Chapter 109

During the following training camp, the atmosphere within the Inter Milan team became a bit strange. Coach Cooper deliberately ignored Ronaldo in arranging tactics, even eliminating him from group stage matches.

Ronaldo also conducted individual training under the guidance of a personal trainer and had no intention of participating in joint training, which made other players a bit disappointed.

While practicing soccer, Materazzi approached Vuong Phong and asked in a low voice: "What's going on with this strange atmosphere?" Do you know what's going on?

Vuong Phong did not dare to speak casually, he could only shake his head to show that he did not know, then continued to train himself. Until the Europa League knockout match with Paris, there was still no sign of reconciliation between the two teams.

On the day of the match, the Giuseppe Meazza stadium was almost full of people. In the players' tunnel, the starting players of Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan were lined up and ready to enter the field. It is worth mentioning that Conceicao, who previously suffered a muscle strain, has recovered and will return in this match.

Next to Vuong Phong is a young man with dark skin and long loose hair. He looked up and down at Vuong Phong's Asian face. Vuong Phong moved his arms and legs, but felt eyes staring at him, so he turned his head to look at him.

The boy smiled brightly: "Hey Vuong Phong, you have finally come to me.

Vuong Phong realized he was Ronaldinho, the 22-year-old Brazilian genius hailed as Ronaldo's successor.

Because Wang Feng did not go to Paris, he also heard that the Paris media often compared Ronaldinho to him.

So he smiled back: "Hello, I heard Ronnie mention your countryman and he is always full of praise."

Ronaldinho said: "Compared to you, I'm still far behind but I will try my best in this match."

Vuong Phong smiled and nodded. After a simple greeting, the players from both sides officially entered the field. "Dear viewers, good evening everyone, this is the Italian sports TV and radio channel, I am my old friend Damian Grant, today I introduce to you the top match of the Europa League, Inter Milan meets Paris Saint Germain."

"This match, whether it is the rookie match between Wang Feng and Ronaldinho in the top five leagues, or the Brazilian derby between Ronaldinho and Ronaldinho, is very exciting."

"Both teams have determined their positions on the field. Let's look at their starting lineups. Inter Milan still applies the three-year starting lineup. Ronaldo is placed on the bench. It seemed like the coach wanted to treat him as an unexpected soldier.

"Paris Saint-Germain has applied a four-four-two formation. Ronaldinho in attack is still the starter. This is the seventh consecutive match he has started. It seems he has convinced the coach with his performance. Approved by the group."

"Czech referee Hoyt Harris blew the whistle to start the match, Inter Milan took the lead, Di Biagio kicked Recoba, Recoba kicked back to Cordoba."

"Inter controlled the ball from behind, while PSG players maintained their form."

"Materazzi passed long, looking for Vuong Phong in the front line, Vuong Phong did not take the first position, the Paris defender pushed the ball out, the ball reached the middle of the field and he was still at the feet of Inter Milan."

"Consicao received the ball, reorganized the attack and made the pass. It's beautiful! Vuong Phong's timing of the attack was indeed very skillful. His pace was very fast and he recovered the ball. »

"Vuong Phong held the ball and broke through the penalty area. There was only one defender left in the penalty area! The pendulum went through the defense! Hit the goal, the ball went in! goooooooooooooal!"

"The match only started two minutes ago, Vuong Phong entered the gates of Paris. His performance is truly outstanding."

"Inter Milan continues to attack. From the beginning until now, Inter Milan is almost playing against Paris Saint-Germain. It is clear that they have the absolute advantage in midfield."

"Look at that moment, Di Biagio holds the ball in the front half and passes it to Recoba. Recoba made many passes to Wang Feng's right foot.

"How will Vuong Phong handle this? A good feint, past left-back Simon Boyer and run towards the front of the penalty area."

"Vieri hit the goal! Unfortunately his shot hit the crossbar. The ball went a bit strong. Vieri can be seen giving Wang Feng a thumbs up, indicating the ball was passed very well. Well done."

Because Paris often lost the ball in midfield, Ronaldinho was constantly running on both the offensive and defensive sides, and he was out of breath ten minutes after the opening goal. This team will definitely lose! Ronaldinho thought to himself, although he was a bit giddy and refused to practice hard, the blood of the country's football champion still flowed in his bones. He didn't want to lose to Vuong Phong, and he didn't want the team to be eliminated so early!

Paris goalkeeper Emery Jacobs made all kinds of great saves, and they kept it a one-goal situation for forty minutes.

During this period, he saved at least 3 necessary goals for Inter Milan, including Wang Feng's long-range shot from in front of the penalty area. Can push the ball over the touchline with your fingers.

Late in the first half, Paris Saint-Germain finally got their chance. Ronaldinho received the ball and launched a quick counterattack. He first used the change of direction to influence Zanetti, then used the change of speed to avoid Sau Cordoba, who came to press.

At a distance of 35 meters from the goal, he suddenly volleyed. Everyone was stunned by this shot, even the remaining striker of Paris Saint-Germain who was still advancing did not expect it.

Inter Milan goalkeeper Toldo stood a little forward, so he made a mistake with his hand and accidentally fell to the ground while hastily backing away. He could only stand and watch the ball fall into the net.

1:1, Paris equalized before the end of the first half!

It was their third shot in the match and also Ronaldinho's first shot that successfully penetrated Inter Milan's goal.

After scoring, Ronaldinho enthusiastically galloped to the Giuseppe Meazza field to celebrate, raised his hands to make a bullhorn gesture and continued to shake.

During the break, everyone at Inter Milan was very depressed. They had an absolute advantage but let the away team equalize, even allowing them to score an away goal. This is completely unacceptable.

Captain Javier Zanetti consoled Toldo, who made a mistake. This loss is directly related to him. Because of his own carelessness, the whole team fell into a disadvantageous position. He felt extremely guilty. Ronaldo called head coach Cooper outside the locker room. He was trying to contact the head coach to play, and at the same time he was anxious to watch the game from the sidelines.

But Cooper is a very strong head coach. He firmly rejected Ronaldo's proposal and bluntly stated that if his request was not met, Ronaldo would never even think about returning to play!

Ronaldo was angry, angrily returned to the dressing room, then put on his usual uniform without saying a word, and left the field directly.

Other Inter Milan players were stunned, even Vuong Phong was no exception. He didn't expect the two of them to be so tough in public. Seeing Ronnie leave, Cooper said nothing but continued to arrange tactics for the second half.
