After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!-Chapter 647 - 0254 Dutch Stickman Gathering! (Subscribe Please)_4

Especially since one Dutchman had just left, and two more were brought in — could they seriously be two more Van Nistelrooys?

Capello pushed his glasses up with his middle finger and said, "Once they arrive at Real Madrid, can you guarantee they’ll adhere to tactical discipline?"

"Of course, at Real Madrid nobody is above the coach."

Baldano added, "Except Kevin."

Capello didn’t take issue with Baldano’s comment and nodded, "If that’s the case, I have no objections. If they don’t listen, they’ll have to report to the reserve team."

"Don’t worry, we’ve already discussed this with the players and their agents, and they are willing to follow tactical discipline,"

Baldano said with a smile.

With two quick kickbacks in hand, he was in a very good mood.

"All right then, let’s go with them. Ramos has been loaned out, and we still need a new right-back, as Cissinho’s level isn’t enough to be a starter at Real Madrid,"

said Capello.

Baldano nodded, "We’ll handle this as quickly as possible."

At least for today, he thought Capello was quite decent.

He didn’t entangle with him over transfers and even took the initiative to suggest finding a player — wasn’t that another kickback?

Having roughly decided on the transfer strategy, the two of them returned to their rooms to sleep.

The transfer activity in European football was in full swing.

The Premier League at this time was beginning to shine — even last season’s 12th-ranked Middlesbrough managed to spend 17 million British Pounds to sign Yakubu, while Everton, which sold Yakubu, only spent 9 million under Lord Mo’s approval to sign three players, including former U21 international Baines for 5 million.

Manchester United finally managed to sign Hargreaves, while also bringing in another promising young midfielder Anderson, plus Nani for 21 million Euros; these three players cost a total of 71 million Euros.

Toni left Milan for Bayern, forming the TK combo with Klose, who joined Bayern from Werder Bremen.

Atletico Madrid, losing Torres, brought in veteran Fran, while Aguero was paired with a new strike partner.

Returning to Serie A, Juventus purchased Aquilani and Tiago Mendes and were still constantly looking for opportunities to strengthen.

Barça had sealed several transfers early on, only Real Madrid had yet to make a big move.

On August 3rd, Huang Kaiwen and his teammates played against Shenhua at Hongkou Stadium, marking the first opponent of Huang Kaiwen’s professional career. Drawing Malouda, Huang Kaiwen scored and assisted, helping Real Madrid to a 4:2 victory over Shenhua, ending their Asian tour.

Four friendly matches, signed more than a dozen endorsement deals, and received two breach of contract payments; the Yellow Ball King barely managed to garner some gains, earning tens of millions of Euros over the half-month.

Back in Madrid, Real Madrid players were given two days off.

The friendly matches weren’t intense, but frequent commercial activities and long flights left the players feeling very tired.

Capello originally only wanted to give Huang Kaiwen a holiday, but then decided to give the whole team a break.

Training resumes on August 6th.

Huang Kaiwen had already seen the schedule.

The first match of the new season for Real Madrid was the Madrid Derby, followed by the UEFA Super Cup against Sevilla, the champions of the cup; both opponents were tough.

Capello’s training sessions were extremely intense.

Players like Metzelder seemed a bit unaccustomed.

Huang Kaiwen was surprised to find that he could now fully cope with Capello’s training.

However, after two days of training, Capello had Huang Kaiwen reduce his training load.

Capello was worried that too much training might lead to an injury before Huang Kaiwen even played an official match.

The Yellow Ball King returned home every day still full of energy, much to Lily’s chagrin.

Fortunately, the young lady occasionally flew to Madrid, or else Lily really would have had to report to Milan early.

With persuasion from Huang Kaiwen and the young lady, she finally chose the New Academy of Fine Arts Milan; there weren’t any suitable schools in Madrid anyway, and since a flight from Milan to Madrid only took about two hours, meeting up wouldn’t take too much time.

In his spare time, Huang Kaiwen discovered that Cissinho had come to play in the District 100.

Cissinho brought people to join the guild [Milan Nursing Home] established with Kaka, and he was shouting every day in the guild channel to attack Shabak.

On August 12th, a new face finally appeared at the training ground.

Sneijder joined Real Madrid for a high price of 27 million Euros.

On his first day at Valdebebas, Sneijder was very low-key.

The statements made by Van Nistelrooy’s agent in the newspapers made Sneijder very anxious, fearing he might upset the "bullies" of Real Madrid at their first meeting.

After Capello introduced him, Sneijder cautiously approached his teammate.

Although Huang Kaiwen seemed friendly and approachable, Sneijder remained cautious.

His experience playing in the Netherlands had taught him that locker room infighting was often brutal.

The competition among Dutch players was fierce, and a single comment could easily offend someone.

"Hi, Wesley."

Huang Kaiwen said in English.

"Ah!"

Sneijder asked, flattered, "Kevin, are you talking to me?"

"Yes, welcome to Madrid."

Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.

Seeing Huang Kaiwen’s sunny smile, much of Sneijder’s caution melted away.

Training with Huang Kaiwen and having lunch with him, Sneijder was surprised to find that the Real Madrid locker room had a great atmosphere.

The Brazilian and Argentine players got along well at Real Madrid too.

Huang Kaiwen was not as domineering as Van Nistelrooy’s agent had described and was easy to get along with.

Sneijder was so preoccupied that he hardly remembered any training content, and just muddled through the day. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

In the evening, as he was preparing to leave, Huang Kaiwen stopped Sneijder and said, "Wesley, this is a welcome gift for you."

Huang Kaiwen handed over a long, rectangular box.

Sneijder opened the box on the spot and was momentarily stunned by the contents.

Huang Kaiwen asked with a mischievous smirk, "Don’t you like it?"

"Oh, I really like it, it can be used for self-defense!"

Sneijder quickly responded.

Fearing Huang Kaiwen wouldn’t believe him, he took out the stun gun and waved it around a few times.

Huang Kaiwen, trying not to laugh, left the locker room and had Guti drive him home.

Usually, the Yellow Ball King didn’t enjoy driving.

"You’ve scared the newcomer."

Guti said, turning around.

"Really, I didn’t do anything."

Huang Kaiwen replied.

"Then what was the meaning of giving him a stun gun?"

Guti asked, "I’ve never seen such a gift before."

"Oh, it was just fulfilling a wish of mine."

Huang Kaiwen said, laughing, "I heard the Netherlands national team often has internal conflicts, Wesley carrying a stun gun might help him defend himself."

Having seen the news about the Dutch "Three Musketeers" before, Huang Kaiwen found it quite amusing.

The fabricated news even made it to the newspapers, so Huang Kaiwen decided this time he’d validate the Three Musketeers rumor himself.

Better not to let the fans be disappointed.

Every Dutch teammate who came would receive a kind of stick.

Just in case they really start fighting in the national team, at least they wouldn’t be at a disadvantage, right?

A few days later, Robben joined Real Madrid.

After training, Robben also received an iron stick from Huang Kaiwen.

Robben stared at the beautifully packaged iron stick in his hands, bewildered.

The craftsmanship of the pair of iron sticks was very sophisticated, complete with slip-resistant gloves and straps to prevent them from slipping out of the hands.

A few days into it, having figured out the survival tricks in the Real Madrid locker room, Sneijder pointed out, "Kevin means well; perhaps he thinks Madrid isn’t safe, so he gave it to you for self-protection."

Robben nodded blankly and replied, "I understand, I’ll keep them in my car."
