Chapter 139: Slip of the tongue

"Vieri Injured, Inter Milan in a Tough Situation!" The next day, the prominent Italian newspaper "Evening Post" published a report on the match, with the cover featuring a snapshot of Vieri being carried off the field on a stretcher. Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com

The report stated, "The heavy rain in Reggio Calabria brought many misfortunes to Inter Milan, especially the injury of their main striker, Vieri. It is understood that he will be sidelined for at least two months, meaning he will miss the next eight league matches."

"With a sudden long-range shot from Wang Feng, Inter Milan managed to escape unscathed against the newly promoted team. However, their plight was evident to all."

"At present, apart from Wang Feng, Inter Milan's forward line only consists of veteran Batistuta and substitute Mohamed Carlon. At the beginning of the season, Coach Cooper's bold words seem to be drifting further away from reality. Inter Milan needs to seriously consider the path ahead."

For the coaching staff of Inter Milan, the shortage of personnel in the forward line is indeed a serious problem. They did not buy Crespo in the summer and sold Adriano. Currently, the position only has Wang Feng, Batistuta, Carlon, and Recoba.

So they promoted Obafemi Martins from the Inter Milan youth team to the first team as Wang Feng's backup, which can be considered a temporary solution. This eighteen-year-old youngster is even younger than Wang Feng and becomes the youngest player in the first team.

Returning to Milan, everyone will soon welcome the second round of the Champions League group stage match against Ajax, a strong team from the Eredivisie.

Ajax's attacking training is top-notch in the Eredivisie and is well-known in European football, nurturing outstanding forwards such as Ovimars and Van Basten, who are renowned worldwide.

And what left a deep impression on Wang Feng on the field now is the young center-forward not far away, Ibrahimovic. His physical confrontation and sprinting abilities are outstanding, and his tall stature makes him a towering presence in the penalty area.

In the first twenty minutes of the game, he contributed two fierce shots and two headers, although they didn't result in goals, they forced Inter Milan goalkeeper Toldo to make several fantastic saves.

On the other hand, the injury to Inter Milan's main player affected the on-field performance of the players. They still haven't been able to organize effective attacks.

The twenty-one-year-old Ibrahimovic showed his strength, and after each shot, he provocatively looked at Wang Feng, as if saying, "You're not that great, are you?"

"Wang Feng, you are a god!"

"Wang Feng, you are so handsome, I love you to death!"

Wang Feng opened his arms when he reached the stands, enjoying the praise and cheers from the fans. His teammates who caught up with him hugged him from behind, and Di Biagio exclaimed excitedly, "I couldn't even imagine this kind of shot!"

They celebrated for several minutes before gradually dispersing. After the game restarted, Ajax players were a bit dazed by Wang Feng's goal, and by the end of the first half, they still hadn't fully recovered their senses.

In the second half, Inter Milan stood firm and began to counterattack steadily. On the Ajax side, the players' morale had not fully recovered yet. Although Ibrahimovic's attack was still threatening, there was a hint of fear in his eyes when he looked at Wang Feng.

In the 71st minute, Inter Milan stole the ball in midfield, Di Biagio sent a diagonal long pass to Wang Feng on the right, and Wang Feng quickly started dribbling along the wing.

He then used consecutive feints to get past the full-back and crossed, and Recoba, who had inserted into the box, scored with a left-footed shot.

2-0! Inter Milan won against Ajax at home.

After the game, the Swede came to Wang Feng and said, "Wang Feng, I finally understand your skills. I lost in this game, but next time, it might not be the same."

As he spoke, he took off his own jersey: "Let's exchange jerseys. I should have the qualification for that."

Wang Feng smiled and agreed to his request, also taking off his jersey to hand it over. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the story between himself and Jan Koller, saying, "Come on, young man, the future belongs to you."

Passing by, Materazzi laughed, while Ibrahimovic angrily snatched the jersey from Wang Feng's hand and walked into the player tunnel without looking back.

Wang Feng suddenly woke up, slapped his head suddenly, realizing that he was two years younger than Ibrahimovic, and saying such things was inappropriate!

He wanted to catch up and explain, but he didn't know where to start. He could only sigh and realize that he couldn't just focus on practicing all the time. Occasionally, he also needed to participate in social activities, or he might become awkward even in speech.
