"Chelsea's performance was much better than the previous match." Former Stamford Bridge king and Chelsea legend Osgood comments in the live broadcast room of British channel Sky Sports.
As special guest, he live-streamed the rally battle to audiences across the UK. In the second round of the UEFA Europa League round of 16, Chelsea faced Inter Milan.
In the last match, Chelsea was at a disadvantage, almost on the verge of being eliminated, so the whole team started this match very excited and launched a reckless attack under the cheers of the home fans. .
In the first 10 minutes of the match, Chelsea completely controlled the situation on the field. It was difficult for Inter Milan to organize an effective attack, the ball could not reach Wang Feng and Vieri.
On the other hand, for Chelsea, Gudjohnsen and Lampard made 2 high quality shots. If Toldo had not been very focused and fought hard to save, Inter Milan would have fallen apart.
This is the real power of last year's Champions League quarter-final!
At 15 minutes of the first half, Chelsea's attack was effective. Lampard crosses the penalty area from the right wing. Materazzi tried to clear the ball with his head but the ball flew too high. Once you reach the restricted area, click.
Gudjohnsen cushioned the ball smoothly under Zanetti's intervention and headed the ball wide of Inter Milan's goal.
Chelsea got the goal back! The moment the goal was scored, Stamford Bridge echoed with resounding applause. Lampard's stunning cross not only avoided Materazzi up front but also accurately found Gudjohnsen at the back post. There is also a noticeable decline ahead, so to speak, everything is still fine.
After scoring, the Icelandic player did not choose to celebrate but quickly rushed into Inter Milan's goal to get the ball and then ran towards the midfielder to finish. He knows that's not enough, he needs at least one more goal to have any hope of advancing!
.....
Vuong Phong breathed a sigh of relief. In the last 15 minutes of the match, he also actively participated in defense, running in a wide area but allowing his opponent to succeed beyond expectations. The match continued and in the 18th minute, Petit held the ball in the middle of the field, used a wrong move to pass to Gresco who was losing concentration, wanting to break through directly with the ball.
But at this time, Vuong Phong promptly caught up, used a slide to destroy the ball, and Petit also fell to the ground.
"Beep~" The referee's whistle sounded. He walked up to Wang Feng and pulled out a yellow card. Wang Feng and several other team members quickly surrounded the referee and explained that he had not touched Petit but only shoveled him. Ball but the referee insisted on his decision.
"Oh, Frenchman Aurelio Kusner, the referee on duty, gave Inter Milan's number 10 Vuong Phong a yellow card. Let's see what happened."
"From the slow motion video, we can see that Vuong Phong's foot touched the ball first. This should be a good defense. Osgood, what do you think?"
"I think this ball is in a series of ambiguities. You might think that Vuong Phong raised his foot too high when he caught the ball and committed a foul, or you might think that it was a good goal. Of course, now it's on Chelsea's turf. There are several penalty advantages. But I think the yellow card is completely unnecessary."
"According to data, this yellow card is the first yellow card that Vuong Phong has received since joining Inter Milan. The referee really shouldn't be so arbitrary."
Vuong Phong waved his hand helplessly. Everything on the field is really unpredictable. He told his teammates around him: "Don't worry, everyone, we are still ahead. This small drawback is nothing."
Seeing Vuong Phong's efforts, everyone couldn't help but feel a little scared. This season, Wang Feng time and again created miracles, helping the home team come back and win. Before they knew it, everyone seemed to be counting on him. Although he is not yet old, his leadership qualities are increasingly strong.
.....
Inter Milan's backline defense has gradually stabilized, and the attack wing has not improved much. Wang Feng often drops into the midfield to organize attacks. In the 30th minute, he moved down to the midfield again to receive the ball and then stepped forward to cushion the ball. Walk.
He escaped the entanglements of Cenden and Gallas with continuous individual passes and super fast speed, rushing straight to the first 30 meters of the penalty area. At this time, several other defenders also rushed to defend, and Vuong Phong was surrounded by four defenders.
At that time, Vieri had not entered the front yard yet. It was almost impossible for Wang Feng to protect the ball, then distribute it at the right time. The ball successfully landed in Vieri's path, but unfortunately his speed was slow. Some, the ball was destroyed early on by Melchiot, another Chelsea defender.
The first half of the match ended with a score of 0:1. Chelsea coach Ranieri encouraged the players: "Everyone, we are only one goal away from the goal of overthrowing Inter Milan and reaching the quarterfinals of the Europa League."
"We played very well in the first half, successfully suppressing Inter Milan's offensive momentum, but we must pay attention to Vuong Phong's defense. His breakthrough speed is too threatening."
Changing sides to continue playing, Inter Milan made substitution adjustments and Ronaldo replaced Consicao. Cooper clearly had no intention of attacking the defense because that would be too dangerous.
The connection between Ronnie and Wang Feng had another contribution. In the 60th minute, Inter Milan attacked. Di Biagio passed the ball into the penalty area and Ronaldo collected the ball on the left wing.
At this time, Chelsea defender Le Saux rushed forward, directly chose to tackle the ball and used his body to block Ronaldo's pass and shot, while Ronnie avoided the tackle by changing his legs and the goalkeeper was completely waiting. . , he crossed to the right
Vuong Phong plugged in the power.
Cudicini was surprised but it was too late to redeem himself. Wang Feng shot straight into an empty goal, and another defender Terry in front of the goal could not prevent the ball from entering the net.
1:1! Inter Milan equalized the score! The total score of the two halves was 4:2, with one away goal in each half, meaning Chelsea scored two goals to equalize and three goals to win.
"This ball really shouldn't!" Osgood said angrily in the live broadcast room, the old man's face red with anger: "How could Le Saux shovel so easily?"
"It's in the box. Even without committing a foul, thanks to Ronaldo's skills, he can easily avoid your tackle in hundreds of ways. If he falls to the ground and is not caught in time, he will not be able to get up immediately, causing serious damage. No place."
"The correct approach to this ball is to keep a certain distance from Ronaldo, then focus on defending a breakthrough or shooting on goal. In fact, there is very little space for Ronaldo to operate."
"Le Saux is also a Chelsea veteran, how could he make a mistake here?" » Osgood said while tapping the table.
Although unfortunate, the goal cannot be reversed. In the following matches, both teams' scores remained unchanged until the 87th minute, when Chelsea scored from Lampard's direct free kick.
This goal saved some face for Chelsea at home. They were eventually eliminated by Inter Milan with a score of 3:4 after two rounds!
Inter Milan, after completing half a month of the devil's competition system, finally returned to Milan. The club gave everyone 3 days off and then trained together to prepare for the next round of the championship this weekend.
Although very tired, everyone at Inter Milan was very happy. They defeated AC Milan and Juventus respectively, rose to the top of the group, then eliminated Premier League powerhouse Chelsea to advance to the quarterfinals of the Europa League. It can be said that they won a lot.
Ronaldo and Vieri, nightclub kings, of course cannot miss this rare vacation. Together with Recoba and Consicao, they planned to go to a nightclub to have fun.
They originally intended to drag "Vuong Phong" into the water, but Vuong Phong firmly refused and gave a very legitimate reason: "I want to learn to drive." As you know, I have never had a driver's license so I want to take this opportunity to study well."
In fact, Vuong Phong really intends to get this necessary certificate as soon as possible. Public transportation is very inconvenient in most places in Europe. If he cannot drive himself, it will bring him a lot of trouble.
Another important thing is that after signing a sponsorship contract with Volkswagen Group last time, they generously gave Wang Feng a new Lamborghini car.
This car has not yet begun mass production and was only introduced at the 2001 Frankfurt International Motor Show, so Wang Feng is one of the few people to own it. Yellow paint throughout the body, sturdy lines and iconic scissor doors make this car exceptionally attractive. To be honest, Vuong Phong was very greedy when he got it. Unfortunately, he didn't have a driver's license so he left it in the garage. in a few months.
Italian driving licenses allow individuals to apply. Just prepare a variety of documents, including various identification documents, health certificates, etc. Originally Balmond could help him with these things, but recently he has been too busy. There were too many endorsement contracts and work related to Vuong Phong that needed to be resolved, Vuong Phong did not bother him and took a day to resolve it himself.
After completing all of this, Vuong Phong only needs to submit the application and then wait a month to schedule the exam. Regarding learning to drive a car, his progress has exceeded his imagination. Because Wang Feng discovered that his keen senses could also be used for driving, and he always came up with the best operating method for different situations, which made drivers old people who learned to drive were amazed.
"Wang, is this really your first time driving? I look at you in action like I'm watching a racer." » coach Chadwick Belmont announced.
Belmonte is an Inter Milan fan, of course a loyal fan of Vuong Phong. When he learned that Vuong Phong had come to study in his name, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several nights. When he saw Vuong Phong, he took a group photo and signed autographs.
Of course, Vuong Phong would not disappoint this loyal fan's wishes, the two understood each other very well after only half a day. When teaching Vuong Phong, Belmont discovered that his skills were very good, so he felt the above emotions.
Vuong Phong didn't know how to describe his adventurous talent. He could only smile and say: "Maybe one day I won't play football. Being a racer is also a good choice."
"I'm afraid it will take many years, you're only eighteen. I think you can play for at least another 20 years," Belmonte said.
"With your kind words, I hope everything goes well, haha."
.....
Returning to the training camp after the holiday, the players' physical strength is still not as good as expected in the eyes of the technical team, especially the nightclub team. Dark circles were clearly visible and their tired expressions showed how frantically they were playing.
Even Wang Feng's condition right now is not ideal, as he spends almost all his time learning to drive and usually only does some recovery exercises. After everyone stayed in Pinettina, they started a closed training camp, preparing for round 27 of Serie A this weekend and playing Lecce at home.
On the day of the match, Wang Feng was not on the starting list but sat on the bench. In addition, Cooper rotated many other main actors, and the nightclub quartet did not make the big list.
Fontana, Solondo, Seedorf, Ventola and other substitutes were on the field from the start, with Ventola's performance being the most notable. This 24-year-old player was the future light of Inter Milan. Unfortunately, with the arrival of Vieri, the rise of Recoba and the arrival of Wang Feng this season, the Inter Milan striker has long lost his place. He's only played twice so far and it's time to play again.
Ventola scored 2 goals in this match and was voted the best player of the match. Lecce only scored one goal in the last minute and Inter Milan defeated their opponent with a score of 2:1.
There was nothing to say about the match, but after the match, Ventola officially sent a transfer request to the club: "I want to go to Crystal Palace of the Premier League, and they intend to introduce me." The Italian standing in front of Moratti was a little worried, but also a little relieved. Moratti was a bit stunned when he looked at this handsome player. The once brave genius Barry has grown up, but how many young geniuses have been buried by the cruel Serie A.
Like Adriano, loaned to Fiorentina from Inter Milan earlier this year, he is also a Brazilian genius, but we did not give him a chance because he had no place in the team.
Adriano arrived at Fiorentina and had an explosive performance. He has contributed 5 goals so far but still cannot stop the team's losing streak. Fiorentina is sinking deeper and deeper into the relegation quagmire.
If they are eventually relegated, who will remember the contributions and achievements of this Brazilian genius?
What if we work hard?
The brutality of major European championships goes beyond fans' imagination. UU reads www.uukanshu. com
Moratti withdrew his dissenting thoughts and said in a low voice: "If you want to go, I will not stop you. Inter Milan Club will never become an obstacle to the transfer of players."
"But if things don't go well, go back to Italy, it doesn't matter if you start in Serie B."
Ventola nodded and smiled and said: "Mr. Moratti, don't worry, football is my favorite profession. Maybe I can't be as brilliant as Ronaldo and Vuong Phong, but as long as I 'There is a club that needs me.', I will definitely never give up."
.....
Inter Milan's opponent in the quarterfinals of the Europa League will be AC Milan, the team that eliminated Hertha Berlin.
Gazzetta dello Sport wrote: "In the National Championship, Inter Milan defeated AC Milan twice, leading to the resignation of former head coach Trim. The question is whether new coach Ancelotti can successfully lead the team. Defeat this match or not. Inter Milan's counterattack will be the key to this. The biggest highlight of this round of the series.
When new official Ancelotti was interviewed, he did not dare to say anything big: "As we all know, Inter Milan has the best striker in Serie A. That will be a big challenge for us."
