Chapter 86 CCTV reporter's shock
Although this was not a Champions League match, more than 6 fans still flocked to the Meazza Stadium on the day of the game.
This shocked the CCTV reporters who came to the scene to report on the game.
In China, even at the most lively venues such as the Workers' Stadium and the 4-seat Shanghai Stadium, it is difficult for the number of spectators for a single game to exceed .
Moreover, as the performance of the Chinese national football team continues to deteriorate, the market for the Chinese Super League has been visibly declining.
This season, the match between Beijing Guoan and Shenyang Jinde had less than 2000 spectators, and the football market was shockingly cold.
Compared with the Chinese Super League, Inter Milan's hot football market seems to exist in another dimension.
Being in the Meazza Stadium, feeling the passion and craziness of the fans, even the CCTV reporters were infected.
What made the reporters even more excited was that they saw many fans in the audience wearing Lin Feng's jerseys and holding his posters and banners.
“I didn’t expect that Lin Feng has so many fans in such a short time since joining Inter Milan. It’s amazing!”
When intern reporter Xu Yuanyuan looked at Lin Feng warming up on the court, her face was full of admiration, and she almost thought that stars were coming out of her eyes.
Li Hong nodded: "It's really not easy. Domestic players have never been successful in Serie A before. I hope Lin Feng can break this situation."
The Inter Milan fans nearby saw that they were of yellow race and guessed that they might be Lin Feng's compatriots, and their attitude towards them became much more enthusiastic.
Some people even ran to their cameras, gave them a thumbs-up, and turned their backs to show their jersey numbers and Lin Feng's name on their backs, saying loudly:
"Lin is the pride of our Inter Milan!"
"Go, Lin, go Inter Milan!"
……
Half an hour later, the second leg between Inter Milan and Shakhtar Donetsk officially began.
Compared to the first round, the Miners, who lost by a large margin at home, were in a calmer state of mind today.
The score is already 0:5, do we still expect to defeat our opponents and advance?
There's no hope of advancing anyway, so why worry?
Just treat it as a friendly match and play casually.
Without the psychological pressure, they played more relaxed and their performance on the field was obviously better than the previous game.
In the 25th minute of the first half, Shakhtar striker Marica made a cross from the wing, and Elano scored with a powerful shot from 11 meters in front of the goal.
The Miners took the initiative and scored the first goal.
This result was beyond the expectations of fans of both teams. The singing at the Meazza Stadium, which was originally loud, suddenly stopped after the opponent scored a goal.
Inter Milan fans looked at their own goal in disbelief, totally unable to understand why the team that they had beaten so badly in the previous game became even more ferocious on the road.
After scoring the goal, the morale of the Miners was high. Not only did they play better and better, they even began to suppress Inter Milan on the field.
This made the atmosphere in the stands even more tense.
Feeling this depressing atmosphere, Xu Yuanyuan couldn't help but ask worriedly:
"Is Inter Milan going to lose at home?"
Li Hong shook his head: "It's hard to say. It's still early in the game, so nothing can be said, but I believe in Inter Milan's strength."
He actually wanted to say that he believed in Lin Feng's ability, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
As if to prove that what he said was true, Inter Milan quickly launched a very threatening counterattack.
In the 31st minute, Inter Milan's Cambiasso intercepted the ball and passed it directly to Lin Feng. Lin Feng dribbled the ball at high speed and his teammates followed up immediately.
Suddenly, the situation on the field changed suddenly.
Inter Milan's Adriano, Lin Feng and Recoba, like a trident, pierced the opponent's soft hinterland.
The opponent's midfielder tried to intercept Lin Feng, but Lin Feng took the lead and passed the ball to Adriano.
After receiving the ball, Adriano passed it back to Lin Feng. After passing the opponent's defender with a two-pass pass, Lin Feng continued to dribble the ball and strode towards the opponent's penalty area.
Two defenders from the Miners rushed up and Lin Feng had the opportunity to shoot, but he selflessly passed the ball to a teammate who was in a better position.
Recoba received the ball on the edge of the penalty area and scored with a low shot, helping the team equalize the score.
Because he has a face that looks like an East Asian, Recoba is also called the Chinese boy by fans and is loved by many Chinese fans.
Therefore, many fans jokingly called this a connection between two "Chinese".
After scoring the goal, Recoba was very happy and ran over to hug Lin Feng to celebrate.
Lin Feng can shoot the ball himself or pass it to Adriano.
But he chose to pass the ball to himself, which made Recoba like Lin Feng more.
For a moment, he seemed to really regard Lin Feng as his compatriot.
Recoba was happy, but Adriano on the other side was unhappy.
"Lin, why don't you pass the ball to me? I'm in a great position!"
Adriano was a little frustrated. He had just been facing the goalkeeper. As long as Lin Feng passed the ball to him, he would be sure to score.
But when he reached out for the ball just now, Lin Feng seemed not to see it, which hurt him very much.
"Sorry, Ade, I can't pass the ball to you because you were offside."
"Oh, really? I didn't know that!"
Ade was a little confused. Am I offside?
"Yes, the two defenders of the Miners team rushed forward together and set an offside trap for you."
"I see. Sorry, Lin, I shouldn't have blamed you!"
Adriano had a very good attitude. He admitted his mistakes and had no intention of quibbling.
……
"Did you get it?"
Seeing Li Hong put down the camera, Xu Yuanyuan and the photographer looked at him.
“Yeah, I got it!”
Li Hong nodded confidently.
What he captured was the scene where Recoba ran over and took the initiative to hug Lin Feng.
This photo of the two 'Chinese' people would probably attract a lot of fans if it were sent back to China!
After Inter Milan equalized the score, the situation on the field returned to a balance.
The Miners performed really well today. The players fully demonstrated their strength, played in a very organized manner and created many opportunities.
It's a pity that they failed to seize these opportunities and failed to break Inter Milan's goal again.
In the second half, Inter Milan replaced Stankovic with Pizarro to further strengthen their control over the midfield.
This adjustment achieved very good results, and Inter Milan quickly took complete control of the midfield.
After Pizarro came on the court, Lin Feng received more support from his teammates. His power gradually emerged. He began to attack the Miners' defense continuously, and single-handedly disturbed the Miners' defense.
In the 67th minute, after Lin Feng received a pass from Pizarro in the midfield, in front of fans at the scene, he used his signature long-distance run to overcome all obstacles, reach the opponent's penalty area, and score the ball, performing an incredible one-stop attack!
This goal plunged the entire Meazza Stadium into madness!
Tens of thousands of Inter Milan fans at the scene shouted Lin Feng’s name and sang the song “Lin’s Song” they had just composed.
Ole Ole Ole Ole
You are like a lightning
Advent at Meazza
You are God's gift to Inter Milan, the prince of the Nerazzurri
Wearing blue and black jersey
Destroy all opponents
Let them remember our names...
The huge noise and the scene of tens of thousands of people shouting Lin Feng's name in unison shocked the CCTV reporters.
It turns out that his status in the hearts of Inter Milan fans is so high!
It seems that we still underestimated Lin Feng's influence in the hearts of Inter Milan fans.
This scene was completely recorded by the camera and after being transmitted back to China, it received millions of views on the Tudou Video website.
……
"Pretty!"
Mancini stood up and waved his fists vigorously, although there was no suspense about advancing.
But losing to the opponent at home is always embarrassing. Fortunately, Lin Feng's goal ended this embarrassing situation.
Inter Milan, having reversed the score, will not give up the victory easily.
While happy, Mancini discovered a problem:
The game time is almost approaching 70 minutes. How can Lin Feng still have enough physical strength to complete such a long distance run?
When he was running just now, he didn't slow down at all.
Mancini also noticed that Lin Feng's sprinting times in this game increased significantly.
In other words, in this game, he consumed more physical energy than before.
This gave Mancini a bold guess:
"Have you noticed that Lin's physical fitness seems to be much better than before?"
Mancini suddenly spoke to the assistant coach in charge of physical training.
The assistant coach frowned and thought for a moment, then recalled Lin Feng's performance in this game and nodded heavily:
"It seems to be true. It feels like his physical energy consumption is greater than before, but he is not physically exhausted like before!"
Hearing the assistant coach's words, Mancini asked curiously:
"How's his recent physical training going?"
The assistant coach answered without hesitation:
"Lin is very hardworking. He would do extra training after training every day. I asked him and he said that he mainly trained strength and physical fitness."
"I think his improvement in physical fitness is inseparable from his daily hard training!"
Mancini nodded, reluctantly accepting the explanation of the physical coach.
But he knew that physical strength would not increase so quickly.
Therefore, he felt that Lin Feng's physical changes were probably related to his gradual recovery from the negative impact of running between the national team and the club.
Europe and East Asia are too far apart. Even by plane it takes seven or eight hours, and a round trip of more than ten hours.
The narrow space on the plane makes long-distance travel very uncomfortable, and people are exhausted both physically and mentally after a flight.
In addition, the time difference between the two places makes it difficult for the players to get a good rest.
If we add in the consumption of national team games, the players will be exhausted after returning home to play football.
This is also the reason why the team's form of some wealthy clubs with a large number of international players will plummet after the FIFA match day.
Participating in national team competitions is really too exhausting for the players.
Half a month has passed since Lin Feng returned from the national team.
He should have almost recovered from the FIFA virus, that's why he performed so well in this game!
If this is true, then Lin Feng's physical fitness does not seem to be as bad as he imagined.
In that case, why not try to let him play longer?
Mancini plans to postpone the substitution time and spend more time observing Lin Feng's performance on the field to see how long his physical strength can support him to play.
This is very important for Inter Milan's next game!
On the court, Lin Feng has fully felt the power of Nedved's template.
His strong fighting spirit and abundant physical strength enable him to attack the opponent's defense again and again.
In the past, when the game reached the 60th minute, Lin Feng already felt very tired.
But now, he feels he has no problem playing the whole game.
But he didn't dare to act too exaggerated all of a sudden. He could only last 75 minutes in the last game, and he could hardly run at the end.
Now he can play the whole game in one go, which is too big a leap and may arouse suspicion from others.
So in the second half, Lin Feng was already consciously controlling his number of sprints and speed.
But the opportunity just now was so good that I couldn't help but put on a one-stop show.
This made Lin Feng a little worried, wondering if this would expose his own strength.
Fortunately, the fans and teammates didn't seem to pay attention to this. Everyone was busy having fun and didn't notice Lin Feng's abnormality.
This made Lin Feng feel relieved.
It’s just a little strange that why the head coach doesn’t let the substitutes warm up?
How can I replace myself if the substitute doesn’t warm up?
Little did he know, Mancini wanted to test his physical limits.
Mancini will not easily replace him unless he shows obvious physical exhaustion.
The coach was reluctant to make substitutions, so Lin Feng had no choice but to stay on the court.
But he began to change his playing style. He no longer sprinted as fiercely as before. Instead, he transformed himself into an organizing midfielder, using his passing and organizational skills to strategize and win games thousands of miles away.
In the 77th minute, Lin Feng made a long pass over the top, assisting Adriano to score with a header.
Adriano is finally open!
After scoring the goal, he was as happy as a child. He ran to the corner area, pulled out the flagpole, held it in his hand like a machine gun, and made a machine gun celebration gesture towards the camera.
Cheers from Inter Milan fans were heard from the stands. Although Adriano's form has declined in the past two seasons, in many people's minds, he is still the favorite king of Inter Milan fans.
"It seems that this is his limit!"
It was seen that Lin Feng no longer sprinted with the ball, but chose a more energy-saving kicking style.
Mancini felt that Lin Feng’s physical strength should have been almost exhausted.
So he chose to replace Lin Feng and let him accept the applause and cheers from the fans alone.
Seeing that the head coach was finally willing to make a substitution, Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
If he didn't change people, he would be worried that he would be exposed.
In the stands, when the fans saw Lin Feng being substituted, they all stood up and paid the highest respect to him with the warmest applause and cheers.
The Nerazzurri fans love this magical boy from the East!
Whenever he plays, he always surprises the fans and never disappoints them.
At this moment, in the minds of many Inter Milan fans, Lin Feng's status has surpassed Adriano, and he is on the verge of becoming the new king of Inter Milan!
In the past, AC Milan always liked to show off to Inter Milan's fans that they brought a genius from Brazil. Now, they use this to mock Inter Milan for having no vision and spending money recklessly.
But now, Inter fans can proudly hold their chests high and tell AC Milan fans.
We have our own genius!
