"Or having a player with characteristics like Chen Zhong would be great!"
Pellegrini muttered to himself. Although at the beginning of the season, he was somewhat lacking in utilizing Chen Zhong, now, even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to acknowledge that Chen Zhong's presence ensured Real Madrid's fighting spirit and the stability of the locker room.
If it weren't for "Master Chen" being there, who knows how many would claim to be king and emperor!
Pellegrini didn't pay much attention to Villarreal, as this season, under Valverde's coaching, Villarreal had been languishing in the middle and lower positions of the league, even close to the relegation zone at one point.
Although there was some improvement as the winter window approached, the new coach hadn't been in charge for long, and his qualifications were quite shallow. Villarreal's position was one of neither desire nor demand, and they were playing at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, their home ground.
