Chapter 2156 - 555: Ronaldo and the Flea (Part 3)
"Alright alright."
said Huang Kaiwen.
"Then you better not lose a single match this summer."
Inzaghi continued.
Huang Kaiwen instinctively said, "Alright..."
He quickly gathered himself and turned to Inzaghi, saying seriously, "Filippo, regardless of whether I have the ability to win all the medals, I’m definitely not going to give my all in the preliminaries, I might even intentionally take a lower position, so I suggest you don’t get involved in those chaotic matters. No one can keep winning all the time."
"Got it, got it."
Inzaghi waved his hand impatiently.
He’s spending so much money, how else could he maintain a respectable lifestyle without finding ways to earn some?
Huang Kaiwen didn’t know if Inzaghi took his words seriously.
But he surely said what needed to be said.
This time the flight duration was exactly one and a half hours, and the whole Milan team landed at Heathrow Airport.
Although Milan purposely concealed the flight time, there were still quite a lot of fans present to receive them.
The Milan team had booked the Claridge’s Hotel.
It’s worth mentioning that this is a property owned by the Qatari Royal Family.
In London, they own more properties than the British Royal Family and the London Transport Authority.
Harrods was bought by Qataris in 2010.
The newly opened Shard is also nearly fully owned by Qataris.
The hotel is not too far from Hyde Park, only about a 20-minute walk.
However, Milan doesn’t have that much free time.
The whole team settled in, had dinner, and borrowed Arsenal’s training ground the next day.
Once in London, Milan only had one day to prepare.
Returning to the hotel in the evening, Huang Kaiwen and Kaka, Messi, and a few others watched the night’s match together, and although Real Madrid equalized the aggregate score at their home ground, they still lost out to the Germans in the penalty shootout.
Bayern Munich became the first team to reach the UEFA Champions League final this season.
Huang Kaiwen instinctively reached for his trouser pocket.
Then he remembered he hadn’t brought the IOU.
He wasn’t sure if Müller remembered about it.
"Schweinsteiger played pretty well."
Messi said.
"Yes, he performed very well in the defensive midfield position."
Huang Kaiwen nodded.
It was only after being transformed into a defensive midfielder that ’Little Pig’ became a world-class player.
"Even if he played well, he can’t stop Kevin."
Ramos said, "It’s not like we haven’t played before; Kevin always crushes him."
"But it’s not that easy."
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile, "Go back and rest, tomorrow is the day of the match."
After teammates left.
Huang Kaiwen lay on the bed watching TV.
"Can’t sleep?"
Kaka asked.
"Yeah." Huang Kaiwen nodded, "Even though it’s mid-season and I should focus on the team, when I finally get to London, it’s hard not to think about the Olympics."
"Are you worried about Bolt?"
Kaka asked softly.
Bolt is the only person in the world who has beaten Huang Kaiwen twice.
"Yes, and no."
Huang Kaiwen said, "I just don’t want to disappoint the people who support me, regardless of who the opponent is. Of course, Bolt should be the toughest competitor."
"You’re putting too much pressure on yourself, Kevin."
Kaka advised, "You’ve already won so many honors and are still chasing more, without slacking off, that’s already quite impressive. I’ve heard many similar sayings, even Italians say you should be the symbol of the Olympics."
"Hahaha, don’t listen to their nonsense."
Huang Kaiwen casually switched the channel.
On TV, Lineker was analyzing the upcoming match.
Lineker said, "Although Chelsea lost the first leg, they have two crucial away goals, which are very important."
"Yes, that’s the key to advancing."
Ian Wright nodded.
"In the first leg, Bale put a lot of pressure on AC Milan. If they want to win, it still depends on Bale’s performance." Lineker said.
"But with Messi recovered, Chelsea will face an even stronger AC Milan at Stamford Bridge this time."
Ian Wright reminded.
"Yeah, so I think Chelsea will find it difficult to win; their only chance is to score one goal and stubbornly hold onto the advantage of the two away goals, ultimately eliminating AC Milan with their away goal."
Lineker said.
Kaka felt he was being a bit presumptuous.
Huang Kaiwen isn’t afraid of any intense defense.
As he was about to discuss with Huang Kaiwen, Kaka noticed he had already fallen asleep, so he quickly shut his mouth, grabbed the remote control and set a 60-minute timer, then lay down as well.
The next day.
Finally game day arrived.
After getting up in the morning, Huang Kaiwen washed up and called Kaka and a few others to go downstairs to have breakfast together.
Ramos set up the newspapers for Huang Kaiwen and said, "I heard van Persie didn’t sleep a wink last night, wandered in the corridor, and almost got mistaken for a thief and arrested."
"Probably too nervous, right."
Huang Kaiwen said with a laugh, "After all, today’s match determines whether they can enter the UEFA Champions League final."
"The coach hasn’t recovered, and the starting lineup hasn’t been announced yet, who knows if he can play. If not, it’s nervousness in vain."
Ramos grumbled.
Huang Kaiwen chuckled, shook his head without saying anything.
Back then, good brothers even got red-eyed because of mistakes.
It’s best not to speak too much about such matters.
But Huang Kaiwen won’t make Ramos look bad, so he wouldn’t say this aloud.
Huang Kaiwen picked up the newspaper.
The Times’ front page surprisingly was about graphics cards.
They wrote, "NVIDIA’s founder and CEO Jensen Huang has not yet awakened in the hospital. According to our information, he had already anticipated the surge in graphics card prices, but the surprise came too fast and too huge, apparently overwhelming this IT giant. Reports claim he has already been diagnosed as unable to wake up, though this source is yet to be verified."
