I Am Scouted by Real Madrid

Chapter 571 - 41: Once More!



goals!

Real Madrid’s 700th goal in European competitions.

When Chen Zhong blasted the ball into Milan’s net with a Zidane-like heavenly strike.

Real Madrid fans all over the world couldn’t help but raise their hands and shout Chen Zhong’s name.

"Yes, it’s him!"

"I knew it would be Chen!"

"It had to be Chen who scored this 700th goal for us."

Even though Higuain and Cristiano Ronaldo have been in great form recently, with the Portuguese even achieving his first career four goals in a match.

But in the hearts of Real Madrid fans, if they have to give the honor of the 700th goal to one person, the vast majority would choose Chen Zhong.

This youth academy player who fought his way up.

Many Real Madrid fans even consider Chen Zhong as the "new Raul."

The San Siro Stadium fell silent after Chen Zhong scored this goal, while on another field, Ajax also equalized the score with Ousel.

If Real Madrid beats Milan, or even draws with Milan in this match.

Then whether Milan will advance remains a suspense until the next match.

After scoring, Chen Zhong lowered his hands, didn’t celebrate, and just rushed into the goal to retrieve the ball.

While the Portuguese, Argentine, and Brazilian quickly followed him back to their own half, waiting for the kickoff.

This was partly to show respect to Milan and partly to express Real Madrid’s desire to win this match.

Some extreme fans in the stands voiced their dissatisfaction, while more Milan fans had mixed feelings.

They were relieved that Chen Zhong didn’t celebrate but regretted that he didn’t waste some time celebrating.

Allegri paced back and forth on the sideline, looking quite anxious, but as he wasn’t a coach good at on-the-spot adjustments, he could only stand with his hands on his hips, wearing his classic worried expression, hoping his players could hold on.

Mourinho, on the other hand, raised his eyebrows and gave a trademark smile. He turned to Francisco beside him and said, "That’s more like it. It’s good for young people to have a sense of team spirit, but Chen..."

"I didn’t bring him here to be an obedient child."

"He needs to step up and have everyone rally around him."

"Only he can accomplish this."

As Mourinho spoke, he also sorted out his thoughts.

In the current Real Madrid locker room, among Chen Zhong, Cristiano Ronaldo, Higuain, and Kaka, only Chen Zhong gets "unlimited shooting authority" with minimal resistance from the others.

If it weren’t for Chen Zhong, the others would form their own cliques, with a mentality of "why should I support someone else?"

Simply put, no one wants to submit to anyone else.

This was evident from their first-half performance.

But in the second half, once determined to focus on Chen Zhong, the players’ mindset stabilized, and their intentions and efforts unified.

After Cristiano Ronaldo finished his performance.

Higuain, though already off the field, was unwilling to be outdone, but Di Maria, representing "Argentina," was still running on the pitch.

"Khedira intercepts."

"Passes to Benzema."

"Benzema with a back pass."

"Di Maria!"

"Wonderful!"

In the first half, Higuain and Di Maria had a similar scene, with Higuain setting up Di Maria, and then Di Maria creating opportunities for Higuain.

Their performance then made some fans gasp in amazement, although it somewhat felt rushed.

In the second half.

After Benzema and Di Maria coordinated, Di Maria directly broke through Milan’s defense line. On the right side of Milan’s penalty area, he faced Zambrotta’s pressure, using a beautiful stop and start move to outmaneuver the veteran.

"Breaks into the right side of the penalty area."

"Zambrotta."

"Di Maria maneuvered past the opponent."

"Nesta!"

Real Madrid’s offensive drive was fully reactivated. Previously, Real Madrid’s attack patterns were easily deciphered.

For instance, on Di Maria’s side, ultimately the ball was meant for Higuain.

But now Higuain was off the field, and Real Madrid had completed their 700-goal "task." Without any further particular goals, their frontal attacks suddenly diversified.

It was completely unclear what Di Maria planned to do next.

Nesta was originally preparing for Di Maria’s cross. Seeing Di Maria maneuver past Zambrotta, he wanted to continue exploring inside the penalty area and had to close in, aiming to intercept the ball quickly while Di Maria was still unstable.

But it seemed Di Maria was waiting for Nesta to make such a move.

He shifted the ball sideways, dodging Nesta’s interception, and evaded his "fierce collision" in a flash of movements, directly breaking into the penalty area.

Gattuso was the nearest to Di Maria but didn’t dare to act rashly because if he exposed any space, and Chen Zhong received the pass here, it would endanger the goal.

Di Maria’s first instinct was to look towards Chen Zhong.
