Chapter 157: The Battle of the Halfway Finale

On December 22, three days before Christmas, most businesses in Italy have already closed early, and people took to the streets to enjoy the joy of the holiday.

Watching a passionate game at this time has become the best choice for Italian fans, and at the Meazza Stadium, there just happens to be a key game that will determine the Serie A half-time championship, which is about to kick off.

Earlier, AC Milan beat Brescia 1:0, so this round of Inter Milan can only win the first half of the honor.

The entire Inter Milan team is united. At this time, personal conflicts are temporarily put aside. Everyone has only one idea, and that is to win Parma!

Inter Milan's lineup is still very incomplete. Vieri's physical condition has not been able to meet the competitive standards set by the team doctor. He was expected to return in about 10 rounds, but he was not allowed to play until halfway through.

Recoba has just been injured and has not even started recovery training. It is estimated that he will miss a large part of the second half of the game.

Parma's lineup is very complete, no different from the Italian Super Cup, when the striker composed of Adriano, Mutu and Gilardino brought great trouble to Inter Milan.

Their performance in the league is also very impressive. At present, all three of them appear in the top ten of the scorer list, and the striker combination composed of them is the most scored in Serie A.

.........

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.

In order to contain Parma's offensive firepower, Inter Milan adopted defensive counterattack tactics, hoarding heavy troops on the back line to block Parma's offensive pace, while the counterattack relied on speed to tear apart their fragile back line.

Therefore, the two sides appear to be evenly matched in terms of situation. Parma can play some wonderful offenses, and Inter Milan can also reciprocate and threaten the opponent with sharp counterattacks.

Cannavaro and Cordoba on the defensive line assisted closely. Although the two did not reconcile, they would never make any move to slow down the game.

The first threatening attack came from Inter Milan in 15 minutes. After stealing the ball from the backcourt, Koko directly kicked Wang Feng, who was anti-offside. Tuta's header in the penalty area went slightly wide.

This attack ignited the San Siro stadium, and the fans of Inter Milan stood up excitedly, cheering for the home team, and many people began to shout Wang Feng's name again.

Two minutes later, Wang Feng responded to the expectations of the fans! It was Zanetti's pass in the midfield. Wang Feng leaned on Ferrari and desperately suppressed the Italian with his body. He took the lead and sent the ball to Batistuta on the left.

After Batty received the ball, he waded the ball to the edge of the penalty area, and then went up and shot it. The Parma goalkeeper struggled to save it. The ball did not fly far, but fell in front of the small penalty area.

At this time, Wang Feng quickly got rid of Ferrari's entanglement, and wanted to go up and make a follow-up shot, but the goalkeeper was standing closer, and the short circuit of consciousness caused by the save just now quickly recovered, and Frey quickly wanted to hug the ball.

"Gene Age"

At the critical moment, Wang Feng leaned his body back to the extreme, pushed his legs forward, and finally poked with his toe before the goalkeeper touched the ball. Into Parma's net.

"goooooooooooooooooooal! The goal is scored! In the 17th minute, Inter Milan broke the balance on the field and scored the first goal!"

"The follow-up shot from Wang Feng, who touched the ball before the goalkeeper and swept it into Parma's goal, before it was Batistuta's long-range shot that caused Frey to let go."

"Barty still looks old and strong. This long-range shot is fast and urgent. Frey can only choose to save the ball. I didn't expect Wang Feng's follow-up shot to be so fast, and of course his legs are so long!"

"With the goal so early, it looks like we're going to have a good fight between the two teams before Christmas."

.........

Adriano was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In the same year, he, like many Brazilian children, loved football, and at that time he especially admired "White Pele" Zico.

In order to follow in the footsteps of his idol, he came to the Flamengo football school to study, and was successfully favored by the club chairman Junior. At the age of 18, he became the main force of the team.

It can be said that he, like Ronaldinho and Kaka, was once a high-spirited young genius, but after coming to Inter Milan, Wang Feng, Vieri, Ronaldo, and Recoba are the absolute main players , there is no room for him to play.

Without wearing a blue and black shirt once, he was loaned to "Vola" Fiorentina, where Adriano felt happy for the first time after he came to Italy, because he could play unscrupulously.

But happiness is short-lived. Even if he tries hard to help the team stay in Serie A, the building will be unable to support itself, and the club's bankruptcy and relegation are inevitable.

Moreover, Fiorentina's relegation has affected the selection of the Brazilian national team~lightnovelpub.net~At least he thinks so, because he did not receive the call-up of the national team, and thus missed the highest honor trophy in a football player's career.

"Why is Ronaldinho, who can't play in the Champions League in Ligue 1, able to be reused, and even Kaka, who is still in Sao Paulo, is included in the squad, but he doesn't have himself?" Adriano sometimes asks himself angrily.

The regret of missing the World Cup has not dissipated, and he was hit again when he returned to Inter Milan, that is, Inter Milan wanted to sell him to Parma. Moratti explained that the team could not guarantee his playing time, and there was no way to let him quickly. Exercise to grow.

But he knew in his heart that the chairman still didn't recognize his own strength, so he would rather choose to rent the veteran Batistuta than give himself more opportunities.

Parma is slightly better than Fiorentina, but the financial situation is still very bad, but they are lucky, 13 million euros brought back Adriano from Inter Milan, 15.8 million euros and 12 million euros brought back Mutu and Girardi from Verona promise.

The combined value of the three of them is almost the price of a top scorer in Serie A, but the strength shown is far more than that. For the first time, Adriano really entered the field of vision of the Italian mainstream media.

In contrast to Inter Milan, no one thought that after the start of the season, Vieri and Recoba were injured one after another, and even the little-known Martins would get a chance to play. Many media believed that selling Adriano was a wrong decision.

What he has to do now is to prove this to Moratti, just like just now, his strong shot in front of the goal in the penalty area helped Parma equalize the score!

After scoring the goal, the Brazilian knelt all the way to the corner flag and shouted to the sky. He didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the Italian Super Cup. He must win this time!
