After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!-Chapter 1724 - 468: This Is Not the Usual Kevin

Materazzi was well aware of this, so he didn’t dare to stay in the penalty area.

When charging towards Huang Kaiwen, he made sure to be prepared, fearing that Huang Kaiwen would directly bypass him, so Materazzi intentionally leaned towards the middle.

Pa—

Huang Kaiwen suddenly made a feint, raising his right foot to make a semi-circle on the ball.

Before Materazzi could react, Huang Kaiwen, who had stepped on a bicycle kick, nudged the ball forward with his right foot.

Ibrahimovic, who was standing at the top of the arc, received the ball and immediately sidestepped it to the left.

With Sannetti and Materazzi absent, there was no one defending this side. Huang Kaiwen took a left-footed swipe and slid into the penalty area, with Cordoba hurriedly coming over to defend him.

The situation was already quite dangerous.

Only Lucio and Zivo were left around Ibrahimovic and Kaka.

When three defenders encounter three top attacking players, it makes little difference even if the defender is of Nesta’s caliber at his peak.

Cesar was already prepared.

"Cesar stands near the left post specifically to guard against Huang Kaiwen’s sharp angle...Passed! Wow, Huang Kaiwen suddenly makes a reverse pass at the baseline."

"Ibrahimovic didn’t shoot directly either. Holding off Lucio, what’s he planning to do, passes again, Huang Kaiwen! Ah, Huang Kaiwen’s shot went wide."

Huang Kaiwen looked speechlessly at Ibrahimovic.

Why pass when you had an open goal; you just needed to bypass Lucio to shoot.

This sudden pass even Cesar couldn’t anticipate, nor could Huang Kaiwen.

The pass came to him both concealed and quick, Huang Kaiwen hastily exerted too much force without control.

Buffon’s position was advanced slightly to facilitate Guardiola’s tactical passing.

Seeing Huang Kaiwen with the ball, Buffon didn’t dare to rush into the opponent’s half, but he was prepared to celebrate with a pump of his arm.

When he saw Huang Kaiwen miss, Buffon was so startled he fell onto the field.

Guardiola held his head in disbelief.

Today’s Huang Kaiwen was definitely not the usual Huang Kaiwen.

Although his coaching duration was short, he had watched many of Huang Kaiwen’s games.

Such consecutive mistakes were almost unheard of in Huang Kaiwen’s matches.

Even the first goal had been very sudden.

"Pep, make a substitution."

Clemente reminded.

"Ah, a substitution."

Only then did Guardiola notice Buffon had fallen on the field.

His expression was unpleasant.

Could it be starting again?

This time even Buffon was affected.

Thinking about Huang Kaiwen’s anomaly, it seemed as if they were cursed.

Guardiola slapped his forehead hard.

He finally understood!

This was to say, today Huang Kaiwen was to be seriously injured, so the usual charms and Inzaghi were not enough; both Huang Kaiwen and Buffon also bore part of it.

In the last time Huang Kaiwen was slightly injured, Seedorf had pulled a muscle.

After today’s match, combined with past experience, Guardiola thought he could predict Huang Kaiwen’s injury, how severe it would be, and how much it would cost to prevent it.

AC Milan’s medical team carried Buffon to the sidelines, and Abbiati stood by the fourth official, awaiting to enter the field.

"Get in there."

The fourth official reminded.

Abbiati rushed onto the field.

Without much time for warm-up, he had to warm up on the field.

Otherwise, diving directly for the opponent’s shots would easily lead to injury.

Guardiola met the medical team’s stretcher, grabbing Buffon’s hand, saying: "Gigi, rest assured as you heal, the team and I won’t forget your contributions."

Buffon felt a chill as he looked into Guardiola’s eyes.

Since transferring to AC Milan, his performance hadn’t matched his Juventus days, and some newspapers had labeled him as declining.

And now, he got injured before having a chance to showcase his skills today.

Buffon recalled a rumor, well, it’s not quite a rumor.

When young, Guardiola was handsome; it was similar with Guti, and the Italian newspapers had speculated about his inclinations.

Buffon quickly withdrew his hand, forcing a smile, saying: "Coach, I’ll recover well, don’t worry."

Buffon resolved to avoid unnecessary contact with Guardiola privately.

Guardiola nodded, letting the medical team take Buffon away.

The match had restarted, but Guardiola’s mind wasn’t on the game.

Inzaghi’s exuberant luck and a gold bar weren’t enough.

Even a top keeper like Buffon got injured, and Huang Kaiwen himself seemed cursed.

Guardiola figured it was due to Huang Kaiwen’s immense talent.

Just like the energy produced by a nuclear bomb compared to TNT, though both Huang Kaiwen and other players are human, his talent far exceeded that of ordinary players.

So, to ensure he doesn’t get injured, a greater price must be paid.

Guardiola suddenly realized why Mourinho frequently got injured before.

Jose, so you used yourself as the cost!

The match on the field was extremely tense.

In the live room, Crudeli was deeply concerned.

He anxiously said: "It seems Kevin hasn’t fully recovered. Guardiola must have concealed Kevin’s injury to let him play in this derby, which is quite irresponsible. Also, why is Rakitic, a midfielder, playing as a defender? I haven’t heard of such a shortage on the defensive line. This Catalonian coach seems to always want to make some changes on the field."

Rakitic was directly broken through by Eto’o, and Thiago Silva hurried over to cover.

Thiago Silva was tense to every nerve, running alongside Eto’o down the field, fearing an abrupt stop would let Eto’o shed him and pass the ball.
