Capítulo 1248: Chapter 377: I Can See Through His Fakes

Xavi received the ball and immediately faced pressure from Ballack.

He quickly passed the ball back.

Silvinho stepped forward to receive the ball and made another quick pass.

Essien rushed up, and Xavi ran past Ballack without daring to stop, immediately passing to the left.

Ramos anticipated his pass and intercepted the ball before Henry.

“Ramos is defending exceptionally well now. Before leaving Real Madrid, Henry had played tricks on Ramos a few times when he first transferred to Barca, but since the start of today’s game, Henry hasn’t had the advantage over Ramos.”

After grabbing the ball, Ramos tried a long pass, but Xavi read his intentions and blocked the ball out of bounds with his foot.

Ramos turned back and gestured, and the ball boy quickly wiped the ball a few times and tossed it to Ramos.

Ramos received the ball, turned, and unexpectedly threw it to the backfield, catching the Barca players set to defend off guard.

The ball was somewhat sudden. Terry stretched his foot to block it, and Carvalho, seeing Cole’s position, deliberately stepped aside, allowing Ashley Cole to successfully receive the ball on the left.

The ball shifted unexpectedly to the left, and Barca’s defense had not yet adjusted; Ashley Cole received the ball and swiftly nudged it with his arm.

The ball quickly flew over Iniesta’s head.

Huang Kaiwen, running, lifted his right foot and stopped the ball behind him, quickly pulling the ball in front.

Busquets was already prepared in front of Huang Kaiwen.

Huang Kaiwen also focused intensely as Bu is a heavyweight opponent.

Apart from his exceptional acting skills, Bu enjoys sliding tackles with his enormous body, which is quite different from Piqué, who dislikes tackles.

Aware of Bu’s traits, Huang Kaiwen tapped with his left foot, aiming to move to the middle, not giving him a chance to handle or wait for Puyol to come for assistance.

Busquets quickly panicked and directly grabbed Huang Kaiwen’s arm.

At this time, Puyol also charged up; Huang Kaiwen immediately turned around and pulled the ball underfoot.

A successful Marseille turn circumvented Puyol, who also chased back, reaching out.

But as an old adversary, Huang Kaiwen was prepared.

After turning, he gave Puyol no time and accelerated, cutting diagonally into the penalty area, leaving Puyol grasping at air.

Toure was almost taking step-by-step defense, side-on.

This posture indicated he was ready for a chase if he was bypassed.

Almost simultaneously with Guardiola’s call, Huang Kaiwen angled with his right foot and swung a powerful kick.

The ball flew fast and unexpectedly; Valdes was evidently slow to react, diving a bit late, unfortunately rolling out from the side of the post.

Mourinho and Abramovich reacted identically, both clutching their heads in disappointment.

A frightened Guardiola stood on the sidelines, shouting frantically: “I told you, you should know. When defending Kevin, you must stay close, defend closely, don’t give him a chance to suddenly shoot. Don’t you want the championship? This is criminal, understand? Not defending closely equals giving him a shooting chance, giving him a shooting chance equals giving up the championship…”

His speech was as rapid as a machine gun, constantly clapping his hands.

Huang Kaiwen shook his head regretfully, walking back.

Every time he used a new [Experience Card] there was an adaption phase.

Every player has different technical and power levels, just like getting a new weapon in a game, needing time to adjust to the feel.

Otherwise, such a good opportunity could have been a successful sneak attack.

Huntelaar jogged alongside Huang Kaiwen and walked back together, saying, “That ball almost went in, I feel like the shoes affected your performance.”

This fellow’s angle is quite tricky.

Huang Kaiwen hadn’t even thought of this reason himself.

Today’s shoe brand, though new, was actually modified by the sponsor to avoid affecting the Yellow Ball King’s performance, simply altering the Falcon model’s color to fake a new product, but actual new shoes will be worn next season.

Huang Kaiwen had already worn them several times during training and found no difference.

Barca started the ball again from the backfield.

Huang Kaiwen waved for Huntelaar to go up and press Busquets while he roamed beside Iniesta.

Facing Barca, pressure must be applied on their midfield; they shouldn’t be allowed to pass freely.

Not finding any opportunity, Piqué actually kicked the ball long in the backfield. Newest update provided by novel~fire~net

Guardiola’s gaze almost murderous.

Barca’s aerial competitiveness was always weak, wasn’t this handing over possession?

The ball flew over the midfield circle and was headed forward by Ballack.

Xavi darted to the top of the arc, received the ball, and quickly angled a pass.

Messi in the middle received the ball and passed back, Xavi saw the opportunity and dribbled forward.

Ballack and Mikel chased back with him, but Chelsea players failed to notice the unguarded Eto’o on the wing.

Xavi suddenly sent a through ball, Eto’o received it on the right, entered the box, a quick stop tricked Carvalho, then cut towards the middle to shoot.

Almost as he shot, Mikel’s sliding tackle took him down, but the ball nestled into the net.

Excited Barca players followed Eto’o rushing to the corner flag area.

Stadio Olimpico Rome echoed with deafening boos.

“1:0, Barca has taken the lead.”

“Yes, despite Chelsea’s consecutive attacks, Barca has been the first to score.”

“That’s football for you. Unfortunately, whoever shoots more doesn’t necessarily win; the key is whether the ball goes in. Puyol’s previous foul not giving a penalty somewhat affected the Chelsea players’ morale.”
