Time is constantly passing in the tight training and life. Before the start of the new season, Inter Milan has arranged several warm-up matches. The first is against Bresi in Serie A. This game attracts the attention of many media. They want to see the king How exactly does the wind behave.
Wang Feng came off the bench in the 70th minute and experienced the atmosphere on the field. What impressed him most was that the overall style of play of the Serie A team was slow, and defense and offense formed their own system, while Wang Feng played in rhythm before. Bright, quick offensive and defensive tactics.
In addition, the defensive strength is in stark contrast to the Serie A team. The defensive confrontation of the Serie A team is worthy of being the best in the five major leagues. Wang Feng was severely collided many times in the game. The referee thought it was normal physical confrontation. Protecting the ball will not concede the ball, but the deformed technical action can no longer pose any threat.
Therefore, he is not very suitable for this kind of tactical change and defensive intensity, and his performance on the field is relatively poor. There are very few key passes in the whole game, and the number of shots is only two.
In the end, Inter Milan and their opponents became 0:0.
After the game, the media waiting at the scene were ecstatic, as if they had found a breaking point, they wrote manuscripts immediately and published them the next day.
The headline of the "Turin Sports Daily" reads: "Genius players show their true colors, 18-year-old Wang Feng may not survive in Serie A." "Corriere dello Sport" said: "Roma has eliminated a competitor this year. A gratifying thing." The headline of Gazzetta dello Sport went even further: "Inter Milan pays for its stupidity, there is only one championship team in Milan."
Wang Feng was completely unwilling to read how he was described in the news. He only felt that the Italian media had deep malice towards him. It was no wonder that an 18-year-old Asian boy played the main force of the Serie A giants. Chico's Italian media was not satisfied.
A few days later, in the second warm-up match against Serie B Palermo, Inter Milan coach Cooper sent a substitute lineup to attend. Wang Feng did not enter the squad, relying on a goal from the substitute teenager, and finally won 1:0 opponent.
The Serie A media has another topic to hype. They have written articles speculating that Wang Feng may have lost the trust of the head coach, and what awaits him will be Xuezang or a loan to other leagues for training.
However, in the third warm-up match against Genoa in Serie B, Wang Feng started the game. His performance was still not very good. He seemed to be out of tune with the team's tactics. The audience only contributed one offensive plan. In the end, Inter Milan 3: 1 overwhelmed the opponent.
Cooper on the sidelines frowned. He felt that Wang Feng's performance was limited by the changes in skills and tactics. After other top league players switched to Serie A, many people would suddenly disappear, because this change made them unable to adapt. .
But what made him gratified was that Wang Feng had obviously noticed this too, and he was trying to adjust his playing style. Give him a period of running-in, and he would definitely develop better.
In the next few warm-up matches, Wang Feng's performance was indeed better than the previous one. Although he didn't score a goal, he planned many offensive threats and even contributed two direct assists.
However, the Italian media have given up paying attention to Wang Feng. In their view, Wang Feng is already a useless person and will be kicked out by Inter Milan sooner or later.
Pinettina training ground, the main coach's office on the second floor, Cooper looked at Wang Feng, who was practicing extra training on the court, and felt very relieved. He didn't expect Wang Feng to be able to withstand the pressure and actively and quickly integrate into the team's technical and tactical system. He had been observing from the sidelines and he clearly felt that the cooperation between Wang Feng and his teammates became more and more tacit.
Originally, he wanted the team's technical director Horacio Bohm to come forward to appease Wang Feng, so that he would not slander him in the unexpected world, and train with peace of mind. Inter Milan would give him enough time, but he didn't expect him to be able to adjust himself. it is good.
Those sarcastic words seemed to be like a whip, constantly urging Wang Feng to do better, the more he belittled him, the greater the effect of his rebound.
Cooper nodded in satisfaction. Now he believes more and more that the club has made the most correct choice, and Wang Feng is the key to their rise!
On August 26, 2001, at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium in Milan, Italy, the much-anticipated Serie A finally opened. Inter Milan will sit at home and face Perugia.
There is not much suspense in this game itself, because the overall strength of Inter Milan is a bit higher than that of Perugia, and it is not difficult to successfully score three points.
But the Nerazzurri fans are still sweating. The bad situation of last season is vivid, and the signings of this season have not been recognized. If the start is not good, I am afraid that the entire club will bear a lot of pressure.
Inter coach Cooper formed a three-five-two formation with Francisco Toldo in goal and Javier Zanetti, Ivan Ramilo Cordoba and Marco Matt at the back Lacy, central midfielders Vladislav Gresco, Cristiano Zanetti, Luigi Di Biagio, Alvaro Recoba and Sergio Consicao, UU Reading www. On uukanshu.com's front line are Christian Vieri and Wang Feng.
Although Wang Feng's performance in the warm-up match was not satisfactory, Cooper still let him start.
The opponent has a regular four-four-two formation, goalkeeper Mazzantini, defenders Ze Maria, Di Loreto, Bayoko and Milanese, midfielders Tedesco, Gatti, Blasi and Grosso, the forwards are Frizzas and Bazzani.
It is worth mentioning that South Korean player Ahn Jung-hwan did not appear in Perugia's starting list, and could only sit on the bench, and may not even be replaced. This made the Korean media hype the "Asian Derby" before the game became empty talk.
What would it be like if a stadium with 85,000 people was fully seated? When Wang Feng entered the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium, he was deeply shocked. The top stand that can only be seen by looking up, the crowd turned into densely packed dots at a glance.
Standing near the center circle, Wang Feng took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. At this time, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.
Perugia's head coach Lucius O'Leary is an experienced local coach. Last season, he led the young newly promoted horse to successfully avoid relegation, but then many of the main players in the team were favored by other clubs, including Matt Several outstanding players, including Lacy, were all bought.
Therefore, the club's performance goal this season is still relegation. O'Reilly does not want to return after a big defeat in the first round, so the morale of the team will seriously drop, and the road to relegation will become particularly unfavorable.
Under his tactical arrangement, Perugia is based on defense and plays very cautiously, while Inter Milan is aggressively pressing forward, hoping to gain the lead as soon as possible, and the next game will become easier.
