After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!
Chapter 2074 - 538: Flying Daggers Once Again
"Yes, it’s a yellow card. The referee showed no mercy this time, it’s clear he has good control over the game today."
"This position is perfect, it’s Huang Kaiwen’s favorite spot. Piqué made a decisive foul this time, if he really let Huang Kaiwen take the ball and head solo, it would definitely result in a goal."
"Right, but the free kick is not easy to defend either."
Huang Kaiwen stands at the foul spot, stepping on the ball.
Watching Barca players form a defensive wall, he makes no extra movements.
His calm demeanor starkly contrasts with the Barca players’ panic.
Even Barca fans admit, this Huang Kaiwen is indeed striking.
Even though there are so many people near the penalty area, Huang Kaiwen is noticeable at a glance.
After roughly 40 seconds, the Barca players finally take their positions.
Piqué, Busquets, Keita, and Puyol line up in order.
Valdes stands at the goal line.
In front of him is the wall formed by his teammates, leaving Huang Kaiwen with few angles.
But even so, he doesn’t relax at all.
Huang Kaiwen has the ability to strike straight into the corner.
It’s just unknown which side’s corner.
Puyol’s side is a bit shorter, Valdes judges it should come from that side.
Beep—
The whistle blows, Huang Kaiwen takes a step forward with his left foot, then his right foot’s outer foot fiercely brushes against the side-rear of the ball.
Bang—
The force is quite strong; even he is lifted off for a moment to ease the force.
The reaction of the Barca wall is surprisingly consistent; except for Puyol, they all turn sideways, fearing Huang Kaiwen might fire straight between their legs.
But the ball glides past Puyol’s head.
Valdes, positioned slightly right, isn’t pleased for guessing the ball’s route.
Because he didn’t predict the ball’s destination!
Whoa, the curve of this ball is too exaggerated, after bypassing Puyol’s head, it spirals fiercely toward the left side of the goal, forcing Valdes, who was ready to dive for the right corner, to suddenly halt his force and dive sideways.
He has done his best, being able to fully spread out and dive quickly in such a situation, yet still couldn’t block Huang Kaiwen’s shot.
Valdes almost lands simultaneously with the ball; this exaggerated curve misses the left post by only 30 centimeters!
At this moment.
Barca’s goalkeeper wants to ask Newton what logic governs this ball.
"Huang Kaiwen!!!"
"A brace!"
"This goal is truly beautiful, I thought Huang Kaiwen would softly chip the corner, but close-range he hit a super curve, looking like a sharp turn, it’s normal for the goalkeeper to miss it."
"Yes, haha, it’s imaginable this goal will spark quite some discussion post-match, Huang Kaiwen’s force technique while kicking has always been a topic of study in football, but his kicking habits constantly change, so far no explanation has convinced many."
"Ah, in my memory Huang Kaiwen’s free kicks have three most bizarre ones, one was a long-distance direct left-foot free kick, resembling Carlos’ goal in the four-nation invitational, with similarly exaggerated curve, and another previous S-free kick, reportedly due to unstable air pressure, how to explain the curve of this one then?"
Through the playback.
Fans worldwide see clearly.
How exaggerated this ball’s curve is.
Like a sudden, forceful wheel turn past Puyol’s head, straight into an oversteering big turn.
Valdes reacting to this is quite remarkable.
This ball replaced by Buffon or Casillas, the result would be the same.
After scoring, Huang Kaiwen runs to the corner flag, performing a flying backflip.
This familiar and passionate celebration causes Barca fans to painfully shut their eyes.
Before the match, they booed incessantly.
They continue to boo until now.
Their throats are hoarse from yelling, yet it still doesn’t stop Huang Kaiwen from scoring.
No previous dazzling dribbles.
Yet the goal remains incredibly exciting.
After a blitz opening, again comes a physics-defying free kick.
Barca fans, constantly cursing Messi, now have a question in their minds.
If the owner of the No. 10 jersey had stayed at Barca, would the game’s outcome have been different?
