Chapter 303: Viana, take off
Schmeichel was intimidated and unable to prevent the goal from happening.
"One to two! You can always trust Vieri! β
"Inter Milan finally got on the scoresheet! Their form has returned! β
"The whole Alvalad stadium was silent and the fans were completely stunned by Vieri!"
"This is the club with the most superstars in the world, this is Inter Milan!"
The commentary is extremely exciting.
The sense of loss that Inter fans felt from falling from the Champions League to the Europa League has finally dissipated somewhat.
Then the players of Inter Milan played more actively, attacking frequently.
Sporting Lisbon's defence was shaky, with Mateus in central defence and Didier Deschamps stepping back, essentially forming a back five.
If you continue to defend like this for another ten minutes, Sporting Lisbon will probably have to concede a goal.
However......
Fifty-fifth minute.
Viana hit the wall on the left side and drove straight into Ronaldo with the ball, and after he advanced on the left rib, he distributed the ball to Deng Kai and pulled the side directly.
Deng Kai hit the wall and gave the football to Viana's feet.
Viana faced Inter Milan captain Zanetti, untimid, with a shake of his ankle, and sprinted down...... Rushed half a step and pulled back, and cut the ball laterally.
Viana shook Zanetti alive and completed the incut.
Seedorf, who was supposed to help defend, had not yet retreated to the center circle, and he was too eager to attack.
Eventually, Zanetti was fouled behind and gave Viana a well-placed free-kick.
Normally, a free-kick should be taken by Quaresma.
But he didn't have a good foot today, and the ball was on the left side, so he didn't bother to come over.
Viana took the free-kick himself.
With a kick, the ball slid out of a wonderful curve......
βGOALοΌ Viana! Incredible! Viana scores from a free-kick! β
"It's him again, it's him again! This Portuguese is simply insane! β
"Really! He's definitely a community of Figo and Rui Costa! He shines even brighter than the previous SimΓ£o! β
Until now, Inter Milan still looked at Viana with appreciation.
I didn't notice that the score had come to three to one.
And soon, the Inter players told everyone why the Inter fans have this confidence.
Seventy-first minute.
Farinos crosses from below, Vieri resists Font in the box and hits the goal with a perfect kick.
Schmeichel made a brilliant save this time and bravely denied the goal.
However, the Chinese boy Recoba scored a supplementary shot to help the team chase another goal.
Two to three!
"Recoba has lived up to Moratti's trust! He was never a superstar on the team, but his loyalty to Inter Milan earned him the world's No. 1 annual salary! β
"It is said that Moratti paid Recoba a salary of five million pounds a year! That's more than Vieri's salary! β
In an era when transfer prices were still status symbols, salary was important, but not so important.
At the very least, many superstars and club executives in recent years have ignored the impact of salary on the internal atmosphere of the team.
Inter Milan has so many superstars, but the team's record is like mud, in addition to the lack of a high-level manager, the dressing room problems caused by the imbalance in salary and other aspects are also a very important reason.
"Oh, Trigra started to make substitutions, he replaced Deschamps with young midfielder Pepe, who couldn't run. Drogba was then replaced with Swedish centre-forward Ibrahimovic. β
"What? Quaresma was also replaced! He looked displeased, but his performance today was really not good. Quaresma was replaced not by striker Pinto, but by another defensive midfielder, Paulo Bento. β
"It seems that Sporting Lisbon want to hold on to the 3-2 scoreline, but it will definitely be difficult because Vieri has not scored today! In many cases, Vieri came on the pitch and it meant that Inter Milan had a 1-0 scoreline. β
In the 77th minute, Mateus made a back-up interception.
Seedorf's straight plug failed to fool him.
Mateus passed the football to Dunkai, who came to pick him up.
Deng Kai transferred to Cristiano Ronaldo, who retreated from the left.
Cristiano Ronaldo passes the ball to Viana and pulls it for him.
Viana faked successfully under the pull of Cristiano Ronaldo, and once again completed the advance in the middle.
In the face of the interception, Viana distributed the ball to the retreating Ibrahimovic.
Ibrahimovic found Deng Kai separately.
Deng Kai kicked over the top and plugged it straight!
Viana has made his way into the penalty area.
A series of passes and connections, Sporting Lisbon is terrifying in fluidity.
Viana and Inter centre-back Blanco received the ball in the confrontation, and he was in a position higher forward, and Blanco did not dare to foul him.
Eventually, before Blanco could get on the intensity, Viana got the shot done.
Inter goalkeeper Frei made a save and was hoisted over his head by a football.
Score changes.
Four to two!
Viana shot two shots and one pass, dazzling and terrifying.
The way he plays at this moment, if a Brazilian fan sees it, they will definitely find that this guy is really similar to the young midfielder in Sao Paulo!
Unfortunately, the genius is in danger of paralysis because he hit the bottom of the pool while swimming, causing a fracture of the sixth vertebrae, and even if he comes back, it may be difficult to play like Viana in the future.
In the 85th minute, Vieri completed his guaranteed goal with a long-range shot and scored a wonderful world wave.
Four to three.
This is also the final score of this Europa League knockout round.
Sporting Lisbon defended their home glory with a 4-3 win over the mighty Nerazzurri.
But Inter Milan are not all lost.
They were in poor form at full time but still managed to score three valuable away goals. That means they need to win their next game 1-0 to progress to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup.
This is definitely not a difficult task for Inter Milan.
The game was barely over before it was played, and it was already boiling over on the Italian side.
A lot of Serie A teams are laughing at Inter Milan's loss to a small team like Sporting Lisbon.
However, Serie A powerhouses, including AC Milan, Lazio, and Parma, have contacted the sports department of Sporting Lisbon to ask about Viana.
Among them, Lazio offered 10 million euros and wanted to lock in Viana in advance.
It's true that Sporting Lisbon isn't a big team, but they are black shops.
It's not that they haven't had this kind of situation where a player becomes famous with one goal.
They know how to get the most out of a young player.
Viana was originally a star product within Sporting Lisbon, and it was planned that they would push Viana after Quaresma's departure. But the sudden rise of Deng Kai and Ronaldo has made this arrangement a thing of the past.
Next, the player that the team pushes will be Cristiano Ronaldo, who seems to be the most expensive.
But even so, if Viana is suddenly worth his own money, then the club can turn over the plan that was originally given to Viana at any time.
Portugal's rising star sinks Inter Milan! Hugo Viana = Figo + Rui Costa! γ
