    Wang Feng hugged him with a smile. "It''s just one. You''ll create more in the future." Ribery nodded vigorously, a grateful expression on his face. All three of his goals came from Wang Feng''s assists, and two of them, Wang Feng had the chance to shoot but passed to him.


    The Inter Mn fans in the stands were also very happy. Besides Wang Feng, there were other yers who could score for Inter Mn, and they were young yers!


    They shouted the names of Wang Feng and Ribery loudly. The two of them came to the stands area to bow to these lovely fans.
