Chapter 586: Chapter 48: Chen and Messi

”Real Madrid has arrived in Barcelona.”

”Yesterday, when Real Madrid arrived at El Prat Airport in Barcelona, we could see more than two thousand fans there to greet them.”

”It’s worth mentioning that when Real Madrid’s bus was heading from the airport to the hotel, a group of extremists threw stones at them.”

”One of the bus windows was even shattered.”

”Behind that shattered window was Chen Zhong.”

This Spanish El Clasico, in the pre-match predictions, some believe that more than a billion fans worldwide will watch this match.”

Back then, at Camp Nou, the young translator arrogantly declared in front of the camera before leading the team in their first El Clasico: ”If the match isn’t exciting enough, then blame me.”

Can Barcelona defeat Real Madrid in this clash of the century?

No one dares to be certain. Everyone knows that Barcelona’s attacking core is Messi, but Mourinho indeed has a strategy to deal with the Argentine star.

Messi has appeared in 49 Champions League matches, scoring 31 goals, but he has a goal drought when facing Mourinho-led teams.

Barcelona coach Guardiola’s recent dilemma has been how to unleash Messi’s full potential and avoid being restrained by Mourinho’s tactics.

Barcelona’s starting lineup has long been determined, but no one dares to guess Real Madrid’s starting lineup. Mourinho never plays by the book.

However, many still feel that Mourinho will play relatively conservative against Barcelona in this match.

After all, whether leading Chelsea or Inter, Mourinho’s teams have always played very conservatively against Barcelona.

Before the match, both teams had already announced their starting lineups.

Barcelona opted for a 4-3-3 formation:

Villa, Messi, Pedro

Iniesta, Busquets, Xavi

Abidal, Pique, Puyol, Alves

Valdes

Real Madrid went with a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Negredo

C. Ronaldo, Chen Zhong, Kaka

Alonso, Khedira

Marcelo, Cavaleiro, Pepe, Ramos

Casillas

Both teams are fielding their strongest lineups.

Camp Nou

Barcelona’s supporters arrived at the scene early, their enthusiasm blazing like fire, with the entire stadium echoing with their shouts.

Moreover, before the match, various little shows were prepared for Real Madrid, hoping to create some psychological pressure on the opposing players.

But the weather did not cooperate. When the sky turned gray as if it had cried, and rain fell on the Camp Nou pitch, Guardiola’s face turned somewhat gloomy, while Mourinho smiled.

To counter Barcelona’s pass-and-control, there has always been a ”trick,” which is to water the pitch heavily, making their play less smooth.

”CCTV, CCTV.”

”Now live broadcasting for you is the 13th round of La Liga.”

”The match between Barcelona and Real Madrid.”

”Without a doubt, Messi and Chen Zhong will be the focal points on the field in this match.”

”We can see that rain has started to fall from the sky.”

”And according to field data, the current temperature is only 8 degrees Celsius.”

”The wet and slippery weather seems to have somewhat negative effects on Barcelona.”

After a series of preparations, players from both teams entered the field.

Real Madrid got the kick-off.

Chen Zhong immediately passed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo on the flank upon receiving it.

This was planned before the match; if Real Madrid kicked off first, they would attempt to seize an early goal.

However, Barcelona played very tough in this match.

The Portuguese had just gotten the ball near the sideline and hadn’t steadied himself.

Abidal charged in.

His intent was clear: to give Real Madrid a fierce warning, Cristiano Ronaldo was directly brought down to the ground, as if an invisible thread had pulled him upward.

”The match has started.”

”Real Madrid with the kick-off.”

”Chen Zhong with a direct pass.”

”C. Ronaldo with the ball.”

”Abidal’s foul on the flank.”

”That fall wasn’t clear!”

”The referee.”

”No indication from the referee?”

”Barcelona’s counterattack!”

From the stands, Real Madrid’s fans voiced their dissatisfaction. Was there really no problem with Abidal’s rough action?

Barcelona fans, on the other hand, cheered for Abidal’s foul, holding the opposite view to Real Madrid’s fans.

The ball didn’t go out of bounds, Iniesta got hold of it.

His gaze locked between Villa and Messi, with Busquets nearby for support.

Their small triangle formation was already beginning to take shape.

Chen Zhong didn’t waste time upfront, immediately pulling back while loudly calling out teammates’ names, signaling to keep an eye on their targets.

”Iniesta.” Chen Zhong murmured the name.

Xabi Alonso is one of the hottest midfield combinations now, each of the three having their own characteristics.

Xavi is good at safe passes, and Iniesta has a certain ability to advance.

If it was Xavi holding the ball now, Chen Zhong wouldn’t waste time retreating, because Xavi is the ”mediocre” template; learning to play like him doesn’t require much talent.
