Chapter 87 breaks history, a Chinese scores his first goal in Serie A! Early in the morning, Lin Feng got up early and went out for a morning run as usual. A thin layer of mist rose over Lake Como in the early morning. The dim street lights and the lights from the houses along the lake seemed covered with a mysterious veil under the cover of the mist, giving it a fairyland-like atmosphere. Running in the morning in such a place makes people feel relaxed and happy, as if all worries can be left behind. The CCTV reporters, who had not gotten enough rest due to jet lag and getting up too early, were no longer sleepy the moment they saw the beautiful scenery of Lake Como. “What a clear lake!” “The scenery here is so beautiful, it’s in no way inferior to the 5A-level scenic spots in China!” "Haha, this was originally the place where the ancient Roman nobles vacationed. Many Italian dignitaries and Hollywood stars have bought villas here." The water of Lake Como comes from the snow-capped mountains of the Alps. Even in summer, the water is still icy cold, making it a famous summer resort in Europe. After jogging by the lake for half an hour, Lin Feng ended his morning run. After returning home, washing up and having breakfast, I rode my bike to the team's training base early, starting a boring and unpretentious day.

The daily life of a professional player is boring. Apart from eating and sleeping, the rest of the time is almost spent on training. Not to mention that Lin Feng also increased his training volume, which made him spend more time on training than ordinary players. “It’s not easy to be a professional player!” Seeing Lin Feng sweating profusely on the training ground, several reporters were deeply moved. Most people only see the stars galloping on the court and enjoying their lives, but they fail to see their silent contributions in other areas. "Yes, especially when studying abroad, it's even more difficult!" After a few days, they had completely mastered Lin Feng's daily schedule. In addition to the heavy training every day, Lin Feng also has to take time to learn Italian with the help of a translator. If you can't master the local language fluently, it will be difficult to fully integrate into the team. After all, how can you integrate if you don't even know what your teammates and coaches are saying? For Chinese players studying abroad, language is the biggest challenge they face. I couldn't speak the language and couldn't communicate with my teammates. In addition, I was in a strange environment in a foreign country. Over time, the feeling of loneliness was indescribable. Many players cannot withstand the pressure and hastily choose to end their overseas career and return to their more familiar comfort zone in China. As for the difficulty of learning a foreign language, when Lin Feng was learning Italian, the CCTV reporters also tried it, but in the end, none of them persisted because it was too difficult. Several reporters followed Lin Feng for an interview for a whole day, but they just watched from the sidelines of the training ground and hadn't even participated in the training yet. They were almost exhausted. When I got back to my residence, I didn't want to move a finger. My eyelids were fighting each other and I wanted to fall asleep right away. I don't know how he persisted, especially when he had to do heavy training every day and was extremely exhausted mentally and physically, but he was still able to calm down and learn a foreign language. This kind of willpower is something that not everyone can do. …… On August 8, the 27-2005 Serie A season finally kicked off. Inter's first game is scheduled for August 8th. Because CCTV purchased the broadcasting rights for the new Serie A season, and the Chinese player Lin Feng joined the team.

The Serie A officials attach great importance to the Chinese market. In order to cater to domestic fans, they specially arranged Inter Milan's games during prime time in China. August 8, 28 . local time, . domestic time. Inter Milan will face the challenge of newly promoted Treviso, which ranked 5th in Serie B last season, at Meazza. Arranging for the teams that ranked high last season to practice against the weaker newly promoted teams in the first few rounds of the new season has become the default welfare policy of major leagues. Like Inter Milan's neighbor AC Milan, their away opponent this round is Ascoli, which ranked sixth in Serie B last season. This is a complete welfare bureau. Of course, because it is an away game, even a strong team like AC Milan has the possibility of failure. In the locker room, Mancini was explaining the tactical arrangements for the game with saliva flying, and he did not underestimate the opponent just because it was a newly promoted team. Although judging from the paper strength and the handicap offered by the bookmakers, Inter Milan is sure to win. But the ball is round, and until the game is over, anything is possible. "Come on, Lin Feng!" "Play well, we are all your solid backers!" Before Lin Feng went on stage, several reporters from CCTV sent him their blessings. Lin Feng smiled and hugged them one by one, then left the locker room without looking back. In the player tunnel, Lin Feng stood behind captain Zanetti, quietly feeling the atmosphere of the stadium. The players of Treviso next door seemed very nervous. They were promoted to Serie A for the first time and had to visit Meazza right away. You can imagine the pressure on them. "Don't be nervous, just play well and enjoy the game!" Captain Zanetti seemed to sense the opponent's nervousness and walked over and patted the Treviso captain on the shoulder in a friendly manner. "Thank you... thank you!" When the other party saw Zanetti, they were somewhat flattered. If it were not for the wrong occasion, they would have taken out pen and paper and asked Zanetti for his autograph. Although the two teams are about to become opponents on the field, there is not even a hint of tension between them. There is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and they have almost no intersection before, so naturally there is no conflict or grudge. If the opponent was AC Milan, such a harmonious scene would be impossible. At 15:00 sharp, the game officially began with the referee's whistle. Mancini brought on many new players in this game, including Figo, Lin Feng, Cesar and Samuel, who were signed in the summer. With the cheers from the home fans, Inter Milan launched a fierce attack on their opponents right after the opening. Treviso pragmatically chose to park the bus, trying to gather heavy troops in the backcourt to resist Inter Milan's attack. Facing the opponent's iron defense, Inter Milan's offensive battle was not going well. The players passed the ball more than a dozen times on the periphery but couldn't find any opportunities.

On the contrary, the opponent launched a threatening counterattack in the 3rd minute and took the first shot. Although the opponent's shot did not pose any threat to Inter Milan's goal, it was easily confiscated by Cesar. But this made Inter Milan a little embarrassed, after all, it was their home court, and the opponent shot before they even had a shot. This was too outrageous. Furious, Inter Milan launched an even more ferocious attack on their opponent. In the 7th minute, Figo used his signature dribbling and feints on the wing, passed two opposing defenders in succession, broke into the penalty area and shot from a small angle. Although the Portuguese is old, his skills are still as good as before and he is still one of the best wingers on the planet. It’s a pity that the ball didn’t go in, otherwise it would have been even more perfect. In the 11th minute, Lin Feng attempted a long shot outside the penalty area. The ball was hit with great force, with just the right angle and power, but unfortunately it was a little too high, and the football hit the crossbar and bounced out of the bottom line. The opponent's goalkeeper broke out in a cold sweat, and the Inter fans who were about to celebrate in the stands held their heads in frustration. "Oh, what a pity, Lin Feng's ball was a little too high!" Inside the CCTV studio, the commentator felt it was a great pity. If this ball had gone in, it would have been the first goal scored by a Chinese player in Serie A! "It doesn't matter, there's still plenty of time, and from his shot this time we can see that Lin Feng is in very good shape, and he will probably score a goal in his Serie A debut!" Because it was during prime time in the evening, a large number of fans watched the game. Although it did not reach the level of the East Asian Cup where the streets were deserted, it is no exaggeration to say that hundreds of millions of Chinese fans were watching this game at the same time. Compared with the Premier League, La Liga, Ligue 1 and Bundesliga, Serie A has the largest fan base in China. At the end of the last century, Serie A's mini-World Cup period was so dazzling that it attracted the attention of many fans. But with the retirement and departure of a large number of stars, and the increase in the age of fans, these people watch Serie A less and less. According to the original trajectory, as Serie A continues to decline, these fans will completely lose interest in Serie A and no longer watch Serie A games. But with the emergence of Lin Feng, many fans who had originally quit the game have rediscovered their passion for football and started paying attention to Serie A games again. Maybe due to limited energy, they can't watch every game, but at least they will always support the games of Inter Milan where Lin Feng is! Just like now, many people are cheering for Lin Feng! Whether new or old fans, they have been looking forward to the debut of Chinese players in Serie A for a long time. When Ma Mingyu joined Perugia, many fans thought that Chinese players could finally gain a foothold in Serie A, the small World Cup. However, they were disappointed as Ma Mingyu never got a chance to play in Perugia. Now seeing Lin Feng really step onto the Serie A field, the fans are very excited and are beginning to look forward to Lin Feng scoring the first goal for a Chinese player in Serie A! Lin Feng's long shot just now aroused the fans' excitement, and many people began to become impatient. "Don't panic, everyone. The game has just begun. There is still a lot of time. With Lin Feng's ability, he will definitely score a goal!" "That's right, Lin Feng's long-range shot is very strong, and the opponent is using the bus tactic. Inter Milan has many opportunities for long-range shots in this game. If they don't score once, they can shoot a few more times. Sooner or later, they will score!"

"I've done some statistics. Since Lin Feng joined Inter Milan, he has scored in every game he played for Inter Milan. This game will definitely be no exception. Everyone just need to wait for the good news!" This scene made many old fans smile knowingly. This person is really greedy. When no one lands in Serie A, people are hoping that someone will make their debut in Serie A. After his debut in Serie A, some people began to expect him to score goals again. There are always higher expectations that are impossible to fully meet. I hope that outside expectations will not have too much impact on the players on the field! …… Lin Feng was not affected at all, but Adriano was. After seeing the performance of Figo and Lin Feng, Adriano was obviously a little anxious. In the 15th minute, Adriano got the ball on the right sideline. As the opponent's defensive players were already in position, he should have passed the ball. But Ade chose the style of play with the most barrage of comments - forced breakthrough! The opponent obviously did not expect that Adriano, a reckless man, would do this, and was caught off guard and was actually outmaneuvered by Adriano. Although the defenders used all their strength, they were unable to stop Adriano! Adriano forced his way into the penalty area and volleyed the ball with his left foot from 15 meters away. Treviso goalkeeper Handanovic was focused and flew to save the ball. But before his teammates could clear the ball, a blue figure suddenly rushed out, stretched out his long legs, and poked the ball back into the net. The score became 1:0, and the goal was scored by Inter Milan's midfielder Lin Feng! The Meazza Stadium instantly turned into a sea of ​​joy. Fans waved their fists excitedly and hugged the people around them to celebrate wildly, regardless of whether they knew each other or not. After scoring the goal, Lin Feng ran to the corner area and once again performed the iconic celebration move he learned from Ronaldo. Such an occasion is the best time to label this kind of celebration action completely as your own and tie it completely to yourself! "The ball goes in. In the 15th minute of the game, Lin Feng's follow-up shot helped Inter Milan break the deadlock!" "This is the first goal scored by a Chinese player in Serie A. This is a moment worth remembering!" In the CCTV studio, the commentator introduced the significance of this goal to the audience in an excited tone. Among the five major European leagues, Chinese players have already landed in the Bundesliga and the Premier League and scored goals. However, in the three major leagues of Ligue 1, La Liga and Serie A, the number of goals scored by Chinese players is still zero! And today, on this summer night, this embarrassing history was rewritten by Lin Feng. From now on, Serie A is no longer a forbidden zone for Chinese players! "Lin Feng is awesome!" "I said Lin Feng could score a goal!" "I accidentally became a witness to history!" "Hahaha, it's so enjoyable. Even though I'm old, I still get excited watching it. I can't wait to go out with a football and play with someone in the middle of the night!" "Don't make trouble, uncle upstairs. If you accidentally break someone's glass, your sister-in-law will make you kneel on the washboard again when you go back." "Now, among the five major leagues, only La Liga and Ligue 1 have not been conquered. La Liga depends on Feng Xiaoting, and Ligue 1 depends on Cui Peng!"

"Both of them are defensive players, so it's not easy to score a goal!" "It doesn't matter. If I play a few dozen more games, I will eventually be able to score one or two goals!" In the past, there were no Chinese players playing in these two leagues, so there was naturally no hope of scoring goals. But now with Chinese players, when talking about the future, fans feel that everything is full of hope. (End of this chapter)
