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

”Kevin is an incomparable genius, and the pressure is immense when I am on the field facing him. I can directly feel Kevin’s speed and skill, and it’s impossible to defend him alone. If one day Kevin wins the Ballon d’Or, I wouldn’t be surprised at all,”

Deisler, wiping sweat, said to a German reporter.

”Who has better techniques, you or Kevin?” the persistent German reporter asked.

”Kevin!”

Deisler replied without any hesitation.

After the match, he visited Milan’s changing room to swap shirts with Huang Kaiwen.

The two ”glass men” empathized with each other.

...

Beckenbauer, in an interview with ”Bild,” also expressed his admiration for Huang Kaiwen and Milan: ”Kevin’s desire to win is amazing, and at the same time he has excellent techniques and the speed of the wind. He reminds me of George Best, who was an outstanding winger, and so is Kevin. The current AC Milan should be the strongest team in Europe; they seem invincible.”

The next day.

Back in Milan.

Huang Kaiwen finally saw the report.

He never expected to receive such high praise.

Back in the day.

When he wasn’t gaming, he was just typing away.

His soccer skills were crap.

Now, when he dodges training to play games at home.

His soccer has been improving.

It seems that chopping ”Legends” can enhance football skills.

So Huang Kaiwen spent the day at home, playing ”Legend.”

In the evening, when Barbara came home, she pounced into Huang Kaiwen’s arms.

”What’s happened, so excited?” Huang Kaiwen held the young lady and asked.

”Darling, you’ve been nominated for the Ballon d’Or!”

The young lady produced the document from her handbag like she was presenting a treasure to Huang Kaiwen.

Huang Kawei took a look.

Wow.

Stars all around.

Henry, Kaka, Eto’o, Ibrahimovic, Ronaldinho, Gerrard, Lampard... Messi.

Besides Messi and himself.

Mostly well-known players.

Especially Messi.

Seems like he’s been on the top scorer’s list for many years since his first nomination.

Seeing Huang Kaiwen’s attention on Messi’s name.

”Ballon d’Or is not professional at all, that young player being nominated alongside you,” the young lady complained.

Huang Kaiwen:...

You might not know what level Messi is at.

Nor do you know my level, Huang Kaiwen.

Being nominated alongside Messi for the Ballon d’Or, Huang Kaiwen is quite happy.

But listening to what the young lady said.

Made it seem as if Messi was reaching up.

It’s true that love is blind.

Speaking of which, Huang Kaiwen was still regretting not managing to swap shirts with Messi and Iniesta this summer in Barcelona.

If not for his deep love for Milan, the football world’s landscape would have undergone a huge change.

This will be a must-mention in his memoirs.

For the young lady who blindly admires him.

Huang Kaiwen naturally encouraged her.

Holding the young lady, they sat down together on the sofa.

He shared some anecdotes about Munich.

Suddenly, she trembled.

Perhaps due to the hot weather in Italy, her trousers felt damp and sweaty.

...

September 20th.

Huang Kaiwen just arrived at the team.

And was immediately dragged by Giovanni Nanni to Milan’s laboratory.

For a full-body checkup.

Seeing Nanni excitedly keep his checkup report separate.

Huang Kaiwen felt like a lab rat.

He was uneasy inside.

He left as soon as the checkup was over.

Not wanting to stay a minute longer.

At the edge of the training ground.

Ancelotti, seeing Huang Kaiwen looking so spirited.

Waved cheerfully at him.

”You wanted to see me, coach?” Huang Kaiwen ran over and asked Ancelotti.

”How about starting you against Palermo in a few days?”

Ancelotti asked with a smile.

”Sure,”

Huang Kaiwen reluctantly nodded.

Having just returned to the team, it was hard to refuse to play.

But playing against Palermo wasn’t worth using the [Immunity Card].

He could only leave it to fate.

Hoping it would only be a minor injury, not missing the match against Juventus at the end of the month.

...

October 23rd.

San Siro Stadium.

Serie A’s 8th round, Milan versus Palermo.

This season, Palermo had been performing well, currently in the sixth position.

They were a tough opponent.

Inside the home changing room.

Huang Kaiwen changed into his uniform.

Hesitating for a while, he still didn’t use the [24-hour lucky potion].

Now he only has one bottle of [lucky potion] left.

It doesn’t spawn often.

Using it could reduce his chance of injury.

But using [lucky potion] to play feels kind of a waste.

It’s like that book ”Invincible Wild King” Huang Kaiwen wrote before.

The protagonist could foresee events five minutes into the future.

Then, he excitedly went to play as a jungler in LPL.

Damn!

Thinking about it now, it was particularly stupid.

No wonder he floundered at the time.

Better to save the potion for a summer trip to America and buy a lottery ticket.

Winning a few hundred million in the jackpot would be great.

He casually took a scratch card.

And scratched off 5000 Euros.

His luck wasn’t too bad.

Looking at his 100 [Expectation Value], Huang Kaiwen chose to draw a prize.

[Ding, you have obtained a 2011-2012 season League Cup fourth round, Manchester United VS Liverpool, Denis Welbeck single-match experience card]

Is that considered good luck?

Huang Kaiwen wasn’t sure.

Welbeck never had a shining moment at Manchester United.

He was even affectionately nicknamed by Manchester United fans as one of the ”Dark Four Heavenly Kings”.

The thought of Welbeck’s possession sounded like an insult.

Huang Kaiwen felt numb.

”What are you dawdling for, go warm up.” Inzaghi, who was back in the starting lineup, was very happy.

Hugging Huang Kaiwen as they walked, he instructed, ”If you get the chance, pass the ball to me, watch me squeeze Sheva onto the bench.”

”Yeah, as long as you can catch it.”

Huang Kaiwen said meaningfully.

”Are you looking down on me?” Inzaghi retorted.

Huang Kaiwen:...

We’re not talking about the same thing.

Huang Kaiwen couldn’t defend himself.

He could only nod his head and try to keep Inzaghi happy.

He just didn’t know if Inzaghi could catch a pass from [Welbeck].

Ancelotti handed Huang Kaiwen a cup of Holy Water.

It only added to Huang Kaiwen’s worries.

Taking advantage of Ancelotti’s inattention, he poured it into a corner of the locker room.

After the game, he must talk to Ancelotti.

Let’s not put those things in our mouths when there’s nothing wrong.

...

At 2 p.m., the main referee blew the whistle to start the game.

After Shevchenko kicked off and passed the ball back,

Johann Vogel, who had arrived at Milan in the summer, got the ball.

Seeing that no one was around Huang Kaiwen, he immediately passed the ball to the left wing.

After receiving the ball,

Huang Kaiwen sprinted down the left wing.

[Welbeck]’s speed was still okay.

But his ball sense was really average.

With so many skills and traits to boost his play, even dribbling the ball felt awkward for Huang Kaiwen.

He had been given many technical player experience cards.

Huang Kaiwen had zero interest in rough players.

Mariano Gonzalez was on high alert.

This Argentinian 2004 Olympic champion was proficient in both offense and defense.

But he didn’t dare to be careless against Huang Kaiwen.

Gonzalez lowered his center of gravity,

waiting for the moment Huang Kaiwen would try to change pace and dribble past him to make a tackle.

But Huang Kaiwen, carrying the ball forward,

knocked it with his left foot.

The ball hit Gonzalez and went behind him.

Then he sped up down the flank.

”Kevin!!!”

”He separated from the ball and broke through with speed.”

”Christian Zaccardo wanted to watch for Kevin’s cut inside, but Kevin went down to the baseline!”

”Cross!!!

Nearing the baseline,

Huang Kaiwen aimed for the outstretched, requesting Inzaghi at the left of the penalty area and made a cross.

Then,

the ball flew over the heads of Inzaghi and the opposing defender Barzagli, towards the top of the large penalty area.

Kaka suddenly burst from behind Barça’s defensive midfielder Eugenio Corini,

Ran behind the ball and swung his right foot.

Volleys!

Bam—

Kaka’s powerful long shot flew past Barzagli and headed straight for the upper right corner of the goal.

The diving Palermo goalkeeper, Santoni, could only watch helplessly.

”Goal!!!!”

”Kaka Goal!!!”

”Just 2 minutes into the opening, Kaka scored with a long shot that breached Palermo’s goal.”

”Kevin’s pass was very beautiful.”

”It was so sudden.”

”It was highly deceptive; he kept looking at Inzaghi but passed to Kaka instead.”

”Kaka really understood Kevin’s intention and rushed up for a long shot that sent the ball into the goal.”

”Maybe this is the telepathy between geniuses!”

Crudeli shouted excitedly.

”Why didn’t you pass to me?” Inzaghi grumbled as he ran up to Huang Kaiwen.

Huang Kaiwen thought to himself that he indeed intended to pass to him.

Who could have predicted that [Welbeck], without adjusting, would make such an outrageous pass?

Kaka was impressive, managing to score with such a ludicrous pass.

Approaching Huang Kaiwen, Kaka explained, ”There were defenders near you; you might not have had the chance, passing to me was just right.”

Huang Kaiwen nodded and said, ”Right, that’s what happened.”

”Okay, but promise to pass to me next time!”

”Sure, I’ll definitely pass to you.”

With a pained expression, Huang Kaiwen nodded in agreement to Inzaghi.
