The King of World Football Chapter 268: He Didn't Lose
Returning to Milan from Villarreal, the Nerazzurri ushered in the 33rd round of Serie A against Ascoli, and there will be a Coppa Italia match three days later, so all the main players were placed on the bench.
Wang Feng originally thought that if the team failed to open up the situation, he would come off the bench. Unexpectedly, the players were very good. Forwards Cruz and Martins scored the goals of the visiting team one after another. Inter Milan defeated the opponent 2:0.
On the evening of April 11th, Udinese Friuli Stadium, the second round of the Coppa Italia semi-finals, Inter Milan faced Udinese, the score of the first round was 2:2, Udinese scored two away goals The ball, so they have the advantage.
Another group of cup semi-finals is the competition between Roma and Lazio. Among the four teams, Inter Milan has the strongest overall strength. Therefore, although the Coppa Italia is not in the team's plan at the beginning of the season, as long as it does not affect the Champions League competition, then It can also be won.
After the start of the game, Udinese's tactics were very simple. They insisted on implementing the defensive counterattack strategy to the end. Even if they missed a goal, they could not let Inter Milan score. In this way, they can still advance by virtue of their advantages.
This strategy did allow them to defend against Inter Milan's attack in the first half. The Nerazzurri's possession rate of nearly 70% was only 7 shots, and the score remained at 0:0.
Changing sides to fight again, the activeness of Inter Milan's striker, especially Wang Feng's active running, and the inevitable distraction of Udinese's defensive players, let them show a little flaw.
In the 63rd minute, Zanetti made a long pass from the midfielder to find Pizarro on the left side. The latter then took the ball straight to the left side of the penalty area, attracting the defense all the way to the bottom line, then suddenly stepped on the ball and turned around, sending an inverted triangle back pass.
Wang Feng, who followed up to respond, faced the ball and shot straight away, hitting a near corner of the goal. The nearby defensive players had no time to block it. Although the goalkeeper De Sanctis fell to the ground to save, the ball still rubbed against the inside of the post and entered the net.
1:0! Inter Milan successfully overtook the total score!
The moment the goal was scored, Udinese head coach Sannetti held his head in both hands, showing a very annoyed expression, but the goal was scored by Inter Milan!
Wouldn't the effect be better if I hadn't been so conservative, but played as firmly as in the first round?
Sannetti has no confidence in his heart. The two-round competition system is really unfriendly to a small team like them that occasionally upsets!
Now that they are behind, it will be useless for Udinese to continue to defend. Sannetti replaced two offensive teams one after another, intending to give it a go, but once their defense is opened, it means that it is estimated that Milan's offense will become even stronger. easy.
In the 77th minute, Wang Feng hit the wall with Franck Ribery on the right side to form a two-for-one. When receiving the ball in the penalty area, Wang Feng did not encounter the same tight wall as in the first half, so it was easy to pick the pass. Adri Jarno slapped the horse and rushed to score the goal with a header, sealing the victory for the team!
The total score of the two rounds was 4:2. Inter Milan eliminated Udinese and entered the Coppa Italia final.

Therefore, whether it was on or off the field, the atmosphere seemed very harmonious. AC Milan, who played the main force in the game, had an absolute advantage. Inter Milan retreated across the board.
It was not until the 31st minute that AC Milan opened the scoring with Kaka. In the 55th minute of the second half, Kaka assisted Inzaghi to expand the score. Five minutes later, Kaka swayed into the penalty area and scored twice in one fell swoop. .
Seeing that the team was gradually collapsing, Mancini replaced Wang Feng in the 70th minute to strengthen the attack. The effect was immediate. The Rossoneri had to divide their defenses. The offensive momentum was hindered and the rhythm of the game gradually slowed down.
In the 85th minute, Inter Milan launched a counterattack. Emre retreated from the midfield to catch the ball and then turned around and sent a through ball to penetrate the defense line. Wang Feng quickly started to go forward and caught up with the ball in the area 30 meters in front of the penalty area.
Facing the defense of Maldini and Cafu, he kept the ball firmly under his feet while slowly approaching the penalty area. Just when Cafu felt that he could no longer retreat and resolutely stepped forward to press, Wang Feng suddenly threw the ball to the right Take a sudden trip.
After dodging Cafu's feet, he kicked a long-range shot with lightning speed at the front of the penalty area. The ball made a crescent arc in the air and turned into the upper left corner of AC Milan's goal.
