"For Chinese fans."

"This is a magical night."

"Since Chinese players began playing in the top five leagues, no one has scored a long shot in the Champions League. Chen Zhong has once again made history for Chinese players in the Champions League."

"With an impeccable performance, showing a maturity far beyond his 16 years."

"On this very night."

"He told everyone that far in the East, in China, there can also be players on the top stage, in top clubs, delivering top performances."

"Every step he takes now is on a path no one has walked before, and everything he experiences is a new chapter."

"At this moment, how can one not be moved to tears."

"1:0"

"Let's see what kind of performance the hope of the village can deliver."

The commentator's passionate voice sparked some controversy, but the heat of discussion online did not diminish despite the controversy.

[I really... I always thought it would be the Manchester United Director.]

[Is a player like this really from our country? It's like a combination of Beauty and the Beast, wild when needed, gentle when needed.]

[Not to mention anything else, his ability to clear dirty balls is truly exceptional. Each time he takes the hardest balls and cleans them up before passing them, there are still people criticizing him for not scoring or assisting. Come on, at this age, what more do you want?]

[Enough said, just that long shot of his is enough for me to rave about for a year.]

[Against Lazio from Serie A, which was once known as the small World Cup, facing such a team, with a performance like this, I can only say the future is promising.]

[Wow, why are so many people discussing him today? Has his popularity risen this much domestically?]

[Damn, this is the hope for the future! When I think about the players in our current national team, I used to think the 2002 World Cup was our beginning, but now I realize that was the peak.]

[Damn, are we really going to discuss such disappointing things at this point?]

[It's a joke if this kid can join the national team. Didn't it just state a short while ago that due to tactical considerations and the player's personal wishes, the national team does not intend to call up Chen Zhong.]

[Haha, 3 goals and 1 assist in the Champions League already, destined to be a historical figure. They will be infamous for refusing to call up Chen Zhong.]

The first half has not ended yet, and Lazio has not given up. Real Madrid seemed to relax after that goal, appearing somewhat "sluggish" against Lazio's attack, allowing Mutarelli to slot a direct pass to Rocky. Pepe, due to an impulsive tackle, allowed Rocky to break into the penalty area.

The Merengue fans in the stands exclaimed, and amidst these exclamations, Casillas abandoned his goal and charged toward Rocky. Rocky faced with Casillas charging at him, did not choose to shoot.

He knew how fast Casillas' reaction was and instead chipped the ball to the far side.

Cannavaro and Pandev rushed towards the ball simultaneously. Possibly because it looked like the ball would glance off the post and go out of bounds, Cannavaro slowed down, intending to see the ball out.

However, one slowed down, and the other went all out, the result was self-explanatory.

Pandev desperately slid for the ball, and the ball was kicked into the net by him, but he slammed half his body hard against the post.

"1:1"

"Lazio equalized the score!"

"The initiative to qualify is back in their hands."

"This is Pandev's 4th goal in the Champions League."

"Wait..."

"Chen Zhong is squatting beside Pandev, seemingly calling for the medical team."

"Is Pandev injured?"

Pandev's forehead was covered in sweat. Chen Zhong initially intended to retrieve the ball from the net, but seeing Pandev's pain couldn't help but run over.

The first thing he noticed was Pandev's twisted left thigh.

Every footballer fears injury, and Chen Zhong didn't hesitate to call loudly for the medical team on the sidelines.

At this time, players from both Lazio and Real Madrid gathered around.

After a series of diagnostics, Lazio brought out a stretcher and carried Pandev off the field, while signaling a substitution to the coach.

"Chen." Cannavaro came over, patting Chen Zhong on the shoulder, saying: "You see?"

"Playing desperately is good, but you also need to protect yourself, especially since you're still young. Injuries can have a huge impact on you."

"So many young players never reach their potential because of injuries. In the Spanish Super Cup against Sevilla, if your header had..."

Cannavaro advised Chen Zhong earnestly, and Chen Zhong nodded with lingering fear. In his first match, he was all about blocking, sliding, and risking everything. At that time, he thought he had the chance to play, so he must go all out to show himself and seize the opportunity.

But now...

If an injury takes him out for a goal, is it worth it?

Soon, the match answered Chen Zhong. After Pandev left, Lazio became like a spineless creature, no longer threatening in attack, players appeared anxious and seemed unable to focus on the game, lacking the determination and conviction of Real Madrid.
