Chapter 301 Bei passes the ball and returns to the Olympic team to prepare for Chelsea! As time enters February and winter gradually comes to an end, the league schedule begins to become more intensive. The good times of having a game every week are gone! On February 2, Inter Milan drew 1:0 with Sampdoria at home in the semi-final of the Italian Cup. As Inter Milan won 3-0 in the first leg, they kept a large number of their main players in the bench for this match, with only Beckham and the substitutes playing. Perhaps because he hadn't played for a long time and was not very familiar with his teammates and the team's tactics, Beckham's performance in this game was not particularly outstanding. But his attitude on the court was very positive. He did not spare his physical strength at all and ran like crazy throughout the whole game. Although Beckham's defensive ability is not outstanding, running a lot is also beneficial. At least when the opponent is dribbling forward, someone will move quickly to defend, which will put pressure on the person with the ball, making it difficult for the opponent to get rid of it in time, and then miss the opportunity to attack. In addition to playing a role on the defensive end, his running also created a lot of opportunities on the offensive end. But unfortunately, his teammates lacked understanding with him, and it was difficult for both sides to think in unison, resulting in many of Beckham's efforts being in vain.
But Mancini saw all of his performances. To be honest, before watching this game, he still had some doubts about Beckham's ability. But after this game, he suddenly understood. Although his strength is not as good as top stars like Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, and Zidane, he is still much stronger than ordinary stars! If scored out of 100, Beckham's overall strength would definitely be above 90 points. With this foundation, coupled with the attitude shown by the other party in training and in the game, Mancini has more confidence in Beckham! Beckham was not very satisfied with his performance in the first game, so in the training in the next few days, he became more serious than usual. However, to his surprise, every time he arrived at the training ground, Lin Feng always arrived before him! This made Beckham very curious. How early did this guy go out? Lin Feng's hard training brought a great shock to Beckham's heart. When he was as old as Lin Feng, although he also completed the training content assigned by the coach very seriously, he was definitely not as hardworking as the other party. At that time, he might have cared more about his outfit and hairstyle, and how to stand out better on the court! Thinking of this, Beckham couldn't help but shook his head. Others are geniuses, they are different from ordinary people like me! But then again, if geniuses are working so hard, why shouldn’t I work hard too? Inter Milan's players had long been accustomed to Lin Feng, the training maniac, but what they didn't expect was that the new member Beckham had also gotten into it! Now, everyone has a sense of crisis! Originally, when only Lin Feng did this, they could still comfort themselves that the other party was a genius, a monster, and they could not compare with him. But the gap in strength between Beckham and them is not that big, and Beckham is obviously not a genius. Even the other party's fame and income far exceed theirs. How can they have the nerve to carry such a famous superstar when he is so extravagant? Gradually, under the leadership of Lin Feng and Beckham, the training atmosphere within Inter Milan began to change. In the past, people would leave the training ground at a certain time, but now more people are voluntarily staying to practice more! This change made Mancini feel extremely surprised, and the morale of the troops was boosted! Lin Feng, who accidentally triggered an internal competition, was still unaware of it. Although he trained very hard on weekdays, in addition to preparing for the league and the Champions League these days, he also had to distract himself to take into account the games of the National Olympic Team, especially the preparations for the game between the National Olympic Team and Chelsea on February 2. In order to adjust himself to the best condition, Lin Feng took the initiative to increase the intensity of his training since the end of January.
Beckham happened to catch up with the time when Lin Feng intensified his training, which led to this misunderstanding. He regarded Lin Feng's intensified training as the norm! If Lin Feng knew what he was thinking, he would probably be in tears and laughter! This kind of training intensity is fine for a week or two, but if it continues for too long, it will probably ruin the person! …… It turns out that when performance is poor, strengthening training is really effective! On February 2, the 11rd round of Serie A kicked off. In this round of the game, Inter Milan will visit Verona and challenge Chievo, which is ranked 16th in the league. Chievo's record this season is quite bad. After the 23rd round of the league, they have only achieved 4 wins and 7 draws, and lost all the remaining games. The 19 points also made Chievo's situation dangerous. At present, they are only one point higher than Parma, which is third from the bottom, and are only one step away from the relegation zone. They may fall into the abyss at any time. In the face of a huge survival crisis, Chievo did not give in even when facing a dominant team like Inter Milan. Playing at home, they played very hard and tried to threaten Inter Milan's goal with attacks many times. But unfortunately, their attack did not pose much threat to Inter Milan. Instead, Inter Milan seized the opportunity of their massive pressure and launched a quick counterattack in the first half, scoring the first goal. In the second half of the game, Chievo, who was behind in the score, had no way out. Forced into a desperate situation, they launched a more massive attack. However, it was the same problem as before. After Chievo attacked, there were big problems with the defense in the backcourt. In the 58th minute of the second half, Inter Milan successfully counterattacked in their own half. Cambiasso got the ball and quickly made a long pass to the frontcourt. Beckham, who replaced Figo in the starting lineup, demonstrated his precision-guided shooting ability for the first time in the game! After a brief observation, he made a freehand cross and accurately found his teammate in the penalty area. Torres felt like the ball was aimed at his head. He just needed to jump on the spot and head the ball! The speed and rotation angle of Bei's cross made his header of extremely high quality. The goalkeeper only had time to jump on the spot, but had no chance to touch the ball. The ball hit the inside of the crossbar and flew into the net. The score became 2:0 and Inter Milan secured the victory. "Here it comes, a Beckham-style cross!" "We have seen this kind of cross too many times before at Manchester United and Real Madrid!" "Perfect angle and speed, Torres' header was so comfortable!" "For the defense, when Beckham gets the ball on the field, you have to be extra careful, because even if he is 50 meters away from the goal, he can deliver a precision-guided cross to assist his teammates to score!" "Inter Milan's eight million is totally worth it. Although Beckham cannot represent the team in the Champions League, with such a general in charge of the league, Inter Milan's defense can rest assured and can boldly compete for the Champions League!" In the view of the two commentators, Inter Milan's transfer of Beckham was quite successful. Not only did it bring traffic and commercial sponsorship to the team, it also greatly strengthened the team's lineup. Inter Milan is not short of players on the front line now. Cruz, Crespo and Torres are all in good shape. But the midfield is too dependent on Lin Feng. Apart from Lin Feng and Figo who can provide stable assists to their teammates, it is difficult for other players to replace their positions.
Now with the arrival of a cross master like Beckham, not only can he greatly relieve the offensive pressure on Lin Feng, but his precise crosses also provide Inter Milan with a new means of attack! Just like in this game, Chievo followed the tactics that other teams used against Inter Milan before and arranged special personnel to guard and restrict Lin Feng. However, with Beckham on the field, even if Lin Feng does not touch the ball, as long as he helps his teammates attract firepower, interfere with or take away defensive players, and create enough space for Beckham, he can maximize his threat! In this situation, it is not enough to just restrict Lin Feng, but Beckham's passing channel must also be cut off. But Beckham is either on the wing or in the backcourt, with a lot of space around him, so it is not easy to cut off his passing route. Chievo seems to be caught in such a dilemma, they don’t even know who to prioritize! "Chievo has no chance. Inter Milan has too many attacking points and they can't limit them at all. If they continue to attack as aggressively as before, similar goals will probably continue to happen. But if they don't attack, they are waiting for death!" Although the home fans were in a tragic mood, sang the team song and cheered for the home team, the miracle did not happen after all. In the end, Inter Milan defeated their opponent 2:0 in the away game without any bloodshed, increasing their league winning streak to 15 games! They have tied Bayern's record for the longest winning streak in the top five leagues. As long as they can win the next game, they will create their own record of winning streak in the top five leagues! …… In the match against Chievo, Lin Feng only played for 60 minutes. After Torres scored in the second half, he was replaced by Mancini. Although Mancini did not want to let Lin Feng participate in the National Olympic Team's games, in his opinion, what was the point of playing this kind of friendly match? Inter Milan is about to face the most important Champions League knockout match. As the absolute core of the team, he does not stay in the team to recuperate, but is running around. Is this reasonable? The style of Premier League teams is inherently rough and wild, and Chelsea is particularly famous for its defense. Will anything good come from going head-on with a team like this? Mancini couldn't understand it. It wasn't a national team match, was it necessary to be like this? Although he couldn't figure it out, Mancini knew that Lin Feng's attitude was very firm, so he didn't try to trip him up. Instead, he took the initiative to help him reduce the burden. He just hoped that he could pay attention to protecting himself and not get injured during the game. If Lin Feng was injured at this time, he would really have no place to cry! …… Since this week is FIFA's match day and there is a long time before the next league game, almost all the friends who play for major European clubs are here. The National Olympic Team's lineup is even more organized than the first time! Obviously, no one wants to miss the game against Chelsea. Even though they know they will lose, and may even lose badly, everyone is still full of expectations! "Big Head, why don't you say you will score three goals against Chelsea this time?" As soon as the guys met, someone started making fun of Gao Lin. "Go away, that's the strongest defense in Europe. I'm not Ronaldo. How could I possibly score three goals against Chelsea?" Although Gao Lin likes to brag, he would definitely not say such irresponsible words. Not to mention three goals, if he could score just one goal against Chelsea in this game, it would be something he could brag about for years! "By the way, is there anyone playing in the Premier League? How strong is this Chelsea team? Which players should we pay special attention to? Can anyone come out and say something?" As soon as these words were spoken, the scene became completely silent, with no one standing up to talk. There are many players in this national Olympic team who have studied abroad, almost from the five major leagues, but none from the Premier League. It’s not that there are no Premier League players, for example Dong Fangzhuo. Although he has never played for Manchester United in the Premier League, he is indeed a Manchester United player, he just doesn’t play in the Premier League! “Ahem, there are actually people in the Premier League!” Seeing that no one spoke, Manchester City player Zhao Xuri stood up. "Don't look at me. Although I'm from Manchester City, I'm still on loan!" Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zhao Xuri quickly waved his hands, then grabbed Dong Fangzhuo's shoulders with both hands and pushed him out as a shield: "I'm actually talking about Brother Dong!" Everyone knows that Dong Fangzhuo is a Manchester United player.
But wasn't he loaned to the Belgian Second Division by Manchester United? "Ahem, my work permit was approved, just last month..." Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, Dong Fangzhuo suppressed his inner excitement and explained in a low voice. Unlike other leagues, non-European players in the Premier League need a work permit to legally register and qualify to participate in the British league. Dong Fangzhuo has joined Manchester United for a long time, but due to the fact that he has not been able to obtain a work permit, he cannot represent Manchester United in the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup and other competitions held in the UK. He can only join the team to participate in overseas friendly matches. Now that there are no restrictions in this regard, it means that Dong Fangzhuo can finally appear in the Premier League as a Manchester United player! "Congratulations! We have finally taken this crucial step!" "Brother Dong is awesome. I'm counting on you to beat that fat guy Rooney and that bicycle rider from Portugal!" After realizing what was happening, the teammates congratulated Dong Fangzhuo one after another. This step was really difficult for him. It took him three full years from January 2004 when he was officially announced by Manchester United to now, and he finally got the work permit. What kind of work efficiency is this? The British Labor Department is really fucked up! Thinking of this, many people looked at Zhao Xuri with sympathy. This guy and Dong Fangzhuo are brothers in distress, one joined Manchester United and the other joined Manchester City. The Manchester United player has finally become the mother-in-law, I wonder how long the Manchester City player will have to wait! (End of this chapter)
