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

Chapter 2052: Chapter 534: Soaring Together with Kevin on Both Wings

Coach Zhang chuckled and said, ”With Huang Kaiwen around, even if AC Milan doesn’t perform well, and lost a Coppa Italia when he was injured, AC Milan can still win several trophies by the end of the season. Bringing in big-name stars can’t win more trophies for AC Milan, after all, there are only so many trophies to win, it’s not like more competitions will appear out of nowhere.”

”That’s true, big-name stars can bring championships to other teams. But at AC Milan, Huang Kaiwen is already a guarantee for championships, so the effect of bringing in big-name stars isn’t as obvious.”

”But you can’t say it like that, watching Messi play is exciting, AC Milan fans will surely get used to his style, just that there won’t be as much expectation as fans of other teams might have.”

”The starting lineups for both sides are out, good heavens, Inter Milan might have a tough time today, let’s take a look at the starting lineups for both teams.”

AC Milan’s 4-3-3 with two holding midfielders:

Goalkeeper: Buffon,

Defenders: Zambrotta, Godin, Thiago Silva, Ramos,

Midfielders: Van Bommel, Kaka, Rakitic,

Forwards: Huang Kaiwen, van Persie, Messi.

Inter Milan’s 4-4-2 with two holding midfielders and two wingers:

Goalkeeper: Cesar,

Defenders: Yuto Nagatomo, Samuel, Lucio, Maicon,

Midfielders: Ricardo Alvarez, Motta, Cambiasso, Sannetti,

Forwards: Pazzini, Diego Milito.

”For AC Milan, Nesta is absent due to injury, but this lineup is ridiculously luxurious, Ibrahimovic and Torres are healthy and sitting on the bench.”

”Yes, Guardiola clearly prefers van Persie, but he is managing the rotation of the three forwards quite well.”

”Inter Milan has shifted their defensive focus to the right side today, with captain Sannetti playing as a right midfielder, forming a corridor with Maicon. This is a setup targeting Huang Kaiwen.”

”It’s said Inter Milan wants Chelsea’s defender Hummels, but Chelsea’s asking price of 65 million Euros for Hummels is too much for Inter Milan to afford.”

”Sneijder is not starting today; Inter Milan’s explanation is that he is injured, but we can see Sneijder from the stands.”

”Both teams’ players have returned to the tunnel.”

Daniele Osato is officiating today’s match.

He is one of the referees being developed by the Italian Football Federation.

The older generation of referees mostly fell during the Calciopoli scandal, and these young ones are rising up.

Huang Kaiwen walked out of the tunnel with the referee team.

He immediately saw the serious face of Sannetti.

This time, the Inter Milan captain didn’t complain, just handed over the team flag.

After exchanging flags, Huang Kaiwen gestured for Sannetti to call the coin toss first.

Sannetti didn’t hesitate.

The advantage of choosing sides in the afternoon game is significant.

He preferred not to be polite, giving his team a better chance to win.

”Heads!”

Sannetti said.

Osato tossed the coin and deftly caught it with his left hand, quickly covering it with his right.

With excellent dynamic vision, Huang Kaiwen already saw the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius.

Osato removed his right hand and said, ”Tails, AC Milan first.”

”We’ll choose the field!”

Huang Kaiwen said directly.

Sannetti’s expression turned even more bitter.

It seemed he had never won a coin toss against Huang Kaiwen.

Both teams’ players returned to their respective halves for warm-ups.

The atmosphere at San Siro had reached its peak today, but not the peak of the world.

The whole world anticipated Messi’s appearance in this match.

Countless fans wanted to see the effect of Huang Kaiwen and Messi soaring together on the wings.

Some fans even abandoned their home team’s simultaneously starting match to watch this Milan Derby.

At 3:30 p.m., referee Osato blew the starting whistle.

Pazzini passed the kick-off to Milito.

Milito immediately played it back.

Cambiasso took the ball and continued to pass it back.

Sneijder’s form was declining fast, and without him on the pitch, Inter Milan’s organization could only depend on Maicon.

Cambiasso’s organizational ability is pretty good for a holding midfielder.

But compared to midfielders like Xabi Alonso and Pirlo, it falls short.

Just as Maicon received the ball on the right, he saw a flash before his eyes.

Because he saw a player in a red and black striped shirt cutting through Sannetti directly!

When he got a clear look, it turned out to be Huang Kaiwen.

Damn it!

Maicon cursed silently in his heart.

This damn speed was so fast it made him dizzy.

By this time, Huang Kaiwen was already in front of him, so Maicon didn’t dare be careless.

His two-handed dribble and speed couldn’t lose Huang Kaiwen.

Having just taken possession of the ball, Maicon, surprisingly chose to face the sideline in his own half to prevent Huang Kaiwen from intercepting.

A number of Brazilian fans gasped.

Huang Kaiwen’s intimidation is truly strong.

Directly causing the world’s top right-back to not dare dribble forward.

Lucio quickly came over to provide support.

Yet Maicon couldn’t find an opportunity to pass.

Huang Kaiwen wasn’t even marking tightly, but Maicon felt an immense pressure.

Maicon attempted a heel pass, but before he could pass, Huang Kaiwen had already extended his leg, completely blocking the pass route to Lucio.

This was the result of intercepting the ball from the king, boosting his reaction speed.

Feeling frustrated for not finding an opportunity, Maicon angrily turned around and kicked the ball against Huang Kaiwen to get a throw-in.

To his surprise, Huang Kaiwen sidestepped, and the ball struck hard between Lucio’s legs, slightly brushed against Huang Kaiwen’s thigh as it went out of bounds.

It was Inter Milan’s throw-in.
