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

Capello’s tactics maximized the coverage of Guti’s lack of form.

So it’s not that Kevin suppressed Guti, it’s that Guti couldn’t take on Kaka’s role.

Is it possible for a passer to play the role of a dribbler?

As for Raul, he did make some sacrifices.

This is the trend in football.

The 433 formation is coming back strong, with more and more big teams using it. In a 433, the forwards have to work very hard.

In the 433 formation, a lone striker has to take on a series of responsibilities like defending, coordinating, seizing the point, and running to draw the defense, which is why one-dimensional forwards are gradually disappearing from the starting lineups of big teams.

Central defense is getting tighter, and attacking cores are starting their offense from the flanks.

At such times, forwards are needed to put pressure on the opponent’s defense in the central area.

Just look at Kaka recently, he also sometimes chooses to carry the ball on the flank.

Huang Kaiwen didn’t bother to respond to Cruyff.

That old guy is just waiting to make money by arguing in the newspapers after retiring.

Except for Mourinho, almost no players or coaches would keep arguing with Cruyff.

It’s too exhausting.

Around 4 p.m., the entire Real Madrid team arrived at Camp Nou Stadium.

When changing clothes, Huang Kaiwen scratched a scratch-off card and, as expected, got a second prize.

High enough luck can keep the bottom line.

After putting on his boots, Huang Kaiwen decided to draw a prize.

[Ding, you’ve received a single match experience card for Haaland in Manchester City’s 2022-2023 Premier League ninth round game against Manchester United.]

Whoa!

It’s him.

[Haaland] is not as good at heading or organizational skills as forwards like Benzema or van Persie.

His handling of stopping and shooting is quite good, but he struggles without a clear subsequent goal after stopping the ball.

He has the height, but his ability to hold up the ball with his back to the goal is not strong.

Haaland performs very well in counter-attacks.

He has excellent physical fitness, fast speed, and strong impact, and both feet can score.

He is also very talented in aspects like off-the-ball runs and making backward runs as a striker.

Overall, he is not a striker suitable for holding the front line.

Especially when playing against teams like Barça that favor organized play.

”Coach, I want to play as a forward.”

After changing clothes, Huang Kaiwen said directly.

”Switch positions with Raul?”

Asked Capello.

”A double forward, I need a partner.”

”Alright, I’ll adjust the starting lineup.”

Capello nodded and said.

...

”This match is the focus of the UEFA Champions League, and banners were put up early at Camp Nou Stadium to put pressure on Real Madrid players.”

”Indeed, many legends are in the stands at Camp Nou. Pele is sitting with Cruyff today.”

”The players from both teams return to the player tunnel. Huang Kaiwen and Messi greet each other. They have always had a good relationship. There are rumors that Barça wants to sell Messi to AC Milan for two hundred million, but who knows if it’s true.”

”Alright, let’s take a look at today’s starting lineups for both teams.”

Real Madrid 442 with double defensive midfielders:

Goalkeeper: Casillas,

Defenders: Heinze, Pepe, Ivanovic, Ramos,

Midfielders: Robben, Guti, De Jong, Cassano,

Forwards: Raul, Huang Kaiwen.

Barcelona 433 with a single defensive midfielder:

Goalkeeper: Valdes,

Defenders: Abidal, Gabriel Milito, Max, Thuram,

Midfielders: Deco, Yaya Toure, Xavi,

Forwards: Iniesta, Eto’o, Messi.

”With Puyol and Zambrotta injured, Barça’s defense is stretched thin. Although Thuram can play right-back, his form has significantly declined recently.”

”Yes, luckily today Huang Kaiwen is playing as a forward. Capello used Huang Kaiwen very effectively in the two-leg Champions League matches against Chelsea, successfully countering Mourinho’s tactics.”

”Yes, in the last three matches Huang Kaiwen played in completely different positions, showing that Capello is not as tactically rigid and single-minded as the newspapers say. He is trying out more strategies.”

Both coaches followed their players onto the field.

Guardiola took the initiative to shake hands with Capello and said, ”Hope today’s match goes well.”

”As long as you don’t follow Rijkaard’s example.”

Capello said meaningfully.

Guardiola nodded, turned around, and walked toward the dugout.

Zambrotta, sitting in the stands, showed a satisfied smile.

Finally, he doesn’t have to face Huang Kaiwen one-on-one.

Even if Huang Kaiwen is playing as a forward today, Thuram won’t have an easy time either.

Zambrotta knows Huang Kaiwen’s positioning too well.

If the opportunity is too good, Huang Kaiwen can launch from the flank even if he’s playing centrally, the full-back still bears the primary responsibility.

The players of both teams flipped the coin.

Barça kicked off first.

Eto’o passed the ball sideways, and Iniesta wasn’t in a hurry to attack, waiting for teammates to come up to receive the ball in the midfield.

Although the celebrated Dream Team III just started, their style of creating local numerical superiority had long been established.

Both wingers would often fall back to provide support and help teammates to organize the attack.

When Xavi got the ball, he was met with pressure from Huang Kaiwen.

Xavi quickly dodged with his right foot on the spot, and Huang Kaiwen rushed past but stopped abruptly to charge at Xavi again.

Xavi extended his arm to maintain balance, continuing to dodge the ball in an attempt to shake off Huang Kaiwen.

He had a chance to pass the ball earlier, but he insisted on dribbling past Huang Kaiwen before passing.

With the Magic Power of Love Circle, Huang Kaiwen was very familiar with Xavi’s shielding technique.

This time, instead of leaning on Xavi, he waited until Xavi dodged the ball and was about to turn and face Real Madrid’s half.

Huang Kaiwen suddenly accelerated, extended his left foot, and successfully scooped the ball from between Xavi’s legs to his front.

Xavi immediately reached out to grab Huang Kaiwen’s arm, but Huang Kaiwen quickly moved sideways and passed the ball sideways.

Cassano had just received the ball when Yaya Toure charged up.

Cassano didn’t dare to be overconfident and quickly turned around to pass the ball back.

De Jong intercepted the ball and made an immediate diagonal pass to the right flank, starting Ramos’s drive forward.

Deco rushed toward Ramos, but Ramos had spotted Huang Kaiwen earlier and chose to pass horizontally to Cassano while charging forward himself.

Cassano made a direct diagonal pass without stopping, completing a one-two with Ramos.

Yaya Toure and Abidal almost simultaneously rushed toward Ramos.

”That’s dangerous, don’t go together! Watch the middle!”

Guardiola shouted from the sideline.

Yaya Toure and Abidal hesitated for a moment.

Yaya Toure quickly turned to run back and mark Cassano, while Ramos seized the opportunity to dribble past Abidal.

Huang Kaiwen, Raul, and Robben all rushed into Barça’s penalty area.

Thuram and Max took positions in front and behind, following closely beside Huang Kaiwen.

The veteran Thuram was also careful of the more external Robben, which was a huge test for a 36-year-old defender.

Reaching the right side of the big penalty area, Ramos struck the ball with his right foot’s inner instep while running.

Bang—

Abidal extended his foot to block but failed to touch the ball.

The ball flew diagonally to the left side from his foot.

Several Real Madrid players in the penalty area took action, and in a moment of hesitation, Huang Kaiwen had already raced past Thuram. Max realized the ball might go straight into the net and quickly ran towards the goal line.

Valdes reached out immediately, and his fingertips deflected the ball slightly, causing its trajectory to change slightly toward the left post.

Huang Kaiwen, unmarked, jumped up and blocked the ball into the goal with the inside of his left leg.

”Kevin!!!”

”Kevin!!!”

”Kevin!!!”

”Just at the beginning, Kevin initiated this attack with a steal and finished it with a goal.”

”From his professional career start, Kevin has scored with his feet, head, chest, and heel. Today, he added a goal with the inside of his left leg, completing his scoring positions. In the inherently unchallenging game of football, Kevin always sets a goal for himself and then achieves it.”

”For Barcelona, Kevin’s sole significance is to keep breaking the scoring records in El Clasico, nothing more.”
