Chapter 528: Now is still the era of Wang Feng!
Manchester United equalized the score again! With less than ten crucial minutes left in the game, Ronaldo scored his second goal to save the team.
Head coach Ferguson immediately made personnel adjustments, substituting Rooney for Scholes. The appearance of this veteran who has always served the Red Devils meant that they completely entered a stable rhythm, even if it dragged into extra time or penalty shootouts, they were willing to take the risk.
This was not very favorable for Real Madrid because they hadn't experienced penalty shootouts for many years. As the defending champions aiming to continue their glory, they were also easily prone to increased psychological pressure.
They wanted to settle the battle in regular time, but the opponent's defense had already reached its limit. In the 84th minute, Ramos tackled the ball from the back and passed it to Khedira. The German midfielder turned and dribbled forward, diagonally passing to Robben near the midfield line.
The Dutchman quickly sprinted along the wing, while Wang Feng also surged forward at the fastest speed. However, Scholes, who was tightly marking him, directly grabbed the Chinese superstar's jersey, and both fell to the ground.
The referee saw the advantage of the attack but didn't blow the whistle. However, Robben quickly entered the defensive encirclement and was tackled by Fabio without support.
As Wang Feng retreated to defend, he complained to the referee, "Sir, the foul just now was obviously too much." The Hungarian nodded, "Yes, but the ball wasn't at your feet. I will warn the opposing player."
Next, Manchester United dealt with Real Madrid's attack in the same way, sending a defensive player to foul Wang Feng without the ball, even if it meant receiving consecutive yellow cards.
Without Wang Feng's support, the Galactic battleship's counterattacks were greatly discounted, and time quickly passed between back and forth.
Wang Feng's jersey was already stained with dirt. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt a sense of dissatisfaction in his heart. The more the opponent tried to stop him with all their might, the more determined he became to defeat them head-on!
So he kept withdrawing to receive the ball, further expanding his range of activity. As injury time approached, this time Wang Feng received the ball on the right side of the midfield.
Seeing that Sneijder was even further forward than him, he didn't hesitate to send a back pass. As long as the Chinese superstar raised his hand, no matter where he was on the field, his teammates would choose to pass to him. This was the result of his outstanding performances that had impressed everyone over the years.
Wang Feng took a short step forward to control the ball, instantly shaking off Carrick who was tightly marking him, and quickly moved forward to the frontcourt. Seeing the imminent danger, Scholes rushed towards him aggressively. It seemed like he was preparing to foul.
Gritting his teeth fiercely, at this moment, Wang Feng also burst out with an unstoppable momentum. As the two approached each other until they were about to collide, Wang Feng planted his left foot, and with the momentum, fiercely kicked the ball with his right foot.
"Bang~" This sound was both the sound of kicking the ball and the sound of the two colliding. Scholes originally thought that Wang Feng would dodge him by dribbling or using his footwork before continuing forward, so that he could rely on inertia to pull him down and commit a foul. Even if his lower body was stable, he couldn't resist a completely opposite force.
However, he didn't expect that Wang Feng would wait for him to collide with him, and even before the collision, he would shoot. The huge force made both of them fall to the ground in pain, but the ball flew like an arrow towards the goal.
However, in an instant, it flew to the left side of the goal. Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar performed extremely bravely. In such a sudden situation, he still managed to make a diving save, but unfortunately, he was still a beat slower than the ball.
".Goooooooooooooooooooal!!" After a moment of silence, the live commentator shouted with all his strength, "Goal! Unbelievable, Wang Feng kicked a stunning world-class long shot from about 35 meters out, piercing through the Manchester United goal!"
"Oh my God, what kind of shot is this? According to the camera estimate, the highest speed of this goal reached an astonishing 230 kilometers per hour, breaking the current record for the highest ball speed in football."
"Well, let me check. The previous record was set in the 2006 Portuguese Super League match between Lisbon Athletic and Navarra. Brazilian player Ronnie Hebersen scored a world-class long shot with a speed of up to 211 kilometers per hour."
"I didn't expect that Wang Feng would increase this record by a full 19 kilometers per hour, and it's still from such a distance from the goal! It must be said that it's not easy for Van der Sar to make a save in such a sudden situation; he did his best."
"3-2! In the final moments of regular time, Wang Feng sounded the horn of victory for Real Madrid. They are getting closer and closer to their historic achievement!"
"Oh, we can see that Scholes and Wang Feng are still lying on the ground. Both sets of players are surrounding the referee, demanding an explanation. Everyone was shocked by the stunning long shot just now and didn't pay attention to what happened. Let's take a look at the slow-motion replay."
"Oh, it hurts, it's too dangerous! The English midfielder rushed straight into him like this, he's too impulsive."
"The moment Wang Feng took the shot, he was pushed over. His supporting foot must have suffered a severe impact; this is definitely a malicious foul!"
"The referee also thinks so. He showed the second yellow card to the fallen Scholes, two yellows become one red, and the Englishman who had just come on less than ten minutes ago was directly sent off!"
"But judging from his painful expression, he probably can't continue by himself. The team doctor is urgently entering the field to treat him. Oh! Wang Feng stood up! My God, he really is an iron man!"
"For Manchester United, this is simply adding insult to injury. They wanted to maliciously foul Wang Feng to stop him, but unexpectedly, they ended up being carried off themselves!"
Wang Feng's left foot still throbbed faintly, but he knew he wouldn't be seriously injured. Instead, it was Scholes who was destined to fail to steal the chicken and lose the rice.
Although the referee gave more than five minutes of injury time, Manchester United, playing with one man less, had already lost their fighting spirit long ago. Ronaldo persisted until the very end, but the script quietly changed. Now, it was still Wang Feng's era!
"Beep~ Beep~ Beep!"
The piercing whistle sounded so melodious to the Real Madrid players and fans. Fifty-one years later, the Galactic battleship finally reproduced the miracle of winning five consecutive Champions Leagues!
All kinds of dignitaries in the stands, including Real Madrid President Florentino, UEFA President Platini, Spanish King Juan Carlos, and others, all stood up, applauding vigorously for this great team, for Wang Feng!
They all understood what this trophy meant. In the early days of the European Champions Cup, there were only 16 clubs participating, and both the competitiveness and intensity were inferior to the present.
So, back then, Real Madrid's five consecutive championships had an element of luck, but now it's different. They had truly defeated all the European powerhouses standing in their way, establishing an immortal dynasty that shocked the world.
"One man, one era," Platini couldn't help but sigh, "Never has a team and a period of history been so strongly marked by a single player. Wang Feng did it."
He was excited but also felt very distressed because Wang Feng was not yet 28 years old, and according to the current situation, it seemed like he had no sign of declining form at all. Would the next step still be his solo show?
Countless conspiracy thoughts rushed into his mind for a moment, but they were quickly denied by Platini. One must know that Wang Feng had experienced the dark ages of Serie A. Such excessive actions could not stop him, especially in today's information world.
