After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!
Chapter 1888 - 500: Guardiola Out
Maldini asked.
The second son beside him also stared wide-eyed at Huang Kaiwen.
Lately, Daniel has already sensed his problem.
He wants to be the next Huang Kaiwen, but his talent is not that outstanding.
Many technical moves, some young players with good ball sense have become quite adept at by this period.
But Daniel just doesn’t have that ability.
This makes him realize Huang Kaiwen’s impressive skills even more.
"I don’t know either."
Huang Kaiwen sighed and said.
He doesn’t have a good feeling about Milan’s situation today.
It’s not that Milan isn’t strong, but Dream Team III is just too powerful.
Guardiola’s Milan tactical system isn’t as complete as Dream Team III’s, and it’s a bit awkward.
Facing such top-tier teams is indeed a bit of a test.
The game started with circumstances pretty much as Huang Kaiwen expected.
In terms of ball possession, Milan was completely no match for Barça, resulting in few attacking opportunities. Luckily, Nesta and Godin performed excellently, and Barça didn’t find many chances either.
Yet shortly after the second half began, Nesta got injured during a tackle.
Guardiola was forced to bring on Thiago Silva.
Thiago Silva was also excellent, but experience-wise, far inferior to Nesta.
Huang Kaiwen sighed and said, "This might be the turning point of the game."
To stop Messi, one really needs Nesta.
Maldini nodded along.
Valentina squirmed restlessly in Huang Kaiwen’s arms; for a kid, a football match is somewhat boring.
Maria reprimanded, "Tina, don’t be a nuisance!"
She certainly didn’t want to leave a bad impression in front of Huang Kaiwen.
Even though she is still young, Maria already understood a truth: every family member represents the family’s face; a sister’s embarrassment isn’t good for her either.
Huang Kaiwen smiled and said, "It’s okay."
A few minutes later, Afellay delivered a low cross from the right, and Messi successfully attacked from the center to break Milan’s goal.
This goal rendered San Siro Stadium silent.
In Messi’s career, such a goal counts as relatively less impressive, but today Milan was suppressed by Barça in ball possession and shots, which the Rossoneri found hard to accept.
Even when Huang Kaiwen hadn’t returned, they had crushed the formidable Real Madrid.
But now, they’re completely overwhelmed by Real Madrid’s nemesis?
This season, Real Madrid and Barça have been tit for tat.
Could it be Mourinho’s strength that elevated Real Madrid to a new level?
Or did Guardiola’s weakness significantly worsen Milan?
Such silence at San Siro is exceedingly rare.
But it’s not over yet.
In the 80th minute, Messi received Busquets’ pass, sprinted a long distance, evaluated Milan’s defense, and scored again, completely shattering Milan’s defense.
Assist of the century!
Huang Kaiwen sighed.
Knowing today’s game was hopeless.
Even though later Kaka made a long-distance run and scored a goal with a long shot.
But god-like Messi cooperated with Pedro and pulled off a hat-trick, completely dominating the game.
3:1 is not an exaggerated score.
But for Milan, it was hard to swallow.
Sparse sounds rose at San Siro, gradually spreading throughout the stadium.
"Guardiola, out!"
"Guardiola, out!"
"Guardiola, out!"
Facing the most painful defeat in seven years, the Rossoneri have lost patience with Guardiola.
Finally, the score settled at 3:1, and a rare instance of turning against the team unfolded at San Siro.
Guardiola didn’t thank the fans and directly entered the players’ tunnel.
At the post-match press conference.
Guardiola and Luis Enrique, the two old teammates, sat together, with Ambrosini and Puyol, the two captains, perched beside the coaches.
The reporters were eager to ask questions.
"Pep, whose fault is today’s loss?"
"Massimo, Barça got three away goals with a 3:1 score, can you guys win the second leg?"
"Mr. Guardiola, does this defeat signify that your tactics have completely failed?"
"Finally won against AC Milan; Carles, do you have any comments?"
"Luis, who do you think has a greater impact on this Barcelona, you or Pep?"
"..."
Today’s main issues focused on Barça, after all, Guardiola hailed from Barça as well.
First to speak, Luis Enrique said, "Such a score does not represent the true strength of the two teams; we don’t relax because of this; the second leg is key."
"Mr. Enrique, could Kevin be the key?"
A reporter asked.
"Of course, Kevin is very crucial; if he recovers and plays, the second leg will be much tougher."
Luis Enrique said.
"So, did you win today because Kevin was injured? Some say you paid Sampdoria to injure Kevin; in La Liga, there is indeed third-party bonuses."
A reporter from the United Kingdom said.
"Nonsense!"
Enrique angrily said, "This is all bullshit! Who said this, let him tell me! We will absolutely not let this thing go, and Barcelona Club reserves the right to sue those spreading rumors."
Intentionally injuring Huang Kaiwen.
Such an offense is something clubs generally cannot withstand.
Even for Barcelona, it wouldn’t be any better.
Indeed, they benefit from Huang Kaiwen’s injury, but they really didn’t give Sampdoria a bonus.
This matter absolutely cannot be admitted, as they indeed didn’t do it.
Seeing Enrique silence, the reporter turned to Guardiola and asked, "Pep, tell us about today’s match."
