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

Chapter 1977: Chapter 519: Chicks and Inzaghi

”Goal!”

After a few seconds, Zhang shouted passionately, ”Goal, goal!!!”

”Young Hazard, making his debut for AC Milan. Although it’s just a warm-up match, scoring such a goal against Bayern is truly not easy, haha.”

”Yes, if the scorer was Huang Kaiwen, or Messi, or Robben, it wouldn’t be surprising. But Hazard scoring such a goal against Bayern is quite unexpected. Many say he hasn’t shown much facing big teams while on loan, but this goal proves Hazard is indeed a talented player.”

”Yes, haha, Hazard is about to become famous with this goal today. The European giants’ warm-up matches have begun, but the most stunning is this goal.”

The excited Hazard had already forgotten his planned celebration.

He crazily ran towards the stands, waving his arms.

But a few seconds later, he noticed something was amiss.

No teammates followed him to celebrate.

At this moment, Hazard remembered an awkward truth.

AC Milan players celebrate their goals with Huang Kaiwen.

What he did was a bit out of the ordinary.

Hazard quickly turned back, rushing to Huang Kaiwen’s side.

Guardiola stood with his mouth agape, watching the field.

Hazard’s performance was too surprising to him.

Who needs Sanchez when you have Hazard to play on the wing?

Besides Messi, Barcelona has Iniesta who can break through; now with Hazard, Milan’s tactics are more diverse.

As for van Persie on the wing or in the center, it doesn’t matter to him.

Three top forwards and he wouldn’t mind.

Especially since van Persie fits his requirements better than Ibrahimovic and Torres.

He wants a forward with stronger link-up play.

Torres is more of a finisher in this regard.

Though Ibrahimovic can drop back to orchestrate, he doesn’t really like challenging defenders to draw attention.

What he needs to do now is find a way for the three forwards to compete positively.

The audience generously applauded Hazard, and Ramos exclaimed in surprise, ”Kevin, this kid plays like Messi.”

Huang Kaiwen shook his head with a smile.

At his peak, Hazard was indeed regarded as a mini-Messi.

But in many aspects, he’s still slightly behind the king Messi.

An occasional highlight clip might look similar.

But over the course of a match, no player dribbles into densely packed defenses like Messi.

Hazard can’t, and neither can Neymar.

That’s why they’re called the ”Generation Three,” not ”Generation One.”

However, even the Generation Three, when in good form, can decide the outcome of a match.

Now, Milan’s lineup seems a bit too luxurious.

Subsequently, Hazard’s performance left Guardiola somewhat shaking his head.

He kept dribbling to impress, but instead wasted many opportunities.

If it weren’t for Huang Kaiwen’s relentless covering, Bayern might have equalized.

Ultimately, Milan narrowly defeated Bayern 1-0, winning their second warm-up match of the summer.

Inter Milan lost to Barça, which wasn’t surprising.

In 2011, Barça was considered a universal team, and losing Guardiola didn’t make much difference.

But the next day.

A piece of news stirred up the entire football world.

The ”Asahi Shimbun” wrote on page two: ”At the Japanese stop of the four giants’ Asia tour, AC Milan players signed multiple endorsements, earning the club 37 million euros, with the expected total Asia tour revenue exceeding 70 million euros.”

Just this short statement.

Completely made the other three giants envious.

million euros, what does that represent?

Later, Manchester City fully developed the Asian market, doing everything perfectly, including refund issues, and always thinking of Asian fans during holidays, with a summer tour income of around 16 million British Pounds.

By then, the British Pound had significantly devalued.

After having played Greentown and Cologne and returning to London to prepare for the Emirates Cup, Wenger said in a TV interview: ”Commercially, AC Milan is like a Galacticos project. They have many stars who are not only great players but also good-looking and come from diverse nationalities, combined with the club’s consistent performance, making sponsors more inclined towards AC Milan players. Robin called me from Japan; as soon as he arrived with AC Milan, he signed four endorsement contracts. This showcases AC Milan’s boost to players’ commercial value.”

Of course, having too many stars isn’t always good. I heard Pirlo hasn’t renewed his contract yet. AC Milan players are excellent, but renewing their contracts isn’t easy because AC Milan lacks enough salary space.”

As an economics PhD.

He understands all too well how formidable Milan is.

He mentions Milan’s limited salary space, but smart players will realize that commercial endorsements plus championship bonuses together exceed what they could earn being a main player at other clubs.

There’s honor and money.

Would a player voluntarily leave such a team?

What’s even more ridiculous is that AC Milan’s locker room doesn’t have much negative news.

At most, they just play ”Nazi” or act like a ”King.”

After a day.

Milan and Barça battled it out for 120 minutes at the Workers’ Stadium.

Guardiola did not let Huang Kaiwen play at all.

As the former Barça coach, he knew all too well about the grudges between Huang Kaiwen and Barça.

After Messi was substituted, van Persie came off the bench and finished Barça.

This finally ended Milan’s Asia tour.

In August, Huang Kaiwen once again welcomed a store refresh.
