It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 21 A Heavy Weight on My Shoulders

【Charlotte Bar】

"Isn't it said that this guy loves walking the most? He won the favor of Guardiola with his beautiful walking posture and walks on the field every time a game starts?"

"Calling me the Walking Emperor is simply slandering me, the 'Fisherman' Charles."

"That's right, that's right. I think this guy should be called a 'bait'. He is a fisherman who specializes in laying bait and letting others scold him. Then he will perform a 'god descending to earth' to slap the media in the face."

"I just saw you at the fishing bar. Why aren't you fishing? Are you here to check out the bait?"

"It's probably the Air Force again."

"How can you call the Air Force responsible for the fishermen's business?"

……

After Charles scored the goal, although it was not at Barcelona's home ground, it seemed as if the whole stadium was full of Barcelona fans.

"Forca Barca!"

"Forca Barca!!"

“Forca Barca!!!”

After Charles high-fived Henry and Xavi, other Barcelona teammates who were farther away gathered around to celebrate.

Guardiola excitedly began to talk about tactics to the air.

Charles's movement was so smart.

But the protagonist of the celebration began to scratch his hands again.

But I had applied medicine on my hands, and I wrapped them with a bandage to prevent them from being rubbed off.

Charles’ dilemma now is that his hands itch, but he can’t scratch them.

"Charles, are your hands itching again?"

"Otherwise, go and rest first and go to the hospital."

After a while, Ciel felt his hands were no longer itchy. "I'm fine. I feel much better now."

Immediately, Racing Santander replaced Pereira with Zidane.

The game starts again.

"Charles' high-speed breakthroughs and passes completely disrupted the opponent's defensive rhythm."

"Guardiola said before, 'If you want to create more depth in attack, you can put Charles on the field. He is a very high-level player and even giving him 10 to 15 minutes can decide a game.'"

In the 19th minute, Charles passed the ball and Henry's left-foot shot in the penalty area was blocked by the defender.

In the 21st minute, Tonio made a long pass from the backcourt, Zigic headed the ball in front of the penalty area, and Munitis headed the ball back, but it was saved by Valdes.

In the 24th minute, Alves fell in the Santander penalty area. The referee Borbaran penalized Alves for diving and showed him a yellow card.

As time passed, Charles felt his energy rapidly declining.

Soon, in the 25th minute, Charles made an accurate diagonal pass to Henry.

Henry didn't stop the ball, he just turned and shot.

"Charles seized the fleeting opportunity and passed the ball diagonally to Henry."

"Henry catches the ball... doesn't stop it, shoots!"

The moment Henry kicked the ball, Barrera started running towards Henry's shooting path.

Just as the ball was heading straight for the goal, Barrera stretched his leg to clear it.

Although the ball did hit his foot, Barrera failed to clear it.

"Barrera made a mistake in clearing the ball and accidentally kicked a high ball."

Charles saw that Barrera accidentally kicked the ball high, so he quickly started to rush to the right side of the penalty area before Marcano could react. After Charles stopped the ball with his chest, he leaned his body slightly, raised his right foot directly, and kicked the ball hard. "Pah--"

The ball drew an arc in the air, like a shooting star.

Before Santander Racing goalkeeper Tono could react, the ball had already hit the goal post and went into the net.

"Charle succeeded in grabbing the ball and stopped it with his chest."

"Volley, shot... beautiful, the ball goes in!"

"The white feather of a meteor is inserted on the waist, and the sword flower autumn lotus shines out of the box. The heavenly soldiers descend from the Jade Pass in the snow, and the enemy's arrows shoot at the golden armor like sand."

"Charles scored twice! At the same time, this goal is the 5000th league goal in Barcelona's history."

"This is also Charles' second game for Barcelona. In the last game, Charles, who was troubled by allergies, only played for about 25 minutes and got an assist."

"In this game, in the 25th minute, after his arm injury healed, Charles scored two goals by himself, responding strongly to the media's pessimism after the previous game."

"As long as Charles is not injured, he will be Barcelona's strongest weapon."

"Before the game started, everyone knew that with two more goals, Barcelona would reach the 5000th league goal record."

"Who will score the 5000th goal in Barcelona's history has always been a hotly discussed topic among the media before the game."

"As the team's top scorer, Eto'o has always been considered the most likely candidate to create this record."

"Before the game, Barcelona coach Guardiola also said: 'Of course the team's main striker is more likely to score, but everyone has a chance, maybe Abidal, who never scores, can't rule out the possibility of a goal coming from a set piece.'"

"But no one thought that this person would be Charles, who just joined Barcelona in the winter transfer window this year and was injured after only playing once."

"At the same time, because he is not a striker, he has too little time to score."

"It is the individual's skills and tactics that make a star, but it is destiny that makes a legend."

"Destiny chose Maradona to score the Goal of the Century against England in the 86 World Cup."

"Fate chose Zidane, allowing him to score twice in the 98 World Cup final."

"Now destiny has chosen Charles to score his 5000th goal, to end a period of history and create a new one."

"The history of Real Madrid and Barcelona was rewritten by two people in just 24 hours. Before the celebration of Raul's record of 307 goals had faded, Charles sent Barcelona's 4999th and 5000th league goals into the gate of Santander."

"Real Madrid's 5000th goal was scored by Guti, which is a small regret in Raul's series of records. Barcelona's 5000th goal was scored by this Frenchman."

Raul's personal achievements are unattainable, but Charles, 13 years younger than him, also wrote his name into history at this moment. "

"Charles may be the man of destiny for Barcelona."

"Everyone knows this is the 5000th goal. Charles has made history. Everyone hopes that time will stop at this moment."

"But Charles was more sober than anyone else and did not choose to celebrate wildly because the game was not over yet. His responsibility to the team was in the future, not in the past..."

Fortunately, this commentator was not a live commentator. If he didn't talk about Charles's performance, he would have received two slaps in the face.

The reason why they did not choose to celebrate wildly was not as grand as the commentator said.

It’s just because—Charles’ hands are too itchy!

Escorted by her teammates, Xia'er walked towards the sidelines while scratching her right hand.

Charles habitually took Guardiola's tactical board with his left hand and stretched out his right hand at the same time.

Pruna trotted over, frowning, and quickly untied the bandage on Ciel's right hand.

"Pruna, didn't you say that Ciel's hand was fine?"

"Snapped--"

But before Pruna could completely remove the bandage on Charles' right hand, Guardiola suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder.
