Chapter 377 - 0186 Kevin’s Brewed Tea (Subscription Requested)_4
"Hey, after Huang Kaiwen left, Kaka’s attacking power was further unleashed," one would say. "To suggest there’s a conflict between Huang Kaiwen and Kaka, nobody would believe it. They spend all their holidays together. Even when Huang Kaiwen was injured, he flew to Italy to hang out with Kaka. But that’s how it is when playing soccer: when one key attacking point is too strong, other positions must make sacrifices. If Real Madrid wants to build around Huang Kaiwen, they must let him play comfortably."
Capello was also pondering this issue.
He had no idea that Huang Kaiwen’s subpar performance today was due to the misplacement of the "Experience Card."
In his eyes, the biggest problem today was Van Nistelrooy.
Huang Kaiwen played awkwardly whenever Van Nistelrooy was on the pitch, and that was indeed true.
Capello recalled Ancelotti’s tactics.
Over the past two years at Milan, the 4-4-2 diamond midfield was clearly asymmetrical: Kevin played further forward, Gattuso held back to protect, Pirlo was in the middle for distributing passes, and Kaka orchestrated from the central area.
Real Madrid could almost replicate Milan’s tactics in terms of personnel, but the playing styles of the players were quite different.
Raul didn’t have the same kind of impact as Kaka. Though Raul could attract the defense with his dribbles and spread the play, he didn’t have Kaka’s simplicity in beating players. His impact wasn’t enough, and probably by the time he controlled the ball for too long, Kevin would have already burst forward.
Beckham and Pirlo were also completely different types of players.
A headache was building up in Capello’s head when he heard a sudden silence from the stands at Bernabeu.
