After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!
Chapter 1904 - 503: Secret Technique: S-Curve Shot
If they’re eliminated today, "World Sports News" wouldn’t even hesitate to write what they’d write.
He’s earning 8 million salary, not damn 80 million!
Even a good-natured person can lose their temper.
Messi walked towards the center circle with his head down.
But his clenched fists never loosened.
Even if it’s just to avoid seeing those bastards write about him in the papers, he’s going to give it his all.
There are 7 minutes left in regulation time, plus injury time, enough to score a goal.
Let’s fight for a draw first, and deal with the rest later.
Barca restarted the match.
Ibrahimovic went straight for Messi.
Even if Messi hadn’t received the ball yet.
Pedro quickly carried the ball forward.
Messi ran forward with him, Ibrahimovic took one glance but stayed put.
Iniesta moved to the left wing, following his teammates, looking for opportunities to respond.
But Milan opted for full defense, making it hard for them to find a good opportunity.
Iniesta received the ball and immediately passed it to Messi.
Messi got the ball and saw Villa already being marked by Zambrotta, so he just decided to move forward with the ball himself.
With his right foot, he lightly avoided Rakitic’s foot, followed by a left-foot maneuver, leaving Ramos empty-handed.
Van Bommel rushed forward, and Messi squeezed past him with a fried meatball trick.
Van Bommel grabbed Messi’s jersey, and after running a few steps together, Messi fell to the ground.
"There’s no problem giving a yellow card for this foul."
"Yes, but this position is still a bit dangerous."
"Barca made a substitution, Dutch winger Afellay replaced Pedro, Pedro played very well today, providing Messi lots of support."
"Right, but let’s see how Barca handles this ball."
Iniesta approached the spot of the foul.
With Xavi off the field, he can also take the free kick.
Villa is equally skilled at free kicks.
But after Messi stood up, he said: "I’ll take it."
Villa walked away directly, knowing Messi had practiced free kicks many times.
This teammate’s free kick skill has improved very quickly.
"You’re taking it, Leo?"
Iniesta asked.
"Yes, I’ll do it."
Messi nodded and said.
"Alright, then try to score."
Iniesta nodded and said.
Messi stood at the foul spot.
He picked up the ball and carefully wiped it with the inside of his jersey, wiped it twice before placing it on the ground.
Back when he practiced free kicks, he watched many top players’ videos.
But what he watched most was Huang Kaiwen’s free kicks.
Because with Huang Kaiwen’s free kicks, you can find any angle or method to kick.
Messi carefully recalled the left-foot curve ball he practiced before, trying to awaken the muscle memory from those repeated practices.
Bufon, standing in front of the goal, was like a mountain blocking his way.
Although he had broken through the opponent’s defense several times, Bufon had saved his shots even more.
A few seconds later, Messi heard the whistle.
He took a breath and directly started his run-up, using the inside of his left foot to lift the ball from below.
The ball, with a noticeable curve, soared over the wall, and Buffon leapt to the side, but quickly realized it wouldn’t be enough, as this ball was higher than he expected.
Duang——
The ball hit the underside of the crossbar, but Buffon, lying on the grass, felt no relief at all.
As a top goalkeeper, he knew from the ball’s position that it would inevitably bounce towards the goal line inside.
The silent Camp Nou finally erupted with joy.
The towering, steep stands seemed to relax a bit.
After scoring, Messi ran a few steps and looked excitedly towards Huang Kaiwen.
Huang Kaiwen smiled and gave a thumbs-up, making Messi’s smile even brighter.
Hero admired hero, nothing more than that.
Even Luis Enrique somewhat regretted subbing on Afellay so early.
Now it’s more vital to strengthen defense and try to drag the game into extra time.
When the game goes into extra time, their continued passing and receiving can exhaust the opponent’s physical strength for a better chance of winning.
But it’s not too late yet.
Luis Enrique turned back to have the majority of players warm up.
On one hand, preparing for sudden situations.
On the other hand, they could use the last substitution to delay time.
"Sorry, it’s my fault!"
Buffon stretched out his right arm and shouted at Huang Kaiwen.
Huang Kaiwen smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Conceding is always a team’s issue, plus this ball was in the dead zone."
This response made Buffon slightly stunned.
Back at Juventus, Pirlo that bastard always put pressure on them.
Huang Kaiwen’s words made Buffon once again feel the difference in Milan.
He looked down at the dirt on his gloves and silently motivated himself.
Only by becoming a better goalkeeper can he be worthy of such teammates!
"Forza Milan!!!"
After conceding a goal, Milan’s half echoed with slogans.
Rosen jersey fans in the stands sang the team song.
The red and black legion faced adversity in a posture completely different from the home team.
Watching them made you feel the strength rooted in this team.
Even the Catalonian commentator couldn’t help but admire AC Milan’s mental state.
Not long after the kickoff, Zambrotta charged to the front.
Van Bommel sent a through ball, Zambrotta was ready to dash for the ball.
Huang Kaiwen behind him rushed forward and took the ball directly, attacking Barca’s defense.
Alves and Mascherano together moved to defend the flank.
But the numerical advantage only provided them with a bit of security.
Huang Kaiwen sidled sideways like a crab, dribbling the ball continuously, with such posture, tightening the nerves of the two Barca defenders.
