Chapter 183: Never let Real Madrid wreak havoc again

When the referee blew the whistle to signal the end of the first half, the numbers on the electronic scoreboard deeply frustrated Wang Feng: 0-2! Inter Milan seemed powerless and was being dominated by Real Madrid.

At Old Trafford, the stadium turned into a sea of white as Real Madrid fans began celebrating their club's historic tenth championship early. From the looks of it, Inter Milan had little chance.

Not only the spectators in the stands, but even the commentators from various countries in the live broadcast room, including Zhang Jun who had come all the way from China, held a pessimistic attitude towards Inter Milan.

"The trend of this game is regrettable, but Wang Feng, as the first Chinese player to reach the pinnacle of the European Champions League final, has performed remarkably. I hope he can regroup and score in the second half. Even if he can't help the team win in the end, he will have fought without regrets."

The Spanish television commentators were even more critical: "Inter Milan is no match for the Galacticos at all. It's a shame we took them so seriously before the match."

"Real Madrid's form is so hot, they are sure to score again in the second half. Since the Champions League was restructured, no player has ever scored a hat-trick in the final. Now Raul has already scored twice, he has a great chance to make history tonight!"

"Inter Milan has shown their embarrassment in front of a true powerhouse. Serie A has never had three powerhouses; only Juventus and AC Milan stand out, just like Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga."

"I don't deny that Wang Feng is a phenomenal forward, one of the top players in the world currently. But in the first half, he only orchestrated four attacks and two shots. Obviously, the other Inter Milan players couldn't support him well. One person can't defeat a whole team."

"Vieri's form is very poor. His only header opportunity came from Wang Feng's pass. Otherwise, he seemed lost. We couldn't find him in the forward line at all. It seems that the injuries he suffered earlier in the season have really affected him."

As for the attacking players, Vieri patted Wang Feng on the shoulder. "I didn't perform well in the first half, especially missing a chance. I'll do my best to assist your attack in the second half. Let's work together."

Ribery nodded incessantly. "Boss, I'll assist you with all my strength. Let's take on Real Madrid!"

Cooper, seeing this scene, couldn't help but recall Valencia of the past. It was because they didn't have a Wang Feng-like figure that they missed out on the championship trophy twice.

To be honest, the first half of the match had made Cooper feel hopeless. He thought he would once again fall before the Champions League trophy. Three finals, three losses. Perhaps no other coach had experienced such a fate.

More importantly, he didn't have any good tactics to adjust. The current lineup and style of play were the best Inter Milan could offer. So, during the brief break, Cooper could only emphasize the need to defend.

His words didn't move the players, because even he himself lacked confidence. Unexpectedly, just before going on, Wang Feng's actions completely activated the players' desire to win.

If Wang Feng could really lead this Inter Milan to complete a miraculous comeback, then his position in the locker room would surpass everyone, including the captain, Zanetti.

As both sides returned to the field again, everyone was surprised to find that the despondent look of Inter Milan before the end of the first half had disappeared without a trace, replaced by a spirited and confident demeanor.

The Real Madrid players, who were joking and preparing to face the second half lightly, felt a chill in their hearts. They knew that the second half would be a tough battle.

"We can see that neither side has made any personnel changes. Real Madrid doesn't need to, and Inter Milan probably doesn't have anyone to use."

"Injuries are also affecting the performance of this team. They are missing at least three absolute key players due to injury."

"Inter Milan has no way back, but their momentum looks good. Can they create a miracle belonging to the Nerazzurri? We can only wait and see."
