The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 15 Wang Dong

In the next ten minutes of the game, Manchester United launched a fierce attack on Tottenham amid the cheers of the home fans.

The visiting team simply left only Berbatov in the frontcourt, and everyone else returned to their penalty area to help the team defend.

The players on the field of the Red Devils couldn't come up with any good solutions to the visiting team's iron barrel formation.

In the 85th minute, Scholes made a pass from the wing, and King Dong jumped high in the penalty area and shook his head to attack the goal!

The ball missed the post and went out of the baseline. Tottenham goalkeeper Robinson was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.

Manchester United made a comeback two minutes later. Giggs sent a direct pass. King Dong accelerated and got rid of Tottenham defender Rosa and volleyed with his right foot from the edge of the penalty area!
  This was a very high-quality shot, but the England goalkeeper of the Lily Legion was very focused and flew to save the ball.

At the end of regular time, the referee gave three minutes of stoppage time.

Seeing that the game was coming to an end, but the home team still failed to change the score, the Manchester United players became more and more impatient.

In the penalty area, King Dong raised his hand to ask for the ball from his teammates, but Nani's pass was blocked by Tottenham defender Kaboul.

Leo shook his head. Wang Dong actually performed pretty well, whether it was running, fighting or hitting the goal.

It's just that it's obvious that the cooperation between him and his teammates is not enough, and that his teammates don't trust him enough.

On several occasions, if others could pass the ball in time, Wang Dong could still pose a great threat to Tottenham's goal.

After several passes, the ball was passed to Leo's feet. He noticed that the referee Weber was constantly looking down at his watch.

That would be easy, and Leo was not in a hurry to play the ball, so he just dribbled the ball towards the corner flag area at an extremely slow speed.

Owen Hargreaves and Wes Brown stepped forward to grab the ball, but the ball was still firmly controlled by Leo.

Because he was not prepared to pass the ball out or break through the defense, Leo, who was concentrating on dribbling the ball, took the ball all the way to the upper left corner of the court and his opponent did not intercept the ball.

Hargreaves was forced to attack directly, but Leo didn't tolerate him and immediately fell to the ground.

Howard Webber didn't give any more time. He looked at his watch again and blew the whistle to end the game.

In the end, Tottenham Hotspur tied Manchester United 1-1 on the road!
  After the game, Leo found Wang Dong, who looked frustrated, and wanted to have a brief chat with him.

"Can you exchange jerseys? I think Sir Alex Ferguson should have put you on the field earlier. Having a center like you in the frontcourt will actually be of great help to Manchester United's offense."

"Oh, alright."

Wang Dong took off half of his clothes before he remembered, ah? Why does this Leo or something speak Chinese?

Seeing him like this, Leo smiled. He took over Wang Dong's No. 21 jersey and explained:
  "My parents are both Chinese. It's rare to see our compatriots, so I thought I'd come over and have a chat with you."

"Oh," King Dong suddenly realized, and then said with an envious look: "That man can speak both Italian and Chinese, and he can also speak English. What a talent!"

In the previous introduction of Leo by the British media, the focus was on him being a youth trainee of Inter Milan, while downplaying his Chinese identity. Now that the Internet is not as developed as it will be in the future, it is normal for Wang Dong not to know.

"If only I were like you, I wouldn't have any problems communicating with my teammates."

Now that King Dong has talked about this, Leo will say a few more words.

He shook his head slightly, "Even if you speak the same language, it doesn't mean they can identify with you.

When I was in Milan, many white people discriminated against and isolated me because of my skin color.

Of course, taking the initiative to communicate with teammates is one thing. On the football field, the more important thing is to speak with strength. "

Wang Dong was a little surprised and nodded in understanding.

"Are you leaving tonight? Let me treat you to a meal. You also said that it is rare to meet a compatriot here."

Leo smiled bitterly and shook his head, "If the head coach has a day off tomorrow morning, some people in the team may have to stay in London to have fun and then return to London tomorrow. It may be more convenient for me to take the team bus." He was embarrassed to say that he The wages are low, and the ticket from Manchester to London is not cheap.

Wang Dong expressed his understanding of this, "Well, we are all in the UK anyway. There will be opportunities in the future."

After exchanging contact information, the two left the venue.

Back in the locker room, Bell curled his lips when he saw the King Dong jersey in Leo's hand.

"Whatever jersey you want to change with him, you should ask Scholes and Giggs to change it."

"I'd like to, but people may not like me, so it's better to find someone I'm compatible with."

Gareth was noncommittal, shrugged and said nothing.

At this time, the team's head coach Martin Jol clapped his hands and the locker room became quiet.

"We drew with defending champions Manchester United at Old Trafford and I'm so proud of your performance tonight!

So I just discussed it with Poyet. We will have a good rest for half a day tomorrow morning and return to the team for recovery training in the afternoon. "

"Ooh!"

"Long live!"

The cheers one after another expressed the happy mood of the Tottenham players at this moment.

And on the same day, in the Apennine Peninsula, thousands of miles away from the British Isles, Inter Milan's head coach Mancini inadvertently slapped himself in the face.

In the first round of Serie A, the defending league champions faced Udinese at home.

The Nerazzurri die-hards don't think the Silkies can cause any trouble to their home team, which can be seen from the fact that the attendance rate for this game was only 60%.

However, reality gave them a blow. The offensive line composed of Ibrahimovic, Cruz and Figo failed to help Inter Milan win easily.

The Nerazzurri only took the lead temporarily at the beginning of the first half when Stankovic scored a goal assisted by Ibrahimovic.

This small lead ceased to exist in the second half after Cesar was sent off for a handball outside the penalty area and Cordoba scored an own goal to help the opponent equalize.

Inter Milan, with one less player to play, not only had a weak attack, but also had a shaky defense, which made Mancini restless.

"Okay, didn't you say that I don't like to use my own youth training and can't train young players? Then I will show you what level of young players you expect!"

In the 72nd minute of the game, Mario Balotelli came on as a substitute for Argentina forward Cruz.

Balotelli, who had just turned seventeen, ushered in his first career appearance on behalf of the Inter Milan first team.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. As soon as he came on the field, Bashen continued to attack Udinese's defense.

This also made Udinese's offense start to feel a little constrained, and it was completely impossible to see that they had a numerical advantage.

In the 81st minute, Quagliarella cut into the penalty area from the right and passed, but Inler's shot was blocked by Samuel.

Zanetti advanced with the ball and then passed it across. Stankovic saw his teammate's movement and sent the ball over the top.

Balotelli strode forward to catch up with the ball before the visiting team's defenders. He turned around and brushed past Udinese defender Zapata to face the goalkeeper alone!

Chimenti stood forward and Balotelli shot straight up!

The Udinese goalkeeper hurriedly turned around to save the ball but it was too late and he could only watch the ball go into the net!

Two to one!

The defending champion overtook the score!
