After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!-Chapter 1029 - 0336 Mourinho: Where are my players (Please subscribe)_2
A shot at 200 kilometers per hour sounds like a myth.
Although some media claim that for the sake of his opponent’s safety, Huang Kaiwen doesn’t easily make such fast shots.
However, Howard felt that against such an outstanding goalkeeper like him, Huang Kaiwen might break this rule.
Clad in the first away kit, Huang Kaiwen stood there.
Black shirt, black shorts, black socks, only his boots were not black, adding a splash of color to the austere world.
Even with a substantial lead, Huang Kaiwen didn’t take this opportunity lightly.
Looking at the serious expression on his face, one might think Chelsea was the trailing side. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
It’s precisely this demeanor that makes Everton fans more worried.
Damn.
Leading by so much, can’t they relax a bit?
Under the influence of Huang Kaiwen, the Chelsea players were also very meticulous about their positioning in the penalty area.
Ramos was ready to dash into the wall at any moment.
Drogba stood in the center.
Deco and Mata, two technically gifted players with no particular height or physical advantage, stood outside waiting for a second attack.
Referee Phil Dowd couldn’t help but become more serious.
Beep——
The whistle blew, and Huang Kaiwen started his run-up.
After two steps, his left foot planted, subtly brushing the ball from underneath with his left foot.
The Everton wall jumped up.
The ball and the height of the wall were almost identical, with the ball curving between Yobo and Jagielka’s heads. By the time Howard spotted the ball, it was too late; even managing to attempt a save in this scenario was quite exceptional.
The ball wasn’t exceedingly fast, but it left Howard with too little time, and once again he watched the ball drill into the top left corner of the goal.
The look of despair on the Everton goalkeeper’s face was transmitted into thousands of homes via satellite signal.
In the stadium, the Toffee fans began to rise one after another in disappointment.
"Huang Kaiwen!"
"Another free kick."
"If you don’t foul, he can charge into the box and shoot himself; if you do foul, he gets a free kick. It’s unsolvable, really."
"Yes, recently I’ve noticed that in games with Huang Kaiwen, opponents often leave early."
"Huang Kaiwen is too aggressive, scoring too many goals, so as fans of Chelsea’s opponents, they surely don’t want to stay and watch their team get demolished. Even if it’s at home and they’re four goals behind, there isn’t much hope."
"Indeed, today’s match is basically without suspense."
"Boas is calling Malouda up now; he probably intends to substitute Huang Kaiwen, right?"
That’s what the Chelsea players thought too.
But a few minutes later, Malouda replaced Drogba instead.
Mata moved into a midfield position.
Chelsea transitioned to a formation without a striker.
Standing on the sideline, Boas noticed that Drogba was not very active today and, due to Huang Kaiwen covering a large range, he chose to make this substitution.
With only Deco and Mikel in midfield, they were at a numerical disadvantage.
In the 71st minute, Osman cramped up while running and collapsed at the sideline, with Huang Kaiwen kicking the ball out.
Moyes replaced Osman with Van der Meyde.
This once Inter Milan superstar received an enthusiastic welcome from the home fans, obviously hoping Van der Meyde could bring some changes.
"Van der Meyde has been at Everton for more than three seasons. In his first five games for them, Everton achieved 4 wins and 1 loss, but in these more than three seasons, he has only made 14 appearances for Everton in total."
"Yes, Van der Meyde has been frequently troubled by injuries and has also had problems with coach Moyes."
"Getting a chance to play is still good; hopefully, Van der Meyde can quickly regain his form."
Huang Kaiwen also saw Van der Meyde.
The opponent’s mental state and physique made Huang Kaiwen shake his head.
Van der Meyde was once compared to Figo.
Apart from issues with career planning, Van der Meyde also got entangled in drugs and alcohol problems.
If he can still play well under those conditions, it would defy logic.
Everton returned possession, with Deco making a horizontal pass at midfield. Mata spotted Huang Kaiwen’s position and immediately sent a through ball.
With a flick of his right foot, Huang Kaiwen easily evaded Neville, and as he dribbled diagonally towards the edge of the box, he swung his right leg for a long shot.
Bam——
The ball moved at a high speed, but this time, Tim Howard performed excellently, diving promptly to tip the ball out of play.
This erratic goalkeeper isn’t without his merits; his reflexes are among the best in football, which initially attracted Manchester United’s attention.
This save sparked hope at Goodison Park.
"Tim!"
"Tim!"
"Tim!"
The Everton fans didn’t hold back their applause.
Usually, when they chant ’Tim’, they mean their striker Cahill, but Howard’s save was indeed brilliant just now.
On the away fans’ stand.
Lily pouted unhappily.
Though she knew these situations occur in football, she still couldn’t bear to see Huang Kaiwen’s shot saved.
Toni Poole put an arm around her shoulder and comforted her: "Let them be pleased for a minute, there’s a corner kick coming up."
"Kevin’s set-piece strategy is impressive," Vanessa said.
"Indeed," Lily nodded with a smile.
Anyone who praised Huang Kaiwen became her friend.
Hugging Lily’s shoulder, Poole couldn’t help but frown, feeling like Bridge’s girlfriend was deliberately trying to curry favor with Lily Collins.
...
"You taking the free kick, Kevin?"
Deco came up and asked.
"Forget it, you go ahead," Huang Kaiwen said.
With such strong physical presence, it would be a waste not to get into the box.
