Chapter 569: Perfect Ending, Incredible Data Recurrence
After the match, in the post-match press conference, Real Madrid coach Ancelotti stated that the players didn't focus on taking the game to penalties but instead put in effort from start to finish, and they deserved to win.
"Except for the unexpected goal we conceded early in the second half, everyone's performance can be considered perfect. It was precisely this goal against us that made me see more possibilities for the team. Their effort and persistence moved me."
"This is by no means the end, but a new beginning!" the Italian said confidently.
Regarding Wang Feng, Ancelotti naturally praised him, saying, "I think there's no need to emphasize further; he is the best core and spiritual pillar of the Galacticos."
Six days later, in the final of the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid would face Milan Des, and the Italian believed the team would have a perfect ending, winning the league, cup, and Champions League.
On the other hand, Chelsea coach Mourinho sighed deeply, then said listlessly, "We were close to victory, but sometimes reality plays jokes on us."
"In the final moments, the defending players didn't make any mistakes. Their interception of Wang Feng was very tight and organized, but even so, they couldn't stop his goal, which is very frustrating and helpless."
Regarding the passive attacking attitude of the players on the field, the Portuguese coach candidly admitted that it was his instruction. "It's also a kind of tactic, and I don't think there's any problem with it."
"In fact, due to the opponent's aggressive pressing, we needed to expend more energy to keep possession of the ball. The players' effort was no less than Real Madrid's."
However, the Spanish national team coach Bosque, who watched the entire match, didn't agree with this view. "(Chelsea's style of play) is a slander against possession football, and it even harms the sport of football itself."
"You can't always think of keeping the ball at your feet and then go to penalties. The pursuit of goals and victory is the competitiveness of football."
"Chelsea is undoubtedly passive, while Real Madrid's active play to win the final victory is more reasonable."
As for Wang Feng, the Spanish coach expressed his deep impression of him, especially losing to him in the World Cup semi-finals two years ago.
"Wang is a player who can create miracles. If you fight against him, you must not relax your vigilance until the last moment."
When the match result was determined, major media outlets around the world urgently took action to publish news and comments.
Spain's "AS" newspaper was the first to publish an article on its official website: "Real Madrid defeats history, surpasses legend, Wang Feng!"
They believed that the Real Madrid club was already the greatest club in the world, and the only opponent that could match it was probably its own history.
But now, even this enemy has been surpassed. At this moment, the Galacticos can be said to be an invincible army.
And the leader of the team, Wang Feng, officially surpassed all the stars in the history of the team and became the undisputed number one in practical terms.
The greatest star of the greatest club!
England's "The Times" mentioned Mourinho's feud with Wang Feng, "Chinese superstar successfully avenges."
"The loss to Chelsea in the 2004/05 Champions League semi-finals must have left a deep impression on Wang Feng because it was one of his few painful defeats. That year, he also lost the chance for a third consecutive Champions League title and the annual double awards in football."
"Faced with Mourinho's ironclad defense again, this time the Chinese superstar's mentality was more mature and positive, and his skills were more comprehensive. He fiercely retaliated against the Portuguese with free kicks and a solo attack."
The article also pointed out that Mourinho, who lost the Champions League, might not have a good time because Chelsea's performance in the Premier League this season was also very poor, "Abramovich is not an easy club chairman to get along with."
Germany's "Focus" newspaper focused on the different approaches of the two teams during the match and Wang Feng's two-goal comeback.
"Wang once again proved to us that pure defense against Real Madrid is ineffective because they have the best attackers in the world."
France's "L'Equipe" praised Real Madrid and Wang Feng without reservation, calling them the "legendary club and legendary player."
The 2012 UEFA European Championship is about to kick off in Poland and Ukraine. Unless a superstar contributes an explosive performance in the tournament, it will be difficult to shake Wang Feng's position in the Ballon d'Or rankings.
On the evening of May 25th, at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, the final battle of the Copa del Rey against Milan Des began.
The Galacticos have never been strong competitors in the Copa del Rey. In their history, they have won the title 18 times, far less than Barcelona's 25 times, and even inferior to Athletic Bilbao's 23 times.
However, their opponents, Milan Des, are a dark horse from Segunda División B, reaching the final for the first time. Their strength is much inferior to Real Madrid's, and with the schedule greatly disadvantaging them, several months passed between the semi-finals and the final, causing their momentum to almost completely dissipate.
After the match started, the Galacticos quickly gained the upper hand on the field, firmly controlling possession of the ball and continuously organizing attacks to threaten the opponent's goal.
In the 21st minute, Real Madrid launched a quick counterattack after stealing the ball from the back, with Héctor Herrera quickly passing to Wang Feng. The opponent's central defender arrived to tackle at the same time, hitting him hard.
The Chinese superstar endured the pain without falling, jumped with both legs while trapping the ball forward, successfully evading the danger and continuing to charge forward into the opponent's half.
Sparks flew as he rushed into the penalty area like lightning. Faced with the Milan Des defenders blocking his path, Wang Feng used a deceleration feint followed by a change of pace to shake off the opponent, closing in on the edge of the small penalty area before slotting the ball into the far corner with a low shot.
1-0! Real Madrid took the lead!
With the first goal, the second goal followed naturally. In the 41st minute, Di María cut inside into the penalty area after a wall pass with the Chinese superstar on the flank.
His shot was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, but Ramos arrived perfectly to slot home the rebound, 2-0!
Everything was going smoothly, so coach Ancelotti planned to substitute Wang Feng in the 50th minute, but Zidane stopped him.
"Mr. Carlo, I just calculated that Wang has scored 99 goals this season. Another one and he'll achieve the incredible feat of scoring a hundred goals in a season!"
The Italian was surprised because Wang Feng didn't play for the national team this season, so how could he reach a hundred goals in a season?
After a simple check, the coaching staff found that it was indeed the case. To fulfill the Chinese superstar's wish, Ancelotti decisively substituted Morata for Higuaín, instructing the Spaniard to inform the other players and help Wang Feng score one more!
Soon, Milan Des also got wind of the news. Their goal changed from winning to stopping Wang Feng from achieving the milestone of a hundred goals in a season.
Originally, the Chinese superstar didn't care much about this data, but the more nervous the opponents were to prevent him from achieving it, the more he wanted to accomplish it!
After several threatening attacks, his efforts finally paid off in the 79th minute.
Receiving a pass from Alonso in the arc at the front, Wang Feng chased down the ball horizontally and then blasted a powerful shot.
"Bang!" The ball went past the dense defensive line, heading straight into the corner of the goal. Although the Milan Des goalkeeper made an effort to save it, he couldn't even touch the ball!
The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium fell into a brief silence, but soon it was overwhelmed by deafening cheers. All the fans were extremely excited as they witnessed Wang Feng's hundredth goal of the season being born!
