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

Chapter 1617: Chapter 447: Gua: Beautiful Girl... No, Autobot, Transform

What the hell is this madness, flying all the way to America for a friendly match.

Do they really think the players have bodies made of iron.

Either go for a long-term training camp or don’t schedule it at all.

A friendly match with a Greek team isn’t worth the back-and-forth for Milan.

The professor took Fabregas back to the home dressing room, and only then did Guardiola say: ”Kevin, today you’ll substitute, I want to observe some other players.”

”I have no objections, coach, but can I sit on the bench?”

Huang Kaiwen asked.

Guardiola froze for a second, then smiled and said, ”Of course you can, you’re naturally part of the coaching staff.”

The two entered the visiting dressing room and saw Inzaghi being very energetic.

Guardiola smiled without saying a word; he didn’t have many demands in this regard.

Inzaghi was still sharing his financial experiences, saying, ”I recently bought a farm in Australia, and after buying it, I found out manpower isn’t cheap.”

”You make so much money, are you unwilling to pay the workers even a bit?”

Pirlo quipped.

”I earn a lot but I also spend a lot. If I don’t save a bit, I’ll surely go bankrupt. So I thought of a way...”

Inzaghi said mysteriously.

”What way?”

Buffon curiously asked.

”I posted online, saying if people like being educated, they can pay to come to the farm, where the beautiful farm owner will provide special discipline. Surprisingly, quite a few signed up.”

Inzaghi said proudly.

Huang Kaiwen:...

”You’re deceiving them.”

Gattuso said speechlessly.

”Yeah.”

Inzaghi sighed and said, ”I made them work in leather outfits, and after a week they realized there was nothing special apart from the work, so my advisor is helping me handle this.”

Guardiola opened his mouth wide.

He didn’t expect to hear such... a bizarre story.

He found that he couldn’t keep up with Inzaghi’s thinking and realized Milan’s situation seems more complicated than he thought.

Guardiola clapped his hands quickly and said, ”Alright, you should go warm up.”

Huang Kaiwen stood up and said, ”Let’s go, guys.”

”Okay, captain.”

Inzaghi teased, immediately getting a kick from Gattuso.

...

”Haha, this is the most anticipated warm-up match of the summer, Huang Kaiwen has returned to London, and we can see quite a few Chelsea jerseys in the stands, making it feel like watching a game at Stamford Bridge.”

”Yes, Huang Kaiwen’s return to Milan is the hottest topic, and from the feedback of Milan players and staff, they’re optimistic about his return. But Ancelotti is somewhat upset; he undoubtedly chose to coach Chelsea partially to reunite with Huang Kaiwen, but right after signing with Chelsea, Huang Kaiwen transferred.”

”The term ’transfer’ isn’t accurate, since Huang Kaiwen and Ramos paid their own penalty fees haha, reportedly UEFA is trying to solve this issue, or else wealthy teams like Manchester City and Chelsea could mimic AC Milan’s move to bypass the fair play regulations.”

From the warm-up phase onward.

Milan players felt as if they were still at San Siro Stadium.

Every time Huang Kaiwen touched the ball, it could trigger applause from the fans.

”Saint Kevin!”

”Saint Kevin!”

”Saint Kevin!”

After a brief warm-up, Huang Kaiwen walked towards the sidelines.

”Kevin, take a look at today’s starting lineup, see if anything needs adjusting.”

Guardiola, who called Huang Kaiwen over, asked.

”Coach, isn’t that your job?”

Huang Kaiwen replied.

”But you’re also part of the coaching staff.”

Guardiola blinked and said.

Huang Kaiwen:...

”Cough... It should be fine.”

Huang Kaiwen glanced over and said.

He indeed wanted to learn from Guardiola.

But starting with three defenders right off the bat, even the Yellow Ball King wasn’t sure deep down.

”Both teams’ players have returned to the tunnel, let’s take a look at the starting lineups.”

Arsenal’s 433 with double defensive midfielders:

Goalkeeper: Fabianski,

Defenders: Clichy, Zulu, Koscielny, Sagna,

Midfielders: Alex Song, Rosicky, Wilshere,

Forwards: Nasri, Chamakh, Walcott.

Milan’s 3133 with a single defensive midfielder:

Goalkeeper: Buffon,

Defenders: Papastathopoulos, Thiago Silva, Bonera,

Midfielders: Zambrotta, Toni Kroos, Pirlo, Ramos,

Forwards: Torres, Ibrahimovic, Kaka.

”Arsenal’s starting lineup gives opportunities to new signings and young players, including Koscielny appearing in the starting lineup, Wenger wants to assess his condition and let him blend with the new teammates.”

”Yes, Guardiola gave us a bigger surprise. From the lineup he provided, it’s 3133, Pirlo as the lone defensive midfielder, Zambrotta, Kroos and Ramos as the midfielders. But Ramos and Zambrotta could theoretically retreat to form a five-man defense, while Kaka and Torres would take their places. Overall, it’s a very versatile lineup.”

”Right, during attacks it’s either 3133 or 343, switching to defense becomes 5131 or 541 haha, it’s clear that Guardiola has ideas.”

At 4:20 PM, the referee blew the whistle to start the match.

Milan kicked off first.

Ibrahimovic passed back directly.

Toni Kroos got the ball and immediately passed to the wing, Zambrotta waited for Nasri to come up before turning to pass to Pirlo, and Pirlo controlled the rhythm in the backfield.

After Arsenal players pushed forward, Pirlo passed the ball to Ramos again.

Ramos pushed forward a few steps himself, then sent a direct pass to Kaka.

Kaka didn’t see an opportunity and passed it back to Toni Kroos.
