Football: Starting from the 05 World Youth Championship

Chapter 343 Lin Feng who plays football with his brain
This focus battle has attracted widespread attention from the outside world, and almost the entire Serie A's attention is focused on the Meazza Stadium.

The huge Meazza Stadium was packed to the brim, and the big screen on site announced the number of spectators attending the game - 79650!
As the players from both teams entered the stadium, a huge TIFO slowly unfolded on the north stand where Inter Milan's diehard fans gathered.

The tifo shows a blue and black warrior trampling a red wolf under his feet.

Without much explanation, fans can easily associate the Nerazzurri Warriors with Inter Milan, while the Giallorossi represent Roma.

This is a declaration of war to Roma, aiming to crush them at home!
After seeing this tifo, the Inter Milan players who entered the stadium couldn't help but smile at each other.

However, the faces of the Roma players next to them turned ugly.

The only exception is probably Inter Milan’s former player Adriano!

The problem he was most worried about before the game did not happen. When he stepped into the familiar stadium of Meazza again, he was greeted not by a barrage of abuse and boos, but by warm applause and cordial greetings from countless fans.

Even though Ade is now wearing the opponent's jersey, Inter Milan fans are still enthusiastic about him.

Over the past few seasons, fans have seen Ade's contribution to the team.

These contributions will not disappear just because he changed teams, and Adriano did not betray the team. His departure was a peaceful parting out of helplessness.

He doesn't owe the team anything. On the contrary, his contribution to the team deserves to be remembered forever by the fans.

Without him, Inter Milan might not have been able to reverse Juventus last year and win the long-awaited league title.

Adriano was also deeply moved by the fans' kindness.

When entering the stadium, he leaned over and kissed the grass of the Meazza Stadium to express his feelings.

This action unsurprisingly provoked an even more enthusiastic response from Inter Milan fans, but Roma head coach Spalletti's face was as black as an iron pot.

In such an important game, instead of concentrating and accumulating your anger to fight the opponent to the end, you put on a sentimental drama here. Is that right?

Fortunately, the game was about to begin, and his attention was quickly diverted, so he didn't dwell too much on this matter.

Although Roma was on the front foot, Inter Milan, playing at home, were not afraid at all.

From the moment the referee blew the whistle to start the game, the game entered Inter Milan's offensive round.

In the second minute of the game, Inter Milan's quick attack hit Roma's penalty area.

After cutting inside, Lin Feng did not choose to pass the ball in front of the goal. Instead, he dribbled past the defensive player next to him and passed the ball to the back of the penalty area.

Torres understood the hint and started quickly to receive the ball in an open space, but unfortunately his volley hit the crossbar.

The ball bounced back and landed outside the penalty area and was caught by Inter midfielder Stankovic, but the latter's shot went wide of the near post.

These two shots made the defensive players in the Roma penalty area break out in a cold sweat, especially Torres' previous shot, if it had been a little bit lower, it would probably have been a goal.

Although the final shot was made by Torres, the two CCTV commentators talked more about the role played by Lin Feng in the attack just now.

Zhang Lu: "Don't think that Lin Feng just made a simple pass, which seems to be nothing special, but this ball is not something that everyone can pass!"

Zhan Jun nodded seriously, said "yes" and waited for the next step.

Zhang Lu, who is known as the emperor of football, began to explain in detail to the fans:
"Just now, Lin Feng was advancing with the ball on the right side. There were only three players on Roma's back line. The closest to him was Roma's full-back Chivu, who was seven or eight meters away from him.

This means that there is a large area of ​​space in front of Lin Feng. If it were an ordinary player, he might choose to cross the ball from the bottom. "

Zhan Jun interrupted at the right time: "Coach Zhang, isn't it wrong to cross the ball from the bottom?"

Zhang Lu shook her head. "It's not wrong, but the success rate of a cross from the bottom is not high. And if the opponent is on guard, the forward participating in the attack will be easily completely targeted. Then such a pass is equivalent to handing the ball to the opponent."

Zhan Jun nodded and stopped talking, while Zhang Lu continued to explain:
“Let’s replay it in slow motion and see how Lin Feng handled it.

He did not choose to dribble the ball to the bottom line, but chose to cut inside.

The advantage of doing this is that it forces Zidane to move closer to him and give up defending others.

You see, after Chivu moved to the right, Roma's central defender Mexes had to move deep into the penalty area to prevent Lin Feng from passing the ball to the back point.

As soon as he left, the middle of the penalty area, which is the top of the arc, was empty. Although Panucci followed Cruz who was making a forward run, he missed Torres who he should have defended.

Pay attention, at this time Lin Feng made a gesture to Torres. I guess this gesture means passing the ball to the back point, so Torres, who was originally running towards the middle of the penalty area, suddenly stopped and went to the left side of the penalty area instead.

After making this gesture, Lin Feng began to try to pass Zivo in front of him.

This move attracted the attention of the two Roma midfielders, De Rossi and Pizarro, who were returning to defense, and also moved their positions to the right flank area, giving the Inter players in the middle the opportunity to attack from behind.

Although Lin Feng didn't pass the ball to the middle in the end, at that moment, he had many options, and Roma was actually not easy to defend! "

Zhang Lu paused for a moment and continued:
“But these are not the main points. The main point is what Lin Feng will do next.

Seeing his teammates coming, Zivo decided to take the initiative to steal the ball, but Lin Feng suddenly took advantage of the change in rhythm to pass him, and then dribbled the ball towards the small penalty area.

At this time, the goalkeeper of the Roma team had come to the right side of the goal, guarding against Lin Feng's possible shot.

Lin Feng now has two choices. One is to shoot by himself, but because the shooting angle is not large and the goalkeeper is prepared, the probability of scoring the goal is not high.

The second is to pass the ball horizontally to the middle and give it to teammates in the middle to complete the shot.

But after Lin Feng passed Chivu, Roma's right-back Panucci and center-back Mexez took quick action, surrounding Cruz from the front and back.

In addition, Max had already retreated on his own initiative before, and he had an advantage in position at this time. If Lin Feng passed the ball like this, he would most likely be intercepted by him in advance.

When faced with this choice, most players will only choose between these two options.

But Lin Feng chose the third option. He passed the ball to the back post where no one was guarding it, and it landed at Torres' feet.

Unfortunately, Chivu's final tackle slightly touched Lin Feng, causing the ball to bounce on the ground. Torres was unable to stop the ball and shoot, so he could only volley, and the ball hit the crossbar.

If it wasn't for Chivu's touch, and if Torres could stop for a moment before shooting after receiving the ball, this goal would have been possible! ”

After listening to Zhang Lu's analysis, everyone suddenly realized.

It turns out that this 'simple' attack just now actually had so many tricks. If Zhang Lu hadn't helped them analyze it, they really wouldn't have been able to see it.

It is true that laymen watch the excitement while experts see the details!
“This also reflects that Lin Feng relies on his brain when playing football, observing and thinking at the same time, and then making the most reasonable and correct decision.

This may be the reason why Lin Feng has been performing better and better on the court in the past two seasons! "He has been improving!"

……

Naturally, Lin Feng on the court could not hear Zhang Lu’s commentary.

Inter Milan was in very good form today and their shots at the start were very threatening.

This put Roma's goal under considerable test, but Roma's luck was really good today.

Apart from Torres' shot that hit the crossbar, Inter's subsequent shots were either saved by the defenders on the goal line or misjudged as offside by the referee, who disallowed the goal that had already been scored.

There is no VAR to watch replays these days, otherwise Inter Milan would have to appeal.

Although Inter Milan's luck was not very good, the initiative of the game was still firmly in their hands.

In the first 10 minutes of the game, Roma was suppressed and couldn't even get out of the half court. Their slogan of "capture Meazza" before the game almost became a laughing stock.

By hiding in their own half and not attacking, are they trying to tire Inter Milan players to death and then get three points?
However, despite Inter Milan's strong suppression, they were ultimately unable to stop Roma's attack.

The first ones to sound the clarion call for Roma's counterattack were actually two former Inter Milan players.

In the 12th minute, Inter Milan's former player Pizarro launched an attack. Mancini Jr. broke away by bicycle on the left side of the penalty area and his shot from a small angle missed the far post.

Then another former Inter Milan player, Adriano, took advantage of a counterattack opportunity and once again demonstrated his amazing speed at the Meazza Stadium.

It's a pity that the old captain Zanetti and Materazzi jointly blocked it, making Ade's attack fail.

Seeing Roma start to counterattack, neutral fans began to cheer.

When they saw Inter Milan besieging Roma's goal in the first ten minutes, they were very worried, fearing that Roma would be defeated by Inter Milan's offensive.

Both teams love offense, and every time they meet, it will be a goal-scoring battle.

Not to mention the exaggerated 5:3 in the Italian Super Cup, Inter Milan also defeated Roma 4:1 in the first round of the league.

Although the number of goals is not as many as in the Super Cup, scoring 5 goals in a game is also terrifying.

Now seeing the two teams entering the familiar offensive and defensive phase again, the fans can't help but start looking forward to it.

In the 19th minute, Inter Milan intercepted the ball in the frontcourt and launched a counterattack. Cruz's shot was saved by Doni. Stankovic, a young expert in making a supplementary shot, rushed forward to try to pick up the ball, but unexpectedly he failed to pick it up and broke his new sneakers instead.

Roma's No. 21 Ferrari accidentally stepped on his shoes during the fight. After the sharp-eyed referee found out, he "punished" Stankovic from the field on the grounds of incomplete equipment.

Stankovic had to go out cursing and find new shoes.

Seeing that the opponent was one man short, Roma seized the opportunity and launched a fierce attack.

De Rossi made a long pass to Totti in the penalty area, but before Totti could shoot, Cesar blocked the ball.

At this time, Stankovic had found his shoes and came to the sidelines to change them.

Just as he was changing his shoes, Roma launched another attack.

In the 21st minute, Williamson broke into the penalty area on the right side and made a low pass in front of the goal. Inter Milan's left-back Grosso was quick-eyed and quick-footed, and he kicked the ball out of the bottom line, giving Roma a corner kick.

Just at this time, Stankovic had also changed his sneakers, so he applied for admission.

The referee glanced at him and waved him in.

Before the Serbian players ran into the penalty area, Roma had already taken a corner kick.

The first point of the ball was controlled by Materazzi, but after it landed, it returned to Mancini's feet.

But the penalty area was packed with people, and Mancini didn't have time to pass the ball before it was poked away by someone's foot.

The ball happened to appear in front of Stankovic, and without any preparation, Stankovic got the ball.

Seeing Stankovic's position, the Roma players realized the danger and Mexes rushed towards Stankovic, trying to prevent him from passing the ball.

But it's too late!
Stankovic reacted and made an extremely correct choice - a long pass to find his teammates!

Torres and Lin Feng accelerated forward almost at the same time, one on the left and the other in the middle.

Although Torres has strong explosive power, his speed is already very fast among centers.

But compared to Lin Feng who was sprinting at full speed, he was still slightly inferior.

The two were originally running side by side, but as they ran, Torres found that Lin Feng had unknowingly run ahead of him.

But this is not a bad thing for Torres.

Originally, Roma's right-back Panucci didn't know which one to defend. But now, Lin Feng runs so fast, so he is naturally a greater threat, so Panucci made his choice instantly.

Stankovic's ball was indeed aimed at Lin Feng. Between Torres and Lin Feng, he was obviously more willing to trust Lin Feng.

Although Lin Feng and Stankovic are in direct competition within the Inter Milan team, the more so, the more Stankovic is aware of Lin Feng's strength.

Seeing that the ball was about to fall, Panucci used all his strength to try to interfere with Lin Feng's fight for the landing point.

But the height difference between the two is very obvious. Lin Feng is 1.86 meters tall, while Panucci is only 1.8 meters tall.

The height difference made Panucci's efforts all in vain and did not affect Lin Feng's passing the ball to Torres on the side.

It really proves the saying that it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.

Torres had just caught up when Lin Feng passed the ball.

Moreover, the player who was originally supposed to defend him was also led away by Lin Feng.

So from the moment Torres received the ball, he was already alone.

Torres likes this feeling of being alone the most, as if the whole world is at his feet, waiting for him to conquer.

He did not waste the assist from Lin Feng. After dribbling into the penalty area at high speed, he faced the goalkeeper who came out and calmly shot the ball into the far corner. With a flick of his hand, he defeated his opponent!
The score became 1:0!
