Chapter 113: Vs AC Milan
The coaching staff of Inter Milan discussed for a long ti and finally decided on a principle, which is to rely on Wang Feng!
Cooper joked, "From the perspective of the first half of the season, Wang Feng has abundant physical fitness and relatively strong injury resistance. Both the league and the Europa League are at critical monts, so we can only let him take on more."
When the coaching staff inford Wang Feng of this news, he patted his chest and assured, "You can rest assured, I will definitely hold on." This intensive series of matches is a test of his physical fitness and skills.
Soon Inter Milan faced their first opponent, AC Milan, in the 25th round of Serie A at the Giuseppe azza Stadium.
For AC Milan coach Terim, this match was the last chance. At this stage of the league, they were 13 points behind the league leaders Juventus, almost impossible to reverse for the championship. Roma, who was third in the standings, also firmly held them down.
After spending over a hundred million euros on transfers last sumr, they only achieved such results. The club's top managent was very dissatisfied, even saying that if they couldn't beat Inter Milan, then Terim would be fired.
The Milan Derby kicked off in such a tense atmosphere.
Terim made adjustnts to the starting lineup, with Helveg and Coco, who perford poorly in the last round, placed on the bench. Kaladze replaced Coco in the starting lineup, partnering with Maldini in double defensive midfield. Shevchenko, Albertini, and Rui Costa remained unchanged in the frontcourt, with Inzaghi still leading the attack.
After the kick-off, AC Milan launched a threatening attack. In the 7th minute, Rui Costa kicked a long pass from the midfield. Shevchenko, known as the "missile", quickly started and successfully dribbled into the penalty area, then bypassed the goalkeeper and calmly shot into the far corner.
Fortunately, Matrazi reacted quickly, not going after the ball but intercepting the approaching Shevchenko, successfully clearing the ball off the goal line.
In the 13th minute, AC Milan ca again. Inzaghi, after receiving the ball in the penalty area, dodged consecutive tackles from Sanehti and Cordoba with small steps, then passed to Shevchenko on the other side.
If Shevchenko had an easy shot, the ball would surely go in. Helplessly, Matrazi had to slide tackle, but failed to touch the ball, instead bringing down Sheva.
Yellow card penalty! Inter Milan got off to a bad start and fell into crisis.
Shevchenko personally took the penalty kick, but unexpectedly, when he ran up, he stumbled a bit, failing to hit the ball properly, directly shooting a high shot.
The AC Milan fans in the stands imdiately booed, while the Inter Milan fans cheered, and even so quarrels broke out in the area between the two sides, requiring additional security to prevent further conflicts between the fans.
With the missed penalty, AC Milan's offensive montum was blocked, and Inter Milan gradually regained so advantage, organizing several successful attacks.
But as the ga went on, neither side managed to break the deadlock, and the tension on and off the field intensified, with defensive actions becoming more aggressive.
Under Terim's special orders, Wang Feng was tightly marked, and he couldn't count how many tis he was brought down. Several tis, it almost led to conflicts, but fortunately, he was rational enough to get up imdiately and stop his impulsive teammates.
"Don't get into conflicts, bro. The best way to deal with fouls is to score goals, to win, not to fight each other," Wang Feng said to Matrazi.
As the ga approached the end, both teams' players were almost exhausted physically and ntally, and Wang Feng had been waiting, just needing one chance!
In the 90th minute, Dibaggio advanced with the ball along the left side, quickly reaching the edge of the penalty area. AC Milan's Kaladze was a bit distracted, standing far from him.
At this mont, Dibaggio suddenly cut inside with the ball, intending to enter the penalty area. Kaladze hurriedly moved forward to block, but his positioning was poor. Dibaggio calmly sent a cross to the middle of the penalty area.
The ball arrived in the center along the penalty area line, and Rekoba quickly darted forward to receive it, then pushed the ball to the right side, where a figure erged from behind the defense line, it was Wang Feng!
AC Milan defender Maldini closely followed Wang Feng. By this ti, they were already in the penalty area. He didn't dare to make big moves and could only use his body to block Wang Feng's shooting angle.
However, Wang Feng suddenly braked, used his right foot to stop the ball, then flicked it to his left foot. Maldini's montum couldn't be stopped, stumbling and falling to the ground, just blocking the goalkeeper's route out.
Seizing this montary loophole, Wang Feng fiercely shot with his left foot, and the ball flew like a cannonball straight into the upper left corner of the goal, hitting the net.
"The ball's in!!! Goooooal! In the 90th minute, Wang Feng scored a crucial goal for Inter Milan!"
"This is a priceless goal. When Inter Milan's offense was in trouble, Wang Feng stood up again and again, proving his value to the fans!"
After scoring, Wang Feng excitedly crossed the advertising boards, ran along the sidelines, followed by other players, caught up with him, and then hugged him tightly. Joy and excitent were evident on everyone's faces.
Terim stood on the sidelines like a statue, his face full of loss and despair because he knew he had completely failed, and he would soon be swept out with nothing. No coach hoped for such a result.
"Wang Feng, Wang Feng," he muttered through gritted teeth, "Why do you always make trouble for ?" Last ti they t, he scored twice, and this ti, he scored the decisive goal. It was just too much!
He deeply regretted it now. If only he had watched Wang Feng's footage in the Belgian League last sumr or had not been so full of words when the club managent suggested bringing Wang Feng in.
Wang Feng naturally didn't know what was on Terim's mind. Even if he did, he would only smile helplessly. He wasn't targeting anyone. In every ga, he would give his all, only for that final championship trophy!
The second half of the match had only 2 minutes of injury ti, and of course, with AC Milan's current depressed montum, even if a few more minutes were added, they wouldn't be able to reverse the situation. Soon, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the ga.
The Inter Milan fans in the stands cheered and danced, waving their team flags and homade banners, singing Inter Milan's anthem. The AC Milan fans left the stadium grumbling, but fortunately, the security forces were sufficient, and there were no further conflicts between the two sides.
Inter Milan won a valuable three points. At the sa ti, in another match, Juventus stumbled again, drawing 1-1 with Bologna, drawing for two consecutive rounds. Inter Milan successfully narrowed the points gap to 3 points.
In other words, the next round directly facing Juventus will once again determine the top spot! Last ti they faced off, Inter Milan topped the table with victory and goal difference advantage. If they win the next round, they will once again take the top spot with goal difference advantage, which is quite dramatic.
Of course, Juventus is also waiting at ho with strict defenses, eager to avenge their previous defeat and secure their position as league champions!
