CHAPTER 148: CHAPTER 49: YOU... YOU’RE BULLYING ME! (SUPER LONG CHAPTER)

Yaya Toure has a pretty good sense of the ball’s landing point; the ball is already dropping. He can clearly determine that it will land where Chen Zhong is.

Puyol came from the side, Toure was still closely following behind, and goalkeeper Valverde was quickly adjusting his position. Chen Zhong leapt high and headed the ball to the side.

Ramos burst out from the side and executed a flying kick, connecting with the ball.

The ball leaped and flew towards the far post.

Everyone’s hearts were in their throats, but fortune still favored Barcelona as the ball grazed the post and flew out.

"Ahhhhhhh!"

"Ramos missed an excellent opportunity."

"In a flash, Chen Zhong chose the safest line."

"But Ramos still missed this golden chance."

"Of course, the difficulty of this shot was extremely high."

"It’s unfair to blame him entirely."

Chen Zhong helped Ramos up from the ground. Ramos was full of frustration in this game; Ronaldinho was causing havoc down his flank, and he finally had a chance to score, but he missed it!

"Chen, good play."

"Keep it up!" Chen Zhong replied to Ramos, then quickly returned to his position. Barcelona also quickly launched another attack. After a series of passes, Iniesta, surprisingly, delivered a straight pass on the left.

The force of this pass was strong, the angle sharp, and the speed was incredibly fast.

He was trying to break through Real Madrid’s defense with this one pass.

The fans of both teams stood up in the stands, nervously watching the ball’s trajectory, while also keeping an eye on Casillas and Eto’o.

Casillas decisively chose to rush out, and before Eto’o could touch the ball, he tipped it away.

Iniesta quickly moved up to get the ball, then under Marcelo’s close marking, passed it again towards the center.

Deco, who had been unobtrusive all match, was thrilled, thinking he finally had a chance to shine.

But it was Chen Zhong who emerged in the middle, intercepting the ball and incidentally knocking over Deco, who couldn’t brake in time, then passing the ball out before Yaya Toure could get it. Puyol rushed in from the side, sliding in and intercepting the ball before Robinho could reach it. The ball rolled to Max’s feet.

Max sent a long pass to Ronaldinho.

Ronaldinho finally "woke up," using Ramos’s eagerness to rush forward to his advantage, cleverly sidestepping him, and then darted into the left side of the penalty area like a sprite.

Cannavaro attempted to intercept with a crab step, but Ronaldinho made a cross pass, knocking the ball into the center.

Eto’o turned into a black shadow, rushing towards the ball.

At this critical moment, number 22, with black hair and yellow skin, Chen Zhong, came charging from the side, sliding and sending the ball flying away while making Eto’o stumble awkwardly.

The ball rolled to Iniesta’s feet, and facing Casillas, Iniesta didn’t shoot but instead made a lateral pass.

Eto’o realized he couldn’t get the ball, so he deliberately blocked Chen Zhong, letting the ball through.

Ronaldinho, getting to the ball before Ramos, made a pushing shot towards the goal.

Casillas used both his hands and feet to block Ronaldinho’s shot path, saving the ball.

Ronaldinho attempted to follow up, but Ramos was already closing in, and Ronaldinho, clearly frustrated, made a stamping motion.

Ramos fell to the ground in pain, and the referee blew the whistle again.

The referee issued a warning to Ronaldinho, and Ramos was carried off the field on a stretcher for treatment, leaving Real Madrid with one player down again.

Faced with this opportunity, Barcelona, of course, would not let it slip.

They quickly intercepted the ball and launched another wave of attack, with Ronaldinho breaking through from the side. Cannavaro slid in, and Ronaldinho fell in the box.

The entire stadium erupted in boos. Barcelona’s fans were excited, and even Ronaldinho was shouting to the referee loudly: "Penalty, penalty!"

However, the referee paid no attention, and while Barcelona’s players were still complaining, Chen Zhong, who hadn’t heard the whistle, had long since controlled the ball.

Taking advantage of a distracted moment from Yaya Toure, he strode forward in midfield with the ball. In this rare moment without physical confrontation, Chen Zhong felt extremely comfortable.

The Camp Nou, where Barcelona’s fans created piercing noise trying to disrupt Chen Zhong, while Deco came rushing towards him at the first opportunity.

Seeing Deco’s height, Chen Zhong flicked the ball over Deco’s head, passing it to the retreating Van Nistelrooy. Van Nistelrooy held off Abidal and headed the ball to Chen Zhong, who didn’t let the ball drop, passing it out again in mid-air.

After 2-3 consecutive times, until Yaya Toure approached, Chen Zhong unexpectedly headed the ball to Baptista moving towards the center.

Milito sensed danger, but the under-1.8-meter Argentine center-back was at a disadvantage in the physical confrontation with Baptista. Holding off Milito, Baptista cushioned the ball again, it came to Chen Zhong’s feet.
