Baldini watched Huang Kaiwen run smoothly as if he was not injured, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
If Huang Kaiwen were injured, he wouldn’t be able to get through this match and the second leg.
Capello was in the stands, making adjustments was too troublesome, and the situation on the field did not wait for anyone.
Baldini knew his level well, he was no match for Ancelotti.
Even if Huang Kaiwen wasn’t injured, he should still remind the referee team.
Franco Baldini walked to the sidelines and complained to the assistant referee, "Milan’s defense is too barbaric, they simply want to kill Kevin. What is the main referee doing? He should restrict the Milan players. Kevin is one of the best players in the world. If he gets hurt, none of us will have an easy time!"
"I will relay it to the main referee."
The assistant referee said expressionlessly.
If you want to complain to the main referee, then yell at the field.
All those coaches know this trick, why bother talking to him?
The players from both sides returned to midfield, and Gattuso specifically came up to explain, "Kevin, sorry about earlier, I didn’t think too much, just focused on intercepting the ball."
"No worries."
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile, "Of course, we fight for victory on the field, off the field we’re still friends, we can’t slack just because we get along, neither can I nor you."
"Right, that’s what I meant. I’ll be more careful, but sometimes you can’t be mindful when defending, if I kick you by mistake, I’ll apologize later," Gattuso said.
Gattuso added.
"Just be careful, even if Kevin doesn’t mind, you can’t injure Kevin, right?" Kaka said discontentedly.
"Of course, I won’t intentionally hurt Kevin, but while playing, you really can’t control it," Gattuso explained.
"No worries, Gennaro is right. He wouldn’t foul maliciously on purpose; if I really get hurt, it’s my own problem. If you’re afraid of getting hurt from contact, you shouldn’t be playing soccer," said Huang Kaiwen as he patted Gattuso’s shoulder and smiled, "The match is starting, we can talk more during the break."
Milan started organizing after kickoff.
Pirlo made a direct pass and Kaka launched another assault with the ball.
Kaka’s dribbling speed was very quick, Guti could not even stretch out his leg before being surpassed.
De Jong and Diarra rushed at Kaka together; Kaka didn’t hold onto the ball but quickly knocked it sideways. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Jankulovski received the pass and immediately twisted his body, passing the ball back to the middle.
Pepe rushed up and poked the ball behind Kaka, De Jong hooked the ball from the pivoting Kaka in front of him and passed it forward.
Guti, standing at the center circle, extended his left foot sideways, using the back of his foot to smoothly guide the ball past and turned around, not waiting to stabilize, already saw the chance, and flicked his left foot, poking behind the ball.
Crack—
The ball quickly zoomed towards the left front field.
Huang Kaiwen reached out his right foot in his run and nudged the ball forward, advancing along the sideline with the ball.
Pirlo and Gattuso rushed towards the sideline together; they didn’t want to give Huang Kaiwen any opportunity.
Odo also rushed up.
Huang Kaiwen had barely crossed the midfield when he already had as many as three defenders around him.
But even so, it didn’t offer the Rossoneri any sense of security.
Especially the Milan fans sitting nearby, none of them dared to blink, each of them straining their necks, hands nervously clasped together.
They understand Huang Kaiwen’s threat far better than the Real Madrid fans.
Having number ten as the opponent is simply a nightmare for Milan fans.
Gattuso and Pirlo who roamed by Huang Kaiwen’s wing chased back waiting for a chance, Odo blocked in front of Huang Kaiwen running sideway.
Huang Kaiwen, sandwiched by three players, was squeezed all the way to the nearby left sideline, then he suddenly twisted his right foot outward to stop the ball, Odo unguarded, dashed to the sideline then spun back toward Huang Kaiwen.
Huang Kaiwen suddenly sped up, bypassing Odo and Gattuso, successfully breaking free.
Pirlo, running on the outermost side, was not much affected in his balance.
He followed Huang Kaiwen back, seeing Huang Kaiwen prepare to cut inside, Pirlo rushed up extending his right foot.
Kevin feigned a move, shaking his shoulders and pretending to tap the ball with the outside of his right foot, Pirlo followed moving towards the penalty area line; Huang Kaiwen’s right foot swept over the ball performing a half-stepover, and he quickly flicked the ball with his left foot toward the end line.
By the near end line, Huang Kaiwen left-footed the ball and suddenly stopped turning around, a fully sprinting Gattuso twisted his body to adjust his center of gravity, his cleats scratching long marks on the turf, still, he fell outside the penalty area.
Nesta timed his slide tackle perfectly, Huang Kaiwen pulled the ball to a sudden stop again, then rapidly scooped under the ball with his right foot.
Crack—
The ball from the left end line quickly flew towards the arc’s top, Maldini leaped and stretched his foot kicking the ball out to the sideline in front of Raul, Marcelo reached out his foot but missed, and the ball flew out of bounds.
"Wow, Huang Kaiwen’s dribbling is really hard to defend, Milan’s defense appears very ragged in front of him," said one commentator.
"It’s the same issue; Huang Kaiwen’s style is elusive, hehe, it’s so hard to defend."
"Yes, Milan players should be the batch that knows Huang Kaiwen the best. But in this attack, when Huang Kaiwen had the ball on the left wing, his dribbling was very much like Brazilian players, Ronaldo, the older Ronaldo, most notably his shoulder movement during dribbling, really shakes the defender off," another stated.
"Right, that Huang Kaiwen’s style is versatile goes without saying; he often changes his pace and shooting posture too. If you watch ten games of Huang Kaiwen you’ll notice, only a small part of his maneuvers repeat, like Huang Kaiwen’s formerly favorite fried meatballs, the frequency of use has significantly reduced in the last year, showing just how determined Huang Kaiwen is," said the commentator.
