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

Chapter 1818: Chapter 487: Carroll Plays Soccer Like Me

”Good heavens, that wasn’t a light fall.”

”Yes, it seems like when the thigh exerted force, the calf didn’t follow, maybe it got stuck on the grass. We usually see people sit like this, but generally, they’re kids. An adult’s ligaments aren’t that flexible.”

”That’s right, this was forced, definitely an injury. Just don’t know how serious it is.”

The sudden change left Arsenal’s medical team scrambling.

Huang Kaiwen waved directly to the sidelines, Giovanni Nanni rushed up with a first aid kit as he didn’t bring a stretcher initially.

The referee hadn’t even realized this was Milan’s medical team.

Upon seeing Nanni’s jacket, he noticed something was off—why did Arsenal also have three stripes?

But seeing Nanni tending to the injury, he left him undisturbed.

Both teams’ players stood nearby as Nanni treated Sagna’s injury.

Giovanni Nanni looked up and said, ”The cruciate ligament issue is severe, my advice is to send him directly to the hospital.”

At this moment, the tardy Arsenal medical team hastily carried him onto the stretcher.

”Be careful, his condition can’t get worse!”

Giovanni Nanni scolded.

He couldn’t stand these veterinarians.

Arsenal starts its injury wave every Christmas and habitually collapses in March.

Rather than a curse, it’s the medical team that’s the problem.

Swapping player after player, yet collapsing consistently every year—it’s clear the medical team isn’t handling things well.

Thinking about it that way.

Giovanni Nanni truly felt that there was a reason Milan was so strong.

The public only sees the players.

In reality, Milan’s medical team is top-notch, unmatched globally, with facilities put in without regard for cost.

Compared to the legendary Milan Laboratory of the past, Milan’s current medical and training facilities are the strongest.

The combination of software and hardware is what makes Milan so formidable.

This doesn’t even include the soon-to-be-completed St. Kevin Stadium and the planned expansion of Milanello.

It’s just because Milan is a Serie A team, its valuation isn’t as high.

If those groups did a field study in Milan, they’d soon realize that there’s not a single sports club in the world capable of competing!

Giovanni Nanni left the field carrying the medical kit.

Wenger quickly came up and warmly said in Italian, ”Thank you very much for your help.”

”Don’t mention it, Kevin was the one who called me up; thank him instead.”

Giovanni Nanni said with a smile.

Wenger truly holds a prestigious position in football.

But Giovanni Nanni decided to stay in Milan until retirement, so he doesn’t have to worry about such things.

Moreover, even if he intended to leave, elite clubs worldwide would welcome such an outstanding medical professional.

A good medic is arguably as important as a good coach, being crucial for core players to return early and reducing the impacts of injuries on their competitive state, although some teams don’t prioritize it.

In football’s elite clubs, their downfall mostly stems from their veterinarians.

With the game restarted, even though Milan had possession, Arsenal pulled back into defense, leaving Huang Kaiwen to pass the ball away.

The referee then blew the halftime whistle.

Players from both teams headed off the field in pairs and groups.

Torres took up the usual spot of Kaka, with Ramos on the opposite side of Huang Kaiwen.

At this moment, van Persie intended to strike up a conversation, prompting Torres to tense up.

Worldwide, countless players hope to join Milan, with every excellent forward potentially being his rival.

Upon noticing Torres, van Persie quickly scratched his head and walked to the sidelines.

Torres scowled.

Van Persie’s actions were too conspicuous, as clear as day to him.

Especially the last bit of trying to cover things up—it made Torres more certain of van Persie’s intentions.

He’s Fernando Torres, and he’s been playing at Milan for three years without clinching the UEFA Champions League.

Kevin only just returned to Milan, and van Persie wanted to take advantage?

Dream on!

Torres resolved to find an opportunity later to give van Persie a knock, sending him to recover lying down.

Clemente squeezed past Ramos.

Seeing the towel and water bottle in Clemente’s hand, Ramos let it slide.

”Kevin, how are you feeling today?”

Clemente asked attentively.

”Not bad, coach.”

Huang Kaiwen replied.

”That’s good, head back then.”

Clemente said.

Huang Kaiwen followed his teammates into the players’ tunnel.

It’s not that Yellow Ball King looks down on assistant coaches.

The thing is, Clemente really doesn’t have much strategy. Yellow Ball King insists Arsenal’s tactics aren’t as good as Milan’s, yet Clemente himself may not believe it.

Even Huang Kaiwen himself can’t bring himself to say it.

Back in the locker room, the teammates were still discussing Huang Kaiwen’s earlier maneuver.

Kroos, serving as a substitute today, stepped on the long bench and waved his arms, saying: ”The spot where he fell was very close to my end, I saw it clearly. Kevin started with a right-foot tap and followed with a shoulder feint. Next is the key...”

”If you’re gonna talk, spit it out!”

Ambrosini urged from the side.

Kroos stuck his tongue out and continued, ”It looked like Kevin tapped the ball with his right foot’s outer instep, the Arsenal defender didn’t follow, but actually, Kevin had several moves. First, still the shoulder—shoulder feint is a common move for Kevin. A shoulder shake and the opponent panics. Moreover, Kevin’s whole body supports the shoulder, with the waist and abdomen working with the groin, such subtle moves completely deceive the opponent, combined with Kevin’s gaze...”

”Hold on!”

Topless, Gattuso interrupted Kroos: ”I remember Kevin was facing away from the bench, how did you see his gaze?”
