After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!-Chapter 824 - 0295 High-Quality Human Team (Request for Subscription)

"Damn it, did you think about him?"

"You bastard, don’t think you can escape punishment."

Barca players blocked the sidelines, preventing Robben from leaving the field.

Real Madrid players stood in front of Robben, forming another standoff.

The Meringue fans in the nearby stands were cheering for Real Madrid players, hoping a fight would break out.

Having experienced this many times, they were quite used to it and even liked this kind of scene.

No matter which team they fought against, Real Madrid never suffered a loss.

"What are you doing, don’t you want to play?"

Referee Burler squeezed between the two sides and said seriously.

He was already cursing inside.

If he didn’t want to take the blame, he had to handle this well.

Both coaching teams and substitute players were persuading from the sidelines. Seeing that a fight might not happen, Burler directly blew the whistle, asking both sides to quickly return to the locker rooms.

"Hehe, Real Madrid matches are always this intense. The young lads of Real Madrid play with such passion, even the team’s big brother Raul got injured several times while stepping in to mediate."

"Indeed, although Real Madrid gets into fights often, it’s usually because the opponents foul Huang Kaiwen. Fans watching at home should remember Baggio; if Baggio had teammates like this, his career would have been much smoother."

"Right, whenever Real Madrid clashes with opponents, it’s due to the opponents’ malicious fouls. This reminds me of the 1990 Manchester United vs. Arsenal English League One match; it was a rough game, with 11 players hospitalized. I remember commentator Wang Taixing describing the scene as very intense."

"Exactly, Winterburn’s retaliatory foul sparked the conflict; malicious fouls on the field easily ignite the opponents’ emotions. Xavi fouled Huang Kaiwen a few times from behind today, so he was sent off early. Hope both teams can calm down after returning to the locker rooms."

The teams entered the tunnel at staggered times, avoiding an encounter.

Back in the locker room.

Robben was already sitting there.

"Your performance was fine today. Unless something unexpected happens, you’ll start in the UEFA Champions League final."

Capello said as he entered the locker room.

Sneijder touched his hair.

Damn it, I got careless!

Unexpectedly, Robben became the first player confirmed to play in the Champions League final.

Should I take out the stun baton now, rush to Barca’s locker room, and beat up Xavi?

"Xavi being sent off early was too lenient for him."

Ramos said, dissatisfied.

It seems his habit of acting before the end of the game is outdated. Being loaned out for half a season, his teammates have turned the end into the middle.

Moved forward by a whole 45 minutes!

Damn it, should I just wait for Xavi in the National Team?

Oh, right, Xavi probably won’t make it to the National Team.

Ramos sighed.

"Alright, now we only have ten men; the upcoming match will be tougher."

Raul stood up and said.

"Kevin alone can cover both wings."

Guti said with a smile: "His range of activity is bigger than the defenders’."

"Alright, gentlemen!"

Capello clapped his hands and walked to the center of the locker room: "No matter what, this is a national derby, respecting your opponents also means respecting yourselves. So I need you to give your all. No substitutions at halftime. Guti, remember to make more forward runs and cooperate with Kevin and Raul. The two defensive midfielders also need to press forward more. Each of you should move more to compensate for being a man down."

"Understood, coach."

Guti nodded and said.

"Alright, take a rest then."

Capello nodded and guided, then walked out of the locker room.

"The locker room is quiet today."

Guti said.

"It’s because Antonio isn’t here." Ramos quickly replied.

"Yes!"

Guti clapped his hands and said: "That guy is very noisy when he’s here, but it’s a bit boring without him."

"That guy will probably never return to the first team in his lifetime."

Ramos pouted.

Capello was clearly quite angry this time.

The bench wasn’t even full, making the B-team players join the first team while not letting Cassano and others return.

After a 15-minute break, the players re-entered the tunnel.

Huang Kaiwen nodded with a smile.

Messi responded briefly and quickly followed his teammates to the field.

Today’s the intense emotions didn’t suit reminiscing.

Surprisingly, Guardiola replaced Xavi with Edmilson.

This Brazilian championship main defender, under Rijkaard’s leadership, became a crucial midfield balance player. Guardiola’s decision to pick him clearly favored defense.

Toure and Edmilson as a double pivot pairing was not common in Barca’s usual lineup.

The second half started, Bojan quickly passed horizontally to Henry.

Henry carried the ball past midfield and immediately made a back-pass.

With Xavi off, veteran Gudjohnsen became the midfield core. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

As a former forward, he had outstanding vision and passing ability, and his versatility was crucial.

Gudjohnsen dribbled with his left foot, waiting for Guti’s tackle, then quickly moved the ball to his right and made a swift diagonal pass to Messi.

Messi controlled the ball and spun, with Gago following closely.

Messi shifted the ball left with his right foot, with Gago moving accordingly. When Messi pulled the ball back with his right foot, Gago couldn’t keep up and fell to the ground.

The nearby Meringue fans widened their eyes.

Almost every time they faced off, Real Madrid players were tricked.

That long-haired kid was indeed impressive!

Marcelo attempted a slide tackle, evaded by Messi’s ball control.

Messi cut inside diagonally from the right wing, with Heinze pressing up and Pepe choosing to follow.

Pa—

Messi saw the middle opening and made a reverse triangle pass to the arc top of the big penalty area.
