Chapter 2196 - 564: The Final Derby
Huang Kaiwen:...
Couldn’t have imagined.
Inter Milan’s core is going to be crippled.
Sparked by van Persie, they start to get back on track again.
But as a former teammate, Huang Kaiwen is still happy to see the return of the Ballon d’Or level Sneijder.
This time Inter Milan’s attack is still initiated by Alvarez, whose speed on the Argentine flank is quite fast, otherwise, he wouldn’t be called the new Kaka.
Gattuso immediately went up to meet him.
Without waiting for him to get close, Alvarez flicked the ball with his toe for a diagonal pass, giving it to Sneijder.
Sneijder carried the ball forward, Ambrosini ran back along with him, the two entangled in the middle.
At this point, Sneijder suddenly passed the ball forward, Milito received and returned it immediately.
Even with just two passes, Ambrosini’s focus was still distracted.
Sneijder seized the opportunity to take the ball and directly made a through pass with his left foot.
The ball was accurately sent behind Godin, Milito made the timely forward run.
But at the critical moment, Nesta made a sliding tackle, successfully blocking Milito’s path, and Buffon charged out to cover the ball.
"Beautiful, Nesta’s tackle was truly stable."
"Yes, Nesta’s tackle was clearly because he couldn’t keep up with the ball, just obstructing Milito for a moment, Milito was just a second away from getting the ball."
"AC Milan hasn’t been in the zone during this part of the game."
"The main issue is Messi, Inter Milan’s defensive focus today is Huang Kaiwen. Under normal circumstances, Messi would put significant pressure on Inter Milan, but with Messi injured, there’s no pressure on Inter."
"Alright, here comes Torres. AC Milan replaced the injured Messi with Torres."
"The camera shows the stands, and it’s the Dutch coach Van Marwijk, appearing here to inspect the form of van Persie and Sneijder, the European Cup in the summer being another chance for the Netherlands to contend for the championship. This generation of Dutch players is outstanding, with a great hope to shed the ’uncrowned king’ title."
[Rainie Yang on the left] bar.
"Damn, it’s good enough if the Netherlands doesn’t have infighting, let alone winning the championship."
"Two years ago in the World Cup, they barely missed it, if Robben’s shot had gone in, it could have been different."
"The problem is that these players may not have the strength from two years ago, and van Persie always boasting after each championship irritates me."
"I also think van Persie is going to get beaten up; newspaper reports about weapons being found in the Dutch locker room might not be fake."
"The key is Huang Kaiwen becoming part of the Dutch coaching staff, no matter what, these Dutch players won the UEFA Champions League with him, so they probably have to show him some respect."
"Show him some respect by going easy on van Persie?"
"I feel like a fight won’t break out; look, Huang Kaiwen has transferred three times, changed teammates four times, and his teams never had infighting."
"You might have forgotten one person, also Dutch."
"Are you talking about the one who was expelled from Dutch citizenship? Cruyff previously criticized him, saying a person shouldn’t be so narrow-minded."
"Raul also said there was no conflict between Huang Kaiwen and Van Nistelrooy; perhaps Huang Kaiwen doesn’t even know how he offended Van Nistelrooy."
"Haha, so I support Van Nistelrooy, it’s said that he’s retiring at the end of the season, and this giant football scene won’t have anyone opposing Huang Kaiwen anymore."
Buffon gave the ball to the left, and Antonini carried it forward behind Huang Kaiwen.
The reason he didn’t dare to pass it was because he wasn’t sure he could give the ball accurately.
Behind Huang Kaiwen is Sannetti, while in front are Cambiasso and Maicon.
If the precision of a long pass is slightly off, it might go straight to the feet of Inter Milan players.
Luckily, no one was pressing him at the moment, so he could assuredly carry the ball forward.
Once Antonini crossed the midway line, Inter Milan players started struggling.
Cambiasso actively rushed toward Antonini, and Antonini immediately handed the ball to the advancing Ambrosini.
Guarin immediately filled Cambiasso’s position and went up to press Ambrosini.
Ambrosini noticed players around Torres, decisively turned around, and passed the ball to the left.
His passing intention was too obvious, intercepted by Maicon, who stretched his foot to successfully block it.
Maicon took the ball and started running diagonally.
Huang Kaiwen almost chased after him instantly.
Despite Maicon mainly defending Sannetti today.
This Brazilian defender still has quite strong attacking ability.
Meazza Stadium was fervently shouting Maicon’s name, with Nerazzurri hoping to channel energy to the field.
Yet, Maicon, carrying the ball, felt no ease.
He had the head start on Huang Kaiwen, with several meters between them.
But after running over ten meters, he felt the pressure.
Maicon didn’t specifically look back, yet he faintly spotted Huang Kaiwen in his peripheral vision.
Under this circumstance, he couldn’t confidently handle the ball; any slight deceleration and Huang Kaiwen might surge to complete the steal.
After passing the halfway line, the speed difference between the two became more pronounced.
Even if Maicon slowed, he was still one of the relatively fast football players.
But Huang Kaiwen successfully closed the gap, now neck and neck with Maicon.
Gattuso saw this and, without thinking, pressed up against Alvarez.
Ambrosini decisively charged towards Sneijder back in half.
Bang,
Maicon still couldn’t hold on.
He thought to knock the ball out for a long pass but didn’t expect Huang Kaiwen to stretch his foot, blocking his pass.
