But Aguero, when facing Chen Zhong, always cos up short, never gaining any advantage.
This feeling persisted until De Gea beca a butterfingers due to a heavy shot, offering so relief.
Aguero felt he was not alone.
He was not the only one living under Chen Zhong’s shadow.
And today, after bypassing Khedira once more, Aguero was like a sharp sword threatening Real Madrid’s throat, while De Gea, facing another heavy shot, used his hands to firmly press down the ball, no longer a butterfingers.
Even though it wasn’t Chen Zhong they were facing, it undeniably provided a psychological hint, which was: we are capable.
Why did Atletico Madrid lose before?
The front attack couldn’t be launched, the midfield organization couldn’t connect, the defense at the back couldn’t hold firm, and the goalkeeper’s butterfingers made them uneasy.
But now, everything seed different.
In the first Derby de Madrid after changing coaches, Aguero could dribble past and shoot, De Gea was no longer a butterfingers.
Maybe under that passionate man’s lead, they truly could break the long-standing record, earning a draw or even a victory at Real Madrid’s ho, at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium?
Real Madrid’s players looked at the obviously hyped-up Atletico Madrid players.
Their gazes naturally fell on Chen Zhong.
The core of a team is embodied here; in tis of difficulty, who do players look to, Chen Zhong first glanced at Cristiano Ronaldo and gave a thumbs up, acknowledging the Portuguese’s recent offensive efforts.
Then he pointed to himself, signaling the Portuguese to mind his positioning in the ongoing match.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s expression turned serious, in the previous few matches, perhaps influenced by external factors, or maybe he felt it was for the greater good, Chen Zhong still inserted himself forward but reduced his attacking frequency, leaving room and opportunity for the two flanks to attack.
It was only thus that Cristiano Ronaldo had more shooting opportunities, gradually seizing more firing rights.
But now Chen Zhong wanted to take back this right, and the Portuguese felt no anger because he himself wanted Chen Zhong to bombard De Gea with his heavy shots.
No, what level are you at?
Daring to question my friend, my chosen opponent?
After seeing Cristiano Ronaldo nod, Chen Zhong then turned his gaze to Khedira, Khedira is a new addition to Real Madrid this season, his role is to ease Chen Zhong and Alonso’s defensive duties.
Since joining Real Madrid, this young German midfielder has long yearned to prove himself, and he was easily bypassed by Aguero just now, allowing the Argentine to face the goalkeeper directly and make a shot.
If it weren’t for Casillas’s extraordinary performance, Real Madrid would be trailing now.
"Focus up."
Chen Zhong didn’t say much, just firmly patted Khedira’s shoulder.
The match continued, Atletico Madrid threw the ball from the backfield, fans on the stands astonishingly observed Chen Zhong’s position seed to pull back a little.
anwhile, Pellegrini, watching the match at ho, displayed a disdainful smile and said, "He still has to be like after all."
"Chen has never been a one-dinsional player; his all-powerful nature makes you feel that letting him lean anywhere would waste his other talents."
"Whether it’s attack, organization, or defense, he can achieve the top level."
Regarding the use of Chen Zhong, last season so inclined to push Chen Zhong to the front line, and this season so leaned towards having Chen Zhong return to midfield for organization, and the "extre" view believed in Mourinho’s hands, Chen Zhong should be a central defender, is the best.
But Pellegrini believes that Chen Zhong is best in the midfield, and not as a central organizer, but as an all-powerful midfielder that has risen in recent years, abbreviated as B2B.
Only this can fully exert Chen Zhong’s talent.
The only concern is Chen Zhong’s stamina.
But Chen Zhong’s stamina has been continuously improving.
Also, speed.
If soone carefully observes Chen Zhong’s running speed from his debut to now, they would realize, Chen Zhong’s speed now is not considered slow.
"Atletico Madrid’s attack."
"This ti they changed the side."
"Simão with the ball moved to the left side of the penalty area."
"Chose to cross."
"Didn’t pass to Aguero."
"It went to Thiago!"
"Thiago tried to shoot."
"Pepe blocked this shot."
Aguero raised his hands expressing dissatisfaction, now he was brimming with confidence, with Chen Zhong right beside him, he needed a pass from his teammates to prove himself.
But the teammates didn’t trust him!
Damn Simão!
Pass to !
Aguero mumbled, but Chen Zhong just felt like laughing.
"Real Madrid’s attack."
"The ball goes to Chen Zhong."
"Chen Zhong finds Cristiano Ronaldo!"
"Starting off very quickly."
"Atletico Madrid attempts to suppress."
"Don’t just focus on the flanks!"
"Cross!"
Real Madrid’s attack this ti was obviously a retaliation and replication of Atletico Madrid’s offense.
The ball smashed toward the area near Negredo in the penalty box, Negredo then with a header passes back to Chen Zhong outside the box, facing the airborne ball, Chen Zhong adjusts his posture, his gaze sharp as a sword directly piercing into De Gea’s eyes.
De Gea’s body trembles slightly.
A strong premonition arises within!
He’s going to shoot!
He is going to bombard !
Goding attempted to stop Chen Zhong from the side, but instead beca a stand for Chen Zhong, slightly tilting Chen Zhong’s body, nearly half of his body pressed on Goding, then executed a smooth shot.
"Bang~"
This muffled sound clearly reached Goding’s ears.
And De Gea’s muscles tightened throughout his body, hands clasped, lunging towards where the ball was smashing.
Numb, tingling!
Uncontrollable!
The force was overwhelming, instantly making De Gea realize he couldn’t control it.
The ball bounced off, while Kaka rapidly rushed in from the side!
"Chen Zhong!"
"Shoots from outside the penalty area!"
"In the air!"
"De Gea!"
"Failed to control it!!!!!"
"Fumbled!"
"Kaka with the follow-up shot!"
"Goal scored!!!!!!"
"Goal~"
"Uh?"
"The linesman raised the flag."
"Offside."
"The referee signals offside."
"Kaka’s rebound goal."
"However, as offside was called first, the referee signaled the goal was disallowed."
The Santiago Bernabeu Stadium was initially a sea of joy, but upon seeing the referee’s ruling, many fans instantly cursed in anger.
anwhile, Atletico Madrid fans wiped the sweat off their foreheads, feeling like they narrowly escaped a disaster.
No, De Gea, why are you deceiving us!
For two seasons already, you’ve said you’re not afraid of Chen Zhong anymore.
Yet every ti you end up a ss after facing Chen Zhong.
This ti we thought you had risen? What happened?
Look at the power of Chen Zhong’s shot just now, could you handle it?
Even with thick gloves on, De Gea still felt the throbbing pain transferred to his palms, looking at Chen Zhong with a heart still racing.
Chen Zhong’s heavy shot power.
Damn it,
are you still human?
Chen Zhong noticed De Gea’s look and revealed a satisfied smile.
If we calculate with player performance trics, Carlos’s heavy shot probably rates around 99.
And now Chen Zhong is only slightly below that according to the data.
However, with other strength-related factors adding up, it compensates entirely.
So, my friend,
are you ready?
I’m going to bombard you with my heavy shot.
