Chapter 2192 - 563: Inflated Value Like Housing Prices
"AC Milan has a slightly better chance of winning, but we also have a shot."
Bergomi said.
"So, how big is Inter Milan’s chance of victory?"
Diletta Leotta pressed on.
"I can’t say exactly, it mainly depends on whether AC Milan is preparing for the UEFA Champions League final, and what kind of starting lineup they use."
Bergomi said honestly.
"So, you mean Inter Milan’s chance of winning mainly depends on AC Milan’s starting lineup, right?"
Diletta Leotta followed up.
Bergomi nodded and said, "That’s right, if Kevin doesn’t play, they can specifically defend against Messi, if the referee’s standards are suitable, then it’s doable."
"You mean defending Messi requires a lot of actions that teeter on the edge of a foul, right?"
Diletta Leotta continued asking.
"Although I don’t want to admit it, I must say it’s true. Messi is a super genius; his reaction speed is so fast that it makes it hard for defenders to keep up with his moves. To defend against a player like that, you need sufficient physical contact."
Diletta Leotta remarked.
"Then how do you defend against Kevin?"
Diletta Leotta asked further.
The always composed Bergomi changed his tone and said, "If I knew that, I would have called the club a long time ago!"
Huang Kaiwen changed the channel.
The TV was showing the scene of Jack and Rose sketching in the cabin.
The young lady leaning on Huang Kaiwen’s shoulder laughed and said, "Why not watch the soccer program anymore?"
"Nothing new."
Huang Kaiwen sighed and said, "I thought he might give Inter Milan some advice."
"Hmph, always boasting!"
Lily said from the other side.
Huang Kaiwen shrugged, and he was only speaking the truth.
He always cared about Inter Milan’s situation.
If Inter lost competitiveness, the Serie A’s competitiveness would decline even further.
At that time, if there’s no money, they might have to think about organizing some European Super League.
Watching the scene on the TV, the young lady’s breathing rhythm changed.
Huang Kaiwen laughed and swapped places with Lily, gently pushing her to the side.
Quickly, Lily became a defeated general under four hands.
...
May 6th.
Meazza Stadium.
Huang Kaiwen had already switched to new football boots.
Due to Huang Kaiwen’s specific traits, sponsors found it hard to make boots that fully meet his needs.
This time, the early-born X series is specifically lightened by replacing kangaroo leather with artificial microfiber material, facilitating increased speed.
Moreover, it’s said that these require very short breaking-in time.
Huang Kaiwen stood and tried them, indeed feeling lighter than previous boots.
This pair is just ordinary green in color, but before the UEFA Champions League final, another colorway will be delivered.
Milan players were used to Huang Kaiwen frequently changing boots.
With some envy, Inzaghi said, "If there were boots specifically fitting for my take-offs, I might have scored 200 more goals in my career!"
No one in the dressing room responded.
Inzaghi could only turn to Messi and asked, "What do you think, Leo?"
"Uh, I think maybe not that many."
Messi said shyly.
Huang Kaiwen immediately knew Messi was in trouble, sitting on the side and chuckling.
Inzaghi said seriously, "I often get called offside because my explosiveness is too great, making it hard for referees to judge when I start. If there were shoes aiding my take-offs, there shouldn’t be such issues, and having so many opportunities to score 200 more goals is quite easy."
"Enough, fool!"
Ambrosini threw his clothes over Inzaghi’s head, laughingly cursing, "You only know how to bully honest people. I’m telling you, even with specialized boots, you wouldn’t score 20 more goals, let alone 200."
"But the UEFA Champions League goal record is mine!"
Inzaghi retorted with his neck stuck out.
"Nonsense, it’s Kevin’s!"
Kaka directly countered.
"I’m talking about single-match goal record; Kevin hasn’t scored 8 goals in a single match, right?"
Inzaghi said proudly.
Ramos cursed directly, "Kevin shouldn’t have given you so many passes in that match, damn it!"
Inzaghi said cheerfully, "No matter who passed, I’m the holder of the single-match goal record."
"Alright, Filippo is right."
Huang Kaiwen stood up and clapped, "Today’s match is what’s really important, everyone has seen it, the Rossoneri think we’re bound to win, so let’s not disappoint the fans today. We not only have to win but also win beautifully!"
"So you’re planning to score on the goal line?"
Inzaghi asked.
Huang Kaiwen feigned raising his foot, playfully scolding, "Get lost!"
Inzaghi immediately dashed out, hiding behind Messi.
Cesare Maldini smilingly stood up and said, "Kevin is right, derbies will never lose their significance, even if we’ve already won the Serie A title, this match remains very important. When I played, I told my teammates, no matter when, the pleasure of seeing Inter lose is the most intense, so today you have to win the match."
After finishing, Old Maldini turned to head for the press conference.
Unlike Guardiola, he doesn’t like frequently taking Huang Kaiwen to attend press conferences.
"By the way, Leo, have you decided on a name for the child?"
Huang Kaiwen asked.
"If it’s a boy, it’ll be Thiago."
Messi smiled and said.
"Hahaha, Kevin must be trying to persuade you to name your child Paul."
Inzaghi shouted.
Huang Kaiwen quickly shook his head and said, "I didn’t, don’t listen to him."
