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

”Kevin, you made quite an entrance,”

said Kaka, approaching with a smile.

He stared at Huang Kaiwen’s mask and couldn’t help but find it appealing.

”Haha, it’s not bad,”

replied Huang Kaiwen with a laugh.

It was indeed strange to suddenly wear a mask.

Even if it was due to an injury, it still seemed abrupt.

Hence, Huang Kaiwen decided to make a grand entrance.

Embodying Zorro had a romantic flair to it.

The two chatted and laughed as they walked back to the midfield.

All their teammates gathered around.

No matter how old a man is, there’s always a hero dream in his heart.

Who could resist the chance to be Zorro?

”It’s so cool, but it would’ve been even cooler if you could replace Filippo with a real horse,”

Gattuso said enviously.

”Maybe next time there’ll be an opportunity,”

responded Huang Kaiwen with a smile.

He had indeed thought about riding a real horse.

But Huang Kaiwen didn’t know how to ride.

Riding a horse wasn’t as easy as it looked on TV.

Though he had used the [Injury Immunity Card], he wasn’t afraid of getting injured.

But if he didn’t ride well and was dragged by the horse, he would lose face.

If things got out of control, someone else could get hurt.

That’s why Huang Kaiwen chose Inzaghi.

If he ever got the [Expert Horse Riding Card], he would find an opportunity to show off.

”Alright, time to warm up,”

Maldini motioned to his teammates and then said with a resigned look, ”Chris probably wants me to buy him a pony when I get home. You are really good at causing trouble.”

”Or maybe you can just break his leg first?”

Huang Kaiwen said, blinking.

”Off you go!”

Maldini waved him off with a hint of annoyance.

As Huang Kaiwen prepared to warm up, he drew a card with his full 100 [Expectation Points].

[Ding, you’ve obtained the 2017-18 Premier League Round 16, Tottenham Hotspur vs Stoke City, Son Heung-min single game experience card]

Wow, Brother Son!

Son Heung-smart.

This card is really professionally tailored to him.

Huang Kaiwen suspected that he got the Son card just because he was wearing a mask.

Son himself had worn a mask due to an injury.

In terms of ability, Son Heung-min at his peak had the talent to be a main player in a top club.

It’s just that sometimes his performance can be a bit unstable.

He also lags a little in terms of fine skills.

His ball sense also doesn’t match up to Brazil’s top players like Neymar.

In other aspects, [Son Heung-min] has no real weakness.

Son Heung-min has a firm control of the ball at his feet, good speed, and the ability to shoot while running.

He just needs some space.

[Son Heung-min] is very strong on counter-attacks.

Huang Kaiwen suspected that he and Kaka together could break down Arsenal’s defense today.

Arsenal’s counter-attack is also fast.

It would be a good test to compete with Arsenal’s counter-attack speed.

After warming up, they returned to the players’ tunnel.

The atmosphere between the players from both sides was quite friendly.

All being technically skilled players, there had been no unpleasantness in the last match.

Huang Kaiwen greeted Henry.

Kaka and Fabregas were also chatting quietly.

Players on both sides were catching up with familiar opponents.

”The players follow the referee onto the field.”

”Wow, look at those stands, AC Milan fans haven’t skimped on their preparations, with a display showing the AC Milan team name and the seven Champions League Trophies; clearly, they are ambitious, hoping their team can successfully defend the title and become the first team to win back-to-back UEFA Champions League titles since the restructure,”

”The banners display last season’s AC Milan Champions League victory celebration, which indeed captures the fans’ expectations,”

”Hehe, AC Milan certainly has the strength. Huang Kaiwen is in top form, and Kaka is at his peak. As long as they don’t have a major injury crisis, they really aren’t afraid of any team,”

”That’s right, the return of the players is a positive sign. Arsenal will see a completely different defense than in the first leg, and they’ll definitely need to retest the playing habits of AC Milan’s defenders when attacking,”

”Moreover, with a 3:3 result from the first leg, AC Milan has three away goals, putting them under no pressure at all,”

”Haha, Ancelotti has switched up the formation today from a 442 to a 4231, which also shows his strategy. With the score tied, you have to attack, and I’m just waiting to counter-attack, otherwise, you’ll be eliminated due to away goals,”

”Okay, let’s take a look at the starting line-ups for both teams.”

AC Milan’s 4231 with double pivots:

Goalkeeper: Dida,

Defenders: Kaladze, Maldini, Nesta, Stam,

Midfielders: Huang Kaiwen, Pirlo, Kaka, Ambrosini, Gattuso,

Striker: Toni.

Arsenal’s 4231 with double central midfielders:

Goalkeeper: Lehmann,

Defenders: Ashley Cole, Senderos, Kolo Toure, Eboue,

Midfielders: Pires, Gilberto Silva, Hleb, Fabregas, Ljungberg,

Striker: Henry.

Maldini won the coin toss and chose the field first.

Arsenal kicked off the game.

After Henry passed the ball back, Hleb dodged Toni with a touch and sent a through pass trying to reach Henry.

Kaka instinctively stuck out a foot and intercepted the ball, causing Arsenal to lose possession right at the start.

Not willing to let the ball go so easily, Hleb pressed hard, with his hands showing intent.

Kaka, being pulled, managed to pass the ball back to Huang Kaiwen.

Huang Kaiwen turned to chase the ball and secure it just as Ljungberg poked from behind, and the ball slipped away from Huang Kaiwen’s control again.

Huang Kaiwen and Ljungberg both surged forward.

Reaching the ball,

Huang Kaiwen didn’t dare to stop and control it, instead, he immediately back-passed it.

Having just kicked it, Huang Kaiwen had a feeling that the pass was too strong.

It might reach the penalty box.

But the situation was worse than he had thought.

The ball rolled into the penalty area, following an arc right from the edge of the large box.

Although Henry was in an offside position,

it was a back pass from the opponent, so there was no offside to contest.
