Chapter 116 This guy is too difficult to deal with
"Damn it, why didn't the intelligence we gathered before the game mention that he had such a sharp pass?"
Udinese head coach Galleoni angrily roared at his assistant who was responsible for collecting intelligence.
The assistant was timid and didn't dare to speak, he also felt aggrieved!
This guy has never completed this kind of through pass before, where can he collect intelligence?
You can't ask me to predict the future, can you?
Losing the ball so early completely disrupted Udinese's tactics.
Falling behind at home, they were forced to increase their offensive efforts in the hope of equalizing the score as soon as possible.
But Inter Milan's defense was very solid and Udinese's attack did not achieve immediate results.
On the contrary, after their formation pressed forward, a lot of space appeared in the backcourt.
This gave Lin Feng a chance to perform!
In the 17th minute, Inter Milan completed a steal in their own half, and Cambiasso quickly passed the ball to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng dribbled the ball across half the court. After seeing his teammate on the wing running, he raised his foot and made a very long-distance pass.
The ball went through the crotch of Udinese defender Betoto, who felt a chill in his crotch and quickly clamped his legs together, trying to close the door.
But it was too late, the football had already rolled out from behind him.
Unfortunately, Figo didn't seem to see Lin Feng's gesture. When the ball was passed, he slowed down in advance because he was worried about offside.
When he saw Lin Feng's pass and started again, the opponent's defender was already in position.
Figo could only force his way inside and completed a long shot from the top of the arc.
His long shot hit the opponent's defender's leg and bounced back. Another Udinese defender, Sansini, took the lead and kicked the ball to his own midfielder. Cambiasso was worried that the opponent would launch a quick counterattack, so he was forced to foul and knock down the opponent.
The referee unceremoniously pulled out the yellow card and warned Cambiasso.
"mine!"
Figo raised his left hand and took the initiative to take responsibility.
It was originally a good ball, but because of his hesitation, not only did he waste a great counterattack opportunity, but he also caused his teammate to receive a yellow card.
Figo really didn't expect that Lin Feng could pass the ball so accurately under the defense of the opposing defender.
Passing the ball straight through the crotch from a very long distance, is this something a normal person can think of?
The opponent is not a wooden stake. He will not stand there and let you pierce his crotch.
This kind of long-distance pass must have a preparatory action of accumulating power before passing the ball. Seeing this, the opponent will definitely be very careful and will not give you any chance to penetrate the crotch.
So, how did Lin Feng do it?
Only the commentators and audiences who have a God's perspective can give the answer to this question.
"Lin Feng's through ball was very deceptive. He accelerated before sending the through ball, which made the Udinese defenders think that Lin Feng was going to eat them alive with his speed, so they could only passively speed up along with him.
But when he just accelerated, Lin Feng suddenly stopped, which not only created distance between him and him, but also gave him the opportunity to observe the movement of his teammates. Betoto, who had just overcome the inertia of rushing forward and had just stood firm, just then Lin Feng's through ball came.
In this situation, he had no time to respond effectively and could only let the other party penetrate his crotch. "
Tao Wei said with a smile:
"From this pass, we can see that Lin Feng is a very smart player. He doesn't just play football based on his talent, physical strength and speed, he also plays football based on his brain.
He took advantage of the opponent's thinking that he would use his speed to attack the opponent's back line after getting the ball, and caught the opponent by surprise. I think this also surprised many fans watching the game!"
Huang Jianxiang echoed: "Not to mention the fans, even I, a professional commentator who often explains Lin Feng's games, was fooled by him. No wonder the opponent's defenders fell for it. It's really that we all have formed a stereotype about Lin Feng!"
What is the stereotype of Lin Feng?
He is fast, has strong impact, and is good at using speed to tear through the opponent's defense in counterattacks.
The situation just now perfectly matched everyone's impression of him, which is why they were so surprised by his pass.
"Haha, it is foreseeable that it will be more difficult for Serie A's midfielders and defenders to restrict Lin Feng in the future!"
Udinese players are well aware of this.
You think he's going to dribble the ball, but he might pass it.
You think he might pass the ball, but he doesn't. If you are not careful, he will use his speed to tear through the defense.
Udinese players tried various methods, but none of them worked.
In the end, they were forced to take the most costly but most effective approach - fouling!
But fouls are also very dangerous, don’t forget that this guy is also very good at free kicks!
In the 21st minute, Candela fouled Lin Feng when defending him. He received a yellow card and also gave Inter Milan a free kick in the frontcourt.
Lin Feng took the penalty personally and took a high-quality free kick.
Udinese goalkeeper De Sanctis tried his best to lift the ball over the crossbar.
If the angle of the ball was a little more tricky, he would really be powerless.
Although Lin Feng's free kick did not go in, it still scared the Udinese players.
Next time you commit a foul, you have to think carefully about it.
If you don't pay attention to the location of the foul, you will almost give your opponent a good chance to score.
When facing a team with free kick experts, it will be difficult for defensive players.
I thought that as Mihajlovic got older, Inter Milan's free kick threat would be greatly reduced.
I didn't expect the other team to find such a free kick expert. What's worse is that this guy is still so young. If he stays in Inter Milan, other teams will probably live in fear of being dominated by his free kicks.
Although Udinese's situation is passive, it is not completely powerless to fight back.
In the 24th minute, Udinese intercepted the ball in the backcourt and made a long pass to Inter Milan's half, trying to open up the situation with a long pass.
The idea was good, but Inter Milan's defenders tacitly created an offside trap for the opponent's forward.
Udinese striker Acuna had just received the ball and before he had time to be happy, he saw the linesman raising the damn flag in his hand.
If long passes and lobs don’t work, can both wings fly together?
In the 29th minute, Philip made a diagonal pass into the penalty area from the left, but Ze Maria intercepted the ball.
Afterwards, Udinese tried again from the right side without giving up.
However, this time, the ball flying into the penalty area was cleared with a header by Cordoba, who was only meters tall.
Acuna, a tall center forward who is over 20 meters tall, was defeated by Cordoba, who is almost centimeters shorter than him, in the header competition in the penalty area.
Who would dare to believe such a thing if they didn't see it with their own eyes?
However, many people have not thought about one question.
Cordoba, who is only meters tall, can play as a central defender because of his special qualities.
If defending against high balls is really his weak link, then he should be a full-back instead of a center-back!
In fact, Cordoba has amazing jumping ability and can almost be called a spring man.
In Inter Milan's internal tests, Cordoba's vertical jump height can exceed 1 meter.
This data is far beyond the team average.
His vertical jump height is even higher than that of most NBA stars. Probably the only one who can surpass him is spring man Nate Robinson!
And Cordoba's strengths go far beyond that. He not only has super jumping ability, but his explosive power and reaction speed are also top-notch.
Therefore, when competing for the ball in the penalty area, he can always judge the landing point first and then jump first.
Although I am not as tall as you, I can always beat my opponent and get the ball in the first place with my super explosive power.
Everyone knows that he is short, but in all the years since he joined Inter Milan, the number of times he has been completely beaten by the opponent's center forward with headers because of his height can be counted on one hand.
Attempts from both flanks failed, which further discouraged the Udinese players.
The ball cannot be scored from the front, long passes are likely to fall into the offside trap, and the ball cannot be scored when flying from both wings.
Their several offensive methods all failed!
The key is that the opponent is still counterattacking, especially Inter Milan's number eight, who rushes forward and then stops and starts to make incredible passes, leaving Udinese's defensive players completely at a loss.
In the 39th minute, Lin Feng once again made a precise pass in the frontcourt, Cruz successfully made an offside move and broke into the penalty area to have a one-on-one opportunity.
This time, he did not waste the great opportunity Lin Feng created for him. Facing the goalkeeper's block, he calmly pushed the ball into the far corner, helping the team to change the score to 2:0.
After completing his self-redemption, Cruz ran to the away fans' stands, lifted up his jersey, revealing the tactical vest underneath with a line of words written on it: Sorry!
This guy hasn't forgotten the wasted one-on-one opportunity in the last game!
The fans in the stands applauded Cruz to show their attitude:
They never blamed Cruise for missing a one-on-one opportunity, so he didn't need to apologize.
"Come on, Cruz, you're the best!"
At this time, teammates also rushed up from all directions and gave Cruz a warm hug.
"How about some collective celebration?"
Seeing that almost all his teammates had arrived and everyone was in high spirits, Zanetti made a suggestion.
"Okay!"
"I'm OK!"
"I don't have any problem either!"
"Captain, what celebration should we use?"
"How about a passionate samba?"
"You want me, an Argentine, to dance the samba? Spare me!"
"You can't do the tango, right? It's so gay!"
It is indeed a bit inappropriate for a group of grown men to dance tango here.
When everyone was arguing and it was difficult to reach a consensus, Lin Feng suggested:
"For an occasion like this, it's only fitting to do a victory dance!"
When everyone heard this, they all thought it made sense, so they asked Lin Feng how to perform the victory dance.
This dance became very popular in short videos in later generations. Lin Feng had watched it many times, and naturally remembered it after watching it so many times.
So, following his demonstration, his teammates all jumped up and followed him.
The fans at the scene may just think that these guys' dance is crazy and joyful, but they don't know what they are dancing to.
But after seeing the Inter Milan team's dance, the domestic fans were all stunned:
"Oh no, my Nerazzurri has turned into the Axe Gang!"
That’s right, the dance that Lin Feng taught his teammates was the dance of the Axe Gang from Stephen Chow’s movie “Kung Fu” which was released just last year. It is also called the Axe Gang Victory Dance.
