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

Chapter 2013: Chapter 526: Who Can Brandish the Blade and Stand Tall

”It’s not about winning or losing, nor about playing or not playing.”

Huang Kaiwen said, ”Once you set a tactic, you have to take responsibility for it.”

”Don’t worry!”

Kaka clapped Huang Kaiwen on the shoulder and said, ”After we win today, we’re planning to celebrate at your place!”

Huang Kaiwen stood up with a smile, walked to the center of the locker room, and said, ”You all know the situation. Now, in reality, I’m in charge of the team. To me, this is even more nerve-wracking than the first time I wore the Milan jersey because it involves the whole team, including the coaching staff and the medical team. It’s a big responsibility, and we’re immediately facing Juventus. I’m curious if we can win.”

”Don’t worry, Coach!”

Gattuso shouted loudly, ”It’s been a long time since we lost to Juventus!”

”Yeah!”

Ambrosini joined in to heckle.

Huang Kaiwen waved his hand with a smile and said, ”Good attitude, don’t be afraid of the opponent, but also take them seriously. Antonio Conte is a good coach, and Juventus plays well under him, so be cautious when facing them. Let’s go warm-up.”

Milan players gradually filed out of the locker room.

Inzaghi looked Huang Kaiwen up and down and said, ”I thought you were getting married, dressed so smartly!”

Huang Kaiwen lifted his right foot without a word and kicked Inzaghi on the rear.

Inzaghi let out an exaggerated yelp and ran out of the locker room.

This guy obviously noticed the Yellow Ball King’s nervousness and used this way to lighten the mood.

The referee today is Rizzoli, who has been specially cultivated since the Calciopoli scandal.

This also shows the importance the Italian Football Federation places on this match.

Possibly because his first profession is an architect, Rizzoli’s refereeing is very strict by nature.

He was previously exposed as an Inter Milan fan, but there were few controversies during his officiating, and Inter Milan only had 3 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in the 6 matches he officiated.

Overall, having Rizzoli referee this match is the best choice.

But he issues a lot of cards.

This is not very favorable for Milan.

Even Huang Kaiwen admits that Milan’s players are more individualistic than those of most teams.

From Buffon to Nesta, from Van Bommel to van Persie, Ibrahimovic, Milan’s players have bad tempers.

In every large-scale conflict, Milan always receives more cards than their opponents.

After a while, Nesta and Cesare Maldini returned to the locker room.

Nesta changed his gear and went out directly to warm-up.

Old Maldini sat next to Huang Kaiwen and said, ”Are you nervous? Actually, I am too.”

”I can understand.”

Huang Kaiwen nodded and said.

For Old Maldini, even the Italy national team cannot compare to the place Milan holds in his heart.

After many years, returning to coach Milan, even if just as a nominal interim coach, he would feel some trepidation.

”The first time I coached, it was a total mess.”

Old Maldini looked up at the ceiling and said, ”Back then, the magazines said that eating sweets can relieve tension, so before the match, I ate a lot of ice cream and chocolate. When I stood on the sidelines, my mouth was so sticky it was very uncomfortable, and when I drank water, I got a stomachache. You can imagine that.”

”Sounds awkward.”

Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.

”Yes, I felt embarrassed enough to not want to live, and we didn’t win that match either.”

Then he stood up, waved his hands in front of him, and said, ”Look, I’m perfectly fine now. Even if it’s the first time, after experiencing it many times, it feels very normal. It’s just one day in your life.”

”That’s helpful, thank you.”

Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.

Hearing the commotion inside the player tunnel, Huang Kaiwen stood up and asked Old Maldini to join him.

The two followed the players through the tunnel.

The Alpi Stadium was filled with loud boos.

This was not aimed at Huang Kaiwen, but at Cesare Maldini.

Cesare played for Torino FC, Juventus’s city rival, in the late stage of his career.

Huang Kaiwen put his hand on Old Maldini’s arm.

Old Maldini stubbornly pushed away Huang Kaiwen and said, ”Never show your weakness to your enemies!”

Huang Kaiwen shook his head with a smile.

This stubborn old man.

Successful people always have similar traits.

Stubbornness and obstinacy are not bad traits in the football world.

The Alpi Stadium, with a capacity of 69,000, was flooded with over 70,000 fans today.

Besides Cesare being a Milan and Torino legend.

The banners also exposed the mindset of the Juventini.

Envy!

They envy that Milan is about to have its own stadium.

Even with Juventus backed by the Agnelli Family, they still don’t have their own stadium.

Coupled with Milan’s dominance over Juventus over the last 10 years and its glorious achievements.

These reasons combined have twisted the Juventini’s mindset.

Cesare Maldini went over and shook hands with Conte, encouraging him, ”Your ideas are great, keep pushing on.”

Conte gave a bitter smile.

Only in Turin can you feel how much the fans expect a victory from this match.

He also wants to beat AC Milan, especially Huang Kaiwen’s AC Milan.

But he also knows how difficult that is.

The expectations of the Juventini and the club’s management have kept him up for the last two nights.

...

”Alessandro is a good kid.”

Old Maldini said back at the dugout.

”Yes, it’s just a pity that his luck isn’t great.”

Huang Kaiwen said.

Nesta lost the coin toss, Juventus got to choose the field first.
