Chapter 2202 - 565: I’m Going Personally, and I’ll Take It Back with My Own Hands
"Yeah, I totally forgot about this rule until Coach Zhang mentioned it because this kind of situation rarely happens with free-kicks."
"Right, Kroos’s mentality is clearly affected by the disallowed goal, mumbling about getting a yellow card from Rizzoli, but honestly, it doesn’t matter much, there’s still plenty of time left in the game."
"AC Milan needs to stay steady now."
This incident hit Milan hard.
After all, players are human too.
Not scoring is one thing.
Scoring and thinking you’ve equalized, only for it to be disallowed — even knowing it’s due to the rules — can still affect the players’ mindset.
Huang Kaiwen clearly sensed his teammates were getting anxious.
The pace of passing increased, but the precision dropped.
In such a situation, he could only do his best to fall back and defend.
"Should we make a substitution?"
Torrent asked.
"It’s not something that can be solved by substitutions."
Cesare Maldini shook his head and said.
"Then what do we do? If we keep playing like this, we might concede another goal."
Torrent said anxiously.
Constantly losing possession; even the best defense will make mistakes at times.
No player can maintain full concentration all the time.
"Wait!"
Old Maldini looked at the field and said.
"Wait?"
Torrent asked.
"Yes, wait for a goal!"
Old Maldini said, staring at Huang Kaiwen.
In the 75th minute, Sneijder, under pressure, passed back, Guarin attempted a one-two with Alvarez but failed, and the ball was intercepted by Gattuso.
Facing counter-pressure, Gattuso quickly sent the ball forward, where Ramos picked it up and dashed away.
In an instant, the situation flipped, and Inter Milan players sprinted back desperately.
While on the run, Ramos executed a precise long pass to the left wing.
Huang Kaiwen leapt high next to Sannetti and headed the ball to the advancing Torres.
Samuel didn’t dare take it lightly and rushed to defend.
With Yuto Nagatomo having moved up and not returning, it was somewhat dangerous.
Fortunately, Lucio came to help defend, and while both of them retreated, they sealed off all openings, preventing Torres from breaking into the penalty area.
By this time, Ramos had made his way up, and Torres swiftly passed the ball to the right wing.
Almost simultaneously, Huang Kaiwen had already burst into the penalty area.
Sannetti was biting his teeth trying to catch up, but could only chase from behind Huang Kaiwen.
Spotting the threat, both Lucio and Samuel sprinted back with all their might.
Ramos, already on the baseline, made a cross, with Lucio and Samuel sliding to block, but the ball rolled quickly past them to the left.
Seeing some distance remaining, Huang Kaiwen could only attempt a sliding shot.
Yet, at the very moment he went to ground, Sannetti made a move from behind, causing Huang Kaiwen’s action to deform a bit; he spread his legs, and the ball struck the inside of his left leg before bouncing into the goal.
Cesar rolled his eyes.
Damn!
Scoring with your head, no big deal, now even with your lower head.
No doubt, after today, he’s become the backdrop again.
After scoring, Huang Kaiwen really wanted to pick the ball up and run back.
But considering the team’s good chemistry, he refrained.
Not worth losing those few extra seconds.
You’ve equalized but still act as if you don’t want to waste time, it can be a bit insulting.
"Goal!!!"
"Kevin Goal!"
"In Kevin’s career, he’s scored with his head, chest, left foot, right foot, instep, and outside of the foot, thighs, and calves, but his one regret was never scoring with this part."
"But today, Kevin made up for that regret, achieving another milestone in his career. Now, except for with his hands, Kevin has scored with every part."
"All I can say is this is a great goal, because Kevin will score countless goals with his feet in his career, but with this part, it’s only happened once."
"For this alone, Cesar should feel fortunate because he will forever be known as the goalie who conceded a goal to Kevin’s ’dingding,’ an ultimate honor for a goalkeeper!!!"
Through the replay.
Many fans saw the details of the goal clearly.
On forums, there were already screenshots comparing Huang Kaiwen and his cousin in size.
Cesare Maldini turned and said, "See? I told you, we just had to wait."
Domenec Torrent smiled and nodded.
The team captain pulls through at critical moments!
"So Carly, do you think Kevin is handsome?"
Candice Swanepoel asked.
"He’s alright, but I’m more interested in knowing if he’s hurt."
Carly Claus replied.
"Stop pretending, why else are you clamping your legs so tightly?" Candice Swanepoel rolled her eyes and teased.
This American bitch is so pretentious.
"But you have a boyfriend."
Unable to bear it, Carly Claus changed the subject.
"So what? Which Brazilian can remain faithful? If Kevin is willing to date me, I’d ditch Herman in a heartbeat." Candice Swanepoel said excitedly.
"Really?"
Klaus asked.
She was just in Milan City for the show, not thinking about much else.
"Of course, it’s Kevin! Being with him, I could headline Victoria’s Secret! It’s a shame he’s not that interested in models, rarely hearing any scandal involving him with one."
Candice Swanepoel said a bit regretfully.
If she could get with Huang Kaiwen, she wouldn’t need to work outside, supposedly he’s super, super rich.
"But I’ve heard he has something with Miranda Kerr."
Klaus said.
"Nonsense, those are just rumors spread by that bitch’s agency!"
