Chapter 137

On the evening of September 18, the first match of the UEFA Champions League group stage took place at Lekendal Stadium in Trondheim, Norway. Rosenborg vs Inter Milan.

Inter Milan completely controlled the situation right from the beginning of the match. From the 3rd minute, Dalma organized an attack in midfield and then passed to Recoba, who played on the wing. The Uruguayan player sent a cross into the penalty area. The ball passed smoothly past the two defenders, finding Vuong Phong right behind. He unleashed an unblocked volley, opening the score for Inter Milan.

Five minutes later, Wang Feng received a long pass from Zanetti in front of the penalty area. He used his back to block the ball and then turned around to break through. The possibility of confrontation is not at the same level at all. After entering the penalty area, Vuong Phong of course did not miss the opportunity, passing the last defender to score, extending the gap for Inter Milan.

At minute 21, Inter Milan launched a new attack. Di Biagio passes to Recoba in the penalty area from the left wing. Recoba rubbed the instep of his foot and then threw the ball towards Vieri.

Under the intervention of the defense, Vieri headed towards the penalty spot, and Vuong Phong performed an upside-down golden hook to clear the ball. In just 21 minutes, Vuong Phong scored a hat-trick!

After that, Inter Milan slowed down their attack and started to lose time, but the gap in Rosenborg's defense was indeed too big. In the 34th minute, after Vuong Phong received the ball from the right wing, he casually crossed into the penalty area.

Vieri slotted in, shot straight at the ball, once again penetrating the home team's defense.

4:0! Now Rosenborg is a little worried. If this continues, they will create a history of conceding high scores so their defense will gradually become stronger. In order not to cause conflict, Inter Milan completely abandoned attack and relaxed a bit on defense. Unfortunately, Rosenborg still could not score a goal.

Changing sides to fight again, Inter Milan replaced Wang Feng, Vieri and other key players, and also replaced Batistuta who had just joined. The 33-year-old veteran still possesses strong attacking ability. A powerful long-range shot helped Inter Milan extend the score. At the end of the match, Inter Milan received a direct free kick on the field. Zanetti directly hit the goal, puncturing Rosenberg's net again.

The final score was 6:0, Inter Milan defeated Rosenborg

As soon as Inter Milan won against Rosenborg, Juventus drew with Feyenoord 1:1, AC Milan won against Crones 2:1, and Roma lost to Real Madrid 0:3. .

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

"Now that he has arrived at the Champions League stadium, can he still top the scoring list? Let's wait and see."

On the evening of September 22, Reggio Calabria, a city in southern Italy, suffered heavy rain. At Gran Lino Stadium, white-shirted Inter Milan competed in round 2 of Serie A against red-shirted Reggina. competition.

Rainwater flowed down his hair and eyes, blurring Vuong Phong's vision. He used both hands to wipe away the drops of water, helplessly running to find an opportunity.

It wasn't that he had never experienced a battle in the rain, but this was the first time he played in such heavy rain, where it was almost impossible to see the opponent's goal. If it rains harder, it is estimated that the match will be postponed.

The heavy rain seriously hindered the performance of both teams, especially Inter Milan. Compared to newly promoted Reggina, their level of ball control is higher and they will certainly be able to overwhelm their opponents in normal conditions. However, passing and controlling the ball normally on a wet field is inherently difficult. Both sides continuously made mistakes. In the first 30 minutes, they still couldn't create a shot.

In the 35th minute, after Vieri received the ball in the middle, he intended to break through with the ball but suddenly slipped and fell to the ground without having time to protest.

Seeing Vieri lying on the field in pain, Reggina defender Morabito threw the ball out on the touchline very friendly, after which the Inter Milan team doctor entered the field for simple treatment. "Muscle fatigue!" The Hurt team doctor commented with an ugly expression. He shook his head and signaled Cooper on the sideline to make a substitution. Cooper thought it was just a minor injury after slipping and falling in the rain. Batistuta could be replaced in his place.

In the first half, the two teams were tied. After the Inter Milan players entered the dressing room, they asked the staff about Vieri's situation but were informed that he would be absent for at least the next two months of competition.

The atmosphere in the dressing room was very dull. "Vieri told me he was very lucky last season and didn't get injured," said a dejected Materazzi. 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 gone through so many precedents, just when everyone was depressed, Vuong Phong stood up and said: " Please don't do that. , if you believe me, pass the ball to me.

Materazzi continued, "Yeah, sure, we believe in you, magical boy. Your body is made of iron, right?" You only had to miss two games for such a serious foul last season."

Everyone couldn't help but smile, the heavy feeling gradually dissipated. Yes, it is different from before. They have "Iron Man" Vuong Phong, and he is a real scoring machine!

When head coach Cooper returned to the locker room, he noticed the players' spirit had returned. This made him a little confused, but he also let out a sigh.

He tapped the strategy board and said: "When it rains like this, you have to change tactics. You must use short passes to penetrate as little as possible. Instead, we should use long passes to simply and brutally destroy the opposing defense. »

"After the backfield and midfielders receive the ball~www.mtlnovel.com~ they can directly look for the attackers, Wang Feng and Batistuta, and you two stay in the frontcourt and wait for the ball."

"Zanetti, you lead the defense and keep an eye on your opponent. I guess Regina will also use this type of long passing combination. We can't let them take advantage."

After a tight tactical arrangement, the second half of the match continued in torrential rain.

In the 71st minute, Inter Milan Dalma sent a long pass to take the lead. At the same time, Vuong Phong ran quickly to find the ball. Defensive midfielder Lamaki chased very closely, but Vuong Phong had the advantage of speed and was able to touch the ball first, so he took the opportunity to push the ball forward and continue to chase the ball.

The rain hindered the dribbling process. Ramaki quickly caught up, but Wang Feng still controlled the ball at his feet by feel. Take a long photo.

The ball went so suddenly that the Regina goalkeeper had no time to react. He was saved but still helpless.

With this raid, Inter Milan defeated their opponent 1-0 and scored 3 valuable points.
