Chapter 1986 - 520: Van Xiongxin’s Tears
"Ahhhhhhh!"
Mark van Bommel excitedly pointed at Huang Kaiwen with a finger and roared as he ran toward Huang Kaiwen.
But he was still a step slower, letting Torres get there first.
Even so, it didn’t dampen van Bommel’s excitement.
At such moments, he always thanked himself for agreeing to a pay cut.
He never thought there would come a day when he would deliver the winning goal in such a match.
Having been with big clubs like Barca and Bayern, being just a step away from the Champions League Trophy several times, van Bommel’s thirst for being the European champion grew stronger and stronger.
Now, not only did he win the Champions League, but he also scored the decider in the UEFA Super Cup.
An excited van Bommel squeezed into the crowd and hugged Huang Kaiwen tightly.
"Goal!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Mark van Bommel!"
"Kevin pulled off the opposing press in the backfield, bypassing two players to bring the ball into the forward zone and organized an attack, coordinating with Torres to pass to van Bommel, enabling him to successfully score the winning goal."
"In this process, Kevin bypassed seven players and coordinated with his teammate once. He didn’t even need to pass the ball, but for teammates to have some involvement, Kevin chose to coordinate with Torres and assist van Bommel."
"Bypassing seven people isn’t Kevin’s limit; it’s just the limit of Porto’s defense. Even if Porto were allowed to play their substitutes and all levels of the youth team, the result of the match wouldn’t change one bit."
"The Sun newspaper says Kevin successfully stopped New Na Z, and I don’t doubt it at all. He simply saved the world on a whim during his soccer break, that’s all!"
There was a bit more than a minute left in injury time.
The referee quickly came up to urge the celebrating Milan Players.
Porto restarted the game, and Hulk rushed forward with the ball.
Huang Kaiwen seized the moment to slide tackle, successfully keeping the ball behind, and immediately flicked the ball out with his thigh without standing up.
Van Bommel passed back, and Ramos simply took the ball to his own corner flag.
Rodriguez pushed Ramos in frustration, and the main referee finally blew the whistle to signal the end of the match.
Beep,
Beep,
Beep—
The suited quartet in the stands rushed straight onto the pitch from the aisle.
Inzaghi somehow got hold of champagne and sprayed it wildly.
Most of Porto’s players saw the club as a springboard, so losing the championship didn’t make them too despondent.
After the Bosman ruling, the Portuguese and Dutch leagues gradually became star factories.
Porto, once a big club, only had periods where it had enough cohesion, and back then their manager was José Mourinho.
"Kevin!"
"Kevin!"
"Kevin!"
Huang Kaiwen smiled and applauded toward the stands.
Seeing De Bruyne standing alone on the sidelines, he walked over, pulled De Bruyne alongside him, and they went to the stands together.
The fans were very fervent.
Many fans in the lower stands even reached out to try to touch De Bruyne.
The fans’ enthusiasm made De Bruyne’s expression much livelier.
"How does it feel?"
Huang Kaiwen asked with a smile.
"Great! Fantastic!"
De Bruyne nodded and said, "I love the feeling of victory; I’ve always loved it!"
"Then go for it. Neither victory nor position will find you on their own; everything you want needs to be created with your own feet!"
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.
De Bruyne nodded again.
Huang Kaiwen smiled and shook his head.
He didn’t know if De Bruyne truly understood or was pretending.
But De Bruyne was just 20 years old at the time.
Despite many prodigies making their mark before 18, they are just the few exceptions.
Twenty is still very young for a player, especially in a league like Serie A.
After the entire team acknowledged the crowd with Huang Kaiwen,
it was finally time for the award ceremony.
Seeing the trophy there, van Persie’s eyes were fixated.
His mentor Wenger constantly implored, and fans revolted and called him a traitor; he gave so much, wasn’t it all for this moment?
A player’s career spans only over a decade, and he wanted to achieve more accolades.
When the Prince of Monaco hung the medal around his neck, van Persie felt it was all worth it!
"Every year at this time, I get excited because I can see your performance live."
Prince Albert of Monaco said with a smile, handing the trophy to Huang Kaiwen.
"Thank you, I also like Monaco because I always win here."
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile, carrying the trophy to find his teammates at the arch.
"Mark, Robin!"
Huang Kaiwen walked over and directly waved them over: "You two goal-scoring heroes, come over."
"Do you want us to stand next to you, Kevin?"
Van Bommel asked.
"You two should lift the cup together."
Huang Kaiwen said.
Van Persie’s eyes widened.
He never thought he’d have such an opportunity so soon after joining AC Milan.
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile, "I’ve lifted it many times; let you guys have it this time."
Hearing this, Van Bommel and van Persie didn’t decline further.
"3, 2, 1..."
As the crowd counted down, the two Dutchmen lifted the UEFA Super Cup together.
Van Persie’s handsome face beamed with joy.
Joy mixed with tears.
Scenes flashed before his eyes one after another.
From a young boy practicing hard, competing against numerous talents at Feyenoord, learning skills amongst the veterans at Arsenal, after all these years, it was finally the moment of harvest.
He felt that AC Milan might just be the final station of his professional career.
