After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!-Chapter 669 - 0259 Elegant Killer (Seeking Subscriptions)_4
Huang Kaiwen, while moving, knocked the ball continuously with the side of his right foot. As soon as Alves approached, Huang quickly turned to shield the ball, flicking it up with his right foot and swinging his leg around to strike the side of the ball with the instep.
Bang—
The ball quickly flew toward the top of the penalty area arc. Guti and Raul, one ahead of the other, just missed it, allowing Dragutinovic on the right flank to successfully receive it and launch a counterattack with a long pass.
Renato positioned himself at the arc’s top and chested the ball to the right wing, where Navas made a diagonal pass to find Kanoute.
Pepe charged forward immediately, Kanoute deftly pulled the ball back with his left foot, pushing it centrally.
Keita took a shot directly without stopping the ball.
Pepe turned to tackle, but couldn’t block the shot. The ball flew past Cannavaro toward the goal; Casillas dived sideways without delay, deflecting the ball to the left. Navas rushed up to shoot before Cannavaro could react.
The ball soared high, and as Casillas, rising to his feet, jumped on the spot, he failed to touch it. The ball grazed the left post and flew into the net.
"2:0!!!"
"Only 5 minutes into the game and Sevilla has already taken a two-goal lead. Real Madrid’s defense really handed them a gift today!"
"Indeed, there’s a lack of coordination between Pepe and Cannavaro, to say nothing of the communication issues between Ivanovic and his teammates. Plus, Marcelo’s frequent offensive advances. If they keep playing like this, Real Madrid is going to concede more goals today."
"Capello can’t restrain himself anymore and is shouting instructions from the sidelines, reminding the players to focus on defense."
...
Capello shouted from the sidelines, "Damn it, are your feet caught in molten cheese? Can’t move? If you don’t want to play, get the hell out now, I’ll buy another defender right this moment!"
Capello clenched his teeth as he watched his team’s penalty area.
He truly regretted bringing Cannavaro to Real Madrid.
Being in poor form is one thing; every player has those days, but Cannavaro’s lack of enthusiasm today was something he couldn’t tolerate.
Even if Kevin could score, you guys still need to calm down a bit! 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Cannavaro hung his head, not daring to look toward the sidelines.
Pepe’s words he didn’t care about; after all, Pepe wouldn’t hit a teammate when he wasn’t upset.
But he truly didn’t dare to talk back to Capello, as his fate wouldn’t be much better than Cassano’s if he did.
[What a mess from Huang Kaiwen.]
"Did Cannavaro get paid today or what?"
"I don’t think so, it’s just that he’s genuinely terrible! It’s like he used up all his form in the World Cup and started making constant mistakes after joining Real Madrid."
"What did Real Madrid even buy this summer? They brought in several Dutch players, but you need to buy defenders. With this defense, it’s only a matter of time before Huang Kaiwen rips them apart."
"I really think Cannavaro is performing for Huang Kaiwen. Did he get money from little sticks to lose a final on purpose for Huang Kaiwen?"
"Don’t worry, based on my more than three years of watching football, Huang Kaiwen is close to bursting onto the scene. Trailing by two goals is actually when Huang Kaiwen thrives; I bet Real Madrid will take the lead before the first half is even over."
"Have you noticed? Huang Kaiwen has played more games in Real Madrid than in AC Milan. Weren’t you guys saying he was faking injuries?"
"Damn, if I was getting a salary of 35 million Euros, I wouldn’t fake injuries either. Not only would I attend every match of the season, I’d gladly eat shit three times a day!"
"If you want to eat shit, no one’s stopping you. There are several here who haven’t eaten their due portion, but honestly, you’re not at the level—Real Madrid wouldn’t take you even for 35 thousand a year."
"You can’t really blame Cannavaro alone; today, both of Real Madrid’s fullbacks are incredibly off."
"Exactly, Marcelo keeps pushing up, he’s practically invisible in the back, and Ivanovic looks like he’s just a security guard patrolling the front of the penalty area; he’s probably confused himself."
So the transfer strategy of Real Madrid is really perplexing; why snatch a defender from Chelsea at a high price, who doesn’t even speak Spanish, and in a more bizarre twist, have them play on the flanks?"
Huang Kaiwen, touching his hair, walked back to midfield.
Today’s rate of conceding goals is indeed a bit fast.
Real Madrid kicks off again.
"Even if you don’t attack, stop conceding goals!"
"Keep an eye on defense, always have at least one person near Kevin, don’t give him too much space. Everyone, focus on supporting your teammates in marking Kevin!"
"Damn it, just tackle him, don’t let him have the ball!!!"
Juan de Ramos stood on the sidelines, constantly shouting, reminding the Sevilla players to stay focused on defense.
Last season’s matches against Real Madrid left a deep impression on him.
Juan de Ramos felt that, to win the Super Cup, besides good defense, limiting Huang Kaiwen was also crucial.
They absolutely couldn’t allow Huang Kaiwen too much space, let alone keep the ball for long periods.
Sevilla’s rough defensive moves brought angry curses from Real Madrid fans. Sevilla’s players today were smart in defense, using more body contact without prolonged contact, thus both impacting Huang Kaiwen’s possession and mobility without drawing warnings from the referee.
While [Berbatov] excels in his balance, speed has never been his strong suit, especially not the [Berbatov] of the 1314 season.
Thus, overtaking opponents with speed was difficult today.
But still, Brother Xiao Sa thinks it’s hard to get the better of him. Huang Kaiwen feels the same.
As the game progressed, the Sevilla players noticed he wasn’t moving much and gradually relaxed their defense against Huang Kaiwen.
Robben got the ball on the right flank, spotted an opportunity, and immediately turned and delivered a left-foot cross. Huang Kaiwen swiftly moved from the middle to the left of the small penalty area. Raul and Jose Marti, tangled up, both failed to jump, allowing Huang Kaiwen to gauge the landing spot and lightly leap to trap the ball. Landing firmly, Huang Kaiwen didn’t adjust, but struck the ball directly with the outside of his right foot under the ball.
