I Am Scouted by Real Madrid

Chapter 280: Chapter 20: Misjudgment? Again! It’s Blown Up!

I am... a football wizard.

No one knows how much Ronaldinho held back in Barcelona, or the psychological struggle he went through when leaving.

He wanted to prove himself, to show he was still the wizard on the field, the dancer of samba.

And at this moment, right now.

Isn’t it the best stage under the spotlight?

His body was no longer as agile as it used to be, but talent is something that never conforms to norms.

Determined silently, after receiving the ball, Ronaldinho didn’t choose to pass it but waited for the opponent to approach and executed a trademark elastico, bypassing the opponent.

His dreamy footwork, like a dancer, showcased his beautiful steps.

Inter Milan’s defense line was in chaos, and Ronaldinho’s performance brought cheers of surprise from Milan fans.

”Ronaldinho!”

”Received the ball on the right!”

”Very beautiful dribbling.”

”And again!”

”Come on!”

”Oh no!”

The commentator’s voice was a bit regretful, Ronaldinho’s ”flame” was extinguished as Inter Milan’s players came one after another, and lacking teammate support, Ronaldinho could only watch as the ball was tackled out of bounds.

Ancelotti felt a bit of regret in his heart, but quickly put that regret aside.

After all, Inter Milan’s coach was Mourinho; how could his team be so easily breached?

This was also Milan’s most dazzling moment in the first half. In the remaining time, except for Chen Zhong’s disruption of a long pass by Inter Milan trying to enter the penalty area at the last moment, there was nothing else notable.

Inter Milan entered the second half with a 1:0 lead.

In the locker room, Ancelotti made some tactical adjustments and frequently looked at Inzaghi.

In the first half, Pato had barely shown any performance.

In the end, he didn’t make any substitution adjustments.

The second half started, Ronaldinho created threats multiple times on the flank, but due to the lack of coordination from teammates in the middle, it only managed to briefly excite the fans.

Although Milan’s offense was somewhat sluggish.

But on the defensive end, Chen Zhong’s omnipresence amazed everyone.

He contested headers in the penalty area, intercepted the ball on the flank, and tackled outside the large penalty area.

His positioning was precise, appearing time and again where he was needed.

Although Inter Milan occasionally broke through the ”checkpoint” guarded by Chen Zhong, he was still able to apply pressure, and Abbiati’s excellent performance kept the score at 1:0.

”Milan continues to look for opportunities in the midfield.”

”Ambrosini with the ball.”

”Stankovic’s foul.”

”The referee didn’t call it!”

”Inter Milan’s counterattack.”

Mourinho’s team excelled defensively; even Stankovic was very active in defense.

Ambrosini rarely advanced forward, only to be intercepted by Stankovic and counterattacked.

Stankovic, after drawing in Milan players, quickly passed the ball to Maicon on the flank. Maicon received the ball and diagonally cut into Milan’s rib area, with Chen Zhong quickly closing in from the side, using his body to press Maicon.

Maicon lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Inter Milan’s fans in the stands booed, but the referee didn’t indicate anything.

Chen Zhong controlled the ball at his feet and made a long pass.

Beckham attempted to take the ball, but Muntari rushed in directly.

”Beeep Beeeep Beep!”

The referee’s piercing whistle sounded, Beckham lay on the ground covering his right foot, seemingly in some pain.

”Milan’s counterattack was thwarted.”

”Muntari, that absolutely deserves a card!”

”No, still no card from the referee.”

”His control over the pace of the game is terrible.”

”Ancelotti made a substitution.”

”In the 58th minute, Ancelotti used his first substitution.”

”Inzaghi is on!”

Beckham’s right leg was slightly injured; when he was substituted, he seemed a bit dissatisfied, believing he could continue, but Ancelotti was concerned about Beckham’s injury.

After Inzaghi came on, Pato retreated from the ”point” position.

Milan’s forward line now had Ronaldinho, Inzaghi, and Pato, positioning Ancelotti transformed Pato from the ”blade” to the ”handle,” not expecting this talented player to score, but hoping he could assist in organizing the team’s attack.

Additionally, he had Seedorf retreat to Beckham’s position.

Inter Milan launched a fierce attack during this period, unsatisfied with a one-goal lead because, in the world of football, leading by one goal is the most unreliable.

However, Chen Zhong was like a wobbly figure, impossible to knock down or break!

”The match has reached the 71st minute.”

”Inter Milan’s attack!”

”Oh oh!”

”A ferocious tackle by Chen Zhong.”

”He’s truly not afraid of being carded!”

”Milan’s counterattack!”

The substitution of Beckham intensified the heat between the two teams, and Chen Zhong seized a chance to fiercely tackle Ibrahimovic to the ground.

After falling, Ibrahimovic first craned his neck to see who tackled him, then clenched his teeth and held his right ankle.

The referee didn’t blow the whistle, and the ball came to Pirlo’s feet.

Pirlo, who had been invisible this match, squinted and was about to send a long pass.
