The King of World Football Chapter 194: Champions League draw and league opening
Wang Feng's declaration has been reported by major media, and has aroused huge repercussions in Italian football and European football. Many people think that this represents Inter Milan's goal for the new season, to defend the title! Defending!
"Inter Milan once again successfully won the Italian Super Cup and the European Super Cup", "Gazzetta dello Sport" said: "Coincidentally, the team that successfully defended the title last time was AC Milan. Italian Super Cup in 1990 and UEFA Super Cup in 1990."
"Does this mean the decline of AC Milan and the rise of Inter Milan, and will Inter Milan become the team that represents the city of Milan?"
The remarks in this report naturally caused dissatisfaction among many Rossoneri fans, but now that Inter Milan has indeed stabilized AC Milan, they can only use adjectives such as "upstart" to describe Inter Milan to comfort themselves.
Spain's "World Sports Daily" said: "The new chairman of Barcelona brought us back a new flagpole, the genius Ronaldinho from Brazil, a player who can compete with Wang Feng."
"But this season's Barcelona can only play in the UEFA Cup. I hope that the rebuilt Barcelona can recover their strength as soon as possible, and Ronaldinho should not be left too far behind by Wang Feng."
In the summer, under the recommendation of Barcelona's godfather Cruyff, new coach Rijkalme took office instead of Antić who was fighting the fire, and Barcelona basically completed the reconstruction. German newspaper Sport Bild posted a photo of Vuong Phong lifting the European Super Cup two years in a row and commented: "European football has opened the era of Vuong Phong!
"This summer, when Real Madrid and Barcelona competed for the throne, Bayern Munich quietly tightened its budget by recruiting Dutch striker Roy Makaay for 18.75 million euros from Deportivo. Please bring him back."
"He is the second highest scorer in Europe after Wang Feng, but his value is less than a quarter of that of Wang Feng. The most important reason is that he cannot play the top role of sea and could not help the team win the championship.
"When Serie A was still strong, La Liga rose strongly, the Premier League had enough capital, Bundesliga clubs still maintained a profit-making attitude and refused to pay superstars. This will further weaken their effectiveness in the fight in European football. "
"The Bundesliga needs superstars like Vuong Phong to create its own era. Bayern may say they miss Vuong Phong forever, but they were extremely close to each other. I hope that when the next Wang Feng appears, they won't miss him anymore.
Britain's Sky Sports reported: "Vuong Phong declares war on European football!" Since the restructuring of the Champions League, no team has been able to defend the Champions League. Now Inter Milan is aggressively aiming for that throne, declaring war on all European clubs.
.....
Vuong Phong did not expect that just expressing joy could influence public opinion like that, but instead of blaming him, his teammates were eager to try.
"Aren't we being treated like bad bosses?" Franck Ribéry enthusiastically declared: "So we will defeat all the opponents before us and step on their bones to take the throne!"
Amidst the hustle and bustle of life, the UEFA Champions League group stage draw and UEFA's annual awards ceremony took place in Monte Carlo, Monaco. Since there were no major events this summer, the UEFA Champions League qualifiers started very early and this was decided before the major tournaments started. Definitive entry.
Vuong Phong was naturally invited to participate in the ceremony, becoming the center of attention. Not only was he selected for the best team, but he also won the best striker award, and he also won the highest honor of the UEFA season: UEFA Club Player of the Year !
5-time champion, European Golden Shoe and Champions League top scorer are too bright. He won almost all the votes and was far ahead of Raul, who came in second. I think this will happen when Mr. Double is elected later in the year.
Inter Milan continues its momentum in the Champions League group stage. They are in the same group as Celta Vigo, Ajax and Club Brugge, and level is not an issue.
AC Milan vs Arsenal, Dynamo kyiv and Lokomotiv Moscow, Juventus vs Galatasaray, Olympiacos vs Real Sociedad, Lazio vs Chelsea, Sparta Praha, Besiktas.
In general, teams in Serie A are still relatively competitive in the group. The Italian media is very optimistic about their qualifying form, even claiming that they will repeat last year's glory and take 3 of the top 4 Champions League seats.
.....
All the dust has settled, on August 31, 2003, the opening match of Serie A officially began, Inter Milan played against Modena at home.
Modena went through an exciting relegation battle last season and they are also unable to invest in the transfer market this summer, so this season they can still only aim for relegation.
Faced with such an opponent, Mancini still did not dare to neglect himself. This was his first match leading Inter Milan, and it was also the opening match at home, so he tried his best to form the strongest team.
After the match started, Inter Milan players became more proactive. They just went through the European Super Cup. Although a bit tired, their playing condition is much better than Modena, who has been resting for more than a month.
When the match only lasted 5 minutes, Vieri's header was delivered, Wang Feng started at the fastest speed, brought himself into the penalty area and caught the ball before everyone volleyed, opening the score for Inter. Milan!
The Nerazzurri, the leading team, continued to attack their opponents. 27th minute, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu. com Inter Milan made a quick counterattack after stealing the ball in the midfield. Vuong Phong appeared on the wing. After receiving Ribéry's pass, he bypassed the defender and rushed into the penalty area with a right-footed volley from the near corner, once again piercing the Modena goal!
"Vuong Phong's form is still very hot, just 27 minutes later, he scored two goals! Judging from his running and shooting positions, he is still as active as ever. I think he's become even scarier! "
"A rising financial giant"
"I think Inter Milan's opponents now need to carefully study how to stop Wang Feng like that."
Entering the break with a 2-goal lead and an absolute advantage, Mancini breathed a sigh of relief. Anyway, the first barrier to the championship has been cleared, then facing Juventus and AC Milan will be a bigger barrier.
Changing sides again, Mancini replaced Wang Feng and Vieri respectively, while Inter Milan slowed down the pace of the match. In the 77th minute, they took a direct free kick in the front half and Zambrotta Plug headed home.
3:00! Inter Milan beat Modena and got off to a good start for the championship. Wang Feng watched the entire match on the bench. What he felt most deeply was that the team's defense was much more stable. Although Modena's attack ability is not strong, if they were in the situation last season, they would have reduced their attack speed. Mistakes can occur, leading to loss of the ball.
But in this match, no matter the time, Inter Milan's defense was very stable, the defenders played very focused and always kept a calm stance under Modena's pressure.
