After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!
Chapter 2072 - 538: Flying Dagger Returns
This time Torres and the others didn’t rush forward.
Messi ran to Huang Kaiwen’s side.
Huang Kaiwen and Rakitic both hugged Messi together.
Huang Kaiwen said: "Lift your head."
"Yes, lift your head!"
Zambrotta nodded and said.
"But..."
Messi hesitated.
Huang Kaiwen’s arm slightly exerted force, lifting Messi’s chin with his forearm.
Messi gazed at the stands of Camp Nou.
The fans who once supported him were now angrily cursing.
This made him feel a bit sad.
Messi didn’t want to see this scene, but the two people on his left and right refused to let him go.
"You know, your departure from Barca left more than 200 million Euros."
Zambrotta shouted: "You won championships for Barca, scored many goals, and also left a huge sum of money, you owe them nothing."
"Yes, Leon."
Huang Kaiwen hugged Messi’s head and said: "Without Barca’s help, there wouldn’t be the you of today, that’s a fact, but you’ve also given Barca enough in return, that’s equally true. Even if you don’t want to celebrate at Camp Nou, you don’t need to feel guilty for leaving them."
"I understand!"
Messi nodded and said.
He still hadn’t overcome the hurdle in his heart.
But he really didn’t want Huang Kaiwen, Rakitic, and other teammates to worry.
On the bench, Ibrahimovic said with a pout: "This guy is really troublesome."
"How is he at playing?"
Inzaghi asked.
After two seconds of silence, Ibrahimovic said: "He’s a troublesome good player."
In football, who’s stronger isn’t decided by words.
Especially when two people are on the same team, regular training reveals a lot.
Messi’s skills in close-quarter dribbling are now top-notch in football.
Milan’s attacking players have no choice but to acknowledge this.
Even Hazard, who previously thought highly of himself, changed as soon as Messi transferred to Milan.
Even if the club didn’t alert those selling hamburgers, he wouldn’t touch them now.
...
Enrico silently watched the field.
It’s not that he didn’t want to say anything.
It’s just he didn’t know what to say.
The person got the ball, turned, and successfully got past three defenders.
What more could he say?
He’d already arranged for Keita to target Huang Kaiwen today, should he use Sanchez as a fullback as well?
"Get your damn spirits up!!!"
Puyol shouted, waving his sturdy forearm: "I’ve told you many times, don’t give him too much space, don’t overthink it, close in immediately with contact if needed, understand?"
Piqué shrugged and said: "I haven’t even moved before he’s rushed past."
"Then act faster!"
Puyol responded irritably: "Take too long and even your girlfriend will be snatched away."
Mascherano found it funny.
But he dared not laugh out loud.
After all, Piqué has a special status at Barca.
Though Piqué is young, his position is still higher than a foreign player like him.
Moreover, he wasn’t in his position just now, truly bearing some responsibility was possible.
Puyol found Busquets and whispered: "He’s been often using fouls, see if you can draw one from him."
Busquets:...
Damn, drawing fouls is a basketball term, isn’t it?
He understood Puyol’s meaning, wasn’t it just wanting him to perform against Huang Kaiwen?
But Busquets isn’t foolish; on the contrary, he’s smart.
A player who uses his brain to play football.
Hearing Puyol’s suggestion, he immediately feigned ignorance: "There will be opportunities, you know, it needs opportunity."
In any case, Busquets wasn’t planning to perform against Huang Kaiwen.
He even suspected if he offended Puyol recently.
Or why would Puyol want to set him up?
His family is well-settled, not wanting to be attacked by Molotov cocktails one day while sleeping.
Barca restarted the match.
Iniesta received the ball, and with a dribble, directly broke forward.
De Bruyne pressed up immediately to challenge; getting a starting position against Barca in the UEFA Champions League delighted him. Young Ding wasn’t yet daring to shout against Guardiola.
For this match, De Bruyne prepared a lot.
Recalling Iniesta’s characteristics, he didn’t dare stretch his foot directly when close.
Instead, Iniesta opted to pass back.
Seeing Ramos’ positioning, he couldn’t pass to Fabregas.
Xavi immediately distributed the ball rightward, finding rapidly advancing Alves.
Keita focused on marking Huang Kaiwen; he needed more contact with the opposite side of the team.
Alves’ dribbling and advancing speed was fast; during his dribble, he deliberately avoided Huang Kaiwen by moving centrally.
Kaka rushed up to press, Alves immediately returned the ball to Busquets, who returned in first touch, performing a wall pass with Alves.
The confrontation centered around midfield.
Both Barca and Milan were gradually pressing forward.
Torres chased the ball madly, making Barca players afraid to hold the ball for long.
They frequently positioned and passed near midfield.
Puyol moved up to take the ball, De Bruyne approached quickly.
His position was high today, guarded by Ramos behind, allowing De Bruyne to press further forward.
A few passes later, Piqué received the ball.
While observing, Piqué lifted his right foot and swung.
The ball crossed nearly half the pitch, landing forward on the right.
Sanchez and Zambrotta rushed almost simultaneously.
But in speed, Zambrotta was slightly slower.
Realizing he’d miss the drop point, Zambrotta decisively lowered his center for a sliding tackle; he couldn’t get the ball, and Sanchez shouldn’t either.
