After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!-Chapter 1723 - 468: This Is Not the Usual Kevin

"I think this is an accident."

Crudeli said in the live broadcast room.

"Kevin blocked this ball. He probably didn’t expect it to be passed like that. After all, the ball rebounded off Materazzi, which was something no one could predict."

"It’s rare to see Kevin interfere with a teammate. I can hardly think of such a situation, so it’s a coincidence today."

"Ibrahimović went over to comfort Kevin, telling him not to mind. Obviously, he also understands that Kevin didn’t do it on purpose."

"Last season, I saw Ibrahimović and Torres argue over passing issues, but such problems don’t happen in the current Milan. We are a united team, everyone surrounds Kevin closely, and we AC Milan are invincible!"

Huang Kaiwen walked back with his head down.

Isn’t this the curse of the King of Chu?

There are many top strikers who don’t shine in major tournaments, and even some top forwards can’t be relied upon at key moments.

But Lukaku is definitely the most extraordinary one.

With a strong physique, he liked to drift wide and avoid confrontation while playing for Manchester United, scoring many goals in Serie A but not many against strong teams.

When everyone thought he couldn’t make it, he scored a crucial goal.

But in the most critical finals and knockout stages, he inexplicably wasted opportunities and even managed to help clear the ball for the opponent.

There’s no more enigmatic striker than him.

Huang Kaiwen wondered if only Capello could handle Lukaku well, as mystery would yield only to greater mystery!

"Don’t worry, Kevin, I’ll pass to you in a bit."

Ibrahimović said, wrapping his arm around Huang Kaiwen’s shoulder, "Don’t feel any psychological pressure, if I want to score, I can do that anytime."

Huang Kaiwen:...

Though he appreciates Ibrahimović’s gesture.

But this guy is quite boastful, indeed.

When Ibrahimović was young, he too was a softy in major tournaments.

Huang Kaiwen thought, perhaps it’s better for him to pass to Ibrahimović instead.

"Watch the defense!"

Sannetti shouted from the defense.

Even as they prepared for a kick-off, he dared not be careless.

Huang Kaiwen’s goals always come consecutively; he might score again soon.

He didn’t want to say more about today’s tactics, but just do his duty on the pitch.

Inter Milan restarted play, and Milito immediately passed back.

Sneijder took the ball, shifted it with his right foot, and quickly spread it to the left wing.

Though nearing thirty, Eto’o’s breakthroughs on the left flank remained sharp.

Back in the Dream Team II days, he and Ronaldo took turns attacking down the left, showing Europe’s elite clubs what terror truly was.

"Press up, don’t wait!!!"

Seeing Kaka bypassed, Guardiola anxiously shouted from the sidelines.

Ambrosini and Ramos exchanged a glance and charged towards Eto’o simultaneously.

Eto’o quickly passed back.

Sneijder, who was receiving the ball on the flank, was already met by Kaka’s rush before he could adjust.

"To me."

Hearing Stanković’s call, Sneijder turned and shielded Kaka, passing back.

Stanković rapidly made a horizontal pass to Joey Obi, who smoothly switched the ball to the right wing.

Sannetti, dribbling, quickly broke forward.

Whether with five or three defenders, the two wingbacks are critical components.

Especially with Eto’o favoring the left, Sannetti had to assume the responsibility of pushing down the right, a heavy task for a 37-year-old.

Dribbling the ball, Sannetti continuously paid attention to Huang Kaiwen’s location.

Afraid of Huang Kaiwen’s pressure and counter-attack, Sannetti quickly made another horizontal pass upon seeing him nearby, and immediately sprinted forward.

Sneijder received the pass swiftly and returned it to Sannetti, their one-two pass bypassing Huang Kaiwen.

Yet, Sannetti’s troubles were far from over.

Gattuso charged up and stuck close to him near the halfway line.

Aware of the danger, Sannetti found no chance to pass with Huang Kaiwen having caught up.

Huang Kaiwen waited for his moment.

Engaging Gattuso closely—any assistance could just restrict Gattuso.

With low centers of gravity, Sannetti and Gattuso tangled both at feet and hands, resembling a wrestling match more than football.

"Boo!"

"Boo!"

"Boo!"

The nearby Inter Milan fans jeered.

Yet, this didn’t provide any help to their captain.

Just as Joey Obi approached to support, Huang Kaiwen astutely blocked Sannetti’s passing lane.

Forced to retract his foot rather than pass, Sannetti saw Gattuso seize the moment to poke the ball away.

With his height and reach, Huang Kaiwen hooked the ball back, saving it near the sideline.

Joey Obi remained close, attempting to box out Huang Kaiwen, who unexpectedly stepped forward with his left foot and spun around, successfully outsmarting him.

"Brilliant! That Cruyff turn straight through the legs, I don’t even know how Huang Kaiwen figured Obi’s legs would be open; it’s like he has eyes on the back!"

"That move was indeed splendid; Huang Kaiwen’s technique is impeccable, the previous block of Ibrahimović’s sure-goal was purely an accident."

This time, Inter Milan sought to attack with an advanced formation.

After passing Joey Obi, there were no defenders on the entire left flank.

The reaction from Meazza showed just how dire the situation was. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Only Milan fans continued cheering from the stands.

With the ball at his feet, Huang Kaiwen appeared not to be dribbling but handling a precious piece of art, each step forward instilling panic in the Inter Milan fans while they fixed their eyes on him.

Speed was one aspect.

The greater issue was the threat posed.
