"Huang Kaiwen’s dual-footed feints this time were really beautiful,"
"Puyol is still down holding his leg, did he get injured from Huang’s dribbling? Barcelona is preparing a substitution, Zambrotta is warming up on the sideline, ready to come on. Goodness, Huang has just about broken Puyol’s leg."
"Zambrotta and Huang are old acquaintances, having frequently faced each other in Serie A."
Zambrotta is warming up on the sideline, his motions even slower than usual.
He doesn’t want to play in the match at all, at least not today. As a former Juventus player from Italy, his feelings towards Huang Kaiwen are quite complicated.
Every time they meet, Zambrotta is certain he doesn’t have the ability to defend against Huang.
During the World Cup, when the whole world was not optimistic about the Italy National Team, Huang’s support was very important, giving the entire Italian team confidence.
So, from any perspective, he does not want to go on the field.
To play would mean appearing in highlight reels of being outplayed.
You know, in Serie A, he and Thuram were nothing but a backdrop to Huang Kaiwen, second only to that guy Buffon.
After transferring to La Liga, and with Huang following to La Liga as well, Zambrotta’s displeasure could not be overstated; had he known earlier, he would have preferred not to play for Barça.
This season his form has declined, and he’s lost his spot as a starter.
Zambrotta thought he could avoid disaster, yet here he is, having to mark Huang Kaiwen again.
Damnit.
He is starting to not want to play for Barça anymore, if there’s a chance he must return to Italy!
Definitely!
During a pause in play, Zambrotta enters the field.
Rijkaard glances towards the bench, contemplating the next substitution.
Given the development of today’s match, the next substitution definitely needs to bolster the offense, to bring on a forward and create opportunities.
Too bad Messi is injured.
If Messi weren’t injured, letting him play would have been the better choice.
With the remaining players, he could only consider it further.
Huang Kaiwen walks back with his teammates, smiling.
A peak Messi is very powerful, and with various attributes, even a defender like Puyol could be dribbled into injury.
This could also be seen as the Yellow Ball King reclaiming a little bit of the spotlight.
Considering how many times Puyol has elbowed the Yellow Ball King, it couldn’t be let go so easily.
He, Huang, always repays his debts.
Barça restarts the game.
Xavi receives the ball and once again sends it to Ronaldo.
Huang Kaiwen actively moves to the center, leaving the left flank open.
Ronaldo, now with the ball, suddenly loses momentum, shakes his shoulders to get past Sneijder, and drives the ball towards the center.
Huang Kaiwen: ...
He’s in the center and still can’t avoid it?
Seeing De Jong challenge, Huang times his run and stretches out a foot, while Ronaldo turns and plays the ball back with his right foot to a teammate.
Deco approaches to provide support, not stopping the ball and instead pushing it towards the left. Iniesta flicks it with his right foot and deftly dribbles past the charging Ivanovic.
"Wow, young Iniesta’s move there had a touch of Huang Kaiwen,"
"After reaching the byline, how will he handle it? He goes past again! Pepe!!! Pepe has done it, after consecutive feints by Iniesta, Pepe isn’t fooled and he deflects the ball out for a corner."
Deco runs up for the corner kick.
The ball travels from the corner straight to the near post in front of the goal.
Ivanovic times his leap perfectly, jumping up for a header and sending the ball out of the penalty area.
Heinze, positioned further out, rushes down the left side to the ball, passing it quickly forward.
Guti receives the ball with his back to goal, turns around, and as soon as he’s facing Barça’s half, the ball is already at his feet. Seeing Huang Kaiwen up ahead, Guti quickly pokes the ball behind it with his left foot.
Pop—
Huang Kaiwen stops the ball with his back towards the left center line, as Xavi already has his hand out.
Taking advantage of Xavi not having a firm grip, Huang Kaiwen quickly starts up with his left foot, nudging the ball to the center, then sprints ahead for another diagonal push past the midfield line.
Xavi chases Huang from behind, not daring to allow Huang any room for a counterattack.
After the two cross the center circle, Xavi feels he is about to be shaken off and urgently lowers his center of gravity for a sliding tackle.
Huang Kaiwen pulls the ball back with his right foot, narrowly avoiding it, while Deco, who had come over to cover, is taken down by Xavi and the two roll together on the turf.
Camp Nou Stadium erupts in a chorus of boos once again.
Over ninety thousand Barça fans loudly issue the same note, trying to influence Huang Kaiwen with the ball.
Huang steps lightly, his quick pace undeterred as he continues to march towards Barça’s penalty area.
Barça players who moved forward to join the attack are now back on defense. Milito rushes in front of Huang, who lightly flicks the ball with the fore of his left foot. Milito shifts with the move, but Huang quickly changes to the outside of his left foot, knocking the ball wider and darting past Milito.
Max has followed Raul to the center.
Huang, with the ball at his feet, moves swiftly to the left, and Zambrotta, realizing Milito can’t catch up, promptly leaves Sneijder behind and dashes towards Huang.
Huang, just outside the penalty area, flicks the ball with his left foot again, accelerating as he bursts into the box.
Zambrotta extends a hand towards Huang’s back but dares not apply too much force, fearful of conceding a penalty. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
After two steps, Huang shakes off Zambrotta, but suddenly, he hears a whistle. Without time to think, Huang hurriedly shoots with his left foot, but the ball is blocked by Valdes.
"Ah, except for the final shot, Huang’s handling was excellent; this dribble starting from his own half and beating six players was truly beautiful!"
"Barcelona indeed can’t stop Huang Kaiwen; his ability to change direction in small spaces must be the best in the world."
"Huang Kaiwen is speaking with the head referee; what seems to be the issue?"
