Chapter 503: Continue !
Wang Feng approached the penalty area with the ball, attracting a large amount of defensive pressure. At this moment, beside him was the Spanish number 16 central defender, Havi López, with number 15 defender, Mattioni, in front of him, and number 22 central defender, Dushell, behind him.
Glancing at his teammates, their positions weren't favorable. Passing wouldn't pose a significant threat, so the Chinese superstar lifted his right foot and lightly flicked the ball with the outside of his foot, pretending to move towards the sideline.
Naturally, Mattioni wouldn't let him off easily. He shifted his weight to the left, taking a step to the left side, swiftly moving his body, like a gate blocking the breakthrough path.
But Wang Feng just feinted, indeed flicking the ball to the right, but then, with the outside of his foot, he swept the ball from the inside to the outside along the bottom, hooking the ball in the opposite direction, while shifting his body weight in the opposite direction.
The ball pierced through Mattioni's legs like a sharp sword, threading the needle!
Before the other two defending players could react, the Chinese superstar had already quickly broken through into the penalty area. At this moment, nearly eighty thousand fans in the Bernabéu Stadium stands cheered in unison, eagerly anticipating Wang Feng's skillful goal-scoring performance.
"So agile and nimble! Poor Mattioni hasn't even reacted yet, and Wang has already passed him with the ball. The Spanish defense is in jeopardy. Let's see how he handles the attack."
Facing the oncoming goalkeeper, Wang Feng decisively chose to chip the ball with the tip of his foot. The ball sailed over the hands of the diving goalkeeper, Casemiro, and then dipped into the far corner of the goal, grazing the left post as it entered the net.
"Goooooooooooooooooal! It's in! Wang Feng helps Real Madrid further extend the lead!"
Thunderous applause echoed throughout the entire stadium, and the scoreboard displayed a change from 1-0 to 2-0, with the home team leading by two goals.
"That goal was simply beautiful! From the swift nutmeg move to the final chipped shot, it flowed smoothly and delicately like running water. Every move by the Chinese superstar was just right, as if it were a demonstration."
"When facing heavy defensive pressure, Wang Feng always manages to find clever ways to handle the ball within limited space, and the results often favor him."
The fourth round of La Liga saw Real Madrid hosting Espanyol, and the outcome was never in doubt. Despite steady improvement under Pochettino's management, Espanyol had consistently finished between 10th and 12th in the league for four consecutive years.
Just five minutes into the game, Wang Feng assisted the returning Iguain with a diagonal pass from the front forty-five-degree angle to open the scoring. Now, he scored the second goal himself, which meant there would be hardly any unexpected events.
The Espanyol players were also helpless in this regard. None of them wanted to face genius players like Messi or Wang Feng, who were already very difficult to contain by themselves, and occasionally unleashed some unstoppable attacks, easily rendering all defensive efforts futile.
With a two-goal lead, Real Madrid, as usual, slowed down their attack, focusing on controlling the players and the pace of the game. Wang Feng was substituted in the 65th minute, having fulfilled his mission.
Subsequently, Robben scored the third goal to secure victory for the team. The only downside was that in the final moments, Espanyol managed to pull one back through a quick counterattack by forward Callejón, ending the match at 3-1.
The Galacticos secured their fourth consecutive league victory, extending their winning streak in the new season to eight games.
Compared to Real Madrid's rather tepid victory over Espanyol, Barcelona's 8-0 thrashing of Osasuna at the Camp Nou shocked the entire Spanish football scene. The resilient Pamplona team was completely dismantled.
Messi scored a hat-trick, Villa netted twice, Xavi added one, Fabregas scored a spectacular volley, and an own goal by an Osasuna defender contributed to this exaggerated scoreline.
"The unstoppable Barcelona!" The World Sports Report wrote, stating that despite Kaká's absence due to injury, the team's overall strength had not declined but rather significantly improved due to finding the best combination.
"Although Real Madrid has been winning, they have lost their dominance in recent years. They could only manage a narrow 1-0 victory over Osasuna, while we won 8-0, showing strength from the inside out."
They also believed that this year would surely be the key year for Barcelona's rise, and they looked forward to the arrival of the century derby, delivering a disaster to the Galacticos!
In response, the Real Madrid media naturally sneered at this. Marca even mocked, saying that every year Barcelona claims to be the dynasty team, the universal team, and always vows to defeat Real Madrid. However, they always sneakily get eliminated from the Champions League and only manage to secure second place in the league, watching enviously as the Galacticos clinch the double.
"This year is no exception. Real Madrid will definitely step on Barcelona to revive the glory of the past!"
On September 25th, in the fifth round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Levante away. This club had almost disappeared from the Spanish football scene two seasons ago due to financial crisis.
After receiving new funding injections last season, they managed to promote to La Liga with a third-place finish in the Segunda Division. Undoubtedly, the team's goal was to avoid relegation.
For Real Madrid, in order to preserve energy for the midweek Champions League, head coach Benitez rotated some of the main players, but one person wouldn't rest, and that was Wang Feng!
In the 27th minute of the match, the Chinese superstar broke through the defense from the flank, cut inside into the penalty area, shifted his angle, and curled a shot with his left foot from outside the penalty area. The ball flew past the goalkeeper's outstretched hand, then curved downwards from the crossbar, and into the goal, 1-0! Real Madrid took the lead!
Before halftime, Gago assisted Héctor in scoring the second goal.
In the 69th minute, facing away from the goal, Wang Feng received a long pass from Gago, immediately played it back to Granero, then turned forward. The Spanish defender also understood and sent a straight pass through the Levante defense.
After receiving the ball inside the penalty area and forming a one-on-one situation, the Chinese superstar took a sidestep to evade the charging goalkeeper, then pushed the ball into the empty net, 3-0!
This scoreline remained until the end of the match.
On September 28th, in the second round of the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid traveled to face French powerhouse Auxerre at the Stade Abbé-Deschamps.
Auxerre had a population of only 40,000, making it the smallest city among the major football clubs in Europe, but they had won the French Ligue 1, the French Cup, and the UEFA Intertoto Cup.
Wang Feng, fighting here, felt the enthusiasm of the home team's fans and the team's passion. Perhaps they didn't have big-name stars, but their overall performance was very united.
Real Madrid won a tough match 2-1, with Di María opening the scoring for the away team, but Auxerre equalized before halftime.
It wasn't until the 79th minute when Wang Feng received a lob pass from Sneijder, turned his body in the air, and volleyed from inside the penalty area, scoring a crucial goal to secure three points for the Galacticos.
On October 3rd, in the sixth round of La Liga, the Galacticos faced Deportivo La Coru?a at home. This team was like the Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin, achieving great success from the late 20th century to the early 21st century, but now they were completely silent.
The club didn't have financial problems, but they also didn't have enough funds to build a team comparable to the super Depor of the past, so glory was destined to leave them.
Ultimately, the Galacticos easily defeated their opponents 3-0, continuing their winning streak, with Wang Feng contributing a goal and an assist.
