The fans of both teams in the stands let out a gasp of surprise, everyone’s eyes fixed on the ball that had been lifted up.

Pique quickly moved forward, trying to clear the ball, but Negredo, coming from the side, got to the ball first.

"Puyol’s slide tackle."

"Chen Zhong lifted the ball to dodge the slide tackle."

"Pique attempts to clear it."

"But Negredo is closer to the ball."

Negredo seemed to have no intention of controlling the ball; as soon as it got close, he poked it forward, "delivering" it to Chen Zhong’s feet.

Pique noticed the danger and wanted to abandon Negredo to cover the open space, but Negredo firmly maintained his position.

"No stop."

"Directly gave the ball to Chen Zhong."

"Chen Zhong quickly moves forward!"

Chen Zhong did not hesitate, taking large strides forward to catch up with the ball.

Alves rushed over from the side, trying to block Chen Zhong’s path, but Chen Zhong used the outside of his foot to flick the ball, creating an arc as it went towards the wide-open left side.

And there, Cristiano Ronaldo was speeding forward.

"Perfect coordination!"

"Found the opening on the left side directly."

"C. Ronaldo speeds forward and gets the ball!"

Cristiano Ronaldo watched the ball coming in, guiding it inside with a sharp look, his eyes fixed on the goal.

Chen Zhong pointed ahead while moving forward, signaling Cristiano Ronaldo to pass.

But the Portuguese had no intention of passing; upon entering the penalty area, he slowed down slightly, adjusted briefly, and then quickly fired a powerful shot.

Attempting to break through Barcelona’s goal.

"C. Ronaldo directly kicks the shot."

"This shot is powerful."

"But the angle is too straight."

"Didn’t challenge the goalkeeper."

"Perhaps passing the ball to Chen Zhong, moving forward in the center, would have been better."

"Although Barcelona has two players near Chen Zhong, we can trust Chen Zhong’s ability to seize opportunities."

Guardiola widened his eyes, wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead, and then glanced at Mourinho with a playful expression.

Seemed to say, wo~ what’s going on, if it was passed to Chen, wouldn’t this ball probably go in?

Mourinho gritted his teeth, showing a regretful expression, looked at his compatriot on the field, paced back and forth twice, yet did not blame Cristiano Ronaldo.

Such an opportunity.

As an attacker, if he doesn’t pass, it seems understandable.

Moreover, there are still two Barcelona players marking Chen Zhong.

Of course, it’s not a big problem, Mourinho thinks, even so, Chen Zhong would still be able to get to the spot.

It’s just a real shame for such a great chance.

If, after losing the ball, quickly getting it back and scoring, especially in a Barcelona style, that would feel incredibly satisfying.

If Barcelona had been attacking just now, then the player in Cristiano Ronaldo’s position might have passed to the center, maybe even two or three touches to drive straight towards the goal.

After completing the shot, Cristiano Ronaldo seemed to notice Chen Zhong running to the center, he gestured a thumbs-up toward Chen Zhong, seemingly saying, good pass, then shrugged as if apologizing for not seeing him.

Chen Zhong looked at Cristiano Ronaldo expressionlessly, also clapped, but didn’t say anything.

Still, according to tactics, a pass is acceptable.

But from the player’s perspective, it’s hard to criticize shooting from that position.

Messi touched his nose, laughing at Chen Zhong and Cristiano Ronaldo’s interaction, eyes sparkling, unsure what he was thinking.

The game continues, Valdes kicks out the ball, they start controlling it from the backline, continuously passing ten or so times to drag Real Madrid players around, just like Real Madrid did to them earlier.

Chen Zhong seized the opportunity, looking at Xavi, and charged forward with a sliding tackle.

Yet, this time, the slide tackle was a miss.

Xavi had no intention of passing forward.

When the ball reached his feet, he instantly controlled it and turned, then passed it back to Puyol.

The scene of Chen Zhong’s failed slide tackle drew loud laughter from the Barcelona fans in the stands, along with all kinds of mocking calls.

On the sideline, seeing this, Guardiola’s eyes brightened.

Quickly pointed the ball forward.

Noticing Guardiola’s gesture, the Barcelona players quickly shifted the ball to the right wing.

Messi was active on the right at this moment.

"Barcelona’s continuous ball control."

"Real Madrid tries to intercept the ball."

"But in vain."

"C. Ronaldo’s pressing."

"Passed to Xavi."

"Chen Zhong!"

"Xavi dodged the sliding tackle."

"He really is..."

"Steady as ever."

If you have to learn from a player to play midfield, Xavi is the best choice.

While learning from Xavi might not make you a top-level player, it will surely make you a decent player; his style is best suited for ordinary people.

His main playstyle is "steady" and safe, and now Xavi’s "steadiness" and safety have helped him avoid danger.

After Chen Zhong’s missed tackle, Barcelona quickly moved into action.

Messi took the ball without hesitation and began his breakthrough from the right wing.

Mourinho’s eyebrows twitched wildly as he loudly yelled from the sideline, "Tackle him! Take him down!"

There’s a crude way to deal with Messi, which is to take him down outside the penalty area.

Never let him enter the penalty area.

And looking at Barcelona’s current tactics, the player they fear most during attacks is Chen Zhong, choosing to let Messi break through only when Chen Zhong couldn’t interfere.

This, from a certain angle, also serves as protection for Messi.

Fearing Messi will be tackled by Chen Zhong.

Messi started off quickly on the right, directly shaking off the oncoming Khedira.

Khedira’s defensive moves are very standard, even his judgment during defense is not a problem.

The only problem is Messi’s foot speed is too fast.

Using mobile network speed as a comparison, Messi is 5G, Khedira is 2G; when you see the first second of the video, the download is already complete.

Messi can completely execute a move after Khedira makes a motion while the ball is still mid-air for a second fake.

Khedira’s defensive awareness is still excellent; he spots Messi’s motions, but the issue is he can’t keep up.

Trying hard to keep up could lead to a snapped knee or legs tangled, resulting in a fall.

From afar, Chen Zhong was rushing over at full speed, but Messi’s short legs were moving fast; his specialty is speed dribbling while on the move.

Like an untamed wild horse.

The Barcelona fans in the stands already stood up together; they seemed to sense a massacre.

Could they possibly score two consecutive goals against Real Madrid in five minutes?

"Pepe!!!" Chen Zhong yelled Pepe’s name loudly, this guy who discussed tackling techniques with him since joining the team was now glaring fiercely at Messi.

He was already a known bad boy in football.

Lately, he was having contract renewal issues with Real Madrid.

Watching Messi quickly approaching, Pepe completely ignored the ball, aimed directly at Messi.

But right at the moment he lunged towards Messi, Messi accelerated!

Man-balling separated.

At this moment, everyone was stunned.

But Messi wasn’t unaffected; the ball had moved slightly away.

He ran a bit off course to regain control of the ball.

And when he was ready to continue, the man arrived!

Chen Zhong!
