Chapter 304: Best of the month

After the match, Wang Feng was undisputedly elected as the best player of the game, and major European media outlets praised him with top ratings.

The Spanish newspaper "El País" believed that Wang Feng saved Real Madrid from the humiliation by their city rivals, saying, "When Real Madrid was two goals behind, the Bernabéu Stadium was in chaos. I believe many Real Madrid fans couldn't bear to watch anymore."

"This match was too harsh for the Galaxy Battleship, which was short on soldiers, but their captain did not give up hope. With his four brilliant goals, he told his teammates and the fans, 'Believe in me, I am the miracle!'"

The article also emphasized the analysis of Wang Feng's first goal, his lateral dribble past four opponents, his control of the ball at his feet, and the rhythm changes in his body, his deceptive shooting motion, all of which were key to executing this perfect attack.

The "AS" newspaper similarly praised Wang Feng's performance, attributing Real Madrid's five consecutive victories and 11 goals scored to him.

"He is like a terrifying goal-scoring machine. There has never been a player in the history of La Liga who has scored more than 10 goals in the first five rounds of matches."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Chinese superstar definitely has a chance to challenge the single-season record of 38 goals. During his time at Inter Milan, he once set a terrifying record of 50 league goals."

After five rounds of matches, La Liga ushered in two weeks of national team matches. The awards for September's league matches were also announced on the official website. Wang Feng successfully made it into the Best XI and was awarded the Player of the Month.

In the first four matches of the month, he contributed 7 goals and 2 assists, helping the Galaxy Battleship achieve four consecutive victories. No one was more suitable for the title of Player of the Month than him.

Thus, he created another historical record, becoming the first player to win the Player of the Month in his first month in La Liga. It's worth noting that legendary players like Ronaldo never achieved this feat.

Similar to the Serie A Player of the Month, La Liga's Player of the Month also has a commemorative trophy, which will be presented to Wang Feng before the next round of matches.

More importantly, Wang Feng will receive a considerable amount of prize money for this, so he once again invited all his teammates to dinner to thank them for their strong support.

In addition, several comrades in the infirmary did not miss out. Wang Feng carefully prepared small gifts for them, including a newly released NDSL from Nintendo this summer and several first-release games.

"Oh, buddy, you really understand me!" Ramos said. "The hospital room is too boring. If it weren't for the doctors stopping me, I would have wanted to bring all my game consoles from home. With this, I can pass the time even better."

Although Ramos likes playing video games, he is completely different from Genk's Bess. He is not a pure otaku. In his spare time, he likes to dress up, socialize, and make friends very extensively.

Players who participated in the national team matches gradually returned to the team. On October 15th, La Liga kicked off again. In the sixth round, Real Madrid challenged Getafe away.

In order to prepare for the crucial UEFA Champions League group stage match midweek, Schuster made extensive rotations, and even Wang Feng, who did not return to his country, was not exempt. He hoped to avoid injuries as much as possible.

For this reason, the German also specially selected several players from the youth team to supplement the lineup.

Getafe, like Atletico Madrid, is also a team located in Madrid. Their home stadium, the Alfonso Perez Stadium, is located in the southern suburbs of Madrid.

Compared to other ancient teams with a history of hundreds of years, Getafe is very young. They were officially established in 1976, known as the Getafe Madrid Association at the time, and renamed Getafe Football Club seven years later.

Last season, as a promoted team, Getafe once topped the standings, earning the title of "dark horse." However, as the league progressed, the shortcomings of insufficient squad depth became apparent. They eventually ranked ninth in the league, which was still a decent result.

However, a series of changes in the summer severely weakened the team. First, head coach Schuster was poached by Real Madrid, then defender Pe?a was bought by Atletico Madrid, midfielder Gavilan transferred to Valencia, and forward Riki went to Sevilla.

Facing such an incomplete lineup, Real Madrid still played very hard with a rotated lineup. When the game reached the 23rd minute, Getafe forward Manu dribbled the ball inside on the flank and then shot a cross.

Central defender Najo headed the ball into the net from the front of the goal, opening the scoring for the home team. The Real Madrid defense made a marking mistake, allowing him to easily score with a header.

Although Real Madrid pulled one back through Javier Garcia in the 67th minute of the second half, in the final moments of the game, Serbian forward Ponjevic seized another opportunity to help Getafe score their second goal.

1-2! Real Madrid lost the game away, their winning streak was terminated, and it was the biggest upset of this round, while Getafe secured their first league victory.

Wang Feng sat on the bench watching the team lose, feeling a bit uncomfortable. He understood Schuster's worries. The German was frightened by consecutive injuries and would rather give up this game than risk using the main players, especially after their national team matches.

However, he still felt that he should be sent on the field in the second half, which might have turned the tide. With Getafe's defensive strength, it would have been relatively easy to score goals.

After this game, Real Madrid continued to top the standings with 5 wins and 1 loss, accumulating 15 points. They were followed by Barcelona with 4 wins, 2 draws, and 14 points, and Sevilla with 3 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss, and 11 points.

On October 18th, Real Madrid faced a crucial battle on the European stage, challenging Bucharest Stars away. The Galaxy Battleship had to win all three points to have a chance to advance from the group stage.

Bucharest Stars was also a team not to be underestimated. They had even won the UEFA Champions League before, becoming the first Eastern European team to stand at the top of Europe.

The match was held at the National Stadium in Romania. Real Madrid spared no effort from the beginning. In less than 10 minutes, Wang Feng attempted to break through on the wing, causing the defender to foul him.

He took the free kick himself, and the ball floated into the penalty area as if it had eyes, finding the towering Guti, who scored with a lion-like header.

Leading the game, the Galaxy Battleship continued their attacking endeavors. In the 21st minute, Guti passed the ball to the wing. Reyes, who received the ball, quickly advanced and sent a diagonal pass.

Wang Feng, facing the ball in the penalty area, kicked a furious shot, the angle was extremely tricky, brushing the inside of the post and entering the net, 2-0!

Before the end of the first half, Raúl once again contributed to Real Madrid. He received a through pass from Diarra, broke through alone, and the Spanish forward naturally didn't miss this opportunity, helping the team further expand their lead.

Leading by three goals finally eased the tension for everyone, but coach Schuster still didn't dare to be careless. He didn't rush to make personnel adjustments.

In the 67th minute of the second half, Reyes dribbled inside from the wing, and just when the attention of the Bucharest Stars' defenders was drawn to Wang Feng and Raúl receiving inside the penalty area, he suddenly took a shot from a narrow angle.

The unexpected shot indeed caught the goalkeeper off guard, and the ball went into the net from the near post, securing the victory for Real Madrid!

In the final moments of the game, the home team pulled one back, and the final score settled at 4-1, with the Galaxy Battleship securing their first Champions League victory.
