Chapter 325: Please fight !

"The 100 Million Savior Saves the Galaxy Battleship, Two Goals in Two Minutes Stun the Bernabéu!" The day after the match, Marca published the details of the game on the front page.

They believed that Real Madrid was on the brink of elimination, but Wang Feng's two goals before the final whistle reignited their hopes of advancing. "If they were to head to the Allianz Arena with a 0-2 defeat, the Galaxy Battleship would face an irreversible hell. They could very likely repeat the tragedy of the past two years, being knocked out of the Champions League Round of 16."

"But Wang Feng's two goals before the final whistle saved everything, completely changing the situation for the next game. Although the Galaxy Battleship still faces the disadvantage of conceding at home, the morale has returned to the players, and they still have the strength to fight."

The report also analyzed the two goals conceded, stating, "With the new signings unable to play, Schuster has made the best arrangements. The main reason for Real Madrid conceding was their mentality issue; they were afraid of repeating the past mistakes, resulting in playing disorderly for a long time."

"As long as the players can maintain the fighting spirit they showed in the final moments of this game in the next leg, they will definitely break the curse and return to the Champions League quarterfinals!"

As for As, they reported the game with the headline "Wang Feng Shines at the Bernabéu, Turns the Tide and Saves Real Madrid!" The article highly praised Wang Feng's role at critical moments.

"When all the players were in a slump, the team needed a leader to step up, and Wang Feng did not disappoint the club president Florentino's trust. He truly did what a 'captain' should do."

"We noticed that the president of Real Madrid left the Bernabéu with a smile. This game probably meant more to him than just a Champions League knockout match. Florentino will continue to cultivate Wang Feng as the team's most important player."

Meanwhile, in Germany, many media outlets expressed regret for Bayern's draw. Bild believed that Bayern almost secured their spot in the next round but made some mistakes at the last moment.

"When the first goal was conceded, the players hadn't fully adjusted yet, and Real Madrid immediately began high pressing. Their strategy was very successful, leading to the second goal."

"Here we noticed a detail: before Bayern's kickoff, what did Wang Feng say to his teammates? They only started aggressively pressing after the kickoff, so was this strategy Wang Feng's idea? If so, he not only has superb skills but also outstanding tactical vision on the field."

However, the article also pointed out that Bayern still holds the initiative to advance. As long as they secure a draw with fewer than two goals conceded at the Allianz Arena, they can safely advance.

For the Bundesliga powerhouse, this is not a very difficult task. From January until now, they have only conceded three goals at home, and the Allianz Arena is just as formidable as the Bernabéu.

After drawing with Bayern at home, head coach Schuster clearly felt a change in the team's atmosphere. The players all had a strong desire to release their frustrations from the past few years and re-enter the quarterfinals.

But before facing Bayern again, they have two more league games to play. Currently, although they are ranked first in the standings, the gap with Barcelona is not significant, and just one game could reverse the situation.

For this, Wang Feng specifically approached the German coach to express his willingness: "Coach, my body is completely fine. Let me keep playing!"

This was the second time Wang Feng volunteered. Normally, he wouldn't question the coaching staff's arrangements, but when it came to championship honors, he would unreservedly step up, showing his strong desire for victory. Schuster agreed to his request.

Four days later, in the 24th round of La Liga, Real Madrid visited the Calderón Stadium to challenge their city rivals Atlético Madrid.

This was destined to be an intense game, amidst the cheers and jeers of fifty thousand Atlético fans, both teams played with great intensity, and the referee's whistle constantly sounded.

In the 21st minute of the game, Wang Feng received a through ball from Diarra on the left and dribbled into the penalty area, evading Costinha and Pernía's tackles, and went straight to face goalkeeper Cuéllar.

But instead of choosing to shoot, he made a back-pass to Raúl on the right, who was unmarked and hammered the ball into the net with a powerful shot, opening the scoring for the home team.

Atlético equalized in the 37th minute when Agüero's shot in the penalty area hit Ramos' shoulder, and the referee awarded the home team a penalty, which the Argentine converted with ease.

In the 65th minute of the second half, Real Madrid launched a quick counterattack after winning the ball in their own half. Diarra's long pass found Wang Feng in the frontcourt, and as he ran farther, the defender Cetarti could only foul him from behind.

This earned Real Madrid a free kick in a position thirty meters from the goal. Wang Feng rubbed his leg and decided to take the free kick himself. "Your foul was a mistake, only bringing about conceding a goal for the team!" Passing by Cetarti, the Chinese said in a deep and powerful voice.

Wang Feng never spoke empty words! He slowly retreated, then, as soon as the referee blew his whistle, he started his run-up and shot! The ball soared past the wall and into the penalty area, too fast for Cuéllar to make a save, and it crashed into the net.

With this crucial goal, Real Madrid defeated Atlético 2-1 away.

On March 5, 2007, in the 25th round of La Liga, Real Madrid welcomed Getafe at home.

In the 19th minute of the game, Real Madrid launched an attack from the right flank. Reyes sent a straight pass into the right rib of the penalty area, and Wang Feng quickly made a run, using his right foot to chip the ball into the far corner of the goal, opening the scoring for the home team.

Leading by one goal, the Galaxy Battleship continued to press Getafe. In the 33rd minute, Guti danced past the opposing center-back Celestini and then sent a straight pass into the penalty area.

Wang Feng outmuscled Spanish defender Pulido to poke the ball into the net, once again piercing through goalkeeper Luis García's hands, widening the score to 2-0.

With a two-goal lead, the entire Real Madrid team was even more morale-boosted, firmly controlling the situation on the field. In the second half, there were no significant changes.

In the 67th minute, Wang Feng initiated an attack from the right flank. He used a fantastic turn to shake off Pareja's tackle, then passed horizontally to Raúl in the penalty area.

Raúl, facing away from the goal, couldn't turn around easily, so he seized the opportunity to make a nutmeg pass to the advancing Guti, who scored again with ease.

In the end, the Galaxy Battleship defeated Getafe 3-0, extending their winning streak in the league to eight matches.

Meanwhile, Barcelona continued their winning streak, with Messi returning from injury and showing strong form, scoring consecutive goals to help the team defeat Athletic Bilbao and Sevilla.

This Argentine youngster, who is not yet 20 years old, has contributed 13 goals this season, second only to Eto'o's 16, and even ahead of Ronaldinho, who has scored 10 goals.

After this match, the gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona in the league standings remained at 3 points. The upcoming matches are crucial, as they will face Bayern and Barcelona consecutively within a week, both away games, making it a veritable journey of death.
