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

The 2005-06 season featured one particular criticism, accusing Rijkaard of being unfit to be a head coach, claiming that Barca dove too much. Before the game against Liverpool, he took the initiative in provoking Liverpool’s manager Benitez.

Abramovich and Keane were busy covering for Mourinho’s blunders.

In the 2006-07 season, Abramovich handpicked Sheva and Ballack to join Chelsea, much to Mourinho’s displeasure.

Mourinho was a very opinionated coach, and, unfortunately, Chelsea’s owner Abramovich was just as strong-willed. A conflict between the two was inevitable.

That summer, the covert battle between Mourinho and Abramovich continued.

However, when it came to signing Huang Kaiwen, the two were in complete agreement.

While on vacation, Mourinho gave an interview where he told reporters, ”Some people achieve success easily. The past three UEFA Champions League winners didn’t win because of the outstanding coaching skills. I don’t mean to target other coaches, but if you’ve seen Kevin’s performance in the Champions League, you would realize that you could replace those coaches with you or a random waiter standing in front of the coaches’ bench, and the result would not change. I’m very pleased to hear transfer rumors about Kevin, too bad he renewed his contract with Real Madrid. If he could transfer to Chelsea, we’d be a great match.”

Ferguson and Wenger, who attended the Premier League coaches’ forum, weren’t as confrontational as they were on the coaching bench.

Both were quite amicable in front of the cameras, with Wenger even cracking a joke by mentioning a pun on a certain signer, prompting Ferguson to pretend to hit someone with the microphone.

When talking about the best player of the past few years, both mentioned the same name.

Tokyo.

Kabukicho.

The renowned Huang Kaiwen, mentioned by several famous coaches, was touring the most famous destination for fleecing customers with Inzaghi, Kaka, Ramos, and Cassano.

Huang Kaiwen was visiting Kabukicho for the first time as well.

He had heard of it but never experienced it firsthand.

Initially, Huang Kaiwen thought Kabukicho was just a street with bars, but in reality, it was a large commercial complex.

The narrow streets were lined with bars, arcades, movie theaters, and dance halls for entertainment, as well as izakayas and hotels, with attractive young women and men standing outside the stores to attract customers.

”Kevin, do you mean to say that Tokyo isn’t in China?”

Cassano asked in astonishment.

”Ah, no, it isn’t.”

Huang Kaiwen shook his head.

He had answered this kind of basic question countless times.

”But it sounds a lot like a city in China, and they don’t look much different from you.”

Cassano said.

”Nonsense, Kevin is completely different from them!”

Ramos retorted forcefully.

”Idiot, do you want the media to catch you saying that so loudly?”

Cassano whispered.

Ramos immediately shut up, subconsciously pulling his hat down lower.

The stars on this outing all wore baseball caps as simple disguises, otherwise, they would attract too much attention.

”Kevin, is it really okay for us to come to a place like this?”

Kaka asked quietly.

”It’s nothing. We’re just looking for a place to drink, not what you’re thinking,”

Huang Kaiwen said with a laugh.

He had first learned about Kabukicho from Zhou Chixing’s novel ”Sleepless City.”

At that time, Huang Kaiwen thought it was a novel written by Stephen Chow, only later did he find out that Zhou Chixing was a Liben author who idolized the actor, taking his idol’s name in reverse as his pen name.

”But, Beatrice and the others are still at the hotel.”

Kaka said.

He felt uneasy about leaving his girlfriend in the hotel while he enjoyed himself elsewhere.

”Ricardo, my poor Ricardo,”

Inzaghi said, draping an arm around Kaka’s neck, ”Look at Kevin; he left two girlfriends back at the hotel but isn’t worried at all. What are you worried about?”

”It’s not that I’m worried, just...”

”Then there’s nothing to talk about. You’re not going to do anything wrong; we came here to better understand the local culture. Kevin said it’s just normal leisure and entertainment. Are you thinking something else?” Inzaghi cut off Kaka’s words.

”I’m not!”

Kaka defended, ”But the situation on the street here seems a bit unusual.”

”Don’t worry about it.”

Huang Kaiwen said, ”The places for drinking are different from those providing massages.”

The hostesses in Kabukicho generally do not offer additional services.

That kind of rumor getting out would cause their other admirers to immediately find a new target.

The allure for the customers is the act of charm without selling oneself, otherwise, they would just go to Yoshiwara for that.

”So if this place isn’t China, why can you communicate with them?”

Cassano asked.

He had observed how easily Huang Kaiwen had brushed off the hostesses.

”Ah, like Filippo said, I wanted to understand Japanese culture in the past, so I learned some simple Japanese from a teacher,”

Huang Kaiwen explained.

Some subtitled movies were carelessly done.

Making some dialogues sound awkward.

Eager to understand the plot, Huang Kaiwen decided to learn Japanese on his own.

Despite knowing only a little, it was quite helpful for understanding the storyline.

So it’s said that interest is the best teacher.

”Is that so? Then where shall we go? Since you understand the culture here, take us to a good place.”

Cassano asked excitedly.

Had Huang Kaiwen not held him back, he would have already gone in.

”Let’s look around first, and later you guys can pick whichever place you like, then we’ll go there,”

Huang Kaiwen suggested.

Cassano was bound to be disappointed today.

Huang Kaiwen just wanted to experience the legendary hostesses who could make a customer spend a fortune just by chat.

The hostesses would merely accompany you for a drink, and they might not even drink themselves, just have you buy drinks—forget about any other expectations.
