Chapter 480: Chapter 480

Taking advantage of Atletico Madrid preparing to take a corner kick, Huang Kaiwen walked back to the front of his team’s penalty area.

Balera was still following him, and Huang Kaiwen quite admired the guy.

Even though he hadn’t successfully snatched the ball even once, he still energetically stuck by his side.

Jurado took a run-up and took the corner kick. Pepe jumped and headed the ball out of the penalty area. Maniche swung a foot at the top of the penalty arc, kicking the ball off De Jong’s body toward the right flank. Ramos rushed up to head the ball back. Marcelo, standing in front of the left post, leapt sideways and nudged the ball toward the left flank.

Huang Kaiwen dashed out of the penalty area, stretching his foot between Maniche and Balera, and deflecting the ball forward.

Balera immediately reached out to pull him, but Huang Kaiwen swung his arm and easily shook him off, sprinting forward quickly with the ball towards Atletico Madrid’s half.

Atletico Madrid’s fans watched numbly at the field.

Balera had been trying very hard, chasing back with so much force that the veins on his forehead had popped out.

But what was the use of mere effort?

At the midfield line, he had been left more than 2 meters behind by Real Madrid’s number ten.

Now in their backfield, only Setaridis and Luis Pereira were left.

Many Atletico Madrid fans had a bad feeling in their hearts.

Setaridis knew that waiting was a slow death, rushing up there was a slim chance of life.

He charged at Huang Kaiwen, quickly stretching out his foot, but Huang Kaiwen was faster, his left toes nudging the ball forcefully behind and rolling it swiftly past Setaridis’s side toward the middle.

Huang Kaiwen charged past Setaridis.

Luis Pereira, who had been chasing for a long time, saw Huang Kaiwen directly ahead of him and summoned all his strength to accelerate.

When Huang Kaiwen reached right in front of the penalty area and received the pass again, Luis Pereira was already not far from him.

Atletico Madrid’s fans saw a glimmer of hope.

But Huang Kaiwen pushed the ball forward, reached the penalty area line, and directly took a left-footed shot. Leo Franco, positioned in the middle of the penalty area, dove and stretched his foot out, but touched nothing; the ball rolled straight through from the arc’s left side into the goal.

"A chance out of no chance, but Kevin, after receiving the ball in the backfield, sprinted 80 meters, bypassing three people, and eventually shot from the penalty area line to score."

"Kevin only bypassed three people, not because that’s all he could manage, but because his speed was so fast that he didn’t give the defenders a chance to position themselves, taking a shot from the penalty area line also showed the confidence Kevin has in his footwork, and only with such a big heart could anyone consecutively decide the fate of the trophy in the UEFA Champions League finals two years in a row!"

"The only suspense in today’s game is how many goals Kevin will score."

Guti, who had been chasing, caught up to Huang Kaiwen, wrapped his arm around Huang Kaiwen’s neck, raised four fingers excitedly, and exclaimed, "I knew you could score, I specifically ran over to celebrate with you."

"Well, thank you for that!"

Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.

While dribbling the ball, Huang Kaiwen wasn’t even sure he could score; Guti had more confidence in him than he did himself.

He, Huang Kaiwen, apparently had such a towering image in the eyes of his teammates.

Huang Kaiwen felt he should discuss Guti’s contract renewal with Calderon later.

Such an excellent player deserved a better contract.

Raul, who had run up, grabbed Huang Kaiwen and led him to the sidelines, also raising four fingers.

Having been insulted several times by Atletico Madrid fans, Raul was also fiery at heart.

The subsequent Real Madrid players who rushed up all raised four fingers.

While Ramos raised his hand, he also continuously cursed towards the stands.

Those journalists could write whatever they wanted, but Atletico Madrid fans daring to provoke Kevin?

"The two sides clashed again, and the actions of the Real Madrid players greatly displeased those from Atletico Madrid."

"Actually, it’s not surprising to see such scenes in today’s game. The Atletico Madrid fans had already sparked the fuse with their banner at the start, it was just a question of when it would explode. ’Good grief, Guti got a yellow card, Ramos got a yellow card, Balera got a yellow card, Petar Lutsin got a yellow card, showing four yellow cards in a row was just to intimidate the players from both sides, otherwise, sooner or later they were bound to start fighting.’

"Ah~ hehe, it’s too late to be firm now, the players on both sides can hardly control their temper, hehe, look at Marcelo, while walking he even sneakily gestured to the nearby stands, he blended into Real Madrid quite fast in this regard."

"The current Real Madrid, so passionate, all young people full of vigor."

Javier Aguirre, holding Luciano Galetti, walked to the sidelines and said, "Once you’re up there, get involved in the offense, give your teammates some help. As for defense, see how it goes."

Luciano Galetti shook his head and swaggered, making his final warm-up.

Going up without having to defend sounds pretty good.

Galetti doesn’t think he can stop Huang Kaiwen.

Aguirre walked back to the bench, unable to help shaking his head.

Initially, he had arranged for Balera, thinking that a fullback playing as a winger could at least limit Huang Kaiwen.

Isn’t that a normal thought?

Now, other teams facing Real Madrid also have special players to mark Real Madrid’s number ten, so using a fullback is even more thorough!

But Balera’s performance and the effect of this tactical arrangement greatly disappointed Aguirre.

He knew that it wasn’t Balera’s fault, Huang Kaiwen was just in too good form today.

Huang Kaiwen, though he didn’t use any technical moves to dribble past players, that incredible speed, more direct than any move, made it impossible for his players to defend.

Aguirre felt that since Balera couldn’t make any impact on the field anyway, it might be better to try an attacking player instead; even if he couldn’t defend, he could still help the team offensively.

If it weren’t absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t want to make a substitution at mid-half.

The first half had only gone for 40 minutes, and they were already trailing 1:4. If he didn’t make a change, he’d have to resign after the game today.

After the substitution, Atletico Madrid’s attack gradually improved.

In the 42nd minute, Maniche seized the opportunity and made a precise long pass to the front.

Torres timed his start, pushing the ball forward with his chest and driving towards Real Madrid’s defensive line.

As Ramos extended his leg, Torres pulled the ball back and changed direction with his left foot.

Pepe timed it right and extended his right foot, poking the ball behind Torres.

Ramos and Jurado both rushed towards the ball, Ramos twisting his body to shield it from Jurado, passing it down the left flank.

Marcelo received the ball and immediately pushed it forward to Huang Kaiwen, who rushed forward with the ball.

Maniche and Petar Lutsin both charged at Huang Kaiwen.

After a brief exchange, Maniche chose to slide tackle; as Huang Kaiwen pulled the ball back with his left foot to turn, Petar Lutsin extended his left foot, forcing Huang Kaiwen to quickly stop and pass back to Guti, who then ran forward without the ball.

Guti, after crossing the halfway line, sent a diagonal assist to Marcelo in the front.

Marcelo, reaching the top corner of the large penalty area on the left, planned to cross, seeing Huang Kaiwen’s position; Setaridis pressed forward, Marcelo flicked it with his left foot, sidestepping to send a cross with his right foot.

The ball flew directly to the middle of the large penalty area, Huang Kaiwen judged the landing spot, turned around, and leapt up with both legs powered, catching everyone off guard with his bicycle kick; Ze Castro had just stepped forward, but Huang Kaiwen’s left foot had already hit the ball.

Standing at the left post, Leo Franco quickly extended his hand to jump, but the ball flew past his hand into the net.

"Another five-goal performance in a single game, a brilliant bicycle kick, the opposing players could only watch..."

Crudeli’s voice abruptly stopped, and even the fans in front of the TV could hear Capello’s hoarse cry, "Medic, medic!!!"
