King of the start, I'm the new king of the Azzurri

Chapter 57 Empoli (4000 words)
AC Milan's next fourth opponent in the league is Empoli, who has loaned Li Feng.

As a newly promoted team, the strength shown by Empoli is not weak, and anyone who underestimates them will pay a heavy price.

As a newly promoted Empoli, their primary goal is relegation, and this goal will not change for the time being.

The encounter with Li Feng in the league will give them some "chicken blood". After all, Li Feng's former teammates also want to prove that the current Empoli is no worse than Milan!

For the purpose of protecting the players, Li Feng will not contact the media too much for the time being, so Li Feng will not appear there in the pre-match interview session.

"Filippo, the next opponent is Empoli, which is also the team that loaned Lee. Do you think you can win the game?"

Filippo Inzaghi stared at the questioner for a while, and with sharp eyes, he naturally saw the name of the newspaper on the other party's badge - "Turino Sport".

The Turin media, Inzaghi chuckled, "Naturally, we want to win the game. I believe we have the strength to achieve this goal."

"Filippo, do you think Lee will be targeted more in this game?"

There are quite a few young people in the Milan team, and there are a few that need to be cultivated, and Li Feng is the primary target of the key training.

In this away game, Inzaghi also brought the goalkeeper of the youth echelon to prevent other unexpected things from happening.

"Maybe, but I don't know the Empoli coach, so I don't know what the other side thinks."

Inzaghi's answer was a panacea, but the reporter who asked this question gave Inzaghi a chance.

So the reporters were a little helpless, but they still worked hard to dig out Milan's current internal information.

Especially the current news about Li Feng!

As the only Chinese in Milan, and also the only Chinese in Serie A, Li Feng has received a lot of attention. For fans, especially Long Guo fans, they want to see players from their country enter the five major leagues .

But the cruelty of reality shattered their "dreams". At this time, Li Feng who turned out to satisfy their fantasies, especially now the number one scorer in Serie A, has attracted the attention of countless Dragon Kingdom fans.

As the largest consumer group in the world, their spending power is unquestionable, not to mention that Li Feng's handsome face has become the target of many Longguo enterprises.

"Filippo, will Li be taken away by Juventus or other clubs?"

The next question asked the voices of many Milan fans.

Regarding the question of the transfer, Inzaghi raised his eyebrows and looked at the reporter who raised the question with a look of surprise. His appearance gave the impression that you were joking!

"Lee is not for sale. He is a member of our team and the core of our striker!"

Li Feng was defined as not for sale by Inzaghi. For a wealthy club, the three words not for sale just mean that your offer has not met the inner expectations of the other party.

But it really made them spend a lot of transfer fees to scratch a lottery ticket, they temporarily refused.

What's more, they have plenty of time. As long as Li Feng performs well enough, they will pay a full transfer fee to satisfy Galliani's insatiable "appetite".

But before that, Li Feng needs to come up with enough data to impress them.

And this is Li Feng's fourth game in Serie A, and his opponent is also Empoli, who knows him well.

At the press conference before the game, Sarri answered Li Feng's question.

But no reporter would believe that Sarri did not specifically prepare how to restrict Li Feng. As a player who played for Empoli for a short time, Sarri naturally knows some of Li Feng's habits, even if he has changed!

The stadium at the Castellani Stadium was, as always, full of fans.

Empoli's home court is relatively familiar to Li Feng, but at this time he is already wearing a red and black jersey!
In the pre-match warm-up session, Li Feng saw his former teammates, they just looked at each other and smiled, they are now opponents, the best way to welcome each other is to welcome each other with a victory.

"drop!!!"

The referee blew the whistle to start the game, and the fourth round of Serie A between Empoli and AC Milan at home was just the beginning.

"The game has started. Let me introduce myself again. I am Yu Miao, the commentator of this game, and my partner Liang Yu is beside me."

"The more interesting point of this game is that after Li Feng returned to Milan, he met Empoli, who played for him, in Serie A for the first time. What kind of sparks will this play? This is a topic worthy of attention!"

"Now let's introduce the starters of both sides."

"Empoli adopts a 41212 formation, the goalkeeper: Luigi Sepe, the central defender combination chooses Tonelli and Rugani as partners, and the two full backs are Laurini and Mario. Rui;
Valdi Fiore is in the midfielder position, and the two midfielders around him are Vecino and Daniele Croce;
Simeone Verdi is in the front midfielder position, and Tavano and Psciarelli partner as double forwards. "

After introducing Empoli, Yu Miao couldn't breathe a sigh of relief when Milan, who was the first to attack on the field, sent a precise through ball.

"Nigel de Jong's through ball, Milan's chance came out!"

Liang Yu took the initiative to undertake the commentary for this period of time.

Li Feng, who plugged in, received the pass immediately. In the process of advancing, Li Feng constantly adjusted his stride frequency.

The habit of watching the six roads made Li Feng notice the position of Keisuke Honda immediately.

"Li Feng scored the ball, and Keisuke Honda shot from the right!"

"No one in Empoli's defense can block this shot. Now they can only hope that their goalkeeper can keep the team's goal!"

"Luigi Sepe's save was beautiful, he stretched his body and took the ball straight in mid-air!"

"Milan's offensive formed in the 3rd minute of the game was temporarily resolved by Empoli."

"The ball was under the control of Empoli's players. They sorted out their offense in the backcourt. Now in this gap, let's quickly talk about Milan's starting lineup."

"Inzaghi still adopts the 433 formation, the striker trio: Shalawi, Li Feng, Honda Keisuke;
Midfield trio: Van Ginkel, Nigel de Jong, Muntari
Defense: De Sciglio, Bonet LS Pata, Abate
Goalkeeper: Abbiati;
The previous starting goalkeeper Diego Lopez was absent due to injury. This time Inzaghi also brought a newcomer from the youth training-Gianluigi Donnarumma, a young player who is not yet 16 years old! "

The current Milan is also at a time of transformation. The general environment of Serie A is sluggish, so it is necessary to consider how to use limited resources to discover more "energy", which is particularly important for the club.

In fact, there is still another way in front of Galliani, and that is to rely on Ajax!
Although Serie A has a larger volume than Eredivisie, the income of Serie A has always been a problem. They are not as eye-catching as the Premier League and La Liga, and they do not have big-name players, so their current position is in a situation where they are not up or down. Let Galliani feel very uncomfortable.

Galliani can't accept the transformation into a black shop of stars, so he is also thinking about how to revive Milan, and then he is up for sale!

In the case of Empoli's lack of wingers, the full backs on both wings are afraid to press too high. They need to pay attention to Milan's left winger Shalawi. Speed ​​and dribbling are the foundation of his life.

Laurini tried to press to no avail, he returned the ball to Tonelli.

Tonelli, who has a good kick, deflects the ball to the feet of Daniele Croce.

Keisuke Honda caught the time when the opponent was taking the ball sideways, and he pushed forward directly, and the whole movement wanted to grab the football.

Sensing the defender's movement, Daniele Croce tapped his left foot.

The ball was knocked back to the full-back Mario Rui, who received the ball and he kicked the ball directly behind Muntari.

Muntari, who was in the fight, was "fucked" by Pusciarelli, which caused him to fail to catch up with Pusciarelli.

Abarth, who made up, blocked the position where Psiarelelli broke forward.

This delay allowed Milan's teammates in the forward line time to drop back and defend.

Pusciarelli, who was in control of the ball, noticed the movement behind him from the corner of his eye. He no longer greedy for the ball. He crossed the ball and gave it to Tavano with great precision.

Empoli's continuous passing and cutting cooperation in the frontcourt allowed them to squeeze Milan into their own half.

For Sarri, his tactics were successful in such a scene, and the next most important point is also a link that directly affects the direction of the entire game, that is how to get the ball into the damn goal!

Daniele Croce gave Tavano the ball with his back through a through ball, signaling Empoli's attack.

Li Feng, who is familiar with some of Empoli's tactics, yelled at his teammates in the back line, "Be careful!"

Before Zapata could react, Tavano responded to Vecino who was plugged in. The latter kicked and shot, and the ball hit the goal like an offline shell.

Guarding Abbiati hit the ball with both fists, followed by Bonera turned and drove the ball forward.

Li Feng, who retreated, quickly got stuck.

With Li Feng's header ferrying, Milan's counterattack came!
Shalawi, who received the pass, used his excellent dribbling and technique to tear apart Laurini's defense.

"Shalawi's cross!"

"Follow-up Li Feng grabs a shot. This is an excellent opportunity for Milan!"

"Luigi Sepe's pounce is really beautiful. He reacted very quickly and quickly fell to the ground to block the ball out of the baseline. Milan's corner kick!"

Milan's chances were good, but Luigi Sepe blocked them.

The next corner kick will see if Milan can seize the opportunity.

It was Abate who took the corner kick. The left corner kick was taken, and the ball spun directly to the center of the penalty area.

Among the figures fighting for position in the penalty area, a red and black figure appeared, overwhelming the other players.

"It's Li Feng again. In this free kick attack, Li Feng overwhelmed Empoli's defenders. His forehead touched the football."

"The quality of the ejection is excellent, Milan is going to score!"

"GOALLLL!!!!!!"

"In the 17th minute of the game, Milan scored the first goal of the game with a set kick from a corner kick, and at the same time Li Feng's goal account was opened again."

Li Feng, who scored the goal, did not celebrate. He raised his hand in apology.

After all, for Li Feng, he has played here before, so there is no need for him to hurt this short-term emotion.

[This header is really beautiful, I am a little puzzled now, is this header so easy?I took a look at Li Feng's goal collection, and many of his 7 goals were headers! 】

[It doesn't matter whether the header is good or not. The important thing is that he has already become Milan's starting center at such a young age. If you think about "them" at this age, you will understand the difference. 】

[Ahem, don't talk about such disappointing things after watching a game. The next goal is to be in the top four. As long as you get in the top four, then after another season, Milan will have money! 】

[If you have money, you have money. In the current environment of Serie A, they can support at most one or two teams in the top four of the Champions League, and the rest are likely to be made up. 】

【.】

Although the time is not very friendly to Longguo fans, fans who like Milan still squat in front of the TV to watch this game.

For them who need to be in line with life, the previous love will not dissipate because of work, and now they have an "excuse" to follow and watch Milan - we just want to see the Italian youth training The Chinese can play "how badly".

However, the reality made them stay up all night, willing to take the time to pay attention to Li Feng's situation.

This game has not ended yet, it has already made many fans excited.

But after being excited, they are more uncomfortable.

The young Li Feng has scored 7 goals in four rounds of Serie A (the fourth round is not over yet); looking at the professional players in China, I really don't want to say more about the gap.

There is another thing that makes the fans feel emotional. When Li Feng exchanged jerseys with Chiellini in the last game, his abs photo was put on the football forum of Longguo.

Just from the body shape, the fans noticed the obvious gap.

They are also professional players, why is there such a big gap?

The game continues.

Empoli, who conceded a goal first, began to prevent the counterattack.

Judging from the intention of passing the ball, Empoli is eager to equalize the score. There is no doubt about it, but they are extraordinarily stable in sorting out the offense.

Faced with such a situation, Li Feng and other midfielders used their running to force Empoli to make mistakes.

But it seems that the other party has long been prepared.

This also caused Milan to consume a lot of physical energy, but failed to regain the ball.

"Sarri's preparations are a bit good!"

Yu Miao watched the ball being firmly controlled by Empoli, and he couldn't help but boast.

But Yu Miao knows that Milan is leading now, and they are still looking for opportunities. As long as Empoli shows a chance, the consequences waiting for them can be imagined!
