The two were neck and neck as they approached Inter Milan’s penalty area, with Maicon’s figure already disappearing from the camera.

All you could vaguely see was the corner of his jersey.

Damn it!

Huang Kaiwen had already caught up to the ball.

Without a second thought, Maicon went in for a sliding tackle.

If that tackle connected, it would have surely hit Huang Kaiwen’s ankle.

Maicon was already prepared for the worst.

He thought he could consider himself a tragic hero, having given his all for the team’s victory.

However.

He didn’t even touch the back of Huang Kaiwen’s heel.

Huang Kaiwen took the ball and cut in from the flank, dashing into Inter Milan’s penalty area.

This time, Lucio and Samuel reacted surprisingly in sync.

The Brazilian and Argentine defenders teamed up to block all angles, giving Huang Kaiwen no chance to handle the ball.

Huang Kaiwen, pressed to the baseline, didn’t hesitate and turned to kick the ball towards Lucio.

Instinctively, Lucio closed his legs, and the ball ricocheted off the outside of his calf onto Samuel’s leg before going out over the goal line.

"Damn, you scared me to death!"

Lucio patted his chest, complaining to Huang Kaiwen.

A kick from Maicon he could endure.

If Huang Kaiwen kicked, he might end up as Mata’s teammate.

Huang Kaiwen waved his hand with a smile.

He hadn’t even used any force.

Lucio’s reaction was an overreaction.

Even Huang Kaiwen hadn’t expected this.

This time, they almost let the ball fly past without getting a corner kick.

Ranieri stood on the sidelines, continuously shouting instructions, while Inter players quickly adjusted their positions.

Cesar’s positioning clearly showed he was worried about Huang Kaiwen going for a direct shot.

Just as he reached the corner flag, Huang Kaiwen suddenly stopped in his tracks and signaled to Ramos.

Ramos darted towards the corner flag.

This change left the Inter players momentarily stunned.

It was as if they’d punched a pillow.

Looking at Huang Kaiwen.

They were wary of both a direct corner shot and a tactical corner.

At the same time, they had to also prepare for aerial defense.

Every aspect was covered, ready according to Huang Kaiwen’s passing habits, strategically defending against Ramos and others.

They were fully charged, just waiting for Huang Kaiwen to make his move.

No one expected a switch!

Many fans at the San Siro Stadium burst into laughter.

They didn’t expect to see such a scene in the Milan Derby.

A few seconds later, the Inter players finally began preparing to defend again.

But they were clearly less enthusiastic than before.

"Heh heh, Huang Kaiwen, oh Huang Kaiwen, teasing the Inter players at such a crucial moment."

"Going all out initially, then getting weaker; Huang Kaiwen surely understands this concept, he might have intentionally taken a jab at Inter’s morale, making them relax."

"Who knows, but Huang Kaiwen’s switch in kick-taker did work... Ramos took it, Huang Kaiwen!!! Huang Kaiwen from the edge of the box, a worldie with the outside of his right boot, outside directly to the far corner. Huang Kaiwen, who hasn’t scored a crazy goal in a long time, finally delivered the most insane performance today as the first half was about to end."

"Yes, this corner was also created by Huang Kaiwen himself, his speed put a lot of pressure on the opponents, even Bolt wouldn’t feel at ease seeing Huang Kaiwen like this. That final worldie, so brilliant, an outside-the-foot curve ball, even more difficult than Zidane’s, hitting a more cunning spot!"

"Right, this should be called a super outside-the-foot fairy shot!"

Cheers rippled from behind the goal.

Then echoed throughout the stadium.

Messi, actively involved in the attack, stood inside the penalty area.

He had a clear view of the whole scoring process.

He was still in shock.

He wasn’t underestimating himself, he had quite the technical skill and quick reflexes, but if it were him taking that shot, it definitely wouldn’t go in.

Even that summer’s rivalry with van Persie, whose technique left a deep impression, he probably wouldn’t score a goal like this.

Those who have played soccer understand what it means to use the outside of the foot.

Because it’s not easy to master, that’s why Quaresma’s outside-foot shot is so renowned.

This outside-of-the-foot volley directly into the top corner, Messi even suspected there was a bit of luck involved.

He believed in Huang Kaiwen’s ability.

But this goal was just too damn outrageous!

Looking at the former National Team captain beside him, Messi instinctively asked, "Lucky?"

"It’d be luck for anyone else."

Zanetti shook his head and said, "But the one who scored is Kevin."

Messi was instantly taken aback.

Never would he have thought that as an opponent, Zanetti would trust Huang Kaiwen so much.

This made Messi feel somewhat guilty.

After all, he and Huang Kaiwen have been friends for many years, and yet he was the one thinking it was luck.

The referee blew the halftime whistle.

Huang Kaiwen waved to Messi, calling him to come back together.

Messi quickly jogged over.

"Take your chances to shoot when you have them, don’t always pass."

Huang Kaiwen said, "You don’t always have to look after me and the other teammates."

"Yeah."

Messi nodded.

Huang Kaiwen’s words made him feel even more embarrassed.

After a bit of self-reflection, Messi decided to trust Huang Kaiwen no matter what happened next time.

Guardiola handed Huang Kaiwen a towel and a water bottle.

Then pulled Messi aside and asked, "How are you feeling today?"

"Quite good, the teammates are all excellent."

Messi replied.

Guardiola patted Messi’s shoulder and said, "Keep playing well, after a few games together you’ll understand your teammates’ positions and habits, today you haven’t yet played to your full potential."
