Chapter 2433: Simeone Is Not a Bad Guy

Hazard’s dribbling ability is clearly not as outrageous as Huang Kaiwen’s.

After encountering a double-team, he immediately kicked the ball back to the backfield.

Kroos steadied the ball, waited for his teammates to move forward, and then passed it to De Bruyne.

De Bruyne crossed the halfway line with a direct pass.

Hazard received the ball, dodged Gabi’s slide tackle from behind, but was immediately knocked down by Suarez.

"Boo!"

"Boo!"

"Boo!"

The Stade Louis II resounded with deafening boos.

The match had only been underway for a few minutes, and Atletico Madrid kept committing fouls.

"The referee can’t give a card now. If Suarez gets carded again, it will be two yellows turning into a red."

"Yes, there’s really no way to give a card now. Atletico Madrid is getting a bit reckless."

"Oh dear, the match just started. If a player from Atletico Madrid gets sent off, it won’t look good."

Simeone acted as if it was his team being fouled, animatedly gesturing on the sideline.

The professor quickly rushed to the sideline to apply pressure as well.

He’s quite familiar with this routine.

Back when Arsenal players got fouled, he had to stand up for them.

The coaches of both teams were shouting on the sidelines.

They were both using Spanish.

The fourth official could only pretend not to hear.

"The fouling was impressive. This time you performed well, finally showing some courage like men!!!"

Simeone shouted from the sideline.

Courtois was internally cursing Simeone’s whole family.

Recalling that Simeone’s girlfriend wasn’t bad-looking, Courtois decided to find a chance to get to know her.

Damn!

Though he may talk tough, his head is not tough.

Previously, there were sponsors claiming their balls were reliable.

But recently, those in the sports product business have added small print in less conspicuous places in their ads saying — Kevin’s free kicks not included.

What does that mean, you don’t understand?

They claim the balls can withstand shots at speeds of 210 km/h, yet they can’t handle Huang Kaiwen’s free kicks.

And then you keep committing fouls in the front field, what’s the goalkeeper eating at your house, rice?

Courtois truly hoped Huang Kaiwen would leave the field soon.

He’s already in Spain, but he can’t escape Huang Kaiwen’s free kicks.

Unfortunately, Huang Kaiwen not only didn’t take it out himself but also persuaded his teammates.

After all, it’s the first European match of the new season. If he gets suspended right at the start, how will he play the group stage?

"Help!"

Huang Kaiwen called Van Bommel to help hold van Persie back.

Van Persie grumbled as he walked away.

In reality, with the professor coaching, he always felt a strong sense of crisis.

AC Milan is known to be under Huang Kaiwen’s leadership.

But Huang Kaiwen follows the coach’s words obediently.

So for the time being, Wenger basically had the final say.

If he were replaced by Fabregas, it would be a disaster, as Fabregas would definitely not have a good ending.

Van Persie felt that when he left, he was at least dignified.

Although the professor had good character, van Persie also couldn’t guarantee that the professor wasn’t angry when he left.

As kind as the professor is, he’s also just a human with emotions.

So van Persie was a bit unsure.

At this moment, he felt like proving himself to be of some use.

No matter how much Huang Kaiwen respects the coach, he couldn’t just watch as van Persie stood up for his teammates and got sidelined.

Unfortunately for van Persie, the Atletico Madrid players didn’t foul Huang Kaiwen.

Otherwise, not even his dad’s persuasion would have worked today.

Seeing the chaos resolve, Courtois was slightly disappointed.

"Quickly set up the wall, you bunch of idiots!"

Courtois shouted loudly.

"What the hell..."

Daniel Dias was a bit miffed, but Gabi held him back.

Now was not a good time for infighting.

As the wall players, they also felt the pressure.

Back when Carlos played in La Liga, no one wanted to be in the wall to block his shots.

Would anyone want to block a shot from Huang Kaiwen instead?

Darn it.

They all saw the Olympics.

Someone who can run under 9.6 seconds — is there really any need to talk about their explosiveness?

Miranda and Dias dawdled for ages.

The main referee had enough, using spray to encircle them in place and warning them with his index finger: "Step on the line and it’s a red card. I can tell your coach you went off on purpose."

No room for retreat was given.

The Atletico Madrid players could only stand in place.

After watching the show, Huang Kaiwen finally placed the ball at the foul spot.

This time, he aimed the valve towards himself.

He often finds it frustrating to burst balls.

Huang Kaiwen decided to win with skill.

Want to curl a magical goal? That’s for the outside foot.

Inside foot shots are usually stable but lack variety.

Kicking the valve allows for more ball path variations. Many learn this trick on the street courts, but without enough control, most kicks fly wide.

This isn’t a problem for Huang Kaiwen.

He stood at the rear left of the ball.

Waiting for the referee’s whistle to blow.

Beep—

Huang Kaiwen stepped forward with his left foot, swung his arm sideways, and his right foot’s outside flicked the ball from the lower left.

Bam—

The ball shot up rapidly, clearing Miranda’s head by more than a meter. By regular paths, this ball was heading for the stands.

But Courtois dared not be complacent.

He noticed the ball had almost no spin.

Damn.

Knuckleball!

Courtois hurriedly adjusted his stance, ready to dive to block the ball at the first moment.

If he wasn’t prepared and the ball slipped through the legs, he’d be laughed at forever.

But.

Next, he discovered the problem.

The ball suddenly changed direction, making a big curve towards the right side of the goal.

Courtois was extremely shocked, but still made every effort to thrust forward, attempting a side save.
