Chapter 432: Chapter 432

Capello clapped with a stern face and said, "Alright, focus on defense in the second half, I don’t want to see you guys lose the ball for no reason again."

"Come on, Madrid, come on, Madrid..."

Fifteen minutes passed.

Players from both teams returned to the pitch amidst the singing at the Bernabéu.

Not long after the second half had started, Juan de Ramos substituted Renato with Chevantón.

"A forward for a midfielder, Juan de Ramos is getting ready to go all out," someone commented.

"Hard to say, really hard to say. Although the substitution is courageous, facing Real Madrid’s forward line today, continuing to reduce the numbers in midfield might be a bit overconfident, right? With Huang Kaiwen and Ronaldo, and behind them Beckham and Guti, one using long passes and the other through balls, they can provide a lot of support for the forwards. By Sevilla swapping out a midfielder, it makes it easier for Real Madrid’s players to pass the ball to the forwards."

"Sevilla is still attacking from the right, with the young players Navas and Alves, both in their early twenties, this right flank is pressing against the stars Raul and Carlos."

"This is what you call youth being a formidable force. Wow, Alves’s dribbling skills are truly impressive. After all, Raul isn’t a defender by trade, so it’s not surprising he’s bypassed."

Alves dribbled past the midfield line, not continuing along the flank but instead cutting in diagonally towards the center with the right foot.

After Renato went off, linking the frontline and the backline would require other players to get more involved in organizing the attack from the middle, and Alves was capable of doing just that.

Emerson rushed up to press, and Alves immediately passed to the left wing.

Adriano, with a left-footed flick, moved the ball outward, trying to showcase his skills against Salgado, who tackled him along with the ball out of play.

"Yellow card, this move could easily have been a red card, today’s referee isn’t so strict."

"Sevilla’s free kick; they scored from a set piece in the first half. Let’s watch this opportunity."

Alves stood at the spot of the foul.

After the referee’s whistle, Alves took a run-up and launched the ball towards the middle of the penalty area.

Sevilla’s three forwards rushed towards where the ball was landing. Ramos jumped and collided with Fabiano and didn’t get off the ground.

As Kanoute was about to successfully connect with the ball, Casillas dashed from the goal line to the middle of the six-yard box and leaped to punch the ball out.

"Dangerous! Casillas was very decisive this time. The ball flew to the edge of the penalty area, and a melee ensued. Ramos rushed out of the penalty area to clear the ball."

The ball swiftly flew back towards the center circle.

Huang Kaiwen, who had been observing the landing spot, immediately started running forward.

Just as the ball was about to land, Guti elegantly lifted his foot behind him and with a back-heel pass sent the ball ahead.

Xavi Navarro raised his hand to signal for offside, but not hearing the whistle, he could only chase back along with his teammates.

While running, Huang Kaiwen sidestepped, letting the ball land perfectly in front of him without slowing down. He flicked it with his left foot and swiftly dashed toward Sevilla’s penalty area.

Navarro clenched his teeth and chased desperately.

If he hadn’t raised his hand earlier, causing him to start a step slower, he wouldn’t be so embarrassingly outpaced.

Julien Escude, chasing behind Huang Kaiwen, was plainly three meters behind.

The two chasing Sevilla players didn’t stand much of a chance.

The fans at Bernabéu Stadium were already anticipating the next goal.

As the distance to the penalty area narrowed, Huang Kaiwen put more power into his steps and accelerated again.

Andres Palop waited in the penalty area for the right moment, his scattered steps fully displaying the Sevilla goalkeeper’s inner turmoil, still undecided whether to rush out of the penalty area.

As he reached the front of the penalty area, Huang Kaiwen felt a sudden stop underfoot, the ball fell behind.

The Sevilla players saw Huang Kaiwen slow down, and almost simultaneously, they started forward.

Palop chose to charge at Huang Kaiwen, while Julien Escude, following up, also took the chance to slide tackle from behind.

Huang Kaiwen stretched his left foot behind him, pulling the ball from his left side to his front, then without adjusting, directly kicked with his left foot.

Palop and Escude both thought Huang Kaiwen would continue to carry the ball forward another step; this slight misjudgment left the Sevilla goalkeeper and defender crashing into each other, completely failing to interfere with Huang Kaiwen.

The ball easily rolled into the open goal.

After scoring, Huang Kaiwen pointed to the sky with both hands, mimicking Kaka’s celebration gesture.

Kaka had planned to postpone his engagement for a while longer.

But during a previous away league game, after being proposed to by a fervent female fan, he promptly announced his engagement news on the spot.

This engagement was hastily arranged, and Huang Kaiwen hadn’t managed to attend.

He now took the moment to offer congratulations, planning to have Beatrice send a gift later.

Huang Kaiwen himself didn’t know what to give a child in his family for an engagement, maybe matching watches for Kaka and Beatrice, or perhaps sending a small island would be nice.

"Huang Kaiwen scores another goal."

"The consequence of Sevilla reducing the number of people in the middle is just . Huang Kaiwen’s efficiency in counter-attacks is absolutely world-class. Back then, his offensive partnership with Kaka had all of Europe terrified, giving them any chance at a counter-attack, it was almost a sure win."

"Hehe, whether it’s in counter-attacks or positional attacks, Huang Kaiwen’s performance is always outstanding. Of course, Guti’s pass this time is also very elegant, a look back and a back-heel, precisely finding Huang Kaiwen."

"Right, the cooperation between the two of them is also very good. Huang Kaiwen seems to be able to blend with anyone he plays with. When he’s on the field, Real Madrid’s attack is truly different. What Capello is most worried about now is Huang Kaiwen’s injury issue. As long as Huang Kaiwen stays uninjured, everything is manageable."
