I Am Scouted by Real Madrid-Chapter 430 - 66: The End of the All-Powerful Terminator (Chen’s Highlight Moment)
The joys and sorrows of people are not the same.
Villarreal fans have completely broken down. Those watching on TV have turned it off, yet lying in bed, they find it hard to sleep, while the diehard fans present at the scene, some have left, but some remain crying and steadfastly staying in place.
Aside from Villarreal fans, the most distressed are probably Barcelona fans. In this match, they put on Villarreal jerseys, becoming Villarreal fans, and shouted the name of the Yellow Submarine.
They were hoping to see them fire torpedoes to sink this new Galaxy Battleship!
However, the harsh reality shattered their illusions directly; Real Madrid, with nearly seventy percent possession and an eighty-eight percent passing success rate in the first half, made Villarreal a "plaything" caught in a web.
Can there be any change in the second half?
Even the most fanatic Barcelona fans know that the "situation is hopeless."
During halftime, some Villarreal fans gradually chose to leave, while Real Madrid supporters in the stands spontaneously began various celebrations. Some gathered in groups to sing, and someone even organized a wave, creating a joyous atmosphere overall.
After experiencing a dark season, with Florentino taking office, everything seems to be moving in a positive direction.
"The second half begins, with Real Madrid having controlled the game in the first half."
"Perhaps for Villarreal players and coaches, ending the match after the first half would have been a better choice."
"A point Garrido must consider is how to explain to the club’s higher-ups if the match ends with the current or even worse scores."
Although Garrido didn’t hear the commentator’s words, he indeed has similar thoughts now; he no longer hopes to defeat Real Madrid.
He now pins his hopes on whether the team can score some goals while Real Madrid relaxes in the second half.
Liverpool once staged the Istanbul miracle in the Champions League final, so today can Villarreal create an epic comeback at the Bernabeu, right?
Like buying a lottery ticket, there are always some nonexistent fantasies, Garrido now has already plunged into a crazed state. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
As the second half started, Villarreal engaged in the attack actively and conducted high-intensity pressing without sparing their energy.
Even Rossi, who was invisible for much of the first half, somehow regained courage after Garrido spoke to him and began attempting to dribble past defenders again.
Unfortunately, when facing Chen Zhong, his outcome is always the same.
"Villarreal’s attack!"
"53rd minute of the match!"
"Sena passes in the center."
"Rossi passes the ball back to Sena."
"Sena opted for a long-range shot from outside the penalty area."
"Casillas easily caught the ball."
"This was also Villarreal’s first shot on target in this match."
This scene amused quite a few fans, and even sparked discussion online, with some associating Sena’s long shot with the popular manga "Naruto."
There’s a famous scene where Kakuzu, from eight hundred miles away, throws a shuriken at Senju Hashirama, the God of the Ninja World, to "assassinate" him, then quickly flees.
Many years later, he goes around boasting about his battles with Hashirama.
Sena’s shot has a somewhat similar ironic twist.
Alright, I get it, Real Madrid, you’re amazing; we can’t penetrate your penalty area, so let me try a shot from outside and test my luck, alright?
Sena’s long shot, much like Kakuzu’s shuriken, is utterly powerless, while also showcasing Villarreal’s plight.
They lack an excellent dribbler, and Rossi, who’s generally outstanding against other teams, doesn’t display even a glimmer of "genius" in this match.
In contrast, there’s Cristiano Ronaldo.
At this moment, right now!
Whoa!
He’s sprinting at full speed, aiming to break through our defenses!
"Real Madrid’s counterattack!"
"Intercepted by Baptista."
"Passed to Chen Zhong."
"Long pass!"
Chen Zhong glanced at Cristiano Ronaldo briefly and then unleashed a powerful long pass from the backfield towards the front.
The ball, known by fans as the "Chen-style arc," traced a letter C in the sky, symbolizing either C. Ronaldo’s C or Chen Zhong’s C.
Real Madrid players advanced decisively.
Villarreal, facing Real Madrid’s onslaught, crumbled like a broken dam.
Villarreal tried to take down C. Ronaldo, double-teaming him, but he accelerated and slipped through the two defenders.
Villarreal players quickly arranged their positions, while Cristiano Ronaldo ceased forcing his way inward, as Negredo and Higuain each took near and far positions, forming a V-shape run to briefly widen the space among Villarreal players.
