Chapter 215: hot pursuit

After the team regrouped, the atmosphere in the team seemed to be a bit strange. Adriano, who returned to Inter Milan, was in an awkward position in the locker room. Although Wang Feng came forward to express his welcome, everyone maintained a superficial harmony. But everyone knows that the competition between him and Vieri has just begun.

How can the 30-year-old Vieri be willing to compete with the 21-year-old Adriano, he has asked his agent to contact him, hoping to leave Inter Milan this summer.

It is rumored that the Italian has become the target of many teams, Juventus and AC Milan in Serie A, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, Valencia in La Liga and his old club Atletico Madrid, as well as CSKA Moscow etc. have expressed strong interest.

He signed a contract with Inter Milan until 2006, so there is still a two-year period, and now it depends on the Nerazzurri's expected offer for him and the salary of the new club.

.........

In the turbulent situation, Inter Milan ushered in their first opponent after the winter break, the 15th round of Serie A against Lecce at home. In this game, Mancini really put Vieri on the bench and let Adriano start.

Whether it is physical or mentality, the Inter Milan players have not adjusted, so they played very badly at the beginning, with many problems and mistakes on both offensive and defensive ends.

Wang Feng's condition was not very good either, he missed two very threatening opportunities one after another, and he was no longer as stable and efficient as before.

Lecce seized the opportunity. In the 27th minute, striker Chivanton broke into the penalty area and volleyed to break through Toldo's ten fingers.

At the end of halftime, Inter Milan was still one goal behind. In the locker room, Mancini became extremely angry. He scolded all the starters, including Wang Feng this time.

"Although we are still ahead of the standings, everyone knows how fierce the final championship competition will be. If we can't even win the newly promoted horse, we will die early to defend the title!"

Changing sides to fight again, the home team gradually regained their form, and Wang Feng tried his best to score a goal. In the 55th minute, he and the newly joined Adriano staged a small-scale second pass in the penalty area As soon as they cooperated, Wang Feng scored a goal and equalized the score for Inter Milan.

In the 79th minute, Franck Ribery sent a through kick. After Wang Feng got the ball, he formed a one-shot.

Relying on Wang Feng's brace, Inter Milan reversed and won 2:1.

.........

In the 16th round of Serie A, Inter Milan challenged Parma away. The Nerazzurri and the Crusaders were fully fired and contributed a wonderful offensive battle to the fans.

Only 7 minutes into the game, Wang Feng took the corner kick from Inter Milan. He lobbed the ball to the back point, and Adriano shook his head and hit the goal to open the scoring for the team.

But just two minutes later, Marchionne sent a through pass in the frontcourt, and Gilardino in the penalty area fired angrily at the ball to equalize the score for Parma.

Afterwards, the two sides had their own offense and defense. Before halftime, Wang Feng suddenly kicked a long shot in the frontcourt. Parma goalkeeper Frey was very focused and miraculously saved the ball.

At this moment, Adriano, who was ambushing in the penalty area, followed up with a supplementary shot and Inter Milan overtook the score!

The Brazilian, who just played two games on behalf of Inter Milan, scored twice. He ran around the stadium excitedly, and the Inter Milan fans who came from afar gave him applause and cheers without hesitation.

Inter Milan's lead did not last long. At the beginning of the second half, Parma launched a rush attack. Gilardino made another contribution and also scored twice to make the score 2:2.

In the past Parma "Trident", Mutu left Chelsea, Adriano returned to Inter Milan, and only Gilardino remained in the Crusaders. The two of them now belong to different camps, but they scored twice at the same time. It's a weird coincidence.

If the first half of the game was a showdown between Adriano and Gilardino, then the second half was Wang Feng's stage. In the 74th minute, Wang Feng played two Parma defenders, Ferrari and Juan, in a row. Niort took advantage of the situation and volleyed into the penalty area to make a contribution.

Only four minutes later, Franck Ribery made a pass from the wing to the forward point. Wang Feng vacated with his back to the goal and kicked the ball with a standard upside-down golden hook. Into the net.

"goooooooooooooooooal! Goal scored! 4:2! Wang Feng sealed the victory for Inter Milan!"

"A wonderful upside-down golden hook. We can see that Wang Feng's time in the air is very long, which shows that his jumping and waist strength are very strong, so that he can contribute such a wonderful goal for us."

"So far, Wang Feng has contributed 26 league goals. I originally thought that his 40 goals last season were already at the peak level. I didn't expect that this season is still heading towards breaking the historical record!"

After this round, Inter Milan's record has reached 13 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, with 41 points, creating a record high in 16 league rounds~lightnovelpub.net~ But behind him, Roma has 12 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, with 41 points. With 39 points, AC Milan has 11 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss. The points are 37 points. The gap between the three is very small, showing a situation of hot pursuit.

.........

"Facts have proved that for Inter Milan, the current Adriano is indeed much easier to use than Vieri." After the game, Vito Hodson, the commentator of the Italian radio and television channel, commented.

"In the two games that have ended, his role on the front line is much greater than that of Vieri before. His superb shooting skills and strong confrontation ability have allowed him to stabilize his main position."

"I can even assert that he will become the second leading scorer in the team after Wang Feng. The experience of playing in Fiorentina and Parma has cultivated his intuition and self-confidence as a shooter. I believe that if he had stayed at Inter Milan before, he would be Can't grow fast."

Another commentator, Donovan Mayeske, talked about Vieri's transfer turmoil, "Many teams have offered an olive branch to Vieri. Is he still competitive?"

Hodson said: "I think he is in line with Inter Milan's striker position as a substitute. Why? Twenty-year-old Wang Feng, 21-year-old Adriano, and 20-year-old Ribery are all Inter Milan strikers. A young player who can play a big role."

"They are young and talented. It is time for them to play more. From the perspective of the club, there is no problem in arranging Vieri as a substitute."

"But the former Italian Tomahawk is obviously not satisfied with this position, so his departure will be inevitable."

Hodson also believes that when Vieri transferred from Lazio to Inter Milan at a price of 50 million euros, his value should have fallen to around 20 million euros, which must be lower than Adriano's 27 million euros.
