Chapter 216

In early February, Vuong Phong looked at the entire schedule in his hand, a bitter smile forming on the corner of his lips. It is certainly not an exaggeration to call this arrangement "crazy."

The tournament not only has 5 rounds with the participation of strong teams like AC Milan and Udinese, but also has 2 Coppa Italia semi-finals against Lazio Blue Eagles and 1 UEFA Champions League round. sixteen matches against Prague bada.

As for Wang Feng, he will return to China to participate in the qualifying round of the world's top 32 national football teams against Kuwait.

Due to the top 32 system of the World Preliminaries, only the top group can advance to the quarterfinals. Hong Kong and Malaysia in the same group are not scary and only Kuwait is a major threat.

To ensure safety, new coach Alihan invited Vuong Phong, hoping he could return to China to play two group matches with Kuwait, without having to rush to participate in other matches.

This will be Wang Feng's first time playing for the national team. National media provided extensive coverage from the start. Many fans wondered if he was suspected of using world players in the match against Kuwait. Only Alihan knows in his heart that although China reached the World Cup finals two years ago, the team's current performance is very unstable. He had to invite Vuong Phong to sit on the bench to turn the situation around at important moments.

On February 2, in round 19 of Serie A, Inter Milan hosted Siena at home. To prepare for Coppa Italia in midweek, Mancini benched all key players and let newly promoted players rotate. This group of players with little playing time played very hard, playing back and forth with Siena playing a key role, and Martins and Cruz each contributing a goal in the second half.

2:0, Inter Milan defeated their opponent without any risk.

.....

On February 5, the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-finals, Inter Milan hosted Lazio at home.

To gain an advantage on the field as quickly as possible, Inter Milan played at a fast pace from the beginning, Lazio had no choice but to passively accelerate. In this way, the situation fell under Inter Milan's control and they regularly posed threats in the first area.

After stealing the ball in the middle of the field, Ribéry went to the side to receive Zanetti's long pass, then passed straight to the Lazio defense. Wang Feng escaped Negro's entanglement, grabbed the ball first and took advantage of the situation. in the box.

Faced with Favalli's shovel slip, Wang Feng dodged with an emergency breakthrough, then successfully pushed from the nearest corner. 1:0! This goal made Meazza stadium excited, cheers and screams filled the whole stadium.

Inter Milan quickly took advantage of Lazio's defensive space and always attacked from the right wing. Ribéry's breakthrough was canceled out by Albertini and they had a chance to win the ball back on the touchline.

Dalma quickly threw the ball into the penalty area, Vuong Phong ran to the ball, raised his foot to receive the ball, dodged Lazio defender Coto who wanted to steal the ball, then turned back to catch the ball.

He used his arm and body strength to block Favali who was retreating to defend, and at the same time shot with his left foot, passing through Sereni's ten fingers once again. In the end, the Nerazzurri defeated the Blue Eagles 2-0 at home and they reached the cup final with one leg!

.....

On February 8, within the framework of round 20 of Serie A, Inter Milan challenged Sampdoria away from home.

As usual, Mancini rested some key players and let Wang Feng start. I hope he can finish the fight by halftime.

In the 17th minute, after eliminating 3 defenders in a row in the front half, Wang Feng rushed into the penalty area and scored a volley, opening the score for the away team. In the 38th minute, he entered the penalty area from the right wing and then suddenly retreated. Caron, unmarked, shot and scored, increasing the lead.

Wang Feng completed his task of being replaced in midfield to rest, but he did not expect Inter Milan to immediately fall into a disadvantageous position in the second half. Perhaps due to many matches and the frequent appearance of the reserve team has caused fatigue. The team made many mistakes on the field. In the 67th minute, Sampdoria midfielder Carlozieri took advantage of the opportunity to score back for the home team, after which they often threatened Inter Milan's defense. Realizing that the situation was not good, Mancini had to replace Chivu and Makelele, stabilizing the midfield.

Inter Milan still won with a score of 2:1.

.....

On February 12, Inter Milan came to Rome to meet Lazio in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-finals. Unlike the first half, Inter Milan slowed down, while Lazio was in a desperate position to speed up the match, but the overall strength of Inter Milan's players was stronger and their mentality was more relaxed. . , so they still have control over the situation.

This gradually made Lazio players lose patience, and their defensive actions gradually increased. In the 35th minute, the Inter Milan midfielder fell at Dalma's feet. An anxious Liverani directly knocked him down.

Inter Milan received a direct free kick in the middle of the field, Dalma passed long to Wang Feng on the right wing. Then, he dribbled the ball to the right side of the penalty area, avoided Negro's block and made a diagonal pass. Vieri in front of goal could not take first place. The ball slid in front of the goal and entered the left area. Zanetti intercepted the ball on the touchline and reorganized the attack.

He observed the situation in the penalty area and then crossed the ball into the middle. Vuong Phong, who was originally on the right, ran to the middle to welcome him. Wang Feng's running position attracted the attention of Lazio's defense, and Vieri easily scored the goal without defending ~www.mtlnovel.com~Inter Milan scored another goal, this is still a goal Precious win outside!

Now the total score of the two teams is 3:0, which means Lazio will have to score 4 goals next time to come back and advance.

It was an impossible task for the Blue Eagle. Desperation was evident on everyone's faces. Goalkeeper Sereni angrily shouted at the defenders, asking why there were no players.

Defenders Stam and Coto were also very helpless. They saw that Vuong Phong had caught the ball in the middle. According to the experience of the previous match, at this time he will definitely block the ball and shoot or break through to shoot.

So one of them chose a defensive approach and the other chose to block the shooting trajectory, but they did not expect that Vuong Phong would take the lead, and Vieri next to him was almost ignored.

We cannot blame them for this situation. If there were no seats for these two people, Vuong Phong would definitely choose to play alone, and the possibility of scoring is also very high. After starting the match, Lazio players seemed a bit distracted and could no longer organize an effective attack. Inter Milan no longer presses the field but kills time to avoid injuries.

Coach Mancini replaced Wang Feng and other key players in the second half. It wasn't until the last minute that Lazio got a saving goal from substitute Otto.

Inter Milan defeated Lazio 3-1 in two matches and once again qualified for the Coppa Italia final. Their opponent will be Juventus, the team that eliminated AC Milan and won the right to enter the final.

…

After the match with Lazio, Vuong Phong flew back to China. To participate in the world preliminary round, he will miss round 21 of Serie A on February 15.

In this match, Inter Milan and Udinese drew 1:1. At a crucial moment, Adriano helped his teammates score the equalizer.
