But because Ronaldo and Vieri finally joined forces, and Inter Milan had cleared out "mediocre" players like Pirlo who were affecting the team's operation, bringing in midfield talents like Viana, they marched triumphantly through the league and currently occupied the top spot in Serie A!
Competition was fierce among the three teams: Inter Milan, Juventus, and Roma.
Let's get back to Wu Xudong.
This season, he made more than twenty appearances in the Portuguese league, and although most were as a substitute, one shouldn't forget that Ibrahimovic, Matthaus, Deschamps, Pinto, and Feng Te were also part of the rotation players at Sporting Lisbon.
Among them, Feng Te, Pinto, and Deschamps made fewer appearances than Wu Xudong.
Moreover, Wu Xudong scored four goals and contributed four assists in the league.
From the right fullback and substitute right midfielder's perspective, these stats were quite commendable.
