Wu Hao heard his sister’s question and simply responded with a relaxed smile, “Don’t worry, our team will definitely win in the end. The reason Real Madrid managed to equalize so quickly was mainly due to our weak defense. However, our offense is not inferior to Real Madrid’s, so it won’t be long before we score again.”
After Wu Hao used his telekinesis to create a perfect scoring opportunity for his team, he stopped using it to cheat, considering the game had only just started and had been going for less than ten minutes!
He only needed to control the pace of the game naturally, and the best result for the first half would be a draw.
So, he didn’t prevent Real Madrid from scoring and leveling the score. After all, Real Madrid, as a top European team, would lose face if they didn’t score.
If Wu Hao had used telekinesis throughout the match, he could have left Real Madrid scoreless, but that would have affected post-match relations.
After all, Real Madrid was a team he had hired from Europe to play against his Tianyu club, and even if they were to win in the end, he had to let them score a few goals to make it more acceptable for everyone.
Soon, as time passed, and at the 25-minute mark of the first half, Wu Hao once again used his telekinesis to create a prime scoring chance for Kaká. Although this wasn’t a one-on-one situation, it was a major opportunity for Real Madrid, and Kaká took a powerful long shot, sending the ball rolling towards the goal.
Real Madrid’s goalkeeper could have made a save, but as the ball approached the goal, Wu Hao slightly guided it off course with his telekinesis. As a result, the goalkeeper, who could have barely touched the ball, watched as it slipped past his fingertips into the bottom right corner of the net.
With Kaká’s goal, Tianyu regained the lead. Before this, Real Madrid had already had two surefire chances that Wu Hao secretly neutralized with his telekinesis.
This result made the usually proud Cristiano Ronaldo very frustrated. What seemed like a guaranteed goal was blocked by the goalpost at the last moment before entering the net.
After Tianyu regained the lead, Real Madrid managed to equalize the score again a few minutes later. In the last ten minutes of the first half, neither side scored again.
At halftime, both teams returned to their locker rooms for a rest, and the stadium’s stage effects mode was activated once more. Dancers and singers prepared to perform on the central stage below the stadium, starting a passionate performance.
In Real Madrid’s locker room, the head coach gathered all the players and announced the tactics for the second half: “Hey, guys! We have to admit that Tianyu is a strong Eastern team. Although their ability to break our defense is thanks to the outstanding forward Kaká, the upcoming match will decide the outcome. I’m sure you don’t want to see our team suffer a loss in this football desert known as the East! Even though today’s match is just a friendly, we still need to win.”
“Don’t worry! In the second half, we won’t give Tianyu another chance to score. We’ll turn their goal into a sieve,” said the Real Madrid players, clearly dissatisfied with the first half of the match. They couldn’t tolerate being led by Tianyu every time they scored first.
After all, they are the top European team, Real Madrid. They can tolerate a loss but not in a place called a football desert.
On the other side, in Tianyu’s home locker room, the coach was naturally very pleased with the players’ performance in the first half but reiterated the need to remain fully focused in the second half.
The fact that he was still the Tianyu head coach this season was due to his good performance last season. Even though the team had purchased several stronger players, the coach had not been replaced.
As the second half began, Real Madrid indeed changed their approach, dominating possession and not giving Tianyu’s players any chances.
With Real Madrid controlling possession for most of the time, they had already created several threatening shots at Tianyu’s goal within the first ten minutes of the second half.
In the VIP box of the stands, Wu Hao noticed that Real Madrid’s defense and attack were at their best. He knew very well that if he hadn’t used telekinesis to cheat several times, Tianyu’s goal would have already been battered by Real Madrid.
However, Real Madrid’s increased seriousness about the match showed they were no longer underestimating Tianyu as they had in the first half.
While Wu Hao was silently lamenting, a new development occurred on the field. Real Madrid’s forward, Bale, used his signature move to kick the ball forward, then bypassed the Tianyu defenders and used his trademark speed to catch up with the ball. He ultimately rounded Tianyu’s goalkeeper and sent the ball into the net.
Given that Bale was alone and had already bypassed the goalkeeper, it would have been absurd for Wu Hao to use telekinesis to block this goal.
Thus, the score on the field changed to 2-3, with Real Madrid taking the lead.
“It looks like we can’t let Real Madrid have any more scoring opportunities. But now that Real Madrid has taken the lead, they probably won’t be too aggressive. So, I don’t need to rush Tianyu to score. I can use my cheating methods in the final minutes to catch Real Madrid off guard.”
As Wu Hao anticipated, after Real Madrid gained the lead, they still had a few threatening attacks in the next 20 minutes, but they were all neutralized by Wu Hao’s telekinesis.
