Chapter 309: Dynasty fall ?
On the sidelines, Rijkaard looked up and sighed, realizing he was once again one step too late! After equalizing, he witnessed ssi's formidable strength, fully capable of tearing apart Real Madrid's fragile defense if utilized properly.
Gradually, he realized ssi had fallen into the opponent's trap. Wang Feng's successful defenses constantly provoked ssi into contesting with him, completely disrupting Barcelona's fluid attacking system.
With a mindset not to discourage the players' initiative, he planned to let ssi challenge for a while before using substitute players to persuade him to get back on track. Unexpectedly, before implenting this plan, the opponent seized the opportunity to score again.
Now not only ssi felt disheartened, but the entire team's morale plumted, making a coback almost impossible within the limited 15 minutes.
So he had to change the substitution strategy, replacing the forward Eto'o with the midfielder Motta to strengthen the defense. They couldn't afford to concede another goal!
This substitution also ant Barcelona had given up on this ga. After all, it was just a league match, and the current scoreline away from ho wasn't too shaful.
Fate sotis works in mysterious ways. Just when both sides seed disinterested in further battle, as they spent the last monts, Barcelona suddenly made a mistake in their defense, and Marcos directly passed the ball to Wang Feng in front of the penalty area.
Wang Feng was montarily stunned, but quickly, the striker's instinct kicked in. He lightly flicked the ball to his right and then unleashed a fierce shot, blasting open Barcelona's goal for the fourth ti.
"Gooooooooooooooooooo! Goal! Wang Feng scores his fourth!"
"Is he sent by God to punish Barcelona? Unbelievable! After his legendary performance in the Champions League final, he now stages another four-goal massacre against Barcelona in the national derby."
In the stands of Bernabeu, Real Madrid fans sang their club anthem "Hala Madrid" in unison, believing fiercely that despite the issues the team still faced, the rise was underway, and Wang Feng was their hope!
anwhile, a small wave of Barcelona fans who had traveled from afar felt itching with anger. They silently swore that the next ti they returned to Camp Nou, they would give these people a harsh lesson!
Real Madrid 4-1 victory over Barcelona!
The day after the El Clasico, "National Newspaper" reported the match on the front page. In Spain, you might not be a football fan, but you couldn't ignore matches between Real Madrid and Barcelona; their rivalry had transcended re sport.
The report pointed out that Real Madrid had avenged last season's defeat at the Bernabeu, with the new transfer king scoring all four goals, proving his worth and strength to the world.
"After winning two consecutive league titles and reaching the Champions League final after many years, Barcelona's dream of a second dynasty seems to be losing steam this season. Will this big win beco a turning point in ending their dominance?"
The current situation in La Liga easily reminded people of the scenes from the past. Under Cruyff's coaching from 1991 to 1994, Barcelona achieved a remarkable feat of winning four consecutive league titles. However, in the winter of 1995, led by Baldano, Real Madrid thrashed them 5-0 at the Bernabeu, and they never recovered from that blow.
"The circumstances faced by Real Madrid then, with reconstruction, new coach, and new signings, are remarkably similar to now. Samorano's five goals, Wang Feng's four goals, the achievents of the Chinese are already comparable to the legends of Real Madrid!"
"World Newspaper" focused on praising Real Madrid's opening goal, "Completing a fantastic combination in less than 8 seconds, Wang Feng and his teammates have developed a remarkable understanding."
"This goal laid the essential foundation for Real Madrid's victory. It almost destroyed Barcelona's tactical system and morale, which never recovered to normal levels."
The article also pointed out that ssi's solo goal had saved face for Barcelona montarily, but his subsequent poor performance made people feel like the earlier goal was a fluke, with Wang Feng completely shutting him down.
Here, the article went on to analyze and praise Wang Feng's defensive abilities, even suggesting that just his defense alone was worthy of a European Golden Ball!
The Catalan newspapers felt that Barcelona didn't perform well. "Daily Sports" wrote that Barcelona didn't play up to their usual standard, and Real Madrid's early surprise goal dealt a significant blow to the players.
"This score doesn't reflect anything. We are still stronger than Real Madrid. When they co to Camp Nou next ti, Barcelona will return today's sha a thousand tis over!"
Another authoritative Catalan newspaper, "Pioneer Newspaper," described the ga in detail and believed that Barcelona didn't co out empty-handed from the match. "We gained valuable experience in handling pressure, and we believe these guys won't be crushed by conceding an early goal next ti."
They also thought ssi's brilliant goal showed glimpses of hope for the club's future. "Of course, we should give this young man more support and tolerance. He's still so young, occasional stubbornness on the field is understandable, and with the coach's counseling, he quickly adjusted his ntality until the final monts, creating many opportunities."
Cruyff also comnted on the match in his column, criticizing Ronaldinho's poor performance. "This is not the level expected of a Brazilian. He was almost invisible throughout the ga, a far cry from the hat-trick he scored in the Champions League final a few months ago."
The Dutchman believed Ronaldinho's lackluster performance stemd from his indifferent attitude. "We want to see the sprite who dances on the pitch, not the libertine in the nightlife."
If his professional attitude couldn't be reversed, Cruyff even suggested the club sell him, even though he's still in his pri.
Regarding ssi, Barcelona's legendary figure, Cruyff showered him with praise. In ssi, he seed to see shades of the legendary superstar Maradona. He felt there was no need for the club and fans to be too harsh on this young talent; he had already shown exceptional talent, lacking only experience.
"Constantly facing strong opponents will greatly contribute to his growth, and these failed experiences will eventually transform into his own abilities."
