Chapter 201: Son of the wind
Second half begins, the 21-year-old Brazilian decisively took on the team's attacking responsibility. In the forty-eighth minute, he received a through ball from Pirlo in the front court, turned, and accelerated towards the penalty area.
Behind him, Zanetti chased closely, but at this moment, Kaka was like the son of the wind, steadily overtaking the Argentinean. Zanetti tried everything to stop him but couldn't prevent his advance.
Soon, he diagonally dribbled the ball near the top of the penalty area. Caldoba sensed danger and rushed to defend, but Kaka suddenly shot low, and the ball rolled rapidly along the grass towards the bottom right corner of the goal.
Toldo hurriedly dived, but couldn't touch the ball. It hit the inside of the post and bounced into the net.
1-1! AC Milan equalized the score! Zanetti gasped, looking incredulously at the celebrating AC Milan players. That Serie A newcomer could run so fast and dribble so steadily?
At a defensive moment, he even felt like the one sprinting ahead was Wang Feng, a feeling he had only experienced in battles against Wang Feng!
Wang Feng, during his defensive return, witnessed Kaka's entire process from receiving the ball to scoring, and he was also very surprised. It was too graceful! With excellent dribbling technique and super-fast speed, he easily evaded the defense and timed his shot perfectly.
Kaka, amidst the crowd, always wore a warm smile. He embraced the seniors who came to congratulate him, feeling relieved that they could quickly equalize the score, which should gradually restore everyone's morale.
As expected, things developed as Kaka anticipated. The AC Milan players' mentality gradually returned to normal, and the new formation truly displayed its power.
When Inter Milan attacked, even Wang Feng found it difficult to break through the dense defense. But when AC Milan attacked, Pirlo and Gattuso frequently supplied bullets to the front line of Ruicosta and Kaka.
Especially Kaka, who was exceptionally active. He was not content with a draw. In the 57th and 66th minutes, he created threatening attacks through quick dribbling runs, but unfortunately, Ruicosta and Shevchenko didn't capitalize on the chances.
Under enormous threat, Mancini had to make substitutions. He replaced Vieri with Zanetti, trying to strengthen the midfield and defense, relying entirely on Wang Feng for the attack.
Before Zanetti could settle in, AC Milan struck again! Ruicosta initiated an attack from the left side, dribbling while waiting for his teammates' movements. Kaka lurked near the edge of the penalty area. Seeing the situation, Ruicosta suddenly sent a through ball, and Kaka instinctively started quickly, reaching the ball before the approaching defender, Chiwo.
The ball rolled into the penalty area, and Kaka chased it with all his might. At the edge of the small penalty area, he caught up with the ball. Seeing Civu's desperate attempt to tackle, Kaka was faster! Before Toldo's save and Civu's tackle, he had already taken a low-angle shot, and the ball crossed the entire goal, hitting the net inside.
"Goooooooooooooooooal!! Kaka!! A goal from Kaka's forward run, reversing the score for AC Milan!"
"It's fantastic! Kaka was in an unfavorable position when he received the ball, but with his clever touch, he turned the situation around with his speed, turning Chiwo from being ahead to behind."
"Then the pinpoint angle of the shot was also technically perfect. AC Milan has really struck gold. Kaka can be as essential to AC Milan's future as Wang Feng!"
After the shot, Kaka was tripped by Civu, but he quickly got up and sprinted along the sidelines. At this moment, he felt a sense of exhilaration. He wanted to shout out loud, "Serie A, here I come!"
AC Milan fans in the stands waved their banners and flags frantically, cheering for Kaka's brilliant performance. Especially some female fans, who unabashedly shouted some blush-inducing words.
They could finally hold their heads high! Ever since Wang Feng arrived at Inter Milan, his looks seemed to surpass those of AC Milan's players. Although Shevchenko, Inzaghi, and others were handsome, they were slightly inferior to Wang Feng.
Wang Feng, both handsome and skilled, didn't know how many Red and Black Legion female fans envied and admired him. But now the situation was different. They also had a handsome and skilled player, and that was Kaka!
A perfect goal! Wang Feng couldn't help but shake his head in admiration. Civu defended well, but he encountered an even more outstanding forward.
But soon, his eyes lit up with determination. If you can score, so can I!
In the 85th minute, Wang Feng received the ball on the right flank, facing Stamm. He cleverly feigned a move and prepared to cut inside towards the penalty area. At this moment, Cafu, who rushed to defend, directly brought down Wang Feng in desperation.
The referee's whistle blew. The refereeing in today's game was quite reasonable. Ignoring such blatant fouls would probably not be acceptable to football fans worldwide.
Inter Milan obtained a free kick in the right flank's 25-meter area!
When Wang Feng stood at the penalty spot, AC Milan felt as if facing a major threat. Everyone knew that this free kick was within his shooting range!
Kaka was also part of the defensive wall, watching as Maldini beside him solemnly instructed on positioning and timing for jumping. His heart couldn't help but tighten. At this moment, Wang Feng in the distance was like a caged beast, ready to devour them at any moment.
Whistle, run-up, shot!
The defensive wall quickly jumped, and Dida's heart soared. Would they block it? No! Damn it, the ball just cleared their heads and flew towards the goal!
Dida quickly judged the ball's trajectory but couldn't see it clearly. He could only rely on instinct to make a save. He stretched his body as much as possible; he would surely deflect the ball.
But just as he dove to save, the ball suddenly dropped in mid-air, as if gravity had suddenly increased its effect on the ball. This change surprised the Brazilian goalkeeper.
His body and hands had already moved, but the ball's trajectory suddenly changed. In the air, he had no way to remedy it, only watching helplessly as the ball passed by his side.
Without turning around, Dida knew that the ball must have fallen into the net by now.
With the cheers from the stands and the referee's whistle, Inter Milan equalized the score!
"Goooooooooooooooooooal!! The ball's in!! A perfect free kick goal!!"
"Even though everyone knew Wang Feng would use a free kick to score, they still couldn't do anything about it!"
Facing Wang Feng, Kaka saw his eyes the moment he kicked the ball, it was a sharp and passionate gaze! At that moment, it seemed like everything in the world had disappeared, leaving only the goal standing in front of him.
This gaze made Kaka shiver with excitement and fear, swirling in his mind. So, every time Wang Feng shoots, does he look at the goal with such a gaze? No wonder he has achieved so much glory!
2-2! A thrilling battle, and finally, both teams shook hands and settled for a draw.
