Chapter 587: Hat-trick of Assists

"It's too brutal. It's rare to see Messi lose his composure on the field like this. He's completely blocked by Wang Feng, and so far, he hasn't shown any performance, instead making continuous mistakes."

"Yes, in less than thirty minutes, the Argentine has made five mistakes, helping the opponents complete five steals. It's no wonder he's pounding the turf in anger."

"Now we can confirm that Wang Feng's defensive ability is world-class. In a one-on-one situation, no star can break through him head-on, except for himself, haha."

"It's hard to imagine that the sharpest spear and the strongest shield are concentrated in the same player. People call him the God of Football. I think after today, there's no more room for doubt, right?"

After frequent setbacks in their attacks, Barcelona had to change their strategy, focusing more on Neymar and Pedro, but without Messi in the center to support them, their threat was greatly reduced.

Unconsciously, Real Madrid gradually stabilized their formation and sounded the horn of counterattack.

In the 39th minute, Wang Feng dribbled the ball forward from the left, and Barcelona accumulated four defensive players in that area to deal with it. The Chinese superstar saw the situation and passed to Carvajal on the wing, while he quickly moved forward.

Carvajal feigned to go down the baseline to disrupt the defense, but in reality, he took a few steps and then sent a straight pass to the center. Wang Feng accelerated and caught up, sending a left-footed cross to the middle before Mascherano.

Gonzalo Higuain, lurking on the edge of the small penalty area, volleyed the ball into the net, breaking Victor Valdes's grasp!

"Goal! Beautiful! In the first half, Real Madrid takes the lead! The Argentine forward makes a contribution!"

"Wang Feng and Carvajal formed a passing combination on the wing. The former broke into the bottom line of the penalty area and crossed, and Higuain directly volleyed into the far corner. Barcelona's goalkeeper Valdes was positioned too close to block the Chinese superstar, so he could only watch the ball enter the net."

"Let's follow the slow-motion replay to appreciate this wonderful goal again. Wang Feng attracted the attention of at least three defensive players in the frontcourt after receiving the ball."

"After passing to the wing, he moved into the penalty area to wait for the direct pass from his teammate. Carvajal didn't disappoint him and successfully delivered the ball. The Chinese superstar then surpassed Mascherano by half a body length and seized the opportunity to make a cross."

"Higuain's positioning and shot were also excellent, using his body to hold off the defenders from the side and gain an advantage for the shot."

"The current situation is very favorable for the home team. Can they really defeat Barcelona and further approach the top spot in the league?"

Just 3 minutes after opening the scoring, the aggressive Galaxy Battleship struck again. This time, Wang Feng became active on the right, receiving a direct pass from Ramos near the center line.

At this moment, Barcelona's midfield and defense were well positioned, with no obvious loopholes, and Busquets quickly moved forward to mark him closely.

But the Chinese superstar controlled the ball, turned, and accelerated in one go, quickly shaking off Busquets and advancing to the frontcourt. His fierce posture made the away team's defense tremble, and they involuntarily moved towards Wang Feng.

At least 6 defensive players were focused on him in the middle, meaning almost half of Barcelona's team was paying attention to Wang Feng. None of them noticed Luka Modric quietly advancing on the left.

Seeing the defensive line quickly compressing at the thirty-meter mark, with Busquets closely following behind Wang Feng and Xavi and Iniesta forming a triangular encirclement, and Pedro retreating to protect on the outer side.

With Mascherano and Adriano intercepting in the arc area, it seemed like there was nowhere to escape. But Wang Feng's excellent vision allowed him to notice Modric on the left.

Moreover, Adriano's inward-facing posture, ready to block the Chinese superstar, exposed a large area of vacuum behind him. So when the Croatian midfielder quickly inserted, Wang Feng timely sent a diagonal pass to assist.

The Brazilian defender, reacting, tried to turn and chase back, but it was too late when Modric, rushing forward, saw two defenders forming a closing situation in front of him. So he abandoned the forward run, stopped the ball, and passed it back to Wang Feng.

The two's wall-pass style cooperation attracted the attention of 7 defensive players but didn't notice the other end where a Real Madrid player was. Another vacant space behind! Wang Feng sent out a lightning-like diagonal pass straight into Barcelona's territory.

Modric, who was behind, successfully avoided offside, received the ball, broke into the penalty area, faced Valdes's charge, calmly aimed at the far end, and shot. The ball hit the inside of the post and bounced into the net, 2:1!

At halftime, with Real Madrid leading 2-0, the atmosphere in the Barcelona dressing room was gloomy. Once again, Wang Feng and Real Madrid's performance exceeded their expectations.

The Chinese superstar's outstanding defensive ability almost completely restricted Messi's performance, and due to his position, he indeed reduced the threat in the penalty area to a certain extent. But he also assisted, cleverly seizing the timing and accurately tearing apart their defensive line with each pass.

"We can't let the opponents rampage anymore!" Rula slammed the table heavily. "In the second half, we need to change our attacking strategy. Neymar, I need you to take on the main attacking task, and Leo, you are responsible for keeping Wang Feng close."

Neymar's eyes lit up when he heard this. He nodded and said, "I'm on it, Mr. Rula." Messi's expression was somewhat complicated, but he still nodded silently. He couldn't break through Wang Feng's defense, so he could only give the attacking opportunities to his teammates.

As the second half began, although the away team focused their attacks on Neymar, his gorgeous dribbling skills repeatedly posed threats. However, as Rula predicted, Wang Feng didn't dare to leave Messi empty and always stayed close to the Argentine.

Objectively speaking, the Brazilian did have two brushes. In the 61st minute, he used a rainbow feint to shake off Essien, then completed a wall-pass with Pedro to enter the penalty area, and then shot into the far corner, helping Barcelona pull one back.

The infuriated Ghanaian midfielder, who had been played, aggressively brought down Neymar in defense, receiving a yellow card, and almost sparked a violent conflict between the two sides.

"Stay calm, guys, we're leading now!" Wang Feng separated everyone. "This victory is extremely important for the team, we must not lose our footing!" His prestige was enough to deter all players, so the situation did not escalate further.

Ancelotti made urgent adjustments to counter Barcelona's changes in the second half, substituting Higuain for Coentrao to assist Essien in containing the opponent's attack.

The situation gradually became tense, and a draw would be more acceptable for the away team, so they kept pressing forward. Unfortunately, Neymar was ultimately no match for Messi. He couldn't break through the layers of defense woven by the Galaxy Battleship.

At this moment, Wang Feng appeared particularly patient, fully expelling Messi while observing and waiting for opportunities. In the 76th minute, he received the ball at the center circle, with Busquets and Xavi coming to mark him.

In the previous few times, the Chinese superstar chose to pass to Essien, but this time, he suddenly accelerated towards the frontcourt, dodging Busquets' tackle with a feint and pushing the ball through Xavi's legs to create a gap between them.

Then he caught up with the ball and diagonally passed it forward. Morata, who was running at high speed, saw two defenders forming a closing situation in front of him, so he gave up his forward run, stopped the ball, and passed it back to Wang Feng.

The two's wall-pass style cooperation attracted the attention of 7 defensive players but didn't notice the other end where a Real Madrid player was. Another vacant space behind! Wang Feng sent out a lightning-like diagonal pass straight into Barcelona's territory.

Modric, who was behind, successfully avoided offside, received the ball, broke into the penalty area, faced Valdes's charge, calmly aimed at the far end, and shot. The ball hit the inside of the post and bounced into the net, 3:1!

The Galaxy Battleship secured victory! Wang Feng completes a hat-trick of assists!
