of technical director Khalil Brenda has a similar feeling to the former AC Milan coach Trim, because he denied to the club chairman at the beginning of this season that Jan Koller, who was born in Ligue 1, and Wang Feng.

As a result, Jan Koller took off directly after joining Dortmund. Together with Brazilian striker Amoruso and Czech compatriot Rosicky, he formed a striker "trident" that shocked the Bundesliga, helping the club beat Bayern and Bayer Leverkusen to the top of the league.

Wang Feng's performance in Serie A was even more explosive. He not only led the scorer list, but also helped Inter Milan directly threaten Juventus' championship goal.

Although Brenda will certainly not be swept out like Trim, the club president Chiusano has already developed dissatisfaction with him.

Encountered two consecutive

The flat Juventus and the fiercely fought Inter Milan started a battle of dragons and tigers at the Allianz Stadium.

But the protagonist of this game is neither Trezeguet and Del Piero of Juventus, nor Wang Feng and Vieri of Inter Milan, but Ronaldo who came off the bench in the 40th minute!

Successive injuries and conflicts with the coaching staff have made him play very unsatisfactorily this season, often as if invisible~lightnovelpub.net~ But in order not to leave any regrets in Inter Milan, as long as he can play, Will go all out.

In the 43rd minute, Inter Milan launched a quick counterattack. Consicao took the ball to the frontcourt and gave it to Ronaldo on the left.

In the 65th minute of the second half, Di Biagio made a cross from the left. Ronaldo made a volley sliding tackle on the edge of the small penalty area. His right toe touched the flying ball and refracted into the gate of Buffon's handle.

Relying on Ronaldo's brace and its own tenacious defense, Inter Milan defeated Juventus 2:0, tied the points again, and once again topped the list with a goal difference advantage!

In a luxurious private room on the stands, Brenda watched the club lose to the championship competitor with a livid face. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to them.

The only thing that is gratifying is that Wang Feng did not perform well in this game, so that he does not have to bear the eyes of Chairman Chiusano for the time being, but the team's excessive attention and guard against Wang Feng is also one of the reasons why Ronaldo can explode one.

"Fortunately, Ronaldo and Cooper are at odds, and there is a high probability that they will leave after the end of this season." Brenda silently thought that some Spanish media have already begun to hype the "alien" coming to the Bernabeu.
