King of World Football: Chapter 205 : Bianconeri in decline

In the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, Inter Milan was a guest in Amsterdam to challenge Ajax.

Just three minutes into the game, Wang Feng seized an opportunity at the front of the penalty area. This was Ribery's cross, and Vieri's shot inside the penalty area was blocked by Ajax defender Maxwell.

When the ball came to the sideline of the penalty area, Wang Feng jumped out to face the ball and took a long shot, piercing Ajax's goal and opening the scoring for Inter Milan.

In the ensuing game, Ajax counterattacked with all their strength, and Bruges behind them posed a great threat to their qualifying, and the situation fell into a stalemate.

But in the 71st minute of the second half, it was Wang Feng who attacked from the right again. He and Ribery achieved a classic two-for-one cooperation.

2:0! Inter Milan extended its lead!

Ajax pulled a goal back from Zlatan Ibrahimovic before the end of the game, but they were unable to recover. After this round, Inter Milan secured the first place in the group ahead of schedule and advanced to the top 16 of the Champions League!

Other teams in Serie A, Group B, AC Milan, Arsenal and Lokomotiv Moscow are all vying for the two qualifying spots. The gap between the three teams is very small. Who is the first in the group and who will be eliminated? Everything is still pending, just waiting The last round of the contest.

Juventus and Real Sociedad currently occupy the top two places in the standings in Group D. It seems that neither Galatasaray nor Olympiacos can pose any threat to these two teams.

Lazio in Group G is more tragic. It has only won one victory so far. It is at the bottom of the standings and lost the possibility of qualifying early. This is difficult for many Serie A media to accept.

It is understandable if they can't beat the well-funded Chelsea, but it is very surprising that Sparta Prague and Besiktas can also stabilize the Blue Eagles.

"Serie A is turning from heyday to slump?" The Italian Corriere della Sera commented: "Except for the top three in the north, the rest of the Serie A teams have a very obvious decline trend, which is related to their poor financial situation."

"This is an endless cycle. Financial imbalances lead to unfavorable signings, unfavorable signings lead to a decline in performance, and the decline in performance will further trigger a financial crisis, until bankruptcy and relegation."

"Serie A should pay more attention to broadcasting and sponsorship, broaden financial resources and support small and medium-sized clubs to keep them competitive enough, so that our top clubs will be more competitive in European football."

.........

Returning to Italy, Inter Milan will face Juventus at the end of November. This is the first time the two sides have met in the league this season. Judging from the past 10 rounds, Juventus is in a very unfavorable position and almost lost the chance to compete for the championship. .

To make matters worse, the Dutch midfielder van der Meyde they introduced in the summer performed poorly, and even had some conflicts with coach Lippi.

The Dutchman said in an interview that he did not understand Lippi's tactical training: "We are like rabbits, jumping around on the training ground according to the instructions of the head coach. I don't understand the meaning of this."

The 24-year-old performed very well in Ajax. He reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League with the team before he was favored by many giants including Juventus. Inter Milan had also expressed interest in him .

In the end, Juventus, which had no results for two consecutive years, defeated all competitors and spent a lot of money to introduce him, hoping to reverse the decline in the new season, but obviously Van der Meyde let them down. Dutch players are few and far between.

And van der Meyde openly questioned the coach Lippi, which also made him punished. In Juventus's last two league games and the Champions League, the Dutchman did not enter the squad.

This incident made Lippi, who had little majesty left, even more disgraced. The club's top management did not intend to support him. Instead, they secretly actively searched for a new coach candidate. Their patience has reached the limit.

.........

The sunshine in Milan in November is still warm, and the Milan Malpensa Airport is crowded with passengers from all over the world. In the domestic terminal area, a large number of reporters are waiting for the Bianconeri to arrive.

Many curious tourists and Juventus fans who came to Milan in advance also gathered together, waiting for this Serie A team with the longest history and the most honors.

When the large Juventus team appeared in the sight of everyone, it attracted bursts of exclamation and frantically flashing flashing lights. The security forces at the airport had been arranged in advance, guiding them quickly into the bus and leaving the scene. Go to your hotel.

The players under the camera looked very tired, Nedved no longer had the usual smile, and Trezeguet looked even more serious, not only because of the continuous battles in the Champions League and the league, but also because of the recent "disagreements" that have been hyped.

A sharp-eyed reporter discovered that Van der Meyde still did not appear in the team, and he was left in Turin. Even if he did not enter the squad for the competition, according to the usual practice, the Dutchman should still have the opportunity to train with the team.

But Lippi obviously does not intend to let him go, as long as he is still there, Van der Meyde will not even think about appearing in his team!

The reporters looked at each other in blank dismay, and they all felt that the trip was worthwhile, and there were new topics to play on after returning.

.........

The game came as scheduled in the turmoil~www.mtlnovel.com~ Inter Milan kicked off first, Ribery kicked the ball back directly, the home team immediately opened up, and the intention of the Bianconeri was very obvious, pressing high and giving it a go.

Less than a minute into the opening, Nedved steals the ball from Dalma in the midfield. After falling down twice, he directly sends a long pass to Trezeguet in the frontcourt. The Frenchman is quick, but He didn't attack Toldo fast, the Inter Milan goalkeeper flew to pick the ball, and quickly threw it to Cordoba to reorganize the attack.

Juventus was very active and pressed again. Tacchinardi also fouled Zanetti during the process of grabbing the ball. The latter was kicked in the calf and fell to the ground in pain, causing the Inter fans at the scene to boo.

However, the referee did not draw a card, but gave Inter Milan a free kick in the backcourt. Zanetti returned to the field after a simple treatment, and the anger in the hearts of Inter Milan soldiers was drawn out.

Do you want to overpower the offense? Okay, then don't blame me for hitting your empty backline!

Moreover, the current Inter Milan is not afraid of oppressive attacks at all. Their defense line is completely different from last season.

In the 10th minute, Inter Milan counterattacked. Materazzi sent a long pass from the backcourt.

Franck Ribery received the ball without ink marks, and directly kicked it back to Wang Feng. At this time, Juventus' empty defense line was completely exposed, and Wang Feng had only one defender, Lelottale, in front of him.

Of course this couldn't stop him, I saw him swung a large pendulum over the defense to form a single knife, and picked the ball with his toes when the goalkeeper hit in front of him, it crossed Buffon's straight arm in the air, and then fell into the net.

1:0! Inter Milan takes the lead!
