After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!-Chapter 497 - 0217 Borrowing Arrows with Thatched Boats (Please Subscribe)_3

Capello heard the team doctor’s words, his face full of doubt.

Now, the biggest dissatisfaction with Real Madrid was with the medical team.

"Damn it, when others use an injection, it’s just to block the pain, not a direct recovery, and you’re telling me there’s no problem?"

Capello now suspected that when he hired the medical staff, they all faked their certificates to get the job at Real Madrid.

But he didn’t have a solution.

He could only emphasize to the players, "Now Barca is one man down, in the second half we strengthen the offensive and score more goals quickly to secure the match."

"Right, we score more goals, let Kevin rest earlier. For every extra minute he’s on the pitch, there’s more risk, which would be fine normally but today we can’t expect Kevin to play from start to finish."

Raul stood up and said, "Show some performance to prove you’re worthy of the Real Madrid jersey. Come on, Madrid!"

"Come on, Madrid!!!"

Outside the home team’s locker room.

After Rijkaard finished arranging the tactics, he stepped out for some air, and happened to bump into the assistant coach rushing back.

Rijkaard asked, "What did those people say, why can Kevin still move so actively on the pitch?"

The assistant coach looked around, pulled Rijkaard to an empty corner before quietly saying, "They showed me something, they should have real skills, but the conditions for casting the spell are quite harsh."

"What conditions?"

Rijkaard inquired.

By now, he had some understanding of witchcraft. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"It must either be Kevin’s blood, or the life of the person who wishes harm upon him."

The assistant coach said as he looked at Rijkaard.

Upon hearing this condition, he was frightened.

Following Rijkaard was just for a living, not worth sacrificing his life just to help Rijkaard win a match.

Scratching his head, Rijkaard asked, "I just need Kevin to be injured and off the field, and I’m supposed to use a life as a sacrifice?"

"No, their spells are very powerful, they don’t usually take action, but once they do, the target of the spell will quickly die."

"Forget it, it’s just a game, not worth it."

Rijkaard shook his head.

He didn’t expect the Thais to be so cruel.

Suddenly, he missed the Carlin wizard. Ever since the Spanish caught the Carlin wizard last time and he disappeared, Rijkaard seriously suspected that Carlin was secretly harmed.

Without the Carlin wizard, he had no one to consult.

Even though the Carlin wizard didn’t help him win, his mere presence provided Rijkaard with some comfort.

After sighing, Rijkaard walked back and ran into the players from both teams standing at the locker room.

He hurried over to Puyol and said, "You guys foul Kevin more."

"What?"

Puyol inquired.

Rijkaard wrapped his arm around Puyol’s shoulder and whispered, "You and Deco and the others are smart players; look for chances to foul Kevin more, then provoke the Real Madrid players. That way, we can level the numerical disadvantage."

"Got it, coach!"

Puyol nodded.

Rijkaard was so cunning.

Wasn’t it just to foul deliberately, to provoke Real Madrid players to react and get carded?

And, indeed, this trick was quite good!

As long as they controlled the extent of the fouls, Real Madrid were bound to suffer more.

Who knows, they might even get a few more Real Madrid players sent off.

When going out to the field, Puyol conveyed the coach’s intentions to his teammates.

Barca kicked off the second half.

Their numerical disadvantage wasn’t too evident at the organizational stage.

The main impact of Eto’o’s leaving was the reduction of options up front.

Huang Kaiwen rushed up to press, and Messi again tried to dribble. Anticipating this, Huang Kaiwen’s right foot suddenly looped around from behind his left, poking the ball away from in front of Messi.

Huang Kaiwen quickly turned, securing his position in front of Messi.

The two raced towards the left flank, and with his longer legs, Huang Kaiwen extended his left foot in front of Messi and hooked the ball forward, then back-heeled it behind him.

The two turned almost at the same time, Huang Kaiwen extending his left arm to block Messi from behind and getting to the ball first.

Xavi immediately charged towards Huang Kaiwen.

Thuram, who was initially further up, also rushed in, but as Huang Kaiwen moved, he tapped the ball to Raul.

Receiving the ball, Raul quickly passed it back to Guti.

Guti and De Jong were both central midfielders, but Guti’s position was slightly more advanced, closer to the attacking midfielder.

Real Madrid’s 4123 wasn’t a fixed formation.

Guti dribbled past Mark with his left foot, and on the flank, Deco charged towards him with a sliding tackle.

Observing the situation behind him, Raul ran back to get the ball and instantly turned to supply the right flank, where Cassano, unguarded at the top right corner of the box, easily made his way into the area.

"He’s through on goal!"

"Cassano!!! Ahh, he shoots just as he enters the box, he’s a bit hasty, not much power on that shot, Barca’s keeper Valdes easily catches it."

"Valdes is getting ready to kick the ball out... Huang Kaiwen is charging at him, and the ball is in!!!"

"Huang Kaiwen!!!"

"Valdes took the ball to the edge of the box to kick it away, but he panicked as Huang Kaiwen charged at him, and he ended up kicking the ball against the flying Huang Kaiwen’s leg and the ball deflected into the net. Huang Kaiwen’s flying kick was quite stylish."

"Heh, I bet Huang Kaiwen learned that from Ramos, that kick was exactly like the one Ramos did to Navarro."

"Just two minutes into the second half, Huang Kaiwen helps Real Madrid extend the lead again. That unexpected goal was a gift from both Valdes and Huang Kaiwen, Valdes’s mistake was a bit unnecessary, huh."

While running back, Huang Kaiwen gave high-fives with his teammates all the way to the center circle.

"Well done, Kevin!"
