After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!-Chapter 725 - 0273 Undercarriage War God Higuain (Please Subscribe)
Subbed in for a few minutes and then taken off the pitch.
It was a unique experience for Huang Kaiwen as well.
The incident also caused quite a stir.
Beyond that, there was the protest from Atletico Madrid.
Their protests mainly focused on the penalty decision against Robben, even Ramos wasn’t targeted, Atletico Madrid’s firepower concentrated on attacking Robben.
Atletico Madrid’s coach Javier Aguirre angrily said on television, "Arjen Robben’s behavior is unacceptable, it’s hard to imagine that he’s a player who often gets injured; he looks more like someone who frequently causes injuries to others."
"But as we understand it, Mario Peña doesn’t seem to be injured,"
the host said.
Aguirre’s face stiffened, and he replied, "Not being injured is not the point, the issue is that such malicious fouls shouldn’t be allowed on the pitch."
Huang Kaiwen picked up the remote control and changed the channel.
He switched to the old movie "Notting Hill" that was playing.
Roberts in the TV wasn’t really that pretty, but maybe having a big mouth is also an advantage.
Huang Kaiwen’s attention wasn’t on the movie.
This matter was still not easy to resolve.
The foul by Robben was indeed a bit over the top, it wasn’t like Pepe’s suspension ended after just three matches before.
But how to say it, Robben was also a good brother of Yellow Ball King, shouldn’t let Robben be suspended for too long, right?
Huang Kaiwen took out his phone and called Calderon.
"Kevin, what’s up calling me so late? You should have just finished the game not long ago, right?"
Calderon asked excitedly from the other end of the phone.
"Yeah, Ramon, I wanted to talk about Arjen Robben,"
Huang Kaiwen said.
"What about Robben?"
Calderon asked.
"Atletico Madrid seems unwilling to let this go; they’re hoping for a lengthy ban for Robben, but that’s against Real Madrid’s interests,"
Huang Kaiwen said.
"I understand,"
Calderon said.
Although he didn’t think Robben was that important.
The players who have transferred to Real Madrid don’t have much value left on them; he would rather pay attention to the players from other teams.
The best players are those who haven’t transferred to Real Madrid.
They’ve now established a strategic cooperation with the newspapers, revealing transfer targets to "Marca" and "AS Newspaper," then hyping it up, so when they spend a high price later, the fans won’t question it.
If necessary, they could even claim that Chelsea and Milan giants are both interested in the player.
With so many powerhouses competing, spending a bit more money should be expected.
But now that Huang Kaiwen had mentioned it, he would have to deal with it.
Real Madrid’s strong financial situation and attractiveness are largely to do with Huang Kaiwen’s commercial and economic value blossoming alongside its historic status.
Even if Huang Kaiwen asked him to dance on a table in underwear, he would be willing.
Dignity can’t be eaten, after all.
After hanging up, Calderon immediately got busy.
He made one call after another, while also preparing to give Atletico Madrid some trouble, to keep them from focusing on Robben.
Huang Kaiwen tossed the phone aside.
He felt much more at ease.
Calderon had the ability and connections; being a successful lawyer and the president of Real Madrid was proof of his capabilities.
Calderon’s biggest problem was his greed.
Huang Kaiwen remembered the scandals when Calderon resigned, goddamn the kickbacks he took, he even needed Real Madrid to reimburse him for coffee. If it were someone else taking so many kickbacks, the club’s financials would definitely be pristine, aiming to stay in power longer to facilitate taking more kickbacks.
So, such behavior was really incomprehensible; Europeans can be very particular over small amounts of money at times.
The next morning.
Huang Kaiwen, unusually, woke up earlier and drove to the club by himself.
There were quite a few luxury cars at home, two of which were gifts from teammates.
But Huang Kaiwen still preferred Mercedes, a lingering effect of watching "Initial D."
No matter how fast other cars were, they could only be used for tofu delivery.
The 86 was only good for mountain roads, but a Mercedes could climb trees, a huge difference in performance.
Huang Kaiwen saw Capello driving an Audi and couldn’t help but shake his head with a smile.
Capello’s previous car was a Fiat, after several incidents in the parking lot he actually switched to a sponsor’s car.
Apart from Capello’s car, the ones who showed up early were probably Raul and Salgado.
Despite Salgado hardly getting any chances to play now, his training arrival time was always early.
After all, he was the son-in-law of former Real Madrid President Sans, also a die-hard Madrilenista.
Huang Kaiwen parked his car in his designated spot and walked into the training facility.
Today he arrived quite early, there was nobody on the training pitch.
He entered the locker room and, as expected, saw Raul and Salgado, and there was a surprise, Higuain had also arrived this early.
"Morning, guys,"
Huang Kaiwen greeted with a smile.
"It’s rare to see you come this early,"
Raul said, smiling as he changed his shoes.
"Don’t talk nonsense, as if I’m not diligent in training!"
Huang Kaiwen retorted with a smile.
"Don’t worry, nobody cares what time you arrive,"
Salgado commented.
Higuain, who had been watching for a while, said, "Actually, it’s normal for Kevin to be late. I’ve heard a story about Cantona. Sir Ferguson was very strict with the players, even disallowing them from dressing up too much, but one day Cantona was late and turned up in a white suit and leather shoes to run on the training pitch, and Sir Ferguson said to Gary Neville and others: Look, that’s style."
Raul nodded slightly.
Players with real talent always had privileges.
Stories like the one Higuain mentioned are common in any team.
