<h4>Chapter 180: Invite</h4>


    The time came to the second half, and after the halftime break, AC Mn yers managed to recover their spirits andunched a spirited chase. Meanwhile, Inter Mn adopted a defensive strategy, substituting Cooper for Vieri, strengthening the midfield and defense.


    Wang Feng remained on the field, exerting significant pressure on AC Mn''s defense, and his constant running kept the opponents upied.


    Although the Red and ck Legion created several threatening attacks, they always fell short, and the score remained 2-0 until the end of the match.


    Inter Mn secured victory in the first leg of the final, and they were already halfway to lifting the cup!


    After defeating AC Mn, the entire Inter Mn team headed to Perugia, including the still-injured Recoba and Materazzi. They all participated in the final award ceremony. The league trophy had already been sent ahead, so the Italian Football Association didn''t need to prepare replicas this time.


    The final round of matches was uneventful. Inter Mn had already secured the title, so they fielded their entire bench. Perugia had no aspirations for a result and didn''t want to y seriously either. The match ended in a 0-0 draw, with the referee blowing the final whistle as soon as the time was up.


    When Zti lifted the league championship trophy again, both the traveling Inter Mn fans and the home Perugia fans apuded this dynasty team.


    Wang Feng was awarded both the league Golden Boot and the assist king honors!


    Some are happy, some are sad. The four Serie A teams that secured Champions League berths this season were Inter Mn, AC Mn, Juventus, and Lazio, while Parma narrowly missed out and had to settle for the Europa League.


    The situation regarding relegation was moreplicated. Piacenza, Como, and Torino were already relegated, but Reggina, Modena, and Atnta all finished with the same points. ording to Serie A rules, the three teams needed to y a round-robin tournament to determine their final standings.


    Modena umted the most points and secured safety. Reggina then faced Atnta in a two-legged yoff, narrowly defeating their opponents. The "curse" of Inter Mn''s relegation to Serie B was broken.


    The four promoted teams for next season are Ancona, Siena, Le, and Sampdoria. It''s rumored that Serie A chairman Carraro is preparing a n to expand Serie A, with the league set to include 20 teams as early as the 2004-2005 season.


    In Amsterdam, Christian Civu held a letter and a ticket to the Champions League final, unable to calm his excitement. Many thoughts raced through his mind, recalling the extra training sessions with Wang Feng, and their joint victory in the Europa League. These moments were the most significant in his professional career.


    Returning to Ajax with the glory of the Europa League, Civu quickly secured his ce in the starting lineup. He took over the captain''s armband from Brindisi, bing the youngest captain in Ajax''s history, leading the team to a domestic double.


    Unlike Bess and Renee, his connection with Wang Feng wasn''t as close. He simply admired Wang Feng''s leadership in winning the Europa Leaguest season and sent a congrattory message.


    This season''s Champions League drew Inter Mn and Ajax in the same group, and both teams advanced. After the matches, there wasn''t muchmunication between the two, as their schedules were tight.


    Ajax was eventually knocked out in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, losing to AC Mn, also from Serie A. Meanwhile, Inter Mn steadily progressed to the final stage.


    Now, Wang Feng sincerely invited Civu to Old Trafford to watch Inter Mn''s Champions League final. In the letter, he mentioned his hope that Civu would consider joining Inter Mn next season and fight alongside him again!


    Both Civu and his agent felt that staying at Ajax couldn''t further his career. They were considering moving to a higher level league, with Serie A and La Liga being the main targets.


    Their primary target had always been AS Roma. Negotiations were going smoothly, but unexpectedly, Wang Feng extended the invitation at this time.


    His agent, Bacalli, was with him at the moment and saw Civu''splex expression. He said, ''Roma is indeed a good tform, but they didn''t secure a European spot this year. Next season, they only have the league to y.''


    ''Inter Mn, on the other hand, is different. They''re in great form, and their defense is shaky. If you go there, you''ll definitely make an impact, especially with Wang Feng''s rmendation.''


    ''Have you heard of Ribery? He started in the French third division, but thanks to Wang Feng''s rmendation, he shone on the Serie A stage and became a hotshot forward.''


    ''Listen to me, go to Inter Mn. There, your career will surely take another step forward!'' Bacalli said confidently. Civu nodded in agreement, thinking that training with Wang Feng at Inter Mn would elerate his progress, with a world-ss striker as a sparring partner.


    Apart from Civu, Bess, Renee, and Barry, among other old friends, also received tickets to the final from Wang Feng, hoping they woulde to cheer for him. This was Wang Feng''s first time reaching the Champions League final!


    Bess felt deeply moved. Without Wang Feng, Genk was no longer magical, and this year, they missed out on Europeanpetition. Looking back, it was Wang Feng who had made Genk, and they achieved glory that seemed unattainable forever.


    ''I''ll go. Seeing Wang Feng lift the trophy will be quite an experience. By then, we can also take a photo with the Champions League trophy,'' Bess said to Renee, confident that Wang Feng would win. This man never disappointed.


    ''Sounds great. That''s settled then. I''ll call Wang and remind him to remember to find us with the trophy,'' Renee said mischievously.


    In addition to these close friends, Wang Feng also invited his family to join him. Compared to the Europa League final, tickets for the Champions League final were much harder toe by, with scalpers charging thousands of euros.


    But Wang Feng still managed to secure plenty of tickets. After all, he was the most precious asset of the club. As long as there was demand, the club''s management would spare no effort to amodate him. Wang Feng''s entourage in Manchester, including his family, had everything taken care of by Inter Mn''s staff, showing a sincere gesture.


    His younger sister and Lu Yao were on summer vacation. They were delighted to see their long-lost rtives in Ennd. This time, Wang Feng chose not to apany them, as the preparation time was too tight.


    After spending a year in Europe, two young girls traveling around Ennd with their family was no problem at all. They even went to London, with Lu Yao eagerly suggesting the idea, as she had long wanted to visit the capital city.
