Chapter 2308 - 587: Ancelotti the Scheming Villain

Chapter 2308: Chapter 587: Ancelotti the Scheming Villain

The referee blew the whistle to signal the end of the 90-minute match.

The players from both teams headed back to the dressing room.

It’s more comfortable to change into dry jerseys on a rainy day.

The players were replenishing their energy, and Huang Kaiwen casually asked from the corner: "Dressing room chat, no one is allowed to spill the beans. If you could spend one night with any woman, and she’d be in her 20s, who would you choose?"

The players were taken aback.

They didn’t expect Huang Kaiwen to say something like this.

But they quickly got into a heated discussion.

"Hepburn!"

"Agani!"

"Monica Bellucci."

"Eva Green."

"My wife!"

van Persie’s answer was soon met with disdain from everyone, thinking he wasn’t being truthful.

Huang Kaiwen cast his vote for Vivien Leigh.

Today, the players were in high spirits, but after the equalizer, there was some tension, so Huang Kaiwen didn’t want to put pressure on them.

At this moment, he was a bit concerned about Tassotti, unable to come up with the usual interesting topics.

But in a gathering of men, discussing women is always right.

It’s just the right time for them to relax a bit.

Inzaghi said: "I think Yekaterina is better."

Huang Kaiwen curiously asked: "Aren’t you a loyal fan of Monica Bellucci?"

"My status has changed, Yekaterina is beneficial for my empire."

Inzaghi said seriously.

Huang Kaiwen laughed and patted Inzaghi on the shoulder.

You’re truly something.

Never forgetting your mission.

Now Huang Kaiwen was a bit worried about Inzaghi, wondering if this guy could really find a wife who would help his empire?

After the break.

The players returned to the field.

But both teams became more conservative.

The fans in the stadium were cheering energetically, but it still couldn’t change the dull atmosphere.

Huang Kaiwen noticed that Capello’s spirits were not too good, unsure if it was due to excessive pressure.

Even at his age, he could still fly around with wires in the sky, his body should be kept quite well.

"Current situation, the Netherlands have a slight midfield advantage, but when they push forward, the front can’t push hard, unable to break through England’s defense. Both teams are cautious of not pressing too far forward, so today’s attacks are a bit anticlimactic."

"No choice, England have experienced being behind before. The Netherlands, after conceding a goal and drawing, have also learned a lesson. In this situation, whoever makes a defensive mistake might be eliminated."

"As the first half ended, both sides were preparing to make substitutions, Huang Kaiwen called up all the players."

As the second half began, Huang Kaiwen stood on the sidelines, covering his mouth, saying: "What I say now is aimed at Tim Krul, but every one of you should put on a serious expression so the English won’t notice my tactical intentions."

The Dutch players looked towards Huang Kaiwen during their warm-up.

"When it comes to penalty kicks, Tim, you’ll go on the field. Let me tell you about some of the English players’ penalty habits, Terry and Ashley Cole both like to shoot to the right, Gerrard won’t specifically aim left, but if he does, he’ll have a special motion you can observe..."

Huang Kaiwen spoke while covering his mouth.

Krul widened his eyes.

He didn’t expect Huang Kaiwen to directly tell him such things.

Huang Kaiwen’s penalty-saving skills are respected by goalkeepers worldwide, Krul included.

But the more important the moment, the more muddled his mind becomes.

Even though it’s a simple few players and penalty habits, he couldn’t remember them.

Seeing Krul’s expression, Huang Kaiwen continued: "It’s okay, I’ll write it on your water bottle later, you can just check it each time."

"That would be great!"

Krul said, somewhat excitedly.

Huang Kaiwen immediately gave him a stern look.

Krul quickly restrained his expression.

Krul’s fame for saving penalties would wait for the World Cup two years later.

Huang Kaiwen was hesitant about whether to change the goalkeeper, as Krul hadn’t played much in the European Cup, and changing the goalkeeper for penalty kicks might backfire.

Post-match, he would have to take full responsibility.

But remembering the Europa League final when Suo Hai didn’t change the keeper and left the non-penalty-saving De Gea on the field, Huang Kaiwen made up his mind.

If it goes to penalties today, a substitution must be made.

England were the first to use up two substitution spots.

Huang Kaiwen breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, even if Capello saw through his tactical intentions, it wouldn’t matter.

As each half of extra time, lasting 15 minutes, was about to end, Krul stood at the sidelines holding his water bottle.

Crazy!!!

The whole world was shocked.

Huang Kaiwen often called up all substitutes for a warm-up.

But they didn’t expect Huang Kaiwen was really planning to change the goalkeeper at the last minute.

"Haha, Huang Kaiwen is substituting the goalkeeper for penalty kicks now."

"It’s quite bold of Huang Kaiwen, changing a goalkeeper can indeed have a miracle effect, but it’s more likely that the keeper hasn’t found his rhythm yet."

"The referee blew the whistle to end extra time, meaning a fierce penalty shootout was about to begin. Both the Netherlands and England have often faltered in penalties, let’s see which team will laugh last this time."

The players from both teams returned to the sidelines.

Huang Kaiwen looked around and said: "Aryang first, Robin second, Wesley third, Mark fourth, Dek fifth, Caridi sixth, Nigel seventh..."

Caridi Boraru showed a grateful expression.
