Free Web NovelChapter 2087: Chapter 541: Courtois Toyed With
Just watched Ramos kick the ball in.
After scoring, Ramos didn’t rush towards Huang Kaiwen, but instead faced the direction of the penalty area, imitating Courtois by clapping, then raising his arms to roar.
"Ramos!!!"
"AC Milan is really on a roll now."
"Hehe, when Huang Kaiwen called them over just now, I had a feeling things weren’t simple, didn’t expect they really went for it, this free kick cooperation was brilliant."
"Yes, Messi and Kroos were clearly feigning, but it gives the impression that the next shot should be Huang Kaiwen."
"Exactly, even if it were me, I’d think Huang Kaiwen would be the one to shoot. We just saw, after Huang Kaiwen ran out, Courtois noticeably had a deflecting action, preparing to save but stopped suddenly, so he wasn’t ready when Ramos shot. Huang Kaiwen really played on inertia to deceive Courtois."
[Xu Hao], perhaps.
"Damn, I told you Huang Kaiwen was cunning, Courtois was duped again."
"Can’t help it, even Zhang said, no keeper would be unguarded against Huang Kaiwen, Courtois nearly saved it because he’s so quick to react, that’s the quality of a top keeper."
"This free kick was really interesting, where does Huang Kaiwen come up with such ideas?"
"Who knows, maybe he’s always thinking of ways to mess with people."
"Aren’t you curious about Ramos? He’s so strong at free kicks!"
"Bro, if you paid a bit of attention you’d know, Ramos has been practicing set pieces with Huang Kaiwen for several years, see how accurate his long passes are, no wonder his free kicks are great."
"Ramos’s penalties are also awesome, during Milan’s summer clash with other giants, his penalties were steadier than the forwards."
"Ramos hardly has any flaws aside from being too close with Huang Kaiwen, I think he’s better than Maicon."
"Speaking of Maicon, you’ve got to mention Chelsea’s Bale, he said he joined Chelsea mostly because of Huang Kaiwen."
"Huang Kaiwen really has some influence in football, athletes don’t care about character, they look at results, as long as you deliver, no one cares what you do."
"Whoa, what’s happening."
Not long after the restart.
Juventus was intercepted again.
This time they didn’t even get past the halfway line.
Huang Kaiwen took the ball on the left, immediately finding Messi on the right.
Messi dribbled past several players, reached the top arc, and was fouled again.
Guardiola looked at the field with amusement.
He had a feeling.
Huang Kaiwen seems happy to let Messi handle breakthroughs while he stays back passing.
But with tight defense on the left, switching to the right seems fine.
Huang Kaiwen jogged over.
Didn’t expect teammates watching him.
They’re having fun.
They want to try it again.
Originally Huang Kaiwen planned to score straightforwardly, but with everyone’s enthusiasm, he couldn’t let them down.
Huang Kaiwen signaled for them to come over.
A few gathered in a circle, Huang Kaiwen put his arms around their necks and said: "Sergio and Ivan stand to the left of the ball, Leon and Filippo stand to the right, Toni stand at the right back side, I’ll be at the left back side. Later Toni and I will stop halfway, Filippo make room, Leon go for the shot, OK?"
"Let’s do it!"
Inzaghi nodded in agreement.
Messi wanted to speak but didn’t.
He’s been practicing free kicks, perfect opportunity to try.
They started setting up.
Laughter echoed through San Siro.
Milan used four players for the last free kick, now they’re using six around the ball.
The world awaits AC Milan’s handling of this free kick.
The referee, amused, urged them to hurry.
Beep——
The whistle blew.
Kroos ran up seriously.
Huang Kaiwen’s movements were more realistic, raising his right foot but stopping suddenly.
On the left, Ramos mimicked a running move then braked.
Several players suddenly stopped toward the ball, shocking the opponents.
At that moment, Inzaghi cleared space, Messi swiftly pivoted, striking under the ball with his left foot.
The wall jumped immediately, but too late, the ball skimmed over their heads, Courtois couldn’t react in time again, watching helplessly as it soared into the right side of the net.
"Haha, another one!"
"Messi scored a free kick."
"Courtois threw his gloves to the ground, his confidence is shot."
"Of course, he taunted after saving one from Huang Kaiwen, but Milan fooled him with two consecutive free kicks, humiliating him. Even though this young keeper has great qualities, including mental strength, today’s situation is tough to handle."
"Huang Kaiwen, oh Huang Kaiwen, he didn’t shoot himself, but everyone knows his influence in set pieces. He’s using corner kick strategies for free kicks."
"Precisely, some asked why Huang Kaiwen only employs tactical corner kicks, not free kicks. Today he showcased his strategic free kicks. Both goals were beautiful, leaving the goalkeeper no chance, showing how well Huang Kaiwen manipulates opponents’ psychology."
