I Am Scouted by Real Madrid

Chapter 706: Chapter 10: Monster

"Weak foot, chip shot!" frёewebnoѵēl.com

"Chen is improving again!"

"His weak foot and strong foot don’t seem to have much difference now."

Reyes’ injury and Diego Costa’s appearance didn’t attract much attention, as everyone’s focus was on the recent goal.

Chen Zhong used his weak foot during a fast movement, amidst physical confrontations, to complete a goal with a skillful chip shot.

The more knowledgeable about football understand the "value" of this series of actions, and as they were surprised by Chen Zhong’s improvement, they also feared the "monster" for being increasingly all-powerful.

How does he improve so quickly?

How can he be so versatile?

How... how...

People excitedly discussed that if there was a reason Chen Zhong always sparked a buzz about him, his rapid improvement is definitely a key factor.

Mourinho raised an eyebrow on the sidelines, looking at Francisco and saying, "Players like him succeed no matter what."

"Continuously improving, always striving, always trying to surpass himself."

At this point, Mourinho glanced at Diego Simeone, who looked serious not far away, then turned back to Francisco and smirked, "Victory is near!"

The aggregate score has reached 5:1.

Real Madrid has a 4-goal advantage, including an away goal.

The likelihood of Atletico Madrid turning the situation around to advance is extremely low.

To exaggerate a bit, it’s almost zero.

After Diego Costa came on, he has been eager to help the team and become the hero, who in all of La Liga or even the world football scene doesn’t want to be the next Chen Zhong?

Decisive goal in the cup final, league substitute called to duty, finally securing a starting position at Real Madrid.

"Both sides have entered a stalemate phase."

"We could see from the sidelines that Mourinho looks quite relaxed."

"After all, they are leading in score, and Real Madrid centers around Chen Zhong, firmly controlling the pace of the match."

"Exhausting Atletico Madrid players’ stamina."

"Atletico Madrid hardly has any decent attacks."

"Only had a few good defensive performances."

In the 40th minute of the match, Real Madrid got a decent chance, Alonso passed the ball, Ramos, who had one assist in the match, advanced, then took a powerful shot from the right front edge of the penalty area.

The shot was impressive, but unfortunately, it didn’t go within the goal frame.

Real Madrid players weren’t too bothered, as seen from their expressions, they seem to be "playing" somewhat, and the only reason they’re not completely goofing off is Chen Zhong still loudly motivating them.

"Focus!"

"Watch your position!"

"Don’t relax!"

Chen Zhong shouted loudly, Real Madrid fighting on multiple fronts, and advancing powerfully on all sides, which obviously is a severe test of the players’ stamina.

This match is pretty much over, qualifying for the King’s Cup is a certainty.

Although the team’s tasks are not yet complete, for the sake of the big picture, Chen Zhong did not wish for the team to clash strongly with Atletico Madrid, which now has "no value."

The first half ended with Chen Zhong taking a long-range shot with the outside of the foot from outside the penalty box.

The ball traced a strange arc.

Chen Zhong side-footed the ball towards the other end of the goal, if not for the post saving it, Atletico Madrid would’ve conceded again.

"Whoa!" Cristiano Ronaldo displayed a surprised expression looking at Chen Zhong, as if asking, hey, when did you secretly learn this trick?

Even Kaka came over to say a few whispers to Chen Zhong, Marcelo shouting excitedly.

The Real Madrid players looked harmonious and happy.

Contrasting with Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid’s mindset wasn’t as good.

Diego Costa wore a solemn face, after coming on, apart from mingling with others and few verbal conflicts, he had little performance, while other players after Reyes’ departure, mostly had some achievements in defense.

Fran’s eyes seemed lost, not knowing what he’s thinking, Aguero also kept his head down, said nothing, and quickly headed to the locker room.

Hope Diego Simeone has a trick up his sleeve during halftime!

...

Apparently, he didn’t!

The second half of the match could be said to be rather dull.

Diego Simeone seemed already resigned, as in the second half, clearly treating the match as defensive training, Atletico Madrid held firm on defense at their own home stadium, as if they hadn’t conceded goals, as if they were the ones leading.

And this action had certain effects, at least Real Madrid didn’t breach Atletico Madrid’s gate again, shattering Diego Costa’s dream of making a name for himself.

The final score settled at 0:1.

Real Madrid advanced successfully to the King’s Cup semifinals with a 5:1 score, thus the four semi-finalists of the King’s Cup were Real Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, Almeria.

This season Almeria apparently placed their bets on the King’s Cup, but given the current situation their bet seems misplaced.

Even Almeria’s fans didn’t expect they could snatch the trophy from Real Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, right!
