Chapter 162: Battle of Natural Mountain - Inter Milan VS Juventus Before the big battle, there was silence in Inter Milan's locker room. The players silently packed up their personal belongings and made final preparations. The depressing atmosphere in the locker room made everyone feel nervous. Thinking of the opponent's strong strength and the huge score gap between the two sides, the feeling of tension became even stronger. Captain Zanetti is not the kind of person who is good at boosting morale. He is the kind of person who is humble, easy-going, low-key and introverted. In fact, people with this kind of personality are not suitable to be team leaders because they are too introverted and it is difficult for them to take the initiative to mobilize the emotions of their teammates and arouse their fighting spirit before the game starts. "Clap clap clap!" The silent and depressing atmosphere was interrupted by a burst of applause. The players who were sorting their things stopped what they were doing and looked towards the people who were applauding. The one who clapped his hands and interrupted everyone's actions was none other than Lin Feng. Although he is not the leader of the team, he also feels that it is not a good thing to continue to remain silent like this. So with the idea that something should be done, this action was taken.
But when the others found out that it was Lin Feng who did this, they all had a complacent expression on their faces, as if he was the one who should do this. "Hey guys, do you hear the fans cheering outside?" Inter Milan's locker room was very simple and the sound insulation was not very good. The sounds from the stadium were clearly transmitted into the locker room. The Meazza Stadium was completely full for this game. With 80,000 people gathered together, the momentum created was quite astonishing. "The vast majority of these people are fans who support us. Some of them are from Milan, some are from other parts of Italy, and many even come from other countries overseas. They come from afar to cheer for us!" Compared to the conservative AC Milan, Inter Milan is more open and inclusive. This inclusiveness and openness enabled Inter Milan to attract many outstanding international players in the early days, and the joining of these players attracted a large number of overseas fans and supporters for them. There are very few local players in the current Inter Milan team, and most of the main players are from other countries. When they heard Lin Feng mention that a large number of overseas fans came to support him, they all felt refreshed and their fighting spirit increased. "Can we let these supporters down?" "cannot!" Everyone answered in unison. The heavy, depressing atmosphere in the locker room began to dissipate. Lin Feng was very satisfied with the effect of his speech, but he felt that it was not enough. He needed to add more fuel to the fire and stir up the anger in the players' hearts: "I think everyone remembers clearly how our opponent Juventus treated us in the last game, right?" "Can you accept them riding on our necks, shitting and pissing, bullying us, and stepping on our dead bodies to lift the championship trophy?" "cannot!" Everyone's answers were filled with anger. Recalling what happened to them in the last game at the Alpi Stadium, all Inter Milan players felt a nameless rage rising in their hearts. Losing is fine if you are not as skilled as your opponent, but it is impossible to swallow the humiliation of seeing someone using dishonorable means to undermine the fairness of the game and snatching away the fruits of their victory in a manner that is almost like robbery! "What are you waiting for? Go to the stadium and crush them. Let Juventus know who is the real king of Serie A!" ……
"CCTV, CCTV, dear audience friends, this is the live broadcast of the 2005th round of the 2006-25 Serie A season, with Inter Milan playing at home against Juventus, who are currently ranked first in the league." CCTV's commentary partners today are He Wei and Han Qiaosheng. This match is also very popular among commentators. The two applied for a long time to get this opportunity, so they seem particularly excited. "Fans from both teams are entering the stadium to warm up and prepare for the game. The game is about to begin." In his excitement, Han Qiaosheng's old habit of slipping his tongue came back and he actually called the players fans. But after hearing his poor commentary, the audience not only did not criticize him for it, but laughed out loud and found it very funny: "Haha, Old Han's problem has come back again!" "It can be seen that Teacher Han is also looking forward to this game!" "Tsk tsk, I've been looking forward to this game this whole week!" "After watching the Spring Festival Gala, this is the perfect Spring Festival to watch a top-notch football match like this!" "It's too early to say that. If Inter Milan loses, it will be upset. Winning will be the real perfection!" "I'm not an Inter Milan fan, I'm here for Lin Feng, so as long as Lin Feng performs well, it doesn't matter whether Inter Milan wins or not!" "Seconded!" "Second the proposal +1!" …… The forums and BBS are very lively, with a large number of people posting and replying to posts. It is the Spring Festival, and everyone has plenty of time to enjoy the football game, not to mention such an important Italian national derby, how can we miss it? Time passed quickly as the fans chatted. After completing the pre-match warm-up, players from both sides put on their equipment and appeared in the player tunnel one after another. Although many players in the two teams know each other and are teammates in the national team. But at this moment, no one came forward to greet their teammates. Everyone held their breath, staring straight ahead, quietly waiting for the game to begin. The referee team stood in front of the player tunnel, and seeing that the time was almost up, they took the lead and walked towards the court. The players of both teams, each holding a caddy, left the player tunnel and stepped onto the court! After seeing the Inter players appear, the host at the Meazza began to announce the show to the tens of thousands of fans at the scene. Every time he called out the name of an Inter player, there was thunderous applause and cheers. Inter Milan fans are expressing their support and love for the players in this way. Of course, the degree of fans' love for different players will naturally vary. When Zanetti and other veteran players came on the field, the cheers from the audience were obviously louder than those for the previous players. Lin Feng, a newcomer who has joined Inter Milan for less than a year, has received support equal to or even more than that of the veteran players. When he came on the field, not only did the audience burst into thunderous applause, but the fans also stood up and cheered collectively. A huge TIFO rose up in the north stand of Meazza. Three clowns covered in zebra stripes woke up from their sleep, and appearing among them were three championship trophies above, representing the League, Champions League and Italian Cup respectively. At the top of the TIFO, Inter Milan fans wrote in bold letters: "Keep dreaming!" Seeing this, Inter Milan players entering the stadium couldn't help laughing and gave their fans thumbs up in their hearts: Well done!
After seeing this scene, the Juventus players' faces turned very ugly. But many people were also angered by the actions of Inter Milan fans. The opponents are mocking them for failing to win any of the three major titles this season, so they will go to their opponents' home ground and extinguish Inter Milan's last fantasy with a hearty victory! Maybe we can't win the Champions League and the Italian Cup, but we, Juventus, are sure to win the league title this year! “Haha, Inter Milan fans are really creative. It must have taken a lot of thought to make such a huge TIFO!” In the stands, the two commentators couldn't help laughing after seeing this scene. "This is the tradition of the Nerazzurri. Whenever they encounter some important home games, they will make various TIFOs before the game. Some are simply to cheer for their own team, while others are to ridicule the visiting team and intimidate the visiting team." Han Qiao has watched many of the matches of Business A and is accustomed to this kind of scene. "Teacher Han knows a lot. Who do you think will win today's game?" He Wei has commented on more La Liga and Bundesliga matches, and only started commenting on Serie A this season. In addition, he is young and has little experience, so he is very humble in front of veteran commentators like Han Qiaosheng. "From the perspective of the team strength, pre-match condition and historical record, I am more optimistic about Juventus. Coach Capello is very capable and has trained the team very well. The players are in very good mental and physical condition. On the other hand, Inter Milan is fighting on two fronts, and their physical energy consumption is greater than that of Juventus. In addition, they just lost the previous game, and the team's morale is probably at a low point. If they meet Juventus at this time, I am afraid it will be disastrous. And there is another interesting phenomenon, that is, Juventus's winning rate at Inter Milan's home is higher than their own home winning rate. The game they defeated Inter Milan 9:1 was played at the Meazza Stadium. " He Wei nodded. Of course, he would not directly refute Han Qiaosheng's words, but expressed his own views very tactfully: "Teacher Han is indeed well-informed. If you hadn't mentioned it to me and the fans, I'm afraid we wouldn't have noticed this interesting situation. Juventus is stronger on paper, but Lin Feng has performed very well in recent games. If he can continue his previous excellent form, he may be able to bring some surprises to the fans! ” Han Qiaosheng nodded slightly. He also liked Lin Feng very much, not only because he was his compatriot, but also because he saw spirituality and creativity in him. …… At 19:00 in the evening, with the referee's whistle, the game officially began! After the opening, Inter Milan omitted any probing and launched a direct attack on the opponent. In the 2nd minute, Lin Feng made a long diagonal pass in the middle, and Martins successfully made an offside, but Chiellini returned to defense in time and poked the ball out of the bottom line at the front of the penalty area. Chiellini, who is only 21 years old, is not as experienced as he is now, but he has already demonstrated his strong defensive talent in the back line. Martins underestimated his opponent because of his youth, causing him to miss the opportunity. Juventus is not a weak team that can be bullied at will. Their strength is no weaker than Inter Milan, and may even be stronger. After withstanding Inter Milan's attack in the early stages, Juventus quickly launched a counterattack. In the 5th minute, Vieira made a straight pass in the middle and accurately found Trezeguet on the striker. But the latter was flagged offside by the linesman when he received the ball, and Juventus failed to seize this opportunity. But even so, the opponent's counterattack still made Inter Milan fans sweat. However, before they could come to their senses, Inter Milan responded with a quick attack. Inter Milan took advantage of the opportunity when the opponent's formation did not withdraw and chose to quickly send a free kick. Veron made a long pass from the right, Adriano grabbed the ball and passed it to Lin Feng.
Juventus reacted extremely quickly, and three players surrounded Lin Feng in an instant. But Lin Feng did not give the opponent a chance to double-team him. Before the opponent's encirclement closed, he passed the ball to the right. A blue figure rushed past, and Portugal's legendary winger received the pass from Lin Feng. Before the opponent's defender got into position, Figo aimed at his teammate in the penalty area and sent a cross. Adriano predicted where the ball would land and jumped up with all his might, but someone was faster than him! A pair of big hands appeared above his head. Buffon chose to attack and took the ball steadily. Adriano was knocked down into the penalty area by Buffon when he fell, but the referee naturally would not give a penalty for such a ball. The game had just begun and both teams were already picking up the pace. This made the fans who watched the game very excited, especially the fans who came to watch the game in person, who felt that the tickets were worth buying! "Fuck, this is too fast!" “I feel like the players on the field have afterimages when they run!” “Is this what it feels like to watch a game live?” "It's so exciting to watch the game live, it's completely different from watching it on TV at home!" “No wonder so many people are willing to spend money to watch the game live. It turns out that the visual impact of watching the game live is so strong!!” Even more shocked than the fans at the scene were the Chinese fans who were wearing various uniforms and acting as staff members. They are closer to the stadium than ordinary fans and are obviously more impacted. Such a close distance is a brand new experience even for old fans who have watched games live, not to mention those who have never watched games live. This game directly overturned their three views. Suddenly I discovered the charm of football! …… The pace on the field is still very fast and has not slowed down at all with the passage of time! In the 7th minute, Juventus took a tactical corner kick from the right side. Camoranesi made a cross from the right, and Ibrahimovic headed the ball downward from 5 meters in front of the goal. The ball was very threatening and too close to the goal, so after completing the shot, Ibrahimovic was already mentally prepared to celebrate. However, Inter Milan's goalkeeper Cesar made an acrobatic save and incredibly blocked Ibrahimovic's close shot. This goal was so morale-boosting that the fans at the scene gave crazy applause and cheered for Cesar's wonderful save. Inter Milan's players also came forward to hug him. If an ordinary goalkeeper had been substituted, Inter Milan would have fallen behind. Less than a year after joining the team, Cesar has completely replaced Toldo and become Inter Milan's unshakable main goalkeeper. He was even given the title of "Saint of Se" by Inter Milan fans!
