Chapter 2329 - 592: The Italian Tradition of Taking Sides
van Persie’s celebration was full of passion.
Huang Kaiwen clapped with a smile on the sidelines.
He felt lucky that he had let the Netherlands team go all out.
Especially since Spain’s execution wasn’t very sharp today.
As for why it wasn’t sharp, Huang Kaiwen thought it was due to internal conflicts caused by the Barcelona Gang. Didn’t you see Ramos, who was beaten up, didn’t assist much today?
This is the proof.
Later, the evidence must be provided to the Madrid media to expose the evil Catalonia forces.
Although the Yellow Ball King is no longer in Spain, he can’t just watch the Spanish National Team disintegrate like this.
Maybe someone paid Xavi 6 million to make him lose the game today.
As Rizzoli blew the whistle ending the first half, Huang Kaiwen walked to the sidelines with a pile of towels.
The Dutch players looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Even the recently scoring van Persie looked surprised.
He hesitated a bit before taking the towel.
It wasn’t until Bouma, who was walking at the back, returned that Huang Kaiwen patted his arm and walked towards the tunnel together.
Before the finals, he had been pumping players full of adrenaline.
Huang Kaiwen decided to try a different approach today.
The atmosphere in the locker room was good.
Leading Spain 2:0 at half-time is something any team should be proud of.
Speaking caution and carefulness to players at this time would only cause them to ignore him, or even think he was annoying. Otherwise, why would there be teams leading by three goals at half-time but get reversed?
So Huang Kaiwen didn’t say those things.
He pulled over the tactical board, using magnets to represent players from both teams.
He directly opened with an apology: "Today’s my fault, I didn’t expect Spain’s right-side attack to be so sluggish. So Dek, you’ll change position in the second half to mark David Silva, and let Mark stay in the center."
"Got it, boss."
Kuyt nodded and responded.
The players were immediately intrigued by Huang Kaiwen’s words.
After all, nobody expected this kind of opening.
But the players also began to reflect on where they didn’t perform well in the first half, completely forgetting about the two-goal advantage over Spain.
Cocu was quietly playing with his fingers on the side.
Although he had been with Huang Kaiwen for less than a month.
He had already deeply realized how formidable Huang Kaiwen was.
It was fortunate he was involved in football.
If it weren’t for sports, who knows what big events he might cause.
After Huang Kaiwen relayed a few more tactical instructions, he just let the players relax.
On the field, mental exhaustion is no less than physical exertion; Huang Kaiwen understood his role now.
The coaching staff followed Huang Kaiwen out of the locker room.
Inzaghi said: "I’ve recently met a Ukrainian girl, don’t worry, she’s a decent person."
"Then you’d better bring some hot sauce."
Huang Kaiwen replied.
"What do you mean?"
Inzaghi asked curiously.
Huang Kaiwen laughed and said: "Remember that pregnant girl that one time? If you had brought hot sauce, maybe when you’re showering, you could hear her crying."
"No, no way."
Inzaghi swallowed and said.
Huang Kaiwen said nothing.
This guy hasn’t been beaten much.
Huang Kaiwen was also a bit curious; others always encounter similar troubles, yet Inzaghi seemed to have no issues at all—his luck was indeed good.
Nesta chuckled without speaking.
He was an old hand too.
In the team, don’t expect anyone to be innocent.
Inzaghi pursed his lips and said: "I once thought of starting a company with just me and beauties. But hearing what you said, it feels a bit scary—what if all got pregnant?"
Huang Kaiwen:...
You probably haven’t heard of DoYi Network.
Still thinking they might all get pregnant.
The biggest mercy for you would be if they all got pregnant.
This matter isn’t every girl being extreme, but some smart ones follow behind eating hostages—that’s the scariest part.
When the wind turns bad, they quickly cut ties.
While a few people were chatting and teasing.
Inside the Netherlands locker room, Van Bommel delivered his speech.
Van Bommel stood up and said: "Everyone knows about today’s situation. The coach apologized at the beginning, but he didn’t do anything wrong.
Why is this? I think it’s taking care of our self-esteem. We’ve lost to Spain before, and Spain reversed other teams in the European Cup. So, at this moment, it’s crucial for us to be careful. 45 minutes, just hold on for 45 more minutes and we can win this match, so don’t think about other things, fully invest in the game."
Van Bommel’s speech was pretty ordinary.
But van Persie very favorably responded first.
The locker room was filled with followers.
Van Bommel knew.
These players were responding because he mentioned Huang Kaiwen.
Reflecting on his feigning illness and escape of the old father-in-law, Van Bommel had a new understanding of the coaching position.
It’s not about how long you’ve coached, it doesn’t mean you’re impressive.
In the second half, the players from both sides switched to fight again.
Bosque immediately let Torres start warming up on the sidelines.
This is a very normal thing; Barca and Spain’s 460 false-striker formation had the biggest problem according to Guardiola’s comments during his Manchester City tenure when he said there was no need for forwards until he brought in forwards.
The false-striker formation has many midfielders, allowing frequent position changes.
However, lacking Iniesta.
Spain’s 460 lost its soul.
Fabregas struggled playing a false nine at Barca, can he change in Spain?
Spain encountered this issue before; putting on a forward solved it, hence the warm-up of Torres now.
Flaar and Boulahrouz’s defensive ability shouldn’t be compared to Bissaka and Luke Shaw.
