I Am Scouted by Real Madrid-Chapter 394 - 49: Another Path (Character Fate Lines Shifted)

Shao Luyi seemed somewhat uneasy. He looked at Chen Zhong and said, "Give me a chance!"

"How am I supposed to give you a chance?"

"Before, I had no choice, but now, you can help me!"

"Talk to the coach, see if he’ll give you a chance!"

Shao Luyi was the first to try and pull strings, but he certainly wouldn’t be the last. This sort of thing can’t be allowed to set a precedent, and even making it into the main team doesn’t guarantee success. How many appearances have Callejon, Parejo, and Granero had now?

Power cannot be abused, or else one day the current "banner" of Real Madrid will become a real cancer.

This is something that Chen Zhong cannot accept.

"But everyone knows it!"

"The current main team is decided by you!"

"I just need an opportunity." Shao Luyi said with some reluctance. If he was willing to accept a loan, he would have agreed when his agent hinted at it. He believes he’s completely capable of standing his ground in the main team; all he lacks is the opportunity!

In 2007, Chen Zhong was able to seize the opportunity and secure his place in Real Madrid’s main team. In 2010, if he could only get into the main team, he was sure he could do it too.

Chen Zhong didn’t ask who claimed he was the one in charge of the main team; instead, he looked at Shao Luyi and said, "You disrespect me."

"If it were Raul standing in front of you, would you dare to make such a demand?"

Chen Zhong glanced over at Oscar Garro, who came over understandingly to stop Shao Luyi from saying anything further. After a moment of silence, Shao Luyi looked at Chen Zhong and said sternly, "I’ll be back sooner or later."

Shao Luyi had already accepted the loan arrangement, but he believed he would return sooner or later.

After all, last season, when he was included in the Champions League squad, the media praised him as the next Ibrahimovic, and he believed he wouldn’t be inferior to Ibrahimovic. As long as he had a stage, he would surely shine.

Today, Real Madrid ignores him, but tomorrow Real Madrid won’t be able to reach him.

This is what it means to be young...

Chen Zhong watched Shao Luyi’s departing figure with a thoughtful look in his eyes. Although he had already secured his place in Real Madrid, because of his age, many people instinctively underestimated him. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Shao Luyi’s actions this time were a form of disrespect towards him. If Raul had been there, would he dare to insist so bluntly, "Let me play in the main team! I know you can do it."

After Shao Luyi left, Oscar Garro expressed his apologies to Chen Zhong. "Chen, I’m truly sorry. I really didn’t expect him to do this; he was just too anxious. You know, the competition here is very fierce."

"How is Alvaro?"

Referring to Alvaro Negredo, Alvaro Morata, Chen Zhong was asking about Alvaro Morata this time.

Castilla had a new "Alvaro" now. The spirited boy had shown remarkable skill after joining Real Madrid’s youth system. If it weren’t for Juan de Ramos’s tactical preferences last season, Morata would have been a good choice too.

In this season, Morata had made it onto Real Madrid’s main team roster.

Morata was close with Nacho, Carvajal, Vazquez, and other players, and they were "Chen’s followers," which sent a bad signal within the Sports City.

As long as they had a good relationship with Chen, they could become a part of the main team and get listed on the main team roster!

"He’s waiting for an opportunity!"

Oscar Garro recounted Morata’s performances during his time at Castilla. Even though Nacho, Carvajal, and Vazquez were on the main team roster, when there were no scheduled matches, they would still play for Castilla to maintain their form.

Watching Oscar Garro’s leaving figure, Chen Zhong felt a bit sentimental. Those who had been through society were more understanding of "human relationships," and this was true even abroad.

...

On the other hand, Disalvo finally had the opportunity to meet Florentino as he wished.

He expressed his anger to Florentino about what happened on the training ground today. He complained, "You know I’m a professional,"

"The past injuries had nothing to do with my training methods."

"At that time, Torres and Diara came back from the national team injured, so the responsibility is definitely not mine."

"As for Pepe and Sneijder, they were injured in matches by opponents, so that’s not my responsibility either. I can’t control what happens on the field."

"And Higuain and Metzelder sprained their ankles during matches — that has nothing to do with my training methods or routine. This season, my training has helped the team; their performance is evident to all."

"Yes, we did have some injuries in the past, and the team’s fitness did face some issues last season. But these problems have been resolved this season. I have done my job well, Chen can’t just be so reckless."

Florentino: Hmm? (Perplexed face)

"That’s right." Seizing the moment when Disalvo paused to breathe, Florentino spoke with a radiant smile, "Thank you very much for your contributions to the team in the past."
