CHAPTER 1422: CHAPTER 410: THE YELLOW BALL KING FORGIVES THE GERMANS

"Beautiful, Kevin!!!"

Huntelaar gave Huang Kaiwen a firm hug.

Bale rushed over, still feeling a bit annoyed.

Modric stood in place, watching one teammate after another rush forward.

Watching Huang Kaiwen play on TV before was impressive.

Seeing it live was even more astonishing.

The difference between the start and playing for a while is completely different.

If the opponent’s formation doesn’t spread out, the difficulty of breaking through directly increases a lot.

He thought Huang Kaiwen would use some fancy footwork to keep the ball on the left side, attracting defensive attention, and then pass the ball out.

But to his surprise, Huang Kaiwen went straight in.

Just now, he was standing behind Huang Kaiwen, watching his movements clearly.

During the fake shot, there was a shoulder feint, which made Henderson move his foot to the right.

Entering the penalty area, he noticed Bardsley stepping up.

Huang Kaiwen flicked the ball, still lifting his shoulder, pretending to take the ball to the left.

So Bardsley on the flank didn’t come up immediately, and it was Locke Cana’s slide tackle from the middle that was the first defensive move.

Comparing to Huang Kaiwen’s skills.

Modric was more shocked by his awareness and reaction speed.

Seeing him on TV before frequently gave the impression that Huang Kaiwen’s speed and explosiveness were amazing, making him a step ahead.

But actually being a teammate nearby to observe.

Modric then felt that Huang Kaiwen truly played smartly.

No wonder Bale said he’d find opportunities to pass the ball to Huang Kaiwen.

Modric couldn’t help but smile wryly.

During his time at Tottenham, he paid more attention to the timing of his passes.

That is, the so-called key passes.

Tottenham’s forwards were fast, but their awareness and shooting skills were lacking.

To assist them required working on his passing technique.

That’s why he developed a habit of holding the ball and waiting for a good opportunity before passing it out.

But now it seems that this playing habit needs some adjustment.

At Chelsea, it seems like you can just send any ball and get an assist.

This too is a delightful dilemma.

"Hey, hey!!!"

At just 49 years old, Steve Bruce already had gray hair, clapping and shouting on the sidelines: "Everyone get your spirits up, don’t let them easily enter the penalty area at will. If we win, each one of you will be a hero!"

A Manchester United captain who doesn’t want to succeed Ferguson isn’t a good Manchester United captain.

Steve Bruce also wanted to return to coach Manchester United.

Currently, his results seemed to be lacking.

A few defenders simultaneously rolled their eyes.

It was unexpected that a coach with a defender background could say something like this.

Just a few days ago, you said Manchester United players couldn’t defend against Cantona in training, so try defending against an even better player than Cantona.

The players from both sides returned to the midfield.

Waiting for the kick-off.

Henderson’s gaze at Huang Kaiwen was full of complexity.

Sunderland restarted the game.

Passing horizontally to the flank immediately.

Joe Murphy quickly carried the ball forward, and as he dribbled, the ball was quite far from his foot.

Bale spotted the opportunity and dashed up.

His speed was much faster than Murphy’s, rushing to the ball first. With a flick of his right foot, he couldn’t give the ball to the left foot’s left side, forcing Bale to adjust and turn around.

Joe Murphy had already caught up behind Bale.

The two tangled at the front, leaving Bale no choice but to pass back.

"You can see that Bale is still quite awkward playing on the right flank."

"Yes, Mourinho probably sees Bale’s speed and aggression and wants to convert him into a winger, but Chelsea’s left side is Huang Kaiwen’s position, leaving Bale to play on the right flank."

"Actually, playing a left-footed player on the right is better nowadays. With the decline of wing crossing tactics, inverted wingers cutting inside has become the choice for big clubs. Although Huang Kaiwen is left-footed, he’s also excellent with his right foot, making it difficult for Bale to compete with Huang Kaiwen."

"Haha, I don’t see Bale succeeding on the right flank. Back when Robben played on the right at Real Madrid alongside Huang Kaiwen, it was awkward too. It was only at Bayern that he showcased his true level."

"Wow, look at that, Ramos hoisted the ball directly into the penalty area, Huntelaar’s header pass was blocked by Locke Cana, Chelsea’s corner."

Modric instinctively walked towards the left corner flag area.

"Kevin, are you taking the kick?"

Ballack came up to ask.

Modric paused.

Huang Kaiwen smiled and shook his head, saying: "Let Luca do it, he took corners at Tottenham."

Ballack said nothing and directly moved to the penalty area.

Huang Kaiwen walked into the penalty area, with Henderson immediately sticking to him.

After being toyed by Huang Kaiwen before, he certainly did not want to give him another chance.

Seeing this, Huang Kaiwen led Henderson away from the small penalty area, running all the way to the outside of the big penalty area.

Modric took a run-up and sent the ball towards the center.

Seeing this, Henderson rushed back to the penalty area.

Ballack leapt for the header but lost his balance and fell backward, stumbling Locke Cana as well, and the ball flew past both of them towards the far post.

Paul Da Silva seized the opportunity and firmly headed the ball out of the penalty area.

The players from both teams followed the ball with their eyes, and their feet moved outward as well.

Huang Kaiwen lifted his foot to stop the ball.

"Tackle him!!!"

Sunderland’s manager Steve Bruce screamed harshly from the sidelines.

However, Huang Kaiwen did not shoot directly as Bruce had imagined, nor did he even make a move.

He waited until Henderson rushed back, with players from both teams reaching the edge of the penalty area, before lightly tapping the ball forward with his right foot, suddenly exploding forward with his right foot on the ball, his entire body leaning forward.

The Sunderland players coming up to defend surrounded Huang Kaiwen from three directions: front, left, and right.
