I Am Scouted by Real Madrid

Chapter 446: Chapter 73: The Unstoppable Chen

And during this process of sprinting forward, no one could stop Chen Zhong.

The Atletico Madrid players sensed the threat, but had no way to halt Chen Zhong’s steps. They could only do their best to interfere, and Flores, seeing this scene, couldn’t help but feel his heart jolt twice heavily.

Why can Chen Zhong dominate in La Liga? Because La Liga emphasizes small technical cooperation more, their foot skills are very good, but they are slightly inferior in physicality.

Moreover, the defense in La Liga is relatively ”Buddhist,” with not much intensity.

The emergence of Chen Zhong was almost equivalent to being overpowered.

His body, his strength, combined with his brain, all this leads to us knowing what he wants to do, where he wants to go, but still unable to solve this problem.

Just like now, just like this moment.

It’s a very simple one-two passing and running cooperation.

The way to stop Chen Zhong is also very simple, to play the role of a roadblock on Chen Zhong’s running route, making it not so easy for him to reach the designated position.

But the problem is...

He can’t be stopped!

They watched Chen Zhong in amazement, pushing aside the Atletico Madrid player beside him with his body, easily chest-downing the ball, then protected the ball, and charged all the way towards Atletico Madrid’s large penalty area.

He taunted the nerves of the Atletico Madrid players with such moves, and in the end, the Atletico Madrid players didn’t resist the temptation.

This is also Chen Zhong’s second terrifying trait.

He is not purely a brute; he has a broad vision, an overall view, adept at team coordination.

He not only has a long shot but also increasingly accurate short and long passes.

When Atletico Madrid players besieged Chen Zhong, he didn’t choose to resist. Instead, he quickly found a reasonable passing route and sent the ball to Ramos who was advancing up the flank.

At this moment, almost seven Real Madrid players occupied the Atletico Madrid half.

Negredo, Higuain, C. Ronaldo, Kaka, Chen Zhong, Ramos, Alonso.

So many passing routes, Atletico Madrid could block most but not all threats, and Chen Zhong found the safest and most threatening one.

This is also the smartest part about Chen Zhong.

He is not like Pirlo or Guti, players capable of delivering divine through balls. His passes are accurate now but lack some ”flair,” and he’s not like Barcelona, frequently making superfluous lateral passes.

Most of Chen Zhong’s passes are forward; they’re meant to create threats.

This is attributed to his ability to advance with the ball, protect it, having a wide view with teammates maneuvering around him, something Barcelona’s Busquets does not have.

Ramos, receiving the ball, showed no hesitation and once again performed a one-two play with Chen Zhong, sending the ball centrally.

Chen Zhong shrugged off the Atletico Madrid player beside him and charged forward.

Flores’ face changed; he recognized the familiar patterns in this series of attacks. Wasn’t this the same routine Atletico Madrid used just now to score?

Four attacking players in quick one-touch passes inside.

But the only difference is, Real Madrid has a core, and that core is Chen Zhong.

The Atletico Madrid’s danger zone was already filled with Real Madrid players, yet they couldn’t give up now because Chen Zhong was capable of a heavy cannon shot at the goal.

And young De Gea was even once blasted off guard by Chen Zhong’s Heavy Cannon

And in the match against Sevilla, their spiritual leader even got injured trying to save one of Chen Zhong’s full strikes from outside the penalty box.

Under such circumstances, how could they dare let Chen Zhong aim and shoot from outside the big penalty box!

The Atletico Madrid players rapidly closed in on Chen Zhong. Chen Zhong feigned a shot but actually pulled the ball back and passed it to Kaka on the flank.

After two or three matches, Kaka gradually regained his form. With the ball, he was like a sharp sword piercing straight into Atletico Madrid’s heart.

The Atletico Madrid defense line, like a cloth spread on a table, was quickly pulled out of shape.

”Continuous passing.”

”Kaka has the ball.”

”Inserts into Atletico Madrid’s big penalty area.”

”Reverse triangle!”

When Kaka penetrated deep enough, the Atletico Madrid players finally realized the danger, and as Kaka’s reverse triangle pass came out, two Atletico Madrid players were already closing in on Chen Zhong.

Facing this situation, Chen Zhong backhealed the ball with his heel.

Cristiano Ronaldo, slanting into Atletico Madrid’s big penalty area, had no hesitation and unleashed a high-quality powerful low shot.

As an attacking player, when charging forward, you must be prepared to shoot.

And although C. Ronaldo was criticized this season for wasting too many scoring opportunities, it didn’t change the fact he’s an excellent attacking player.

The ball, like a cruise missile, precisely drilled into the corner of the goal.

Standing in his position, his eyes fixed on Chen Zhong, De Gea’s vision was disrupted by his teammates and didn’t make any response.

”The ball is in!”

”The final heel kick was a stroke of genius.”

”C. Ronaldo didn’t miss this golden opportunity.”

”Precisely sends the ball into the net!”

”1:1”

”Real Madrid equalizes!”

Cristiano Ronaldo’s face brimmed with joy after scoring. Scoring is always something delightful for him, no matter the time.

Suppressing his urge to celebrate, he ran to retrieve the ball from the net, earning cheers from Real Madrid fans.

Flores stood by the sideline, his face completely darkened.

He replayed Atletico Madrid’s lost ball in his mind, realizing it was entirely due to Chen Zhong’s outstanding personal ability disrupting their midfield.

Finally, it was Kaka’s reverse triangle, and Chen Zhong’s selflessness in front of the goal when facing a shooting opportunity.

At that time, Chen Zhong had a direct shot chance, drawing the attention of surrounding players and the goalkeeper.

Few attacking players resist such temptation, but he just did it!

”He doesn’t deserve to be an attacking player!”

Flores gritted his teeth. He had prepared adequately before the match, but if the team doesn’t have a sufficiently strong defensive midfielder or midfielder.

Then they don’t have the ”qualification” to contend with Real Madrid’s midfield!

And on the internet, people also started discussing the recent goal, with some football players initiating model theories, while also criticizing the player modeling issues for Chen Zhong in some football games.

”Chen should at least have a characteristic model.”

”The current FIFA still gives Chen too low data.”

”In the game, Chen is clumsy and hard to use. Can’t they make him more realistic?”

In FIFA series games, players’ speed and models are what fans focus on. Perhaps because Chen Zhong initially played as a center-back, in some data, FIFA was conservative.

Moreover, at the start, Chen Zhong did have deficiencies in many areas.

But now, with Chen Zhong’s rapid improvement, he is gradually becoming a contender for the world’s best player title and single-handedly made some tall midfield and defensive players’ prices soar.

Especially Sevilla’s Fazio, although he didn’t fully contain Chen Zhong throughout the game, his ability to physically compete with Chen Zhong and limit his aggressiveness was already commendable.

If Atletico Madrid had a Fazio-like 195cm midfielder, the outcome might have been different just now!
