After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!-Chapter 523 - 0223 From One Penalty Area to Another (Subscribe Requested)_3
The Meringues behind the goal, who were getting ready to celebrate, clutched their heads and widened their eyes.
They couldn’t understand how Cassano could have missed such a great opportunity.
"Cassano, oh Cassano, this was his closest chance to score today."
"It’s hard to keep a volley down, but the angle of the shot was quite good, Cassano must have wanted to hit the far post on the right to make it impossible for Cesar to save, but he sent the ball right out of play instead."
"Capello took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes several times, haha, he simply couldn’t believe what had happened. Capello probably thought that even after so many years since his retirement, he could have scored that."
"This shot was indeed outrageous, normally you’d expect the ball to fly over the crossbar if not controlled, but Cassano, having the angle on the right, managed to send the ball outside the left post, which isn’t easier than scoring."
Raul went over and helped Cassano, who was kneeling inside Inter Milan’s box, saying, "Don’t take it too hard, there’s still plenty of time in the second half."
Cassano got up and gestured an apologetic prayer motion with his hands toward Huang Kaiwen.
Huang Kaiwen practically fed the ball to him on a silver platter, missing really was his own fault.
Huang Kaiwen smiled, waved his hand, and walked back.
Inter Milan restarted the game from their backline; Sannetti and Cordoba ran up to Huang Kaiwen.
A little earlier, Huang Kaiwen had continuously created threats on the left wing, which scared them.
Cambiasso received the ball at the arc’s top, while observing his teammates, he also checked Huang Kaiwen’s location.
Finding that Huang Kaiwen wasn’t on the flank, Cambiasso then passed the ball to the left.
Burdizzo received the pass and crossed the midfield line, immediately facing tight pressure from Guti.
Slap—Burdizzo played the ball along the sideline, aiming to squeeze between Guti and the line, but Guti quickly adjusted his footing and blocked Burdizzo.
An advanced Ramos received the ball and swung his arm, scooping under the ball.
Huang Kaiwen, positioned behind the midfield circle, immediately ran towards his own box.
Watching Huang Kaiwen, both Sannetti and Cordoba subconsciously followed him. After only a step, Huang Kaiwen suddenly turned and dashed toward Inter Milan’s half, leaving the unprepared Sannetti and Cordoba trailing by more than 2 meters instantly.
In the middle of the circle, Huang Kaiwen headed the ball forward.
While running, he slightly lifted his left foot, and the moment the ball touched his left foot, Huang Kaiwen brought his foot down while powering through his ankle, sending the ball forward, and continued his run to retrieve it.
The whole process of controlling the ball twice didn’t affect his running speed at all.
Cambiasso quickly charged at Huang Kaiwen, and seeing his teammate’s position, Huang Kaiwen lifted his right foot and nudged the back of the ball.
Slap—The ball rolled quickly from Cambiasso’s left side to the middle of the right side of the box, and Cassano, receiving the ball on the right of the big box, was tackled to the ground by Materazzi from the side.
Whistle— 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
As the referee blew the whistle, he pointed to the penalty spot.
"Penalty!!!"
"Cassano has won a penalty."
"Huang Kaiwen’s through ball was too piercing, too comfortable. With the ball at his feet, Cassano was alone with the goal, Materazzi was in panic and didn’t even think about the consequences as he went in for the tackle."
"Absolutely, there’s no question about this penalty. Materazzi hit Cassano’s ankle."
"Cassano, sitting on the ground, gestured to Huang Kaiwen. Does he not want to take the penalty today?"
"I think Cassano has realized it. Even if he wanted to take the penalty, the coach and teammates wouldn’t agree, it’s better to just let Huang Kaiwen do it, haha."
Huang Kaiwen walked toward the box.
Sitting on the turf, Cassano called out, "Today I wasted your assist, now I owe you a penalty, Antonio Cassano never owes anyone anything."
"Is that so? That’s great!"
Huang Kaiwen asked with a smile, "You took away more than 20 bottles of wine from my cellar, drank even more, how about you pay me for the wine?"
"Ah..."
Cassano’s mouth dropped open, and after a long pause, he stammered, "I’ve heard there’s a saying in China, something like ’smoking and drinking make a family,’ don’t be such a stranger!"
"Then get up quickly."
Huang Kaiwen said, waving his hand.
He didn’t bother explaining to Cassano what ’no distinction between smoking and drinking’ meant.
That rascal always found a way to justify himself.
Players from Inter Milan and Real Madrid stood outside the large box, watching Huang Kaiwen and Cesar.
Cesar said to Huang Kaiwen, "We’ve known each other for several years now, can you score one less today?"
"So how many do you think I should score?"
Huang Kaiwen asked smilingly.
"Ah?"
Cesar was taken aback and said, "I think you should score three, one less would be two, you’d fulfill your task with just the first half."
"I’ll try my best then."
Huang Kaiwen said, laughing, not taking it seriously.
On the soccer field, neither trash talk nor relationships affect his performance.
How could he possibly go easy on a Brazilian keeper just because he’s on good terms with Brazilian players?
After setting the ball, Huang Kaiwen began backing up.
The referee raised his hand to signal for Huang Kaiwen to take the penalty.
Huang Kaiwen took small running steps, dada dada, and after three steps, Huang Kaiwen’s left foot suddenly lunged forward behind the ball, followed by a powerful swing of his right foot.
Misled, Cesar dived to the left, and the ball flew straight into the middle of the goal.
After scoring, Huang Kaiwen maintained his shooting posture, with the toe of his left foot touching the heel of his right foot, his legs crossed, and his arms spread wide as if bowing at the end of a gymnastics routine.
The Meringues naturally didn’t skimp on their applause.
It was as if the hands weren’t their own, as the applause at Bernabeu grew louder and louder, many fans’ hands turned red but they still clapped vigorously.
"Hahaha, Huang Kaiwen has performed a hat trick. This penalty was very deceptive; his sudden change in steps during the run and the poking shot clearly fooled Cesar. Huang Kaiwen is not only powerful, but his creativity is also among the top in the soccer world."
