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

Chapter 1675: Chapter 458: The Guardiola-Mourinho Standoff

”Marca”: ”We interviewed Butragueño, and he said he hopes Real Madrid wins, but when asked if he thinks Real Madrid will win, he refused to answer. Obviously, this Real Madrid legend doesn’t believe we will win this match. Someone has ruined everything at Real Madrid, and Real Madrid is still paying for his mistakes, that’s what has happened to Real Madrid.”

Although I haven’t seen newspapers from other countries.

But Huang Kaiwen guessed their views are probably similar.

Even without considering the strength and recent performances of both sides, many people do not want Mourinho to keep winning.

Since Mourinho joined Real Madrid, his results have been similar to Guardiola’s, remaining unbeaten in the league and UEFA Champions League, with three draws.

But compared to Real Madrid’s previous results, this is already a huge improvement.

After arriving in Spain, Mourinho is still very aggressive, and even some Spanish media are waiting for him to lose.

A little after five in the afternoon.

Bernabeu press conference hall.

Huang Kaiwen and Guardiola entered together, stirring up the atmosphere completely.

Sitting on the stage, Casillas smiled at Huang Kaiwen.

Huang Kaiwen quickly nodded and turned his face to the other side.

Once Huang Kaiwen and Guardiola settled in, the reporters eagerly started asking questions.

”Mr. Mourinho, will you park the bus today?”

”Kevin was your player before, how would you evaluate Kevin?”

”Igor, as a former teammate facing Kevin, what kind of feeling will you have?”

”Pep, why did you previously let Kevin sit in a wheelchair?”

”Will you hold back today, Kevin?”

”...”

Today, the Bernabeu press conference room was already packed with quite a few journalists, their questions generating more noise than the fans.

The Bernabeu’s press officer had to step in to maintain order.

Or else the press conference would be delayed for a long time.

It took about three minutes before Mourinho gave Casillas a pat, letting him speak first.

Casillas stretched his head to look at Huang Kaiwen sitting on the other side, saying: ”Playing against Kevin is always a special experience, it makes me feel bad. But professional football is like this, even when facing Kevin, I’ll try my best.”

”Kevin, what do you say?” a reporter pursued.

Huang Kaiwen pulled the microphone to himself and said: ”I’m glad to return to Bernabeu, it has great history. Playing here is an honor for any player.”

”Will you show mercy today?”

The reporter pressed on.

”I’m tired of such questions, but since you’ve asked, I can only reiterate. Regardless of who the opponent is, I will go all out; this is the basic conduct of professional players. Football is a competitive sport, and the greatest respect to both opponents and teammates is by giving your all on the pitch; that’s what I want to say.”

Huang Kaiwen said.

Mourinho’s expression was somewhat unnatural.

He suddenly thought of a question.

The tarot card previously mentioned ”the beginning of it all.”

Could there be a possibility, it’s not about him winning, but about him being kicked and humiliated?

Even if Mourinho doesn’t want to admit it, seeing Huang Kaiwen, he can’t help but think about the possibility of losing.

The efficiency Huang Kaiwen has shown in his team is a category apart from other players.

Even with today’s targeted arrangements, he still has some worries.

Mourinho directly said: ”There are only two teams in the world, one with Kevin and one without Kevin. I’m lucky to have closely witnessed his career, having been his coach for two years. He has played for different coaches in different positions, but Kevin has continued to progress. There are many geniuses in football, but Kevin is the greatest.”

”So is it hard for Real Madrid to win today?”

A reporter asked.

Mourinho didn’t get angry, instead, he nodded and said: ”Football is not only about winning or losing, you should see more, deeper things. If I can lead Real Madrid to a draw against AC Milan today, it would be my most remarkable achievement in my career, because we would have stopped Kevin.”

Hearing this, Guardiola couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Unexpectedly, Mourinho still holds a grudge.

Mourinho completely ignored him, disregarding his presence and role as a coach.

”Is drawing really the greatest achievement, won’t it make Real Madrid fans feel like you’re surrendering?”

The reporter continued to ask.

”Open your eyes and look!”

Mourinho extended his index and middle fingers, pointing at his own eyes, then pointed to the reporter exaggeratedly: ”We’re talking about Kevin, Kevin and AC Milan. Their market value is 500 million more than Real Madrid. Do you understand how much 500 million is? That’s the gap. Admitting your shortcomings is the only way to improve. Today’s match is not a UEFA Champions League group stage match, but a Bernabeu defense battle. I will persuade the players to perform adequately.”

Seeing Mourinho growing impatient, reporters shifted their focus to Guardiola.

”Pep, doesn’t being from Barca make you want to beat Real Madrid even more?”

The reporter asked.

”Yes, I must be honest. It’s a part of my DNA embedded in my blood; seeing Real Madrid makes me want to beat them. But it’s not easy; Real Madrid has a great coach; they are a great team. To win, we must exert more effort.” Guardiola said.

”Who is better between you and Mr. Mourinho?”

The reporter pressed.

”Jose has won more titles, and football is a place that measures success with titles, so your question has no significance.” Guardiola said with a smile.

Mourinho glanced at Guardiola.

Not sure whether Guardiola was being sincere or trying to flatter him to a fault.

”Can you predict today’s score?”

The reporter asked.

Guardiola shook his head and said: ”Sorry, you should consult a fortune teller for that sort of thing. I need to go back and prepare, so this concludes today’s press conference.”

Guardiola looked at Huang Kaiwen.

Huang Kaiwen nodded to Casillas and Mourinho, then left the press conference with Guardiola.

On the way back, Guardiola asked: ”Will you start today, or do you prefer to play as a substitute?”

”Starting is fine.” Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.

The reason he previously got injured was because he didn’t use the [Immunity Card].

[Immunity Card] is saved for playing against Real Madrid, isn’t it?

The two entered the dressing room together, where Gattuso was sharing his experience in raising children.

”With kids, you can’t be soft; you must let them know that crying is useless, a person must rely on themselves!”

Gattuso said.

He ran barefoot on the beach as a child, far worse than his kid’s growing environment.

Even with Gabriella being a girl, he did not lower his expectations.

”I really feel sorry for your kids.” Inzaghi sighed and said.

”Someone like you who doesn’t even have a wife shouldn’t speak too much.” Gattuso pushed Inzaghi and said, ”If you haven’t raised kids, you don’t have the authority to speak.”

”But I’ve fed my brother’s kids!”

Inzaghi retorted defiantly.

”Yes, you even sent your eight-year-old nephew cats to fish with.” Kaka directly exposed.

The dressing room burst into laughter.

Guardiola couldn’t help but chuckle.

Unexpectedly, Inzaghi is so unreliable.

After Huang Kaiwen changed into his gear, he looked at the expectation value of 100 and chose to draw.
