Four league rounds and one cup match, Inter Milan's performance is remarkable, needless to say, Wang Feng, many media have focused their attention on the new face Franck Ribery, he can be said to be famous~www.mtlnovel.com~ Italy even dug deeper into the background of the player who has won the trust of the head coach and the starting position not long after he arrived: "This 19-year-old French teenager is three months older than Wang Feng. 3 goals and 2 assists."
"According to our reporter's in-depth interviews, before the winter break, he played for France 3's Ales, and Inter Milan only spent 80,000 euros to get him."
"It is rumored that since the beginning of this season, Inter Milan's striker has been suffering from constant injuries. It is Wang Feng who suggested to the club's senior management to introduce this rough striker. As for how they met, it is still unknown."
As soon as this report came out, it immediately caused an uproar in Italian football, and many celebrities jumped out to comment. The legendary Lazio star Kinaria said in an interview: "Serie A has declined, and any cat or dog can come to show off."
Obviously, he looked down on Ribery very much in his heart. Why should a French third player? He even vaguely pointed to Wang Feng, who is in the limelight, because he is not Italian, and many older generation stars are not satisfied with his dominance in Serie A.
Of course, most people still hold a rational attitude. The legendary Italian forward Mancini said: "Several of Ribery's goals were created by Wang Feng. Obviously this player has a keen football intelligence. He's always in the right place."
"But it's still too early to talk about his prospects. In fact, I don't think he has the qualifications to be the main offensive force in Serie A. He has almost no confrontation, lacks the ability to create opportunities, and his skills are immature."
"I can conclude that only by Wang Feng's side can he show a sharp offensive performance."
