King of World Football: Chapter 214 : Undercurrent surging

When Wang Feng won the World Player of the Year in Basel, Inter Milan encountered trouble in Bologna. This was the first game of Recoba's return from injury, and his condition has obviously not returned to his best.

The Nerazzurri had an advantage on the field, but failed to score for a long time. Instead, Bologna seized a chance of a defensive counterattack in the 67th minute and scored the only goal of the game.

0:1! Inter Milan lost to Bologna in an upset at home, ending their unbeaten record.

Victory can cover up all problems. Once failure occurs, discord will gradually surface. When Gazzetta dello Sport praised Wang Feng for being named Mr. Double Material, he also criticized Inter Milan's striker without hesitation.

"Those who rely too much on Wang Feng seem to have forgotten how to attack. The tomahawk attack that Vieri was most proud of has disappeared. Franck Ribery is an embarrassment, and his finishing touch is unbearable to look at."

The Corriere della Sera even broke the news that Vieri was at odds with coach Mancini and the club's top management. After a short honeymoon period, the two sides had some differences.

Mancini believes that the reason why Vieri has not been able to return to his peak is unrestrained indulgence. He is often photographed spending a good night with several girls, while Vieri is dissatisfied with Mancini's too wide control over his private life.

The 30-year-old Italian who suffered serious injuries is no longer as brave as he used to be, so the club executives wanted to buy back Adriano in the winter transfer window, but this made Vieri annoyed again.

As the third strongman in the Serie A scorer list last season, Adriano's strength and worth doomed him to be impossible to become a substitute rotation, which means that Vieri must face the situation of competing with Adriano.

He couldn't accept this situation, so he talked to Moratti with his agent, but the result was not satisfactory, "If this is the case, then sell me this summer!" Vieri said decisively.

Moratti hesitated for a while, then said: "Think again, Christian, if you really want to leave, we will respect your wishes."

.........

On the private plane flying to Milan, Wang Feng was browsing the latest news, his brows were tightly frowned, and he couldn't understand why the situation would deteriorate so quickly.

Lu Yao poured a glass of water and handed it to him: "Don't read the rumored news anymore, the situation is definitely not as bad as they say, haven't you already called Ribery?"

Wang Feng took a sip and said, "Yes, Ribery said everything was normal, and Vieri didn't show any obvious emotions, but I know this contradiction cannot be resolved, just like Ronnie did."

"I'm just a little emotional, why can't every season be smooth sailing? Ronnie's contradictions in the first year, last year's continuous injuries and unstable defense, and this year's contradictions, as well as the pressure from the referee."

"But didn't you overcome all of these? You also achieved brilliant results." Lu Yao leaned against Wang Feng's body and said softly, "No matter how the environment changes, I believe you will always be that radiant stadium superstar."

.........

In the 14th round of Serie A, which is also the last round before the winter break, Inter Milan challenged Lazio away.

On the day of the game, it rained lightly in Rome, and the temperature was also very low. The performance of the players on both sides was relatively sluggish in the opening period, and their bodies had not yet adapted to the wet and cold environment.

In the 30th minute, Inter Milan had a free kick opportunity. After Wang Feng lobbed the ball into the penalty area, Vieri struggled to squeeze away Lazio defender Favalli and headed the ball into the opponent's goal.

After scoring the goal, Vieri let out a roar, and then rushed along the sidelines to celebrate. He wanted to vent all the depression of the past few days, he is not old yet!

Changing sides to fight again, coach Cooper made substitution adjustments, replacing Ribery with Recoba and Vieri with Caron.

In the 67th minute, Lazio striker Corradi took the ball at the front of the penalty area and suddenly took a long shot. The ball hit Zambrotta and changed the angle. Goalkeeper Toldo was caught off guard and could only watch the ball enter the net.

1:1! The home team equalized the score!

But they were not happy for too long. Just 3 minutes later, Zanetti sent a long pass in the backcourt. Recoba stopped the ball with his back and made it back. Wang Feng who inserted from his side quickly passed the ball take away.

After entering the penalty area, Wang Feng dunked Negro's left foot and volleyed to the bottom corner of the goal. Goalkeeper Sereni made a save, but he still couldn't save the shot from a tricky angle.

The Nerazzurri overtook the score again!

Towards the end of the game, Wang Feng planned another quick counterattack. He and Recoba successfully tore through Lazio's defense line with continuous passes from Caron in the frontcourt.

Wang Feng is located in the middle position, constantly distributing the ball to Recoba and Carlon, who are fast on the left and right, and then responding to their return pass, so as to involve the Lazio defender's mind.

This requires Wang Feng's passing to be very precise, to be able to find his teammates without any mistakes, and also requires him to catch the ball quickly and in a timely manner.

In the end, Recoba completed the last pass and sent the ball into the penalty area, and Caron pushed in front of the goal to make a contribution.

3:1! Inter Milan completely defeated their opponents.

After this campaign, Inter Milan's record was 11 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. With 35 points, they still ranked first in the league standings and won the half-time championship.

.........

Entering the winter break, Wang Feng treated the team to a meal as usual~www.mtlnovel.com~ and then went back to their respective homes. He himself is the same as before, looking for a seaside city with a pleasant climate to train while on vacation.

This time they chose Cefalu, a small town on the island of Sicily, with its back against the cliffs of Mount Rocca. The houses in the town are all built near the sea, with white walls and red tiles. From a distance, Mount Rocca looks like a A natural castle guards the town.

There is also a famous golden beach in Cefalu. The sun shines on the sand and it looks very beautiful. Wang Feng and the others rented a hut by the beach to enjoy the sun and the beautiful scenery.

This is the first New Year since Wang Feng and Lu Yao established their relationship. Both of them can't help themselves, and they often get tired of being together, which makes the younger sister very speechless.

"I think you might as well live together." The younger sister said carelessly, Lu Yao's face flushed immediately, it seemed a little difficult for her conservative personality to accept it now.

Wang Feng stared at his younger sister viciously. Originally, he planned to proceed step by step and push the boat along the way when the atmosphere gradually improved. Now that his younger sister interfered with it, he must be ruined.

"Don't think about me buying you bags and clothes in the future!" He thought angrily.

During the short winter break, all Serie A teams were not idle. Juventus is actively looking for candidates for the new coach. It is said that they had some contact with the former Inter Milan coach Cooper, but the Argentine declined the Bianconeri's invitation.

Then they focused on the current Roma coach Fabio Capello. It is true that Roma is now very prosperous, surpassing AC Milan in the standings, only behind Inter Milan, but the club's debt crisis is getting worse every day, so he is a little bit excited.

Inter Milan still brought Adriano back from Parma at a sky-high price of 27 million euros, and the seemingly calm dressing room will be undercurrents.
