I Am Scouted by Real Madrid

Chapter 485: Chapter 93: So Close Yet So Far

”Damn Van Gaal!”

”Can’t he act like a man?”

”Boo~ Boo~ Boo~, are you guys even men? A bunch of wimps!”

Real Madrid fans in the stands were extremely angry, and many even tried to climb down.

In the 26th minute, Real Madrid successfully changed the score to 3:0 thanks to Kaka’s brilliant goal, making the aggregate score 4:5. Just one more goal, and Real Madrid could eliminate Bayern Munich with the advantage of away goals.

But after conceding this goal, Bayern Munich began to retract their whole line!

The mighty Bundesliga champion, Bundesliga giant, Bundesliga powerhouse!

Setting up a bus at this time!?

Absolutely shameless!

Which made the remaining time of the first half seem quite ugly, though Real Madrid had the initiative, they couldn’t break through Bayern Munich’s defense again.

Van Gaal stood expressionless by the sidelines and hugged every player.

He needed to make adjustments during halftime to change the course of the game.

And Pellegrini, not far away, looked at Van Gaal with a thoughtful expression.

”Chen, how are you?” As the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, Kaka immediately ran to Chen Zhong who was bent and gasping on the pitch.

In this game, his running was the most of the whole field.

Even in matches with less running, his first-half amount could rival the total of the two least running players.

”I’m fine.” Chen Zhong exhaled, licking his slightly dry lips: ”I can handle it!”

Don’t judge Chen Zhong by his current state; he is a man with the ”durability” badge.

The ”durability” badge allows him to recover more stamina during halftime, but if the intensity of running and physical confrontation continues like the first half.

In a state where Chen Zhong’s ”fuel tank” isn’t full, he might soon run out of gas.

But others didn’t know this; they only saw Chen Zhong looking like he might collapse from exhaustion.

”Oscar!”

”Oscar!!!” Pellegrini loudly called Oscar Garro: ”Quick, give him some relaxation.”

Compared to the beginning of the season, Pellegrini now clearly knew who was his key player.

Seeing Oscar Garro going to assist Chen Zhong, Pellegrini looked at Francisco and said: ”Chen’s stamina might not be enough to complete the entire game; do you have any good suggestions?”

Francisco had been in Real Madrid’s first team for three seasons.

Thanks to his achievement in recommending Chen Zhong to Schuster in the 07-08 season, his status at the club was rare and special.

Francisco looked at Pellegrini, a touch of hesitation on his round face: ”My suggestion is, don’t make any changes. Even if Chen doesn’t have enough stamina, as long as he’s on the field, he can contribute to the team.”

”Just like Rooney’s role on the field in the match between Manchester United and Bayern Munich.”

In the match between Bayern Munich and Manchester United, Rooney, dragging an injured leg, posed a clear threat to Bayern Munich’s defense, and after Rooney left the field, Bayern Munich completely ”let loose.”

Successfully completing the comeback.

Francisco wanted to use this real example to advise Pellegrini.

Pellegrini nodded, not giving a definite answer, but his expression seemed to have absorbed the information.

”The first half is over!”

”Real Madrid, thanks to Chen Zhong’s volley.”

”C. Ronaldo’s clever chip.”

”Kaka’s shot past the keeper.”

”Changed the aggregate score to 4:5.”

”Just one more goal, they can eliminate Bayern Munich with the advantage of away goals.”

”Successfully enter the Champions League final!”

”If they can defeat Inter Milan in the Champions League final, Real Madrid almost certainly will win the league, and with Sevilla in the King’s Cup, there’s a high chance of achieving a Triple Crown!”

”This would be Real Madrid’s first Triple Crown in history!”

”At the start of the season, nobody thought Pellegrini could reach this level.”

Halftime break quickly passed, and both teams returned to the field. Real Madrid missed their best chance; after all, Van Gaal is a top coach, and surely Bayern Munich will address their shortcomings after halftime adjustments.

And Real Madrid also returned to the field.

The team’s adjustments were quite obvious.

Negredo would retreat more to the midfield, which meant he would be farther from the goal.

And Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Chen Zhong would fill his missing area, further reducing Negredo’s shooting rights.

”Ladies and gentlemen!”

”We are broadcasting live the UEFA Champions League semifinals.”

”The match between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.”

”It’s now the second half, the score on the field is 3:0.”

”After a brief rest, players from both teams have returned to the field.”

”The last shot of the first half focused on Chen Zhong panting on the field.”

”Clearly, his stamina consumption in the first half was very high.”

”Bayern Munich used intensive defense for most of the first half to prevent further goals against.”
