Chapter 2446 - 617: The Tragedy of the Bottle Opener
Matuidi shook his head with a smile and didn’t try persuading him again.Sirigu, after watching the scene for a while, just felt that Sakho seemed rather pitiful.
He’s been playing in Paris for a year now, yet his French still isn’t great.
But from Sakho’s expression and body language, he could understand what Sakho was saying.
Actually, everyone understood, except Sakho himself.
Feeling the strength of their opponents, they were already thinking about the next match.
Ancelotti just took over Paris.
During the summer, the team bought quite a number of players.
Now the team is still at the stage of simple cooperation plus individual ability.
In the Ligue 1, it’s easy for star players to play against those only worth a few million, but the other side is one of the most consistent teams in Europe.
Over the years, regardless of how they change coaches, Milan’s performance has remained stable.
They have maintained their pressing style.
The tactical understanding of the two teams is not on the same level. Sirigu feels that, even if the players were identical, Paris would still lose.
But he wouldn’t say stuff like that out loud.
After all, he wants to continue earning a high salary.
Playing for a year at Paris earns him more than he made during a contract term at Palermo.
[Lose 100 pounds] used to be.
"Today feels like there’s not much suspense."
"How can there be no suspense? It’s quite uncertain how many goals Paris will concede."
"Hahaha, this is killing me, I thought Paris bought Messi to beat Huang Kaiwen, this idiot."
"That was wishful thinking, given Paris’s defensive level, the difficulties they pose to Huang Kaiwen may not be more than a goalpost."
"Paris’s player purchases are puzzling. They want to compete with Manchester City for Ibrahimovic, yet they also want Cavani, but do they even look at their backline situation?"
"Even if they replaced it with Terry and Carvalho, the peak of Ferdinand and Vidic, couldn’t Huang Kaiwen still score freely?"
"At least it’d be interesting to watch those world-class defenders being played. Van der Wiel is such a nobody, Huang Kaiwen, this idiot, wouldn’t use him during the European Cup, preferring veterans instead."
"Van der Wiel has good potential but lacks intelligence. Ajax focused on developing him because of his physical qualities, but it turns out he only knows how to defend physically, all muscle above the neck."
"Don’t say Huang Kaiwen didn’t want to use him; if he had a choice, even Van Marwijk wouldn’t use him. In 2009, Van Marwijk summoned him, but Van der Wiel claimed he was injured and couldn’t join the national team."
"Isn’t that a normal occurrence?"
"Don’t rush, there’s more to the story. Later, the Dutch media exposed that he went to a concert instead of playing for the National Team. Some fans questioned the reliability of the media’s information, and at that time, Van der Wiel himself uploaded a picture with the singer."
"Hahahaha, this guy is truly something else."
That summer, Van der Wiel cried and fussed for a transfer.
Ajax could only sell him to Paris for a low price.
Otherwise, as Ajax’s captain, he was quite valuable.
Right after restarting, Hazard created a corner while carrying the ball on the right flank.
Hazard, having just stood up, eagerly shouted: "Kevin, you come, you come."
Huang Kaiwen shook his head with a smile.
Did you think this was a penalty kick?
Nevertheless, Huang Kaiwen headed toward the right corner flag.
Standing at the corner flag, Huang Kaiwen glanced at the positioning of his teammates and decided to execute a tactical corner kick.
The players in the box on both sides were ready.
With the whistle blowing, Huang Kaiwen’s left foot stepped forward and landed in a hole, causing his right foot to mishit.
He wanted to kick a ball along the sideline, but it didn’t roll far before going over the baseline.
The players on both sides were stunned.
This situation was even rarer than Huang Kaiwen scoring directly from a corner.
Huang Kaiwen waved his hand with a laugh.
"It’s not a corner!"
Hazard exclaimed.
Players in the box turned to look at Hazard.
"That ball just touched my foot before going out of bounds, Kevin probably saw it, so he deliberately kicked it out."
Hazard said.
Huang Kaiwen:...
Ramos nodded in sudden realization, saying: "I was wondering what was going on. Your honesty is very precious, you should keep it up next time."
He felt that Kevin couldn’t have kicked such an outrageous corner ball.
Van Bommel rolled his eyes.
Damn.
Didn’t expect the Belgian kid to pull stunts like this too.
This old guy is struggling to keep up with the times.
These youngsters are so unscrupulous in their quest for advancement.
Luckily, he is already at the end of his career.
If he had encountered these opponents in his younger days, Van Bommel feels he might never have progressed.
The sensation of changing clubs is very direct.
Before at Milan, and at Barca, Messi didn’t feel much of a difference.
But playing for Paris, he truly feels exhausted.
The midfield support isn’t strong enough, and the central pull isn’t adequate, with the opponent’s defensive focus always on him.
To make a play from receiving to goal, he also needs cooperation from teammates.
Now he sees that being the leader isn’t so easy.
Lavezzi passed the ball to the right flank, and Messi was immediately marked by Kuyt.
Messi quickly used his footwork to get past Kuyt, but Zambrotta came up giving Kuyt time to recover, the Dutchman sticking like glue, impossible to shake off.
Messi was forced to pass back to Matuidi, and himself darting toward the center.
He wanted to use more nimble movements to disrupt Milan’s defense.
Matuidi seamlessly passed the ball back to Messi, executing a wall pass.
Messi received the ball, adjusted with his left foot, and sent a through ball with his right.
Nene didn’t expect the pass to be aimed at him, and by the time he realized it, the ball was already at Ramos’s feet.
