"Gonzalo Iguaín!" With the enthusiastic shouts of the commentators, the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium once again turned into a boiling ocean.
The Argentine forward slid all the way to the corner flag area, excitedly interacting with the fans in the front row. Immediately, Wang Feng, who rushed over, hugged him from behind. "Impressive, impressive! Scoring with both head and foot, it seems that the special training during this period hasn't been in vain!"
Iguaín turned around and said firmly to the Chinese superstar, "We will definitely defeat Bar?a, whether it's in this game or in the fight for the Golden Boot!"
Wang Feng smiled and patted his head. "Of course, Bar?a? I've never been afraid of them, haha!"
The match entered halftime with the Galacticos leading by two goals, and the excited home team players greeted the enthusiastic fans on both sides of the player tunnel as they entered.
Ancelotti followed behind everyone with a confident look on his face, which made Enrique, who was already extremely unhappy, even more gloomy.
On the surface, it seemed that Barcelona held absolute ball possession and control of the game, but in reality, they were being controlled everywhere, with Wang Feng leading the defensive line firmly intercepting the away team's attacks.
At the same time, whether the home team retreated or pressed forward, it was within their control, and Barcelona could never dominate the rhythm of the game.
"It's ridiculous. Doesn't Wang Feng ever make mistakes?"
The reason why the Galacticos were so reckless in giving up possession was mainly because they had the Chinese superstar as the last line of defense.
He was like a precise computing device, appearing wherever support and reinforcement were needed, perfectly plugging the holes in the home team's defense line.
As the second half began, Enrique could only choose to continue letting the team press forward with ball possession and replaced the out-of-form Rakiti? with Sergi Roberto.
This young player from Barcelona's youth academy had shown outstanding performance in both attack and defense. This season, he had not only played as a full-back but also had experience as a winger.
The situation in the second half was not much different from the first half. Barcelona persisted in possession while Real Madrid occasionally pressed forward aggressively. However, the key to seizing opportunities was Wang Feng's pressing.
"Alba passes horizontally to Suarez, but the ball is intercepted!"
"Wang Feng's touch caused the ball to deflect, and Suarez couldn't catch up, it's intercepted by Pepe."
The Portuguese quickly passed the ball to Casemiro, who turned and shook off the defense before passing it to the oncoming Chinese superstar.
Iguaín drew away the defense while Bale chose to withdraw to receive the ball. Wang Feng passed to him, and the Welsh star, with Busquets behind him, controlled the ball steadily, then after a quick scan, chose to pass back to Wang Feng, who had run into space.
The latter dribbled forward diagonally, then passed to the nearby Modri?, who passed it back, forming a local two-on-one combination.
Through such almost uninterrupted consecutive passes, Real Madrid quickly tore through Barcelona's defense and penetrated into the frontcourt. At this moment, they seemed to be the team that truly mastered the essence of possession football.
As Wang Feng approached the edge of the penalty area, he dribbled inward along the edge of the penalty area, moving from the right rib to the left rib. Dazzled by his threat of a long shot, the entire Barcelona defensive line moved with him.
However, instead of shooting, he suddenly turned around and with his left foot, chipped the ball into the right side of the penalty area.
Kroos, who was rushing forward, seized the dropping ball and attempted a volley, but his body coordination was slightly off, resulting in a weak shot that Ter Stegen managed to block.
The German goalkeeper was relieved to have made a save, but his smile quickly froze on his face because Modri? had already followed up near the penalty spot.
In order to shoot before the defending players, the Croatian jumped forward and used his knee to head the ball, sending it into the net. 3:0!
Enrique no longer danced passionately on the sidelines as he did in the first half of the game. Instead, he sat back dejectedly on the coach's bench.
Now, what he needed to consider was not how to win the game but how to retreat decently from the Santiago Bernabéu.
They couldn't afford to concede any more goals. If there was a chance, Barcelona also had to find a way to breach the home team's defense.
So he made two substitutions in quick succession, replacing Alves with Fermín and Piqué with Mathieu, injecting fresh blood into the team's defense line.
On the Real Madrid side, Ancelotti made his first substitution of the match, replacing Carvajal with Nacho. The Spanish defender had mentioned during halftime that his knee was feeling a bit off, so it was time to take him off for a comprehensive check-up.
With the overall situation determined, it was time to take him off for a comprehensive check-up.
In the 77th minute, Wang Feng once again accurately intercepted Iniesta's pass to Suárez and launched a counterattack for Real Madrid.
After quickly passing the halfway line, the ball was distributed to Kroos, who then passed it to Modri?, who in turn returned it to Wang Feng. The three of them formed a triangular run that pierced through Barcelona's defense like an arrow.
On the left side of the penalty area outside the box, Kroos lifted his leg as if to fake a shot, causing Fermín to dive to block, but instead, he pushed the ball to his side and Wang Feng, who followed up, unleashed a powerful shot from the edge of the penalty area.
"Boom!" The ball flew like a meteor, drawing a beautiful rainbow in the air, and after grazing Ter Stegen's fingertips, it went into the net off the crossbar.
"Gooooooooooooooal! It's in! It's in!"
"Wang Feng scores his first goal of the century derby in this match!"
"Although he hasn't scored as prolifically as in previous seasons, no one can deny the outstanding contributions of the Chinese superstar!"
"Whether it's intercepting in defense or organizing counterattacks, he has shown us how a true core player steps up to help the team in crucial moments!"
"With the score now at 4:0, it's another slaughter, as the Galacticos thrash Barcelona at their own home ground."
"Although Real Madrid played relatively conservatively tonight at the Santiago Bernabéu, spending most of the time in a defensive posture."
"But they were resolute and their goal was clear. According to the attacking heatmap, Barcelona's back-passing for most of the time was futile."
"In the area near the Galacticos' penalty box, the away team mostly passed sideways, and almost all threatening through passes were intercepted."
"At the same time, Real Madrid's counterattacks were also very fast and efficient, with no wasted touches."
"Just like the goal just now, Modri?, Kroos, and Wang Feng advanced through consecutive passes, quickly reaching the frontcourt."
"Even when the ball is not at their feet, the three will think about how to run forward and pull the defensive line. This relentless momentum is truly moving."
When Wang Feng scored, the entire Santiago Bernabéu Stadium chanted his name, and the home team fans felt particularly satisfied.
How could the century derby be without the brilliance of the Chinese superstar?
Although everyone understood and appreciated Wang Feng's outstanding contributions in defense, they still hoped he could score goals.
In the final moments, Barcelona had completely lost control of the game. They controlled the ball dejectedly, but the rhythm was always in the hands of Real Madrid.
In the 85th minute, once again, the Chinese superstar pressed forward and intercepted Iniesta's ball, then quickly pushed forward and passed it to Bale on the wing.
Bale advanced to the vicinity of the penalty area and passed back to Modri?, who then sent a diagonal pass into the heart of the defense.
Substitute Nacho, who had entered unexpectedly, ran all the way to the far post inside the penalty area, and taking advantage of the fact that the Barcelona defense was focused on the midfielders and forwards, he darted out and stabbed the ball into the net.
5:0!
