Vieri Phase V: Inter Serie A Storm, pure football.
With a deep attachment to the Apennine Peninsula, Vieri returned to Italy, choosing Rome and Lazio. Vieri once said that honor is just a shooting star, but his words were full of helplessness.
Vieri scored 12 goals in the 98-99 season, but Lazio lost to AC Milan in the title race. At the end of the season, Vieri fell victim to the club's financial adjustment and was sold to Inter. However, failing to become the leader of the team and lead the team to the championship has been a lingering shadow in his heart.
In 1999, Inter bought Vieri from Lazio for $50 million, setting a record for a Serie A player transfer at the time. Vieri is therefore known as Mr. 90 billion. However, when Vieri arrived at Inter, fans had high hopes for him.
In their minds, Vieri, Baggio and Ronaldo represent victory and champions. In his first league game after arriving at Inter, Vieri gave a big gift. His hat-trick gave Milan fans a glimpse of their future heroes and convinced Moratti that his $50 million had not been spent in vain.
However, in the following season, Bacho left Inter due to a conflict with coach Lippi. Ronaldo is more on the bench due to injury, and the attacking partner is only left with Patrick Vieri struggling to support. He defended the dignity of the team with his goals. But he knows that this situation will not fulfill his dream of leading his team to the league title.
Vieri waited with perseverance until the 01-02 season, waiting for Argentina coach Cooper, waiting for Ronaldo to return from injury.
The 01/02 season was an almost crazy season for Vieri, with Inter Milan leading the league under Argentine coach Cooper, with 22 goals also setting his record for the highest goal in a single season in Serie A.
However, at this time, Inter fans are no longer satisfied with Vieri's beautiful goal, but hope that he can lead the team and bring the Serie A title back to Milan City, which has not been seen for 13 years.
The last game of the year was something that all Inter Milan fans would not want to look back on, and with a win away to Lazio, they would have won that year's league title. When Vieri scored a goal, they thought the trophy was already in their hands, but Inzaghi Jr. ended up locking the score at 4-2 and Vieri's dreams were once again elusive. While Ronaldo is sad and crying off the pitch, Vieri is still fighting hard for his dreams. Perhaps he knew that his dream of leading the team to a championship had been shattered, but his persistence made him not believe in the dashed hope that he had as a child.
