"Suker receives the ball in the left rib area, drops his shoulder, turns, breaks free, Suker~~~shoots!!!"

The ball flew like a dribble past the CSKA Moscow Goalkeeper's fingertips and into the net.

"Suker!!!!!!!"

"Goooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!

In the 14th minute, Suker scored his second goal! Just three minutes after his first goal, Suker scored again, Real Madrid 2:0 CSKA Moscow! Suker's form is still red-hot, and he continues his crazy performance!"

The commentator's excited voice came from the TV.

Zorancic and Sukic sat at home, watching the game together.

Zorancic turned his head to look, the little guy was staring at the camera without blinking, his feet dangling in the air, occasionally twitching as if he was kicking a ball.

Zorancic's eyebrows raised slightly.

"Sukic, have you ever played football?"

"I have!" Sukic turned his head, then pouted; "But I don't want to play with them!"

"Why?" Zorancic asked.

"They don't pass the ball!" Sukic said with a displeased look on his face; "As soon as I pass the ball, I never get it back. I hate that feeling, so I don't play with them!"

"How's your skill?" Zorancic sat up slightly.

Suker's talent is so good, as Suker's child, how bad could Sukic's talent be!

And according to the theory of bloodlines, combining Suker's talent with Brazil's samba football skills, does Sukic also have unique talent in football?

"Do you want to go to youth training?"

Zorancic immediately became interested.

Real Madrid's youth academy has kindergarten classes, which are basic training for children aged 3-5.

Aside from learning languages, Sukic spends most of his time playing.

Instead of playing at home, it would be better to go to youth training and play football with peers.

If Sukic's talent is outstanding, then he would have discovered Sukic.

After all, Suker's talent is evident, and he doesn't think Sukic will be far off.

"I don't want to!"

Sukic shook his head directly.

Zorancic was stunned; "Why?"

Sukic; "Because they won't pass the ball to me either!"

Zorancic: "Youth training is different from casual games, they will pass the ball to you!"

"Really?" Sukic turned his head, thought for a moment, and said; "But older kids will bully people, right?"

"Bully you?" Zorancic didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He could guarantee that as soon as Sukic entered Real Madrid's youth academy, he would be a proper 'Prince'.

He wouldn't say that the youth academy was completely clean, there would still be some bad things inside.

But Suker stands there, and those troublesome things would avoid Sukic, after all, who would want to provoke Suker!

"How about it, play football with your peers, and you should make friends here too!" Zorancic said.

Sukic turned to look at the TV; "If Dad agrees, I'll go!"

Just then, on the TV, Suker's long-range worldie shot pierced CSKA Moscow's goal, completing a hat-trick.

Commentator González's cheers filled the room.

Sukic also couldn't help but raise his arms slightly, cheering excitedly.

In the 55th minute of the second half, Suker was substituted.

At this point, the score on the field was Real Madrid 4:0 CSKA Moscow.

In the 49th minute, Real Madrid's Bale made a surging breakthrough on the wing, overpowering the opposing fullback, and scored a near-post shot, further extending Real Madrid's lead.

And Suker no longer needed to contribute energy on the field.

Mourinho also immediately substituted Suker.

"Come on!"

Suker high-fived Carvalho and then walked off the field, plopping down on the bench.

Suker's face also showed a hint of satisfaction.

Having completed a hat-trick, the previous irritable mood was also vented, and now he felt refreshed.

Although life had changed a bit, with a little devil named 'Sukic' entering it, the feeling wasn't bad either.

Finally, the full match ended, with Real Madrid defeating CSKA Moscow 4:0.

They also successfully advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals with an aggregate score of 6:0.

Having secured the victory, the Real Madrid players were also very happy.

What's more, they double-killed their opponents in both matches and didn't concede a single goal, which also excited them.

They felt that their form was still excellent, and they had plenty of momentum in the Champions League.

However, Mourinho still held a summary meeting after the match.

In this match, Real Madrid's defensive performance was very good, almost flawless.

But Mourinho's personality is very picky, as a perfectionist, he still looked for deficiencies in various details.

Those potentially overlooked problems were accurately pinpointed by Mourinho, and he instructed corrections.

The entire summary meeting ended, and it was around 11 PM when they all left.

When Suker returned, Zorancic was sitting on the sofa, and Sukic must have gone to bed early.

As soon as Suker sat down, Zorancic leaned over.

"You're not planning to let Sukic play football?"

Zorancic suddenly said.

Suker turned his head: "He wants to play football?"

Zorancic shrugged: "Look, he's your child, he'll definitely inherit your talent, I feel it's necessary to let him get in touch with football."

Suker pointed at himself; "Me? Talent?"

"What's wrong?" Zorancic blinked: "Are you questioning your talent?"

Suker grinned.

What talent do I have!

I'm just a cheat!

However...

"If he wants to play, let him play. It's just a try anyway, it doesn't matter if he doesn't make it!"

To be honest, Suker doesn't have high hopes for any second-generation football player!

He's never heard of a case where the father is a superstar and the son can also be a superstar.

In this era of booming commercial football, the lives of superstar players are too comfortable. Like Suker, his annual income is so much that he can't even count it, and the taxes he pays alone are astronomical.

Growing up in such conditions will inevitably lack the passion of their generation!

Whether it's Suker, Cristiano Ronaldo, or Messi, their childhoods were intertwined with hardship.

Suker doesn't advocate hardship, but he must admit that hardship shaped who he is today.

For example, passion, fighting spirit, and a difficult personality—these are all things that remained after being oppressed by hardship.

Suker grew up in the midst of war.

For him, besides football, there was almost no other way out.

He had never been to school, couldn't even get a full meal, and on his path to success, the only clear path was football.

But most children who came out of orphanages, besides Suker, the rest have no news at the moment, so one can imagine what kind of lives they are living.

But precisely because of this, he was like a stubborn blade of grass growing out of a rock crevice.

Not necessarily beautiful, but certainly tough!

Suker has succeeded!

He has a sufficiently comfortable material life, and on this basis, he will certainly not let his children experience these things.

If you have money and don't spend it, you're a fool!

For Suker, as long as Sukic doesn't do anything heinous, it doesn't matter if he does nothing his whole life and lives off his parents, after all, he is strong enough.

Therefore, he doesn't think Sukic can make it in this environment.

"Let him go, I remember Real Madrid has a football school, let him go there." Suker waved his hand; "It doesn't matter if he plays well or not, as long as he's happy!"

Zorancic grinned; "You mean you have no expectations for your own child?"

"Expectations?" Suker couldn't help but laugh; "What can I expect from him? He can't help me anyway!"

Suker walked up the stairs, heading to the second floor.

At this moment, he saw a crack in Sukic's room door, and through the crack, he saw a pair of dark eyes.

Upon making eye contact, the other party seemed startled, and the door was quickly closed.

Suker: "..."

Suker didn't think too much and walked directly to his room, preparing to take a shower.

Inside Sukic's room, the little guy leaned against the door, hugging his knees, his cheeks slightly puffed out, muttering softly:

"Lame!"

"I want to go to football school!"

Early in the morning, Sukic, holding a standard football larger than his head, shouted with wide eyes.

Suker was busy in the kitchen, his eyebrows slightly raised.

Zorancic also looked over in surprise.

"I want to go to football school! I love football!" Sukic said loudly.

Suker and Zorancic exchanged glances, the former saying: "If you're making this decision because you overheard our conversation yesterday, then there's no need. You don't have to play football just because I'm a professional player!"

"No! I want to go to football school!"

Suker frowned, "You can live a normal life, discover your interests as you grow, and not necessarily play football!"

"I like football!"

Suker, "Are you sure?"

"Yes! I'm sure!" Sukic said, his eyes wide.

Suker pursed his lips.

Whose stubbornness is this?

Suker waved his hand and said to Zorancic, "You arrange it!"

With that, he carried breakfast out of the kitchen.

"It's time for breakfast!"

Sukic was practically drooling.

Gisele Bündchen was very good to him, meticulous in every detail, but her cooking was truly not good.

But Suker fed him in various ways, and in just a few days, he had gained two pounds.

After breakfast, Suker still went to the training base.

Zorancic was preparing to arrange for Sukic to enter a football school.

But before that, Zorancic asked, "Do you really like football?"

"I don't know!" Sukic shook his head.

Zorancic said in surprise, "Then this morning..."

"If I didn't say that, Dad wouldn't let me play!" Sukic said seriously.

Zorancic grinned, "Then why do you suddenly want to play?"

Sukic clenched his fist, "Of course, to surpass Dad!"

Zorancic immediately bared his teeth and grinned.

Are you dreaming!

Despite being Suker's child, he would have a certain talent, but Suker's current achievements can no longer be explained by just talent.

Even if Suker were to retire right now, he would still be considered 'great'.

Zorancic believed that Sukic had a great misunderstanding of his father's 'greatness'.

"Then you should at least have a goal, right?"

"Yes! I have a goal!"

Zorancic asked, "What goal?"

Sukic, "At this stage, I can't compare with Dad, but my goal is to grow to 180 centimeters by the age of 16!"

With that, the little devil ran to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of milk, and drank it all with his head tilted back.

Zorancic stared blankly at this scene.

It really is a blood connection!

These father and son, their petty minds are exactly the same, and the paths they choose are always so tricky.

Suker had already arrived at the training base.

Upon entering the locker room, the first person he saw was the returning Casillas.

"Congratulations! You've recovered from your injury and returned!"

Suker smiled and extended his hand.

Casillas also smiled and high-fived him.

A wrist sprain had kept him out for three weeks, but he had basically recovered and completed his rehabilitation training, and would soon be able to join the team training.

Having been absent for three weeks, Casillas was also eager to get back on the field.

But before that.

"Congratulations, you've become a father!" Casillas congratulated him sincerely.

Suker grinned, "Don't mention it, taking care of a child gives me a headache."

Marcelo, who was nearby, sighed, "Little boys are devils!"

Kaka also nodded, "Too naughty!"

Casillas did not have children yet.

But Marcelo and Kaka's children were both boys, and now they were about the same age as Sukic.

The Champions League Round of 16 concluded, and the eight quarter-finalists were determined:

Marseille VS Bayern Munich!

APOEL VS Real Madrid!

Benfica VS Chelsea!

AC Milan VS Barcelona!

Real Madrid's opponent in the Champions League Quarter-finals was APOEL from the Cyprus League.

This team was neither hot nor cold in Europe.

They first competed in the Champions League in the 08/09 season, and also entered the Champions League group stage the following year.

But they had never been able to break through the group stage.

After a year of settling down last season, APOEL finally broke out this season, reaching the Champions League knockout stage as Group G winners along with Zenit.

At the same time, in the Round of 16, they faced Lyon.

After a 1:1 aggregate draw over two legs, they eventually defeated Ligue 1 giants Lyon 4:3 in a penalty shootout to advance further.

It can be said that APOEL is now the team with the best European record among Cypriot League teams.

What's more, they were about to face Real Madrid in this round.

For APOEL, they had not thought about winning the Champions League; they would go as far as they could.

If they encountered a strong opponent, it would be more beneficial for their dominance in the Cyprus League, and for some individual players within the team, they also hoped to use this stage to enter the Big Five Leagues.

Therefore, they were not afraid to face Real Madrid; instead, they were eager to try.

This was especially true for APOEL's star striker Manduca.

Manduca is a Brazilian player, 31 years old this year.

Compared to other talented Brazilian players, he was more of an ordinary one.

He spent most of his professional career playing in the Portuguese second division, but after coming to APOEL, he experienced a major breakout at the age of 31.

There are many forwards who get better with age, and Manduca is clearly this type.

Of course, he still had some gap compared to the top level.

But he still wanted to use this season to climb further in the twilight of his career.

He did not expect to join a giant club, but at least he wanted to experience the atmosphere of the Big Five Leagues and feel what it was like to play on those pitches.

For this reason, for him, facing Real Madrid was a very good opportunity.

As long as he performed well, he would gain the favor of Big Five Leagues teams.

He even did not expect to win.

But he must perform.

The first leg of the Champions League Quarter-finals will be held on March 28th. After entering the Quarter-finals, the entire schedule will be further accelerated.

From April to the end of May, the entire Champions League schedule will be completed within two months.

And the various Leagues are also continuously accelerating, entering the cruel battle for points.

Unlike the current chaotic situation in the Premier League, the La Liga standings are very clear.

There are only two teams in the championship zone.

Real Madrid and Barcelona!

With excellent performances, Real Madrid currently holds the top spot with a 5-point lead.

Barcelona is in second place.

On March 21st, La Liga Round 29 ended. Suker, with 45 goals, was still at the top of the scoring list.

But in second place, Messi, with 44 goals, was close behind by a narrow margin.

There are currently nine rounds left in the League, but Suker and Messi have already broken the 40-goal mark and are charging towards 50 goals.

Such a crazy goal-scoring performance shocked all of Europe.

Compared to other Leagues, La Liga is indeed somewhat lacking in defense, but it's not that bad!

But these two guys, relying on two super clubs, are racking up goals like crazy!

The goal competition between Suker and Messi has shifted from easy games to high-level ones.

In previous scoring title competitions, it was about who scored more goals in easy games, who was better at beating weak teams and scoring more goals.

But Suker and Messi both have absolute dominance in this regard, so no winner could be determined.

Therefore, the focus of both of them also began to shift to high-level games.

Atletico Madrid, Valencia, Sevilla, and so on...

These teams became the backdrop for Suker and Messi to create distance in their competition.

Since they couldn't create a gap in easy games, they would create a gap in high-level games.

However, the situation remained deadlocked.

"Headache!"

Suker rubbed his temples, his face full of fatigue.

In his hand, he held his phone, which displayed the Champions League top scorers list.

First place: Mandžukić 13 goals (Bayern Munich).

Second place: Suker 12 goals (Real Madrid), Messi 12 goals (Barcelona).

Third place: Cristiano Ronaldo 8 goals (Manchester United) [as of the group stage].

Fourth place: Benzema 6 goals (Real Madrid).

Fifth place: Drogba 5 goals (Chelsea).

The top spot on the scoring list was none other than Super Mario!

Suker and Messi's competition in the League was too intense, which led to them not being able to fully commit to the Champions League, and instead allowed Mandžukić to snatch the prize.

Of course, nothing could be seen at this stage, but his form was indeed excellent.

Moreover, he wondered if it was because he and Messi were too competitive.

The total number of goals in the Champions League had significantly increased compared to last season.

And all of this was telling Suker that the brutal battle was about to begin!
