After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!-Chapter 514 - 0221 Cunning Capello (Subscription Request)_4

It was all because of the bonuses from his teammates’ contract renewals. Not a huge amount, but it pushed Huang Kaiwen’s [Fate Points] to 7920, effectively covering his expenses for the past three months on his teammates’ dime—not too shabby.

Special template: [Xiyangyang] 1,000,000 fate points.

Template: [Maradona] 10,000 points, [Zidane] 9000 points, [Ben Alfa] 4100 points,

Skill: [Spoon Penalty Master] 800 points, [Kayaking Mastery] 100 points.

Item: [24-Hour Injury Immunity Card] 20 points,

Special item: [Giggs and Terry’s Contact Book] 500 points.

Huang Kaiwen had watched Xiyangyang but couldn’t say much about its fighting power. As a comedic character, it’s incredibly hard to measure his strength. He just remembered that Greedy Wolf was an inventor and Feiyangyang always pushed Xiyangyang forward.

Next come the regular templates, all midfield players.

[Maradona] is one of the templates Huang Kaiwen considered redeeming. There’s no need to say anything about his skill—he’s a top-notch player.

After the season settlement, along with [High Priest] and changing his teammates’ fate, Huang Kaiwen figured he should be able to amass 10,000 points by the end of the season, so even [Zidane] wasn’t within his consideration.

[Zidane] was very strong.

[Zidane] is the most expensive among the new century players still playing football to appear in the system store, which is a recognition of his strength.

But [Zidane’s] speed wasn’t quick enough, not the type Huang Kaiwen preferred.

Huang Kaiwen liked templates with a bit more speed.

[Ben Alfa] is not worth it at all, talented sure, but lacking in many other areas.

For special items, it was Huang Kaiwen’s first time seeing two people listed together.

[Giggs and Terry’s Contact Book] just by hearing the name, Huang Kaiwen could guess who’d be in the contact book, and maybe there were some special effects, but as a pure love warrior, this thing was completely useless to Huang Kaiwen.

The system refresh still cost 120 points, this time securing [Kayaking Mastery] and the [Immunity Card].

Skill: Kayaking Mastery—slightly improves the rapport with teammates; proficient in all kayaking events.

Huang Kaiwen nodded, quite satisfied.

Last time [Sprinting Mastery] proved very effective. A slight speed increase on the field could be hugely beneficial when dribbling past opponents. Although increasing rapport with teammates isn’t as visible as increasing speed, it’s always better to have some improvement than none.

What he’s looking forward to most now is the next store refresh, where skills costing 100 [Fate Points] appear.

Even if it can’t boost his strength on the soccer field, learning new things doesn’t hurt—it immensely cuts down the time cost for him.

Upon waking up, Huang Kaiwen saw news of his return to training in the newspaper.

His participation in training couldn’t be concealed.

Real Madrid was already one of the most watched clubs in the world. Internal news often leaked out for public entertainment.

If he had returned to the team just before a game, it might not have been immediately disclosed, possibly taking the opposition by surprise.

But after returning to training for such a long time, there was no way to hide it.

Even the number of times he juggled the ball during training was detailed clearly in the newspaper.

After arriving at the team.

Capello was furious about it, but he didn’t have a solution.

He suspected everyone from certain players to staff members, and even thought the high-ups might not be tight-lipped. Capello suspected there was more than one mole in Real Madrid!

He wanted to catch the mole but had no idea where to start; if things got stirred up, he might end up being the one fired.

In comparison, Capello missed Moggi, who had full control at Juventus.

It’s not that Moggi was great, but having a strong and powerful leader in the club is vitally important. Capello had little faith in Calderon, no matter how much of a public figure he seemed.

Calderon was just lucky.

Capello felt that without Huang Kaiwen, Calderon wouldn’t last long before he was deposed.

April 3rd.

UEFA Champions League match day.

Lately, Europe’s football scene had its attention fixed on the UEFA Champions League.

Up next, the Champions League quarterfinals were set to begin their fierce battles.

Milan versus Chelsea, Manchester United versus Rome, Liverpool versus Eindhoven, Real Madrid versus Inter Milan.

The pairing changes were due to Milan snatching a championship from Inter Milan, causing changes in the Champions League groupings.

In the Bernabéu Stadium press room, Mancini and team captain Sannetti sat behind the desk with serious expressions, while Capello was much more relaxed.

Capello rarely smiled at the journalists, saying, "Whether Kevin will play or not, I don’t know; his condition hasn’t fully recovered to 100%. We’ll have to see his actual situation before the match. Of course, I hope he can play if he’s able."

Mancini inwardly cursed Capello for his shamelessness.

The reporters had already snapped photos of Huang Kaiwen training, and he was still hiding his cards close to his chest.

He really was keeping his starting lineup hidden until the very last minute.

A couple of years ago during the Milan Derby, Ancelotti was always pulling this stunt. Now Capello had learned from him.

With a sigh, Mancini told the reporters, "Real Madrid isn’t a simple opponent. I know it won’t be easy to win against them, but we will make our utmost effort. That’s the attitude of me and my players."

Sannetti added, "Kevin is one of the toughest players I’ve had to defend against. Facing him, no team can guarantee victory. But my teammates and I are ready to fight a tough battle for our fans and ourselves. We’ll give it our all and see the result after the match."

The press conference ended.

Capello smirked as he got up.

Did they really think he hadn’t seen the past Milan Derbies?

To him, Inter Milan was just a punching bag, nearly identical to the Juventus he managed. Against Inter Milan, he didn’t need his number ten to play the full 180 minutes over two legs.
