Even if Queiroz left, the new head coach wouldn't like a troublemaker like him either.
Ronaldo, Zidane, Beckham, Figo—weren't they all greater than Su Hang?
But who would dare voice their discontent with the coach?
Su Hang had crossed a line.
No matter how well a player like that performed, a team could still choose to freeze him out.
"Um... was that a bad question?"
Clara sensed from the crowd's reaction that she might've caused trouble for Su Hang.
"No, it was perfect! You're an excellent reporter!"
Su Hang even gave Clara a high five!
...
**"Winning the Copa del Rey was no fluke! Real Madrid's rising star helps the team crush Sevilla 5-1!"**
**"One assist, two goals, and three yellow cards! Su Hang conquers the Bernabéu and earns Man of the Match honors!"**
**"Chinese striker explodes in back-to-back matches! Proof it's no coincidence—Real Madrid's youth program is delivering results!"**
**"Florentino's Zidane + Pavón strategy may be questionable, but Zidane + Su Hang is working brilliantly!"**
**"The Beast Baptista: His Aerial Dominance is insane. If I'm a beast, then he's a beast in the sky!"**
**"Sevilla goalkeeper: Su Hang bombarded our box—he ruled the skies!"**
**"No need for the traitor Morientes to return—Su Hang is a top-tier upgrade!"**
After the match, Su Hang dominated the La Liga headlines.
Such is the power of Real Madrid.
Fans had mixed feelings about Morientes.
Su Hang's rise helped Real Madrid solve a long-standing issue.
Morientes had once been the team's main striker. But after the arrival of Ronaldo, he was benched.
Last season, he made 28 appearances—only two as a starter.
As long as Ronaldo was around, Morientes had no chance.
To maintain harmony, Real Madrid loaned Morientes to Monaco this season.
For a star like him, that was a slap in the face.
But not long ago, Morientes, now with Monaco, eliminated Real Madrid from the Champions League quarter-finals.
That was a bitter pill for fans to swallow.
Many called Morientes a traitor.
It became one of football's most iconic revenge stories.
It even led to the creation of the "Morientes Clause"—Real Madrid now often requires loaned players to sit out matches against their parent club.
Still, some supported Morientes, believing a player of his caliber should never have been loaned out.
But now, no one needed to talk about Morientes anymore.
Forget the traitor.
Isn't Su Hang enough?
Clara, a reporter from *Marca*, was the first journalist to interview Su Hang.
She was the one who broke the story: "If Su Hang can't make it in football, he'll just go home and inherit a billion-dollar fortune."
Now that Su Hang was back in the spotlight, Clara earned her own column in *Marca*—a privilege usually reserved for star reporters.
She relentlessly promoted Su Hang in her articles, even claiming:
"As a high-end version of Morientes, Su Hang can absolutely coexist with Ronaldo and Raúl."
"He can take pressure off Ronaldo and help keep the alien injury-free."
"He's willing to do the dirty work up front. In this match alone, he forced three yellow cards!"
"With him on the pitch, Ronaldo won't be fouled as much."
"It's time for Real Madrid to consider a three-forward formation! Not for Su Hang—but for Ronaldo. For the most explosive attack Real Madrid can offer!"
"I've even come up with a name for the front three of Su Hang, Ronaldo, and Raúl—**HRR**!"
"H for Hang, RR for Ronaldo and Raúl!"
"Just like the abbreviation for House of Rolls-Royce!"
"**HRR**—Europe's most prestigious front three!"
*House of Rolls-Royce—Rolls-Royce.*
You had to admit—Clara had a knack for this.
Her debut column became an instant hit.
The name HRR echoed across Spain—and even drew interest from the media in other European leagues.
After all, Ronaldo was a two-time Ballon d'Or winner and three-time FIFA World Player of the Year.
Raúl, also a megastar, once finished second in Ballon d'Or voting.
So who exactly was this "H"?
With the Real Madrid platform and the fame of Ronaldo and Raúl, Su Hang quickly rose to stardom across Europe.
But the more people got to know him, the more many clubs disliked what they saw.
Su Hang was blatantly disrespectful toward the manager's authority.
No club appreciated that.
Even fans who imagined themselves in a club exec's shoes didn't like that kind of player.
...
**"Ding! Your outstanding performance has stunned Baptista. He now sees you as a beast in the air! You've gained the superstar skill: 'Baptista's Beast Body'!"**
**"Baptista's Beast Body: Baptista is a versatile player capable of covering multiple positions. His physical prowess is a shared trait across them all."**
**"Your strength, jumping, footwork, stamina, and injury resistance have all been enhanced."**
**"When engaging in physical duels, there's a chance to trigger the special effect 'Physical Suppression,' helping you win those confrontations."**
**"When targeted by malicious physical attacks, the skill 'Stress Response' will automatically activate, significantly boosting your hand-to-hand combat ability until the conflict ends. Afterwards, you'll suffer a fatigue penalty lasting twice the duration of the conflict."**
!!!
Now that's what I'm talking about!
Baptista, you're officially a friend!
Su Hang hadn't expected Baptista to be this generous.
Never mind the raw power or physical edge—this "Stress Response" was incredible.
It wasn't just useful on the pitch.
Off the field, it made a fantastic self-defense tool.
Let's face it—Europe's not exactly known for perfect public safety.
**"Ding! Your on-field performance has earned Zidane's recognition, though he thinks your footwork needs work. He has granted you the superstar skill: 'Marseille Turn.'"**
**"Marseille Turn: Signature moves named after players are often timeless. If Zidane weren't so humble, this might've been called the Zidane Turn."**
**"You've learned the basics of this technique and can pull it off in relatively relaxed conditions."**
**"When you successfully use it to beat an opponent, your speed, shooting, and passing will all receive a temporary boost!"**
Beautiful!
Su Hang was thrilled.
No wonder they call him the King of French Football.
He knew exactly what was needed—and provided just that.
Thanks to the generosity of these two stars, Su Hang also unlocked his strength and jumping stats:
**Strength: 75
Jumping: 70
Heading: 77
Shooting: 71**
The last two had also seen improvements—likely a result of his recent training and match performances.
