I Am Scouted by Real Madrid

Chapter 781: Chapter 44: Football’s Number One Heavy Cannon Shooter

Just like this!

Chen Zhong’s heavy cannon shot was so fast that it was hard to see with the naked eye, and blocking it was impossible. Even with the thick gloves, De Gea’s hands were still faintly aching!

After scoring, Chen Zhong first looked at De Gea, who was sitting on the ground looking dumbfounded, and nodded repeatedly, as if affirming his ability, or perhaps responding to his ”I can do it” at the start.

Then he ran to the corner flag, jumped high, and showed off his number 10 jersey.

And the Real Madrid fans who came with the team were shouting ”Chen” to express their affection for Chen Zhong.

”Monkey, monkey, here’s your banana!”

”Squinty eyes, you damn...”

”I XXX you...”

Atletico Madrid fans were angrily cursing, and all sorts of debris were thrown at Chen Zhong, but he didn’t care much about it.

Looking at the flushed Atletico Madrid players, he merely gave a deep look at the two tugging at their eyes and flipping the bird before returning to the field expressionlessly.

After De Gea stood up, he kept observing Chen Zhong’s expression. When he saw the fans provoking the opponent like that, he felt a jolt in his heart.

No...

What do you mean!

Do you want me to die in front of you?

”Oh, the home fans made some rather unpleasant gestures and actions.”

”Some Real Madrid players were displeased, but Chen Zhong held them back.”

”De Gea came to the sidelines, hoping fans could restrain their words and actions.”

”Simeone is also...”

Nobody wants to anger Chen Zhong, nobody.

When fans on the stands mocked Cristiano Ronaldo, mocked Marcelo, mocked Mourinho, Diego Simeone was indifferent, but when he heard them mocking Chen Zhong, this handsome rascal shuddered all over.

No, you’ve watched games for so long.

Then let me ask you.

Do you know what kind of player scares a defense system like mine the most?

What means worry us the most?

De Gea is the current main goalkeeper of the team, but do you know his weakness, are you clear about it?

Yes, we fear long shots!

De Gea’s reactions in front of the goal are quick, but he’s prone to slipping his hands.

And now, when Chen Zhong can almost be said to be the number one heavy cannon shooter in football, why provoke him?

Didn’t you see that after his second shot, De Gea couldn’t stand it anymore?

After persuading them, Diego Simeone looked at the field, saw Chen Zhong with no reaction and a gloomy face, and felt a sudden jolt in his heart.

”Atletico Madrid kicks off.”

”It’s given to Reyes on the sidelines.”

”Reyes takes the ball forward.”

”Real Madrid’s defense is very tough.”

”Reyes dodges Ramos’s slide tackle.”

”For this old teammate, Reyes is quite familiar.”

”Direct pass.”

Atletico Madrid is obviously a bit impatient; they desperately want to equalize quickly.

Reyes’ direct pass was very good, and Aguero’s positioning was very clever, but he started just a little too early, which meant he was in an offside position.

Pepe looked at Aguero, a grin on his grim face, this was an offside trap they deliberately set, so there was no urgency at all.

And Pepe’s smile was like a beam of light shining into Aguero’s heart. Aguero intentionally bumped into Pepe and then...

Collapsed onto the ground...

Looking expectantly at the referee...

The referee blew the whistle, took out a yellow card, and mercilessly handed it to Aguero.

”Diving!”

”The referee saw it very clearly.”

”Directly showed a yellow card to Aguero.”

”Receiving this yellow card, he will miss the next away game against Osasuna.”

”This is undoubtedly not good news for Simeone.”

This decision was like a fuse, instantly agitating the Atletico Madrid players and fans. The fans were shouting loudly from the stands, as if ready to rush down and beat the referee to death.

And the players were retreating while muttering, with some body movement, and it was fortunate that in the subsequent counterattack, Real Madrid didn’t score a goal, otherwise, it seemed they would have exploded on the spot.

The tension on the field became intense.

Mourinho and Diego Simeone both encouraged their players on the sidelines, urging them to be more assertive in their actions, more daring to fight.

”Atletico Madrid’s attack.”

”Thiago takes the ball.”

”Khedira brings him down to the ground.”

”The first half is nearing its end.”

”The referee blows the whistle.”

”Oh oh!”

”But the Atletico Madrid players are not satisfied with this!”

The match reached the 42nd minute; although Thiago was brought down by Khedira, the ball was still sent out from the scene. From the situation, Atletico Madrid was more likely to get the ball, and at this moment, the principle of advantage in the attack should have been applied.

But the referee blew the whistle, abruptly ending this scoring opportunity.

Two or three Atletico Madrid players jumped up, and even Atletico Madrid’s right-back Uyfalusi, who was closest to the ball at the time, shouted at the referee, muttering incessantly.

”The referee shows a yellow card!”

”Clearly expressing dissatisfaction with this player’s muttering.”

”I’m the boss on the pitch.”

”What I penalize you, you have to accept.”

”This decision actually didn’t apply the advantage rule.”

”Of course, the referee might have his own considerations.”

The Atletico Madrid fans on the stands were very dissatisfied, what does it mean, Khedira committed a foul, you blocked our advantageous attack, not giving a card to their side, yet giving us one.

Are you not planning to leave the Calderon today?

The heated stadium atmosphere easily infected the players within; in the ensuing period, the physical confrontations between the two teams increased significantly, and Atletico Madrid seemed to no longer care about scoring, just wanting to vent before the first half ended.

They knocked down Real Madrid players multiple times, whether it was their actions, expressions, or tone, all carried a very provocative meaning.

Before the end of the first half, Chen Zhong directly knocked down an Atletico Madrid player who deliberately initiated physical contact with him.

Suarez.

Or rather, Mario Suarez, this 185 cm Spanish player, fell backward with a roll, clearly, he came over on his own, but after suffering, it was as if he was the aggrieved one.

He rushed up, face flushed, wanting to argue with Chen Zhong, but as soon as he looked up, he saw Chen Zhong’s fierce expression, instantly turned smoothly, and went to complain to the referee.

”Didn’t you see?”

”Just now!”

Suarez made an elbow motion, implying he was attacked by Chen Zhong, his intention was obvious, he wanted Chen Zhong to receive a card.

The referee, annoyed by Atletico Madrid’s frequent fouls, looked at Chen Zhong, observing this calm player, and asked, ”Did you elbow him?”

”No.” Chen Zhong shook his head, looked at Suarez, and said, ”I was just accidentally hit by something.”

”Maybe it was a piece of paper.”

...

The first half ended, and the team entered the locker room with a two-goal lead. Diego Simeone’s face showed no sign of frustration; he called out the players’ names passionately, as if they still had hope.

Mourinho, on the other hand, patted each player on the shoulder with a relatively gentle attitude.

Atletico Madrid has nothing left to fight for this season, while Real Madrid is battling on three fronts, one in slippers, one in sneakers.

Listening to the curses from the home fans, Mourinho began to ponder the strategy for the second half.

Atletico Madrid’s rough defense made the Portuguese concerned.
