Chapter 790: Balancing Dribbling and Final Touch
On April 11th, at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, a highly anticipated match was about to begin.
Amidst the cheers of tens of thousands of fans, the two teams walked out slowly from the player tunnel, with the passionate anthem of Juventus echoing in their ears, always reminding Wang Feng of his youthful days.
The imposing momentum of the Zebra Legion at home obviously couldn't affect the Chinese superstar at all. Instead, it aroused his strong desire to conquer. He wanted to, just like before, make this stadium fall for him!
"Wang's expression looks very relaxed, with no signs of any negative emotions," the commentator said as the live camera focused on Wang Feng. "That's understandable. Having experienced countless big matches, it's hard for him to be intimidated by any devilish home ground."
"Of course, I can't think of anything that could move him."
"Now let's introduce the starting lineups of both sides. The home team, Juventus, is lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation today, with the evergreen Buffon in goal."
"Rugani, Bonucci, Chiellini, and Sandro form the defensive line."
"Hernanes and Pjanic pair up as the double pivots, while the forward line consists of Cuadrado, Dybala, and Mandzukic."
"Higuain takes on the responsibility of the lone striker upfront."
"Manchester City also adopts a 4-2-3-1 formation, indicating that there will be intense competition in midfield. This will test the understanding and application of tactics by both head coaches."
"Alright, we can see that Juventus has won the kickoff for the first half. Both teams' players have already taken their positions, waiting for the final instructions from the main referee."
Whistle! The crisp whistle sounded right on time, and Higuain passed the ball to Dybala, who then passed it back to the defense.
Khedira was undoubtedly an experienced defensive midfielder, but facing the world's strongest attacker alone, he felt somewhat overwhelmed.
Wang Feng gently flicked the ball to the right with his right foot, trying to bypass Khedira. Naturally, Khedira wouldn't let him do as he wished and extended his right foot to block the path while attempting to intercept.
But at this moment, the Chinese superstar quickly turned around, using the toe of his left foot to flick the ball, causing it to change direction and roll to the left, passing through the gap between Khedira's legs.
He also quickly accelerated to bypass Khedira. Khedira was taken aback and chose not to go for the ball immediately but instead tried to block the player.
But Wang Feng's acceleration was too fast. By the time the German turned around and reached out to pull him back, he only managed to touch the opponent's clothes and couldn't stop him from moving forward.
"A beautiful nutmeg and pass! Khedira looks like a rusty axis in front of Wang, why does he seem to be turning so slowly!"
Along with the commentator's exclamation, the audience in the stands of the Allianz Stadium also let out waves of astonishment because the Juventus defense seemed a bit empty at this moment, and the defensive players hadn't fully repositioned yet.
No one could have predicted that the Chinese superstar would pass Khedira's block so quickly, and it could even be said that the German had almost no effect.
Wang Feng received the ball and turned around smoothly, completing the entire process without any pause.
Dribbling the ball all the way into the heart of the Zebra Legion's defense, he finally faced a defensive player, Bonucci, who attempted to stop him. Wang Feng used a quick leg flick to deceive him, causing him to fall and lose his position.
Finally facing Buffon who came out to challenge, the Chinese superstar sidestepped the ball to avoid him and then quickly pushed it into the empty goal.
Even at this point, Wang Feng was confident that his shot would go in, so he didn't deliberately control his body to stop but instead smoothly slid forward, seamlessly transitioning from shooting to sliding to celebrate.
His teammates rushed over from behind to surround him. "So cool!" De Bruyne couldn't help but admire. As a teammate who witnessed the amazing performance of the Chinese superstar up close, the feeling was simply wonderful.
The Juventus players looked at each other, seeing the frustration and helplessness in each other's eyes. They truly had no way to deal with such a fairy-like goal.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com
