Chapter 2146 - 553: Artificial Something
The ball was kicked high and when it fell, Cech jumped from the crowd and caught it with both hands.
"Torres is not happy, van Persie’s reaction was indeed a bit slow."
"Yes, Huang Kaiwen didn’t say anything, but Torres went to van Persie first. This ball really should’ve gone in."
"Today, Huang Kaiwen has been passing more, partly for the sake of team unity, and partly because Chelsea has been restricting him significantly. Terry’s defensive skills, along with Mikel in front and Huntelaar who often tracks back, means Chelsea’s defensive focus is all on Huang Kaiwen."
"Yes, Rakitic and Van Bommel are doing okay, but they don’t have such great passing skills, so Torres on the right hasn’t received the ball much, and Ashley Cole’s side hasn’t been challenged at all."
"Chelsea launches another attack from the left, both teams are attacking from the left today. Wow, Bale’s speed might only be slightly less than Huang Kaiwen’s, it’s really fast."
"Gattuso couldn’t block this time, no chance, Bale had already pushed the ball several meters ahead, choosing decisively to run around the sideline."
"Zambrotta charges forward, Bale goes past him, accelerates into the penalty area and shoots low! Buffon saves the day! Buffon at the near post uses his foot to deflect the ball, such a quick reaction."
"Yes, both goalkeepers are performing well today. Now let’s watch Chelsea’s corner kick opportunity, aiming at the near post, oh my, the ball is in!!!"
"Drogba’s header finds the goal, leveling the score for Chelsea!"
Drogba jogs near the baseline, without being overly excited.
Such a demeanor endears him to many Rossoneri fans.
Huang Kaiwen doesn’t celebrate because Chelsea is his former club.
But Milan and Drogba have no such connection.
Ancelotti excitedly rushes to the sideline, vigorously waving his right fist, and Tassotti runs over to hug Ancelotti from behind, jumping up and down together.
"Did you see that, Mauro!"
"Yes, Carlo, you were right!"
Tassotti exclaims excitedly.
"We’ll win, won’t we, Mauro?"
Ancelotti asks.
"Of course, Carlo, because you’re right!"
The two of them celebrate excitedly by the sideline.
Altman can’t understand their Italian at all.
But Ancelotti does not forget this technical advisor, nodding excitedly afterward: "This smart worker is pretty good, today’s starting lineup owes to its contribution, I’ll inform Mr. Abramovich to continue investing."
"Mm."
Altman nods weakly, with no intention of correcting Ancelotti.
He realizes he can’t reason with this old-school and stubborn Italian coach.
As long as there’s investment, he doesn’t care if it’s called a smart worker or function person.
"Applause rings out at San Siro, AC Milan still shows great sportsmanship."
"Did Zhang not notice? There’s been no boos at San Siro today, this must be considering Huang Kaiwen’s feelings, sort of like loving him, giving Chelsea a comfortable away match."
"Heh, I think there might be another meaning. Chelsea’s ’Welcome to Stamford Bridge’ has become their tagline, AC Milan fans see us striving to be the world’s top club, naturally wanting to act more generous than Chelsea."
"Hey, can’t deny, maybe they really do have such considerations."
[On the left of Rainie Yang] maybe.
"Possibly so, AC Milan fans, like Huang Kaiwen, act generously knowing they won’t lose."
"Brother, this thing is still about deeds rather than intentions, if you look at everything from a conspiracy angle, this world wouldn’t have anything beautiful."
"That’s right, I feel AC Milan fans are quite generous today, this is how a major club should act."
"Probably they don’t consider Chelsea much, Chelsea just has two UEFA Champions Leagues, not even comparable to Ajax."
"Let’s not mention Ajax, they’ve become a star factory, selling players every summer."
"At least Ajax doesn’t sell their captain every year."
"Damn, how can you say that? Selling the captain every year and playing in the UEFA Champions League every year is a talent, don’t you know?"
"Seems like the professor has no intention of competing for the title."
"You’ve got it wrong, it’s not lack of intention, but even with intention it’s impossible, this is facing reality. Arsenal went from a tough team to a representation of beautiful football, even built a new stadium, Arsenal fans should kneel before the professor, pushing for the title is asking too much."
The players on both sides become more cautious.
1:1 into halftime, a score both sides can accept.
Huang Kaiwen also prepares to take a break.
But in the next second, Van Bommel has already passed the ball to his feet.
Huang Kaiwen silently rolls his eyes.
Is this a grudge for not passing to Torres?
Tito’s ball possession today is pitifully few.
Although Huang Kaiwen is ready to exert more effort in the second half, Huntelaar dares not be careless.
He directly spreads his arms and charges at Huang Kaiwen.
Huang Kaiwen easily tricks Huntelaar’s center of gravity with a tail flick, then speeds up with the ball and moves past.
Mikel doesn’t think twice, diving straight for a slide tackle.
Although Huang Kaiwen lifts the ball over Mikel’s leg just in time, he’s a second too slow when jumping, getting clipped, his ankle burning with pain.
Terry simply runs to the left, collaborating with Bosingwa to defend Huang Kaiwen.
