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

”It’s not very clear, but it looks incredibly high-tech, and fans around the world are very curious about what Ancelotti’s device does.”

”Anyway, we can’t guess it, so we might as well wait for the media to expose it. Let’s look at the starting lineups of both teams.”

Yellow Submarine 442 diamond midfield:

Goalkeeper: Mariano Barbosa,

Defenders: Arruabarrena, Quique Alvarez, Juan Pena, Xavi Venta,

Midfielders: Sorin, Josico, Riquelme, Marcos Senna,

Forwards: Luis Franco, Diego Fran.

Milan 442 diamond midfield:

Goalkeeper: Dida,

Defenders: Serginho, Maldini, Stam, Cafu,

Midfielders: Huang Kaiwen, Pirlo, Kaka, Gattuso,

Forwards: Inzaghi, Shevchenko.

”Compared to Villarreal, AC Milan has quite a few more injuries. Toni and Nesta are missing due to injuries, and AC Milan says their injuries aren’t serious, it’s just to ensure they don’t miss the World Cup, so they’re making sure they are completely healed before returning.”

”Yes, this approach is rather prudent, the World Cup happens once every four years, especially since Nesta and Toni aren’t young anymore. They’ll both be in their thirties by the next tournament, there could be many variables.”

”Speaking of the World Cup, today’s opponent for Huang Kaiwen, like Deco, is a Brazilian player, Senna. Deco, unable to make it into the Brazilian Team, opted for Portuguese nationality, while Senna joined Spain, he got selected for the national team as soon as he gained Spanish nationality, and he’s very hopeful to go to the World Cup.”

”Brazil has too much talent, many excellent players don’t get the chance to join the national team, so they choose to join other country’s teams.”

”Alright, the main referee Nicola Ivanov has blown the whistle to start the match.”

After Milan kicked off, Inzaghi passed it back, Kaka took the ball and habitually passed to the left side.

The moment Huang Kaiwen received the ball, Senna rushed up to him.

Huang Kaiwen didn’t dare to hold the ball long and turned for a back pass.

A good display of the ”hot potato” characteristic of Van de Beek.

Senna can be said to be the most important part of Spain for the next two major tournaments.

Spain doesn’t lack playmakers and attacking players, what they’re missing is a defensive midfielder.

Senna, as a defensive player, perfectly replaced Albelda.

The best method to break through Senna is to use speed.

And the fact that Van de Beek isn’t fast makes it very troublesome.

Huang Kaiwen knew he had to find an outlet.

Pirlo launched a long pass to the left, and as Huang Kaiwen raised his foot, he stopped the ball steadily, and before Senna could arrive, he had already sent the ball to Kaka at the center.

After Kaka took the ball past the midfield, he encountered the joint defense of Sorin and Josico.

The two of them didn’t give Kaka the chance to speed up, and Kaka could only turn and pass back to the supporting Cafu.

Seeing Huang Kaiwen roaming near the penalty area, even though someone was guarding him, Cafu still chose to make a long pass to the left side.

Huang Kaiwen once again trapped the ball with his instep and promptly passed back.

Serginho received the ball and delivered a cross with his left foot.

Juan Pena jumped ahead and headed the ball out of the penalty area.

Kaka, receiving the ball on the right side of the penalty area, was bumped by Sorin, and AC Milan got a free kick.

Pirlo signaled to Huang Kaiwen.

Huang Kaiwen walked over and whispered with his mouth covered, ”I’ll feint, you take the shot.”

”Okay.”

Pirlo said nonchalantly.

Yet he couldn’t help but feel anxious inside.

Huang Kaiwen, who could take free kicks with the outside of his foot on the left side, was giving up so readily today.

But since Huang Kaiwen insisted on playing, Pirlo chose to trust him.

A player who at a crucial moment helped Milan win several championships is always worth trusting.

Pirlo stood to the left and behind the ball.

Huang Kaiwen stood directly behind the ball.

Truthfully, for a right-side free kick, Huang Kaiwen’s position was uncomfortable.

But for a player who could strike with the outside of either foot, insisting on positions is just a joke.

”Damn it, don’t block my line of sight!”

”Move a bit more to the left, to the left!”

”Shit, watch the side of the wall, make sure to follow when they run.”

Mariano Barbosa, the Argentine goalkeeper, kept nervously directing his teammates’ positions.

Any goalkeeper facing AC Milan’s set pieces is most troubled by free kicks.

Whether corner kicks or free kicks, AC Milan has too many options.

This made Barbosa very anxious.

Once he finished directing his teammates,

Huang Kaiwen also started his run-up from the right side of the ball.

Bang—

Pirlo’s right foot curled under the ball, sending it over Senna’s head and flying straight to the left of the goal. Barbosa leaped for the save but Serginho got the ball after the effort.

Xavi Venta chased Serginho out of the penalty area.

Serginho managed to shake off Venta with consecutive feints and adjustments, gaining half a body length.

Knowing the opportunity was fleeting, Serginho didn’t even turn around, he immediately used the outside of his foot for a lateral knock.

The ball bounced as it was passed.

It hopped and skipped towards the center of the field.

Huang Kaiwen trapped the ball with his back to goal, and it bounced off his foot to his right side.

Huang Kaiwen reacted quickly.

He immediately pivoted on his left foot and extended his right foot, swinging it over the ball.

Bang—

Quique Alvarez instinctively ducked and turned, letting the ball whizz past his shoulder.

Barbosa had done his best, he judged the direction correctly even with obstructed vision.

Unfortunately, he misjudged the height.

The ball squeezed past his arm and into the net.
