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

”Let’s sub Kevin out early.”

Galbiati walked up to Capello and said.

This was the first time he had given such a suggestion.

Having followed Capello for many years, he was naturally familiar with the Roma team Capello had coached.

Despite the Roma fans and players being very grateful to Huang Kaiwen, when it came to play, the Roma players didn’t hold back their tackles.

”Yeah, I was thinking the same thing,” Capello nodded and said, ”Spalletti must be up to something, and we can’t organize a search on away ground; it’s better to get Kevin off earlier.”

Having said that, Capello’s gaze swept to the substitutes’ bench, where next to Soldado was that Argentinian with naturally curled hair, whose right hand, which was tucked in his pocket, began to rhythmically bend and straighten his index and middle fingers as if by reflex.

Totti retreated to the midfield with the ball and became entangled with Guti who was in pursuit.

Totti used the strength of his shoulder and left arm to bump into Guti, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.

The two were not on the same level when it came to physical confrontations; Totti was not only technically brilliant but also very strong.

Gago quickly rushed up to press.

De Jong had already gone to the left to guard the very active young Mancini, allowing Totti to advance any further would have meant facing Real Madrid’s defense directly.

Totti flicked the ball with his right foot, and Gago followed, shifting his weight.

After two successive flicks, Totti still couldn’t find the opportunity to get past any players, and with Guti who had fallen now sticking close, Totti hurriedly flicked the ball again and ran back.

Guti and Gago were in hot pursuit, and just behind the midfield line, Totti stopped, pushed the ball back with his right foot, turned around, and used his outstanding physical fitness to squeeze past Guti and Gago with the ball, charging towards Real Madrid’s penalty area.

”Beautiful! It was entirely Totti’s individual ability on display this time.”

”Indeed, Totti nearly transferred to Real Madrid before; he was also favored by the then Real Madrid president Florentino as a star player. There truly is no unworthy reputation under great fame!”

”Real Madrid players are starting to strangle Totti, my goodness, it’s usually Huang Kaiwen facing this level of defense, with five players surrounding and chasing... passed, the ball hit Perrotta’s calf from behind, and Huang Kaiwen who was on the chase got the ball first and made a long pass to launch a counterattack. Ah, a pity for Perrotta’s mistake, Totti’s performance was really impressive.”

Robben, who received the ball on the left, advanced at high speed along the sideline.

Miguel Torres, who was further ahead, kept asking for the ball, but Robben ignored him completely; damn Torres, even if it was Fernando Torres, don’t expect him to pass the ball!

Capello, standing on the sidelines, was already starting to accumulate rage.

Damn it!

A full-back going forward so aggressively, making Kevin track back to defend.

Does this kind of player even deserve to be on the first team?

Since Marcelo was Brazilian and had a filtering personality, he wasn’t really favored by Capello. But Capello had already started considering giving Marcelo more opportunities!

With Real Madrid’s defense racked by injuries and suspensions, Capello couldn’t afford to demote Torres, who could cover both left and right back, to the B team, so he decided to use the tactic he had originally employed with Cassano.

The silent treatment!

Let Torres be included in the squad and sit on the bench for every match, but as long as Real Madrid had any available defenders, Miguel Torres could forget about getting a chance.

...

On the field, Robben was very comfortable with the ball on the left, with De Rossi following Huang Kaiwen, and no defenders around him.

When he neared the penalty area, Robben started adjusting his steps for a breakthrough towards the middle.

Pizarro and Mexes stood together on the left, waiting for Robben to run into them.

Robben was still fine-tuning his stepwork; left-footed players commonly faced this issue— their right footed skills tend to be inferior.

But Giuly had already caught up from behind, and knowing he had no time to waste, Robben quickly raised his right foot and struck the ball.

Thump—

The ball shot straight between Mexes and Pizarro on its way to the goal. The force and angle of the kick were not exactly tricky; the only issue was that Robben hadn’t controlled the power of his shot well, causing the ball to continuously bounce on the turf.

Doni dove to the ground immediately, successfully deflecting the ball to the right of the small penalty area. Raul quickly rushed up for the follow-up shot. Doni, already on the ground, couldn’t save a second time, allowing Raul to easily send the ball into the net.

Whistle—

The linesman raised his flag.

”Offside, there’s no problem with that decision. The moment Robben took the shot, Raul was already in an offside position.”

”Raul has been very active today as well. Aside from the goal earlier, he also created several opportunities.”

”Heh heh. Some people wonder why Raul can always start when he’s not scoring as many goals as before. But watching Real Madrid’s matches, you’ll see that Raul has a great understanding with Huang Kaiwen.”

”That’s right, a decline with age is inevitable, but Raul has also given up some opportunities to make runs that help Huang Kaiwen pull the opposing lines apart. For a 30-year-old forward, scoring 13 goals and providing 9 assists across all competitions is already a very respectable tally.”

”Right... Huh? What’s wrong with Capello, he seems quite dissatisfied.”

The left side is not close to the coaching area.

Capello’s rage was off the charts, and the Roma fans in the upper stands could hear his shouting.

”Are you fucking clueless? Do you think you’re a MiG fighter jet? Bullshit! You’re a full-back, you fucking need to ensure defense before you attack, do you get that? Why do I see Kevin tracking back to defend, and you getting involved in the offense, tell me? Who the fuck do you think you are, what gives you the right to act like this? Even if you were Paolo Maldini or Andreas Brehme, you wouldn’t have the right to let Kevin cover for you, got it, idiot, damn it...”
