After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!
Chapter 1911: It’s Coming Home
"How high is the sky? My ambition is higher than the sky, staying alive with an indomitable heart..."
Ramos strummed the guitar and sang.
Rock youth and BEYOND have great chemistry.
Even though he didn’t know Cantonese, he sang quite well.
The entire team’s spirits were high, especially the younger players.
De Bruyne, although not yet able to play with the first team, was also invited to the hotel to celebrate.
He returned too late.
If not for Milan’s squad not being fully registered, having been with Milan for 3 years, he could have come off the bench 10 times to earn a medal.
Medals aren’t just given to players easily.
If a player does not meet the appearance requirements for the season, they cannot receive a medal, though this rule doesn’t apply to goalkeepers.
Some teams have goalkeepers who almost never get injured, and they don’t want to relinquish their spot even in cup matches.
In such cases, never mind the third string, even the second string finds it hard to appear 10 times.
"How do you feel, Kevin?"
Huang Kaiwen sat down and asked with a smile.
"I don’t know, can’t describe it!"
De Bruyne replied with a shy smile.
Chatting privately with Huang Kaiwen was fine.
But with so many legendary players around, being called Kevin by Huang Kaiwen made De Bruyne feel like a name thief.
"Then let me ask, do you feel uncomfortable? Do you not like this atmosphere?"
Huang Kaiwen asked.
"Of course not, the atmosphere is great, better than I imagined."
De Bruyne quickly explained, "I used to think that when the first team celebrated, it would be like in the movies, sitting at a long table, with the manager toasting and everyone following suit."
"You’ve watched ’The Godfather’ too many times."
Huang Kaiwen said.
"Are you talking about Bayern Munich?"
Toni Kroos leaned in with a smile, "That’s exactly the atmosphere at Bayern, even after an exhausting away game, you still have to wear formal attire to a restaurant and listen to Hoeness and those old folks speak."
Huang Kaiwen glanced at Kroos.
He had heard that Kroos went to the mixed interview area.
Next, Guardiola would have a headache.
"Kevin, the fan organization has already booked quite a few buses."
Gagliani came over and said, "They’re planning to head to London at the end of the month."
"Communicate with them not to cause trouble, Italian football can’t take a hit."
Huang Kaiwen suddenly remembered and asked, "Are the buses taking a ferry?"
"It seems they’ll go to Genoa first, then to France, and finally through the English Channel tunnel."
Gagliani looked down at his notebook and said.
"That’s really troublesome, but still, communicate with them properly."
Huang Kaiwen said.
Driving to the UK isn’t easy indeed.
It’s no wonder the British could wreak havoc then.
No matter how much turmoil happened on the European continent, it didn’t affect them.
De Bruyne stuck out his tongue.
He didn’t expect that the club manager would need to report to Huang Kaiwen.
It seems the first team isn’t as simple as he thought.
By the time the celebration ended and they got home, it was already past three in the morning.
Huang Kaiwen tucked Lilly and the young lady into bed, then washed up and went to sleep.
The next morning.
Huang Kaiwen saw Lily lying on his chest.
Huang Kaiwen asked, "Did Barbara leave?"
"Yes, she’s going to France again today, I don’t know what’s so great about it."
Lily complained.
"Maybe the economy is better?"
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.
"Boring!"
Lily flicked her hair at Huang Kaiwen’s chin.
The Yellow Ball King could only oblige.
minutes later, after a bath, Huang Kaiwen covered the still-lying Lily with a quilt.
It was then that he remembered the championship win.
Upon opening the system, there was indeed a prompt.

Upgraded again?
But Huang Kaiwen was already used to it.
It’s time to see the gains this time.
Skill: Chain Defense Mastery — Deepens your understanding of chain defense, enhancing the speed of other defenders on your line when opposing players attack, improving positioning sense, and boosting defensive synergy.
Whoa, is the Yellow Ball King really destined to become a defense-focused coach?
Back in the 90s, Milan’s Maldini and Tassotti rarely assisted, with Costacurta engaging and Baresi covering from behind. When the opposition attacked down the flanks, all four became high points in the penalty area.
The most classic chain defense surely was Sacchi’s five defenders successfully freezing Romario and Bebeto.
However, after Baresi’s retirement, chain defense met its decline.
