Chapter 2435: Simeone Is Not a Bad Guy

The players from both sides rushed to the foul spot again.

van Persie pushed Koke in the face, and Diego Costa, running back to midfield, wanted to stand up for his teammate, but was blocked by Van Bommel.

Atletico Madrid has committed too many fouls today.

They keep making little moves during the game.

Milan players are also getting a bit riled up.

"The match’s scale is somewhat out of control, and today’s referee is having troubles managing the game."

"Yes, Wenger is helpless on the sideline, but that’s how AC Milan is; they react very quickly in fights. You never know who might get suspended next."

"Fortunately, the referee’s handling this time was decent; he gave yellow cards to Koke and van Persie, warning players from both teams."

"Hazard quickly took it, and Ramos went forward for a long shot which hit the crossbar... Huang Kaiwen! Huang Kaiwen scores with a volley from the left, 4:1!"

"It’s only the 10th minute of the match, and AC Milan is already leading 4:1."

"Yes, it feels like the game hasn’t really been played much, with constant interruptions, but AC Milan has been very good at seizing set pieces, always catching Atletico Madrid off guard when they’re not focused on defense with a sneak attack."

"Hehe, the issue is here, AC Milan’s brawling experience is greater than that of most teams. When disputes arise, while the other side is still hot-headed, AC Milan players quickly get back into the game mode, scoring seemingly without effort. Atletico Madrid players are complaining to the referee, but the referee already agreed to a quick free kick, so there’s really nothing to argue about."

The professor on the sideline was equally stunned.

He never doubted the team’s offensive capability.

But the speed at which they got into form was surprising.

When players from both sides clash, it’s easy to impact the ensuing game state.

Atletico Madrid’s defense hasn’t yet returned to match form.

But AC Milan is so... He couldn’t even describe it.

The professor even suspected that Milan players might have staged the argument on purpose.

Quarreling with the opponent one moment, itching for a fight, and just as the referee managed to separate the players, with Atletico players still grumbling, Milan just glanced at the referee, took a quick free kick, moved up the lines, and scored.

It’s a completely split sensation.

The reaction of the Atletico players is the most normal.

The professor shook his head with a helpless smile, turning to the substitute bench.

Considering Torres was once Atletico’s captain, he decided not to field Torres.

The professor is very considerate about his players in this regard.

After thinking for a moment, he called out: "Gianluca, warm up!"

Zambrotta promptly removed his jacket and rushed to the sideline.

"Are we swapping Kuyt?"

Borde asked.

"No, swap Kevin!"

The professor replied.

Atletico’s actions were too excessive.

He was a bit worried about Huang Kaiwen getting injured.

"But didn’t you just say let Kevin play for a half, at least 60 minutes."

Borde said casually.

The professor rolled his eyes silently.

No wonder Arsenal was so happy when he wanted to take Borde.

He never realized this assistant coach speaks so vexingly.

Doesn’t he know what he said before?

But given the current scene, the professor is not entirely comfortable with Huang Kaiwen on the field.

Huang Kaiwen hadn’t participated in summer training, lacking a systematic preparation for the new season’s fitness, and after leading the Netherlands team to victory, he also joined the Olympics.

The physical and mental exhaustion was not minor.

At this point, the whole person is very fatigued; if he got injured, it could be quite serious.

Atletico restarted the game.

Diego Costa was itching for a fight.

He never was a well-behaved player.

But the ball in the backfield never reached his feet.

Koke started falling back, intending to initiate an attack with a long pass.

But van Persie’s aggressive pressure left Koke with no choice but to pass the ball back.

Gabi, under pressure again, passed back, with the ball reaching Juan Fran’s feet.

Fran instantly dribbled forward, and this player, who graduated from Real Madrid’s youth academy, immediately passed the ball to Gabi.

He didn’t want to dribble at all.

When he was in La Liga, he often witnessed the New Five Eagles’ violent scenes.

Though there were no New Five Eagles in Milan now, Ramos was no longer the same Ramos from back then, and he always felt Milan players were tougher than Real Madrid’s New Five Eagles.

Gabi dribbled the ball himself, trying to find Adrian Lopez.

But his actions were too obvious, and Van Bommel was always on guard for him.

In desperation, he turned around and made a long pass, trying to find Arda Turan.

Kroos went for a challenge, physically not having much of an advantage.

But he managed to influence the opponent’s dribbling speed, and at this moment, Kuyt stepped up with a tackle, successfully taking the ball from Turan’s feet.

A slightly awkward Kuyt got up and dribbled forward, already raising his head to find Huang Kaiwen’s position.

"Hehe, Kuyt really is a utility player. Ever since Huang Kaiwen had him play as a fullback in the European Cup, he has played multiple positions in this summer’s warm-up matches, and this is why AC Milan has the confidence not to buy new players."

Kuyt made a lob pass.

Huang Kaiwen pointed, running towards the flank of the penalty area.

De Bruyne hurried to the left to receive the ball.

Huang Kaiwen had already drawn away the defenders, making it easy for him to handle the ball.

Seeing De Bruyne dribbling towards the center, Gabi quickly stuck close.

Slam,

De Bruyne, while running, made a direct pass.

To Huang Kaiwen in the penalty area.

With Juan Fran behind Huang Kaiwen applying force with both hands, he was determined not to let Huang Kaiwen turn around.
