I Am Scouted by Real Madrid-Chapter 355 - 32: Eat My Cannon...
Estadio Vicente Calderón
The Atletico Madrid players look really impressive when they’re pressing forward, but now they’re a bit clumsy as they hurriedly fall back on defense.
Chen Zhong received the ball and, facing Atletico Madrid’s pressing, used a long pass from the back to change the situation, which was Pellegrini’s strategy to make Kaka the sharp blade piercing Real Madrid’s way through Atletico Madrid’s defenses.
Moreover, Chen Zhong and Kaka were teammates back in Milan, and their cooperation is seamless, needing no words to get things done.
Chen Zhong knew Kaka would be in the right spot, while Kaka understood that if he ran to the designated area, the ball would surely be there.
"Beautiful!"
"Chen Zhong and Kaka’s cooperation is seamless."
"But Atletico Madrid’s defense is incredibly swift."
"Let’s see how they’ll handle this ball!"
"Good."
"Delivered to Benzema!"
"Benzema!"
"Another pass!"
"Load the cannon!"
The ball curved in midair, shaking off Atletico Madrid’s players, and not so precisely landed near Kaka.
Atletico Madrid’s players immediately positioned themselves, while Kaka, controlling the ball, lightly passed it to Benzema as the Atletico Madrid players closed in around him.
The Frenchman attracted Atletico Madrid’s players and directly tapped the ball sideways to set up the cannon for Chen Zhong.
Chen Zhong stepped forward swiftly, assumed the "bow and arrow" stance, and with no hesitation, struck the ball forcefully.
"Bang!"
The ball transformed into a white streak, whistling towards Atletico Madrid’s goal.
This ball skidded across the grass—something goalkeepers hate.
David De Gea swiftly adjusted his position, knees bent, hands forward, and lunged down to block the ball.
The ball made intimate contact with De Gea’s hands.
Yet the force behind the shot was overwhelming, and young De Gea couldn’t control the ball!
Moreover, damn, the ball had a spin—who could withstand that!
"Chen Zhong!"
"With not a hint of hesitation!"
"Directly took the shot!"
"Heavy cannon strike!"
"De Gea!"
"Layed an egg!"
"Butterfingers???"
"Oh wow, this!"
Under the witness of countless fans, De Gea, who had recently performed brilliantly and was even favored by coach Flores to become the first-choice goalkeeper, inexplicably "slipped" while facing Chen Zhong’s long shot despite being in a favorable position.
The fans watched dumbstruck as the ball squeezed out from between De Gea’s legs after contact with his hands and then saw De Gea awkwardly turning to retrieve it.
Atletico Madrid’s fans looked incredulous, with some even rubbing their eyes intensely as if to see if they were hallucinating.
In contrast, Real Madrid’s fans were simply laughing, blowing whistles, and singing songs, further hurting Atletico Madrid’s supporters.
This hotly contested match attracted attention from fans worldwide, and watching Chen Zhong’s heavy cannon strike, or hurriedly pulling up their pants to catch the game, viewers couldn’t help but share their thoughts upon noticing the score.
[What’s happening? It’s a goal already!]
[Wow, glad it went in, Higuain had already run into position, if it were me, I’d pass to Higuain.]
[No way, has his heavy cannon been this awesome this season? I feel like he’s scored quite a few long shots.]
[Seems like he went to Milan and enriched his skills and even brought back Kaka and Pirlo, truly a big baddie.]
[Do you sense that Atletico Madrid’s fans seem a bit broken? It shouldn’t be, right? It’s been so short, wow, Chen Zhong’s celebration?]
...
Estadio Vicente Calderón
After completing an incredible heavy cannon shot, even the referee was stunned.
After hesitating for a moment, he blew the whistle to confirm the goal was valid!
"GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLL!"
"GOAL!!!"
"The ball is in!"
"Again, it’s Chen Zhong, another long shot!"
"Real Madrid’s smooth coordination in the attack."
"Benzema set up the cannon for Bernabeu’s new king, as outside the penalty area, Chen Zhong’s heavy cannon blasted Atletico Madrid’s goal apart."
"The camera focuses on Atletico Madrid’s genius goalkeeper, De Gea."
"This young post-90s goalkeeper has recently climbed from third choice to become the team’s main goalkeeper through outstanding performance."
"But now, Chen Zhong, with one fierce shot, kicked this promising young man right back into the pit!"
"wowowowo!"
"The electronic board displays the time of this goal!"
"23 seconds!"
"The local derby continued its intense style."
"In 23 seconds, Real Madrid scored a beautiful goal with Chen Zhong."
"This was almost half the time it took Aguero to score previously in 55 seconds!"
The commentary gradually intensified, and Chen Zhong celebrated wildly at Estadio Vicente Calderón without restraint.
Real Madrid’s players followed their new king and slid in a collective knee-slide at the corner flag.
Then Chen Zhong got up, sprinted a few steps, and with a signature move displayed his number and name, informing Atletico Madrid’s fans that the goal scorer was Chen Zhong from China, Real Madrid’s number 10, Bernabeu’s new king.
Furthermore, amidst the angry boos, jeers, and scattered debris from Atletico Madrid’s fans, he found the area where the 55-second poster was previously displayed, first showing five fingers on his right hand and then five fingers on his left to signify Aguero’s goal time.
