"Oh my God!!!"
"You fucking scored five goals with five shots, is there really some secret to shooting?"
"The coach was right, just pass the ball to the best damn player, and even those injured jerks in the youth team aren’t as insanely efficient as you!"
Real Madrid players were kneeling next to Huang Kaiwen, screaming like maniacs.
"I want to kill you!!!"
Cassano shook Huang Kaiwen’s shoulders vigorously and shouted, "Damn it, for real! I never even dreamt of such a performance, you bastard really deserve to die."
Huang Kaiwen laughed and spread his hands.
It’s mainly because the opponents are weak.
With [Inzaghi]’s trait-enhanced acceleration speed, a basic startup to receive the ball is a breakaway, or just charging into the box and shooting directly.
[Inzaghi]’s first touch on the ball is also strong, similar to van Persie.
So every time he moves off the ball it’s either a breakaway or he receives the ball and shoots directly.
Zhang was chuckling as he said, "Huang Kaiwen’s efficiency today was too high."
"Yes, Huang Kaiwen’s positioning is so rational. Today he moved around near the edge of the box, completely dismantling Getafe. Getafe’s backline isn’t strong and needs the protection of two defensive midfielders."
"Right, even if they want to defend against Huang Kaiwen, they need to fall back, but as soon as they do, they let Real Madrid organize the play in the front court, and that won’t do."
"That’s key! Falling back is not an option, if six people pile up in the box and let Real Madrid organize in front of the box, then they’ll concede even more. But without the two defensive midfielders falling back, Getafe’s backline is no match for Huang Kaiwen. Actually, they can’t limit Real Madrid’s attackers either. Today Raul, Guti, and Cassano all passed the ball to Huang Kaiwen, as long as they hold the ball without being pressured, Real Madrid players will pass, and with Huang Kaiwen’s startup, Getafe’s defenders can’t keep up, plus his fierce shooting technique, so every time it’s an easy breakaway goal."
"Heh, it’s just the gap in strength, there’s nothing you can do about it. Getafe made it to the final, don’t the players want to win the championship? Of course they do! But what can they do if they can’t defend against Huang Kaiwen? Manchester United gave the answer in the previous UEFA Champions League final, tackle!"
"Yes, tackling is an important way to defend against Huang Kaiwen, but you also need the capability. Can Paredes be like Vidic? He can’t! Huang Kaiwen scores and stays around the box, not dribbling by himself, so why? Because he can’t be bothered to run. Against Manchester United, it’s tough; he attracts the opposition by dribbling to create opportunities for himself or teammates. But against Getafe, teammates can easily pass high-quality through balls, and any run lets him score, there’s no need to get the ball in the midfield and dribble past several people. Dribbling from outside the box doesn’t count for three points."
"Hey, looks like Capello is going to make a substitution?!"
Capello pushed Higuain to the sidelines.
He had only just taken off his jacket.
Barely getting the chance, Higuain stood by the fourth official, twisting his body, doing simple warm-ups.
Capello spoke earnestly, "Being able to substitute for Kevin is a recognition of you; even if you haven’t warmed up in time, you can still warm up on the field."
"I understand, coach."
Higuain nodded in agreement.
Just like Capello said, what does it matter if you haven’t warmed up in time to sub for Huang Kaiwen?
Before the transfer to Real Madrid, he had heard that Capello was very strict.
The young Higuain arrived in Madrid with dreams of the super club and fear of the coach. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
It took him one week to realize.
As long as you have a good relationship with the number ten, neither the coach nor the club will trouble you; teammates revolve around the number ten.
Even if the relationship isn’t too close, as long as there are no conflicts with the number ten, you can stand your ground in the Real Madrid locker room.
Number ten Kevin might sound like a ball hog, but based on Higuain’s observation.
Kevin never asked for special treatment; it was the coach and the club who arranged it proactively, and he’s also easy to get along with, even if you aren’t close he will smile and greet you.
Just needing to have no conflicts with a nice guy to fit into the locker room, could there be anything simpler?
Compared to his time at River Plate.
Higuain felt that surviving at Real Madrid was simpler than at River Plate, with all the messy factions in the River Plate locker room. Real Madrid just had the number ten clique. Settling into the Real Madrid dressing room was like playing on easy mode.
He didn’t understand what was up with that Dutch forward; such a good atmosphere in the locker room and yet no one in the team liked him.
...
"Kevin, they’re subbing you off."
Law pointed to the sideline.
Huang Kaiwen saw Higuain at the sidline and prepared to leave the field.
Though leaving the game so early felt like a waste of the [Immunity Card], constantly refusing the coach isn’t good.
With a five-goal lead today, Real Madrid should be able to keep the championship.
Huang Kaiwen started walking toward the sideline.
Meringue fans stood up one after another from their seats.
Almost instantly, over half of the Bernabeu fans stood up.
The rest were Getafe fans, and not even all of them, as some Getafe fans also stood up to applaud.
The Copa del Rey was held at Bernabeu, which didn’t necessarily mean it was Real Madrid’s home ground, Getafe had also received quite a few tickets.
Those fans who bought tickets must be regretting having come to watch this game.
Huang Kaiwen clapped towards the stands as he slowly walked towards the sideline, no one rushed him.
When Huang Kaiwen felt it was about time, he reached the sideline and gave a high-five to Higuain before patting his shoulder, the fans then sat back down.
"You scored too many goals, opponents might foul you, Kevin, so I had to substitute you off."
