Chapter 795: Truly Fearless?
Facing Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-finals, Manchester City still had the advantage of playing away first and then at ho, coupled with Wang Feng's inherent "Camp Nou master" characteristic, filling his teammates with confidence for the expedition to Spain.
The preparation ti for knockout matches was slightly longer than for group stage matches, so the team had to use local facilities for training.
Before facing Juventus, they had rented facilities from the Turin club, and now in Barcelona, they naturally sought the help of the locals.
As a stronghold of the King's faction in Catalonia, the Spaniards were very friendly towards Wang Feng, and this hospitality extended to the entire Manchester City delegation.
It's not an exaggeration to say that the players felt as comfortable as if they were at ho, with all facilities fully available, even the entertainnt areas were not stingy.
Club General Manager Maria Duran specially arranged a banquet, mainly to entertain the Chinese superstar, with the rest of the Manchester City team also invited.
"This is too much." After the Spanish senior executives greeted Wang Feng one by one, Kompany approached and sighed, "The way these people treat you, how should I put it, it's a bit too respectful."
Wang Feng shrugged with a smile, but Aguero on the side understood the underlying aning, "In this kind of situation, Wang's identity is not just a football player, he's also a Viscount of Iberia."
Kompany then rembered seeing news in the past, that the Spanish king had awarded the Chinese superstar a very prestigious dal.
When a player reaches his level, his status and position are indeed at an incomparable peak.
Amidst the toasts, Duran ntioned his desire to bring in Wu Lei, a 26-year-old forward currently playing for Toulouse in Ligue 1, and Wang Feng naturally welcod this outco.
"I've been following that kid for a long ti, he's very talented." The Chinese superstar said, "It's a pity he went abroad a bit late, many of his habits have already ford."
To be honest, his talent might even be higher than Huang Hu's, but inadequate training during his youth in China ruined everything, which is why Huang Hu could join Bayern while he wasted ti in Ligue 1.
But coming to La Liga would not only improve his personal treatnt but also enhance his abilities.
Hearing Wang Feng say this, Duran beca even more confident in his decision and planned to take action this sumr.
When Wang Feng stepped onto the Camp Nou pitch, he was imdiately drawn to a huge banner, written in Spanish, saying, "We are champions, we fear nothing!"
Just before this match, Barcelona had just secured the league title three rounds early, reigning over La Liga after eleven years.
This good news gave the fans great courage, and of course, they hoped the club could overco the tough challenge of Manchester City and launch an assault on the long-awaited Champions League trophy.
This slogan was not only to cheer on the players on the field but also to encourage countless supporters themselves.
"Do they really fear nothing?" The corners of Wang Feng's mouth curled up, but in the eyes of the Camp Nou fans, it seed like the smile of death.
After the ga started, the ho team launched a fierce attack first, they seed like a reinvigorated machine, with the ball moving exceptionally smoothly from front to back.
They firmly held onto possession and the initiative on the field, forcing the Sky Blues to adopt a comprehensive defensive strategy.
In the 27th minute, the visitor's goal was breached, ssi dribbled past two defenders in the frontcourt and passed to Neymar, who scored from close range.
At that mont, the entire Camp Nou seed to tremble, the cheers of the Barcelona fans echoing through the sky.
"We are champions, we fear nothing!"
"Go ho, Wang!"
Countless people vented their emotions, turning their fear of Wang Feng into anger and letting it out freely.
But when the TV broadcast cara turned to the Chinese superstar, they saw him calmly running into the goal to retrieve the ball, then turning and beckoning his teammates to quickly get into position.
Seeing this scene, Barcelona fans couldn't help but gasp, feeling a chill down their spines for so reason. Even though they were in the lead, they still had a feeling of being on the brink of disaster.
"Wang will never give in at this mont, Barcelona should be careful!" Catalonia TV comntator Mottes said.
After the restart, the Barcelona players, still excited about their lead, continued to maintain their montum, relentlessly attacking into the opponent's half, attempting to seal the victory with a single blow.
The Camp Nou fans were also excited, constantly shouting and cheering from the stands, especially when the ho team created shooting opportunities or executed consecutive exquisite passing combinations.
At one point, the Catalan team made it difficult for the Sky Blues to even cross the midfield.
"Is this the power of the newly crowned La Liga champions? It seems that Barcelona is really going to rise!" Many spectators discussing the match online couldn't help but marvel.
"Manchester City has been a bit disoriented recently, Barcelona's style completely restrains them. If they lose control of possession, the situation will beco very difficult."
"It's really nerve-wracking to watch, the Sky Blues haven't played such a tough ga in a long ti, but Wang's determination is still strong. The outco is still unpredictable."
"Yes, he will be the biggest variable in this ga. Don't forget, Wang has never suffered a setback at Camp Nou, no matter how dangerous the situation, he can always turn it around."
All eyes were focused on that towering figure wearing the light blue number 30 jersey.
As the first half was about to end, Suarez's long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area was caught by Bravo.
The Chilean goalkeeper initially intended to throw it to Otandi, but with a glimpse, he saw a lightning bolt charging forward, simultaneously raising his right hand high to signal for a pass.
This was a bit difficult, after just one second of consideration, Bravo decided to trust Wang Feng, who else was more trustworthy than him?
So he changed from throwing to kicking, directly kicking the ball towards the area where the Chinese superstar was.
Wang Feng and Iniesta rushed towards the landing spot at the sa ti, the Chinese superstar got there first, quickly flicking the ball over the head of the Spanish midfielder, and then continuing forward without delay.
This was a seemingly simple but difficult move to execute.
First, you had to lift your foot to flick the ball while moving at high speed, ensuring both force and angle, while also preventing yourself from losing balance due to inertia.
Secondly, it required continuity, sprinting, flicking the ball, then sprinting again, not wasting a mont of ti.
As he grew older, Wang Feng's physical fitness, speed, and even his overall physical qualities had declined, but his absolute control over himself and his feel for the ball were always there.
After catching up to the ball, the Chinese superstar encountered Alves, who was rushing towards him. When the distance between the two was very close, he forcefully flicked the ball forward, leaving the Brazilian defender empty-handed.
Then he continued to sprint past the defender, at this point, basically no one could stop him from entering the penalty area.
The Camp Nou fans, who had been fervently cheering for their team, couldn't help but scream in horror, the bright red words "We fear nothing" now seed extrely ironic.
Did they really fear nothing? No, they were too afraid!
With trembling eyes, Wang Feng reached Ter Stegen's position, using his signature feint to deceive the German goalkeeper, who fell to the ground, while he easily passed by from the other side.
Then he simply carried the ball into the goal.
