After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!

69: 0067 Self-Disciplined Huang Kaiwen (Requesting Monthly and Recommendation Tickets)

“…Kevin’s importance to Milan is beyond words,”

“In the last match against Inter Milan, Kevin performed a hat trick, sent out 3 threatening passes, attempted to dribble past opponents 9 times and succeeded every time, and out of 42 passes, 41 were on point.”

“It can be said that Kevin single-handedly crushed Inter Milan.”

“But Kevin has a side you all don’t know about.”

The TV show host spoke with passionate fervour.

The scene switched to them filming Huang Kaiwen.

In the footage, Huang Kaiwen was seen carrying a stack of videotapes down the street.

The host exaggeratedly said, “After our inquiry, we found out that Kevin has borrowed many videotapes of past matches.

Even during his injury period, he improved himself by watching these videotapes.

A hardworking talent like Kevin, who keeps improving, is scarier than just a talent—I can understand why Inter Milan would fear Kevin.

They may not have the best eye for players, but as soon as Kevin arrived at Milan, they recognized his strength.”

Huang Kaiwen’s mouth twitched as he ate his cake.

He watched the match videos because he obviously wanted to understand past players.

After all, the “Expectation Value” card pool covers a wide range.

It sometimes gives you players from ancient times.

Becoming more familiar with them might help better utilize the one-off experience cards.

“Today we’ve invited Kevin’s girlfriend, Miss Barbara, to join us.

Let’s welcome Barbara with a warm round of applause and let her introduce us to Kevin’s life off the field.”

Dressed in haute couture, Barbara walked onto the set with a commanding presence and shook hands with the host.

“Hello, Adam.”

The Mediterranean male host couldn’t wait to bow to Barbara as he reached out to shake her hand.

Huang Kaiwen suspected he had some Yamato lineage, considering the bootlicking nature of his gesture.

“Hello, Miss Barbara.

Fans have always been curious, what is Kevin like in daily life?”

“He is very disciplined,” the young lady said with a smile.

“Could you be more specific?” the host asked.

After thinking for a moment, the young lady said, “When Kevin is at home, he never drinks alcohol, doesn’t eat any sweets, avoids fried food, and stays away from salt-heavy dishes.

His diet consists of boiled vegetables, poached chicken breasts, low-fat yogurt, and he selects fruits that are low in sugar.”

Huang Kaiwen looked down at the chocolate cake in his hand.

And the whiskey that was placed beside it.

“My goodness,” the host dramatically covered his face, “his life is like that of an ascetic monk!

If I had to eat like that every day, I’d rather be dead!”

“Yes, I feel the same.

I’ve tried his boiled chicken breast before and I simply couldn’t swallow it.” Barbara agreed, “I once asked Kevin how he’d like to reward himself when he wins a championship, and he said he’d like to have a meal of fried chicken.”

“My God, Kevin is too harsh on himself.

Does he have any recreational activities?”

The host continued to ask.

Barbara, with a look of tender affection, said, “Kevin loves football, and even when he comes home, he continues training.

Sometimes he swims to relieve muscle tension, and he spends every day watching match videos—he even bought the latest plasma TV just for that, with very high contrast, it’s high-tech.”

Huang Kaiwen turned to the PS2 placed next to the TV; if he remembered correctly, the reason for changing the TV was to play games with Kaka.

“Kevin takes notes while watching videos, jotting down the opponents’ playing styles; that’s how he dominates on the field.”

As Barbara spoke, she took out a notebook filled with Chinese characters to show.

Huang Kaiwen swore that wasn’t his handwriting.

Moreover, the note said: “Beside the sunken ship, a thousand sails pass by, before the sick tree, ten thousand trees Spring (Tang Dynasty, Liu Yuxi)”

Huang Kaiwen couldn’t help but cover his face.

Did the young lady buy a high school Chinese textbook in Chinatown?

On TV, the young lady continued to talk nonsense, “Kevin lives a very regular life, almost to the point of being obsessive-compulsive.

He wakes up at 5 a.m.

every day for practice, then showers and eats, and we go to the team together.

After returning home, he first goes to the cold room for body recovery, then after dinner he trains again, swims, and ends the day by watching match videos for a while before going to sleep.

And for three days before a match, he abstains from sex.”

Unable to watch anymore, Huang Kaiwen turned off the TV.

Dammit, with Milan’s biweekly matches, three days of abstinence before a game, what’s the difference between him and being in prison?

The young lady really couldn’t lie at all.

You might as well say I, Huang Kaiwen, train 25 hours a day and persevere through training despite having a fever of over 40 degrees Celsius.

I really should teach the young lady sometime that the highest realm of lying is to mix nine truths with one lie, making the persona relatable.

If you start off with such an outrageous persona for me, it’ll easily crumble later on.

Anne Hathaway is a cautionary tale.

People in Europe and America really hate liars.

Never mind.

If it’s found out that I’m not living up to this persona, I’ll just say it’s bad habits picked up from Inzaghi.

After all, Inzaghi’s reputation isn’t good to begin with.

…

April 30th.

Inzaghi was the first to leave the stands.

Moved by Inzaghi’s previous streaking celebration of love for the team, Ancelotti put him in the starting lineup.

Before the game started, Inzaghi provocatively sent a message taunting Huang Kaiwen and Kaka to watch him score.

Huang Kaiwen casually replied with a counter-question, “What if you don’t score?”

“Bet?”

Inzaghi responded with a sentence.

Inzaghi, forced to streak before, had been itching to regain his dignity.

“Whatever, how do you want to bet?”

“If I don’t score, I’ll give you 200,000.

If I score, each of you gives me 100,000.”

Huang Kaiwen passed the phone to Kaka.

Looking uncomfortable, Kaka said, “The Ten Commandments say that you must not covet your neighbor’s wife, servants, ox, donkey, or anything that belongs to them.

Luke also says: Be on your guard against all kinds of greed.”

“Don’t worry, God will forgive you if He knows you’re betting against Filippo,” Huang Kaiwen said, patting Kaka’s shoulder with solemnity.

“Alright then, tell him the bet is doubled,” Kaka said.

Huang Kaiwen: …

I have a feeling that Kaka has also been corrupted by Inzaghi.

Inzaghi agreed.

And in that match, Milan won away 2-1, with Shevchenko scoring twice.

The next day during their rest, Inzaghi glumly took two people to withdraw money from the bank.

The May system shop refreshed.

[Free Kick Expert] 1000 Destiny Points, [Rijkaard] 7000 points, [Van Basten] 8000 points, [24-Hour Injury Immunity Card] 20 points, [Maintenance Master] 100 points.

Huang Kaiwen once again secured the [Injury Immunity Card] for himself.

With the latest one, he now had three immunity cards.

Milan’s opponents in May were: Florence, the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final against Eindhoven, Juventus, Lecce, Palermo, the UEFA Champions League final, and Udinese.

Looking at it, it was just enough.

Two Champions League matches and the championship showdown with Juventus.

Huang Kaiwen also felt a bit melancholy.

He simply couldn’t get injured next.

After all, an injury might mean missing out on important matches.

So, after using the [Immunity Card] for a match, he couldn’t set foot on the pitch at all before the next important match.

I’ll have to put on an act for the coaching staff again.

On May 2nd, Huang Kaiwen flew to the Netherlands with the whole team.

Two days later, Milan and Eindhoven would have their second-leg showdown in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals at the Philips Stadion.
