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

Capello’s barrage of fury stunned Miguel Torres.

Some of the Rome players on the field grew fearful as well.

They thought Capello was frightening enough back in Rome, but his temper had grown even more formidable since joining Real Madrid.

Doni, who had not experienced the Capello era at Rome, was also affected by his intensity, failing to kick the ball out promptly.

”Don’t bother coming back to the locker room; just warm up during the break, you’re being substituted in the second half!”

Capello turned and told Marcelo.

”Damn, get back and defend!”

Turning back and seeing Torres still in the attacking half, Capello roared again.

Jolted to his senses, Torres hurried back, his mind blank.

He had not expected such a huge reaction from the coach.

Miguel Torres trudged back to the mid-field, still unable to collect his thoughts.

By then, Doni had already blasted the ball out, and David Pizarro deftly controlled it with his foot.

As a South American player, his skills were impressive.

Though unassuming in appearance, much like Deco, Pizarro, who was jokingly called a plain and honest peasant, was fierce in defense and a significant threat in attack.

Before Guti could challenge him, Pizarro lightly flicked the ball with his right foot, sending a precise through pass.

The ball accurately found Perrotta, who, alongside De Jong, rapidly played the ball to the left after receiving it.

Mancini, carrying the ball from the left corner of the box into the penalty area, saw Ramos rushing to block him, but Mancini suddenly tapped the ball and accelerated, his height making him more agile than Ramos, allowing for easier balance adjustment.

Ramos was just a step slow, which gave Mancini the opportunity to send a cross with his left foot near the baseline.

The Real Madrid defenders were focused on the more forward-positioned Totti, while Heinze, noticing Perrotta’s position, slid again in the box.

The ball slid behind Perrotta, and Pizarro fiercely struck it with his right foot from close range.

The shot was powerful, and although Casillas managed to react, diving and extending his leg to increase his defensive reach, the ball deflected off his foot and went into the upper corner of the goal.

”David!!!”

”David!!!”

”David!!!”

During the stoppage time in the first half, Rome finally scored, unleashing the pent-up passion of the Rome fans with terrifying fervor.

Perrotta and Pizarro, shoulders embraced, ran toward the corner flag area with the fans, turning the entire Stadio Olimpico Rome into a sea of joy, almost making it seem as if they were leading against Real Madrid.

”Hehe, this goal, it’s exposing Real Madrid’s defense issues again.”

”Yes, Ramos didn’t touch it with his foot, neither De Jong nor Cannavaro got it with their slide tackle, Casillas touched it but deflected it into his own goal. However, this time it’s not Casillas’ fault. Given the closeness of the shot, his reaction was already outstanding. The main issue is still Real Madrid’s poor defensive positioning.”

”Right, their positions were too concentrated, making their 5 against 3 look as if they didn’t have a numerical advantage.”

”The main problem with Real Madrid is their defense line; Ivanovic and Pepe had a good defensive combination, but both getting injured has made Madrid’s defense lose their coordination.”

”After the World Cup, Cannavaro’s performance has degraded compared to before, maybe he hasn’t adapted to Real Madrid’s pace yet.”

Huang Kaiwen, his hands on his hips, stood behind the center circle in his half.

He was anxious about the goal because he feared Rome gaining momentum, and unfortunately, towards the end of the first half, Rome found their opportunity.

Today, the main referee was clearly avoiding bias.

The Rome players’ tackles, which weren’t very harsh, were not being called.

Huang Kaiwen shook his head helplessly.

Vander had to boast in the newspaper about the Yellow Ball King, and since he dared to boast, he shouldn’t be afraid. Officiating today’s game seems fearful of being accused of bias.

The Yellow Ball King was burdened by his own reputation.

Now, many referees in Europe tend to give his opponents a bit of leeway.

Because of Huang’s famous name.

Any minor refereeing mistake that benefits him gets disproportionately highlighted by the opponents.

Returning to the center to restart the game, Raul quickly passed the ball to the left.

De Rossi immediately rushed up to press, Huang Kaiwen pulled the ball with his right foot and accelerated past De Rossi, Pizarro lunged toward Huang with a tackle, but Huang quickly tapped the ball to the right, narrowly avoiding Pizarro’s feet.

Ramos, catching up, immediately sent a long ball forward.

When Raul dashed toward the Rome box, his mind was frantically criticizing.

Does Ramos have a misunderstanding? He’s having him take on Rome’s entire defense line alone.

Despite his complaints, he still needed to make the play.

Raul and Mexes jumped for the ball simultaneously at the dropping point, Mexes outjumped Raul, heading the ball to the sideline.

The main referee, Vander, blew the halftime whistle.

”Let’s go, Kevin!”

Ramos jogged up to Huang Kaiwen.

The AC Milan locker room was more familiar, but Ramos still felt more comfortable returning to Real Madrid.

Huang Kaiwen nodded with a smile and walked with Ramos toward the sideline.

Capello quickly approached, handing Huang Kaiwen a water bottle and a towel.

Cassano, pushed aside, muttered, ”At this age, he still has such strong physical presence. Why retire when he can still play so well?”

Capello’s expression unchanged, he stood with a smile in front of Huang Kaiwen, mentally noting to make Cassano continue refreshing the scorer’s list in Team B.
