After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!-Chapter 694 - 0265 Dominate the Four Seas (Subscribe Please)_4

In the corridor.

Capello said with a smile, "You’ve really outdone yourself, Kevin."

"It’s no big deal, can the reporter be trusted?"

Huang Kaiwen asked.

This whole affair was a script, and the reporter was someone Real Madrid had found.

"Don’t worry, he has no clue about the truth,"

Capello said.

"That’s good,"

Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.

It had been such a long time; if he was going to act, he might as well go the whole nine yards and give Rijkaard a good thrill.

Upon receiving the news, Rijkaard hurried home.

After watching the match recording over and over again, the Barcelona coach excitedly popped open the champagne, jumping and shouting, "I knew it, I knew it, damn that Capello trying to fool me!"

Since the 0405 season, Huang Kaiwen had been a weight on his chest.

Now he could finally avoid that number ten!

When a person is in danger, they can’t fake it all the time. When the reporter pounced, Huang Kaiwen took flight on one foot – a very real reaction.

Rijkaard was certain Huang Kaiwen couldn’t stand up, that helplessness in his eyes, the way he didn’t dare to put weight on one foot. Such a display was identical to that of someone injured, Rijkaard absolutely didn’t believe a player could act that well.

The excited Rijkaard sprayed two more bottles of champagne to temporarily calm his excitement.

This time in the El Clasico, he wasn’t just going to win, but win beautifully.

He had already thought of a way to deal with Real Madrid!

...

Huang Kaiwen and the entire Real Madrid team flew to Tennessee in America.

The Club World Cup was set to be played in Nashville.

Watching Raul push a wheelchair in front, Cassano muttered, "In this team, not even the coach gets to sit, Kevin’s really living the good life."

"If you want, I can help you with that,"

Guti said.

"Help me push my wheelchair?"

Cassano asked.

"No, to help you get injured enough to need a wheelchair!"

Guti said with a wicked grin.

That expression drew screeches from female fans nearby.

"Pssh, American women are so shallow, falling for a gay guy!"

Cassano commented with a sneer.

"You bastard!"

Guti cursed under his breath.

This was not a situation where he could afford to clown around with Cassano.

Capello would not indulge the two of them.

Back at the hotel and in the room, Huang Kaiwen got off the wheelchair.

Raul said with a smile, "Rijkaard’s really taken the bait this time; he surely won’t expect you to have already recovered."

"That’s provided you guys don’t mess up. If you really can’t win, I’ll still have to play,"

Huang Kaiwen said.

As the UEFA Champions League champions, Real Madrid only needed to start from the semi-finals of the Club World Cup.

Win or lose, they would play two matches.

Although he and Capello planned not to play until the El Clasico.

But if Real Madrid really couldn’t handle it, he wouldn’t be able to keep sitting on the bench.

He couldn’t just let the championship slip away just to trick Rijkaard, could he? That would be a joke.

"Don’t worry, we’ll try our best. Aryang and the others have been performing quite well lately,"

Raul said.

"That’s good to hear,"

Huang Kaiwen nodded.

"I won’t go out to eat later either. Since the club is taking care of your meal, I might as well order room service,"

"Suit yourself, just remember to order a bottle of juice for me,"

Huang Kaiwen said.

Today I feel like there’s no taste in my mouth, I want something sweet to drink.

I’ll have to dilute the juice with mineral water when it arrives.

The juice in America is generally very sweet, it’s too throat-burning without diluting it a bit.

Raul and Huang Kaiwen had a big meal together.

The dishes were plentiful.

The flavors were also quite acceptable.

In the evening he could only sulk in his room and play video games, fortunately, "Dragon Quest" was still quite fun.

Although it’s an old game port, it was still playable.

December 13th.

Raul scored, Real Madrid won 1-0 against Urawa Red Diamonds and advanced to the final.

Huang Kaiwen, helped to the bench by his teammates, sat there the entire game.

Some Liben fans who had specially flown to Nashville to watch the game were very disappointed.

In the next three days, at the Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Real Madrid would face Boca Juniors.

Huang Kaiwen’s old friend Riquelme had already transferred to Boca Juniors, but unfortunately, due to an injury, he didn’t travel to Nashville with Boca.

Otherwise, the Yellow Ball King might really have made an early comeback to meet his old friend.

The time in Nashville’s Western District is generally slower than mainstream European soccer countries.

Gerard sat in the visiting team’s locker room watching the game.

The first half ended 1-1, and in the second half, Leidesma helped Boca take the lead.

Even so, Huang Kaiwen did not take the field.

In the 55th minute, Pepe scored with a header to equalize, followed by substitute Cassano scoring.

Huang Kaiwen still hadn’t appeared on the field when Gerard attended the pre-match press conference.

At 8 p.m., the match between Barcelona and Valencia started, and his thoughts were still on that Club World Cup final.

In the 13th minute, Messi assisted Eto’o to give Barça the lead.

Gerard still showed no emotion. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

About 10 minutes later, assistant coach Albert Roca walked over to Gerard and said, "Frank, the Club World Cup is over."

"Did Kevin play?"

"No!"

Roca said.

"YES!"

Gerard shouted with his arms raised.

Just then, on the field, Messi assisted Eto’o once again.

Barça dominated the game, winning 3-0 over the bats, with Messi, who provided two assists, injuring his left knee.

At the post-match press conference.

A journalist asked, "Will Messi’s absence affect the upcoming El Clásico?"

"Messi is a very good player, his absence will affect us. But football is not a sport that cannot proceed without one player; if the absence of one player affects a team’s performance, it means there’s something wrong with that player or the team,"

Gerard said.

"Are you suggesting there is something wrong with Kevin?"

"I didn’t say that; I am just pointing out that football is a team sport,"

Gerard said.

Anyway, Gerard wouldn’t care less; Huang Kaiwen wouldn’t go easy on him just because he said nice things, so why bother?

Now it looked highly unlikely that Huang Kaiwen would heal in time for a comeback, so why not enjoy a bit of verbal indulgence?

"The El Clásico is coming up. How do you evaluate Capello? He coached you before, and now there seems to be some tension between you."

The journalist asked.

Gerard said with a smile, "Fabio is great; I really like him. He’s a talented coach with excellent tactics; I’ve learned a lot from him. There’s merely a little misunderstanding between us; after the match, I’ll invite him for a drink."

"Could you comment on Real Madrid’s current lineup?"

"Fabio has brought out all the talent in the players; look at Cassano, he was almost given up on but found new life after Fabio took over. Look at Robben, Sneijder, and that Chinese guy, and look at the performances of Gago and Higuain."

Boom—

The journalists didn’t expect Gerard to give such credit.

To think that right before El Clásico, he would drop such massive news!
