Azpilicueta, Juan Fran, Nacho Monreal, and other defensive players were interviewed after the match. During the interview, they all mentioned Chen Zhong and expressed surprise at the outcome of the match.
"We all know what kind of team Real Madrid is."
"Chen is a player of high caliber. Although we were at home, we had no guarantee of victory."
"In fact, they almost broke through our defense, but clearly, we were in better form."
Compared to Real Madrid, Osasuna's players were evidently in better form. They held onto the draw in this match, preventing the points gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid from widening further.
Real Madrid made some simple adjustments after the winter transfer window opened, with some players being loaned to other clubs for development, and others joining the first team's training.
The arrival of Marco Alonso and Jose Rodriguez also gave Chen Zhong more influence in the dressing room.
