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

...

”Glory belongs to Manchester United, Red Devils march on, Irwin, Schmeichel, Kanchelskis, Giggs, and Steve Bruce, Parker, Scholes, McClair, Keane, Cantona, and Hughes—as long as we stand united, we will never lose...”

The Manchester United fans, regaining their confidence, sang that famous ”Glory belongs to Manchester United.”

There wasn’t much despair on the faces of the Real Madrid fans in the stands; they too sang out loud, making it hard to tell which side had just scored the goal.

Raul took the kickoff and passed it sideways to Cassano, who immediately knocked it back.

Guti received the ball and looked up, Fletcher had both hands on Huang Kaiwen, almost merging into one with him as he turned his body and passed sideways to De Jong.

De Jong, with the ball, was not in a hurry to push forward—after all, there was no way to pass to the left wing now.

Waiting for Rooney to charge at him and stretch out a foot, De Jong dribbled with his right foot to avoid Rooney and twisted his body to diagonal pass the ball to Ramos in front.

Ramos, standing behind the center line, received the ball and, while looking towards the left wing, already spun his right foot beneath the ball.

With only one defender around Kevin, it essentially spelled a good opportunity!

Ramos had that kind of confidence in Huang Kaiwen.

Boom—

The powerful pass crossed the pitch in the blink of an eye.

Huang Kaiwen burst out from behind Fletcher, chested the ball to control it sideways.

Even so, the ball was still headed back behind the center line; Ramos’s pass was just too powerful!

Guti received the ball at the arc top and encountered Scholes’s aggressive challenge.

Both middling in physical strength, Scholes carried a tenacity in his play.

In the tussle, Guti was clearly at a disadvantage.

As he fell backward, Guti used his shin to knock the ball back to the advancing De Jong.

De Jong quickly passed it to Marcelo, who, under pressure from Ronaldo, panicked and made a back pass. Huang Kaiwen, retreating to the backcourt, displayed amazing explosive power again, darting between Scholes and Rooney to successfully receive the ball.

Rooney went straight to the ground for the tackle.

Huang Kaiwen flicked the ball sideways with his left foot to avoid the tackle, Giggs rapidly closed in on Huang Kaiwen. Huang Kaiwen drew the ball back with his left foot, then faked a right-footed move over the ball.

A half Marseille turn!

Scholes lunged with a foot out, and Huang Kaiwen deftly dribbled away with his right foot.

Scholes, having missed and lost his balance, fell embarrassingly to the ground.

Fletcher, from behind, grabbed hold of Huang Kaiwen’s left arm. Huang Kaiwen struggled free and got to the ball before O’Shea at the center line.

The waiting Guti ahead blocked Huang Kaiwen’s path, while O’Shea took the chance to rush forward and stretch out his right foot. Huang Kaiwen nudged the ball with the outside of his left foot, sidestepped, and drew the ball back again, dodging O’Shea’s right foot twice in succession.

O’Shea had already lost control of his body, his left and right legs crossing, almost tripping over himself.

O’Shea staggered a couple of steps before regaining his balance.

Before Huang Kaiwen could adjust, Vidic was already in front of him. He quickly shoved the ball to the side with the outside of his left foot, passing it to Law, who was on the wing, and then continued his forward charge.

Law made a mistake with his right foot and couldn’t hold the ball on his first touch; he had to hook it with his foot to gain control.

Carrick, who had defended to the left side, took the chance to poke the ball out of the sideline behind Law.

”Ah, such a good opportunity wasted.”

”Raul’s control this time was just unacceptable; if he could have pulled off a wall pass with Huang Kaiwen, they would have had the ball,”

”The main thing is that Huang Kaiwen’s maneuver through several players wasn’t quite his usual style, so as teammates, Guti and Raul couldn’t tell if Huang Kaiwen was going to pass!”

”Right, hehe, the key is here. Although Huang Kaiwen is versatile, most of the time he plays expansively, also liking to use those fancy dribbling skills. Today, suddenly, every time he’s making a small turn just as an opponent moves to tackle, which catches both the opponents and his teammates off guard, hehe.”

”Yes, Huang Kaiwen’s playing style today reminds me of Maradona, brings me right back to over a decade ago.”

”Hehe, Maradona probably didn’t have the speed Huang Kaiwen has. Now that Huang Kaiwen is on fire, I wonder if Manchester United’s defense can withstand his onslaught.”

Ferguson was incessantly barking orders from the sidelines.

Marcelo threw a ball in from the front, and Manchester United players quickly chose their defensive targets.

Scholes rushed to Raul who was receiving the ball to pressure him.

Fletcher and C Ronaldo stayed close to Huang Kaiwen, who was positioned further back.

Raul glanced once and then used the instep to pass the ball back to Marcelo, who stopped the ball with his foot and immediately swung his left foot for a 45-degree cross.

The cross was quite sudden.

Manchester United’s defenders were all a step slow to react.

But Raul wasn’t in the middle, and Cassano was too far away; the ball landed in the small penalty box and Van der Sar easily caught it.

”Damn it, do you guys even want the championship?!!!”

Van der Sar roared.

Vidic put his hands on his waist.

Ferdinand spread his hands.

Seeing that his teammates said nothing, Van der Sar put down the ball and passed it short to the right-wing.

O’Shea quickly tapped the ball forward, and C Ronaldo received it and suddenly changed his style; he used the inside of his right foot to knock the ball to the left, shifted his balance with a body feint, tucked the ball with his left foot, and sprinted past Huang Kaiwen. Facing the challenging Guti, he performed a half step-over with his right foot above the ball and dragged it with his left, diagonally breaking into the midfield.

Having reached the front field, C Ronaldo didn’t wait for De Jong to get close and passed wide to the advancing Scholes on the right-wing; Pepe made a successful challenge and poked the ball away from Scholes’s feet.

Huang Kaiwen, who had tracked back to his own half, turned with the ball and noticed that Manchester United’s formation was pressing very high.

He decisively swung his arm and his left foot caressed under the ball.

Thump—

The ball flew rapidly from the back left side of the field toward the front right.

Cassano, who started his run early, kept Heinze behind him as they entangled and charged toward the penalty area.

The ball, after flying 60 meters, landed perfectly in front of Cassano and Heinze.

”Kevin’s pass is as precise as his shots!”

”Cassano rushes up to control it, and this stop reminds me of the lad from Barry. Cassano takes the ball into the penalty area, Ferdinand follows him to the small penalty area, shoot!!!”

”Goal!!!”

”Cassano receives a satellite-precision pass from Kevin and scores a pretty good goal.”

”When Kevin wants to organize an attack, he’s the best in the world at it!”

”Pirlo should be grateful, given back when Kevin chose to play on the wing instead of center, otherwise, he would have been Milan’s substitute for the past two seasons!”
