Chapter 87

In round 4 of Serie A, Inter Milan was a guest of Turin. Coach Cooper rotated the lineup. Many big players like Zanetti, Cordoba and Vieri are not in the squad.

The strength and tacit understanding of the alternate lineup is much worse than the main lineup. The team played a bit chaotic in the beginning and had some problems organizing the attack and defense. Striker Maximilian O'Connell opened the scoring for the home team in the 17th minute as Torino took advantage of an Inter defender's mistake.

In the 34th minute, Di Biagio passed the ball into the penalty area. Turin's defender headed it close to the goal, but the ball did not go out of the penalty area and was stopped by Vuong Phong at the edge of the penalty area. forbidden circle. surface for repair.

After Vuong Phong cleared the ball, he took two horizontal steps along the penalty line, then kicked with his foot. The ball circled in the air and went into the dead corner of the goal.

1:1, Inter Milan equalized the score!

Easily fighting, in the 75th minute, Torino once again took advantage of Inter Milan's defensive errors to take the lead. Seeing that the team was about to receive the first defeat of the season, the one who stood up was Vuong Phong. During extra time, he received a cross from Di Biagio in the penalty area. Although the defensive players tried their best to intervene, they still could not stop Wang Feng from pushing the ball and scoring.

Thanks to Wang Feng's double, Inter Milan finally escaped with a 2-2 away draw against Turin.

In the post-match press conference, coach Cooper harshly criticized Inter Milan's defense: "Even though we rotated, that was not the reason for low-level mistakes. Our two losses were purely due to an attitude problem. "

"Through these sloppy performances, I understand why the club lost last season, it was certainly painful and unfortunate."

For Wang Feng, Cooper expressed his appreciation without hesitation: "Wang's effort to turn the situation around brought us a valuable point. I bet without Wang, we would never have can score points in Turin".

.....

In round 5 of Serie A, Inter Milan hosted Bologna at home. In this match, Cooper tried his best to win but the performance of the players on the field was still slow. Wang Feng was heavily defended throughout the match. He was fouled a lot and fell to the ground. Although Serie A referees were more lenient in the scale of penalties, they still punished the Bologna defense with 4 yellow cards, which showed the extent of the opponent's actions.

Despite this, Wang Feng still penetrated the net many times to create opportunities, but unfortunately every high quality cross was wasted in the non-threatening final kicks.

At minute 77 of the second half, Wang Feng received the ball near the right field. He got past the defense with a beautiful move from Marseille. When he was about to break through with the ball, he was tackled from behind by the opposing defender.

Italian referee Brando Ebert finally couldn't take it anymore and showed the defender a second yellow card and was sent off.

Wang Feng stood up with Zanetti's help. His whole body ached as if he had just fought with someone. Bologna's playing style made him very depressed and constantly injured.

So this time he personally took the free kick. This was the first time he took a direct free kick on a Serie A stage. Remembering the feeling from before, I started running and hit the door!

The ball followed a strange arc in the air, then hit the crossbar and hit the away team's goal!

After scoring, Vuong Phong ran and roared in celebration, deliberately passing by the Bologna coach's chair to express his dissatisfaction.

However, Inter Milan's advantage was not maintained until the end of the match. In the 85th minute, Inter Milan's defense made a mistake. Plug in flights.

After taking the only shot against goalkeeper Toldo, Conroy calmly pushed the ball and shot into the far corner to help his teammates equalize the score.

1:1, Inter Milan bitterly swallowed the draw at Giuseppe Meazza Stadium.

After this round, Inter Milan, the team with 2 consecutive draws, fell to 4th place on the rankings. Juventus tops the table with a winning record, followed by Roma and Lazio. AC Milan also returned to 8th place with 2 recent victories.

After the match, Vuong Phong received a detailed examination of the club. He had multiple skin wounds all over his body, but none of them were serious. This made the club's senior management breathe a sigh of relief. Club president Moratti angrily said: "We must protest against the Football Association. This is not at all a reasonable confrontation but violence and malicious misconduct!"

Technical director Horacio Boehm said: "Yes, sir, we have organized personnel to edit the malicious video of Wang Feng in this match, send it to the Football Association and Gazzetta dello Sport, and at the same time officially reported that the Football Association opposes this and believes that the Referee Scale will be changed in the future."

Moratti nodded, then said: "How is the team's recent situation?" Haven't they made great progress at the start of the tournament? Why is it so difficult now?

Bohm said: "I discussed with head coach Cooper, the problem mainly focuses on two aspects, first is that playing the national team makes the players very tired, and second is A smooth start to the season has made some players relax."

"Whatever the reason is, let Cooper resolve it as soon as possible. Last season's tragedy cannot be repeated at Inter Milan."

..... The day after the draw with Bologna, Cooper canceled the team's vacation and gathered all the players to study the last two matches. He said: "Guys, we made a lot of mistakes in these two matches. A mistake to make."

"The competition in Serie A is fierce, any match could decide the ultimate league title, so we cannot repeat the same mistakes."

He analyzes head-to-head matches, including tactical execution and the actual performance of players on the field. When it was Vuong Phong's turn, Cooper only praised: "Vuong fully implemented the strategy I prescribed on the field, even better, these two draws are also something he tried very hard to overcome." feedback."

"Not only that~www.mtlnovel.com~, he is also the hardest working person in the whole team, I hope everyone can admire him." Vuong Phong showed an embarrassed expression. He really wanted to be praised by a regular teacher. Then everyone started practicing. Next to the treadmill, Recoba played with the machine with an unlovely expression and complained to Vuong Phong who was exercising next to him: "My vacation, my lovely Italian girl, everything turned into a bubble. ."

"Wang, how can you do something so boring like practicing all day?"

Vuong Phong said while running: "Because I'm not bored. After each workout, I feel my body is strengthening and improving, like fighting monsters and progressing in the game. Its very beautiful.

Recoba rolled his eyes and said: "Can you become a superhero by enhancing your body?" I really don't understand the idea of ​​a genius.

Seeing that Materazzi was also training seriously, Recoba asked: "And you, why are you training so vigorously?" Do you also feel your body's progress?

Materazzi said seriously: "I don't feel a clear improvement, but only by following the coach's orders and practicing continuously can I have stable performance and not be eliminated."

"A player with a smooth debut like you might not understand a player from below like us."

Hearing Materazzi say that, Recoba sighed and said: "I feel this world is filled with malice towards players like me. Why is it so difficult to be independent and make money?

Hearing that, everyone couldn't help but smile. Captain Javier Zanetti said with a serious face: "Don't complain and be lazy. Be careful if the head coach finds out, I will personally let you practice more." ."

Recoba's neck tightened in fear, so he had no choice but to get on the treadmill and begin his bloody workout.
