I Am Scouted by Real Madrid

Chapter 214: Chapter 80: I Actually Made the Club’s Top 100 Players? (Part 2)

And as a member of the French-speaking group, Henry got closer with the odd man Eto’o.

Every time Schuster thought about this, he couldn’t help but show a satisfied smile.

This group, that faction.

In Real Madrid, there are only two major factions.

One faction is the Chen Zhong faction, and the other is the pro-Chen Zhong faction.

Sometimes Schuster couldn’t help but wonder, how is Chen Zhong so charming?

Whether they are from the Netherlands, Brazil, or Argentina, why are they all willing to be with him?

Moreover, Chen Zhong has high adaptability; no matter who he teams up with, he won’t act against his nature.

Ronaldinho and Henry have only played together for 622 minutes in 12 La Liga matches so far, with 8 of those matches as starters.

In those 8 matches as starters, Barcelona’s performance has been quite poor, with only 4 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses. The victories were all at the Camp Nou against Athletic Bilbao, Almeria, Betis, and Atletico Madrid.

Additionally, the draw was with Osasuna, and the losses were against Getafe, Atletico Madrid, and Villarreal.

And in the recently ended match against Villarreal, Rijkaard substituted Henry in the 65th minute, replacing him with Bojan.

Henry left the field angrily, and even left the club before the match ended.

While after the game, former Arsenal teammate Pires, looking for Henry, went to the Barcelona locker room after the match and only saw the jersey Henry left behind.

Seeing his old friend being wronged, Pires spoke up for Henry, saying, ”Henry is not accustomed to being substituted early, the three players on Barcelona’s front line are very talented, but everyone wants to play, which makes the situation difficult.”

”Why not try a 4-4-2, because if Eto’o, Henry, and Ronaldinho all play together, their strengths are somewhat redundantly wasted.”

In this match against Villarreal, the trio of Henry, Ronaldinho, and Eto’o only managed 4 shots total, and in the 4 matches they played together, they scored only 1 goal.

Every time Schuster thought about this, he couldn’t help but feel a bit smug.

What’s the use of having many forwards, do you have Chen Zhong?

Do you have Chen Zhong who can adjust player emotions?

Having many leaders equals having no leader, and in the current Real Madrid, everyone clearly knows that Raul is paving the way for Chen Zhong, and Chen Zhong is also starting to show his abilities.

Both on the field and off the field.

...

After this match, many media used the image of Raul embracing Chen Zhong facing the die-hard stands as the cover, and Chen Zhong suddenly became the ”Crown Prince” in most fans’ hearts.

Although many have proposed the concept of ”Crown Prince,” there are still some fans who refute with ”Does Real Madrid need a Crown Prince?”

With an outstanding performance this season, and Raul’s actions almost signifying a handover, Chen Zhong was finally broadly recognized as the ”Crown Prince,” the future new king.

And Real Madrid, after defeating the Spanish, was dubbed ”Europe’s Strongest Leader.”

As for earlier, constantly praised by the media and referred to as ”chasing 7 points in a month,” with the possibility of overturning to win the championship, Barcelona is now neglected.

Schuster has been quite pleased during this period.

He broke Real Madrid’s reputation of ”16 eliminations,” leading the team to the quarter-finals, while also being far ahead in the league standings.

If they can clinch the championship before the upcoming match against Barcelona, that could make Barcelona lineup for honor!!!!

The fire in Schuster’s eyes was a fatal temptation for him.

In the next match, Real Madrid will face Deportivo La Coruna.

Super Laco is not to be underestimated, especially since Real Madrid has not won at the Riazor Stadium, Deportivo La Coruna’s home, for five consecutive years.

While preparing for the next match, Real Madrid Club publicly announced that the selection of the top 100 players in team history is about to be completed.

In the current selection, legendary shooter Di Stefano slightly leads, with retired French star Zidane and local star Raul ranking second and third.

This selection activity started on the 6th of this month, with a deadline of midnight on the 28th.

When Chen Zhong heard about it, he didn’t pay much attention, as he is still a newcomer and is just a voter in such activities. It’s impossible for him to enter the rankings.

According to the latest report, nearly 400,000 people have voted online so far.

As of now, Di Stefano has 11,553 votes, exceeding Zidane by only 66 votes, with Raul currently having 11,060 votes. The vote counts among the top three are tight, and the final outcome is still uncertain.

These three people have each made an indelible contribution to Real Madrid Club.

In 1953, Di Stefano was born in Argentina and came to Europe to join Real Madrid, obtaining Spanish nationality in 1956. In the 10 years he served the team, he scored 418 goals in 510 official matches and was twice elected Europe’s best player of the year.

Last month on the 17th, UEFA President Platini awarded the UEFA President’s Award to the 81-year-old Di Stefano.

At the same time, the club also erected a statue beside the team’s training field to thank this current honorary chairman of Real Madrid for his outstanding contribution to the club over half a century.

Zidane officially retired after the World Cup in 2006. In his five seasons at Real Madrid, this Frenchman helped the club win the Champions League and La Liga championships, also aiding the team in winning other three trophies in competitions like the European Super Cup.

In 2003, Zidane was elected as FIFA’s World Footballer of the Year, and a year later, he won the title in UEFA’s ”Europe’s Best Player in 50 Years” poll, beating out legends like Beckenbauer and Cruyff.

Over thirty, Raul has been playing for Real Madrid’s first team for 14 years, winning La Liga five times, the Champions Cup three times, along with other personal and team awards.

Raul leads the historical scorer rankings in the Champions League with 61 goals.

In the recently ended match, Raul scored his 200th league goal against Spanish opponents, becoming the second Real Madrid player to exceed 200 goals after Di Stefano, ranking seventh in La Liga history.

Although Raul has not yet returned to the Spain National Team, he scored both the 800th and 900th goals in Spain National Team history.

Apart from these top three currently in the rankings, those ranking fourth to tenth are: Santiago Bernabeu (10,997 votes), Roberto Carlos (10,908 votes), Casillas (10,898 votes), Butragueño (9,949 votes), Yeluo (9,889 votes), Hugo Sanchez (9,475 votes), and Puskás (9,227 votes).

However, the most unexpected thing is.

Chen Zhong actually made it into the club’s historical top 100 list.

He ranks last on this list, exactly at the 100th position.

After defeating the Spanish and leading Barcelona by 8 points, Calderon published this list intending to boost the team’s popularity.

And he hopes that more fans will participate in voting in the remaining time.

After all, 400,000 voters are still too few.

Calderon hopes the number of participants can reach the million level.

His intentions are good.

But he overlooked one thing.

He announced the voting rankings in Spain and also highlighted the ranked in-house players separately.

Chen Zhong, rightly at the 100th rank, was naturally singled out.

Then, it was reported domestically.

Then...

When the broad Chinese netizens saw Chen Zhong’s scant votes and ranked only 100th...

They deeply interpreted what ”unity is strength” means.

Fake voting with 400,000 participants, real voting???? millions participating.

With the phrase ”Have you heard? Real Madrid started a voting activity, and our country is at the bottom,” countless Chinese netizens are gearing up, emerging from ”nothingness” in the new era of the internet, showing foreign netizens what Chinese power is.

While giving the upper management of Real Madrid Club a lesson.

That is...

Never let Chinese participate in this kind of voting.

Especially when there is a Chinese person in the nominees, especially the only Chinese person.

No suspense, really no suspense.
