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

If he were Italian, the Italian fans would definitely treat him as a national treasure.

It’s hard to understand why Catalonian fans and media love to give him a hard time. The little guy even secretly asked him about the AC Milan team before.

The way he tried to be discreet was very amusing.

He could instantly tell what Messi was thinking.

Luckily, he, Gianluca Zambrotta, has good character and wouldn’t snitch or expose him to the media.

Otherwise, Messi would face even more harsh criticism.

The kid is too honest, his skills are inferior to Kevin’s, and he’s not as mature in handling people and situations.

Heavens know why Kevin excels in every aspect.

If he were to play today, his performance might not be much better than Thuram in the latter’s career days.

Although his current abilities should be better than Thuram’s when playing as a fullback.

But does a score of 8 versus 6.5 make much difference in front of offensive players with a rating of 12 on a 10-point scale?

Thuram sat on the ground.

Looking just like Valdes.

He touched the back of his head, completely puzzled.

When facing Huang Kaiwen playing for AC Milan back then, he directly knocked him off the pitch and into the advertising boards.

Even if that No. 10 improved greatly over the years and he himself declined, it shouldn’t be like this.

Looking at Huang Kaiwen’s back, that No. 10’s body is just a bit stronger than before, not much different, but how did he improve his ability to withstand physical confrontations so much?

Not even halfway through the first half, and Barcelona is already two goals behind.

It somewhat dampened Barca’s morale.

They lost possession right after the kickoff.

”Let him receive the ball with his back to the goal, then press him, don’t give him a chance to turn around!!!”

Guardiola shouted from the sidelines.

Huang Kaiwen, who was about to receive the ball on the right flank, nearly gave Pep a thumbs up for the shout.

In such a short time, he already discovered Haaland’s issue with playing with his back to the goal.

The new generation of strikers generally aren’t good at back-to-the-goal play. Top-level strikers with such ability are quite rare, likely due to the changing pace of the game, not giving them time to shield the ball and wait for teammates.

Mr. Huang indeed lacks the trait of playing with his back to the goal.

So, even with enhancements, it’s still a problem today.

But he can avoid this issue.

After Guti’s horizontal pass, Ramos made a diagonal pass.

Huang Kaiwen observed, didn’t turn around, and timed it perfectly, lifting his foot so the ball rolled past.

With the stud’s deceleration, the ball stopped steadily in front of Huang Kaiwen.

Abidal rushed up immediately.

Pa——

With a left-foot flick, Huang Kaiwen accelerated forward.

He slightly turned his body, angled his steps, and his shoulder still collided with Abidal’s.

Abidal finally understood why Thuram was so embarrassed earlier.

He was almost knocked down, and as he steadied himself, Huang Kaiwen still burst into the penalty box.

Milito knew he couldn’t match Huang Kaiwen’s speed.

So after taking a couple of steps back into the penalty area, he stopped, adjusted his stance, and planned to use his body to block Huang Kaiwen, who, unable to slow down, collided into Milito.

Milito was forced to bend and ran a few steps into the box; Huang Kaiwen merely wobbled a bit, quickly steadied himself, and immediately took a shot.

Bang——

Valdes, diving to save, couldn’t even touch the ball. Turning back, he saw it roll out past the left post and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly raised his arm and wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve.

”Huang Kaiwen’s playing style is different today.”

”Yes, we all know his physical fitness is good, but to what extent is hard to say. He’s not usually the kind of player who likes physical contact; opponents can’t even touch him when he dribbles past them. But watching today’s game, this style of pushing past opponents and shooting reminds me of Vieri.”

”Haha, it does look a bit like that. Instead of dribbling past, he’s engaging in physical confrontations, and it’s only been 20-something minutes. All four Barca defenders have suffered at his hands; this can’t go on.”

”Right, the injuries to Zambrotta and Puyol indeed have a big impact.”

Guardiola vigorously rubbed his bald head.

He already saw the crux of the issue: Huang Kaiwen needed a lot of space to sprint today.

Barca’s high defensive line gave him ample space to sprint.

But even knowing the problem, he couldn’t fix it.

You can’t just change a well-honed tactical system for one match, switching from a high line to a deep block. Without training, changing tactics will make the players very uncomfortable, and their performance will likely dip.

Even back in the B team, he pondered the tactics for the first team.

He thought that once he coached the first team, he’d shock the football world and become one of the star coaches.

But in La Liga, he finally understood why so many renowned coaches couldn’t handle Huang Kaiwen.

Damn!

Whose key player changes positions in three games?

Goalkeeper, winger, forward, and he even played as a defensive midfielder before.

His playing style changes with his position, making it very difficult to prepare against that Real Madrid No. 10.

On the pitch, Barcelona launched another attack. Eto’o, receiving the ball, was tightly pressed by De Jong, stumbled, and fell, clutching his leg and rolling on the ground.

Unable to tolerate the misfortunes any longer, Guardiola walked to the sideline and kicked away a water bottle thrown by a fan.

”Hahaha, Guardiola kicked the bottle right onto Dos Santos’ head. He quickly went over to apologize. Young coaches sure have a short fuse, haha, Guardiola’s sideline antics today are quite notable.”
