Chapter 1225: Chapter 373: The Fourth Official Is Warming Up
“Yeah, Drogba often acts as a pivot, passing to the wings and to Lampard behind him. This season, he’s also providing more support to Huang Kaiwen, and Huntelaar might be developing in this direction as well.”
Quaresma walked up to Huang Kaiwen and asked, “Should I take it?”
He doesn’t really like contesting headers in set pieces, so he wanted to take the corner kick instead.
Huang Kaiwen nodded and handed the right to take the kick to Quaresma.
Seeing Huang Kaiwen walking into the penalty area, Maldini directly used his arms to block Huang Kaiwen’s back.
“Old man, is this really necessary?”
“If I don’t defend you, Milan will concede another goal.”
Maldini said with a smile, “I really cherish the opportunity to go head-to-head with you, so those kids can see their father’s strength.”
Huang Kaiwen shook his head helplessly.
The way this guy talks so pitiful yet passionate, Yellow Ball King couldn’t bear to score in front of him.
I’ll stop after scoring two more goals today.
Quaresma took the run-up and delivered the corner kick.
It was a right-side corner; he’s right-footed, but this kick was an inswinger with the outside of his foot and had a curve similar to what a left-footer would deliver.
However, this time it wasn’t high enough, and Hummels jumped up and headed it out straight away.
Huang Kaiwen quickly rushed out of the penalty area, Maldini didn’t follow, and Gattuso took over to mark Huang Kaiwen.
The ball returned to the right side again; Quaresma, who came out from the corner flag area, dribbled the ball himself towards the penalty area.
With too many people in the penalty area, he couldn’t find an opportunity, so he stayed on the edge of the penalty area line looking for his chance.
Seeing Huang Kaiwen making his move, Quaresma decisively delivered a chip pass.
Starting from outside the penalty area, Huang Kaiwen quickly shook off Gattuso, rushed into the penalty area, and jumped up. Maldini hadn’t even had time to jump to his highest point before Huang Kaiwen headed the ball fiercely into the goal over his head.
After scoring, Huang Kaiwen collided with Maldini and both fell onto the grass.

“Kevin, should we call the team doctor?”
“Kevin, can you still go on?”
Both teams’ players hardly cared about the goal, rushing over to check on Huang Kaiwen’s condition.
Especially Kaka, who squeezed next to Ramos with his slender frame, accidentally kicking Maldini’s leg.
Lying on the grass, Maldini felt exhaustion sweeping over his body like a tide, but he still relied on an astonishing willpower to support himself on the grass and sit up.
The ball might be lost, but dignity cannot be.
He didn’t want anyone to see his weak side.
Huang Kaiwen hadn’t even finished speaking.
The referee Henning blew the whistle.
“Goal disallowed!!! The referee has ruled the goal invalid; it should be for Huang Kaiwen’s collision with Maldini, an attacking foul.”
“Truth be told, Huang Kaiwen jumped and headed the ball before colliding with Maldini; this shouldn’t have been ruled out. Chelsea players couldn’t stand it anymore, they went up and surrounded the referee for an explanation. Even Maldini was stunned, he probably didn’t expect the goal to be disallowed. This level of contact wasn’t anything excessive.”
“Faria rushed to the sideline to demand an explanation from the fourth official, it’s chaos, complete chaos. Ballack, who had been substituted off, was roaring angrily on the sidelines. If he hadn’t been taken off, he might have directly attacked the referee.”
“There’s no other way, Ballack has had too many runner-ups in his life; he desperately wants a UEFA Champions League title.”
[Andy Carroll] wasn’t involved.
“Damn, is this referee a dog?”
“This is truly disgusting; I used to think no referee was more of an idiot than Mike Dean until I watched today’s match.”
“Feels like Henning is targeting Chelsea; he doesn’t want Chelsea to enter the UEFA Champions League final.”
“That’s normal; Abramovich is inherently unpopular; Russians are not acknowledged by Europeans, Mourinho is always criticizing referees, so not wanting them to reach the final makes sense.”
“You forgot to mention Huang Kaiwen; Huang Kaiwen has won the UEFA Champions League for four consecutive years. Didn’t a Spanish journalist previously say that if Huang Kaiwen continues to dominate the Champions League, it would lose its value?”
“That’s nonsense, Huang Kaiwen transfers around and hasn’t monopolized the Champions League with one team.”
“Then go tell UEFA, anyway, if it wasn’t for the biased refereeing today, I’m never playing Dance Dance Revolution again.”
“Damn it, you jerk; you dogs loudly typing in internet cafes, every time I get on a machine, a certain button doesn’t work, switch out still doesn’t work.”
“Yeah, people who play Dance Dance Revolution are really annoying, I was watching a video and kept hearing clicking sounds, nearly scared me to death.”
Because of the protest, Huang Kaiwen, Huntelaar, and Ramos all received yellow cards.
If it weren’t for the fact that sending off too many players would cause more controversy, Henning was even thinking about giving Chelsea players red cards.
The Chelsea players, having lost their cool, were already cursing; insulting the referee could warrant an immediate red card, but after all, it was the UEFA Champions League semi-final, he had to consider the ramifications.
“Forget it, let’s head back!”
Huang Kaiwen wrapped his arm around Ramos’s shoulder and said.
Ramos was somewhat reluctant.
“Don’t get a red card, otherwise, even if we make it to the finals, you wouldn’t be able to play.”
Huang Kaiwen advised.
Ramos didn’t resist anymore, allowing Huang Kaiwen to wrap his arm around his shoulders as they walked back.
Having just been freed from the Chelsea players, Henning immediately ran to the sideline, called over by the fourth official.
He went over without any kindness, directly showing red cards to Faria and Ballack.
Faria instantly erupted in rage.
