After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!-Chapter 687 - 0264 Assaulting a city is inferior, assaulting a heart is superior (seeking subscriptions)

Herbert Vander’s words stirred quite a ripple.

Many footballers have been called artists of the green pitch, but they are not actually artists.

Now that a real artist has appeared on the field, it’s undoubtedly a hot topic.

On social media, many people are discussing this issue.

Most fans believe that Vander is telling the truth, firstly due to Vander’s own credibility. As a pianist and referee, his statements carry a certain authority. Being an official for the Union Cup and UEFA Champions League final already represents his level of football appreciation. Furthermore, the talents Huang Kaiwen has displayed across different domains convince most fans of Vander’s claim.

Some fans, however, feel this claim is too exaggerated.

Especially the fans who saw that match, when Huang Kaiwen was chatting with his teammates while standing still juggling the ball without moving; it could be seen as multitasking, somewhat overly inflated.

So, there are still some discussions on social media.

A netizen from Milan City pointed out that this is a maneuver by Real Madrid—wanting to help Huang Kaiwen, who barely played and was out for the season, to successfully defend his Ballon d’Or. Even with Huang Kaiwen’s performance in the 0405 season, missing half a season would significantly impact him. Although Huang Kaiwen performed well in last season’s Champions League final, it wasn’t as sensational as before, turning a team sport into an individual spectacle. So Real Madrid wants to exert effort in other aspects to influence the Ballon d’Or selection.

His view received strong support from some East Asian netizens, while many more disagreed.

Japanese and South Koreans once again sparked an online war of words.

Germans discovered something, and the British immediately began to buzz.

Sky TV immediately invited the British pianist Ian Pace to the show.

In the live broadcast, the juggling footage of Huang Kaiwen played a big part, but it wasn’t the complete version. Even if the match hadn’t started, the camera couldn’t focus only on one player.

However, Sky TV had the complete video as their live broadcasts use multiple camera angles.

While the video of Huang Kaiwen juggling played, Ian Pace reacted dramatically, hesitating several times, and only after the video finished did he exhale and say, "I can tell you very responsibly, Kevin really juggled ’Für Elise’ with his feet, which is astonishing. He hardly ever looked down at the ball and was constantly chatting with his teammates. If he wished, he could bring such talent to the piano field. I think he would become an excellent musician."

Georgia Thomson said with a smile, "Musicians earn a lot less than footballers. I know a Chinese pianist, and he doesn’t earn as much in a year as Kevin makes from one endorsement."

Georgia Thomson is a talented presenter, very careful with her words, and she never questions guests on the show.

"Art cannot be measured in money, art is priceless."

Ian Pace shook his head.

"Can you tell us why you have such a high opinion of Kevin?"

Georgia Thomson asked.

"I can’t prove my point, because Kevin hasn’t actually immersed himself in the music field."

Ian Pace said, "But this video alone has proven that Kevin is capable of multitasking. He needs to think while chatting, control the ball under his feet, and the rhythm of juggling matches that of a piano piece. I think he might have practiced it, but even practiced, it’s amazing.

The most important thing is, the talent Kevin has shown in different domains is astonishing. Many say ’The Ultimate Rich Youngster Filippo’ is just a storybook, but I don’t think so. Kevin has merely used exaggerated methods to write about things that might happen, combining them to create a perfect story. It may seem implausible, but when analyzed carefully, it’s totally possible. The creativity he has shown in that book is incredible.

I haven’t seen the painting ’Berlin Pub’ that sold for a million British Pounds, but from that price, I can tell it’s a work of art.

Such a creative person must have his own Chapters. His piano skills are sufficient, but he hasn’t truly unleashed his creativity and talent. If Kevin were to step away from football and the limelight, he would definitely become the next musician—no, a music maestro."

"Okay, thank you, Ian."

Georgia Thomson said with a smile, "Now the suspense of whether Kevin can play the piano with his feet has ended. He is currently the only true green pitch pianist. Now let’s link up with a reporter to see what the fans think."

On the big screen behind the two people, a reporter stood at the entrance to Emirates Stadium.

The match between Arsenal and Bolton would take place in the afternoon.

The reporter stopped an Arsenal fan and told him about the incident, asking for his opinion.

The young fan gaped, and after a while finally said, "Playing piano with his feet? That’s so cool! Kevin is indeed the most suitable player for Arsenal. We have the most artistic football in Europe. If he were to join Arsenal, we would become the best team in history, bar none!"

"Thank you."

After thanking the fan, the reporter stopped another one.

"Hello, are you an Arsenal or Bolton fan? I see you’re not wearing a jersey."

the reporter asked.

Looking around, the fan whispered, "I’m a Spurs fan. I bet with a friend that Arsenal would lose today, so I’m waiting here for him."
