King Of World Football

Chapter 198: Super star

September 28th, Friuli Stadium, Serie A Round 4, Inter Milan will face Udinese here.

After the game started, both teams did not deliberately slow down the pace, and the speed of transition between offense and defense was very fast. Udinese took the lead in attacking, Yankulovski's shot from a small angle on the left side of the penalty area hit the side netting.

Inter Milan quickly responded, Wang Feng, after receiving Ribery's pass, sprinted near the top of the penalty area, suddenly stopped, and with defender Bettotto losing balance due to inertia, Wang Feng seized the opportunity to shoot directly, beating goalkeeper De Sanctis, and the ball went into the net.

1-0!

Although Inter Milan led, Udinese still caused them a lot of trouble, especially in the 33rd minute when the home team got a free-kick opportunity, Pizarro's ball from the left side, Fava fell in the penalty area, and the referee immediately blew the whistle, awarding a penalty.

Darma stared angrily, wanting to argue with the referee, goalkeeper Tordo desperately stopped him, from the slow-motion replay, both had some minor actions, but Fava's fall seemed to have little strong correlation with Darma.

Nevertheless, the penalty had been given, Tordo tapped his face to motivate himself, Pizarro took the penalty, Tordo judged the direction correctly and directly saved the ball out of the baseline! Tordo, who successfully saved the penalty, raised his arms and shouted, teammates surrounded him excitedly, encouraging each other, vowing to win!

Shortly after the start of the second half, Wang Feng actively retreated to support, after receiving the ball, he turned and dribbled forward, seizing the opportunity to send a through ball, which successfully tore Udinese's defense, and Vieri scored another goal for Inter Milan.

The score of 2-0 was maintained until the end, Inter Milan achieved four consecutive victories.

Regarding Inter Milan's strong performance this season, Belgomi pointed out the key factor during an interview, "Inter Milan's defense has become solid."

"Mancini is a coach with ideas. It can be seen from his decision to decisively let go of Cannavaro and put Coco on the bench. Both of these players are powerful generals, but they don't fit Inter Milan's tactics."

"As for Wang Feng, I think I don't need to make too much comment. His performance has been as stable as ever. If a solid defense is the bottom line of the results, then Wang Feng will determine the upper limit of Inter Milan's performance this season."

"That's the role of a superstar!"

Inter Milan, with a bi-weekly schedule, rushed to Vigo, Spain for the second round of the Champions League group stage against Celta Vigo.

Since the next league round is a strong match against AC Milan, Mancini rotated the starting lineup in this game, Wang Feng was placed on the bench, and Vieri didn't even travel with the team to Spain.

Since the start of La Liga, Celta Vigo, who finished fourth last year, has suffered a lot. With severe personnel losses in the summer and the need to prepare for two fronts, they have encountered four consecutive losses in the league and are currently at the bottom of the standings.

However, they still don't want to give up the hard-won Champions League opportunity. In the first round, they struggled to draw with Club Brugge and also attacked Inter Milan with all their might.

The away team was caught off guard. In the sixth minute, Celta Vigo got a free-kick opportunity in the frontcourt. Gaven assisted forward Orlando, who headed the ball into the goal!

After that, no matter how Inter Milan attacked, they couldn't break through the opponent's defense. In the 65th minute of the second half, Mancini replaced Martins with Ribery, but there was still no improvement.

The coach, unable to bear it any longer, finally substituted Wang Feng in the 75th minute, and soon received results.

In the 81st minute, Raimondi received the ball on the left side of the penalty area and immediately lobbed into the penalty area. Celta Vigo defender Jorge rushed to intercept, but Wang Feng's reaction was faster. In a flash, he kicked the ball away.

Years of practice have made him familiar with everything about the ball. It is no exaggeration to say that now he can completely control the direction in which the ball rolls and the distance it rolls will never exceed his expectations.

Just like this time, under his handling, the ball easily avoided Jorge's tackle and slid behind the Celta Vigo defense. The fans in the stands could only see Jorge trying to clear the ball, but for some reason, he missed the ball and let it slip away.

The barrier in front of the goal turned into a "sieve," shocking the home fans, and Celta Vigo goalkeeper Marchi urgently rushed out because he saw Wang Feng catching up with the ball and no one defending him! At the moment Wang Feng touched the ball, he chose to shoot directly, giving Marchi no chance to make up for it. The Spaniard stretched his body to the extreme but still couldn't touch the ball flying into the corner.

"Goooooooooooooooal! Wang Feng, who came off the bench, equalized for Inter Milan!"

"In the sixth minute after Wang Feng came on, he scored a goal for Inter Milan. Before that, for a full seventy-five minutes, the away team had gained nothing."

"Let's take a look at how Wang Feng dealt with this ball. He received Raimondi's cross and used the back of his foot to change the trajectory of the football, cleverly avoiding Jorge's clearance."

"It must be said that Wang Feng's ball-handling skills have reached an extraordinary level, coupled with his confident shot, this is a world-class striker!"

Celta Vigo's players didn't expect Wang Feng to score so quickly after coming on, then what was the point of their previous efforts? This blow was too much to bear.

But Wang Feng wasn't satisfied!

Just five minutes later, Ribery inserted from the back in the sideline with the ball, and Celta Vigo's defenders were all concentrated near the small penalty area, guarding against a low cross.

The Frenchman, however, forcefully lifted the ball to the far post, where Wang Feng outside the small penalty area stopped the ball with his chest, then volleyed with his left foot as the ball descended, once again piercing Celta Vigo's goal! 2-1! Inter Milan completed the comeback!

During injury time, Inter Milan played a long ball from midfield, and Darma chose to directly long pass to the penalty area. At the moment he passed, Wang Feng quickly started to chase the ball.

Entering the penalty area, defender Herbisen firmly grabbed his arm from behind, trying to stop Wang Feng from grabbing the ball, but he didn't fall to seek a penalty, instead, he struggled forward, leaping forward with great force.

And his forehead just hit the ball, heading towards the goal in a fish leap.

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooal!!" The commentator's goal call echoed throughout the entire broadcast room.

Wang Feng fell to the ground after heading the ball, and when he looked up and saw the ball passing the goalkeeper's right hand and falling into the goal, he suddenly bounced up like a carp, ran towards the stands where the fans were, and then knelt on the grass on the sidelines.

"Hat-trick! In just fifteen minutes after coming on, Wang Feng scored three consecutive goals against Celta Vigo, this is a true superstar!"
