Chapter 291: 0161 Heaven Does Not Help the Yuan Family (Seeking Subscriptions)
[Ding, acquired the 2021-2022 Premier League, Manchester United vs Tottenham, Van de Beek experience card]
Boom ——
Huang Kaiwen’s mind buzzed.
Freaking hell.
He finally got screwed, right?
His luck had been pretty good lately.
Huang Kaiwen even thought he was becoming invincible and was getting ready to go on a killing spree in Las Vegas this summer.
Today, Van de Beek really slapped him with a big one.
Now Milan is still trailing with a total score of 0:2.
This really is having your roof leak on a rainy night, with a hot potato coming at the critical moment.
Even his mentor Teng Zi couldn’t save [Van de Beek].
[Van de Beek], as a Dutch player, had a solid foundation.
He didn’t have any significant weaknesses all around.
In his early days, receiving the ball and turning around in a small area, shooting without adjusting.
He debuted as a defensive midfielder, had protection nearby, and secured his place with decent passing and vision.
Because De Jong came, he moved to an attacking midfielder where [Van de Beek] cleverly moved forward, producing some good stats.
But in reality, by that time [Van de Beek]’s weaknesses were very apparent.
His dribbling wasn’t strong, needing teammates upfront to attract the defense.
Most of the time, he’d pass the ball as soon as he got it, good pass ability but also showed he was hesitant to hold the ball.
Seldom did he go past opponents.
After moving to Manchester United, he was even more of a hot potato.
On the defensive end, his positioning was passable, and while his tackling was occasionally sharp, he mostly relied on positioning to tackle; lacking defensive skills, he could only commit fouls in the attacking half.
He was a typical wingman.
Even during his best periods, he needed a very high level of tactical freedom and his teammates’ cover, and the demands on his teammates’ off-ball movement were also very high.
Because back then, many top clubs wanted [Van de Beek].
Huang Kaiwen did some research specifically for this.
Today, it came in handy.
Understanding the characteristics of [Van de Beek].
He felt less desperate.
Both the Yellow Submarine and Milan didn’t have the quick attack-defense speed of the later Premier League era.
[Van de Beek] actually had some room to perform.
And [Van de Beek]’s ball control was excellent; he could solidly stop the ball with his foot outstretched, which was a plus.
After changing his clothes,
Huang Kaiwen went up to Pirlo and whispered, "My body hasn’t recovered yet; I’m not too keen on running. If you’re passing me the ball, don’t put it too far ahead."
[Van de Beek] couldn’t catch up if Pirlo’s pass was too forward.
Hearing Huang Kaiwen’s words, Pirlo’s eyes widened and he asked, "You haven’t healed? Then we should tell the coach to adjust the starting lineup."
"No need, I know what I’m doing."
Huang Kaiwen patted Pirlo’s shoulder and said.
"Alright then."
Pirlo nodded with a worried look.
Huang Kaiwen also explained a bit to Kaka, who had a great understanding with him; with just a few words, Kaka understood.
During the warm-up,
it also proved Huang Kaiwen’s judgment of [Van de Beek].
Damnit.
Apart from stopping the ball, there was nothing particularly outstanding.
Luckily, Villarreal didn’t know his technical characteristics today.
Looks like the only way is to use this advantage to catch the opponent off guard.
The night owls in the forum also qualified as die-hard fans.
They noticed Huang Kaiwen’s odd behavior almost immediately.
"Is Huang Kaiwen a bit sluggish today? He was slower than usual the last two times he ran to pick up the ball."
"Is he injured?"
"Injured? More like faking it. I always feel like Huang Kaiwen is holding something back."
"Probably not injured. Look at Huang Kaiwen’s control, just the arch of his foot smoothly steadies the ball, top-notch even on a global scale."
"That’s good, good he’s not injured. Milan really can’t afford to miss Huang Kaiwen now."
"With the phone scandal blowing up, Huang Kaiwen wasn’t wrong; Milan is strong enough not needing any help from referees. Digging this up, the players are now worried about how many past matches might be problematic. It’s no exaggeration to say Milan is in a state of agitation."
"I read in the newspaper it’s all Gagliani’s fault, that bald guy seems to have a bunch of crimes too."
"Yeah, fucking Gagliani’s fault!"
Back in the tunnel,
each Milan player received a wristband.
Huang Kaiwen got two.
Ancelotti smiled and said, "Based on your feedback, this time I’ve put the receiving device inside the wristband, eliminating the problem of it sticking to your body and being airtight."
Huang Kaiwen nodded and put it on immediately.
There’s nothing much to explain to the coach.
The more you say, the more mistakes you make.
Talking too much might lead Fat Ancelotti into a discussion, then he’d use his vast knowledge on willpower to convince you.
So it’s better to listen to everything Ancelotti says.
Avoid the debate altogether.
The players followed the referees out onto the pitch.
After shaking hands with Pellegrini, Ancelotti immediately handed his backpack to assistant coach Tassotti and said, "That guy is from South America; my notes have a protective spell specifically against South American curses. You cast the spell first, we’ll preempt anything sneaky from him, while I set up machine number three."
Mauro Tassotti nodded, took out Ancelotti’s notes, and carefully studied each step.
Ancelotti crouched in the gap between the coach’s bench and the awning, secretly assembling his secret weapon.
With the help of the University of Milan,
Ancelotti had integrated Tesla coils, finally achieving "will power visualization"; watching the dazzling electrical arc, Ancelotti felt a wave of satisfaction.
If this keeps up,
in a few years, he might make Kevin an undying entity.
"Ancelotti is assembling the machine again." freēwēbnovel.com
"Hehe, today Ancelotti’s machine has changed again. Clearly, the broadcaster knows what the fans care about, purposely zooming in. Wow, what is this device?"
