After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!-Chapter 720 - 0272 Warm-up Expert Higuain (Subscribe please)

Abbiati just couldn’t help it.

Taking advantage of the Real Madrid players celebrating near the Atletico Madrid penalty area, he quickly spoke in Italian, "Kevin, I’m still a Milan player, if you score again..."

"Ah?"

Huang Kaiwen turned his head and saw a conflicted Abbiati and said with a smile, "Sorry Christian, I forgot."

Mainly because he drew a [Experience Card] that was quick, he, Huang, got a bit carried away.

In the current situation, for players with similar strengths using [Experience Cards], those with greater speed definitely benefited Huang, the Yellow Ball King, the most.

Technical gaps, special attributes, and skills, as well as soccer intelligence, could compensate to a certain extent, but there was no way to make up for a lack of speed.

Having drawn one of the speediest players in soccer, Huang Kaiwen felt he could kick as he liked, with explosive power and speed that the defenders couldn’t keep up with, simple to handle after going one-on-one.

Huang Kaiwen walked back with his teammates and saw Higuain warming up on the sidelines but didn’t pay much attention.

Higuain warming up didn’t necessarily mean a substitution.

In his memory, Higuain seemed to warm up three or five times every game.

"Atletico Madrid is making a substitution, Reyes is replacing Simão, and Kleber Santana is coming on for Maxi Rodríguez. Aguirre seems to think there’s a problem on both flanks, hence the changes," came the comment.

"Indeed, Atletico Madrid’s flanks weren’t performing too well today. You barely saw them during the attack, especially Simão, who hardly ever had the ball to make a run," the analyst added.

"Yes, hehe, but Ramos and Pepe performed really well today, with Ramos covering a large area and Pepe often moving to the left to cover, and Ivanovic was very solid defending crosses when he dropped back. So Atletico Madrid couldn’t find many opportunities," another said.

With Ramos back, Real Madrid’s defensive line was getting back on track.

Even though Miguel Torres was just passable after Heinze’s injury, the double defensive midfield provided sufficient protection for the backline, and the slight issues on the left flank didn’t expose too many big problems for now.

The twice-substituted Atletico Madrid still had no improvements in their flanking attack.

Ramos, facing his former teammate Reyes from last season, wasn’t soft at all.

Reyes, facing such tough defending, clearly didn’t dare keep the ball for long.

Reyes’ cross-field pass was intercepted early by De Jong’s foot, and De Jong cleared the ball with a big kick toward the Atletico Madrid half.

He had already noticed that Huang’s speed was sufficient; as long as the passing wasn’t too erratic, he could get to the ball.

Huang Kaiwen suddenly turned and started moving down the left.

Though Motta turned to follow him immediately, he was still instantly left more than half a meter behind.

The Atletico Madrid fans still in the Vicente Calderon Stadium had become numb to the sight and had no special thoughts about it.

So what if they concede a goal? It’s not like conceding ten would relegate them on the spot, right?

Raúl García hurried back, and at the same time yelled at Motta, "Damn it, hold him back a bit, and I can get to the ball."

Motta, gritting his teeth and sprinting back, nearly exploded, stopping to curse.

"Donate your damn eyes if you don’t need them, mate. How am I supposed to hold someone back when I’m falling behind by more than 2 meters? Do you think this is ’Street Fighter’?"

Peña and Ibanez also charged towards the landing spot, the whole Atletico Madrid formation pressing towards the left.

Raúl and Robben, moving upfield, had hardly any defenders around them.

Seeing the ball directed towards the left inside the large penalty area, Huang Kaiwen sped up again and, getting there first, stuck out his left foot to poke the descending ball directly into the box.

Great opportunity!

Raul’s eyes lit up.

With only Fabiano Eller in front of him, once he was in the box, whether to shoot or pass was up to him, right?

Raúl speeded up and burst past Eller.

Eller turned and slid viciously, with Raúl, who had stepped into the box, rolling several times until he stopped inside the small area.

"Bastard!"

Huang Kaiwen rushed over to push Eller and scolded, "Tackling from behind, do you not want to play anymore?"

"Damn it!"

Robben cursed, speeding towards the middle.

Only to be stopped head-on by Antonio Lopez.

The Real Madrid players once again showed their sprinting speed; they were definitely in a league of their own in soccer when it came to arriving at a conflict.

Huang Kaiwen knelt to check on Raúl’s condition.

Without asking, often injured himself, the Yellow Ball King just knew Raúl couldn’t continue.

"Hurry up!"

Huang Kaiwen stood up and shouted, waving at the medical team.

Capello turned around and pointed to the substitute bench with both hands, making a beckoning motion.

Higuain took off his training jacket and threw it to the ground, walking while high-kneeing and twisting his torso, stretching both his upper and lower body.

He had developed a quick and simple warm-up routine from the bench to the sideline.

Previously, Huang Kaiwen always came off suddenly, leaving him no time to warm up.

But the first time he showed this routine wasn’t to replace Huang Kaiwen.

"Raúl was taken off the field on a stretcher, Fabiano Eller received a red card without any doubt."

"The young Higuain comes on again as a substitute. This youngster is now Real Madrid’s surprise weapon off the bench; although he can’t start most of the time in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, he’s able to come on in nearly every game," the commentator said.

"Hehe, with a bit more efficiency in scoring, he would be the new Solskjaer," another chuckled.

Speaking of which, I remember Solskjaer talking about improving himself, saying he watched for the opponent’s weaknesses from the bench, which is why he often scored as soon as he came on," one brought up.

"Solskjaer is indeed a sharp player; after retiring, he should become a pretty good coach," was mentioned in agreement.
