I Am Scouted by Real Madrid

Chapter 704: Chapter 9: Level Up

[Judgment in progress...]

[Weak foot completed 20 successful passes (achieved), weak foot completed one assist or one goal (not completed).]

[Special Training: Weak Foot (Upgradeable)]

[Special Training: Weak Foot 5 Stars (Upgraded Version)]

[In the match, weak foot completed 80 successful passes, weak foot completed 4 assists or 4 goals (weak foot completed one assist or one goal.)]

”So!” Chen Zhong’s eyes brightened slightly. The task in the last match wasn’t completed, no need to redo it, just need to upgrade the special training. After completing it, can it directly reach 5 stars?

Of course, this is just an ideal situation, after all, Real Madrid will face Atletico Madrid in the next match. Using the weak foot for 80 successful passes, along with 4 assists or 4 goals, isn’t that easy when facing Atletico Madrid, who are known for their defense.

And why is it 4 and not 3? It’s because the goal of upgrading the weak foot to 4.5 stars was not completed and merged with this one.

However, it seems he doesn’t necessarily have to complete the task in the next match.

...

After this match, Manchester City star Mario Balotelli once again spoke out arrogantly. Although this Manchester City star is recovering from an injury, he still frequently makes headlines in the media.

His unrestrained mouth is the catalyst the English media loves most.

This time, he compared the life qualities of Manchester City boss Mancini and Real Madrid boss Mourinho in front of the media.

”Mourinho is the best coach in the world, but he still needs to learn how to be a man.”

”Mancini is the most important coach I’ve ever met, and he will soon become the world’s top coach.”

”But when it comes to being a person, Mancini is already two kilometers ahead of Mourinho, wait, it should be ten kilometers.”

These comments also reached faraway Spain, reached Madrid, and reached the ears of Real Madrid players. At this time, Balotelli performed well, except for occasionally not being very normal, everything else was fine.

And Balotelli’s words also angered Real Madrid’s star Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese urged Balotelli to better shut his mouth.

Prior to the second leg of the King’s Cup against Atletico Madrid, this Portuguese player was straightforward in front of the media and said: ”Balotelli? He’s a good player, but he needs to talk less and think more about playing.”

”In England, if you listen, you can learn something. In the Premier League, if you’re willing to learn and know how to learn, you’ll become a better player; I hope Balotelli can do that.”

”But now he’s putting too much before his career, that’s not right.”

Mancini doesn’t care about Balotelli’s big mouth and believes that the Italian forward has freedom of speech. ”I haven’t seen his interview, so I don’t know what he said, but sometimes he likes to joke.”

”We live in a free world, and if someone wants to talk, it’s best to let them speak. I respect all opinions. We are not in a state of war; we have freedom of speech.”

Balotelli is currently undergoing recovery training in the United States, and there are reports he is about a month away from returning. Mancini said: ”Balotelli is training and maybe can return in three to four weeks. It is important for him to showcase his talent in the Premier League, which is the best league in the world.”

Mancini has always strongly supported Balotelli, and Balotelli indeed has a deep bond with him. For Mancini, Balotelli is like his child, and what harm could a child have in mind?

The situation also forced Mourinho to respond.

However, Mourinho did not target Balotelli nor mention Mancini, only expressing a regret.

”It’s truly a pity.”

”I originally wanted to draw Manchester City in the Champions League draw, but now it seems that it’s impossible to achieve this wish.”

Those unaware might think Mourinho regrets not drawing Manchester City, but those who know the facts understand that Manchester City didn’t even make it to the Champions League group stage and simply don’t have Champions League qualifications.

This was also a jab at Manchester City’s lack of ”qualification” to compete with Real Madrid.

In this context, Chen Zhong was inevitably interviewed, as previously, when Balotelli was interviewed, he also mentioned Chen Zhong, suggesting that Chen Zhong did not deserve the 2010 Ballon d’Or.

When reporters brought up this matter, Chen Zhong just smiled, then looked at the camera and said: ”I’ve heard about that comment. I think when he can stand on that stage, he will know what kind of experience it is.”

Chen Zhong’s words were simple, but the meaning was very clear.

Currently, Chen Zhong is the Ballon d’Or holder, captain of Real Madrid, and the highest-paid player in the football world.

While Balotelli is a focused ”genius,” he stands no advantage over Chen Zhong, whether it’s his physical superiority or age advantage.

...

The world quickly moved to the second leg of the King’s Cup.

Atletico Madrid hosts Real Madrid at home.

At Estadio Vicente Calderón, countless Atletico Madrid fans in red and white stripes gathered there. Perhaps they can’t overturn the result, but no matter the outcome, they are willing to face it with the team.
