Chapter 82

Time keeps passing in the midst of training and tight living. Before the new season started, Inter Milan organized a number of preparation matches. The first was the match against Bresi in Serie A. This match attracted the attention of many media. They wanted to see the king. How exactly does wind work? Wang Feng came off the bench in the 70th minute and felt the atmosphere on the field. What impressed him most was that the Serie A team's overall playing style was slow, with defense and attack forming their own system, while Wang Feng previously played rhythmically. Brilliant and fast attack and defense tactics.

Furthermore, the defensive strength is in complete contrast to the Serie A team. The Serie A team's opposition defense deserves to be the best in the five major tournaments. Wang Feng was severely beaten several times during the match. The referee considered this a normal confrontation. The defender of the ball will not concede a goal, but the deviant technical movement can no longer be threatening.

Therefore, he is not very suitable for this type of change in tactics and defensive intensity, and his performance on the field is relatively poor. There were very few key passes in the entire match and shots were only two. In the end, Inter Milan and the opponent drew 0:0.

After the match, the media waiting at the scene were overjoyed. As if they had found a breakthrough, they immediately wrote a manuscript and published it the next day.

"Turin Sports Daily" headlined: "Genius players show their true nature, 18-year-old Wang Feng may not be able to survive in Serie A." Le Corriere dello Sport said: "This year Roma eliminated an opponent. That is a good thing." The headline from Gazzetta dello Sport went even further: "Inter Milan must pay the price for its stupidity, there is only one champion team in Milan."

Vuong Phong absolutely does not want to read news describing himself. He just felt that the Italian media had deep ill will towards him. It's no surprise that an 18-year-old Asian would star for the Serie A giants. Chico's Italian media were not pleased.

A few days later, in the second warm-up match against Serie B Palermo, Inter coach Milan Cooper sent a substitute player. Vuong Phong did not join the team, relying on the reserve teenager's goal, eventually winning 1:0 against his opponent.

The Serie A media have something else to brag about. They wrote articles speculating that Wang Feng may have lost the trust of the head coach and what awaits him will be Xuezang or loaned to other tournaments to practice.

However, in the third warm-up match against Genoa in Serie B, Wang Feng started from the start. His performance is still not very good. He seems conflicted with the team's tactics. The public only contributes to a plan of attack. In the end, Inter Milan overwhelmed their opponents with a score of 3:1.

Cooper on the sideline frowned. He felt that Vuong Phong's performance was limited by changes in skills and tactics. After other top players moved to Serie A, many suddenly disappeared, because the change made them unable to adapt. . But what makes him happy is that Vuong Phong has obviously also noticed him, is adjusting his playing style, giving him some time to rest, he will definitely develop better.

In the next warm-up matches, Vuong Phong's performance was indeed better than the previous match. Although he did not score a goal, he planned many attacks and even contributed two assists.

However, the Italian media gave up paying attention to Vuong Phong. In their eyes, Vuong Phong is already a useless person, sooner or later he will be kicked out of the field by Inter Milan.

.....

Pinettina training ground, head coach's office on the second floor. Cooper looked at Vuong Phong practicing more on the field, feeling very relieved. He did not expect that Vuong Phong could withstand the pressure and actively integrate into the team's technical and tactical system. He was always watching by the side, clearly feeling that Vuong Phong's cooperation with his teammates became more and more harmonious. Originally, he wanted the team's technical director, Horacio Bohm, to come out and appease Vuong Phong, so that he wouldn't be slandered in the unwanted world and could practice with peace of mind. Inter Milan will give him enough time, but he doesn't expect him to be able to adapt. It is good.

These sarcastic words are like a whip, constantly urging Vuong Phong to do better. The more he despises him, the greater the rebound effect.

Cooper nodded with satisfaction. Now he is more and more convinced that the club made the right choice, and Vuong Phong is the key to their rise!

.....

On August 26, 2001, at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium in Milan, Italy, the highly anticipated Serie A tournament finally kicked off. Inter Milan will play at home against Perugia.

This match itself did not have much suspense, because Inter Milan's overall strength was a bit higher than Perugia's, so it was not difficult to successfully score three points.

But Nerazzurri fans are still sweating. The bad situation last season is clearly visible and this season's contracts are not recognized. If the start is not good, I'm afraid the whole club will be under a lot of pressure.

Inter coach Cooper formed a three-year lineup with Francisco Toldo in goal and Javier Zanetti, Ivan Ramilo Cordoba and Marco Matt behind Lacy, central midfielders Vladislav Gresco, Cristiano Zanetti, Luigi Di Biagio, Alvaro Recoba and Sergio Consicao, UU Reading from www. Heading uukanshu.com are Christian Vieri and Wang Feng.

Although Wang Feng's warm-up performance was unsatisfactory, Cooper still let him start. The opponents have a regular lineup of four four two, goalkeeper Mazzantini, defenders Ze Maria, Di Loreto, Bayoko and Milanese, midfielders Tedesco, Gatti, Blasi and Grosso, strikers Frizzas and Bazzani.

It is worth mentioning that Korean player Ahn Jung-hwan is not on Perugia's starting list and can only sit on the bench, and may not even be replaced. This caused Korean media to hail the "Asian Derby" before the match became empty talk.

What if a stadium with a capacity of 85,000 people was filled to capacity? When Wang Feng entered Giuseppe Meazza Stadium, he was extremely shocked. The stands above were only visible when looking up, the crowd turned into dense dots at a glance.

Standing near the center circle, Vuong Phong took a deep breath, trying to calm down. At this time, the referee blew the whistle to start the match.

Perugia head coach Lucius O'Leary is an experienced local coach. Last season he successfully guided newly promoted Young Horse to avoid relegation, but many of the team's key players were subsequently favored by other clubs, including Matt. Several excellent players, including Lacy, were purchased. Therefore, the club's achievement goal this season is still relegation. O'Reilly does not want to return after a heavy defeat in round 1, so the team's morale will seriously decline, and the path to relegation will become especially unfavorable.

According to their tactical plan, Perugia favors defense and plays very cautiously, while Inter Milan moves forward strongly in the hope of gaining an advantage as quickly as possible, so the next match will become easier.
