World Football King Chapter 193: We are still strong

At the end of the China trip, everyone from Inter Milan flocked to New York, USA and they will join AC Milan to compete in the Italian Super Cup at Giant Stadium.

This time, my sister and Lu Yao did not come along but stayed at home with their family. Lu Yao and Wang Feng had just established a relationship, so of course they didn't want to break up, but thinking that after a while they would meet again in Milan, there was nothing sad.

Since Inter Milan won the championship and cup last season, cup runner-up AC Milan participated in the Italian Super Cup as a reserve.

The match date is set for August 3, and there is still a lot of time before the tournament starts so Inter Milan will stay in New York to play warm-up matches against many teams in Major League Soccer. After the friendly match with the Chinese club, coach Mancini gradually established Inter Milan's main squad for the new season. The lineup mainly applies the four-four-two model, and the goalkeeper is always Toldo.

Defenders Chivu, Materazzi, Zambrotta, Cordoba, Materazzi and Koko returned from injury, but Koko clearly did not receive recognition from the new coach and had to sit on the bench.

Midfielders Zanetti, Makelele, Ribéry, Dalma and Recoba are still recovering and are not allowed to play.

The attackers were Vieri and Wang Feng. .....

Under the public spotlight, the Milano Derby took place in New York. In this match, both teams are playing their best. Inter Milan wants to win and get off to a good start, while AC Milan wants revenge on last season's "Kings of Asia".

The condition of the two teams has not yet recovered to its best. If compared, AC Milan will be better because they meet earlier and compete in preparation with many teams. On the other hand, Inter Milan only played during their trip to China. Two easy friendly matches.

However, Inter Milan's defense seems much more solid than last season. The additions of Chivu and Makelele have improved the team's midfield stability. Even though AC Milan had home field advantage, they could not attack Inter Milan. door.

Inter Milan opened the score in the 23rd minute with a counterattack. Ribery sent a great pass to help Wang Feng score.

At minute 52 of the second half, Vuong Phong dribbled the ball and passed straight into the goal. Vieri easily pushed the ball and scored.

Although AC Milan coach Ancelotti successively adjusted the lineup to strengthen the team's attack, he still scored in the end.

2:0! Relying on Vuong Phong's passes and shots, Inter Milan won the city derby again and successfully defended the Italian Super Cup! They are the first defending champions after AC Milan's three consecutive championships in 1994.

.....

After winning the cup, Inter Milan began the warm-up program. The opponent in the first match is New York Red Bulls. In this match, Ribéry's performance was very impressive. He played three great passes one after another and scored a hat-trick of assists.

In the end the team won 4-0. Wang Feng alone scored two goals, Vieri and Materazzi each contributed one goal. Under Mancini's coaching, Ribéry's ability to influence and pass the ball became even better. At the same time, it also required Vuong Phong to take at least five shots per match, so Vuong Phong's number of goals also skyrocketed.

The opponents for the second pre-season match were the San Jose Earthquakes. In this match, Mancini rotated 9 key players in one move, Wang Feng was also among them. level. Emre, Caron and others used their actions to impress upon this group of American boys the magnitude of the gap between European soccer and American soccer. In the end, Inter Milan defeated their opponent 3-0.

In the following preparation matches, Mancini continued to adjust the players on the field. Almost all players have the opportunity to compete. He analyzes everyone's characteristics and skills so he can replace them when key players have problems in the future.

Mancini didn't want to take over the coach of Inter Milan, because the former coach won a five-time crown and left, which has pushed Inter Milan to the top. If he can't maintain such a result, he will be blamed by everyone.

But he was still moved by Moratti's sincerity and rhetoric: "Don't you want to coach such a miracle player as Wang Feng?" Yes, all Serie A coaches hope that Wang Feng will be under their command. Treasures, waiting for the coach to dig.

... After a series of warm-up matches ended, the Inter Milan team did not return to Milan but flew straight to Monaco. Before the tournament begins, they will face UEFA Cup champions Porto at Louis II Stadium for possession of the UEFA Super Cup.

This Portuguese Super League team has made great strides under the leadership of Mourinho. Last season, he won the Portuguese Super League championship, the Portuguese Cup championship and the UEFA Cup championship.

The epic confrontation between 5-time champions Inter Milan and 3-time champions Porto is the hottest confrontation in the UEFA Super Cup in recent years, attracting the attention of all European media. "Crazy man" Mourinho said in the pre-match interview: "Inter Milan is very strong, but Porto's goal is the Champions League this year so we will not be afraid of any opponent."

After the match started, Inter Milan really felt the difficulty of the rising star. They applied a unique 4, 3, 1, 2 formation, actively giving up the ball and deploying counter-attack defense to the maximum.

In defense, Ferreira, Costa, Carvalho and Valente completely compressed the space and did not give Inter Milan too much attacking depth up front. The temporary cooperation between Ribéry and Wang Feng did not develop.

On the offensive side, Porto passed the ball to Deco, Alberto, Dellei and others who quickly counterattacked~www.mtlnovel.com~ Without Makelele's excellent performance, Inter Milan would have lost the ball. Porto also has a free kick that is considered a killer! In the 27th minute, they received a direct free kick in the front yard. Deco let the ball fall in the penalty area. Macheni suddenly stepped forward and scored from a small angle.

Inter Milan is behind!

Mancini looked from afar at the "crazy man" in his pocket on the opposing coach's bench, secretly admiring in his heart, he really had two brushes, and could train Porto youth to look like this.

However, the results are still unknown. After many matches, his offensive training with Wang Feng yielded some results.

During an attack by Inter Milan, Franck Ribéry pushed aside but to no avail, then passed to Wang Feng who was next to him to respond. Vuong Phong suddenly fired a long shot from the right corner of the penalty area.

The ball went through the penalty area and hit the top left corner of the goal. Porto's defense remained attentive to Vuong Phong's passes and breakthroughs. No one expected him to suddenly kick. The ball caught them off guard and sealed the score.

Vuong Phong excitedly ran around the yard. He seems to have felt the feeling that Mancini talked about, which is to do whatever he wants on the field and become omnipotent!

In the next game, Wang Feng kept experimenting with new attack ideas, like trying out a new toy. When the defenders thought he was going to shoot, he passed the ball. Just when they thought they couldn't shoot, Vuong Phong's wind suddenly rose, causing his opponent to turn around.

In the end, he contributed another pass and shot, helping the team defeat Porto 3:1 and successfully defend the UEFA Super Cup!

During the interview, Wang Feng excitedly told the reporter: "Inter Milan is still very strong!
