King Of World Football

Chapter 203: Unstoppable

After experiencing two weeks of national team matches, Serie A reignited its flames as Inter Milan challenged Brescia away in the 6th round.

The match began with Inter Milan not in the best shape, as most players were fatigued from shuttling between national teams and clubs.

However, Wang Feng's lively performance still proved effective. In the 31st minute of the first half, after dribbling past two defenders in the opponent's half, he penetrated the penalty area and scored the opening goal with a low-angle shot.

After the break, a cross from Ribery on the right was met by Wang Feng's run from behind, doubling Inter Milan's lead to 2-0!

Then, in the 71st minute, it was Wang Feng again near the top of the penalty area, dribbling to his right before unleashing a powerful shot to seal the victory for Inter Milan.

A hat-trick! The league's first hat-trick came surprisingly quickly!

Inter Milan secured a 3-0 victory over Brescia, showing a clear gap in strength between the two sides.

Four days later, in the third round of the Champions League group stage, Inter Milan hosted Club Brugge. After more than two years, Wang Feng faced a Belgian team again, evoking some nostalgia as many familiar faces from his past opponents were no longer present.

In the first half, Wang Feng received Ribery's pass to score a goal for the team, and then assisted Vieri for another.

Leading by two goals, Inter Milan substituted Wang Feng and other key players in the second half, while Club Brugge fought back and scored a goal before the final whistle.

2-1! Inter Milan defeated Club Brugge, achieving three consecutive victories in the Champions League group stage.

On October 27th, in the 7th round of Serie A, Inter Milan hosted Roma at the San Siro, a match directly affecting the standings.

Just 8 minutes into the game, Inter Milan earned a corner. When Sanetti delivered the ball into the penalty area, the team's movement caused chaos, allowing Vieri to head the ball onto the crossbar, where Wang Feng, suddenly emerging from the crowd, tapped in the rebound.

However, in the 25th minute, Roma attacked, with Totti's chip pass finding Casano in the penalty area, equalizing the score. Casano's form this season was exceptionally hot.

Near the end of the first half, Ribery's exquisite lob found Wang Feng in the penalty area, who controlled the ball with his chest before volleying with his left foot past Pellegrini's outstretched fingers.

Entering the second half with a lead, Inter Milan continued their good form. In the 67th minute, it was Wang Feng's turn to shine, as he broke through Samuel on the wing before crossing to Dalma, who had no one to mark him at the far post.

Dalma naturally seized the opportunity to help Inter Milan expand their lead, scoring his first goal of the season.

Roma didn't give up, finally scoring in the 85th minute from a free-kick by captain Totti. But it was too late as Inter Milan ultimately won 3-2, overtaking them to the top of the league table!

Entering November, in the 8th round of Serie A, Inter Milan faced Chievo Verona away.

Immediately taking the initiative, Inter Milan launched a wave of attacks. In the 8th minute, Dalma's feint on the left attracted the defense, and a quick through ball from Ribery found Wang Feng in the penalty area, who didn't stop the ball but shot directly, catching Chievo's defense off guard.

In the 27th minute, Zanetti's lofted pass found Wang Feng, who jumped in the penalty area to head the ball into the visitor's net.

Just 3 minutes later, Inter Milan struck again, with Wang Feng dribbling on the right, feinting past the defense before shooting from a tight angle in the penalty area.

3-0! Within thirty minutes, Inter Milan had built a significant lead, with Wang Feng once again scoring a hat-trick!

At halftime, Coach Mancini promptly substituted Wang Feng; his mission was accomplished, and the second half relied on the substitute players to maintain the lead.

Without Wang Feng's pressure, Chievo Verona posed some threatening attacks in the second half and managed to pull one goal back through Beretta. However, as the game approached its end, Argentine striker Cruz headed in a goal, sealing the score at 4-1!

A week later, in the 10th round of Serie A, Inter Milan traveled to Calabria to face Reggina.

Fielding their main lineup, Inter Milan displayed a formidable attacking force. In the first half, Wang Feng scored twice and assisted Ribery for the third goal, staging another first-half dominance.

After the break, substitute players Carron and Ramuzi also made contributions to the team.

5-0! Inter Milan won another big victory!

With two consecutive big wins and a streak of 5 wins, the media hailed Inter Milan as "unstoppable." They now lead the table with 9 wins, 1 draw, and 28 points, followed by Roma with 7 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss, and 23 points, and AC Milan with 6 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss, and 21 points.

Juventus, on the other hand, has not recovered from their early-season setbacks, currently sitting in 8th place with 4 wins, 2 draws, 4 losses, and only 14 points. The performance of their summer acquisition, the talented Van der Meade from Ajax, has been somewhat disappointing, as the Dutchman has yet to adapt well to the Serie A style and Coach Lippi's tactical arrangements.

The Milan Sports News wrote, "Inter Milan seems to be replaying the brilliant performance of last season. Nearly one-third of the league has been played, and they have already established a significant lead."

"What is even more alarming is that their situation in the league hasn't been that good, but they still maintain a strong competitiveness."

The situation mentioned by the Milan Sports News naturally refers to the issue of referee judgments. Inter Milan's players clearly felt that they had been subjected to some unfair decisions in some matches.
