I Am Scouted by Real Madrid-Chapter 513 - 12: The Most Important One

Santiago Bernabeu Stadium

The boos from the fans were like a thorn, piercing Cristiano Ronaldo’s heart.

Throughout his career, he’s faced provocations, but it still saddens him when his own fans behave this way.

It feels like there’s a fire burning inside him, making him uncomfortable and eager to release it.

At this moment, not far away, Chen Zhong stood up.

With an aggressive stance, he tackled an Osasuna player to the ground, covering for the Portuguese, then pointed at Cristiano Ronaldo and gestured to the fans to keep quiet.

The Real Madrid fans in the stands gradually quieted down after a brief shock, even those who wanted to continue expressing their discontent lowered their voices under the influence of those around them, eventually falling silent.

This gradually quieting scene made many new and old fans feel Chen Zhong’s significance in this Real Madrid team.

"Focus!"

"Cristiano!" Chen Zhong shouted to C. Ronaldo: "Pay attention to your teammates’ positions."

"Gonzalo!"

"Pass more if you’re not in good form, we’re a team."

"Everyone stay sharp! This is our first match at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium this season, we must win, and win beautifully!"

"Hala Madrid!"

"Hala Madrid"

The players responded in unison to Chen Zhong, each wearing an invigorated expression, while the Osasuna players nearby, especially the one who got tackled, looked completely at a loss, unsure of what to do.

Originally, he wanted to protest Chen Zhong’s foul, but there seemed to be an invisible aura about Chen Zhong that made him hesitant, and by the time he wanted to argue, the match had resumed.

However, the Osasuna players wouldn’t admit defeat so easily.

Their coach also gave instructions from the sidelines, hoping the players would play more aggressively, trying to disrupt Real Madrid’s rhythm with fouls.

During the first half, although the Real Madrid fans weren’t very satisfied with the players’ performance, the team’s overall offense was still sharp, controlling the pace of the game.

And now Osasuna’s task was to make Real Madrid’s rhythm less smooth.

"Osasuna’s actions are a bit aggressive!"

"But Real Madrid also responded strongly."

"The pace of the game is frequently disrupted by fouls from both sides."

"But looking at the situation on the field."

"Osasuna is clearly at a disadvantage."

The players of both teams frequently clashed physically, with Real Madrid centering around Chen Zhong repeatedly gaining the upper hand in these confrontations, while Osasuna, unable to control the pace, completely lost their rhythm.

"32nd minute of the game."

"Chen Zhong snatched the ball from an Osasuna player!"

"They’re trying to commit a tactical foul."

"But they couldn’t stop Chen Zhong!"

"Continuing with the ball, passed to the left to C. Ronaldo!"

"C. Ronaldo’s cut-in was very decisive!"

Cristiano Ronaldo’s performance was getting better, with a calm mindset, he finally saw his teammates after the cut-in.

Facing the pressure from Osasuna players, he passed the ball back to Chen Zhong, who without stopping, deftly threaded a through pass, slicing through Osasuna’s defense!

"C. Ronaldo!"

"Passed it back to Chen Zhong."

"Beautiful!"

"A through pass!"

"Beautiful!"

"Pierced through the opponent’s defense."

"Higuain!"

Chen Zhong’s pass was very precise, slipping right between two Osasuna defenders. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Higuain made a clever run, and when Chen Zhong was there, especially after he gave his shout, the Real Madrid players obediently played around Chen Zhong as the core.

Higuain was one-on-one with the goalkeeper, without making too many adjustments.

A powerful low shot!

The ball streaked towards the goal like a white light.

Finally, it grazed the post and went out of bounds.

The dissatisfied noise came from the Real Madrid fans in the stands, and Cristiano Ronaldo also stopped, raising his right arm above his head to express his displeasure.

Higuain nervously looked towards Chen Zhong, while Chen Zhong gave him a thumbs up and then applauded: "Well done!"

"Don’t lose heart!"

"We still have plenty of time!"

Chen Zhong’s facial expressions and body language were like a calming pill for the Real Madrid players, and after some simple commotion, the fans in the stands also settled down.

Seeing this scene, netizens were also expressing their opinions.

[With Chen on the field, Real Madrid plays more serenely.]

[Higuain is really a weakling; missing such a chance, his form is really bad in this match.]

[Chen’s composure is amazing! If we were in college, and a teammate played like this, we wouldn’t resist cursing his relatives.]

[Ever since Chen urged the fans not to boo their own players, the stands have been much quieter! Chen truly is Bernabeu’s favorite, hoping he wins the Ballon d’Or.]

[Ballon d’Or? Just saying! In a World Cup year, there’s no precedent of a non-World Cup champion player winning the Ballon d’Or!]
