I Am Scouted by Real Madrid-Chapter 480 - 90: Reenactment! Iconic Moment!_2

Upon noticing Chen Zhong’s gaze, he quickly cuts inside—no, no, wait, it should be a swift inward move.

And even Cristiano Ronaldo’s inward movement draws Lam’s attention; he certainly won’t just let this Ballon d’Or winner walk in uncontested.

Meanwhile, within the small area of focused vision, Chen Zhong dribbles toward Ramos on the right, appearing as if the two intend to execute a one-two play.

Just as Bayern Munich’s players are captivated by Cristiano Ronaldo and Chen Zhong’s movements.

Standing on the sidelines, Van Gaal keenly senses something amiss. His eyes suddenly shift to Marcelo advancing forward, crossing paths with Robben for a brief moment, but Robben doesn’t seem intent on following.

This realization makes Van Gaal’s heart uneasy.

Simultaneously, a bold idea surfaces in his mind.

The current team formation seems to be leaning towards Real Madrid’s right side, while Cristiano Ronaldo’s inward move pulls Lam out of position.

Marcelo is now at the front, leaving Real Madrid’s left flank wide open.

But...

Can Chen Zhong see this?

Does he have this awareness?

Thoughts move faster than perception; Van Gaal instantly considers these possibilities but can’t believe Chen Zhong could see through the entire field in those brief seconds.

A "muscle-bound monster" like you might have brute force, but having such an insightful mind and broad vision...

That’s...

Too terrifying!

I refuse to believe it! No way!

Lam might at best follow Cristiano Ronaldo for a few strides, but would naturally return to his position in the center. Can you seize such a brief moment...

What!

Van Gaal’s pupils dramatically contract.

He can clearly see Chen Zhong surrounded in a corner by four to five Bayern Munich players, suddenly push the ball away, and then, facing an oncoming Ribery, catapult into a swift lunge and launch a "bang" of a long pass.

While Ribery couldn’t brake in time, crashed into Chen Zhong, bouncing and tumbling to the ground.

The ball traces an arc through the sky over Real Madrid, precisely landing on the open left side, while most players and spectators remain oblivious to what’s about to unfold.

After all, even the TV cameras had focused on Chen Zhong on the right and not on the left.

Some fans even wondered, "What is he doing? There’s nobody there!"

"No!"

"When did Marcelo?"

...

"Chen Zhong is controlling the ball on the right."

"Looks like he wants to do a one-two with Ramos."

"Bayern Munich players encircling."

"Chen Zhong pushes the ball, seems oversized."

"No!"

"It’s a long pass transfer!"

"Who is it for?"

"Marcelo?"

The ball sails through the air in a perfect arc, as the season progresses, Chen Zhong’s mastery of long passes keeps improving.

At this moment, many Bayern Munich fans silently hope Marcelo will mishandle the stop.

Yet Marcelo successfully traps the ball in a pose reminiscent of the Bundesliga LOGO.

As a Brazilian, Marcelo has always harbored a heart for attacking.

Without any hesitation, he quickly spearheads toward Bayern Munich’s penalty area.

In the center, C. Ronaldo, Negredo, Kaka all advance, presenting Real Madrid’s menacing trio closing in on goal.

"Beautiful ball control!"

"Marcelo!"

"Teammates running into position in the center."

"Marcelo doesn’t hesitate, a lob pass to the center."

"Delivered to!"

"Kaka!"

Bayern Munich players swiftly gauge the ball’s landing spot, press close to Kaka, exchanging glances, preemptively positioning to block, aiming to reclaim the ball once it descends using body leverage.

Kaka remains unfazed by this defense strategy, flicks the ball forward with his forehead just as it nears him.

This scene leaves Bayern Munich players shocked, abruptly abandoning their initial plan to flank Kaka, trying to corner him.

Kaka capitalizes on his speed, darting out swiftly before they can close in.

Though he stumbles a little from the defensive pressure, this stunning "dribble" and reminiscent performance against Manchester United stimulates the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium into a fervor!

"Kakakakakaka!!!!"

"An incredibly composed player-ball separation!"

"A perfect replica of his breathtaking past performance against Manchester United!"

"Beautiful!"

"So beautiful!"

"Real Madrid’s chance!"

Bayern Munich was easing off on their defensive retreat, as the 2-against-1 advantage is theirs!

Moreover, Kaka, after three months off injured, was in a slump.

A footballer absent from play for three months, bedridden for over two months, recovering and regaining form, is uncertain territory.

There were even rumors online suggesting Kaka was washed up.

Kaka’s heart races slightly; his subtle facial expressions reveal his thrill to recreate this iconic moment.

Now, he just needs to do the final step.

Send the ball into the net.

Kick off the match with a good start for the team.

In a familiar spot, in a familiar stadium, Kaka decisively unleashes a curling shot.

The ball escapes from Kaka’s foot.

Forming an arc, heading toward the net.

Real Madrid fans crane their necks in anticipation, even Bayern Munich fans quiet their voices.

However, Bayern Munich goalkeeper Hans Butt, the man who scored a penalty against Juventus to propel his team forward, won’t surrender so easily.

Bending legs snap straight, launching into a diving save, resembling a soaring eagle.

"A miraculous save!"

"Hans Butt!"

"This veteran keeps the goal intact!"

"But there’s a chance for a rebound!"

"Negredo!"

Negredo is closest to the ball; as one of Spain’s few power-type center forwards, he leaps high, trying to smash Bayern Munich’s net with a header.

However, Hans Butt steps up once more.

His hands tighten, unleashing a powerful punch.

His 191CM height and arm length are sufficient to punch the ball away.

"A fantastic punch clearance!"

"He defends the goal again!"

"Hans Butt!!!"

Real Madrid fans feel a bit disappointed, while Bayern Munich fans, buoyed, yet become anxious, Van Gaal’s gaze clings to the ball; Pellegrini focuses on the figure racing to the ball’s landing spot.

Bayern Munich is never perfect!!!!

They boast solid competition for the ball’s initial landing but perpetually lack strength in contesting the second drop point, having long abandoned the double defensive midfielder advancing attack philosophy!

Leaving them ill-equipped for second drop point battles!

But Real Madrid is different!

They possess that man!

The man who appears crucially when needed!

"The ball flies beyond the penalty area!"

"Let’s see if anyone grabs that second drop point."

"That’s!"

"Chen Zhong!!"

At Bayern Munich’s penalty area edge, as they race for the second drop point, they spot Chen Zhong charging fiercely toward the ball.

This position!

Chen Zhong!

With even the slightest thought, they already realize disaster is looming!

Chen Zhong is no longer the rookie of three years ago!

He’s the terrifying "monster" capable of scoring 40+ goals in a single league season!

He wouldn’t want to shoot, would he!

No!

He plans to shoot!

In the sunlight, amid the crowd’s shouts, Chen Zhong readies, poised for action.
