Chapter 1996: Hart: I’m Not Playing Anymore
This tactic ensures that Leidesma can’t touch the ball, but more importantly, it leaves space for himself to handle it.
Just reached the corner flag area.
Van Persie quickly turned and swung his right foot.
Zauri hurriedly turned sideways to block Van Persie’s pass.
But Van Persie’s footwork was truly impressive, even with his non-dominant foot, he delivered a perfect arc, sending the ball from the corner flag area on the right towards the top of the big penalty area arc.
Huang Kaiwen anticipated the drop point and immediately turned around.
Andre Dias, who was rushing to the ball, realized he was in trouble, but his judgment of the drop point was incorrect.
After one step, he immediately stopped and rushed towards Huang Kaiwen.
At this moment, Huang Kaiwen had already jumped with his left foot, shifting his body weight backwards, and his swinging right foot hit the ball directly.
Bang—
The ball was already in front of the goal, Bi Zari only reacted to make a save, but he could only watch the ball fly into the middle of the goal’s left side in mid-air.
Boom—
"Saint Kevin!"
"Saint Kevin!"
"Saint Kevin!"
The San Siro Stadium erupted with intense cheers.
There was only one sound in the whole Milan City.
The first official match of the new season, Huang Kaiwen achieved a hat trick.
For the Rossoneri, this was the most wonderful event.
"Kevin!!!!"
"Kevin!!!!"
"Kevin Goal!!!"
"Another scissors kick!"
"I previously criticized Van Persie’s skills, but I must apologize, his pass this time was excellent."
"Of course, the most important was Kevin’s finishing touch; in Kevin’s career, various overhead and scissors kicks have scored 20 to 30 goals, each astonishing. I think the most difficult challenge in Kevin Award selection is to choose the most exciting goal from so many impressive ones in a season!"
"Ever since Guardiola’s hospitalization, Milan has finally gotten back on track."
"Clemente is more competent than I imagined."
"I think Gagliani should consider promoting Clemente earlier."
If Lazio had been thinking of turning things around just now.
This goal completely killed the game.
Lazio players’ morale visibly dropped.
Fortunately, halftime was not far off, and shortly after the restart, the referee blew the whistle for halftime.
Clemente eagerly handed Huang Kaiwen a towel and water bottle, asking, "How’s it going today, Kevin?"
"Feels alright."
Huang Kaiwen replied.
"That’s good, I’ll substitute you later."
Clemente said, "Pep often takes you off the field before halftime, and I feel his approach lacks respect, so I’ll wait till halftime to make changes."
"Uh, alright, Coach."
Huang Kaiwen quickly walked into the tunnel.
This assistant coach’s ambition is truly remarkable.
With Guardiola injured for two months, he’s been insidiously targeting Guardiola here.
Unfortunately, Clemente lacks any notable career achievements and doesn’t possess much personal charisma.
His communication with players is also very poor.
Otherwise, he might actually succeed in rising to power.
Huang Kaiwen couldn’t say much about this matter.
After all, it was Guardiola himself who chose this assistant coach, someone he worked with at Barca.
If there really is an issue, it’s solely Guardiola’s responsibility.
Back in the locker room, Ramos began telling Huang Kaiwen his fairy tales.
"My first story is like this: a man suffers a shipwreck and drifts to a small island, after living there for a few days, he decides to leave."
Ramos began.
"A classic start."
Huang Kaiwen said.
Such opening lines are quite common.
Not sure how his buddy’s story will unfold further.
Ramos continued, "So he goes fishing, catches a lot of fish, ties a line to them, and when the seagulls come by, he tosses the fish out, allowing the seagulls to grab the fish bound with line and fly away, taking him off the island."
Before Huang Kaiwen could speak, Gattuso interjected, "I don’t like that story."
"Damn, it’s a fairy tale!"
Inzaghi originally aimed to mock Ramos, but he decided to first reprimand Gattuso.
"Then I also dislike it, I prefer exercise and leaving on a raft; having birds carry you across sounds fake." Gattuso stated.
"You’d also die using a raft, it’s fake too!"
Inzaghi replied, "Rafts aren’t useful on the ocean, even for a fisherman’s son!"
"It’s a fairy tale, damn it!"
Gattuso shouted, charging at Inzaghi.
The two began to playfully tussle in the locker room.
Clemente entered the locker room without saying much, only asking Kroos to go out and warm up.
The second half started, and he substituted Kroos for Huang Kaiwen.
Milan’s home match ended in a 5-2 victory over Lazio.
At the post-match conference, Clemente stated, "Forcing Kevin to play a position he dislikes is criminal, I hope Kevin can find joy on the pitch, playing happy football."
This declaration won him considerable support from Milan fans.
Just as the entire Milan team flew to Manchester.
"The Sun" website suddenly reported, "England’s national goalkeeper, Manchester City’s main goalkeeper Joe Hart, has been hospitalized due to a relapse of depression; follow-up reports to be continued."
