After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!-Chapter 786 - 0286 There is only one truth (please subscribe)_3
Ferreira hastily made a direct pass forward, sending the ball behind Gago.
Ever since his disastrous performance at the European Cup in 2004, he had been under scrutiny and had developed a habit of not easily crossing the halfway line since then.
Joe Cole received the ball and quickly twisted his body, his right foot sending the ball powerfully towards the left flank of the front field.
The ball cut diagonally across half the field, heading straight for the back of Real Madrid’s defense.
"Don’t be afraid, let’s hold steady!"
Ramos shouted.
In front of the goal, only he and Pepe remained, as both full-backs had joined the attack.
This was absolutely not the time to get disorganized; otherwise, it would cause more trouble for Kevin.
Pepe and Ramos split up to act, Ramos clenched his teeth and charged towards the ball.
But Lampard was closer, and the moment the ball fell, Lampard stretched his leg and nudged the ball forward, speeding past Ramos towards the Real Madrid penalty area.
"Go cover the zone!"
Huang Kaiwen shouted loudly, then rushed out of the penalty area from the top corner.
Ramos didn’t know how this coverage was useful; without the goalkeeper, it was almost an open goal, but out of trust for Huang Kaiwen, he still ran towards the middle of the penalty area.
Lampard, not yet fully accustomed to Huang Kaiwen’s playing style, had nudged the ball slightly too far forward during his previous move.
This gave Huang Kaiwen the opportunity.
Huang Kaiwen, who had dashed out of the penalty area, got to the ball first.
Huang Kaiwen stepped out with his left foot for support, and with a flick of his right foot from the side, he angled the ball from in front of Lampard towards the right flank.
He slightly twisted his body and accelerated past in front of Lampard.
Lampard failed to touch either the ball or the man.
He turned to chase, but he was still too far behind.
Knowing he couldn’t catch up, Lampard chose to jog back, conserving his energy.
There was still a long time left in the match; not to contest this one.
"Press him, damn it, go press him! Tackle, tackle the ball!!!"
Mourinho waved his hands from the sidelines, urging on.
Although Ashley Cole had already rushed forward, his shouting couldn’t make Cole run any faster, but Mourinho, anxious, couldn’t help himself.
As a coach who greatly admired Huang Kaiwen’s abilities, he thought about using a 10-0-1 tactic.
Mourinho understood very well how dangerous Huang Kaiwen could be.
He had no doubt that given a slight chance, Huang Kaiwen could dribble from the goal line, pass multiple players, and finally breach Chelsea’s goal.
Both players sprinted towards each other on the same flank, the distance between them visibly shrinking.
Ashley Cole was almost in front of him; Huang Kaiwen immediately pretended to swing his right foot.
This feint successfully fooled Ashley Cole into slowing down; though Cole didn’t stretch his foot, it was enough. In the moment Ashley Cole slowed and couldn’t adjust, Huang Kaiwen swung his right foot again, truly curling it behind the ball.
Smack—
The ball nearly grazed the turf as it passed between Ashley Cole and the sideline, bouncing off the ground towards Torres after crossing the midfield.
Torres turned around, preparing to pass it to Robben.
Today Robben was very active, but seeing Carvalho’s positioning, he had to give up and passed horizontally with his right foot to the overlapping Guti.
Guti advanced with the ball, facing Makélélé for the first time.
This time he did not receive the ball with his back to goal, having prepared in advance. As Makélélé stepped up to press, Guti immediately twisted his body, his left foot tipping the back of the ball.
Smack—
The ball, carrying a slight arc, dodged Makélélé’s foot and found Raul just outside the penalty area.
Raul, with his back to the goal, extended his right foot to cushion the ball while turning, right foot slightly powering, allowing the ball to stop on the penalty box line.
And his right foot had already stepped into the penalty area, his left foot perfectly nudging the ball into the box.
Terry, preparing to intercept, quickly adjusted his stance and rushed to Raul’s front right to be cautiously ready, preparing to block Raul’s shot at the first opportunity.
Carvalho also left Robben behind and charged towards Raul.
As for Robben, he was left to the chasing teammates; the player with the ball was the most dangerous.
It had been a long time since Raul enjoyed such treatment, with Huang Kaiwen drawing too much defensive attention upfront.
Without time for more thought, Raul had already made a decision.
He neither dribbled nor took a shot; he twisted his body to face the right, and with his left foot, he lobbed a pass.
The ball reached its target almost in the blink of an eye, striking right against Robben’s shin.
Robben reacted swiftly, stepping back to unload the force; the ball obediently dropped at his feet.
Carvalho was once again in front of Robben, lowering his center of gravity, ready to kick at any moment.
Robben suddenly accelerated, pushing the ball diagonally with his left foot; although Carvalho quickly reacted and started as well, he was still half a step slower, that tiny time difference allowed Robben the chance to shoot.
Twisting his body, Robben swung his left foot hard underneath the ball; Carvalho stretched his right foot to block but was still a step too slow; the ball curved sharply into the top left corner of the goal.
"Aryang!"
"Aryang!"
"Aryang!"
Real Madrid fans excitedly chanted the goal scorer’s name.
"That shot from Robben was truly beautiful."
"Yes, it’s practically unblockable, almost hitting the dead angle. Actually, the ball was aimed for the dead angle, but there was a slight dip before it entered the goal. Horizontal arc, vertical drop, such a ball is really hard to save, hehe."
"After several attempts since the beginning, Robben finally found his rhythm; if he had wasted more chances, Capello might have substituted him."
"Raul’s assist was not bad either, a sudden stop and turn to deliver the assist. This quick counterattack by Real Madrid, starting from Huang Kaiwen leaving the penalty area to thwart a breakaway and passing the ball, through four passes, the whole process was very smooth, fast, smack, smack, smack, a few passes and it was already in the penalty area."
