Chapter 719: Chapter 16: The Locker Room Belongs to Chen
After an "uneventful" match.
Chen Zhong realized once again the importance of improving himself; he cannot remain stagnant.
In the match against Sevilla, he repeatedly attempted to break through with heavy cannon shots.
However, the blood and flesh wall Sevilla erected in front of the goal was the first "defense" he needed to break through, and even after passing this defense, accuracy issues would still arise.
Now Chen Zhong has two choices: one is to upgrade the heavy cannon characteristic, or the second is to find a new heavy cannon characteristic.
Allowing him to have another solution when facing such situations in the future.
Meanwhile, Adebayor’s transfer was completed, and a welcome ceremony was held at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
Following the ceremony, he revealed in front of the cameras that he had received an invitation from Barcelona during his time at Arsenal but did not transfer.
Adebayor seemed to be somewhat clever, expressing goodwill towards Real Madrid in front of the cameras: "I know Barcelona is an excellent team, but I want to play for Real Madrid."
Adebayor jokingly said: "When I was playing at Arsenal, Barcelona wanted to sign me, but I didn’t go to Barcelona."
"Of course, I don’t regret it; now that I’m at Real Madrid, this is where I wanted to be, playing for Real Madrid makes my dream come true."
"I come from a small country in Africa, and now I’m going to play for Real Madrid, which fills me with joy."
"The people of Togo will also feel proud because of this."
When Adebayor said these words, his eyes were sparkling. Currently, Real Madrid’s center forward position lacks a central figure.
After Negredo left, Real Madrid has no number 9 now.
Moreover, the team’s coach is Mourinho, whose former favorite was the "Magic Beast" Didier Drogba, and Adebayor’s nickname is "Little Magic Beast," handpicked by Mourinho.
Doesn’t that explain everything?
Adebayor was in high spirits when talking about future goals, exuding ambition, or perhaps ambition; he stated: "Honestly, with me, Real Madrid is already the best team."
"If I didn’t think so, there would be no point in joining Real Madrid."
"For victory, we will go all out."
Adebayor’s remarks did not receive warm applause; instead, numerous reporters and fans looked at this Togo striker with a peculiar gaze.
You speak like that...
Do you know the Real Madrid locker room has the surname Chen?
This matter hadn’t yet fermented, and as a result, Adebayor, who had just joined Real Madrid, attracted attention again the next day for not participating in the new team’s group training.
Initially, people were not too harsh on Adebayor.
After all, a soldier who doesn’t want to be a general isn’t a good soldier.
But, you also need to work hard!
Resulting in saying big words and then asking for leave the next day?
Yes, Adebayor took leave to go to Manchester to handle some personal matters.
Yesterday Mourinho gave the first team a day off, Adebayor trained with the Real Madrid second team, and after training, he attended a press conference held at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, officially meeting the media as a Real Madrid player.
Everyone assumed that after putting down ambitious words, Adebayor wouldn’t miss the first training under Mourinho the next day.
It was believed that this center forward would most likely start in the upcoming match against Osasuna.
Given reliable information indicating Real Madrid’s planned training session would focus primarily on the next match tactics, hence not open to media.
Now, whether Adebayor can be selected for the starting lineup in the next match has become a big question mark.
...
Initially, after Adebayor joined, the Real Madrid center forward position seemed "concluded."
After all, Mourinho had a "Magic Beast" Didier Drogba under his command, and Adebayor’s nickname is "Little Magic Beast"; currently, the center forward Benzema was once strongly backed by Valdano, whereas Adebayor was handpicked by Mourinho.
Regarding "Benzecat" and "Little Magic Beast," obviously, Mourinho would favor the latter.
As long as Adebayor seizes the opportunity, transitioning smoothly isn’t a "dream."
However, after a day off, when the locker room players knew Adebayor didn’t come for training and went back to Manchester City to handle matters, every face showed some subtlety.
Marcelo brazenly approached Chen Zhong, inquiring whether Adebayor had any communications with him, any private exchange.
Chen Zhong honestly replied to this.
"I am also looking forward to meeting him."
"Seems we’ll have to wait another day."
This statement made the locker room atmosphere delicate, with Casillas having the most interesting expression; the last person to ignore Chen Zhong and suffer was this captain of the Spain National Team.
Benzema’s formerly resigned expression now showed a hint of seriousness.
On the following day, interviews regarding Benzema spread across the streets of Madrid, even Mourinho was surprised by Benzema’s remarks.
