Chapter 588: Chapter 49: Explosive

This is definitely the most explosive National Derby in recent years.

The team buses were hit, the players and coaches exchanged verbal jabs, and the Barcelona fans at the venue were provocative.

All of this pushed the atmosphere at the scene to the peak.

In less than 30 seconds after the kick-off, Barcelona used a strong defense to tell Real Madrid that this National Derby was not child’s play, but a real fight with live ammunition.

Following that, Messi’s solo goal, along with the 8:0 victory in the previous match, further demonstrated to the world that this Barcelona is at its peak.

Guardiola bent over and shouted the players’ names loudly on the sidelines, while Mourinho couldn’t stay idle either.

Most of the work that coaches need to do has already been completed before the match.

Mourinho guessed Barcelona’s attacking route and, in a short period, successfully predicted one, neutralizing Barcelona’s attack.

Guardiola also hit the jackpot; this season’s Messi is filled with energy and desire, and he didn’t let Guardiola down, completing a brilliant solo run from his own half.

However, the match is not yet three minutes in.

The outcome is still unpredictable.

"Real Madrid kicks off."

"Chen Zhong is advancing with the ball in midfield."

"Before the match even began."

"The Double R has already started making predictions."

"Rivaldo believes the team will narrowly defeat Real Madrid by one goal."

"Obviously, he has great confidence in Mourinho’s defense."

"But Messi broke Real Madrid’s goal shortly after the start of the match."

"Ronaldo, on the other hand, thinks both teams have equal chances."

"Although Barcelona has Messi, Real Madrid also has an all-powerful warrior like Chen Zhong."

For the Guardiola-led Barcelona, Rivaldo gave high praise, stating: "Barcelona is undoubtedly the best club in the world today."

"Other teams wanting to beat them can only hope that Barcelona is off their game, and even so, they would have to pay a significant price."

Ronaldo, however, immediately retorted, saying: "But we should note that in Derbies with Chen, Real Madrid has yet to lose to Barcelona."

"Both teams are very strong."

"But, with Chen in Real Madrid, they always manage to create miracles."

The two were invited by the same TV station to commentate. In the opening stage of the match, Ronaldo was very pleased with Real Madrid’s performance, especially after Pepe intercepted Iniesta’s pass and said, "I must say, this interception was perfect."

"We can clearly feel that Real Madrid has seen through Barcelona’s attacking pattern."

"Mourinho is very familiar with his opponent, and there is a reason for Pepe being in this position. Chen’s command is also very appropriate."

However, when Messi completed the solo goal and Barcelona fans in the stands celebrated wildly, both Rivaldo and Ronaldo were greatly shocked. Rivaldo exclaimed: "Barcelona is simply too strong; it seems Real Madrid will concede five or six at Camp Nou."

"I believe, this is definitely not Messi’s last performance; this is just the beginning."

"Did you see it? He stole the ball from under Chen’s feet, I think even as a defender, he would succeed; his footwork is too fast, the speed of his intervention was simply astonishing."

Chen Zhong firmly controlled the ball under his feet, and within a whole 58 seconds, Real Madrid passed the ball 21 times in total, with almost every player participating except for goalkeeper Casillas.

Seeing this, Guardiola’s eyes lit up.

"This! This!"

This kind of football is exactly what Guardiola wants, and it is also an idea he had for leading in matches; unexpectedly, Real Madrid with Chen Zhong accomplished it too.

During these 58 seconds, not a single Barcelona player got the chance to touch the ball.

The closest was Busquets.

This defensive midfielder tried to shield the position and intercept the ball as Chen Zhong received a pass from a teammate, but was directly shoved to the ground by Chen Zhong.

This also gave Chen Zhong the opportunity to face Barcelona’s defense directly.

"Real Madrid continues passing the ball."

"Very smooth."

"Barcelona’s morale is being worn down by Real Madrid’s ball control."

"Busquets."

"Tries to intercept the ball from Chen Zhong."

Barcelona’s players gradually became a bit frustrated, as their formation was being manipulated by Real Madrid’s passing, and after observing for a while, Busquets found a chance.

He quickly advanced, trying to intercept the ball aimed at Chen Zhong.

But Chen Zhong had already positioned himself.

Their bodies collided.

Busquets initially tried to stand his ground, but quickly lost balance.

His fall meant that Chen Zhong could face Barcelona’s defensive line directly. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Without hesitation, Chen Zhong pushed the ball forward, charging towards Barcelona’s penalty area.

Puyol charged in from the front, opting directly for a sliding tackle.

Trying to disrupt Chen Zhong’s attack this way.

Yet, with a light flick after, Chen Zhong jumped to avoid Puyol’s slide tackle.
