Huang Kaiwen walked away with a smile.
“It’s just an endorsement, why are you making such a fuss over it.”
If they knew about the Ballon d’Or, wouldn’t they die of jealousy?
Kaka and Fat Ancelotti were quite reliable.
They didn’t tell anyone.
Seeing Huang Kaiwen, Ancelotti nodded in greeting and asked, “Do you want to play in tomorrow’s league match?”
“I’ll be on the bench,”
After all, he just wanted to take the chance to eliminate the risk of injury.
Anytime was good for him to play.
Being on the bench made it easier to manage.
If luck turned against him and he got a poor “experience card,” he could negotiate with Fat Ancelotti not to play.
Despite having won the Ballon d’Or, there was no need to provide Spanish and English journalists with material to slander him before the award ceremony.
Ancelotti nodded, handed Huang Kaiwen the familiar black cloth bag, and said, “I’ve been studying Chinese methods lately, alchemy using minerals and metals, right?
After many failures, I finally made it work, it’s sure to be effective.”
“Something to eat?” Huang Kaiwen cautiously asked.
Anchelotti looked at Huang Kaiwen with anticipation and nodded, “Yes!”
“Shouldn’t I take it just before tomorrow’s match?”
Huang Kaiwen asked reluctantly.
“The elixir also needs time to take effect.
If you take it now, it will work just right by tomorrow.”
Seeing Fat Ancelotti’s gaze,
Huang Kaiwen knew he couldn’t escape it today.
Luckily, he had learned some pick-up magic tricks from short videos before.
He unwrapped the package and took out the murky-looking elixir in his palm.
Pretended to put it in his mouth.
[Tom Hanks] level acting, his throat making a swallowing motion.
He finally fooled Ancelotti.
Once in the gym, Huang Kaiwen threw away the object in his palm.
He was also feeling a sense of relief.
Although Fat Ancelotti had become , most of it was the doing of a certain Mr.
But now he couldn’t handle it anymore.
If this continued, he might just beat Ancelotti to it.
San Siro Stadium welcomed the 13th round of the league.
The opponent, Lecce, was ranked 19th.
Before the Ballon d’Or ceremony, there was just this one match left.
When getting dressed, Huang Kaiwen decided to draw a card.
If he was unlucky today, he wouldn’t play.
[Ding, you’ve obtained the 2006-2007 UEFA Champions League semi-final, Kaka single match experience card]
Huang Kaiwen was stunned.
This was the first time he had obtained a teammate’s “experience card.”
The 2006-2007 season doesn’t need to be mentioned, it was Kaka’s legendary season.
And for that match, Huang Kaiwen remembered it very clearly.
World-class Kaka singlehandedly toyed with Manchester United’s top-notch defensive line.
Huang Kaiwen sighed with relief.
Seems like he could still make an appearance before the Ballon d’Or and leave a deeper impression on the fans.
Claiming a stomachache,
Huang Kaiwen didn’t participate in the warm-up.
When the match began, he sat on the bench alongside Inzaghi.
As for Kaka, he hadn’t fully recovered yet and was hanging out in the stands.
Just 3 minutes into the game,
Pirlo scored against Lecce with a direct free kick.
Milan playing against a weak team and showing such performance was not surprising at all.
Inzaghi said with a pout, “Andre is going to be smug again, that’s only his third goal of the season.”
“A forward comparing goal tallies with a midfielder, why don’t you compare with the goalkeeper too?
Just a few days ago, Sheva scored four, and he’s getting closer to your Champions League goal count.”
Huang Kaiwen retorted with a pout.
“It’s all because of you!” Inzaghi complained, wrapping his arm around Huang Kaiwen’s neck.
“What does it have to do with me?
Sheva stays on the right flank more, and I’ve barely assisted him a few times.”
“If you could assist me a few more times, then I could be leading by even more!” Inzaghi retorted righteously.
Inzaghi’s logic was rigorous.
Huang Kaiwen nodded and asked, “Then why don’t you start more in the Champions League?
When I play in the Champions League, I want to pass but I can’t even find you.”
Inzaghi was momentarily at a loss for words.
Huffing, he turned his head away and stopped talking to Huang Kaiwen.
At the 41st minute of the first half, Lecce equalized the score.
Konan, playing winger for the opposite team, received the ball in front of the penalty area and succeeded in thrwarting the offside trap, sending the ball into Milan’s net.
The atmosphere in Milan’s locker room was somewhat heavy.
Nesta and Stam, this pair of central defenders,
after moving to the right—one taking over as right-back and the other as right-center-back—exposed some problems.
The opponent’s goal had been scored from their side again.
Because of the conceded goal, the two had a brief argument.
“We’ll definitely score again, both of you be careful and stop bickering like children,” Maldini intervened conciliatorily.
Nesta pointed at Stam and said, “You ask him!”
“What’s wrong with me?” Stam cocked his head and asked Nesta.
“They could score because you turned too slowly!”
“Stop arguing, when I get on the field, I’ll score a few more and you rookies can make mistakes as much as you want,” Inzaghi butted in.
Nesta and Stam both raised their middle fingers together.
The locker room was filled with lively spirits again.
However, the second half of the match was not as simple as imagined.
For Lecce, struggling to avoid relegation, every point was precious.
Even against Milan, they had their own ambitions.
Starting the second half, Lecce displayed a tenacious defensive attitude.
Their entire lineup retreated to their own half, and they passed the ball to the left winger Axel Konan when they had the chance, letting this fast and powerful player counter-attack.
Milan’s frequent attacks still didn’t produce a goal-scoring opportunity.
By the 73rd minute of the second half, the San Siro Stadium fans had lost their patience.
Ancelotti accordingly sent the substitutes to warm up.
“Inzaghi and Huang Kaiwen are warming up, looks like both of them are going to play.”
“AC Milan fans are calling for Huang Kaiwen to be substituted, but even for Huang Kaiwen, today won’t be an easy day.
Although Lecce’s not that strong, they are very organized in defense, and Huang Kaiwen simply can’t find any gaps to exploit,” remarked the commentator
“We’ll see about that during the match,” replied the co-commentator.
“All right, Inzaghi and Huang Kaiwen are on, Toni and Gattuso are off, and now Milan doesn’t have a single dedicated defensive player in the midfield and attack, Ancelotti is really going for broke,” announced the commentator.
“Hmm, if I’m not mistaken, today is the first time Huang Kaiwen and Seedorf are playing together,” observed the co-commentator.
Huang Kaiwen jogged onto the field to the left flank.
[Kaka]’s feel for the ball and technique were not bad.
Huang Kaiwen also wanted to try and see how strong Kaka was on the flank!
“Pass it to me!” Inzaghi reminded Huang Kaiwen.
Huang Kaiwen nodded, humorously acknowledging Inzaghi.
As for whether he’d actually pass, that was another matter.
Pirlo started with the ball in the backfield and passed it horizontally to Seedorf.
Konan immediately charged to press.
Seedorf dribbled to avoid pressure and then made a long pass to shift play to the left wing.
Serginho took the ball and after a few steps, passed it straight to Huang Kaiwen’s feet.
Huang Kaiwen received the ball just past the halfway line.
He was immediately surrounded by the opposition.
Valdes, the opposing winger, trailed on the side.
Vucinic had also come back to defend, joined by two midfielders.
With four Lecce players around him, Huang Kaiwen had no choice but to pass back.
Milan switched back to organizing play from the defense.
For a time, Milan really couldn’t find any opportunities to score.
