After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!-Chapter 543 - 0228 Fan and Silk Kerchief Amidst Laughter (Request for Subscription)
Milan players returned to the center circle after celebrating.
Huang Kaiwen gave Kaka a thumbs-up.
Kaka revealed a brilliant smile.
Ibrahimovic crossed his arms over his chest, his eyes filled with Huang Kaiwen.
In Huang Kaiwen’s recent dribbling, he saw the shadow of Ronaldo.
Although Ronaldo had joined Milan during the winter break, he was now recuperating from an injury.
Even if he recovered, Ronaldo would not be able to return to his peak.
In contrast, Ibrahimovic felt as though he was seeing the omnipotent extraterrestrial when looking at Huang Kaiwen’s performance today.
No, it seemed stronger than the peak Ronaldo!
Ibrahimovic sighed, reckoning that once Ronaldo retired, it looked like Zlatan could only contend for second best in the football world.
Ancelotti also sighed as he watched the game resume.
Having coached Huang Kaiwen for two years, he was all too familiar with his style.
It was good that Milan scored first, but retaining the lead until the end would be difficult.
Today Kaka had even refused to wear gloves; only his shoes contained the wish power receptacles, which meant receiving wish power was less than optimal.
Plus, the development of the network wish power technology was not progressing well, which worried Ancelotti.
Choosing Gattuso to mark Huang Kaiwen was because of Gattuso’s tenacity in battle.
Sometimes Gattuso seemed clumsy, yet he could slow down the opponent’s pace, waiting for teammates to provide support, or he would find an opportunity to poke the ball away himself; he was more suitable for defending Huang Kaiwen than Ambrosini.
On the forward line.
With Ronaldo injured, Toni was better suited for a two-striker formation.
Ibrahimovic was indeed the best choice, but his temper was a problem.
The Real Madrid defenders were all quite aggressive; if Ibrahimovic couldn’t hold back, he’d be at a disadvantage. Using Inzaghi to constantly try the offside line could also provoke the restless Real Madrid defenders into making mistakes.
As for the defense, it was currently the best combination they could field.
All that could be done had been done; now, it was time to play it by ear.
Suddenly, Ancelotti thought of something.
He turned his head and asked Tassotti, "Have you found that scheming rascal Capello?"
"We haven’t spotted him yet. It’s possible he’s in disguise," Tassotti replied.
"Damn it, who knows what he’s up to? I always feel that bastard is plotting something," Ancelotti said with a grave expression.
"Yes, we’re all familiar with Capello’s character. He’s definitely in San Siro," Tassotti then said, "but we’ve searched everywhere—stands and boxes—and haven’t found him. Where could he be?"
"Security may not be reliable," Ancelotti frowned and added, "Barbara might not necessarily be on our side. Forget it, he can’t hide forever. Get someone dependable to take a look, he’s definitely at San Siro."
"Okay, I’ll go now," Tassotti said with a nod.
Milan was on the attack on the field, and Pirlo sent a pass to Gattuso.
Loud applause erupted from the stands.
"Saint Kevin!"
"Saint Kevin!"
"Saint Kevin!"
The Milan fans stood up and clapped, and the Real Madrid fans followed suit.
The clamor of San Siro Stadium echoed throughout Milan City.
With the ball at his feet, Gattuso leisurely pushed it to Kaka, who simply kicked the ball out of play.
Guti quickly stretched out a foot to block and nudged the ball across the end line, then turned to Kaka with a thumbs-up, saying, "Ball’s yours."
"Ten minutes into the game and the whole stadium applauds Huang Kaiwen. In just two years, Huang Kaiwen has become an essential part of San Siro Stadium. From the fans’ reactions, it’s clear they very much hope Huang Kaiwen can return to AC Milan," the commentator remarked.
"Huang Kaiwen’s girlfriend is now the president of AC Milan, heh, so I think his story with AC Milan isn’t over yet. Maybe one day, the number ten jersey of AC Milan will return to the field," another added.
"Neither team seemed eager to resume play immediately. Jankulovski was warned by the referee for delaying the throw-in, but no card was given. Football is not just about the game; there’s a lot more to it. Such a heartwarming scene also reminds us why we’re devoted to the sport," the first commentator noted.
"Yes, Dida and Kaka were especially enthusiastic in their applause. In that famous fireworks derby, Huang Kaiwen shielded Dida from the fireworks that fell from the stands. Dida later admitted in an interview that he was unable to concentrate for a while, frequently afraid of being injured by objects thrown from the stands. It was Huang Kaiwen who encouraged him to overcome his fears. Such incidents kept happening in the dressing rooms of Milan or Real Madrid, which is why Huang Kaiwen has such a good reputation. Both the entire Milan team and most of the Real Madrid players speak highly of him," the second analyst elaborated.
"Alright, the 10th minute has passed, and AC Milan has made the throw-in," the commentator followed up.
Ambrosini received the ball and passed it back.
Pirlo saw that Real Madrid’s defensive line was pushed forward and decisively curled his right foot under the ball.
Thump—
Ramos turned and raced back, as the ball crossed over his head toward the front of the penalty area.
Inzaghi suddenly darted forward in a sprint.
El Guerra ran alongside Inzaghi, who, while running, suddenly turned around and extended his foot, nudging the descending ball back to Kaka.
Kaka flicked the ball with his right foot and then swung his leg for a shot, the ball just missing the right post.
"Inzaghi’s run was very clever, and Kaka nearly got it with that kick," the commentator exclaimed.
"Indeed, this season Kaka’s scored a lot from distance, Real Madrid has to be careful with that," the analyst pointed out.
Capello, standing at the entrance to the tunnel, watched Milan’s relentless counterattacks but still kept a faint smile on his face.
He was wearing a scarf around his head, a Han-style crane mantle ordered from Raven E-Commerce, and he gently fanned himself with the feather fan in his hand.
