After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!-Chapter 717 - 0271 Kevin and I soar together (please subscribe)_2

Huang Kaiwen flicked the ball at the first touch, leaving Motta instantly behind. Mario Peña quickly closed in on Huang Kaiwen to chase him down, while also stretching out his arm to signal for offside.

The teammates following Raúl in the middle lane couldn’t bear to watch. Damn, several people dragging behind and you too raise your hand? The linesman won’t raise the flag unless he’s been paid a hefty sum.

The Atletico Madrid fans in the nearby stands felt like they had seen this scene before.

The two had just crossed the midfield line when Huang Kaiwen flicked the ball several meters ahead and darted outside the touchline, using speed to decisively leave Peña behind.

Although modeled after [Owen].

But Huang Kaiwen was much taller than [Owen]. His movements and center of gravity in motion resembled more of Bale and Henry, with his long legs flailing exaggeratedly up and down, quickly approaching Atletico Madrid’s penalty area.

Iniesta was running diagonally to the left, having gotten a substantial lead when starting to run back. Now that the two were parallel, Iniesta knew he couldn’t let Huang Kaiwen continue, so he rushed up and slid in.

Thwack—

Huang Kaiwen flicked the ball away but jumped half a beat late and got clipped by Iniesta’s foot.

He stumbled upon landing, failed to catch up with the ball, and let it roll out of bounds.

"Hehe, Huang Kaiwen’s speed is really fast, especially when there’s another player as a reference point."

"His start and second burst of speed are really exaggerated. I don’t know if you noticed, Coach Zhang, but when Huang Kaiwen first touched the ball, he pressed past the opponent. But after flicking the ball the second time, he instantly accelerated again, leaving the defenders on the pitch unable to keep up."

"Nesta once said, when defending against Huang Kaiwen, you can’t wait for a chance. You must act immediately or you’ll surely be passed."

Abbiati dawdled as he took the ball from the ball boy, slowly looking for opportunities to delay the game.

Delaying by a few seconds every time could shorten the match by several minutes.

This way, it reduced the number of times Huang Kaiwen could attack.

Cesar Fernandez waited ages to kick the ball and approached, pointing at Abbiati, "Hurry and kick the ball, any more delays and you’ll get carded."

Abbiati set the ball down, lazily toe-poking it to the left side.

Lopez immediately made a diagonal pass to Raúl García.

García, who had just transferred to Atletico Madrid that summer, wasn’t outstanding in any area, but due to his versatility, he had already become an important player for Atletico Madrid.

Pressured, García turned to shield the ball and again passed it to Lopez, who had moved forward. Lopez, seizing the opportunity, swung his left foot under the ball.

Bang—

The ball, struck swiftly, crossed over a large portion of the field, flying towards the right side of the midfield.

Rodriguez lifted his foot to stop the ball and, with a quick move, played a through pass, allowing the supporting Peña to continue charging forward.

"Damn!"

Ramos, stationed in the midfield, saw that Torres couldn’t make it back and quickly covered by rushing to the left side, beating Peña to the ball with a single back pass.

"Ramos is really active today."

"The positioning of Huang Kaiwen is very elusive. Ramos has also appeared on the left several times. Real Madrid’s overall freedom right now is incredibly high."

"It’s true, but today Real Madrid’s defense is doing very well. Look how well-coordinated the player coverages are. Atletico Madrid’s forwards haven’t found many opportunities."

Casillas ran out of the penalty box to receive the ball and quickly turned around to pass it to Ivanovic.

Faced with Fran’s pressure, Ivanovic passed it back to Casillas.

Casillas hurriedly passed it to Pepe.

As Atletico Madrid players crowded the front field and surged forward to press, Pepe saw Huang Kaiwen sprinting towards the right wing, swiftly stabbing the ball behind him. The ball rolled past Raúl García’s side into the right path.

Huang Kaiwen, reaching the right side, flicked the ball forward several meters and accelerated into Atletico Madrid’s half.

"Dangerous, Atletico Madrid players are pressing too far forward!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Although Antonio Lopez and Fabiano Eller had been keeping an eye on Huang Kaiwen’s position, as soon as Huang Kaiwen started, he shook Lopez off.

Now in a lagging position, Eller tried to close in on Huang Kaiwen, but just past the midfield line, Huang Kaiwen, picking up speed again, had already left Eller by more than half a meter, increasing the gap between them. Having missed his chance to foul, Eller could do nothing but follow helplessly back, watching as Huang Kaiwen drove toward his own penalty area with the ball.

Inside the penalty area, Abbiati became numb.

The first half hadn’t even ended yet—how many times had he faced Huang Kaiwen alone?

Doesn’t anyone inquire a bit? Even a goalkeeper of Buffon or Van der Sar’s caliber would barely manage to handle Huang Kaiwen’s breakaways. Do his teammates truly believe in him that much?

Hesitating for a few seconds had already cost him the chance to charge out; Abbiati stood in front of the small penalty area, continuously adjusting his position, preparing to attempt a save.

Reaching the edge of the penalty area, Huang Kaiwen subtly shifted his shoulders to adjust his balance and, with the ball, slanted from the right wing towards the middle. After two steps, feeling it was just about right, Huang Kaiwen nudged the ball with the instep of his right foot.

Bang—

Abbiati instantly went down and raised his arms to make a save, but as soon as he executed the move, he realized his mistake. His judgement was off! The ball passed between Abbiati’s legs and arms, soaring directly into the far corner of the goal.

"Kevin!"

"Kevin!"

"Kevin!"

The visiting fans in the stands, excited, waved their scarves in unison, chanting a familiar name.

Without completely stopping, Huang Kaiwen ran towards the visiting fans, performed a mid-air backflip which turned him around to face the stands, and spread his arms wide, thrilling the Meringue fans almost to madness.
