In the stands.
Bernabéu Stadium had raised a banner.
It was a photo of Huang Kaiwen celebrating in the corner area after Real Madrid won by a large score last season.
They preferred stepping over Barcelona even more than winning the Champions League final against Manchester United.
Although it was somewhat unexpected that Huang Kaiwen was warming up with gloves today, the Meringues still believed that he would be the key man.
Cassano, who wasn’t in the starting lineup, put a bit more power into his shot during the warm-up, but Huang Kaiwen cleanly intercepted it with a flying dive.
Guti tried a free kick which was also parried over the crossbar by Huang Kai with a single palm.
"Saint Kevin!!!"
"Saint Kevin!!!"
"Saint Kevin!!!"
The Meringues were very excited; they, too, wanted to see Huang Kaiwen keep a clean sheet today. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
At the end of the match, the look of dejection on the faces of their opponents, especially that arrogant coach, made them feel even more exhilarated.
Ikita was a goalkeeper with very clear strengths and weaknesses.
His reaction speed and flexibility were outstanding, and his dribbling, ball sense, and set-piece skills were better than most goalkeepers; and in some matches, he shone as well.
However, in terms of the overall goalkeeping ability expected of a goalkeeper, he was far from top-tier, although he was very decisive in rushing out of the penalty area to clear the ball, to the extent that even Neuer would have to call him master.
Fortunately, the Yellow Ball King had enough talent.
With his excellent dynamic vision and top-notch hand-eye coordination combined with rapid reflexes, he could compensate for Ikita’s shortcomings.
Ikita’s set-piece skills were inferior to Kiravit’s, another goalkeeper, but the Yellow Ball King could still bridge these gaps with his talent.
Rounded off to no shortcomings.
Returning to the player tunnel with his teammates.
Huang Kaiwen was still pondering whether or not to go on the offensive often.
"Hey, Kevin, I heard you’re coming to Chelsea?"
Huang Kaiwen just nodded and saw Ashley Cole with a smile on his face.
"You heard wrong,"
Huang Kaiwen said, shaking his head.
Thinking that he didn’t even know the guy.
"That’s a pity, I once saw you going out with Inzaghi, and I thought we’d get along well,"
Ashley Cole said, shaking his head.
Huang Kaiwen: ...
Since you’re married, stop flirting around.
So many people around the world envy Ashley Cole, yet he just doesn’t feel it; that’s truly not knowing the beauty of his wife.
"Huang Kaiwen seems to get along well with Chelsea players; it looks like the rumors between him and Chelsea are not unfounded."
"Yes, but let’s first look at the starting lineups of both sides."
Real Madrid 433 dual defensive midfielders:
Goalkeeper: Huang Kaiwen,
Defenders: Heinze, Pepe, Ramos, Miguel Torres,
Midfielders: Gago, Guti, De Jong,
Forwards: Sneijder, Raul, Robben.
Chelsea 4321 dual wide midfielders:
Goalkeeper: Cudicini,
Defenders: Ashley Cole, Ricardo Carvalho, Terry, Paulo Ferreira,
Midfielders: Lampard, Ballack, Makélélé, Essien, Joe Cole,
Forwards: Drogba.
"Neither side has their first-choice goalkeeper today; Huang Kaiwen is playing in place of the injured Casillas, but Huang Kaiwen’s goalkeeping ability is still dependable."
"Yes, last season Cech was seriously injured in a match against Reading and returned to the pitch in just three months, but despite his outstanding performance this season, he still couldn’t escape injury troubles, it being his second injury this season.
Carlo Cudicini is the son of the Italian legend Fabio Cudicini, a veteran from Milan, and he grew up in the AC Milan Youth Camp.
But because of the immense pressure from his father, he chose to leave AC Milan, and later he simply went far away to England; having an outstanding father indeed puts a lot of pressure on a child."
"Indeed, I heard that Zidane’s son uses his mother’s surname in the Real Madrid youth camp. But more than other things, I am more concerned with Chelsea’s formation today, Zhang, you see this is a triple defensive midfield, right?"
"It should be, Ballack, Makélélé, and Essien are the defensive midfielders, with Lampard and Joe Cole on the wings, but they can also move to the center. It’s a flexible formation, but I feel, hehe, these three midfielders are set up to counter Huang Kaiwen, but today Huang Kaiwen is playing as a goalkeeper!"
"Mourinho is using the triple defensive midfield formation for the first time, too bad he’s got the wrong man. The match between Real Madrid and Chelsea hasn’t started yet, and the tactical setups by the managers have already got me fired up; no matter the score today, the game is bound to be thrilling."
6:45 PM in Madrid, the main referee, Klaus Berglund, blew the whistle to start the match.
Raul immediately passed the ball sideways at kickoff, reflexively aiming for the left flank only to realize Sneijder was there.
Sneijder took the ball and immediately pushed forward himself, wanting to show his skills.
Joe Cole made a symbolic tackle, but was outpaced by Sneijder speeding with the ball.
Essien quickly jumped at Sneijder, with Ferreira also pressing from behind.
Sneijder looked up, quickly curved the ball with his left foot from the left to the far right front.
The ball swiftly shifted from the left to the right of the pitch, with Robben suddenly sprinting past Ashley Cole to successfully receive the pass.
Facing his former teammate, Robben’s performance remained stable; reaching the edge of the penalty box, he subtly shifted his shoulders to feint Carvalho off-balance, and immediately flicked the ball into the box with the outside of his foot.
Before Carvalho could press him, he had already swept his left foot beneath the ball.
Thwack—
The ball soared high, flying past the stands.
"Ah, that shot was quite outrageous."
