This is already a new generation, the once familiar figures have disappeared, caught in the cracks of time, yet Chen Zhong is unwilling to admit his "aging."
Deafening cheers swept through the Bernabeu, as if they were about to lift off the white dome.
Mbappe's goal ignited the entire stadium, and youthful passion exploded instantly.
Vinicius and Mbappe held each other tightly, eventually almost being carried to the sidelines by the swarming teammates—Valverde, Bellingham, Camavinga, and others—to celebrate.
The camera keenly captured Chen Zhong on the sideline.
He stood there with hands on his hips, as if he saw the shadow of an old acquaintance in Mbappe, not joining the youngsters in their wild celebration.
He just stood there, with a faint and barely noticeable smile on his face, slightly raising his fist to greet the celebrating crowd.
