Chapter 639: Furious Strike!
"Gooooooooooooooooooal! The ball's in! Finally, Wang Feng's extreme curved free kick went straight into the net!"
"After missing several chances, he finally made Atletico Madrid pay for their frequent fouls. He is still the indomitable god of war, unstoppable by anyone!"
"Let's take another look. The perfect curve, the excellent placement, the ball almost grazed the intersection of the post and crossbar before entering the net. Even Courtois, with such long arms, couldn't do anything about it."
"From this angle facing the goal, the view is even clearer, isn't it? What is this? It's just unbelievable! In slow motion, the ball was still flying in the air when Wang Feng had already started celebrating!"
"He actually had full confidence in his shot! Yes! It's the countless hours of practice day after day that have honed the Chinese superstar's exceptional accuracy in free kicks. This perfect strike undoubtedly gave him excellent feedback. He could sense it would be a goal without even witnessing it!"
The faithfully recorded footage by the camera became one of the most classic scenes in football history. Many later players tried to imitate it, but they could not accurately perceive whether the ball would go in beforehand, leaving them as jokes. Only Wang Feng could celebrate in advance.
This goal also severely dampened the arrogance of the home fans, and their cheers diminished significantly. As the first half ended, the score remained unchanged for both sides.
After the break, Atletico Madrid seemed to be inspired by their coach Simeone in the dressing room. In the 54th minute, the home team won a corner kick, and Ramos once again closely marked Diego Costa inside the penalty area.
The Brazilian skillfully placed his hand on the Spanish defender's neck and secretly pushed him back. Already extremely annoyed, Ramos exploded, throwing a punch at him with his left fist.
Diego Costa immediately fell to the ground in pain, and the Galacticos and the Mattress Makers began to confront each other again. This time, the situation was even more serious, with both sides almost coming to blows.
All members of the referee team rushed over to separate them. After understanding the specific causes and consequences, Alsas showed Ramos a red card and awarded Atletico Madrid a penalty kick.
"The most recent one was two years ago, in a summer friendly between Manchester United and Mexican powerhouse Chivas. Ronaldo's penalty shot directly pierced the opponent's net."
"Compared to penalty kicks, long-range worldies from outside the box obviously require greater power."
"According to the latest data, Wang Feng's shot reached a maximum speed of 297 kilometers per hour, breaking Ronaldo's record of 211 kilometers per hour and taking it to a more terrifying level. No wonder it pierced through the net!"
After replacing the net, the game continued, but the Atletico Madrid players were still shaken. Such a formidable force, if it had hit them directly, would likely have caused serious problems.
Their timidness undoubtedly slowed down the home team's attacking momentum, while Real Madrid took advantage of this opportunity to stand firm. In the 74th minute, Isco sent a through ball to Wang Feng in the frontcourt. Taking a step to the right and feinting a shot, the Chinese superstar easily broke through the defense.
He then used a dummy to dodge Juanfran, the defender, before slotting the ball into the near corner from eight meters out, further extending the Galacticos' lead.
In the end, the 10-man Real Madrid unexpectedly defeated Atletico Madrid 3-1 at the Calderon Stadium, walking away with three points.
After the match, Wang Feng, who had scored a hat-trick and pierced the net, joyfully took the match ball and the torn net, which would become precious collections in his trophy room.
The reporters naturally didn't miss the opportunity to interview Wang Feng. Pointing to his muddy jersey, he said, "It was a tough game. Atletico Madrid clearly didn't intend to play football properly; their number of fouls exceeded the league average."
When asked about how he managed to produce such a terrifying shot that directly pierced the net, the Chinese superstar said, "Sergio's sending off made the situation difficult. I don't want to discuss who was right or wrong; I just felt angry and unwilling."
"I think it was a combination of strong emotions and determination to win that led to this goal. Even I felt a bit incredulous after the shot. It seems that human power can sometimes exceed imagination."
Atletico Madrid coach Simeone didn't think there was anything wrong with his team's style of play. There are various ways to win, and he had anticipated most scenarios, even Wang Feng potentially scoring first or the opponent receiving a red card.
But the Chinese superstar went beyond his control, and the occurrence of a shot piercing the net during open play, something only heard of in legends, was a blow to the players that was hard to quantify.
For example, the last goal conceded, Gabi's timidity and avoidance were understandable, and Simeone couldn't blame him.
