I Am Scouted by Real Madrid

Chapter 73 - 43: Top of the Table

"To hell with reaching the top.""The person who arranged the schedule should be hanged."

"This damned, absurd, bastard schedule!"

Schuster plopped down into his office chair, smacking the table with sheer irritation. After drawing with Valladolid, he’d been harassed by the media for a whole day, and now, in today’s just-concluded fifth round of the league, Villarreal had defeated their opponents, topping the league standings with 12 points, having played an extra match.

Italian youngster Rossi displayed his flair once again, having scored two goals to defeat his opponent last week, and in this match, with precise passing during a counterattack in the 76th minute, secured the winner against his opponent.

He successfully helped his team temporarily surpass Real Madrid to become the league leaders.

Villarreal’s fans were bragging about Rossi’s genius online, even thanking Real Madrid fans for holding onto the top spot for them for a while.

In response, Real Madrid fans posted various GIFs of Chen Zhong’s aggressive tackles on Rossi, while also calling for Chen Zhong to play more.

"Damn it, why are we using Metzelder?"works and can see how eager fans are for a breakthrough in the Champions League.

"Perhaps we can try 4-3-3?" Francisco suggested: "Robben has returned from injury, but Metzelder strained himself during training, and there’s also Cannavaro. However, Cannavaro’s injury is minor and he’ll be ready for tomorrow’s match."

"Good news." Schuster looked at Francisco and asked the most critical question: "How is Chen’s condition? I want to know if he’s currently in peak form."

Though reluctant to admit it, Chen Zhong had indeed become a crucial member of the defense. With him, the defense seemed like it had a backbone rather than being scattered like loose sand.

"Disalvo says..." Francisco looked uncomfortable as he spoke, "Chen needs more rest time to reach peak form, probably before the match against Barcelona."

"He indicated that Chen’s fitness level is relatively low compared to the team..."

"Goddammit!" Schuster erupted in anger, yelling, "What the hell does he know about fitness? Look at all the strains we’ve suffered because of his shitty training during this period!"

"What does he have besides the title of a fitness coach that shows his professionalism in fitness?"

"We must reclaim the top position."
