Chapter 616: Victory Belonging to the Whole Real Madrid Team
Wang Feng could finally celebrate his goals without restraint. He sprinted to the sidelines, opening his arms to accept the praise and admiration of the home fans, while his teammates rushed forward to hug him.
"It's too magical, too unbelievable!" Alonso still hadn't recovered from his shock, constantly looking up at the electronic scoreboard, wondering if he was dreaming.
He wasn't the only one with such thoughts. Ancelotti once again contributed to the collection of surprised expressions, while his assistant Zidane stroked his bald head, then repeatedly shook his hands to ease his excitement.
Klopp fell to his knees, hands clutching his head. This had to be a nightmare, there was no way a player could achieve such a feat, especially on the stage of the Champions League semi-final.
Real Madrid players cheered and ran wild, while Dortmund players slumped to the ground in despair. Everyone couldn't accept this result, especially Lewandowski. He had just been pleased with himself for breaking through the Galaxy Battleship's defense four times, but in the blink of an eye, the opponent staged a miraculous 9-minute, 5-goal comeback?
The referee finally stepped forward to signal both teams to continue the game, but he could see that neither side had the heart to continue fighting, so when the two-minute injury time was up, he blew the final whistle.
The Real Madrid coaching staff, substitutes, and staff rushed onto the field to surround Wang Feng and throw him high in the air, celebrating with this miracle player.
The Bernabeu big screen kept replaying the highlights of the last ten minutes, and countless home fans were reluctant to leave, chanting "Diwangros" and celebrating as if it were a festival.
In the mixed interview zone after the match, the Chinese superstar was naturally surrounded by reporters. "Yes, I'm also surprised and excited to achieve this feat. But more importantly, I helped the team advance to the Champions League final."
"This credit cannot be solely attributed to me. Without the active efforts of my teammates to create opportunities, there would be no possibility of a comeback," he added. "This is a miracle belonging to everyone at Real Madrid!"
Ancelotti praised Wang Feng continuously at the press conference. "He always amazes people. Some say Wang is the miracle itself. I think after today, there should be no more doubts."
Regarding the Chinese superstar's proactive approach in the final moments, the Italian admitted it wasn't his arrangement. "At that time, I was planning to substitute him off. You know, he was still injured."
"But Wang's two sudden attack goals completely revitalized the whole team. I saw the team regain their passion under his leadership, while the opponents were completely at a loss."
This view was endorsed by Dortmund head coach Klopp. "The Black Ten Minutes, everything happened too quickly, catching everyone off guard."
He admitted that if there was a timeout like in basketball, the Yellow and Blacks would never have lost. "Our players are too young, there is no talisman on the field to remind them to stabilize the situation."
"When we review the footage, we will find that the opponents were also in chaos. The defense collapsed completely, there were plenty of spaces in the backline, just one long pass could immediately break Real Madrid's defense. Lewandowski could definitely do it."
"But the players were scared, their eyes were completely blinded. They could see their teammates nearby but couldn't see the situation ahead, falling into the Galaxy Battleship's relentless pressing and making mistakes very easily."
The German coach admitted that he made a big mistake in tactical arrangements, using up all three substitution slots too early, just to give up on training for the Champions League final.
"If I could still make substitutions at that time, it could effectively disrupt Real Madrid's offensive momentum. But I underestimated Wang Feng's miraculous abilities, his pursuit of victory and determination. He is truly worthy of the titles of King of the Ballon d'Or and God of Football."
Lewandowski, the hero of the first leg with his four goals, told reporters that if Wang Feng hadn't been absent from the game, he would never have scored so many goals.
"Wang's defense is very solid and difficult to deal with. I tried many ways to break through but was stopped. Seven turnovers in the whole game taught me a big lesson."
Regarding the 9-minute, 5-goal feat, the Polish striker said he was stunned. He didn't know anyone besides the Chinese superstar who could pull off such a miraculous performance.
When Lewandowski achieved the same feat two years later, only 37 seconds slower than Wang Feng, he said it was an honor and tribute, being mentioned alongside the greatest players in history.
9 minutes dismantling Dortmund, Real Madrid's sensational comeback to reach the Champions League final, the golden dynasty continued to thrive!
Major news media around the world went crazy publishing news and comments, vying for readership.
Even the Guinness officials took the initiative to announce that Wang Feng's feat set multiple football records: 57 seconds for the fastest brace, 2 minutes and 59 seconds for the fastest hat-trick, 5 minutes and 11 seconds for the fastest quadruple, and 8 minutes and 22 seconds for the fastest five goals in a single match.
Germany's Kicker magazine mourned for Dortmund, saying, "They could be winners at any other time, but not against Wang Feng."
Adhering to a serious and rigorous attitude, the magazine specifically invited experts in mechanics and aerodynamics to study the parameters of Real Madrid's last goal, the zero-angle overhead bicycle kick.
"A bicycle kick while upside down simultaneously making the ball spin to form a curved trajectory is too difficult. Even mechanical devices cannot guarantee success every time, but Wang Feng did it. His control over all aspects of his body is unparalleled."
"This goal can be booked for the Puskas Award next year. It's astonishing and difficult to replicate!"
As Barcelona, who returned to Camp Nou with almost a forfeited game, rotated many key players, including Messi, suffered a 0-3 defeat to Bayern Munich, losing 0-7 on aggregate. The Catalan team once again became the perpetrator of a tragedy.
Without comparison, there would be no harm. Faced with overwhelming criticism and abuse, Messi finally couldn't control his emotions and complained loudly in front of the media, "You can't always expect me to be like Wang!"
"He is the greatest player, winning 9 Ballon d'Or awards and 11 European Golden Shoes, as well as the World Cup. I have nothing!"
These remarks naturally caused a great controversy. To avoid media misinterpretation, the Argentine star later posted a detailed article on social media.
He first congratulated Wang Feng, expressing his surprise at the unprecedented miracle. Then he mentioned that the Chinese superstar was a senior he had always respected and a goal and direction he had been striving for.
The two of them were competitors at the team level, but not at the personal level.
Wang Feng replied to the message, saying that there would be more to come soon and that he believed in becoming the leader of the new era in football.
This refers to the honor of the Golden Boot this season. As of now, the Argentine star has scored 43 goals, far ahead of Falcao's 27 and Wang Feng's 24, firmly securing the top spot in the La Liga Golden Boot race.
Looking across Europe, he is also among the best, with only Ronaldo's 33 goals ahead of him. In the remaining matches, it will be difficult for the Portuguese star to erase the 10-goal gap.
The Chinese superstar's remarks were generally regarded by the outside world as pointing to a "successor," but as for when the "inheritance" would take place, it would be up to Wang Feng himself to decide.
Other football friends and well-known players also sent messages to congratulate him. With the vigorous development of the Internet, everyone gradually shifted from text messages to online platforms. Wang Feng responded to each one with gratitude.
