After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!-Chapter 87 - 0085 has no weaknesses

The meeting room erupted in cheers.

After the cheering subsided,

Benitez waved his hand and said, "Kevin’s hospitalization is good news, but it could also be a smokescreen from Milan. Manchester United was duped by them before. Milan’s coach Ancelotti is a very cunning guy, so we need to prepare for both possibilities."

"Alright, Rafa’s right," someone said.

"Ferguson was fooled badly before."

"It’s surprising to see Ancelotti, who looks honest, is also so scheming."

"Okay, let’s continue with the meeting,"

Benitez reminded them.

The data analyst, Alessandro, continued playing with the slides and said, "Let’s continue analyzing the traits of Milan’s key players."

"Kaka’s dribbling speed is very fast, and he has the capability to change direction, pass, and shoot from long range while sprinting. The best way to stop Kaka is to prevent him from starting. Once Kaka gets going, we need to be wary of the protection in front of the penalty area and not give him too much space."

The slide then showed a hexagon.

On each of the six points of the hexagon were written: strength, speed, body, dribbling, technique, defense.

Kaka’s metrics represented those of a typical offensive player.

Strength 3, speed 5, body 3, dribbling 4, technique 4, defense 2.

It formed an irregular hexagon.

Following that,

a photo of Huang Kaiwen appeared again.

The data analyst, Alessandro, played a clip of Huang Kaiwen rushing onto the field and the Milan versus Regina match.

In that match, the "experience card" was Caniggia. Huang Kaiwen came on as a substitute for over 20 minutes, providing two assists.

More importantly, his outwitting maneuvers and various techniques during the match were impressive.

The rainbow flick he pulled off in that match was particularly spectacular.

The fried meatballs had no smell of gunpowder.

The assistant coach said, "We haven’t actually tested it, so we can’t be sure about Kevin’s specific speed, but one thing is clear, his 100-meter speed is definitely under 10 seconds!"

The meeting room gasped in surprise.

Youth team coach Vasco Seabra cursed outright, "Fuck, that makes him way faster than Michael Owen."

A player’s speed isn’t constant.

But Michael Owen’s peak was also around 10.5 seconds.

"Damn it, why doesn’t he go compete in the Olympics with that speed?"

"Did Milan recruit a sprinter, or should we invite Bolt for a trial?"

"Forget it, that guy is a Manchester United fan."

"What do we do, Kevin too fast, and it’s difficult for our defense to manage him."

Alessandro didn’t miss a chance to add, "Kevin’s ability to change direction at high speed with the ball is stronger than Kaka’s, and his technique is also superior. So far, no one has been able to disrupt his fried meatballs."

As he said this, he played a highlight reel of Milan’s match against Juventus.

The "experience card" for that game was Sindelar.

Huang Kaiwen showcased a double hat-trick.

The meeting room filled with a collective inhale of breath.

A single player can indeed create six goals.

Even if he can’t achieve a double hat-trick every time, but initiating attacks and posing threats is also very helpful for the team, there’ve been players who had outstanding single-match performances, not inferior to Huang Kaiwen.

But, it also depends on the opponent.

Milan’s opponent was Juventus, one of the top teams in the world.

Liverpool can’t claim to be stronger than Juventus.

Especially that last goal.

Huang Kaiwen dribbled past six Juventus players in succession, fooling Buffon with a final flick and lift of the ball, a marvelous one-man show.

The Liverpool meeting room fell silent in an instant.

Performing a double hat-trick against Juventus, Huang Kaiwen scored such an unbelievable goal. Why would Liverpool even bother playing? They might as well just surrender.

Benitez rubbed his head vigorously and after a long silence, finally spoke to break the quiet of the meeting room.

"If he plays in the final, we need to assign someone specifically to mark him. Let Steven (Gerrard) also go help with the defense. I don’t believe he can shake off the close guarding of two players."

The data analyst, Alessandro, played the UEFA Champions League match between Milan and Eindhoven, featuring highlights of Huang Kaiwen.

In that match, the experience card was [Trezeguet], where Huang Kaiwen skillfully executed a hat-trick with both head and foot.

Alessandro said, "Although Kevin’s technique is magnificent, his heading ability is also very strong. When he can’t find a way to score, he’ll choose to rush into the box and contest headers—an aspect all teams have failed to guard against."

"So, you’re saying he has no weaknesses in attack?"

"Yes," Alessandro nodded grimly.

He fiddled with the mouse for a while, then produced a piece of data.

It was an official Serie A statistic.

Huang Kaiwen averages 77 touches and 60 passes per 90 minutes with a 94% pass accuracy rate. He attempts to dribble past opponents 11.2 times, succeeding 8.87 times with a success rate of 79.19%, the highest in the top five European leagues.

Every 90 minutes, the number of threat-creating actions reaches an astounding 8.2 times.

Such data seemed almost absurd.

Since Gerrard’s threat per 90 minutes was only 3.12.

And Alonso, who plays deeper, had even less, only 1.87.

Despite their different styles, this also proved Huang Kaiwen’s strength.

Although Huang Kaiwen does not lead Europe in threat passes, his conversion rate for these passes is very high.

He is not like some players who blindly slide balls through, regardless of whether their teammates can receive them or not.

Seeing all these data about Huang Kaiwen...

The Liverpool coaching staff felt a cold shiver.

Where did this monster come from?

Now, they even doubted whether Liverpool would be like a sieve if Huang Kaiwen were to play.

Looking at his astonished colleagues...

Alessandro played another compilation.

It wasn’t from a single match, but featured moments of Huang Kaiwen’s passing and shooting.

All were in slow motion.

In the video, whenever anyone pressed Huang, whether he was passing or shooting, he didn’t adjust.

Even so...

The quality of his passes and shots remained very high.

The meeting room was utterly silent.

Then came the second leg of Milan vs. Eindhoven in the UEFA Champions League, which he played in the [Gullit] experience card.

Huang Kaiwen rarely engaged in physical contests with opponents a few times, and his success rate was very high.

Meanwhile, Alessandro kept playing the video.

It was from a Milan against Manchester United match, where Huang Kaiwen’s experience card was [Cesare Maldini].

"Kevin is an offensive genius, but that doesn’t mean he can’t defend. In the match against Manchester United, he completed 7 tackles, 5 of which were successful, and among those, 3 were against Manchester United’s genius Cristiano Ronaldo. In that match, he cleared the ball 4 times, blocked 2 shots, intercepted once, made 3 tackles, succeeded in 2, and regained possession 6 times... Even against strong teams, he participates in defense. I think when he previously wasn’t defending, it’s just that those opponents weren’t worth defending against," said Alessandro.

Alessandro did not keep everyone in suspense, clicking the mouse again.

A hexagon of Huang Kaiwen’s abilities appeared before them.

Strength 5, speed 5, physique 5, dribbling 5, technique 5, defense 5.

Alessandro spoke emphatically, "Kevin is a perfect hexagon, with no weaknesses at all."
