Chapter 2237 - 573: Heavenly Kingdom Dynasty
Shakira held the orange in her hand and examined it closely, the peel surprisingly had no obvious blemishes. She really didn’t know how Huang Kaiwen managed that.
She tried to peel it with her fingernails.
The juice splattered everywhere!
...
The players returned to the field.
However, Huang Kaiwen standing on the sidelines still drew all the attention.
Cesare Maldini said: "Kevin, I’ll give them a bit of time; I’ll let you on after some time has passed since the start."
"I have no objections, coach."
Huang Kaiwen nodded and said.
"How’s your body feeling?"
Cesare Maldini patted Huang Kaiwen’s shoulder and asked.
"Not too good."
Huang Kaiwen said: "But it’s enough."
"Alright, don’t push yourself."
Cesare Maldini said with a smile.
He didn’t think Huang Kaiwen was lying.
After interacting with the team and Huang Kaiwen, he realized how proud Huang Kaiwen was.
Just like a lion.
Usually listless and lazy, but as soon as a challenger to the throne appears, he changes his demeanor, using strength to defend his reign.
Beep,
Bayern restarted the game.
Gomes passed directly to Ribery.
Ribery took the ball in the middle decisively.
During halftime, coach Heynckes was quite conflicted about tactics.
Leading 3:1 in a final, the typical strategy is defense and counterattack.
However, Huang Kaiwen preparing to play still worried many people.
Even if they thought Huang Kaiwen’s stamina was questionable, they couldn’t calm down to defend.
Such a chaotic mindset gave Milan a chance.
After a steal by Rakitic, he immediately booted the ball to the front.
Messi used his chest to cushion the ball while running, reaching out and grappling with Lahm, then instantly sent a through ball with his right foot.
As Torres surged forward, the Allianz Arena was filled with the sound of people gasping.
Fast!
So fast!
Boateng barely turned, and Torres was already charging into the penalty area.
Neuer immediately abandoned the goal and rushed out.
The two were completely racing for speed.
The ball was closer to Neuer, but Torres was faster.
Still very suspenseful.
The two reached the ball almost simultaneously; Neuer had the advantage of using his hands, and he pressed the ball first.
Torres had no choice; at this point, it’s hard to stop, he struggled to jump, his cleats skimmed past Neuer’s ear.
But Torres, who had fallen, couldn’t get back up.
"Oops, Torres is injured."
"Before Huang Kaiwen even got on, Torres got injured first."
"Yes, don’t know how serious it is; if it’s serious, he might miss the summer European Cup... Cesare Maldini called van Persie to warm up, so AC Milan is preparing to substitute van Persie."
"The camera shows Torres on the stretcher, Torres is crying; getting injured in the final is indeed a major blow."
"Right, the coach chose him to start over many excellent forwards; surely Torres possesses superior qualities, but being forced off now is quite saddening."
[Fireworks] indeed.
"Torres is so fragile, AC Milan should sell him."
"Not really, at least he always recovers. AC Milan’s medical team is quite impressive."
"It’s normal for fast players to get injured; just look at Owen, Robben, and Ribery, they’ve all been injured often, Huang Kaiwen is also quite injury-prone."
"Damn, Owen’s performance dropped clearly after getting injured, but has Huang Kaiwen declined?"
"Don’t understand, perhaps Huang Kaiwen already has declined."
"Your understanding of decline is rather unique."
"Someone’s injured, AC Milan is trailing. This scenario is all too familiar; when Huang Kaiwen first transferred to AC Milan, he often came on to score crucial goals."
"Huang Kaiwen’s skills and mindset are undisputed, but today I don’t really have high hopes for him; if you’ve ever ridden a horse here, you’d know riding for long periods is tiring."
"Damn, of course, I know. But I have this feeling, Huang Kaiwen can still deliver."
"I feel the same way; Huang Kaiwen never misses a chance to show off."
Van Persie warmed up on the sidelines together.
He said, "Kevin, give me a pass if you get a chance."
"Sure, no problem."
Huang Kaiwen nodded and said.
"Can you add one more? I can’t score less than Robben, right?"
Van Persie asked expectantly.
"If there’s an opportunity, I’ll pass to you."
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.
Having received his assurance, van Persie warmed up even more vigorously.
Cesare Maldini walked to the sidelines again and asked, "Kevin, after you go on, can you create a goal within five minutes? The team’s not playing well today; I think we should stabilize the situation."
"I think Kevin can equalize for us in five minutes."
Van Persie said eagerly, raising five fingers.
At that moment, after Ribery beat a defender on the left and sent a back pass, Alonso’s long shot changed the score again.
Huang Kaiwen looked at the field, nodded, and spoke: "Hmm, five minutes!"
"Five minutes for what?"
Cesare Maldini asked.
"Solve the match in five minutes; today’s not the day for me to play too long."
Huang Kaiwen said bluntly.
Van Persie: ...
Cesare Maldini: ...
They hadn’t expected Huang Kaiwen to say such a thing so earnestly.
But coming from Huang Kaiwen’s mouth, it wasn’t really a problem.
"The referee raised the substitution board; AC Milan is subbing in two players at once."
