Chapter 138: Rain Fights and Injuries

On the night of September 18th, the first round of the UEFA Champions League group stage is being held at the Lekendal Stadium in Trondheim, Norway. Rosenborg VS Inter Milan.

Inter Milan took full control of the situation from the start of the game. In the 3rd minute, Dalma organized an attack in the midfield and passed it to Recoba who inserted in the wing. The Uruguayan sent a cross into the penalty area.

The ball passed the two defenders smoothly and accurately found Wang Feng who was in the back. He volleyed without stopping the ball and opened the scoring for Inter Milan.

Five minutes later, Wang Feng received a long pass from Zanetti at the front of the penalty area. He stopped the ball with his back, then turned around and broke through. The confrontation ability is not in the same order of magnitude at all.

After entering the penalty area, Wang Feng naturally would not miss the opportunity, and pushed past the last defender to score the goal, extending the lead for Inter Milan.

In the 21st minute, Inter Milan launched another offensive. Di Biagio passed to Recoba in the penalty area from the left. Recoba rubbed the back of his foot and lobbed the ball to Vieri's side.

Under the interference of the defense, Vieri ferried the header to the penalty spot, and Wang Feng scored the ball with an upside-down golden hook.

In just 21 minutes, Wang Feng performed a hat-trick!

Afterwards, Inter Milan slowed down their attacking rhythm and began to consume time, but Rosenborg's defensive space was indeed too large. In the 34th minute, after Wang Feng received the ball from the right, he casually crossed into the penalty area.

Vieri, who was plugged in, shot directly at the ball, piercing the home team's defense again.

4:0! Now Rosenborg is a little anxious. If this continues, they will create a history of conceding goals by a large score, so their defensive actions have gradually become stronger.

In order not to cause conflicts, Inter Milan completely gave up their offense and relaxed a little on the defensive end. Unfortunately, Rosenborg still failed to score a goal.

Changing sides to fight again, Inter Milan replaced Wang Feng, Vieri and other main players, and replaced Batistuta who just joined. The 33-year-old veteran still has a strong offensive ability. The powerful long-range shot helped Inter Milan expand the score.

At the end of the game, Inter Milan won a free kick in the front court, and Zanetti directly hit the goal and pierced Rosenberg again.

The final score was locked at 6:0, Inter Milan beat Rosenborg

Just when Inter Milan defeated Rosenborg, Juventus drew 1:1 with Feyenoord, AC Milan beat Crones 2:1, and Roma lost 0:3 to Real Madrid. .

Even against underdogs, Wang Feng performed a hat-trick in his Champions League debut and contributed an assist, which shocked the European football world. The German "Bild" described it this way: "Wang Feng participated in the Europa League twice. He contributed 22 goals and 19 goals respectively, which shocked the world."

"Now that he has come to the stage of the Champions League, can he still lead the scorer list? Let us wait and see."

On the evening of September 22, Reggio Calabria, a city in southern Italy, was under heavy rain. At the Gran Lino Stadium, Inter Milan, who was wearing a white jersey, was playing the second round of Serie A with Reggina, who was wearing a red jersey. contest.

The rain dripped down his hair and onto his eyes, blurring Wang Feng's vision. He wiped off the water droplets with both hands, and ran helplessly looking for opportunities.

It's not that he hasn't experienced rain battles before, but this is the first time he has played in such a heavy rain, and he can hardly see the opponent's goal. If the rain is heavier, it is estimated that the game will be delayed.

The heavy rain seriously hindered the performance of both sides, especially Inter Milan. Compared with the newly promoted Reggina, their pass control level is higher, and they will definitely be able to overwhelm the opponent under normal circumstances.

However, it was already difficult to pass and control the ball normally on the soggy field. Both sides made mistakes continuously. In the opening 30 minutes, they still failed to create a shot.

In the 35th minute, after Vieri received the ball in the middle, he was about to break through with the ball, but suddenly his foot slipped and fell to the ground without confrontation.

Seeing that Vieri had been lying on the ground in pain, Reggina defender Morabito kicked the ball out of the sideline very friendly, and then Inter Milan's team doctor entered the field for simple treatment.

"Muscle strain!" The team doctor Hurt judged with an ugly face. He shook his head and signaled Cooper on the sidelines to make a substitution. Cooper thought it was just a minor injury after slipping and falling in the rain. Batistuta can be replaced in his place.

In the first half, the two sides were tied. After the Inter Milan players entered the locker room, they asked the staff about Vieri's situation, but were told that he would miss at least the next two months of the game.

The atmosphere in the locker room was very dull. Materazzi said depressedly: "Vieri told me before that he was very lucky last season and didn't get injured. I didn't expect to be recruited at the beginning of this season."

Injuries are inevitable for professional players, especially for Inter Milan, they have experienced too many such precedents, just when everyone was depressed, Wang Feng stood up and said: "Guys, don't When it's time for despair, if you believe me, please pass me the ball."

Materazzi continued: "Yeah, of course we believe in you, a magical boy. Is your body made of iron? You only rested for two games for such a serious malicious foul last season."

Everyone couldn't help smiling, and the heavy feeling gradually dissipated. Yes, it was different from before. They had the "Iron Man" Wang Feng, and he was an out-and-out scoring machine!

When head coach Cooper returned to the locker room, he found that the morale of the players had returned. This made him a little puzzled, but he also let out a long breath.

He patted the tactical board and said: "With such heavy rain, we have to change our tactics. We should use short passes to penetrate as little as possible. Instead, we should use long passes to tear apart the opponent's defense simply and rudely."

"After the backcourt and midfielders get the ball~lightnovelpub.net~, they can directly look for the forwards, Wang Feng and Batistuta, and you two hang in the frontcourt and wait for the ball."

"Zanetti, you are leading the defense to keep an eye on the opponent. I guess Regina will also use this kind of long pass coordination, so we can't let them take advantage of it."

After intensively arranging the tactics, the second half of the game started again in the torrential rain.

In the 71st minute, Inter Milan Dalma sent a long pass to the front court. At the same time, Wang Feng sprinted quickly to find the ball.

The defending central defender Lamaki chased him closely, but Wang Feng had the advantage in speed and grabbed the landing point first, so he took advantage of the opportunity to push the ball forward and continued to chase the ball.

The rain hindered the progress of dribbling the ball. Ramaki quickly caught up, but Wang Feng still controlled the ball under his feet relying on his feeling. Take a long shot.

The ball was so sudden that Regina's goalkeeper couldn't react in time. He made a save, but he was still powerless.

With this raid, Inter Milan beat their opponents 1-0 and scored a precious three points.
