King Of World Football

Chapter 665: The Strongest Ruler of the Football World!

When the huge score of 7-1 appeared in the Champions League knockout stage, all fans and media were shocked, with Marca even writing a report with the headline "Ruler!"

The article praised Real Madrid for playing a historic victory in Germany, with the players wearing orange jerseys, as if they had ignited an orange storm away from home.

On the frontline, Wang Feng, Iguaín, and Bale all made contributions, with the Chinese superstar and the Welsh star even completing hat-tricks, making this game extraordinary.

Fans didn't have to wait any longer, as the Galacticos had already entered the Champions League quarter-finals!

More importantly, maintaining their current form, Real Madrid still had the opportunity to win in Europe, continuing their quest for Champions League glory. If this couldn't be called domination, then who else would qualify?

Marca specifically mentioned the team's "two hundred million flying together," with the former hundred-million-euro man, Wang Feng, always maintaining a high level of threat, while the newly joined Bale, although occasionally injured, mostly posed a great threat.

Combined with the improving Iguaín, the Galacticos' frontline was unstoppable, and if Ancelotti hadn't substituted the Chinese superstar early, the score might have been even more lopsided.

AS, on the other hand, featured a photo of the post-match Real Madrid players laughing and walking into the player tunnel, stating that the away team had ruthlessly secured a resounding victory at Schalke 04's home ground.

"Wang Feng and Bale scored hat-tricks, Iguaín scored one, the Galacticos' frontline blossomed, completely overwhelming the Bundesliga powerhouse, and Huntelaar's goal only served as a consolation."

"If anyone underestimated the home team and dismissed this victory, they would surely pay the price. Schalke 04 is no pushover; they retained most of last season's main lineup and are also quite strong in the entire Bundesliga."

"But the Galacticos performed even better, taking full control of the game from the start and gradually pushing their opponents into the abyss."

"On the European stage, whether it's Real Madrid, Barcelona, or Atlético Madrid, all have enough competitiveness for the final championship. La Liga is still dominant!"

Catalan media sourly commented that the Real Madrid frontline trident had shown its true power, with the terrifying Wang Feng being like a tiger with wings.

Daily Sports commented, "When the Chinese superstar opened the scoring with individual ability, other attacking players swarmed in to completely tear apart the opponents."

"Real Madrid has entered the Champions League quarter-finals, and now they can consider their next opponent."

The headline of Mundo Deportivo was "Real Madrid's German Football Exhibition," stating that the inept Schalke 04 had not posed any hindrance, and the Madrid team easily crossed them.

The three forwards were the heroes of the victory, with Casillas hardly exerting himself throughout the game, and only conceding a consolation goal in the final moments.

In addition to Spanish newspapers, media outlets from around the world also praised the Galacticos' dominant performance.

French newspaper L'Equipe described Real Madrid as "the scepter of God," winning all crucial matches, with Wang Feng's consistent strength and the addition of talents like Bale making it almost impossible to defeat them.

"Now the team can calmly face the Madrid derby this weekend, which is a key battle for them to compete for the league title."

Germany's Bild believed that Schalke 04 paid the price for their foolishness, calling it a shameful defeat.

"There's no doubt that the coach is the biggest culprit. His tactics were completely outplayed by the opponents, and the decision to adopt an attacking strategy made defeat inevitable."

"Wang Feng's skills have become even more refined; he seems to dance with the football, leaving defenders bewildered without any physical contact. This kind of attacking style can definitely prolong his peak performance."

The Times of London stated that Real Madrid's continuous Champions League defense had become a nightmare for all European club teams, and from the current situation, the nightmare seemed to continue.

"Everyone has been waiting for a long time but hasn't seen the decline of the Galacticos. Instead, they become more and more terrifying. Unknowingly, the team has completed a transition between the old and the new, with Modric and Isco gradually improving, Bale starting to fulfill his talent, and Wang Feng sitting in as the older and more demonic presence."

They felt that strong measures should be taken to limit Real Madrid, and UEFA might consider stepping in to forcibly dismantle the team.

Such suggestions were of course unrealistic, but UEFA had indeed thought of ways to deal with the Galacticos, yet whether on the field or off the field, they were almost flawless and found no loopholes.

This is absolute strength! At this moment, these people understood the grievances of the Serie A league back then and understood the reasons and significance of "Calciopoli".

Argentinian newspaper Olé commented that Real Madrid played out a tennis score, with Ancelotti fully trusting Wang Feng to achieve this big win.

"Martino and his Barcelona should learn from their archrivals. They should put Messi completely in the attacking core position, rather than sacrificing him. The fact has long proved that relying on superstars is not wrong."

Back in Madrid, the Galacticos began actively preparing for the top-of-the-table clash with their city rivals. Currently, the two sides are still separated by 1 point, and the result of the match will directly affect the top spot.

Ancelotti is a conservative person, and his coaching style has always been stable, but nearing the critical period, he unexpectedly opened up a whole day of training sessions to the media reporters for the first time since taking over Real Madrid.

This decision received unanimous praise from the media, and in fact, reporters visiting the training session did not make the players feel nervous. They were all seasoned individuals, and such an atmosphere even made them relaxed and happy.

Moreover, this openness would make the team more approachable, no longer distant from the media and fans.

Taking this opportunity, the Italian coach also willingly shared some interesting stories and thoughts about his work with the reporters. "To be honest, I'm quite relaxed. Over the years, I've only lost my temper a few times."

Regarding the reason for taking over the coaching reins of the team, Ancelotti shrugged, "Come on, who doesn't want to coach Wang Feng? Just hearing his name is enough to make everyone flock."

"I thought about a lot before coming here, maybe I need to change my way of working, become more proactive, but the fact proves that I was wrong. Now, working from nine to six is completely feasible, and I can even find time to watch a movie, haha."

As the coach of the world's largest club, being so leisurely is quite unique for the Italian, and all of this can be attributed to the stability of the locker room and players, who have hardly caused him any trouble.

"Real Madrid's training is very scientific; we pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and use various high-tech means to monitor the health and physical condition of the players."

Normalcy, equality, passion, and good relationships are the principles that Ancelotti adheres to, which is completely in line with the atmosphere the entire team wants, so all kinds of work can be completed orderly.

"He is a frank and wise head coach, and all the players, including me, like him very much," said Wang Feng to reporters. "No matter what difficulties we encounter, he always gives people a sense of calm and relaxation, while also influencing the players."

"The current atmosphere of the team being so harmonious is largely thanks to the coach."
