Chapter 2283: Chapter 582: Portugal’s Witchcraft Counterattack

Huang Kaiwen was quite satisfied that the Dutch finally all rushed forward this time.

This was his minimum requirement.

You might not cooperate perfectly, but I’ll make up for it tactically.

But when a fight breaks out, right or wrong, everyone must jump in to help their teammates.

Zhang smiled and said, "Now I finally realize, no matter if he’s playing or coaching, Huang Kaiwen can truly unite the whole team. Once upon a time, Milan, Real Madrid, and Chelsea would all fight together as a group. Now looking at the Netherlands team, doesn’t it feel familiar?"

"That’s right, Van Bommel is still an AC Milan player. He’s very familiar with AC’s culture. But that foul was indeed very rough, even deserving of a red card; Ozil seems to be very badly injured."

"There’s another issue, Van Bommel has accumulated two yellow cards, and he will be suspended for the next match against Portugal. This is also a blow to the Netherlands team."

The referee finally managed to separate the players on both teams.

Only then did the world notice Huang Kaiwen’s substitution.

Van Persie replaced Williams, forward for a full-back!

What exactly is he planning to do?

Huang Kaiwen stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed.

Earlier, he wanted to replace Kuyt with Van Persie.

But he quickly remembered something, that Kuyt has played every position on the field except goalkeeper, and actually performed quite well as a full-back!

So since Williams can’t defend, nor does he mark well.

Let’s just have Kuyt play as a full-back, without weakening the team’s defense.

"Sorry, boss."

Van Bommel said as he walked to the sidelines.

He knew too what impact the suspension would have.

Nice thing to say is that he’s strong.

The not-so-nice is that the Netherlands simply can’t find a third versatile midfielder.

"No worries, you did well."

Huang Kaiwen smiled and waved it off.

"I know I shouldn’t have been so impulsive, but I just couldn’t hold back."

Van Bommel explained.

Huang Kaiwen looked at Van Bommel, amused yet helpless. This guy didn’t believe a word he said.

Huang Kaiwen could only say, "I don’t like that guy, you did great, don’t worry about your spot, after the one-match suspension, you’re still a starter for the team."

Van Bommel’s eyes widened.

Digesting Huang Kaiwen’s words.

He turned to look at Ozil, who was crying and being carried off the field on a stretcher, and finally, got it.

Damn, if we face Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League next season, might as well ruin that kid!

After all, his career is nearing its end, leaving a memorable finale might even get him a post in Milan like Maldini.

Van Bommel jogged back onto the field.

Germany started warming up Kroos.

No matter how much Löw didn’t want to use Kroos, at this moment, Germany didn’t have many players with organizational skills.

German fans couldn’t figure it out.

How does their coach keep changing players and ending up more constipated in attack?

The Dutch defense was very solid now.

It’s hard to understand why the Netherlands team came alive right after Kuyt was a stand-in full-back.

Van Bommel didn’t need to care about the flanks anymore.

Knowing he was suspended for the next game, Van Bommel gave it his all, holding nothing back on the field.

Whether on attack or defense, his presence was felt.

After several adjustments from Löw, the Netherlands team completely took over the midfield.

To be blunt, Van Bommel in the later stages of his career is at his peak.

After joining Milan, he played the best of his career, even more brilliant than during his captaincy at Bayern Munich.

This Van Bommel together with a midfield grinder like De Jong.

And a fully revived Ballon d’Or-level Sneijder.

Germany’s midfield felt enormous pressure.

The dynamics on both sides reversed; the Netherlands went from passive defense then counter-attack, to truly all-out attack and defense!

With both wings crippled, Germany couldn’t launch any decent attacks.

Lahm had no choice but to advance and assist, but this gave Robben an opportunity.

Once again, Van Bommel carried the ball and passed it to the right, where without Lahm, Robben was near unstoppable.

While the Germans’ attention was captured by Robben, Huntelaar and Van Persie quietly moved up the center and left wing.

"Defend, mark them!!!!"

Löw screamed in panic.

The two ghosts approaching the door from the center; if this pass goes through, they’re conceding a goal.

But his warning was too late.

Robben sent what looked like a ridiculously distant pass, flying over the German defender’s heads, landing on the left side of the big penalty area.

At this moment, a figure sprang up at the arc of the big penalty area, took a step in the air with the right foot, and swung the left foot directly.

The entire world watched this performer.

Robin van Persie!

Whoever stops the ball is a fool!

Van Persie made a wildly unconventional volley at the back of the ball, and even Neuer could only make a challenging save, having no real chance to stop it, the ball slammed into the top right corner of the goal.

A world-class goal!!!

The scoring van Persie ran to the corner flag and kicked the flagpole, then turned to sprint towards the bench. Dutch players rushed to the sideline one by one, engulfing Huang Kaiwen.

The stands erupted with thunderous cheers.

"Saint Kevin!!!"

"Saint Kevin!!!"

"Saint Kevin!!!"

Even if they didn’t get to play on the field, Dutch fans felt Huang Kaiwen’s charisma.

He was simply the greatest magician of the football world, turning this team that was besieged by the media into what it has become now.

If Huang Kaiwen wished, he wouldn’t be able to leave his hotel room before the next match.
