At this moment, Chen Zhong moved up from the back row, while C. Ronaldo, after a dribble, side-footed a lofty pass to the center.
At that moment, it was as if a "slow-motion button" was pressed on the field.
Around them, Villarreal players sensed the danger and ran towards Chen Zhong. On the sidelines, Pellegrini's eyes widened and his mouth slightly open, while Garrido was pulling at his hair, resistance written all over his face.
Tears welled up again in the eyes of Villarreal's fans, and the dry throats of Real Madrid fans began to prepare the sounds of celebration.
"C. Ronaldo broke through the double team!"
"Villarreal's reaction was very fast."
"A dribble change-up."
"Lofty pass to the center!"
"Chen Zhong!"
A broad path lay before Chen Zhong, and both Negredo and Higuain turned their attention to this man sprinting through the center.
He leapt high, heading towards the goal.
