After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!

Not accustomed to the rough style of the Premier League, coupled with not having a core position, he finds it hard to play.

This is the difference between [Veron] and Huang Kaiwen.

Even if Huang Kaiwen doesn’t draw a card, he can use a template to play from the left to the middle and then to the right, without losing himself in a change of position.

"The match hasn’t started yet, and the air is already charged with tension on the field."

"Indeed, mainly because the Lazio fans are extremely excited. Even in an away game, they dare to provoke AC Milan fans, causing quite a stir near the away fans’ stand, and security personnel have already been dispatched to handle it."

"They have confiscated the fans’ fireworks, fearing they might shoot them at each other from the stands, which has happened in many leagues and can even cause a temporary halt to the match."

"Yes, Serie A fans also love setting off fireworks in the stands. In the famous firework derby, Huang Kaiwen helped Dida block a firework thrown onto the field by Inter Milan fans. Dida mentions this every time in interviews, so it’s reasonable that Huang Kaiwen is popular in the team. He can really step up at critical moments, and as the first Asian captain in the history of a European football giant, it’s not surprising at all."

"Yes, before the match started, Huang Kaiwen was already communicating with the opponents and AC Milan fans, probably telling them to restrain themselves and not make the situation too embarrassing. As a captain, Huang Kaiwen is doing a good job in this regard."

"The players from both sides have returned to the tunnel. Let’s take a look at the starting line-ups."

AC Milan 4-4-2 diamond midfield:

Goalkeeper: Abbiati,

Defenders: Antonini, Nesta, Sven Bender, Lars Bender,

Midfielders: Huang Kaiwen, Van Bommel, Kaka, Gattuso,

Forwards: Torres, Ibrahimovic.

Lazio 4-4-2 diamond midfield:

Goalkeeper: Muslera,

Defenders: Stefan Radu, Biava, Andre Dias, Lixishtena,

Midfielders: Christian Brocchi, Leidesma, Anderson Hernanes, Alvaro Gonzalez,

Forwards: Kozak, Giuseppe Scuri.

"It was unexpected to see the Bender brothers in the starting line-up today, and pairing up on the right side has completely transformed AC Milan’s defense."

"Yes, Guardiola made significant rotations to AC Milan’s lineup. The newly joined Van Bommel also got his first starting opportunity, and he, together with Gattuso, is responsible for defense, which indeed creates a sense of security."

"As for Lazio, their lineup is complex, filled with a lot of Portuguese-speaking players, primarily South American, with only Brocchi and Scuri being Italian."

"Coach Zhang missed one, Leidesma joined Italian nationality in 2008."

"Hehe, that’s indeed the case."

At 2 PM, the referee Antonio Damato blew the whistle to start the match.

Lazio, having lost the coin toss, kicked off first.

Eddie Reja’s team is very different in style from Guardiola’s.

Guardiola wants his players to play in his style once he finds skillful players.

Eddie Reja, on the other hand, establishes a simple framework and lets his South American players play freely, focusing on building a defensive system much like Mourinho.

Unfortunately, he doesn’t have Mourinho’s capability.

There are only a few coaches in history who have mastered defense to its extreme.

Among so many coaches, only Mourinho and Rehagel’s defense has left their opponents seething with anger.

After receiving the ball in the center, Hernanes didn’t rush to move forward.

This former Brazilian League’s best player kept observing his teammates’ positions, squinting in the sunlight.

Brocchi advanced quickly.

The most famous 4-4-2 diamond midfield is Ferguson’s Manchester United.

This formation has high demands on the wings; players must help the team widen the field, and defensively they need to return to the center or block the opponent on the wings.

This requires not only endurance but also a certain level of game reading ability.

After receiving Brocchi’s forward pass, he waited for Alvaro Gonzalez to position himself on the other side.

He lacks the breakthrough ability of Giggs, so long-range passes are a necessary skill for them.

Huang Kaiwen also noticed this and immediately went to defend against the advancing Gonzalez.

At this time, Gattuso also rushed up.

With no need to overly concern himself with the center since Pirlo isn’t the lone defensive midfielder behind him.

Left with no choice, Brocchi could only pass the ball to the fast-forwarding Radu.

Radu, this Romanian player, is extremely fast; even ten years later, his sprinting speed is renowned in Serie A.

Gattuso clearly underestimated this young player Radu, keeping more of his defensive attention on the center.

At that moment, Radu suddenly accelerated, and before Gattuso realized something was wrong, it was too late.

"Wow, what an amazing speed!"

"Indeed, Radu’s burst of speed is impressive. Just considering the burst speed, it ranks just behind Huang Kaiwen and Torres today. His ball-carrying speed is just a bit slower than Huang Kaiwen, Torres, and Kaka, which is quite a feat for a defensive player."

AC Milan players did not anticipate Radu’s speed being so fast.

However, Van Bommel remained calm and steady.

As the former Bayern captain, he shouted in German: "Go directly for the tackle, don’t wait, if you miss, I’ll fill in."
