Chapter 351: A Night of Miracles in Athens!
"goal! goal! goooooooooooooooooooal!"
"Wang Feng pulls one back for Real Madrid! The second half has just begun, and the Galaxy Battleship has breached the solid Liverpool defense from the first half!"
"Their spirit seems completely different from the first half. Everyone is fighting hard, and this attack was created under the aggressive pressing of Diarra, Guti, and Wang Feng."
"And the footwork of the Chinese superstar is still dazzling. We couldn't even see how he handled the ball, effortlessly passing through the defense formed by Riise and Agger."
"Let's take a look at the slow-motion replay. So, the ball actually passed through Riise's legs, and Wang Feng successfully confused the defenders with consecutive feints in such a short time."
"But his ball control is too strong. Whether it's dribbling, feinting, or lightly touching the ball, the strength, position, and angle are all perfect, as if there's a flexible spring between the ball and his feet."
"Will this goal sound the horn for the Galaxy Battleship's full-scale counterattack? How will Liverpool respond? Let's keep watching."
After the goal, Wang Feng didn't choose to celebrate but quickly rushed into the goal to retrieve the ball, signaling his teammates to get into position while running back to the center line. Their goal is far from achieved!
On the sidelines, Benitez couldn't sit still. He had a sense of foreboding. Why is Real Madrid's fighting spirit so strong? How come they haven't been beaten down yet?
Whenever facing a team with Wang Feng, Benitez always feels powerless. Generally, falling behind by a large margin is a huge blow to the team, and many players will collapse, leading to a loss.
But whenever facing Wang Feng, the team he is on always manages to stay victorious without being arrogant or discouraged, persisting until the last moment to turn the tide. Benitez finds this kind of defeat particularly hard to accept, so he rarely shouts loudly on the sidelines, reminding the players to pay attention to defense and planning to strengthen the defense by substituting in reserve players.
Seeing Liverpool substituting Alonso with Pennant and Mascherano with Crouch, Schuster also decided to go all out, substituting Emerson with Higuain, changing the formation from 4-4-2 to 4-3-3, and strengthening the offense.
After receiving the ball, Wang Feng pretended to go to the baseline, but actually used a Cruyff turn to get rid of Arbeloa. Then he sent a cross to the back post with his left foot.
This time, Raúl didn't miss the opportunity. He was originally in the middle position but suddenly moved to the back post, jumping high before the defensive players to head the ball. The ball bounced into the bottom left corner of the goal.
"3-3! Real Madrid captain helps the Galaxy Battleship equalize!"
The Olympic Stadium in Athens erupted with deafening cheers. The long-silent Real Madrid fans finally had the chance to celebrate wildly. They finally caught up! The Champions League title has not left them yet!
The Liverpool fans, on the other hand, looked puzzled. Their expressions were like those of the Real Madrid fans in the first half. What happened? What's wrong with the team?
While they were still pondering life, reality struck them once again. Just 5 minutes later, Real Madrid attacked Liverpool's front court again. Guti passed the ball to Reyes on the right.
The Spanish center-back didn't choose to go to the baseline but directly sent a lob pass into the penalty area. Wang Feng and Raúl were both waiting at the back post, but Wang Feng was a bit far from the ball, and Raúl was firmly marked, making it difficult for him to compete for the header.
Seeing the ball about to go out of the penalty area, Wang Feng jumped high with his back to the goal, his body lying horizontally in the air while lifting his right foot high. With a forceful kick, 'bang!' the shot pierced through the Liverpool defense, hitting the net after a moment and goalkeeper Reina had no reaction.
"goal! goal! goooooooooooooooooooal!"
"Wang Feng's bicycle kick! This power is too much! Oh, my God, does he want to break through the net?!"
"4-3! Real Madrid staged an incredible comeback in Athens. If miracles have colors, then today must be white!"
"In the first half, the Galaxy Battleship conceded three goals, and although they were not completely at a disadvantage on the field, everyone thought it was due to the gap in strength, and Liverpool would ultimately win."
"But unexpectedly, they came back stronger in the second half, while Liverpool seemed to slack off a bit, allowing the opponent to score easily."
"After that, the Galaxy Battleship, which became more and more fluent, had multiple scorers, with Wang Feng scoring twice, Raúl and Higuain each contributing a goal, successfully completing the comeback. Liverpool has less than 10 minutes left, do they still have the spirit to chase?"
