Chapter 548: I like this feeling !
In the first half, Real Madrid kicked off first. Wang Feng and Morata stood inside the center circle, both making their first appearance in such an important clash. The 18-year-old Morata appeared extremely nervous.
"Relax, it's no big deal. Tonight's Camp Nou is far worse than before," Morata said with a bitter smile, although he didn't feel the opponent's strong momentum at all.
With the sound of the referee's whistle, Wang Feng quickly passed the ball to Morata, then turned and passed it back to the backfield. Alonso received the ball, while Barcelona's front players pressed forward to implement their high pressing.
The ball was passed back again, Ramos dribbled the ball along the penalty area line, then passed it to Khedira when Messi approached. Khedira then made a direct long pass to the midfield.
Morata and Adriano rushed to occupy the landing spot, with the Spaniard heading the ball sideways to the oncoming Wang Feng, who immediately accelerated with the ball.
At a critical moment, Pique rushed out of nowhere and decisively slid to disrupt the ball, preventing Wang Feng from launching an attack.
Morata quickly ran to the sideline to retrieve the ball and threw it back to Khedira. Seeing that the defense ahead was tight, Khedira chose to pass it back to Khedira.
Real Madrid made two consecutive backward passes in the backfield. After Ramos sent another long pass towards the Barcelona defense line, Alves won the header and returned it to the midfield, where Modric controlled the ball.
The Croatian midfielder dribbled forward, caught sight of Wang Feng making a run on the right, and immediately understood, sending a low curved pass.
The ball bypassed Abidal and met Wang Feng, who was rushing forward. Taking advantage of the situation, he dribbled to the bottom line and made a back-heel pass into the penalty area in a triangular shape, where Morata had already positioned himself on the right side of the penalty spot.
The Spanish youngster took the ball in stride and shot angrily, but either due to nervousness or the defensive interference from Pique on the left, he blasted the ball directly into the stands.
Due to the dangerous situation, the home fans let out a sigh of relief when they saw the absurd shot, then immediately mocked Morata with boos.
Morata himself was also very frustrated, apologizing to Wang Feng as he ran back. "Sorry, Wang, I wasted your excellent pass."
"It's normal, Alvaro, don't worry about it. Being able to get into position to take a shot proves that you're better than most forwards. Stay calm, there's still a long time left in the game."
After Real Madrid completed their first attack, Barcelona quickly responded. Neymar broke through from the side and crossed, but Messi's shot from the left side of the penalty area missed the target, hitting the post.
Just as the Brazilian was about to attempt another fancy move, Pepe decisively tackled him, resulting in the expected whistle from the referee.
The Portuguese defender didn't care and twisted his neck, smiling as he said in Portuguese, "Kid, I suggest you be careful. If your leg breaks later, you'll only cry for your mommy when you go home."
Seeing the "cruel" smile on the opponent's face, Neymar felt a chill, his calf trembling involuntarily. The somewhat inexperienced player seemed intimidated by the experienced veteran.
With a set-piece opportunity for Barcelona, Messi lofted the ball into the penalty area, but Alves's header went over the bar, wasting another scoring chance.
The two teams continued to vie back and forth until the 29th minute, when Real Madrid won the ball in their own half and quickly launched a counterattack. Wang Feng dribbled all the way to the opponent's 30-meter area and then passed it to Di Maria on the wing.
The Argentine accelerated with the ball as if to dribble to the bottom line, but unexpectedly, after catching up with the ball, he suddenly cut back inward, catching the defending player off guard, then passed the ball to the center before the opponent could react.
Wang Feng was there to receive it, receiving the ball while facing the goal, closely marked by Pique, with Abidal quickly closing in as well.
Seeing the space ahead gradually closing, the Chinese superstar had a sudden inspiration. He made a big swing with his right foot as if to shoot, but instead, he hooked the ball behind with his outer foot and quickly turned around.
Cruyff turn! Pique was caught off guard, and by the time he tried to turn around to defend, it was too late. The Chinese superstar shot angrily, and the ball pierced the goalkeeper's gloves, heading straight for the goal.
"Goooooooooooooooooal! Wang Feng once again breaches the Camp Nou! The ball is in!"
"As the match approaches the 30-minute mark, Real Madrid breaks the deadlock first with a long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area, piercing Valdes's goal."
"The preceding move was also very brilliant, Wang Feng received the pass from Di Maria and cleverly turned to shake off the defense, completely playing Pique in the palm of his hand."
"Combined with his own powerful explosive force, the shot he took was fast and urgent, leaving the Barcelona goalkeeper with no chance of making a save."
The sudden goal caught the Barcelona players off guard, but Real Madrid had no intention of stopping there. They suddenly accelerated the pace of the game, pressing high and causing confusion for the opponents.
Just 6 minutes later, under pressure from Morata, Adriano in Barcelona's defense had to clear the ball with a long kick, returning possession to the Galacticos. Modric quickly passed to Di Maria.
He advanced along the wing, then cooperated with Wang Feng with a wall pass before breaking through to the baseline. Then, he crossed the ball into the penalty area. Alves jumped to clear it, and outside the penalty area, Alonso controlled the ball and passed it to Wang Feng again.
Wang Feng continued to dribble in a small space, avoiding the defensive entanglement and entering the heart of the defense. Lifting his left foot as if to shoot, he actually used the outside of his foot to push the ball behind him. Morata rushed in and shot the ball into the goal.
2:0! After scoring, the Spanish youngster ran around the field, enjoying the boos from the home fans. Scoring at the Camp Nou was something he had never dared to dream of!
At this moment, Morata finally understood Wang Feng's joy. What could be more satisfying than defeating their arch-rivals at their home ground? He then embraced the arriving Chinese superstar in celebration.
"I like this feeling!" Morata said excitedly.
"Haha, then let's keep going and make the opponents completely desperate!"
After conceding the second goal, Vilanova finally couldn't sit still and made early substitutions, making two changes at once. He replaced Adriano with Puyol and Neymar with Villa.
The Brazilian defender had performed exceptionally poorly in this match, far below his usual standard, so the coach had to resort to the experience of the veteran. Under Pepe's intimidation, Neymar had almost no outstanding performance left, so the Spanish coach could only hope that "El Guaje" could recreate his past magic and save the team from disaster.
But their nightmare was far from over. As the time reached the 44th minute, Real Madrid won the ball in their own half, and Modric sent a long pass straight into the Barcelona defense.
Wang Feng fought for the ball with Pique and Puyol, forcing the ball forward ahead of them. Pique was shocked and was about to commit a foul by pulling him back.
But the Chinese superstar was too fast. In an instant, he had already rushed three meters ahead, catching up with the ball to break into the penalty area!
Seeing Valdes rushing out of the goal and blocking his path, Wang Feng slanted his right foot to easily avoid him, then calmly pushed the ball into the empty net at a small angle.
3:0! Before halftime, Real Madrid took a three-goal lead at the Camp Nou!
