In round 2 of Serie A, Inter Milan challenged newly promoted Siena away from home.
Because they have to play twice as long every week, they will meet Ajax in the first round of the Champions League group stage 3 days later. Mancini rotated many key players in this match. Players like Koko, Caron and Martins have earned the opportunity to play.
It can be seen that Siena is still pursuing a certain goal which is the tournament results. Facing the defending champions, they took the lead thanks to creating many opportunities from the start. Block more.
However, many players in Inter Milan's rotation clearly have not yet found their place. They didn't start well and were a bit passive on stage. It wasn't until the 15th minute that they had a very dangerous opportunity. Ramucci made a cross from the left wing, Calon advanced to attack the goal but was blocked by the Siena goalkeeper.
After that, Inter Milan gradually gained a foothold. Zanetti and Ramucci are always in the center position and at the top of the Serie A table. They help the team firmly take the initiative in the game and control the pace of attack and defense. Siena fell into a disadvantageous position and launched a defensive counterattack. Siena coach Jamal Bennink knows very well that his team cannot compete with Inter Milan. The brutal attack from the start was all about taking advantage of Inter Milan's lack of concentration and fishing in troubled waters until they recovered. , you can't attack strongly anymore, otherwise you will die miserably.
The game was under Inter Milan's control but they still could not launch a threatening attack. This midfielder's proactive form is often ruined by players in the first area. The score of 0:0 made Inter Milan fans from afar sweat. If they draw with a newly promoted horse it will be a surprise.
The first half of the match ended in a draw, and away team fans in the stands became agitated. As Wang Feng walked from the bench to the players' tunnel, many people shouted his name and some shouted for him to play.
Wang Feng was also very nervous when going on the field. Inter Milan often waste great opportunities but they will not go against their head coach's wishes. If the team's top star and the new coach have a disagreement, it will greatly affect the harmony in the dressing room, so given Mancini's tactical arrangements, he tries not to express different opinions.
.....
In the second half, Mancini still had no intention of replacing Vuong Phong. He believes that Siena is a weak team and it is reasonable for Inter Milan to field a reserve squad. Shoot it. Although Wang Feng's physical condition is very good and there is almost no precedent for serious injuries, Mancini is still very careful and will try his best to let him rest in multi-line battles.
But recently, Inter Milan has not been able to force Siena's door. The fans kept screaming and sighing. Watching the players miss the opportunity to scratch their heads in frustration, they felt bitter and disappointed.
Mancini finally couldn't take it anymore. In the 70th minute, Wang Feng came off the bench to warm up. As soon as he stood up, the Siena fans at home immediately booed until it was heartbreaking. They all know what Vuong Phong looks like. threat.
Inter Milan fans stood up one after another to cheer and applaud Vuong Phong. Although there weren't many of them, their voices could pass through the booing to Vuong Phong's ears, so Vuong Phong happily welcomed this group of people.
"Boos across the sky are the highest praise for Vuong Phong!" Sky Italy TV commentator Flix said: "In just two seasons, he has completely changed the landscape of Serie A and led Inter Milan on the road to rebirth."
"Now, with 20 minutes left in the game, can he still knock on the Nerazzurri's door?"
Mancini replaced Caron with Vuong Phong. He gently hugged the Sierra Leone striker on the sideline, encouraged him, then quickly ran onto the field and to his position.
Siena coach Bennink commanded the players' defense on the field with a worried expression, asking them to keep a close eye on Wang Feng. It had been a draw for too long and he didn't want the points he had to be lost.
Everyone knows that as long as Vuong Phong has a chance, he can grasp it and convert it into a goal. If he had been present in the first half, Inter Milan could have taken advantage of at least a few goals.
The first time Vuong Phong touched the ball after entering the field, he created a great opportunity. Zanetti makes a deep pass in the middle of the field. He then rotated with Cruyff to take out the wing defense and then crossed the box. Unfortunately, Martins scored an unblocked goal that went wide of the post. If Vieri plays this ball, he will definitely score.
Vuong Phong still gave a thumbs up to encourage this young player. He has few opportunities to play, it's normal to be a little worried, don't be too harsh. Martins smiled gratefully at Wang Feng, then quickly ran towards his other half. As the core of a team, few people are as kind and generous as Vuong Phong. That is also the key to maintaining harmony in the Inter Milan dressing room.
Immediately afterwards, Inter Milan returned, still attacking from the right wing. Luciano advanced to the 30m area and passed the ball to Ramucci on the right wing. Ramucci's speed was not too fast, it was difficult to penetrate the defense and pass the ball, so he had to fight back against Vuong Phong who was coming to pick him up.
For his part, Wang Feng overtook defender Cufrey who was using a fake shoulder block in front of him and prepared to attack the penalty area. In desperation, Cufrey had to run from behind.
The referee's whistle finally sounded and Inter Milan were awarded a direct free kick. In the past two matches, Vuong Phong very keenly noticed that the referee's punishment for them was somewhat too harsh. As long as Inter Milan players make small movements, the referee will definitely punish them severely, their opponents will only whistle unless there is a very obvious foul like now, and they will escape. from farce. time.
Is the bias due to not wanting Inter Milan to dominate? Vuong Phong shook his head, football must rely on strength.
The free kick just happened to the right of the penalty area, about 25 meters from the goal. It was originally out of his reach because the angle was too wide, but Vuong Phong still wanted to try. Whistle~www.mtlnovel.com~ momentum, achieve goals!
The ball flew high, fell over the wall and fell into the net from the top left corner of the goal!
"Vuong Phong's free kick went directly into the goal! The ball went in! goooooooooooooooal!"
"At the end of the match, Vuong Phong finally broke the deadlock for Inter Milan. Very beautiful free kick, from a small angle on the wing and hit the goal, turned out to be a dropped ball!"
The Inter Milan fans in the stands immediately exploded. Their emotions that had been suppressed all night were completely released. Everyone left their seats, rushed to the front row and shouted Vuong Phong's name. Bennink shook his head in frustration, the points he scored were no longer there and the road to relegation this season was certainly bumpy.
Inter Milan defeated Siena 1:0 and won two consecutive victories!
