I Am Scouted by Real Madrid

Chapter 929: Chapter 24: All Right, All Right, Here Comes Paris!

This match was like a bombshell dropped into the football world, leaving everyone shocked by the final outcome.

They never expected that Chen Zhong would be able to lead Real Madrid to reverse Bayern Munich, and at the age of 35, even back home in Zhejiang, at 37 years old, Chen Zhong pulled off a hat-trick, completely dismantling Bayern Munich.

The media whipped up a storm after the match.

In Spain, Marca’s headline read:

”King Chen! The 35-year-old deity descends! Real Madrid’s epic comeback against Bayern Munich, tremble Paris Saint-Germain!”

Article: Chen Zhong first assisted Mbappe to score the opening goal, then with an almost miraculous hat-trick, pulled Real Madrid back from the brink.

His airborne kill even made Neuer admit after the match: ”That goal reminded me of the despair when facing Eevee in my younger days.”

Already a national team coach, Ancelotti openly said to the media: ”I suggest that as long as Chen Zhong can run and move, he’s the best candidate for the starting lineup.”

Even the mouthpiece of Barcelona, Catalonia’s newspaper, couldn’t help but praise Chen Zhong, given that this was an international match.

They stated that today, against Bayern Munich, that omnipotent Chen is back, but can he win his tenth Ballon d’Or?

No one knows!

Bild offered a melancholy replay of the match’s outcome, focusing not on Chen Zhong but instead on Tah.

”Tah’s red card ruined everything: From hero to villain in 90 minutes.”

Columnists harshly criticized Kompany’s tactical gamble: ”Letting Tah single-handedly defend Chen Zhong was a gamble, and you paid the price for impulsiveness.”

But they also acknowledged: ”Even if it were 11 vs. 11, Bayern Munich might not have been able to stop Chen Zhong on that night.”

And in China, domestic media fell into a long-lost celebration, as Chen Zhong’s appearances for Real Madrid have decreased, and it’s rare to see the top five hot searches all dominated by Chen Zhong.

Today’s Weibo hot search top five are entirely dominated:

#Chen Zhong hat-trick conquers Germany#

#Mbappe’s eyes on Chen Zhong cannot hide ambition#

#If Real Madrid wins the championship, can Chen Zhong win the Ballon d’Or?#

...

Domestic fans are also extremely enthusiastic about the discussions.

From Mbappe’s subtle expressions to Ballon d’Or predictions, the topics extend to the resilience challenges in player careers, contrasting with health crisis events to highlight Chen Zhong’s extraordinary achievements at an advanced age.

It’s not just these; Neuer proactively exchanged jerseys with Chen Zhong after the match and posted a picture on Instagram with the caption: ”20 years later, you’re still rewriting history.”

Tah posted a long message late at night, with Chen Zhong highlighting it and responding: ”You made it the hardest time I’ve ever played; the future belongs to you.”

Facing Chen Zhong’s highlight and response, Tah, only 4-5 years younger than Chen Zhong, couldn’t help but recall a famous Roma Team vice-captain and Buffon’s backup.

At this time, fans also noticed one thing: in the originally leaked Champions League promo video with the ”New Era” theme, an added slow-motion shot of Chen Zhong’s volley appears.

This led many fans to joke, really keeping up with current events.

Seeing Chen Zhong awaken again, rewriting the script overnight, isn’t it!

...

Real Madrid’s next opponent is Paris Saint-Germain, and reporters flocked to interview Chen Zhong for his views.

Chen Zhong casually remarked at the press conference: ”Paris Saint-Germain is strong? These old bones of mine at 37 (note: actually 35, deliberately joking by Chen Zhong) might not be able to outrun Mbappe, but football is played with feet.”

This comment was angrily denounced as ”selling old age” by Paris Saint-Germain fans but sent Real Madrid’s locker room into fits of laughter.

There are some ”grievances” between Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, and last season, there were a few ”stories” with Mbappe and Paris Saint-Germain.

Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and Mbappe are practically the year’s big drama.

Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain nearly reveal all those little secrets of modern football.

What is the legacy of a prestigious club? What is the capital bubble?

Look at the ”story after story” of these two clubs, comparable to Zhen Huan Chuan, no, even more thrilling!

Let’s start with Real Madrid!

Some netizen imagines that those players, looking at Mbappe, might say: ”Mbappe, before you came, we were already Champions League champions,” this sounds proud, but they have the capital to be proud!

Think about the Champions League trophy with 14 stars engraved on it; each star was ground through ironclad defense and teamwork cooperation!

From Di Stefano’s era of ”five consecutive championships” to Chen Zhong’s era of ”three consecutive champions,” Real Madrid has basically never relied on a ”single superstar saving the world.”

Chen Zhong is a rare player, but even Chen Zhong, in the 2022 match against Liverpool, was the core.

Let us not forget Casemiro’s suppression, Eder Militao’s headers, and Ancelotti’s calm with that ”wolfberry soaked in a thermos cup” stance!

The championship gene is engraved in their bones, making Real Madrid unflustered in the face of adversity, especially with Chen Zhong, there’s truly no need for panic.

After all, they’ve performed a spectacle of comeback from adversity more than once.

Chen Zhong’s nine Ballon d’Or trophies say it all.

Now let’s look at Paris Saint-Germain!

”Mbappe, after you left, we became Champions League champions,” countless fans are repeatedly brushing this line after Paris Saint-Germain won the championship.
