King of World Football: Chapter 165 : Chaotic Barcelona
After two months, the second stage of the Champions League group stage rekindled the battle. Inter Milan will go to Barcelona to challenge the La Liga powerhouse Barcelona.
In the past period of time, Barcelona was a mess inside and outside. Coach Van Gaal stubbornly used the "Dutch Gang". The team's style of play was chaotic.
In this case, the first half of the game ended, Barcelona only ranked twelfth in the La Liga standings, and the Catalan media attacked the coach like snowflakes.
Cruyff, the godfather of Barcelona, even wrote a series of articles to directly abuse Van Gaal, thinking that he is "stubborn and incurable, and he must get out of Barcelona immediately."
Van Gaal was naturally not to be outdone, and fought back many times during interviews. It was precisely because of the media's finger-pointing that the mentality of the Barcelona players was unbalanced.
In the extreme chaos, Van Gaal dismissed get out of class sadly, and the firefighting coach Antić took over Barcelona for the second half of the league. Although their performance has rebounded, they are still far away from the Champions League next season.
Therefore, this season's Champions League Barcelona must go all out. Before the game, Antić mobilized the players: "Everyone, although Inter Milan is very strong, they are not invincible, whether it is the loopholes in the defense or the front line. Injuries are their weakness."
The players looked at the head coach with different expressions. Obviously, he hadn't gained all the trust of everyone after putting out the fire temporarily.
.........
On the evening of February 19th, at the Nou Camp Stadium in Barcelona, players from Barcelona and Inter Milan were already standing side by side in the player channel, ready to enter the field.
The Argentine Riquelme was curiously looking at Wang Feng in front of the Inter Milan queue, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "He is so young!"
Wang Feng noticed his gaze, so he looked back, Riquelme smiled at him, Wang Feng nodded, neither of them spoke.
Barcelona played a four-four-two formation in this game, and the goalkeeper was Bonano.
Defender Reziger, Frank De Boer, Xavi, Puyol.
Midfielders Riquelme, Cocu, Overmars, Mendieta.
Forwards Kluivert and Saviola.
Under the leadership of the referee, players from both sides walked into the field, and they were greeted with applause and cheers that resounded through Camp Nou. Even though Barcelona performed poorly this year, the attendance at home is still very impressive.
Barcelona took the lead to kick off, and Mendieta passed the ball back to the backcourt. Their strategy in this game is to rely on pass control to gradually penetrate the opponent's defense, so they are not in a hurry to attack.
Inter Milan adopted a defensive counterattack strategy and was not in a hurry to speed up. Therefore, in the first period of time, the main battlefield of both sides was concentrated in the middle position, and neither of them formed a good shooting opportunity.
In the 34th minute, Barcelona failed to launch an attack. Kluivert was intercepted by Materazzi in the frontcourt, and the latter passed it to Dalma, who quickly distributed the ball to the left.
After Di Biagio took the ball, he cast aside his position in front of the field, rubbed a long diagonal pass with his left foot, and went directly to Wang Feng. At this time, Rezig and Harvey were standing beside him. player.
Facing the incoming ball, Wang Feng suddenly started to seize the landing point, and the two defenders were not far behind. Harvey even clinged to Wang Feng, entangled him tightly with his hands and feet.
With his keen senses, Wang Feng stuck to the first landing point, raised his right foot and stopped the ball. The ball fell with Wang Feng's footing, without a single gap in the whole process, as if stuck to his shoes.
Seeing this, Harvey became even more anxious. Regardless of whether there would be a risk of foul, he raised his arm slightly and slammed into Wang Feng. He quickly exerted force in his lower limbs, and his center of gravity dropped, so that he did not lose his balance.
Wang Feng immediately moved the ball forward, and then quickly escaped from Harvey's entanglement, leaving only the Spaniard with an unbelievable face. Just now, Harvey who hit him almost couldn't stand still, but Wang Feng was able to resist. live? In the past, he always heard how excellent Wang Feng's confrontation was, which was the nightmare of all defenders, but today he finally saw it.
Harvey, who came back to his senses, quickly chased after Wang Feng, but he saw Wang Feng's speed again. The Spaniard found sadly that even though he was accelerating with all his strength, he was still being pulled away gradually. To stop Wang Feng, he could only stretch out his hand Go and stop him, but this kind of foul will definitely be punished with death.
In a blink of an eye, Wang Feng entered the penalty area. Barcelona goalkeeper Bonano quickly abandoned the goal, but Wang Feng suddenly kicked the ball to the lower right corner of the goal.
Bonanno was caught off guard and quickly fell to the ground to save, but he was still a step too late, the ball passed under him and rolled into the Barcelona goal.
"goooooooooooooooooooal! Goal scored! Wang Feng opened the scoring for Inter Milan!"
"Wang Feng tore through Barcelona's defense with his amazing ball-stopping skills and excellent confrontation ability! At this time, the camera was shown on Harvey, and there was still a look of surprise on his face."
"We can't blame him. All defenders in Serie A have already suffered from Wang Feng. His body doesn't look strong enough, but it contains tremendous strength, which is no less than that of a center forward."
"I need to remind the fans in front of the TV again that Wang Feng has just turned nineteen, that is to say, his body still has room to grow. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com God, I have to defend Wang Feng's A moment of silence for the defenders."
.........
The Barcelona players seemed to be reminded of the tragic game some time ago, their morale fell to the bottom, and even the Nou Camp fans lost a lot of cheering voices.
At this time, the team needs a banner player to restore everyone's morale, but it is a pity that Barcelona does not have such a player now.
They kept turning their feet in the midfield, using their excellent passing and control skills to control the ball at their feet, but they did not attack, as if the one behind was Inter Milan instead of them.
It is also not good for Inter Milan to press too tightly, so as not to cause open space mistakes, so they can only wait in line to prevent Barcelona from attacking. In such a passive game, time quietly came to the end.
At the end of the game, Inter Milan got another chance. Dalma dribbled the ball through the midfield and then distributed it to Di Biagio on the left. The latter advanced while waiting for the other Inter players to respond.
Near the penalty area, Barcelona full-back Reziger stepped forward to intercept, but Di Biagio stepped on the ball, then swiped in the opposite direction, and then caught up with the ball and pushed it across the middle.
Wang Feng, who responded, got the ball and got rid of Harvey with a Marseille roundabout on the sideline of the penalty area. After taking two steps horizontally, he hit the goal directly with the outside of his right foot.
The ball drew an arc in the air and entered the net from the upper right corner of the goal. Goalkeeper Bonano made a full save, but failed to reach the ball.
2:0! Inter Milan beat Barcelona.
After the game, watching the Barcelona players enter the locker room with their heads bowed one by one, Wang Feng felt that the team needed to be rebuilt.
