After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!-Chapter 668 - 0259 Elegant Killer (Seeking Subscriptions)_3

Before the game got underway,

De Jong looked at the two Dutch compatriots and cautioned them, "Don’t hold onto the ball too much, pass it to Kevin whenever you get the chance."

"What if there are a lot of defenders around Kevin?"

Sneijder asked.

In the previous match against Atletico Madrid, Huang Kaiwen always had two defenders marking him.

De Jong cursed, "Idiot, your job is to pass the ball to Kevin, not to worry about how many defenders are around him!"

What do you care about defenders? It’s not like you’re receiving the ball, you’re supposed to pass it!

Robben watched the commotion from the side, feeling that Sneijder’s wits were far inferior to his own.

At 7:45 p.m., Austrian referee Conrad Plautz blew the whistle to start the match.

Raul began the game with a sideways kick.

Huang Kaiwen received the ball and quickly flicked it with the heel of his right foot to his teammate, then dashed forward.

Renato immediately charged towards Huang Kaiwen.

Playing with two strikers doesn’t allow for too many to closely mark him. Before the match started, Juan de Ramos had already assigned them the task of defending Huang Kaiwen.

Previously, man-marking easily disrupted formation, so today they switched to zonal marking.

As Huang Kaiwen ran to the left flank, Renato fell back and Navas came up to mark him.

With this one move, Huang Kaiwen understood what Sevilla had in mind.

It was a well-thought plan indeed.

Such complex defensive tactics, without long-term practice and coordination, are prone to positional errors at critical moments, affecting teammates’ play.

Huang Kaiwen wasn’t in a hurry; as his teammates organized the play in the backfield, he jogged in the front, teasing the Sevilla players.

After Sneijder received the ball, he saw Huang Kaiwen in the middle and was about to pass but then he saw Huang Kaiwen gesturing towards the right flank, and Sneijder quickly swung his left foot to pass.

Thump—

A nervous Sneijder swung his left foot under the ball, and his right foot slipped, falling to the ground, failing to control the power behind the pass.

The ball flew from the left midfield towards the front of the right midfield line, crossing almost the entire pitch before descending.

Huang Kaiwen on the right flank raised his right foot and steadily stopped the ball.

Duda quickly approached to defend, but Huang Kaiwen lightly lifted his foot, barely applying any force with his right foot as he tapped the back of the ball.

Thump—

The ball rolled past Duda to find Raul in front.

Raul, receiving the ball in midfield, was pressed by Boulahrouz and sideways passed to Marcelo, who was making an incisive run.

Marcelo sent the ball across without hesitation, but with nobody in the box, Palop easily caught it.

"That’s the thing with Brazilian fullbacks. They really stand out with their style."

"Indeed, Marcelo is even more advanced than Sneijder. We missed him on the camera a moment ago, had no idea when he got to the front. Looks like Huang Kaiwen’s teammates from AC Milan and Real Madrid are all this type of attacking fullback, previously Carlos, Serginho, and Maldini also overlapped a lot."

"Alves leads a counterattack. This Brazilian fullback is really strong; he’s fast with good dribbling, and what’s more, he can organize play, look at his pass! He moved into the middle right after passing it. Many top clubs were interested in Alves during the summer, but after he won the UEFA Cup with Sevilla, Alves decided to stay there, where it’s probably more comfortable than it would be at a new club."

"Alves with a through ball! Beautiful, slicing right through Real Madrid’s defense, Kanoute keeps the ball and passes Casillas to turn and shoot, goal!"

"Just after kickoff, Sevilla scores and takes the lead, the biggest issue with Real Madrid’s defense is their instability."

"Yes, Cannavaro, seeing Pepe push forward and not yet back in defense, is looking uncomfortable at Real Madrid, as if he can’t find his defensive groove."

Pepe spread his hands looking at Cannavaro.

Cannavaro spread his hands back at Pepe and shrugged.

Pepe, frustrated, ran his tongue over his teeth.

He really missed Ramos; at least that hot-headed guy was quick to cover positions, Cannavaro was truly annoying.

Kanoute ran toward the corner flag area, while Sevilla players rushed over to celebrate like mad.

"Frederic!"

"Frederic!"

"Frederic!"

On the away fans’ stand, Sevilla’s fans excitedly chanted the name of the goalscorer.

Today, their Mali striker combination was quite active from the start, filling them with hope for a win.

As for the Meringues, they showed no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.

Real Madrid fans always had a high opinion of themselves, and after Huang Kaiwen transferred to Real Madrid, they strutted around with even more arrogance. Now, nothing irked them more than country bumpkins getting so excited over a single goal.

It didn’t matter who scored first; with number ten on the field, the ultimate victory always belonged to Real Madrid!

"It’s up to you now."

Raul said.

"I’ll do my best," Huang Kaiwen replied with a smile.

The absence of Cassano and Ramos really made a big impact.

The new teammates still weren’t quite familiar with his running habits.

Restarting the game, Raul sideway passed and Huang Kaiwen once again back passed to Sneijder.

Remembering De Jong’s words, Sneijder saw Navas and Renato close to Huang Kaiwen and decisively swung his left foot for a straight pass.

Huang Kaiwen ran back to receive the ball, stopped it with the instep of his left foot, and pushed it with the instep of his right foot to Marcelo who was surging forward, then turned and sprinted ahead.

Marcelo drove the ball along the sideline, once again sent an oblique pass towards Huang Kaiwen, who, with his back to the goal, lifted his right foot to hook the ball. The ball hit the inside of his left leg and bounced back. Huang Kaiwen stretched his left leg back and knocked the ball towards the edge of the box.

"Fantastic! Huang Kaiwen did all that with his back to the goal."

"Raul is closely marked by Jose Marti outside of the box and can only pass back. Guti gets the ball and sends it back to the left once more."
