Chapter 203

In the 5th match of the Champions League group stage, Inter Milan was invited to Amsterdam to challenge Ajax.

Just three minutes into the match, Wang Feng seized the opportunity in front of the penalty area. It was Ribéry's cross. Vieri's shot in the penalty area was blocked by Ajax defender Maxwell.

When the ball reached the edge of the penalty area, Vuong Phong jumped up to catch the ball and shot from far away, piercing Ajax's goal, opening the score for Inter Milan.

In the following match, Ajax counterattacked with all their might, Bruges behind posed a major threat to their qualification, and the situation reached a deadlock. But in the 71st minute of the second half, Wang Feng was the one to attack from the right wing. He and Ribéry achieved a classic two-for-one partnership.

2:0! Inter Milan increases its lead!

Ajax pulled Zlatan Ibrahimovic's goal back before the match ended, but they couldn't recover in time. After this round, Inter Milan soon won first place in the group and climbed to the top 16 of the Champions League!

Teams in Serie A, Group B AC Milan, Arsenal and Lokomotiv Moscow are all competing for two qualifying spots. The gap between the three teams is very small. Who tops the table and who will be eliminated? Everything is still pending, the only thing left is to wait for the final round of the competition.

Juventus and Real Sociedad currently occupy the top two positions in Group D. It seems that neither Galatasaray nor Olympiacos can pose a threat to these two teams.

Lazio in Group G is even more tragic. So far, he has only had one victory. England is at the bottom of the rankings and lost the chance to qualify early. This makes it difficult for many Serie A media agencies to accept.

Their inability to beat well-funded Chelsea was understandable, but what was very surprising was that Sparta Prague and Besiktas were also able to stabilize the Blue Eagles.

"Serie A goes from peak to gloom?" Italy's Corriere della Sera commented: "Except for the top three teams in the north, the remaining teams in Serie A are all on a very clear downward trend, related to their poor financial situation."

"It's a never-ending cycle. Financial imbalance leads to unfavorable contracts, unfavorable contracts lead to a decline in performance, and a decline in performance will continue to cause a financial crisis. , leading to bankruptcy and relegation.

"Serie A should pay more attention to broadcasting and sponsorship, expand financial resources and support small and medium-sized clubs to keep them competitive enough, so that our top clubs can be more competitive in European football."

.....

Back in Italy, Inter Milan will face Juventus at the end of November. This is the first time the two teams have met in the national championship this season. Evaluating the past 10 rounds, Juventus is in a very disadvantageous position and almost lost the opportunity to compete for the championship. . Even worse, the Dutch midfielder van der Meyde they introduced this summer did not perform well and even had some conflicts with coach Lippi.

The Dutch player answered in an interview that he did not understand Lippi's tactical training: "We are like rabbits, jumping on the training field according to the head coach's instructions. I don't understand the meaning of that." This".

The 24-year-old has performed very well at Ajax. He and his team reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League before being favored by many giants, including Juventus. Inter Milan also expressed interest in him. In the end, Juventus, two years in a row without results, beat everyone and spent a lot of money to show off, hoping to reverse their decline in the new season, but Van der Meyde clearly made them disappointed. Dutch players are very rare.

And van der Meyde publicly questioned coach Lippi, which also punished him. In the two most recent matches of Juventus and the Champions League, the Dutch player was not called up to the squad.

This incident made Lippi, who no longer had any majesty, even more disgraced. The club's senior management had no intention of supporting him. Instead, they secretly and actively searched for a new coaching candidate. Their patience has reached its limit.

.....

The Milan sun in November is still warm and Milan Malpensa airport is crowded with passengers from all over the world. At the domestic terminal area, a large number of reporters were waiting for the Bianconeri's appearance.

Many curious tourists and Juventus fans who had been to Milan before also gathered to wait for this Serie A team with the longest history and most titles.

When the big team Juventus appeared in everyone's sight, there were exclamations and crazy flashing lights. Airport security forces were organized in advance and quickly guided them to get on the bus and leave the scene. Go to your hotel. The players under the lens looked very tired, Nedved no longer had his usual smile and Trezeguet looked even more serious, not only because of the non-stop battles in the Champions League and the championship but also because of "disagreements". recently happened. location. be made public.

An eagle-eyed journalist discovered that Van der Meyde was still not in the team and was left behind in Turin. Even if he is not selected to compete, as usual, the Dutch player still has the opportunity to practice with the team.

But Lippi clearly has no intention of letting him go, as long as he's still there, Van der Meyde won't even think about being on his team!

The reporters looked at each other with disappointment, and they all felt that this trip was worthwhile and had new topics to play with after they returned.

..... The match took place as expected in a chaotic state ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Inter Milan opened first, Ribery returned the ball directly, the home team immediately opened up, the Bianconeri's intentions were very clear, pressing high and give way.

The opening goal was less than a minute later, Nedved stole the ball from Dalma in the middle of the field. After falling twice, he sent a long pass straight to Trezeguet in the front yard. The French player was fast but did not attack quickly, Toldo did not attack quickly, the Inter Milan goalkeeper flew to pick up the ball and quickly threw it to Cordoba to reorganize the attack.

Juventus played very proactively and pressed the field again. Tacchinardi also fouled Zanetti while getting the ball. The latter player was kicked in the calf and fell to the ground in pain, causing Inter fans present to boo.

However, the referee did not show a card but gave Inter Milan a free kick in the backfield. Zanetti returned to the field after simple treatment, the anger in the hearts of Inter Milan's warriors continued.

Do you want to master the offense? Okay, don't blame me for touching your empty back line!

Furthermore, Inter Milan is currently not afraid of heavy attacks. Their defense is completely different from last season.

In the 10th minute, Inter Milan counterattacked. Materazzi made a long pass from the backfield.

Franck Ribéry received the ball without any ink and returned it directly to Wang Feng. At this time, Juventus' empty defense line was completely exposed, in front of Vuong Phong there was only one defender, Lelottale.

Of course that couldn't stop him, I saw him swing a big pendulum over the defense to form a single knife, and picking up the ball with his toes as the goalkeeper kicked in front of him, he passed Buffon's outstretched arms in the air. , then falls into the net.

1:0! Inter Milan takes the lead!
