Chapter 636: Fancy Goals

At noon on September 3rd, in the third round of La Liga, Real Madrid hosted Athletic Bilbao at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. This match was quite friendly for domestic fans, as they could enjoy the exciting contest while having dinner at the golden hour of 6 p.m.

The Galacticos had always maintained an advantageous position against Basque teams. Coach Ancelotti replaced Casillas with Diego López and Alonso with Isco for this match.

In the early stages of the game, Athletic Bilbao took the initiative to attack. Susaeta, Mikel, and Aduriz contributed long shots one after another, but their hurried attempts posed little threat. They knew they couldn't let Real Madrid regain their composure, or they would surely suffer.

However, all strong attacks have their limits. In the 22nd minute, Real Madrid quickly advanced with a midfield interception. Di María delivered a lob pass, and Wang Feng, who successfully avoided the offside trap, slotted the ball into the net from 6 meters in front of the goal, giving the home team the lead!

As the first half drew to a close, Modri? played a slant pass to Bale, who, after performing a bicycle kick to shake off his marker, passed the ball across the penalty area. The Chinese superstar leaped high and headed the ball into the net, piercing through Bilbao goalkeeper Iraizoz's fingertips once again.

After the break in the 61st minute, the Galacticos once again utilized wing attacks. Di María dribbled to the byline and immediately made a back pass. When the ball flew past Wang Feng, it was at the perfect height for his waist.

In such a situation, it was uncomfortable to shoot with either the head or the foot, but stopping the ball for adjustment would miss the opportunity. The Chinese superstar had a moment of inspiration. He lifted his right leg and used his knee to push the ball forward, hitting it just right to force a deflection. Iraizoz could only watch helplessly as it slipped into the net, completing a hat-trick!

"What a fantastic knee!" exclaimed the live commentator. "Give Wang Feng a little time and space, and he can turn the impossible into possible, creating unpredictable goals."

The three goals secured the victory, but the home team became somewhat lax, allowing De Marcos to take advantage of a cross and Gomez to score a goal from an unmarked position at the far post.

However, the Galacticos quickly regained their composure and held on to the victory, with the scoreline ending at 3-1.

As September entered, national teams around the world were actively preparing for the World Cup qualifiers. The Chinese team, without any missions, played friendly matches against several other eliminated countries. However, Lippi only called up young players for training, and mainstays like Wang Feng and Dong Fangzhuo were not summoned.

During this time, the Chinese superstar planned to renovate his Madrid villa. Over the years, he had purchased surrounding land and several houses, building walls to create a mansion-like atmosphere. In the entire La Finca affluent area, he was considered a top presence.

Several renowned Spanish architects were involved in the planning. This time, a high-end apartment building would be added to the periphery for friends to stay when visiting, along with extensive green gardens. Little Siyao and Little Haoxin would benefit the most, as they could run and play to their hearts' content.

The swimming pool and gym would also undergo renovations, mainly adding some new technological equipment.

Inevitably, injuries could occur to players participating in national team matches. Real Madrid quickly received information that Bale had suffered muscle strain and lumbar disc protrusion symptoms.

As he was a high-priced signing, the club didn't dare to be negligent and immediately dispatched multiple team doctors to understand the specific situation. Spanish media that received the news went crazy, hyping up the Welsh star's "glass man" attribute.

The Daily Sports reported that Bale's lumbar protrusion was serious and might affect his career. However, the Galacticos quickly refuted the claim, stating on their official website that the Welsh star only had a common lumbar disc protrusion and there were no serious issues.

Sport World then claimed that Bale's ligaments had torn again, with a high probability of being sidelined for the entire season like in the 07-08 season. Upon hearing this, Wang Feng posted on social media to comfort his teammate, saying, "Waiting for you to come back, my friend!" The Welsh star replied, "Won't be long, just two weeks."

Whether to undermine Real Madrid or for more traffic, the media always liked to go all out to magnify and distort facts. However, within the Galacticos, after so many years of operation by the Chinese superstar, they had already formed a solid front. As long as he hadn't fallen, the whole team would remain very calm.

At 10 p.m. on September 14th, in the fourth round of La Liga, Real Madrid visited the Estadio de la Cerámica to challenge Villarreal, the "Yellow Submarine". Due to several key players just returning from international duty and with preparations for the midweek Champions League group stage, coach Ancelotti arranged for Wang Feng to lead a lineup of substitutes, with players like Illarramendi and Casemiro getting a chance to play.

The newly promoted Yellow Submarine was in high spirits, determined to recreate past glories and fight for every game. Therefore, they immediately launched a positive attack after the kickoff. Main striker Pereira broke through and received crosses on his own, testing Real Madrid goalkeeper López several times.

Their efforts paid off in the 21st minute. Bruno passed from the wing, Pereira received it on the right side of the penalty area but was tackled by Pepe at the right moment. However, the ball did not leave the danger zone, and Cani, who followed up, kicked the ball with all his might before Ramos, piercing through the visiting team's goal, giving Villarreal the lead!

Shortly after, the home team almost extended their lead. Once again, Pereira threatened at the edge of the penalty area. He passed to Aquino, who was offside, and his subsequent shot was saved by López. His follow-up shot was blocked by the foot of the Real Madrid goalkeeper, a remarkable save.

Wang Feng gave a thumbs-up to express praise for López and clapped to encourage everyone, constantly motivating the team on the field.

Thirteen minutes later, after a interception in the visitors' half, Casemiro passed directly to the Chinese superstar. Turning and dribbling the ball past the center line, Wang Feng faced Dorado's challenge with a hook and acceleration.

As he reached the edge of the penalty area, Wang Feng looked up at the situation. Then, he lifted his foot and floated the ball into the center. Isco, on the edge of the small penalty area, pushed away Bruno and shot into the net, equalizing the score for the team.

In the 70th minute of the second half, Illarramendi sent a through ball to the Chinese superstar in the right front of the small penalty area. With his back against Dorado, Wang Feng received the ball and waited for Dorado to commit.

Wang Feng first sent the ball to his left foot and moved outward, shifting the defenders' weight. At this moment, with another defender, Musacchio, coming to block, continuing to dribble was not very realistic. The Chinese superstar was about to pass back to find another opportunity when he suddenly noticed that the opponent's goalkeeper, Asenjo, was standing too close to his end, leaving the far post wide open.

So, without turning around, he used the heel of his foot to knock the ball upward, sending it soaring over Asenjo's head and into the far corner of the goal.

"Goal! Real Madrid takes the lead with Wang Feng's amazing backheel shot!"

"Wang Feng's stunning backheel shot, my God, after the knee shot in the last match, he has once again completed an unbelievable stylish goal!"

"The Chinese superstar can not only shoot with every part of his body but also create complex trajectories, making it impossible for goalkeepers to defend against. This undoubtedly raises his danger level to another height."

In the end, Real Madrid won 2-1 away, securing their fourth consecutive league victory.

At the same time, Atlético Madrid and Barcelona also achieved four consecutive victories, forming a fierce competition among the three teams.
