Chapter 44: The decisive blow for Juventus!
Nedved on the side saw it very clearly. When Vieira turned around to get rid of Lin Feng, the opponent was not left behind by him. Instead, he took advantage of the blind spot of his vision after turning around and suddenly appeared on the other side of Vieira.
The latter was intercepted before he could react.
This wave can only be attributed to Vieira being too careless and underestimating his opponent.
You actually want to use the same trick to play tricks on the other person. Do you really think the other person is a fool?
Nedved thought so in his heart, but his feet did not slow down at all.
Just as Lin Feng got the ball and prepared to sprint, Nedved rushed over from the side, wanting to support his teammate in defense.
But after getting the ball, Lin Feng chose to accelerate and sprint.
Facing Nedved rushing from the side and rear, Lin Feng only used acceleration to avoid Nedved's pressing.
Nedved did not give up and continued to chase after him.
He hoped that his teammates in front could block Lin Feng a little, giving him a chance to chase and defend.
But facing Emerson who was rushing towards him, Lin Feng rushed forward and used unreasonable speed to eat his opponent alive.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Brazilian was about to commit a foul, but unexpectedly the opponent was prepared and pushed the ball to the outside, instantly away from his physical contact range.
Now, Emerson could only sigh in despair, as he didn't even have the chance to commit a foul.
Emerson, who was outpaced by Lin Feng's speed, had subconsciously slowed down. He felt that the opponent was too fast and he had no chance of catching up with him.
But just when he gave up, a figure flashed by, and Emerson looked closely and saw that it was his teammate Nedved.
Nedved hasn't given up yet. He has been chasing for almost thirty meters, almost from the opponent's half to his own penalty area, and he is still chasing!
The 33-year-old Czech is still as motivated as he was when he was younger, and never gives up easily.
At this time, Lin Feng no longer cared about Nedved who was chasing him closely behind him, because he was almost reaching the opponent's penalty area.
But before that, he needs to get past the two iron gates of Juventus's defense - the interception of Cannavaro and Thuram!
These two are the top defenders in football of this era.
Any striker will find it difficult to face them.
The two had clear division of labor, Thuram intercepted head-on, Cannavaro assisted on the side and blocked Lin Feng's passing route at the same time.
Perhaps because of Lin Feng’s reminder in the previous game, Inter Milan’s striker Adriano ran very hard in this counterattack.
Just when Lin Feng broke into the front of the penalty area, he had already arrived at the opponent's penalty area.
At this time, the situation on the field was two against two, and the two sides were fighting fairly.
But the experienced Thuram and Cannavaro cooperated very well. They consciously cut off the connection between Lin Feng and Andriano, making it impossible for them to cooperate with each other.
In this way, the only person they have to deal with is Lin Feng.
Lin Feng knew the opponent's intention clearly, so he did not shoot or pass the ball hastily.
Because by doing so, there is a high probability that it will be destroyed or intercepted by the other party.
There is very little time left in the game. We have waited for so long for this opportunity. If we miss it, the outcome of this game will only depend on luck in a penalty shootout.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng took the initiative to dribble the ball towards the bottom line of the penalty area.
Thuram stared at him all the way, not daring to relax at all. Seeing Lin Feng's choice, Juventus coach Capello breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Feng's choice widened the distance between him and Adriano.
Moreover, he was getting closer and closer to the baseline, which made his shooting angle smaller and smaller.
With Thuram's frontal blocking ability and Buffon's saving ability, no one can break Juventus' goal from this angle.
"Ouch, this ball choice is a bit irrational!"
"Thuram's frontal defensive ability is too strong, Lin Feng can't get through at all!
"The space left for him to sprint is too small, otherwise he could have easily used his speed to overwhelm his opponent!"
The domestic fans who stayed up late to watch the game saw that Lin Feng was about to bring the ball into a dead end, and they all sighed and felt sorry for Inter Milan for wasting such a good opportunity.
In the stands, even Juventus fans breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Lin Feng's choice.
"This Chinese kid that Inter Milan bought for 2000 million doesn't look that good?"
"He is indeed a player who was trained in a football desert. His level can only play in Serie B, right?"
"I really don't know what's wrong with Inter Milan's boss, he is willing to spend 2000 million to buy such a fake.
Juventus fans mocked Lin Feng to the utmost. They already looked at people with tinted glasses, and now their impression of Lin Feng became even worse.
But the next second, they couldn't laugh anymore!
Seeing that Lin Feng was about to rush to the end line with the ball, Inter Milan's counterattack would be completely blocked.
However, when Lin Feng was dribbling the ball to the baseline, he suddenly stopped, raised his right foot and pretended to dunk and break through Thuram's left side.
Seeing that the opponent's center of gravity had shifted, Thuram did not doubt it and quickly adjusted his own center of gravity, leaning to the left.
Lin Feng was waiting for this fleeting opportunity. Taking advantage of Thuram's body leaning to the left, he observed Adriano's position, then suddenly cut the ball with his left foot, letting the ball bounce off the ground.
He leaned forward and bent over, as if he was about to make a big leap to the top.
Thuram's body center of gravity had just shifted, and even though he saw Lin Feng's actions, he was powerless to do anything.
Buffon was shocked. He didn't expect that the opponent could still create space for shooting even after reaching this point.
He quickly moved towards the right side of the goal.
However, just when Buffon and all the fans at the scene thought that Lin Feng was going to shoot himself, he suddenly changed his shot to a pass, shook his head hard, and passed the ball to the center of the penalty area.
Obviously, neither Cannavaro nor Adriano expected Lin Feng to complete the cross in this way, and both were a little caught off guard.
The two reacted almost at the same time, both wanting to compete for this landing point.
At this time, Cannavaro's weaknesses of not being tall enough and not being heavy enough were exposed.
In front of Adriano, who is 189cm tall and weighs 95kg, Cannavaro can't get any position at all.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of fans, Adriano grabbed the ball and rubbed it hard, sending the ball to the left side of the goal.
In order to block Lin Feng's shot, Buffon had already stood very far to the right. When he saw Adriano shooting to the left, even if he was the reincarnation of Bolt, it was too late for him to rescue him.
With a crisp sound!
The ball hit the inside side of the net and flew into the Juventus goal.
Inter Milan defeated Juventus in the final moments of the game!
