"Hahahahahahaha!"
"Good, good, good kid!"
"No wonder he's the guy I value." Schuster laughed heartily. At this moment, the lion king couldn't wait to pat someone on the back, but unfortunately, Francisco kept his distance, completely unaware of his intentions, and stayed far away: "Francisco, what's your take on what Chen said to the reporters?"
"This feat accomplished 44 years ago."
"Can we replicate it again!"
Schuster's eyes were burning with a raging fire. He was now very enthusiastic about breaking all sorts of records because he enjoyed the media praise he received when setting new records.
Yes, and also the relentless mockery for failing to set them.
And this time, as long as he could accomplish the epic task of conquering the four Devil's Home Grounds, he would undoubtedly leave a rich mark in the history of Real Madrid!
"I think what we need to consider first is the issue with Robben and Robinho," Francisco said, looking at Schuster, who was laughing: "Robben has recovered from injury, and Robinho's current form is excellent..."
"No need to worry about that!"
"Robinho can play on the left, Robben on the right."
"As for the middle." Schuster paused; the right wing had been Sneijder's position, but after the highlights at the season's start, Sneijder's performance had not plummeted dramatically but was rather unremarkable: "The combination of Baptista and Chen is outstanding, and I don't intend to change it."
"Besides, I have a score to settle with Atletico Madrid."
Schuster is someone who holds grudges; the "humiliation" Atletico Madrid left him with in the first round of the league left a deep impression.
Time passed quickly, and most teams had completed their matches in the 20th round of La Liga, during which a new record was set.
"Chen, have you heard?"
"7 seconds, the fastest goal in the league has been set."
"Valladolid's forward Llorente scored a lightning-fast goal against the Spanish."
"7 seconds???" Chen Zhong stared with wide eyes, somewhat incredulous: "That's insanely fast!"
"To be precise, it's 7.42 seconds." Robben sat down with a tray, looking at Chen Zhong with a smile: "Long time no see, Chen. We can fight side by side on the field again."
"I still remember the match against Getafe, where we had great chemistry, and you assisted me with a beautiful goal. The media even took photos of us."
Since joining Real Madrid this season, Robben had been constantly plagued with injuries. Even after recovering, it was hard for him to go straight back into the starting lineup, often only getting game time in less critical matches, during which he occasionally got injured again.
The two indeed hadn't "fought" together for quite some time.
Chen Zhong glanced at Robben. Initially, it was nothing notable, but Robben frequently mentioned that match against Getafe, which inevitably reminded him of what the media said post-match, the "Robben and his steed" thing.
It was originally just a joke, and Chen Zhong didn't mind too much.
But Robben continually bringing it up turned it into a bit of a nuisance.
Just you wait!
In the future, when we're not teammates, I'll show you what cruelty means.
At this moment, Robben could never have imagined that the disputes between him and Chen Zhong upon their next encounter would stem from what he now considered the beginning of their friendship.
Whenever Chen Zhong tried to forget, in games where they met again later, Robben always loved to "reminisce" before the match, elaborating on their first "intimacy" and that photo of "Robben and his steed."
After a simple exchange of pleasantries, the conversation turned to the topic of the fastest goal record. Originally, this record belonged to former Malaga forward Dario Silva, who scored a goal in 8 seconds flat in December 2000, and most dramatically, it was against Valladolid at the time.
"Aguero still brags about breaking our goal in 55 seconds."
"His speed doesn't come anywhere near ranking among the fastest goals."
"This time, we also need to set a record."
The air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
La Liga fastest goal rankings:
2007-08 Valladolid-Spanish Llorente (Spain) 7.42 seconds
2000-01 Malaga-Valladolid Dario Silva (Uruguay) 8 seconds
2001-02 Rayo Vallecano-Osasuna Amentano (Argentina) 10 seconds
1992-93 Albacete-Cadiz Romel Fernandez (Panama) 12 seconds
1994-95 Sevilla-Real Madrid Samarinno (Chile) 12 seconds
...
Madrid, Estadio Vicente Calderón
Fans of The Sheet Army, dressed in red and white stripes, sang loudly as they entered the stadium, while the Merengues, clad in pure white jerseys, arrived in groups.
Atletico Madrid's fans showcased their passionate atmosphere even before the match began, with banners displaying: "You will not win, you will not have a chance to complete the challenge."
Chen Zhong's declaration: "I hope to challenge the impossible with the team, conquering the four Devil's Home Grounds in a single season," sparked a wave throughout La Liga.
Before Chen Zhong spoke, some had already noticed Real Madrid was replicating a feat from 44 years ago, but since it hadn't been completed, even journalists wanted to wait until Real Madrid won the match before reporting on this achievement.
