Chapter 103 The Return
What Roberto Mancini didn't notice was that the Sporting Lisbon coach seemed to be grinning as he instructed his players to play back and defend.

In the 8th minute, Joao Mario ended an offensive with a seemingly rash long shot.

His shot didn't even threaten the visiting team's goalkeeper at all, and flew directly to the defender's thigh and flew out of the baseline.

Guest commentator Gong Lei shook his head again and again:

"Facing the compressed defense of the Italian team, Sporting Lisbon doesn't have much to do. Long-range shots may become their only weapon they can rely on, but how much threat can a shot from this distance pose to Inter Milan?"

Yes, even if Inter Milan's substitute goalkeeper Carrizo is guarding the goal, how much threat can a shot of this level be?

Their No. [-] goalkeeper, Handanovic, was sitting on the bench, watching his opponent command the defense line, and his every move was quite general.

The reason why Handaku was benched was definitely not because he was unwell or in poor condition, but because he had a little problem in the contract renewal negotiations with the club.

Although Mancini was reluctant to change players in such a major game, the pressure from the club's top management made him have to bow his head.

Fortunately, he has already made special arrangements for the defense of set kicks.

The No. 18 player, who is thin but good at heading, has already been surrounded by three strong men!

Then, he watched the corner kick taken by Adrien Silva, directly bypassed the three strong men, and found the central defender Tobias who was ambushing at the back point!

"Oops……"

Mancini straightened his back from his seat.

His carefully arranged defensive system fell apart at this moment!

Lu Feng's reputation was so great that almost half of Inter Milan's defensive line was attracted by Lu Feng, and the rest were held back by the two superstars Slimani and Nani. When Tobias scored a header, There is no defensive player within one meter of him!

Substitute goalkeeper Carrizo... just like that, he broke through the ten finger barrier!
-
"1-1!"

Accompanied by the sound of the horn on the scene, Marco Silva clenched his fist slightly.

But he was not relieved, because this is the home court of Sporting Lisbon, and it is still not good for him to let the opponent score an away goal.

They need to keep scoring!
In the 12th minute, Nani was looking for a breakthrough on the wing, but was forced to the corner flag area by two opposing players. He made a kicking cross gesture, and then kicked the ball directly to the full-back. The football was on the calf. After flicking it, it hit the billboard on the sidelines with a "boom".

Another corner kick...

Mancini fully understood, this FMD is Silva's tactics!

The damn No. 18 player is standing alone at the far post. Should we send heavy troops to defend him?
Before Mancini could figure it out, the football was kicked into the penalty area again!
Lu Feng suddenly ran backwards!

The two defensive players guarding him subconsciously retreated at the same time!

Even the goalkeeper couldn't help taking a step back!
Then, they knew in an instant that they had been completely deceived by Lu Feng!

Adrien Silva this time... a low ball!

The ball almost flew into the penalty area with the bottom line!

Suddenly, a foot stretched out from the near post, and lightly poked the football! -
"The ball went in?!"

He Wei's voice was a little uncertain, because the corner kick cooperation was too fast this time!

And he was still looking for his compatriots in the crowd just now, and he didn't even notice whose foot the goal belonged to!
Fortunately, the replay camera quickly told him the answer. This goal has nothing to do with Lu Feng, nor is it tall players like Slimani, Tobias, and Oliveira, but from 169 midfielder Joao Mario!

Who would have thought that the first to grab a corner kick would be... the shortest one among the 22 players on the field!
"2-1! Sporting Lisbon completed the reversal!"

He Wei finally confirmed:
"Both goals came from corner kicks. Although Inter Milan retreated, there are obviously huge loopholes in their corner kick defense tactics! Director Gong, what do you think?"

"...That's right, Mancini almost arranged Inter Milan's best header defensive players to Lu Feng's side, which led to relatively weak defensive strength in other areas, and also gave other Sporting Lisbon players an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Whether he was a professional player or not, Gong Lei pointedly pointed out the home team's tactical arrangement:
"Mancini will definitely feel a headache. In the following tactics, should he continue to send heavy troops to defend Lu Feng, or spread the defensive force to ensure that there are no obvious omissions?"

This is really an extremely difficult choice.
-
Mancini shook his head, he had to abide by his professionalism.

From the age of ten, he was highlighted by coaches:

"Football is a team sport."

Today, he has already become an internationally renowned champion coach, and he also emphasized this to his disciples.

In all tactics, the interests of the team are always above everything else, no single player can override the entire team, not even Ronaldo and Messi!
When the game restarted, Inter Milan's players were obviously more active. They no longer stayed in their own half, but formed an attack group from the midfielders and began to attack Sporting Lisbon's backcourt.

Lu Feng suddenly felt the pressure around him a lot easier, and even the air he breathed became fresher, but just now he wanted to pass between the Inter Milan's defense line, and they immediately looked like kittens whose tails had been trampled on. , while quickly approaching him, showing ferocious minions!
"Whoosh..."

The two defenders of Inter Milan suddenly froze at the same time!
Just as they were getting closer to Lu Feng, Sporting Lisbon stopped Parisio who was advancing with the ball, and took advantage of the opportunity to hit a counterattack!
The football flew over their heads and into the backfield, and Slimani was accelerating from the center circle!
There is only one right back around him!
To chase or not to chase?
The two central defenders glanced at each other, but no one saw hope!

They are already too far behind to catch up with Slimani!

But before they made a decision, they saw a figure passing by, and the number 18 on the back was particularly conspicuous.

From the very beginning, Lu Feng sprinted with all his strength, because he knew that his 188 tall striker partner had never been a fast horse known for long-distance raids.

"Bah!"

With a low growl, Lu Feng's legs erupted with a stronger momentum, and he was going to be parallel to Slimani in an instant!

"Islam!"

Slimani, who had just caught up with the pass, heard his name coming from behind. He knew whose voice it was, but without any hesitation, he flicked the instep of his foot, and the football bounced from the air to the front right!

That's a big blank space!

Inter Milan's goalkeeper Carrizo abandons the goal!

Handanovic, sitting on the bench, closed his eyes.

He and Carrizo have never had any personal enmity. Whether it is strength, fame or qualifications, Carrizo cannot compete with him. The rotation this time is nothing but the club's decision.

So he didn't want to see Carrizo in such a mess.

As soon as Carrizo rushed out of the small penalty area, he saw the high-speed assault No. 18 shovel under the football with the inner instep of his right foot!

The football draws a rounded parabola in mid-air!
Even if Carrizo stretched his arms, he couldn't touch it at all!

With a soft sound of "Peng", the black and white ball smashed into the white side net!

3-1!

Lu Feng raised his fists 25 meters away from the goal!

"LUUUUUUUUU!"

Nearly 5 fans in the stands all stood up!

Ten days later, they saw Lu Feng's goal again!
Jose Alvalade's goal machine, in the 18th minute of this game, announced its official return!
