Chapter 463: Chapter 463
"Raul, the Prince of Bernabeu!"
"The Lord of the Rings kisses the ring once more."
"Huang Kaiwen’s corner this time was just a short pass, but we all know that since he started playing in Milan, these corner routines are all Huang Kaiwen’s ideas, and that was a really beautiful play."
"Hehe, the Bayern players clearly haven’t seen this routine before, they were just focused on the near and middle post, not noticing Raul at the far post, Kahn was too late to defend the right post."
"10 minutes into the game, Real Madrid scores first, Bayern just took a heavy blow, Huang Kaiwen hasn’t even unleashed his power, and they’ve already lost the ball."
Huang Kaiwen went to the penalty area to celebrate with his teammates.
He returned to the team yesterday for training, practiced two corner routines, and now they have come into play?
It’s the same old saying.
Tactical corners work best when used occasionally.
Today, Yellow Ball King drew a small tent that’s already in a slump, so he needs to come up with more ideas.
The mind governs others, the hand serves others.
Even if Yellow Ball King’s "experience card" isn’t good, he remains Real Madrid’s steadying force.
"Kevin has orchestrated another goal for Real Madrid, what a beautiful corner!"
Barbara, watching the game from her office, frowned.
The young lady took out her phone, made a call, and coldly said after it connected, "After today’s match, tell the person commenting on Real Madrid’s UEFA Champions League to get lost!"
The UEFA Champions League kicked off at the same time; Milan and Real Madrid’s games clashed. Crudeli couldn’t commentate on this match, and her family’s TV station commentators are useless, only capable of saying ’beautiful.’
Why don’t you explain how it’s beautiful?!
[Huang Kaiwen’s match] among others.
"Damn, Huang Kaiwen is really cunning with these tactical corners, they’re tough to defend against."
"Honestly, it’s a good thing Huang Kaiwen pours his energy into the field, if he focused on business, he might ruin others."
"Do you think there’s another possibility, that Huang Kaiwen can paint and is pretty good at giving speeches? If he didn’t play soccer, he’d probably be a scourge to Europe."
"Damn, I’m actually looking forward to that, but Huang Kaiwen wouldn’t have such a big influence if he didn’t play soccer."
"Ai, it’s really clear now that Huang Kaiwen graduated from Northern University of Science and Technology. How come these European youngsters can’t see through his schemes, his tactical corners always succeed."
Capello, with his feet spread in a seven-star stance on the sidelines, had a gleam in his eyes beneath his glasses.
Apart from both being human, Capello found another similarity between him and Kevin: they were both clever.
Bayern restarted the game, beginning with a pass back to organize.
Lucio took the ball in the backfield and carried it forward himself.
He had more offensive qualities than Ramos.
Faced with Raul’s pressing, Lucio sidestepped to push Raul away with his body and carried the ball towards the center circle.
Guti, positioned forward, went to tackle, but Lucio tapped the ball forward and used his body to break past Guti yet again.
"Good fellow, Lucio is about to take the ball into Real Madrid’s penalty area by himself."
"Lucio, the defender with exceptionally good footwork, whether in Leverkusen or Bayern, often brings the ball upfield... De Jong’s sliding tackle is avoided, Lucio makes a diagonal pass to Podolski, shot on goal!"
"Podolski’s shot gets blocked by Cannavaro’s leg and rebounds out of the box."
Carlos got to the ball before Van Bommel, passing it straight to Huang Kaiwen.
Huang Kaiwen received the ball and turned around, charging into Bayern’s half.
Hargreaves charged toward Huang Kaiwen, and Lahm, very decisively, also ran toward Huang Kaiwen, not waiting for Huang Kaiwen to break through to the vicinity of the defense line.
Iguain, who had been hovering in the defensive line, noticed the disturbance on the left flank and quickly ran toward the left side of the penalty area.
Huang Kaiwen’s left foot directly curled beneath the ball.
The ball flew over Lahm’s head and dropped not far from Iguain.
Iguain took the ball into the penalty area from the left, Van Bommel approached him but did not stretch out his foot right away, only positioning himself sideways to prevent Iguain from suddenly shooting.
Raul, who had surged to the arc’s crest, shouted.
Huang Kaiwen and Lahm ran side by side toward the left rib of the penalty area.
Seeing Lahm’s position, Huang Kaiwen did not run into the penalty area immediately.
Iguain hesitated for two seconds before passing back with one kick.
Demichelis slid the ball to the left in front of Raul, Lahm suddenly started and charged to the ball in front of Huang Kaiwen, immediately turning around to pass it to Hargreaves.
Huang Kaiwen shook his head and ran back.
Lahm, the defender, was very intelligent, this time he and Lahm were both waiting for the opportunity.
Actually, both men started at the same time, and at such a short distance, it was hard to tell who was faster, but Lahm’s positioning closer to the penalty area gave him the advantage, so he was able to get to the ball first.
Hargreaves took a few steps forward, just as Lucio, who was initiating the attack, ran back, Hargreaves quickly tapped the ball sideways to him.
Lucio, who hadn’t yet reached the defensive line, continued to charge with the ball toward Real Madrid’s half.
Anyone watching his performance wouldn’t think he was a defender.
Confronted by Guti’s pressure, Lucio used his right foot to pull the ball and ran toward the left flank.
Sagnol, who had darted forward, quickly switched to the center and continued to charge forward, as having three players in a small area on the flank made little sense with Schweinsteiger already there.
Ramos pressed on, and Lucio passed quickly to the left flank.
Schweinsteiger sent a diagonal pass, Lucio rushed up and got the ball again, saw De Jong lower his center of gravity and immediately tapped it sideways to Sagnol in the middle, who passed the ball toward the front of the penalty area.
Lucio received the ball in front of the penalty area and nudged it with his right foot.
Pepe and Cannavaro stretched out their feet instinctively at the same time, but neither could touch the ball.
Lucio charged into the penalty area with the ball, forming a clear chance. De Jong, who had backtracked into the area, lowered his center of gravity and slid in for a tackle. Lucio twisted his body and fired a left-footed shot, the ball flying past the grounded Casillas and into the far corner of the goal.
"Lucio, twice taking the ball to the front on his own, finally helps Bayern to level the score."
"Hehe, while Lucio was running, Mackay and Podolski had both moved to the right flank; they’re probably wondering who exactly is the forward."
"Lucio’s performance today has been outstanding, even though he hasn’t contributed much defensively, these two attacking plays have been critical."
"Indeed, now that Bayern has leveled the score, even more importantly, this is an away goal. After being behind, this Brazilian, no, this Brazilian defender has stood out."
"During this round of defense, Pepe and Cannavaro clearly lacked understanding. Both of them stretching out their feet at once gave Lucio the opportunity to split them and go for a clear chance; these two will have to adjust their division of labor moving forward, absolutely not both going for the ball at the same time."
The goal-scorer Lucio rushed to the corner flag area and slid to his knees, and his Bayern teammates all surged up to celebrate.
The Bayern fans in the visiting supporters’ stand at the Bernabéu Stadium roared crazily, chanting the name of their hero.
From coach Capello to the Meringues, everyone at the Bernabéu was very composed.
Even the opposition’s wild celebrations at the Bernabéu didn’t provoke any reaction because they knew that soon, number ten would once again orchestrate an attack.
Other teams can score at Real Madrid’s home ground, but they can’t expect to take away a victory.
