Anfield Stadium
The halftime whistle gave Liverpool a chance to catch their breath. They didn't expect Real Madrid, under the leadership of Chen Zhong, to display such performance and determination.
The tunnel to the Anfield locker room seemed to swallow all unnecessary sounds, leaving only suffocating heaviness, or perhaps the presence of Chen Zhong.
The faces of Liverpool players were filled with bitterness and anxiety. A 2-0 lead vanished within 45 minutes, and the opponent was the regal Real Madrid, famed for their "Champions League DNA," along with Chen Zhong, who dominated fate in numerous critical moments.
The Asian man with 9 Ballon d'Ors to his name.
He is practically the "chosen one," the god of football descended.
Of course, some also lament that it might be Real Madrid's powerful capacity to forge Ballon d'Or winners, but regardless, Chen Zhong remains a challenging and respected opponent.
