<h4>Chapter 425: Wave of goals</h4>


    November 9th, La Liga''s 10th round, the Gctic Battleship hosted Mga at home. Thest time the visiting team won against Real Madrid was way back in 1983. Head coach Schuster decided to rotate some key yers for rest. Pepe, Sneijder, and Robben were ced on the bench, with De Red, Guti, and Higuain starting.


    But no one expected the visiting team to take the lead. In the 6th minute, Mga defender Eliseu dribbled past Marcelo and Ramos, then cut in from the right side and passed back. Although Gago barely cleared the ball in the box, it rebounded off the post back into y. Eliseu followed up before Casis, tapping the ball into the, 0-1!


    Real Madrid''s misery didn''t end there. In the 11th minute, Duda''s cross hit Ramos'' hand unintentionally during a duel for the ball in the air. The referee promptly stopped the game and awarded a penalty to the away team, also showing Ramos a yellow card. "It''s simply an unfortunate incident," thementator remarked, "From the rey, Ramos didn''t extend his arm intentionally, but the team did benefit, and the penalty call is justifiable."


    "Now, who will take the penalty for Mga? Oh, it''s number 12, forward Adrian. This 20-year-old talent, loaned from Deportivo La Coruna, has contributed 2 goals this season, showing great efficiency."


    "The referee blows his whistle, and it''s a shot! The ball''s in! It goes past Casis under his body into the, although Saint Iker guessed the direction correctly, he couldn''t stop the goal."


    "So, the score on the field is now 0-2, with the Gctic Battleship trailing by two goals at home, which is quite rare. What will be the next development in this game?"


    Real Madrid was indeed thrown into some chaos after conceding two goals in the opening minutes. However, they quickly adjusted their mentality to control the situation, as their key yers had yet to make an impact.


    In the 16th minute, Guti sent a direct pass into the box, and Wang Feng received the ball with his back against the goal. This showed that the young Spanish defender Gámez had put in a lot of effort to prevent the Chinese superstar from turning and threatening the goal. With other Mga defenders closing in, Wang Feng cleverly used his right heel to knock the ball, with an upward force.


    The ball soared into the air, passing through Gámez''s legs, heading straight towards the goal from below the crossbar. Mga goalkeeper Arnau couldn''t make any save as he watched it enter the from beneath the crossbar.


    "Goaaaaaaaaaaaaal! The ball''s in! A fantastic backheel shot by Wang Feng!"


    "Wang Feng pulls one back for the Gctic Battleship, proving that any part of his body can be a weapon for shooting, even with his back to the goal!"


    This goalpletely sounded the horn of the home team''s attack. In the 20th minute, Guti''s long shot from outside the box was saved by Arnau. Three minutester, Marcelo passed diagonally, and Wang Feng picked out Higuain in the box, whose header was cleared for a corner.


    In the 26th minute, De Red''s left-footed shot from the edge of the penalty area slid wide. Two minutester, Gago lofted the ball into the box from outside the area, and Wang Feng''s right-footed volley narrowly missed the crossbar.


    Then, in the 40th minute, the Gctic Battleship''s pressure paid off again. Guti crossed from the nk, and while Mga defender Rosario could have cleared the ball first, he made a mistake. Wang Feng followed up at the far post to push the ball into the, 2-2! Real Madrid finally leveled the score!


    In the second half, the home team continued their relentless attacks. In the 55th minute, the Gctic Battleship tore open Mga''s defense through sessive passes. Wang Feng dribbled into the box, and Wellington from the side collided with great force.


    The Chinese superstar lost his bnce and fell to the ground, but before falling, he swept the ball to the right with his right foot. The ball quickly rolled towards the goal, hitting the inside of the post and bouncing into the, 3-2! Even fouls couldn''t stop Wang Feng''s goal-scoring pace!


    In the 71st minute, Wang Feng received Guti''s pass at the top of the penalty area, then sidestepped with his left foot and unleashed a powerful shot. The ball flew past Arnau''s outstretched hand into the, 4-2! Wang Fengpleted a fantastic quadruple!


    This goal helped Real Madrid secure victory decisively. When the referee blew the final whistle, the score remained unchanged.


    The Gctic Battleship suffered defeat and then rose with a wave of goals. Next door, Barcelona was equally unstoppable, sweeping Real Vadolid 6-0. Forward Eto''o also scored four goals, and he did so in just 35 minutes.


    This victory was attributed to Vadolid''s "active cooperation," as they adopted an attacking strategy at Camp Nou, leaving ample space for Barcelona''s forwards to counter-attack. Messi also performed exceptionally well, orchestrating numerous attacks with his gifted ball control. While he didn''t directly score, his 17 sessful dribbles led to three goals.


    Another core yer upfront, Henry, contributed with a goal and an assist, showing his integration into Barcelona''s overall atmosphere and style of y after continuous coaching adjustments by head coach Guardi.


    At the same time, Guardi learned from Rijkaard andst season''s failures, managing the team more strictly, even somewhat ruthlessly.


    In a post-match interview, he stated that the team''s big win didn''t mean anything and was rather "deceptive." "We still have many areas that are not perfect. More importantly, our biggest enemy has been trailing us and hasn''t fallen behind. Before facing them in a century-long confrontation, the team must adjust to its best state."


    The goal wave wasn''t limited to the two giants but swept across the entire La Liga. In the background of attacking football prevailing, the total number of goals in thest two La Liga rounds reached 69, with an average of 2.76 goals per game, making it the highest-scoring league in Europe.


    This number indicates the high excitement level of La Liga, attracting more fans to watch games live, providing the most goals for the least money. Why not?


    ording to authoritative media statistics, La Liga''s overall attendance rate has exceeded 80%. Now, amidst the raging financial crisis, they have sessfully surpassed the Premier League to be the most popr league in Europe.


    Although TV broadcast revenues are not as high as the Premier League, the La Liga alliance is actively seeking reform, mainly by expanding broadcasting markets.


    Three days after the Mga match, the Gctic Battleship weed the Royal Federation for the second leg of the fourth round of the Spanish King''s Cup, ying at home. As they had won the first leg easily, all key yers, including Wang Feng, rested.
