King of World Football: Chapter 98 : Shortlisted for the Golden Ball
Wang Feng is well aware of his current ups and downs, but he believes that this state will not last long. With the continuous practice in daily life and the tempering in the league, he is now more and more comfortable handling the ball.
In the 14th round of Serie A, Inter Milan challenged Brescia away. This is a city team in northern Italy. It is currently ranked 14th in the league and is also a poor team.
Wang Feng regained his form in this game. In the 17th minute, Inter Milan launched a quick counterattack. Di Biagio dribbled the ball from the left to the frontcourt, and then passed it into the penalty area.
Wang Feng first used his chest to stop the ball in the penalty area, and then flicked the ball to the right with his right toe. The ball flew past the rushing defenders, and then Wang Feng went up and volleyed directly, opening the scoring for Inter Milan.
In stoppage time in the first half, Inter Milan took the ball from the midfielder, Gresco made a long pass to the left, and Di Biagio successfully reversed offside and caught up with the ball near the baseline.
Then he passed the ball to the middle, and Vieri from the back point grabbed the first point, and the header flew to the other side, and Wang Feng was waiting there to respond.
"Vieri gave Wang Feng a header. Facing two defenders, Wang Feng stopped the ball with his chest and hit the goal!! The ball went in, gooooooooooool!"
"After Wang Feng stopped the ball with his back and chest, he used a beautiful upside-down golden hook to blast Brescia's goal again."
"We can see that the ball passed between the two defensive players double-teaming Wang Feng. The Brescia goalkeeper's sight was blocked and he failed to react immediately."
"Wang Feng's goal is very imaginative. Before the game, the media speculated how many rounds of scoring shortage Wang Feng would face. Unexpectedly, he slapped them hard with a brace."
"This is not the first time that Wang Feng has left the Italian media speechless. At the beginning of the season, he used consecutive goals to severely attack those reports that looked down on him. I didn't expect it to be the same this time."
After scoring the goal, Wang Feng ran wildly on the sidelines. He was finally able to touch Ronaldo's playing state at that time. Before his body reacted, he made the best shot choice, and everything seemed very comfortable.
In the second half of the game, Inter Milan continued to control the scene. In the 60th minute, coach Cooper replaced Wang Feng. In the 67th minute, Di Biagio assisted Recoba to score the third goal.
The fly in the ointment is that Brescia seized a mistake in Inter Milan's backcourt before the end of the game and pulled back a goal, which can be regarded as saving a bit of face at home.

After the game, Wang Feng will go to Zurich, Switzerland to attend FIFA's annual awards ceremony.
Earlier, the winners of the European Golden Globe Awards had been revealed, and some media photographed the editor-in-chief of "French Football" magazine Jeter Pfennastiel appearing in Madrid, Spain.
In the end, Raul defeated Owen and won the 2001 European Golden Globe Award. Although Liverpool won the FA Cup, League Cup and England Community Shield last season, they achieved a triple crown.
However, they lost to Genk in the semi-finals of the Europa League and missed the European Super Cup. In the end, they regretted not being able to achieve the great cause of the five crowns, and Owen's achievements were greatly reduced.
On the other hand, Raul helped Real Madrid win the league championship, won the league golden boot, and won the Champions League golden boot. At the beginning of this season, he also won the Spanish Super Cup for Real Madrid, which is even more dazzling in comparison.
As soon as the news came out, the Spanish media rejoiced, while the English media wailed. Since Kevin Keegan won the Golden Globe in 1979, no British player has been able to win this award.
The headline of the "Times" in England reads "China's talented young player turned out, Owen's dream of smashing the golden ball." According to the analysis in the article, if Owen can create a historic five-time champion, even without the blessing of the Champions League, he can still have a chance Fight with Raul, but unfortunately Wang Feng turned all this into nothing.
"The Sun" once again led everyone to review the whole process of the Europa League semi-finals last season. They wrote: "Wang Feng scored all five goals in the two rounds of the series, almost by himself. Keeping Liverpool out of the final."
"Although Owen also scored three goals, he failed to help Liverpool win with a stronger lineup. This has to make people reflect on whether it is the head coach's tactical arrangement error, or Owen's performance is not dominant."
The "Guardian" analyzed the pursuit of Wang Feng by the major clubs in this summer's transition window, "No one thought that Wang Feng would choose to enter Serie A, but his ability is still beyond everyone's imagination."
"So far in Serie A, Wang Feng has scored a total of 18 goals, leading the Serie A scorer list, and has 6 assists. It can be said that he has jumped from the second-tier Serie A to the top Serie A. , almost in a state of seamless connection."
"Everyone can see that this young player who has just turned 18 will surely gallop in European football and win more honors in the not-too-distant future. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"
"But what is our Football Association doing? They spent a lot of time researching and finally came to the conclusion that it will take two years to amend the so-called Special Talents Introduction Act, which is very unreasonable."
"It makes the Premier League shut out this super-talent almost forever."
.........
All major media in Europe rushed to report. Wang Feng was shortlisted for the 2001 Golden Globe Award by virtue of the champion of the League One, the Golden Boot of the league, the champion of the Europa League and the best player of the Europa League. , and ranked tenth.
It is worth mentioning that Nakata Hidetoshi, who also played for Parma in Serie A, was also shortlisted for the list of candidates, but he was ranked outside the 30th place.
This is another grand occasion for Asian players. Although Wang Feng is not the first Asian player to be shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award, he is the first to win the top ten seats.
The official website of the AFC sent blessings to the two players at the first time. The picture on the official website undoubtedly occupied the position C of Wang Feng, while Hidetoshi Nakata was on the side.
This year's Asian Footballer has undergone reforms, adding an award called "Best Overseas Player", which is specially awarded to Asian players who have not played in Asia.
The first "Best Overseas Player" award was naturally won by Wang Feng, but he did not go back to receive the award, but was going to the FIFA award ceremony.
The Asian Footballer of the Year eventually went to Fan Zhiyi, who led the Chinese team to qualify for the World Preliminaries for the first time. Although he also played for the Scottish Dundee Football Club, he spent a large part of his time in the World Preliminaries in Asia.
The two consecutive Asian Footballer of the Year are all Chinese, which made the domestic fans excited. They all said that this is the best era of Chinese football.
