<h4>Chapter 91: Cruel fate</h4>


    After the game resumed, AC Mnunched wave after wave of fierce attacks on Inter Mn''s defense. Terim continuously directed his yers to advance, unwilling to ept a defeat.


    However, this also provided Inter Mn with opportunities for defensive counterattacks. In the 71st minute, after Santetti intercepted the ball in the backcourt, he sent a long pass to Wang Feng in the frontcourt.


    Despite the interference from defensive yers, Wang Feng pushed the ball forward, relying on his explosive strength to break free from the entanglement and sprinted towards the right side.


    As Wang Feng advanced towards the byline, he saw Ronaldo waiting near the edge of the penalty area. So, he yed the ball back to Ronaldo and entered the penalty area, waiting for an opportunity.


    Ronaldo calmly controlled the ball, facing the defensive yers. He used a series of smooth feints to deceive his opponents, then prated into the penalty area.


    Wang Feng watched closely from nearby, observing Ronaldo''s every move. Each action seemed casual but was precisely executed, without any sense of excess.


    While Wang Feng relied on his senses to adjust his movements and strength meticulously when handling the ball, for Ronaldo, making the best moves with perfect force had be an ingrained habit, requiring no deliberate adjustment. Subconscious handling was often the quickest and deadliest.


    This was the difference between oneself and a superstar!


    Instead of directly shooting, Ronaldo, after prating the penalty area, elegantly lofted a ball towards Wang Feng, who only needed a gentle touch to guide it past Rossi before he could react, into AC Mn''s.


    "Gooooooooooooal! The ball is in, it''s Wang Feng again, scoring another goal for Inter Mn!"


    "A delicate cooperation between Ronaldo and Wang Feng, with Ronaldo shaking off the defense of Helvigue at the edge of the penalty area, then lofting the ball to Wang Feng at the far post. He just needed a slight push to send the ball into the."


    "The familiar Ronaldo is back, dazzling the opponent''s defense with his samba-like skills, and assisting Wang Feng with precise passes."


    "Now we can be sure, thebination of Wang Feng + Ronaldo will definitely have a synergistic effect, greater than the sum of its parts!"


    After scoring, Wang Feng rushed to Ronaldo''s side, embracing him, and then they both saluted the fans in the stands together.


    Many Inter Mn fans were choked with emotion. They saw the unstoppable Ronaldo and witnessed the brilliant performance of the new yer Wang Feng. This was a spirit of inheritance, from which the future of the Nerazzurri was derived!


    But fate was often absurd. When the game reached the 85th minute, Ronaldo received the ball at the edge of the penalty area. He attempted to dribble forward but suddenly felt a severe pain in his thigh, then copsed in agony.


    The whole stadium erupted inmotion. The referee immediately stopped the game, and the team doctor rushed onto the field to provide treatment. Wang Feng also came to Ronaldo''s side, squatting down to inquire about his condition.


    Ronaldo, in pain, said, "I feel terrible. The muscles in my thigh are hurting like they''re tearing apart. Wang, it seems I can''t apany you to face the Old Lady. You must keep fighting with the same determination as I do."


    Carried off the field, Ronaldo was taken directly to the hospital. At this point, Cooper had already used all his substitutions, and he didn''t expect Ronaldo to get injured again just 22 minutes aftering on. Thus, Inter Mn had to y with ten men for the remaining time.


    AC Mn thenunched a fierce offensive. The entire Inter Mn team retreated to defend within the 30-meter area of their penalty area, including Wang Feng. He sessfully intercepted the opponent''s passes several times but couldn''t mount effective counterattacks due to numerical disadvantage.


    In the 90th minute, AC Mn''s efforts finally paid off, as Inzaghi scored a goal for the club. But it was toote.


    Ultimately, Inter Mn won 2-1 against their city rivals, climbing to the top of the Serie A standings with 20 points, tied with Juventus. However, Inter Mn led the table due to a better goal difference.


    In the post-match press conference, the media''s focus was on Ronaldo''s injury once again. Cooper had to regretfully announce that Ronaldo had a thigh strain and would be sidelined for at least two months.


    This news shocked the journalists present. After being away from the pitch for a year and five months, Ronaldo had only yed for 22 minutes before getting injured again.


    Mn Sports Daily journalist asked bluntly, "Was there a misjudgment in Inter Mn''s assessment of Ronaldo''s injury? Was this injury caused by the club''s insistence on fielding him?"


    Cooper responded, "This is absolutely groundless. Our professional medical team thoroughly assessed Ronaldo''s previous pater tendon injury, and the results showed that he had fully recovered. Moreover, to gradually limatize him to the field, we only nned for him toe on as a substitute."


    "Ronaldo was looking forward to ying in this game. Hemunicated with me more than once, hoping for more ying time, but I refused. This injury was an ident. The cruel fate has not spared this stunning superstar."


    The next day, all major Italian media outlets reported on the game and Ronaldo''s injury once again. Although Inter Mn vehemently denied forcing Ronaldo to y while injured, Mn Sports Daily still wrote, "Inter Mn''s medical team is obviously ipetent. They are a bunch of quacks who have harmed the alien, causing him to suffer from injuries repeatedly. I wonder if the future star Wang Feng will also fall victim to them."


    The headline of Roma Sports Daily read, "The Wang-Ronaldo Connection Is Fleeting, Inter Mn Triumphs Over Arch-Rivals." The article analyzed that from Inter Mn''s second goal, it could be seen how terrifying it would be when Wang Feng and Ronaldo worked together.


    "Wang Feng, like Ronaldo, has superb dribbling skills and finishing abilities. If the two of them continue to cooperate, all Serie A defenses will be like paper, because fully containing one of them would require deploying all defensive forces, leaving the other one in space."


    "Just thinking about this scenario is chilling."


    Of course, Italian media marveled at Wang Feng''s terrifying goal-scoring ability. In just 8 rounds of the league, Wang Feng scored 11 goals, leading the league''s top scorers by a wide margin, with Juventus'' Trezeguet''s 5 goals trailing far behind.


    "Keep in mind, it has been 42 years since a Serie A top scorer exceeded 30 goals in a single season, and Wang Feng can definitely challenge this historic moment." Turin Sports Daily''s guestmentator Darryl Lowe wrote.
