Even when facing Messi, he didn’t dare speak too confidently; back when he was at Barça, he already felt that the kid’s footwork was too agile.

It’s truly difficult for ordinary people to keep up with Messi’s steps.

"Mark and Ivan, pay more attention to cover positions."

Guardiola said again. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Got it, Coach!"

Rakitic said.

Van Bommel also nodded.

As a former Barça player himself, he was quite familiar with the characteristics of these Barça players.

"Lars, watch your position, be ready to move to the defensive midfield at any time, and Gigi, big kicks from the goalkeeper can lead to assists more easily than short passes, especially when the opponent is pressing high."

Guardiola said.

Buffon nodded along.

The media outside didn’t have much confidence in Guardiola.

But inside the dressing room, everyone had a lot of faith in Guardiola.

The things he talked about in terms of tactics made a lot of sense, whether they could be realized or not.

So the Milan players were willing to try.

Seeing Guardiola sitting at the door resting, Ambrosini joked: "Captain, your turn."

"Nothing much to say."

Huang Kaiwen waved his hand with a smile and sang: "Wembley, Wembley, we are the Red and Black Army on the road to Wembley..."

"Glory belongs to AC Milan, glory belongs to AC Milan..."

The Barça players, with serious expressions, walked out of the dressing room, feeling awkward as they heard the Manchester United anthem coming from the away dressing room.

"Wembley, Wembley, we are the Red and Black Army, on the road to Wembley..."

The sound from the away fans’ stands had completely overwhelmed the owners of Camp Nou.

Except for today’s match score.

Huang Kaiwen’s record against Barcelona also caused a corresponding change in both sides’ mental states.

The absence of white handkerchiefs at Camp Nou was the greatest support they could give their players.

The players had returned to their respective halves to begin warming up.

Returning to the field, Messi immediately felt a bit of fatigue.

It was as if the halftime break had provided no rest at all.

This fatigue didn’t stem from his muscles, but from his blood and something deeper.

Messi, with his short hair, pursed his lips.

No matter the outcome, he wouldn’t relax during this process!

Beep,

The whistle blew.

Kaka immediately passed the ball to Torres.

Torres took the ball on the right side with his body turned, with no intention of breaking forward.

Just one goal away from advancing.

The former Atletico captain was not taking any chances.

Villa rushed up quickly.

Fully considering himself a defender.

As a child, his right leg was injured, and the doctors declared he couldn’t play soccer anymore.

Villa played with a cast, using his left foot, and eventually, his right foot miraculously healed, leading him to develop a remarkable skill to shoot with both feet.

Facing his competitor from the national team, Villa hoped to have the last laugh.

Torres immediately passed the ball back.

Ramos nudged the ball with his right foot and looked forward.

His peripheral vision had already scanned Huang Kaiwen’s position on the left.

Only Xavi.

But Ramos was slightly afraid Xavi would foul, so he didn’t pass the ball immediately.

Both Villa and Messi rushed up.

Ramos promptly delivered a diagonal pass.

Rakitic raised his right foot and deftly tapped the side of the ball with his heel, letting it roll to Van Bommel behind him.

"Wow, you can tell that the AC Milan players are still very relaxed right now."

"Yes, they are trailing in away goals, but Huang Kaiwen’s return today has indeed boosted AC Milan’s confidence; they’re completely different from their previous performance."

"Haha, as many people have said, AC Milan with or without Huang Kaiwen are like two different teams. We’re now seeing Pele, often spotting him in Huang Kaiwen’s matches. Although Huang Kaiwen didn’t score today, he assisted Kaka twice, and his dribbling was fantastic. I’m sure Pele would be pleased with Huang Kaiwen’s performance."

Milan’s midfield began to control the ball.

If not looking at the jerseys, you’d think it was Barcelona holding the ball now.

Ramos passed the ball back once more.

Sven Bender’s cross pass was a bit too much, and Lars Bender couldn’t stabilize the ball; seeing the chance, Villa hooked the ball in front of himself.

Lars Bender rushed over immediately.

But Villa didn’t hold the ball, he turned and passed it back immediately.

Messi, receiving the ball on the left side of the penalty area, took a shot, and Buffon parried it to the baseline.

"Everyone, pay attention, damn it!"

Buffon shouted as he got up.

Messi’s shot was sharp, heading toward the inside of the post.

If it weren’t for his quick reflexes, he might not have stopped it.

"Sorry, buddy!"

Sven Bender said apologetically.

He was a bit nervous, messing up the pass.

Lars grinned and waved it off.

He’s been covering for his brother since they were young, so this is no big deal.

"Everyone, be careful."

Huang Kaiwen clapped and shouted, "Sergio and Sven, make sure you keep an eye on Piqué!"

Piqué’s attacking ability shines through playing, and it’s no fluke.

Ramos made an OK gesture.

Both teams’ players were ready inside the penalty area.

Huang Kaiwen stood on the small penalty area line.

Barça was clearly anxious, even sending plenty of players forward for the set-piece, which they weren’t good at.

In this position, after judging the ball’s trajectory, he could help his teammates right away.

Bang!

Xavi struck with great power, and the ball reached the penalty area almost instantly.

Huang Kaiwen immediately ran out because the ball was too close to the baseline, given too low, and couldn’t get past Milan’s first line of defense.
