I Am Scouted by Real Madrid

Chapter 533: Chapter 22: Simply Incredible!

Real Madrid is blossoming with multiple goals, and their fluid attack makes the fans watch with great joy.

This match sees Cristiano Ronaldo especially active, he is full of energy in the front, hitting Milan’s defense time and again, even forcing Gattuso to use a sliding tackle to stop him.

”He has learned to cooperate with the team.”

This is a thought that comes to the minds of many.

A paradox in football is that when you only think about yourself, sometimes your performance can be worse, but when you increasingly contribute to the team, your performance can become better and even make you feel at home.

The current Cristiano Ronaldo is in this feeling-at-home state.

”He doesn’t seem as anxious anymore.” A trace of admiration flashed in Francisco’s eyes.

Previously, Cristiano Ronaldo was very anxious, always thinking about scoring himself, but now he also starts to think about his teammates, improving his performance while also gaining more trust from them.

You should know, Real Madrid only has one Chen Zhong.

And Chen Zhong contributes in defense, organization, and attack, he is a ”social butterfly” loved by the club executives.

You?

Why should we sacrifice ourselves to help Cristiano Ronaldo, what ability do you have to set up a dominion, take the ball and shoot thoughtlessly, charge recklessly?

”C. Ronaldo’s condition is very good.”

”Another highly threatening breakthrough.”

”We can see his attitude in this game is very relaxed.”

”His smile and body language both indicate he is in his best state now.”

”Real Madrid plays so threateningly in this game.”

”And it is inseparable from C. Ronaldo’s activity on the left.”

”Of course, there’s also Chen Zhong delivering the ball from the center to the front.”

Milan has been in a passive state, Allegri is a bit anxious on the sidelines, but there is no good way, he can only make the players’ actions more aggressive, trying to disrupt Real Madrid’s rhythm this way.

But with Chen Zhong’s outstanding dirty-work ability and ball protection, plus the help of Alonso and Khedira, Milan hasn’t achieved anything.

”Real Madrid’s ball control.”

”Chen Zhong controls the ball at his feet.”

”Boateng steps forward trying to intercept.”

”Chen Zhong passes the ball back to Alonso.”

”Alonso makes a long pass, finding C. Ronaldo.”

Alonso has the skill for long passes, he accurately finds Cristiano Ronaldo starting on the left side, after receiving the ball, C. Ronaldo uses a sudden stop to escape the defense on the left side of the penalty box, then cuts the ball inside the box.

Gattuso quickly closed in on C. Ronaldo, C. Ronaldo staggered and fell in the penalty area after body contact with Gattuso.

At that moment, the Real Madrid fans in the stands created a huge noise, and Mourinho on the sidelines was also raising his hands, indicating it was a penalty.

However, the main referee Proenca showed no reaction, the Portuguese referee who had sent Mourinho to the stands twice before ignored C. Ronaldo who was raising his hand for the ball on the ground, indicating the game should continue.

Cristiano Ronaldo saw this and also raised his hands, muttering under his breath.

”He touched me!”

”He kicked my leg!”

”Damn it.”

Cristiano Ronaldo muttered under his breath, and at this time the TV, seemingly knowing the curiosity of the fans, began to broadcast the slow-motion replay.

Slow motion showed that Gattuso did indeed kick C. Ronaldo’s leg during the defense.

But whether the force was enough to cause C. Ronaldo to lose balance is open to interpretation.

”C. Ronaldo seems emotionally charged.”

”From the slow-motion, we can see Gattuso did kick C. Ronaldo’s leg.”

”Milan dodged a bullet.”

”How do you say it!”

”C. Ronaldo is quite famous now.”

”Referees are cautious about fouling him.”

Cristiano Ronaldo suffered a lot of fouls in the Premier League, he learned how to protect himself.

But he also uses this protective mechanism to ”dive” and win some penalties.

And after a few successful attempts by C. Ronaldo, later referees became more cautious about his falls.

They don’t want to be overly focused by the media after the game because of C. Ronaldo’s fall.

Chen Zhong also noticed Milan’s increasing focus on the left side, to avoid Cristiano Ronaldo getting overwhelmed by anger, Chen Zhong surprisingly chose Kaka’s side twice in the next attack.

Kaka did not disappoint, twice helping teammates threaten the goal.

Unfortunately, the shots from Negredo and Chen Zhong didn’t break Milan’s goal, Milan gradually found their rhythm and feeling again, they started to play ”avoiding” Real Madrid in midfield.

”Barcelona’s Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets.”

”Real Madrid’s Chen Zhong, Alonso, Khedira.”

”These two La Liga giants’ midfielders are probably the strongest midfield combination in today’s football world.”

Real Madrid has completely controlled the pace of the game, even Khedira had one or two threatening passes in the center, and Marcelo dared to go deep down the line.
