Chapter 324: I don't believe in spells !
Time was slowly passing by, and the players became more and more impatient. From the 70th minute to the 80th minute, Real Madrid received three consecutive yellow cards due to excessive defensive actions.
Wang Feng continued to attempt to organize the attack. In the 81st minute, he dribbled the ball down the left side of the penalty area, then sent a low cross into the box, but Raúl's shot was off target under the interference of defender Van Buyten.
Three minutes later, they tried again, but the ball cleared by the defender from the front of the goal, Bayern once again resolved the attack of the Galaxy Battleship.
There were less than five minutes left! Although head coach Schuster looked anxious on the sidelines, he had no good way to adjust tactics.
So far, his two substitutions were made out of necessity, once replacing the underperforming Emerson with Gago, and once replacing the exhausted Cicinho with Bravo.
The German can only hope for Wang Feng now. Even if they pull one goal back, they still have a chance in Bayern's home stadium, but the most important thing is not to concede again!
Compared to Real Madrid's anxiety, Bayern played very relaxed. Their pre-match goal was to secure at least a draw, scoring a goal would be even better. They didn't expect to exceed their expectations.
So, as the game reached its final moments, the players played quite relaxed, intentionally delaying time to ensure victory.
As the digital display on the big screen reached 85 minutes, Wang Feng was panting heavily, silently closing his eyes. He could feel his heart beating violently. He had experienced so many life-and-death situations, why was he feeling anxious now?
When he opened his eyes again, the impatience in his heart had disappeared. This time, he received the ball on the right, and Bayern immediately deployed heavy defense. Instead of rashly trying to break through, Wang Feng turned and dribbled the ball back two steps, then passed it to nearby Reyes.
Reyes saw that the right side wasn't a good attacking option, so he passed it horizontally to Diarra in the middle. Diarra quickly transferred the ball to Gago's area on the left, and in an instant, Real Madrid changed their attacking route.
Gago, who had just come on, was very energetic. He accelerated to reach the ball and immediately sent a cross into the box, aiming for Raúl who was lurking inside. But Bayern defender Van Buyten's positioning was very accurate, and he blocked the ball out of the penalty area before the Spanish forward.
The ball flew to the top of the penalty area, where Guti arrived first. He originally wanted to take a volley directly, but seeing the dense personnel in the penalty area, it was easy to be blocked. So, he changed his shot to a pass, poking the ball to the right side of the penalty area with his instep.
Wang Feng had been waiting on the right side, and when he saw Guti reach the first landing point, he immediately started running to seek an opportunity to receive the ball. Just at this moment, the ball arrived from Guti.
However, he couldn't shake off the defensive players' entanglement. Bayern defenders Lahm and Lucio tightly marked him, making it impossible to shoot under such conditions.
At this point, Wang Feng had completely calmed down. He made the most correct decision, controlled the ball with his right foot and turned back, looking for Reyes who was still on the right side. He believed his teammate could receive it.
As expected, Reyes successfully received the ball not far behind him, made some adjustments, and then crossed again to find Raúl at the far post.
The consecutive passes made the Bayern defense line gradually chaotic. From the right to the left and then back to the right, the large-scale movement and the continuous threat to the goal by Wang Feng and Raúl made them somewhat overwhelmed.
Several defensive players subconsciously rushed to defend, and when Raúl saw them approaching, he jumped high and headed the ball, while on the other side of the goal, Wang Feng blocked Lucio and volleyed the ball into Bayern's goal!
"Goooooooooooooooooal!! Real Madrid finally scored!! In the 86th minute, Wang Feng pulled one back for the Galaxy Battleship!!"
"If they enter the second leg with a two-goal deficit, it's undoubtedly like standing on the edge of a cliff. Fortunately, Wang Feng stepped up at this moment and scored a crucial goal for the team!"
After scoring, Wang Feng stood in front of the goal and shouted loudly, then immediately pulled out the ball and ran towards the midfield. He was not satisfied with just this!
The teammates who had gathered to celebrate saw his intentions and ran back to their own half with him.
While running, Wang Feng discussed the next attacking strategy with nearby teammates like Raúl. After Bayern's kickoff, they would immediately press forward to force a turnover and launch another attack before Bayern could react.
Everyone nodded. This goal completely activated their fighting spirit and made them realize they still had Wang Feng to rely on. The shadow of being eliminated in the Champions League Round of 16 was also suppressed.
After Bayern kicked off again, Raúl and Wang Feng immediately pressed forward, while Guti and Reyes silently waited for their chance. This high-pressure tactic made their passing somewhat less smooth.
As the ball reached the midfield, Guti quickly stole it from Salihamidzic, evaded the German midfielder's tackle, and then suddenly sent a long pass.
Wang Feng understood and started at the right moment, successfully bringing the ball down in the penalty area. Facing Lucio, he lifted his right foot to feign a shot, and when he saw the Brazilian defender diving to block, he flicked the ball to his left foot and then shot.
The ball soared into the air, heading towards the top left corner of the goal. The goalkeeper Kahn, who had rushed out, took two steps back and jumped up with all his strength, stretching his body to the limit in the air, but still could only watch helplessly as the ball brushed past his fingertips and into the net.
"Goooooooooooooooooal! Oh my God, what did I just see? Less than two minutes after the first goal, Wang Feng once again broke through Bayern's goal!"
"His first goal completely ignited the fighting spirit of his teammates. After Bayern kicked off again, everyone aggressively fought for the ball, which made the German powerhouse somewhat uncomfortable and quickly lost possession."
"Guti and Wang Feng formed a very brilliant fast break. Whether it was passing or forward runs, everything was just right. When Wang Feng received the ball in the penalty area, everything became so simple. The Chinese superstar would never miss such an opportunity."
"2-2! Real Madrid equalized! Although they still lost the advantage of playing at home, as long as they maintain their current form in the Allianz Arena, who will have the last laugh remains to be seen."
The fans at the Bernabéu erupted into cheers when the second goal occurred. They kept chanting Wang Feng's name, recalling the club's tragic experiences from previous years despite having many superstars back then, no one could step up at critical moments like Wang Feng did. Yes, everything is different now!
In the VIP box, Florentino was also unusually excited, waving his arms back and forth as he paced around, "This is Wang Feng, this is the Galaxy Battleship!"
Balda?o nodded, "Yes, only by experiencing all this firsthand can one feel its incredibility. I understand a bit of Moratti's reluctance back then. Wang Feng always brings miracles to the club."
"He will be an indispensable core player for us in the next five years, no, the next ten years!"
Until the end of the game, the score did not change. Although Real Madrid wanted to continue attacking, Bayern retreated all their lines to stabilize the situation, and they didn't dare to be too aggressive. The referee soon blew the final whistle.
