Stepping onto the pitch, watched by tens of thousands, taking on a crucial role.
La Liga's opening match, Derby de Madrid, Real Madrid's championship ceremony.
Fans worldwide are watching this match, and when they hear the commentator mention Chen Zhong, just a 16-year-old player, they can't help but question it.
"Is Real Madrid serious?"
"Did he offend the coach? The opponents are Fernando and Aguero up front."
"16 years old? Real Madrid? As a center-back? Can a player this age really play at such a level?"
Questioning, questioning, and more questioning.
Even the Merengue fans feel mostly anxious inside. Some are even directly cursing Schuster, questioning why he has placed Chen Zhong on the bench, when even Torres would have been a better choice!
Schuster has his reasons, though. He had all planned out; Pepe's speed, stamina, and experience were perfect for the center-back role in his tactical setup. Paired with Cannavaro, his central defense was stable.
