After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football! - Chapter 1802 - 483: Ultimately Paid the Price
Are we pressing Huang Kaiwen or defending Ibrahimovic, can you make that clear?
You don’t think two center-backs, each taking care of one, can solve AC Milan’s attack, do you?
Ibrahimovic’s huge frame is darting around in the penalty area, disrupting Lazio’s defense, while Huang Kaiwen’s sudden acceleration further throws Lazio’s backline off balance.
Leidesma and Diaz rushed towards Huang Kaiwen, and at that moment Huang Kaiwen lifted his right leg and discreetly sent a through ball.
Pa—
The ball went directly to a position further on the left.
Lixishtena and Torres both reacted a step late.
This situation turns into a race for start time, and naturally, Torres has the advantage.
The two sprint towards the direction of the corner flag, with Lixishtena making up his mind and swiftly sliding in from the side.
This time he was lucky to touch the ball first, and Torres collided with his leg, unable to dodge, and fell to the ground.
The danger is temporarily relieved, letting Eddie Reja breathe a sigh of relief; he immediately clapped his hands and shouted on the field: "All of you be careful, watch who takes the corner for AC Milan this time, and defend Torres, Ibrahimović, Kaiwen, and Kaka..."
The fourth official is holding back laughter on the sidelines.
It’s the first time seeing such a humorous coach.
When directing the team, you just recite all the opposing attacking players, right?
Having officiated so many Serie A matches, don’t mention marking all of AC Milan’s attacking players.
If you can contain Milan’s forwards, that’s already quite a success.
Neither Inter Milan nor Juventus can maintain this throughout the match, only succeeding in one or two attacks, did the Lazio coach misjudge his team’s strength?
"Alessandro, Alessandro, get into the penalty area!"
Huang Kaiwen waved his hand and beckoned.
Nesta nodded and headed into the penalty area.
Van Bommel understood Huang Kaiwen’s intention; this was to prepare a pass to Nesta.
But he was a bit worried, Huang Kaiwen is blatantly telling the opponent where the attack is headed, isn’t he?
Van Bommel voiced his concern to Kaka, who was standing near the arc.
Kaka smiled and said, "Kaiwen is just like that; even if he tells them directly, Lazio still can’t defend it. Scoring after letting them know they can’t stop it feels even better."
Van Bommel couldn’t help but exclaim, that’s incredibly bold!
But on second thought, Huang Kaiwen indeed has such a qualification.
During the previous World Cup, many teammates would cling to Robben and Huntelaar, asking about Huang Kaiwen.
For Dutch players to make it into the National Team, they had to fight through countless talents to break through.
The proud players all wanted to play with Huang Kaiwen; it’s clear from this the level of Huang Kaiwen’s prowess.
Standing at the corner flag, Huang Kaiwen raised his right hand, lifting a finger.
This gesture made Lazio very nervous.
Although Huang Kaiwen just told them he’s going to pass to Nesta, who knows if Huang Kaiwen would make a tactical corner kick?
Huang Kaiwen’s tactical corner kicks have a considerably high success rate.
Under such circumstances, Lazio players dare not fully focus on the goal area; they have to keep some attention on roaming AC Milan players outside the penalty area.
Muslera’s hands were slightly trembling.
He didn’t know if Huang Kaiwen would aim directly at the goal with the corner kick.
Just the corner kick alone, Huang Kaiwen has three ways to score, which is a huge challenge to a goalkeeper’s judgment.
Although from this angle, it was difficult for Huang Kaiwen to muster enough power to harm him.
But Muslera didn’t want to perform too poorly in this corner attack.
He stared intently at Huang Kaiwen by the corner flag, hoping to make the first judgment whether it’s a direct corner or aiming straight at the goal, or maybe a tactical corner kick.
Huang Kaiwen ran up and scooped his right foot under the ball.
Bang—
The ball, spinning vigorously, flew close to the sideline, shocking both teams’ players.
Diaz, at the near post, quickly rushed over, heading the ball out of the baseline before Nesta.
"Well done!"
Muslera clapped and shouted excitedly.
This time he completely misjudged, but the teammates performed remarkably well.
This clearance gave him significant confidence.
Huang Kaiwen received the ball again from the ball boy, seeing Nesta standing in the penalty area, finally flashing a smile.
The defense was too tight during the previous corner kick.
Although he wanted to pass to Nesta, the opportunity wasn’t ideal.
Thus, Huang Kaiwen wanted to see if he could directly deliver to the front of the goal; passes close to the goal line are hard for goalkeepers to deal with, and if players touch it, it’s easy to score.
With so many people, it couldn’t get through.
But after just one try, Lazio’s defense was noticeably less stringent.
This gave Huang Kaiwen hope for scoring.
Huang Kaiwen took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, stepping forward with his left foot, planting it on the side rear of the ball, and scooping out with his right foot.
The force was so strong it scraped a piece of turf off.
Players from both teams surged towards the goal line as if hearing the starter’s pistol.
Standing in the penalty area, Nesta noticed the ball’s rotation was swift, he felt the ball descended later than expected.
This moment left him no time to think carefully, only relying on instinct.
Nesta dashed towards the right side of the goal as the ball began to descend.
Seeing the ball positioned perfectly in the weak spot of Lazio’s defense, Nesta’s heart filled with joy, his left arm exerting force against Biava while lowering his center of gravity, suddenly extending his right foot, thrusting it fiercely at the back of the ball. Muslera couldn’t arrive in time, and it was too late when he realized, as his focus was on the near post and when Nesta shot he barely took a step, the ball quickly navigated into the goal beside him.
