After a warm victory, Inter Milan returned to the field to prepare for round 21 of Serie A against Turin, which is also a must-win opponent.
But luck does not seem to be on Inter Milan's side. The match had only started 8 minutes, defender Cordoba received a yellow card from the referee for being too defensive.
When the match entered the 23rd minute, Consicao suddenly fell to the ground during an attack, holding his thigh in pain. After a simple judgment, the team doctor determined it was a pulled muscle so it could only be replaced. Just 5 minutes later, Cordoba was provoked by an opposing player while defending. In anger, he pushed the opponent away and received the second yellow card of the match. Two yellow cards turned into red cards and he was sent off the field.
Inter Milan must fight with 10 men for the next 60 minutes. Turin strikers Lucarelli and Ferrante often threatened Inter Milan's defense, and even Vuong Phong often retreated to defend. In the first half of the match, Inter Milan could barely guarantee a goal and the two teams drew 0:0.
Cooper roared in the locker room during intermission: "How can you commit such a minor foul, Cordoba? The opponent was clearly provoking him. He should have played twelve games if he received a yellow card so early. "
"There is also the first yellow card, which is simply a minor offense that cannot be reduced."
The 26-year-old Colombian defender bowed his head and said nothing for a while. In his heart, he felt extremely regretful. Why did he become so impulsive? He is also an experienced veteran. However, the way to solve problems needs to be more mature.
The scolding is done, the problem must be resolved, the current situation on the field is very unfavorable for Inter Milan, they cannot blindly passively defend, they must show their offensive advantage and let Turin have to alert. So Cooper looked at Vuong Phong and said: "Wang, second round, I need you to take over the attack mission. You can expand the scope of your frontline operations and try to hold off the opponent as much as possible.
"The defense is left to Zanetti and the others. If you can't defend, you won't be on defense. You will be fixed in the midfield like a nail, resolutely applying a counter-attacking defense strategy. "
Vuong Phong nodded and said: "I understand, I will do it."
He then turned to Zanetti and the other defensive players and said: "The defensive duties in the second half will be assigned to you. I hope you will take seriously the previous defensive arrangements mine and Cordoba will be replaced by Sorondo."
"Ronnie, you can rest in the second half of the match. I have to strictly control your playing time." Ronaldo nodded, expressing his understanding.
Finally, Cooper concluded: "Everyone, now the championship has reached fever pitch. We have to aim for three points in every match, especially against a mid-table team like Torino, which team should win."
"Don't worry, this is our stadium, Giuseppe Meazza Stadium!"
After switching sides and regaining a stable position, Torino continued to apply the strategy of holding the ball and suppressing Inter Milan. They took full advantage of having more people and applied a strict defensive posture against Vuong Phong. Other Inter Milan players did not dare to give their all. Protect yourself.
Many times Vuong Phong counterattacked, moving forward quickly, without any teammates following him, and was surrounded by several people so he had to retreat and give up the attack.
Until the 85th minute, Inter Milan stole the ball again in the backfield. Materazzi passed the ball to Wang Feng in the middle of the field, allowing him to counterattack.
After receiving the ball, Vuong Phong immediately sent the ball toward the front court like a shooting star. Torino midfielder De Assentis followed Wang Feng closely, trying to keep the ball away from his feet. But Vuong Phong's speed is really too fast. After running more than 20 meters, he fell behind Vuong Phong by half. He could only helplessly watch Vuong Phong's figure get farther and farther away.
"Inter Milan organized a quick counterattack, Vuong Phong rushed forward with the ball, very fast. De Asentis was completely unable to follow in his footsteps and was thrown out!
"In the blink of an eye, Wang Feng was less than thirty meters from goal, but Turin's defenders quickly regained their position, Deli Carri and Galante combining with Fattori in the penalty area. Internal defense."
At this critical moment, the thoughts in Vuong Phong's mind seemed to speed up. His daily scenes and training experiences were constantly integrated into reality, and he quickly found the best solution.
Facing the double team of Deli Cary and Galante, he first suddenly slowed down, then leaned towards Galante, as if wanting to rush towards him to break the siege, forcing the Italian to block.
At this time, there was an opening between the two people. Vuong Phong quickly grabbed the discarded ball, used his toes to push the ball forward, and the ball was passed straight between the two people.
Deli Cary and Galante are also very experienced. They reacted immediately and quickly blocked their position to prevent Wang Feng from breaking through. This way, the ball and the person are completely separated, and another Fattori defender can easily be lost.
But Vuong Phong's momentum remained undiminished, he directly hit Deli Cary and Galante, forced them away, chased the ball and successfully kicked it out!
The moment Deli Cary and Galante came into physical contact with Wang Feng, they felt like they were hit by a speeding truck. They were stunned. It was too late to exert his power again, so he could only look helplessly at Vuong Phong. The wind flees.
Is he still an eighteen year old boy? This duel of strength is almost even with Vieri!
After a double team, Wang Feng went straight into the box and faced Fattori one-on-one. He used a large pendulum to easily pass the last defender ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and stop him. Only the goalkeeper remains.
Turin goalkeeper Butch fell to the ground to block, trying to take the ball from Wang Feng's feet, but Wang Feng lifted his foot and lobbed the ball in front of the small penalty area. causing him to lose his balance, roll over the guard's head and hit the ground.
But the ball was one step ahead of him, flew over the goalkeeper's head and gently fell into the goal. After falling to the ground, Vuong Phong quickly raised his head, just in time to see this scene.
Giuseppe Meazza Stadium opened for a minute of silence, then exploded like lit fireworks, 80,000 fans cheered loudly, and Wang Feng's name echoed throughout the stadium.
Cameras captured scenes of passionate fans in the stands, some recklessly waving signs with Vuong Phong's name on them, some shaking the Inter Milan flag, and more and more taking off their team uniforms. and hold it in your hand. Seeing Vuong Phong galloping in celebration, Cooper on the coach's chair couldn't help but feel his heart beat excitedly. This goal is really interesting. He ran more than 70 meters alone, continuously passed three defenders and put the ball into the opponent's net.
Vuong Phong saved Inter Milan tonight!
