After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!
Chapter 2069 - 537: Huang Kaiwen: Sorry, My Hearing Isn’t Good (Please Subscribe)_5
"So today, will we be marking Messi or Kevin, or both?"
A reporter asked.
You can tell from the question that he’s from a Catalonia newspaper.
Enrico thought for a moment and said, "We will do our best to stop the opponent from scoring, and we’ll try to score more goals ourselves. As for defense, we won’t give up on defending anyone."
Seeing Enrico not giving a direct answer, the reporters turned their attention to Guardiola.
"Pep, don’t you feel any guilt about poaching Messi?"
The reporter asked.
Guardiola’s expression didn’t change as he pulled the microphone closer and said, "I’ve explained many times, I didn’t have the authority to make the decision for a 200 million Euro transfer; it was a decision made by Milan’s upper management. If you ask me whether I want Messi, I can give a definite answer, Capello wants him too, Wenger wants him too. Every coach wants Messi."
"Why didn’t Messi attend the press conference? Is he afraid to face us?"
The reporter pressed on.
Guardiola shook his head and said, "A player’s main job is to play soccer, not attend press conferences. Wanting to get news from a player who doesn’t like facing the media is inherently wrong. If you like, I can bring Toni Kroos next time."
Huang Kaiwen almost couldn’t hold back his laughter.
Didn’t expect Guardiola to say that.
"Have you seen Maradona’s evaluation of Messi? Do you agree with what he said?"
A reporter asked.
Guardiola nodded with a smile and said, "I can’t evaluate Maradona, nor do I know his thoughts. But Messi indeed isn’t that type of player who likes to shout and yell, he helps the team consistently with his running and goals. You can’t say a player who works hard on goals and assists isn’t a leader, it’s just a different way of showing it."
"Yes, I think so too."
Huang Kaiwen said, "Leo doesn’t like expressing himself much; his feet are his way of expression. Everyone has a different personality; you can’t expect everyone to be a captain like Cantona or Maldini."
"Kevin, do you have anything to do with Messi’s transfer?"
The reporter asked directly.
Huang Kaiwen nodded and said, "Of course, I won’t deny it. I have seen ’World Sports News’ criticize Messi post-match. I also showed him some player evaluations from other teams’ post-matches. Clearly, ’World Sports News’ prefers to hold Messi accountable rather than Catalonia players. So why shouldn’t Messi leave?"
This statement rendered many Catalonia media speechless.
After all, they are quite aware of what they’ve done.
A reporter with a Manchester accent asked, "Kevin, Mr. Wenger has some doubts about AC Milan’s finances, do you think he’s right?"
"Sorry, I’m not Milan’s accountant."
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile, "I have a good relationship with Mr. Wenger, I also understand his character, but Milan’s way of making money is simpler than he knows. You can’t view Milan with the same lens as Arsenal because there are dozens or even a hundred top players in world football, and Milan has 20 of them. Each Milan player has a huge fan base, extremely high commercial value, and when everyone gathers together, the effect is better. I’m sure Mr. Wenger can understand this point."
Upon hearing Huang Kaiwen’s explanation.
Many realized that Milan now has a more splendid lineup than the Galacticos, with more stable results.
Because they’re a team, they’ve often overlooked AC Milan’s commercial value, seeing it through the eyes of a common powerhouse.
"So for today’s match, will you score many goals?"
A reporter asked.
"I don’t know, our opponent is Barcelona, not Milan’s U17 youth team. Asking like that is disrespectful to Barça."
Huang Kaiwen said.
Having not gotten the news they wanted.
The reporters then remembered Puyol.
"Carles, do you have confidence?"
A reporter asked.
Puyol’s expression was heavy, and he said, "The opponent is strong, and we’ve had less preparation time. This match will be tough, but the whole team is ready, and we’ll strive to play a game that satisfies the fans."
"In many matches, you specifically mark Kevin. Do you have any secret to marking Kevin?"
A reporter asked.
Puyol’s face looked even more sullen.
If he had any tricks, would he still be getting beaten every time?
Puyol’s tone changed, with slight irritation, "Yes, I’m especially good at marking Kevin!"
His mindset was affected.
If not for worrying about the consequences, he’d want to leave directly.
The reporter’s question seemed to mock him.
At this moment, Huang Kaiwen covered his ears and said into the microphone, "Can you say that again? My hearing isn’t good, I didn’t catch what you said."
Puyol turned to glare at Huang Kaiwen, his face so dark that it seemed like water could drip from it.
On the way back to the dressing room, Guardiola was still advising him to keep a low profile. If this continues, Puyol won’t let him off without kicking him twice, unless Puyol hadn’t eaten enough.
Huang Kaiwen agreed readily but didn’t care at all.
Puyol often gave him an elbow for no reason, while the Yellow Ball King never resorted to retaliatory fouls.
Giving Puyol a little something at the press conference seemed warranted.
Thinking this way, Huang Kaiwen even considered himself kind-hearted. Puyol always wanted to physically break him down, while he only engaged in some verbal retaliation.
As for things like fans targeting Puyol’s house, it had nothing to do with the Yellow Ball King.
The entire Milan team only got up when Huang Kaiwen and Guardiola returned.
Neither said anything.
Huang Kaiwen went straight to warm up with his teammates.
As he stepped out of the player’s tunnel, the Camp Nou erupted in overwhelming boos.
Immediately after, the boos at Camp Nou grew even louder.
Without looking back, Huang Kaiwen knew it was directed at Messi.
It’s estimated that Messi still felt guilty towards his old club, so he probably wouldn’t do anything to retaliate today.
But no matter what, this is Kevin’s tea spokesperson, the Yellow Ball King’s friend.
Looks like today, the Yellow Ball King will have to stand up for his brother again.
Seeing that the anticipation value has reached 100, Huang Kaiwen decides to draw a prize.
