Chapter 154: Win !
After the second half began, Inter Milan's defense gradually stabilized, which was also related to Leverkusen's defensive formation, as the German coach Topmüller remained conservative, wanting to preserve the fruits of victory.
But solely focusing on defense gave Inter Milan space to attack. They weren't in a hurry, instead, they organized their attacks steadily, waiting for the opponent to expose weaknesses.
This opportunity was fleeting, but Wang Feng seized it!
"Goal! Gooooooooooal! In the 66th minute, Wang Feng equalized for Inter Milan!"
After scoring, Wang Feng sprinted to the stands, bowing to the fans who had always supported and cheered for him, expressing his deepest gratitude.
The fans greeted him with applause and cheers, their voices even louder now, with many of them tearfully looking at the figure on the sidelines as if they were witnessing a giant.
"Wang Feng received a cross from Dalma in the frontcourt, suddenly took a long shot from thirty meters away from the goal, the ball went straight into the corner of the net, and Leverkusen's goalkeeper couldn't react."
"This shot caught everyone on the field by surprise. We can see from the sideline camera that Cooper's reaction was captured, he was initially shocked, then raised his arms."
"The Inter Milan players on the field were also stunned, and it took them a moment to react before catching up with Wang Feng to celebrate with him."
"It's all so miraculous."
Wang Feng quickly took the shot because he saw Leverkusen's defensive line had just opened up a gap due to Dalma's dribbling, creating a straight path between him and the goal. His intuition told him that if he followed this path, he would have a chance!
Wang Feng always trusted his senses and intuition, so he didn't hesitate to take the shot. He controlled the angle and force perfectly, and the ball flew into the net along the optimal path.
Leverkusen's defenders were on the verge of tears, screaming in their hearts: "Brother, can you show some mercy? Whether it's a solo goal or a sudden shot, how can we defend against this?"
The three points turned into one, forcing them to continue defending. They were very unwilling, wanting to attack but fearing they would be caught off guard by Inter Milan.
Inter Milan, on the other hand, was full of momentum, enjoying the home advantage. They launched wave after wave of attacks, vowing to stage a stunning comeback!
In the 77th minute, Wang Feng and Calon formed a clever combination on the right side of the frontcourt. Wang Feng sent a low pass to the penalty spot, where Calon shot fiercely, only to be tipped over the bar by Leverkusen's goalkeeper with an extreme stretch.
After the incredible save, Butt shouted angrily at his teammates, "How did you defend? Keep an eye on Wang Feng, don't let them advance easily!"
In the 80th minute, Inter Milan came back again. After Wang Feng received the ball in the frontcourt, he made a fake move to get past the substitute Alisaul, but the latter, too nervous, instinctively pulled him down.
The referee quickly showed a yellow card and awarded Inter Milan a free-kick from twenty-five meters away from the goal.
Almost every opponent knew how accurate Wang Feng's free kicks were, especially within twenty-five meters of the goal. So, they tried to avoid fouling in this area. But since it happened, Leverkusen had to deal with it. Butt directed the positioning of the wall in front of him and ran around the goal, looking for the best angle to save the ball.
The electronic screen at the stadium focused on Wang Feng, Valadi was a long-time Inter Milan fan, from Baggio, Ronaldo to Wang Feng, he had witnessed all the ups and downs of Inter Milan in the past decade.
Seeing Wang Feng's expression on the screen, he smiled and said to his friends next to him, "Get ready to celebrate, buddy, this goal is happening!"
Moments later, the Meazza Stadium erupted into thunderous cheers as Wang Feng executed a huge arcing free kick, circling around the wall from the left and flying into the top right corner of the goal.
Facing such a tricky angle, Butt was helpless and could only watch the ball go into the net.
3-2! Inter Milan reversed the score! Wang Feng scored a hat-trick!
When the referee blew the final whistle, the Meazza Stadium turned into a sea of blue, and the home fans set off blue fireworks, laughter and songs filled the entire space.
In the media interview area, journalists were ready, and when Wang Feng passed by, they surrounded him.
"Wang, congratulations on another hat-trick and helping the team reverse the game. How do you feel at this moment?"
"I feel very happy, not only because I completed a hat-trick, but also because the team finally won. This is the credit of our entire team. It is because of their support that we can achieve miraculous victories." Wang Feng's interview was as humble as ever.
But the journalists weren't going to let him off that easily. "The two goals conceded in the first half were due to Cannavaro's poor performance, and he was substituted during halftime."
"How do you view this? Is his poor performance related to the conflict with Cordoba? Is Inter Milan's dressing room facing disintegration?"
Facing such pointed questions, Wang Feng put away his smile. "Every player has their ups and downs, including me. Fabio is a top defender, and that doesn't need to be proven."
"How players are used is the coach's tactical arrangement, and it has nothing to do with anything else. There are no conflicts between the players, just some differences. The dressing room is very harmonious."
After answering, seeing the journalists still eager for a big story, Wang Feng said he was too tired from the whole game and needed to rest quickly, then hurriedly escaped into the player tunnel.
Mazzarri, who had just heard Wang Feng's interview from a distance, joked when he saw him coming over, "Wang, every time I see you interviewed, it feels like I'm listening to an official spokesperson. How did you train for that? I also want to learn."
When the media interviewed Leverkusen coach Topmüller, the legendary coach from last season sighed helplessly, "We did our best, but we lost to one of the best forwards in the world."
"We had made sufficient defensive arrangements against Wang Feng before the game, but he always manages to seize opportunities that don't seem like opportunities and launch deadly attacks."
Topmüller also sarcastically remarked, "I heard Bayern Munich wants to buy Wang Feng. My God, they're really rich."
"Isn't taking Barak and Zeroberto away from us enough? If this continues, small clubs like ours won't be able to survive. We might as well let the Football Association award them the championship trophy before the league even starts."
"We small clubs must unite and appeal to UEFA to implement relevant policies to limit these moneyed giants."
