After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!

”Ah ah ah ah ah!!!”

Inzaghi spread his arms and ran like mad.

A cathartic roar came from his mouth.

He dashed towards the south stand at San Siro, glancing at the Juventus bench.

On the Juventus bench,

the Old Golden Boy Piero smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The two of them could never go back to the days when they played with cameras in the locker room together.

It was ultimately a parting of ways; no more comrades in the world of soccer.

The devil’s dream flutters like a butterfly; you are both my blessing and my bane.

Sometimes, a casual, thoughtless word can turn people into strangers forever.

”Hahaha, Inzaghi, oh Inzaghi.”

”You really don’t hide your emotions at all.”

”The love and hate between Inzaghi and Piero, that’s ancient history.”

Zhang chuckled and said, ”After Inzaghi transferred to Juventus in 1997, he got along quite well with Piero, after all, both were Italian forwards.”

”It must have been in the 1999-2000 season. Piero, coming back from injury, wasn’t in great form and relied on penalty goals. During that time, Piero was anxious, and Inzaghi also felt the pressure of Trezeguet’s rise. The match against Venice that I commentated—Inzaghi had a chance to score alone in the large penalty box on the right but decided not to pass to Piero in the center. Instead, he took the shot, which the goalkeeper blocked, but Inzaghi scored from the rebound. Because of that incident, a rift erupted between them. At the time, there were even rumors that the two had come to blows in the locker room, but whether that was true or not, I don’t know.”

”Yeah, I remember that match,” Huang Jianxiang nodded and said: ”After Inzaghi scored, he celebrated under the stands, while Piero walked back from the penalty area with no expression.”

”That’s about right. After the match, Piero complained to the journalists, and the conflict between the two became completely public, plus with Trezeguet’s progress, eventually, Inzaghi was sent to AC Milan.”

”The transfer fee of 41 million Euros was quite large. This transfer was a win-win-win situation: Juventus got the money, AC Milan acquired an excellent striker, and Inzaghi won quite a few honors at AC Milan.”

”Judging from Inzaghi’s reaction, it seems he doesn’t quite see it that way.”

”Let’s stick to the match. Juventus needs to be careful with Huang Kaiwen. Just now, Huang Kaiwen’s cross from the left easily found Toni, and Toni’s header-assist led to Inzaghi’s goal.”

”What could they do? Cannavaro’s height competing with Toni’s header—isn’t that a joke?”

In front of the Juventus penalty area,

Cannavaro put his hands on his hips and turned to ask Thuram, ”Should we switch?”

”Then you mark him?”

Thuram pointed at Huang Kaiwen.

”Okay!” Cannavaro gritted his teeth and nodded.

Both sides were tough to play today.

Huang Kaiwen and Kaka preferred to cooperate on their right flank.

After all, Huang Kaiwen is a left winger.

Any defender would feel the pressure facing such a combination.

But Luca Toni is nearly 20 centimeters taller than he is.

The two standing next to each other looked like an adult and a child; Cannavaro really struggled.

Even if he went to mark Huang Kaiwen, he wouldn’t want to compete for headers with Toni.

Juventus restarted the game in their half.

Ibrahimovic passed the ball back.

Emerson immediately passed it to Vieira.

The former Arsenal captain had only joined Juventus that summer.

And it was this transfer that started the era of Arsenal’s revolving captaincy.

Turn by turn as captain, next year it will be at my house.

In 16 years, they let go of nine captains, a record in football.

At his peak, Vieira was excellent in both offense and defense, with the ability to push forward.

The combination of strength and technique was outstanding.

He bumped Kaka off with his body while dribbling forward.

After crossing the midfield line, he chipped the ball towards the left.

Nedved once again flicks it behind Stam.

Aiming to exploit his slower turn.

Stam turned and threw his arms back in pursuit.

He reached the ball just before the goal-line, while Nedved stopped abruptly.

The tall Stam, carried by his momentum, whizzed past him.

Nedved twisted and delivered a cross into the penalty area.

Nesta and Trezeguet, who both started their run, were tussling and neither jumped.

Instead, in the middle, Ibrahimovic, with his arms outstretched, blocked Maldini behind him and chested the ball down.

Then, turning, he unleashed a volley; the ball shot towards the top-left corner of the goal.

In the critical moment, Dida reacted swiftly.

He dove sideways to deflect the ball out of play.

”Another corner for Juventus.”

”Maldini and Ibrahimovic had a clash, Nesta went to intervene and got a warning from the referee.”

”Today, Ibrahimovic has locked horns with Maldini.”

”Let’s see this corner. Nedved sends it to the middle, which Maldini heads out again.”

”Nedved runs to the other corner flag to take the corner.”

”The Czech Ironman has an incredible stamina. There were even rumors that Nedved’s knees were different from normal people’s, which is why he could run so much.”

”Haha, that has been proven to be fake news.”

Nedved quickly took the corner kick.

Kaladze at the near post cleared the ball out of the area.

Pirlo received the ball, turned, and made a long pass.

Smack—

The ball flew precisely toward the middle of the front field.

The in-form Kaka didn’t slow down as he moved and ran.

He deftly touched the ball forward, then chased after it again.

As Vieira slid to tackle,

Kaka was already past stopping, flicking the ball out wide.

He himself was taken down by Vieira.

Seeing that Huang Kaiwen had the ball,

the main referee, with the whistle already in his mouth, didn’t blow it, adhering to the advantage play rule.

[Platini] had an excellent feel for the game.

Kaka’s hasty pass was poor in quality.

Huang Kaiwen still managed to control it easily with a lift of his foot.

Then, with his right foot, he passed the ball in front of Camoranesi.

Camoranesi didn’t even stretch out his foot.

He turned his back and began retreating.

Determined to stay close, not to intercept.

Waiting for Huang Kaiwen to get the ball with his left foot and burst forward along the sideline.
