I Am Scouted by Real Madrid

Chapter 484: Chapter 92: Incredible! Kaka! (2)

At the same time, looking not far away, Ribery, who had boasted in the player tunnel about wanting to also ride on Chen Zhong’s shoulders, displayed a ”kind” smile, causing Ribery to shiver involuntarily.

”Bayern Munich’s throw-in.”

”Chen Zhong and Robben seem to be on good terms.”

”They appear to be chatting and laughing.”

The throw-in is launched, Lam receives the ball and cuts inside along the sideline. Chen Zhong’s eyes are fixed on Ivica Olic; many teams have their own offensive routines.

Just like in a game, if you understand the mechanisms and skills of the opposing champion, selecting a countering champion can successfully establish a dominant relationship, similar to the Hand of Noxus and the Grandmaster at Arms in LOL. The Grandmaster can wait for the Hand of Noxus to provoke outside the outer circle, then jump onto him while activating Counter Strike.

Ivica Olic is undoubtedly Bayern Munich’s ”Terminator” in the middle. He has scored several crucial goals in this season’s Champions League.

Robben noticed Chen Zhong’s departure.

For some unknown reason, Chen Zhong gave Robben a great deal of psychological pressure.

Even though they are friends, he always feels that Chen Zhong is watching him with ill intent, ready to tackle him at any moment.

”Bayern Munich’s attack.”

”Lam has the ball.”

”Olic is positioning himself.”

”In the previous offense, Olic almost had a great opportunity.”

”If it weren’t for Chen Zhong, that might have been a goal.”

”Look at Lam’s choice!”

”Robben is calling for the ball!”

Seeing Chen Zhong leaving, Robben decisively raised his hand to request the ball from Lam. Without any hesitation, Lam passed the ball back to Robben, though Robben had been tackled twice this match.

But for the team’s breakthrough player, losing the ball is normal.

As Robben received the ball, the words ”cut inside” appeared in everyone’s mind, including the defensive player in front of him who was prepared for it.

But when Robben really cut inside.

No one could stop him!

No one!

Robben, facing the defender, pushed the ball at an angle backward while keeping distance from the defender. Once he created a gap, Robben leaned his body and went for a curved shot towards the far corner of the goal.

This left Chen Zhong, who had quickly adjusted his position to the top of the penalty arc, to pin his hopes on Casillas’s heroic performance.

It must be noted, Real Madrid holds an away goal advantage, but if Bayern Munich could score one or even two goals at Real Madrid, then Real Madrid would need to score one more goal to eliminate them.

The ball traced an arc, precisely bypassing the defenders, and Robben stood still, watching the ball with anticipation.

Casillas dove, gave his all, yet still did not touch the ball.

Real Madrid’s fans stretched their necks, while Bayern Munich’s fans were filled with hope.

However, fate still favored Real Madrid. The ball grazed the crossbar and flew out of bounds, leaving Robben with a frustrated expression—perhaps he should have aimed more centrally?

Robben’s cut inside should be called a ”cut inside shot”; besides this method, there’s another way which is to cut inside directly when other spaces are available.

And in such diagonal movements, a better shooting angle can also be found.

Robben originally thought this way, but seeing Chen Zhong already positioned on his route, the frustration vanished.

If he really followed his original plan, he might not even have had the chance to shoot.

”Stay focused!”

”Pepe, Marcelo!” Chen Zhong shouted his teammates’ names, seriously advising, ”We have been teammates with Robben for a long time, everyone should be familiar with his techniques.”

”We must not let him easily get such shooting opportunities again.”

”Never place your hopes on the elusive fate.”

As Chen Zhong called out his teammates’ names, they listened attentively, each doing their part, weaving an invisible net for Bayern Munich to ensnare them.

Van Gaal felt somewhat regretful—if it had been the Robben in normal condition, that shot would probably have curled into the corner. But Chen Zhong’s two tackles had somewhat affected Robben’s state.

Not in terms of injury, but emotionally.

”25th minute of the match.”

”Chen Zhong tackled Ribery.”

”The ball did not go out of bounds.”

”Ramos quickly returned the ball to Chen Zhong.”

”Chen Zhong is advancing with the ball through the middle.”

”Schweinsteiger.”

Under Van Gaal’s coaching, Schweinsteiger was gradually transformed into a ”defensive midfielder.” His previous training in alpine ski racing endowed him with a strong physique and steady balance, coupled with the inherent ”tenacity” of Germans.

Though challenging, the 180cm Schweinsteiger remained half-draped over Chen Zhong instead of falling to the ground, and managed to support himself with difficulty.

Chen Zhong didn’t run too far with the ball, not because he was out of energy, but because he noticed Cristiano Ronaldo positioning himself in the distance.

He sent a precise diagonal pass.

Cristiano Ronaldo, upon receiving the ball, flicked it with his heel while using his body to shield Lam, getting past him.

Then, as Bayern Munich players inclined towards him, he delivered a long pass to the far side to Kaka.

Kaka received the ball, swiftly shook off the defender tangling with him, and charged into Bayern Munich’s penalty area.

At that moment, the spectators couldn’t help but all rise, eyes fixed on Kaka, hoping against hope that he either scores or fails.

”Kaka!”

”Cristiano found Kaka!”

”A clear shot on goal opportunity!”

”If this goal is scored, the aggregate will change to 5-4.”

”Real Madrid just needs one more goal to reach the final!”

After receiving the ball, Kaka accelerated from a standstill, escaping from the defender.

Bayern Munich’s goalkeeper, Hans But, facing Kaka, didn’t wait for death at the goal and chose to charge out again, because of being chipped by Cristiano Ronaldo earlier.

This time, Hans But evidently prepared for such a situation.

What would you do?

Chip shot?

Curled shot?

Low shot?

Having not played for three months, Kaka’s form wasn’t the best; Hans But waved his arms and shouted, trying to pressure Kaka.

Yet, Kaka remained very calm.

Not a chip shot!

Not a curved shot!

Not a low shot!

Instead, with a pendulum dribble-like move, he directly got past Hans But!

Kaka

Chose to round the goalkeeper and shoot!

The fans erupted; after beating the goalkeeper, almost no one could stop Kaka from sending the ball into the net.

Unless he missed the shot!

But that was impossible!

Kaka accurately delivered the ball into the net.

”Goal!”

”Kaka!”

”Scores after rounding the goalkeeper!”

”Truly bold with extraordinary skills!”

”3-0”

”Aggregate score: 5-4”

”Just one more goal!”

”With just one more goal! Real Madrid, with the advantage of an away goal, can knock out Bayern Munich and complete an astonishing reversal!”

”Bayern Munich’s fans clearly didn’t expect their team to concede three goals in just the first half.”

”Van Gaal must think of a solution.”

Real Madrid fans were overflowing with excitement; cheers echoed around the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich fans were left bewildered, shouting loudly, some even yelling Van Gaal’s name, urging him to think of something!
