I Am Scouted by Real Madrid-Chapter 488 - 95: The Stadium Exploded!

Everything has changed.

Now Bayern Munich has become the chaser!

When the commentators uttered the famous saying: "There’s not much time left for XXX." everyone realized it.

Back home, countless fans are actively discussing Chen Zhong’s performance.

On defense, in organization, in attack, he’s simply omnipotent, some even compare him to players like Vieira and Gullit, while some Real Madrid fans think Chen Zhong is the club’s new Zidane.

Because Chen Zhong has used the Marseille Turn multiple times on the field!

And the Marseille Turn is almost a signature move of Zidane.

"Bayern Munich has substituted two attacking players."

"It seems they are going back to traditional long passes and aerial duels."

"But that is understandable."

"After all, they face Real Madrid with Chen Zhong."

"Making Bayern Munich’s midfield very troublesome."

With the match time slowly decreasing, the Real Madrid fans in the stands began jumping up and down, singing and dancing.

They loudly chanted, the most frequent being "Chen, take us to Bernabeu!" "Chen, take us to Bernabeu!"

This Champions League final is held at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, and their chants are the biggest acknowledgment of Chen Zhong.

"Not much time left in the match!"

"Chen Zhong completes another perfect tackle."

"In this match, his running, defense, and attack have made a transformation for Real Madrid."

"The camera locks on Chen Zhong, we can see him bending over, gasping for breath."

"It seems that this match has taken a great toll on his stamina!"

"Pellegrini uses the last substitution slot."

"He chooses to substitute Pirlo in for Chen Zhong!"

"It looks like in the remaining time, Real Madrid is committed to playing defense and counterattack."

"Pirlo’s direct passes from the back are quite threatening."

"Of course, substituting at this time also praises Chen Zhong."

"Let him enjoy the applause and cheers from the entire crowd."

Chen Zhong took a deep breath and straightened his spine.

He was indeed very tired, but as Real Madrid’s captain, number 10, and star player, he wouldn’t allow himself to show "weakness" at such a critical moment.

Of course, he wouldn’t just stride off the field either.

Bayern Munich fans boo Chen Zhong, but their "faint" sound couldn’t make much of a ripple in Real Madrid, people heard the cheers from Real Madrid fans calling his name.

This sound echoed throughout the stadium, unable to die down for a long time.

Bayern Munich players tried to urge Chen Zhong to hurry, some even ran to the referee hoping he would speed things up, but the referee remained unmoved, merely saying: "I’ll add the time wasted."

As Chen Zhong reached the sidelines, he high-fived and hugged Pirlo, which took some more time.

"Keep it up!"

"I will!"

After a brief exchange, Pellegrini personally ran over to hand Chen Zhong a towel and water.

"Nice job, Chen!"

"Chen! Chen! Chen!"

"Quick! Someone massage our hero’s legs!"

Real Madrid’s bench was chaotic, with players gathering around, using exaggerated gestures and tones to help Chen Zhong relax.

And on the sidelines, Pellegrini showed a confident expression.

Not far away, Van Gaal was pacing back and forth urgently, wishing he could fly onto the field himself.

"There’s not much time left for Bayern Munich."

"The last three minutes!"

"We can see Real Madrid fans in the stands already starting to celebrate."

"Pellegrini even waves his arms from the sidelines, signaling for fans to get more excited."

"Once the team secured the qualification spot."

"Pellegrini decisively adopted a defensive counterattack strategy."

"To hold the current score until the end!"

Bayern Munich has been pushed to the brink.

The referee on the sidelines is checking his wristwatch to confirm the time.

Tick-tock, tick-tock, only a minute and a half left.

"It’s Bayern Munich’s last attack."

"Robben has the ball on the flank!"

"With Chen Zhong off, he’s increasingly active on the flank."

"But Real Madrid clearly knows him well."

"Cut inside?"

"No, he chose to go down the wing."

"A cross!"

Real Madrid fans in the stands are becoming increasingly excited!

They are about to complete a great comeback!

And all Real Madrid’s substitute players have stood up, waiting at the sidelines, ready to rush onto the field and celebrate with their teammates once the final whistle blows.

Pellegrini repeatedly pumps his fist to signal the fans to get even more boisterous.

And the fans oblige, exclaiming each time Pellegrini punches the air.

...

Against this backdrop, only a minute and a half remain!

Robben took the ball on the wing and immediately chose to go deep.

Then he made a cross.

The ball bypassed the defensive players and headed towards the penalty area.

The Real Madrid players quickly fell back, looking very tight.

But Chen Zhong, standing on the sidelines, felt a jolt in his heart!

He saw a "tall" figure inserting forward.

That is!

Miroslav Klose!

K-God!

Chen Zhong’s heart was pounding wildly. He ran to the sidelines and shouted loudly: "Watch out! Watch out for Miroslav!"

Klose!

That’s right!

Klose!

The German slipped through between two Real Madrid defenders.

Facing the ball, he poked it before the defenders could react.

At this moment, his offensive awareness and positioning reached perfection. He might not be a physical monster, but whenever the team needed him, he always stepped up.

The celebratory noise at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium came to an abrupt halt.

Everyone’s gaze turned towards the goal.

"Klose!"

"Poked shot!"

"Casillas!"

"Ahhhhhhh!!!!"

Casillas made a diving save, but this time "Saint" Casillas didn’t grasp the throat of fate, and the ball slipped past his fingertips and into the net!

4:1

Aggregate score 5:6

Bayern Munich killed the game at the final critical moment!!!!

After a brief silence, the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium exploded. After a short moment of regret, Real Madrid fans expressed their anger, while Bayern Munich fans went into a frenzy of joy!

"Can you imagine it?"

"When the match was about to end!"

"Klose stepped up!"

"He poked the ball into the back of the net right in front of the goal!"

"For most of the match, he was quite unremarkable!"

"But that goal made Bayern Munich fans on the stands worship him, shouting K-God!"

"4:1"

"Aggregate score 5:6"

"If it ends with this score!"

"Then it will be Bayern Munich going into the finals."

"Bayern Munich will compete with Inter Milan for the final champion’s seat!"

Klose, after scoring the goal, excitedly ran towards the corner flag.

He even performed his signature celebration, a backflip.

Now it’s time for Bayern Munich players to waste time.

Van Gaal, on the sidelines, was running back and forth during Klose’s celebration, spinning, jumping, and venting his inner emotions non-stop.

Pellegrini, at this moment, stood on the sidelines with a look of bewilderment.

What’s going on?

After cheering for so long, are we really going to be reversed now?

During his time of bewilderment, the match entered its final moments, and Bayern Munich, thanks to Klose’s goal, killed the game and successfully secured their ticket to the finals.

In a post-match interview, Klose added a psychological blow: "Chen’s substitution gave us a huge advantage."

"If he had still been on the field."

"I’m not sure if this opportunity would have occurred."

In this match, Chen Zhong’s performance was undoubtedly the best.

Especially on the defensive end.

He relentlessly ran, making Real Madrid’s defense feel like they had an extra player.

Of course, there was nothing wrong with Pellegrini’s substitution; after all, when he took Chen Zhong off, no one opposed it, as Chen Zhong was indeed already very tired then.

When interviewed, Pellegrini, aware of Klose’s comments, didn’t discuss the issue further, but instead said, "We were just a bit unlucky."

Yes, Pellegrini insisted he was just a bit unlucky, and Klose was lucky to poke in that goal, a sentiment that some agreed with but others scoffed at.

During the match, the differences in the tactics of the two coaches were stark.

Van Gaal, when trailing, waved his fists to encourage the players to fight on.

But Pellegrini?

Spent the last little bit of time seemingly wasting away on the sidelines.

Perhaps a little adjustment during that time wouldn’t have changed anything, but the mindset and level of the coaches were laid bare.

What if?

What if that little bit of time led to Real Madrid scoring another goal?

In the eyes of some fans, at that moment, Pellegrini, as the head coach, had already given up on victory.

Faced with the cameras, after successfully eliminating Real Madrid, Van Gaal didn’t get overly cocky but instead praised Chen Zhong’s performance and acknowledged the strength of the opponent.

After all, acknowledging the opponent at this time is acknowledging oneself.
