Chapter 2350 - 596: A Hundred Years of Solitude
After hanging up the phone, she was still fuming.
Fortunately, a segment of Netherlands team players being interviewed was playing on TV.
In their words, it was all praise for Huang Kaiwen.
The situation was pretty much the same with the reporters randomly interviewing people on the streets of the Netherlands.
"I thought we were going to be out of the group stage, but the situation changed as soon as Kevin took over."
"This is the most united Netherlands team I’ve ever seen."
said an elderly fan with graying hair.
"This championship is fantastic, it really slapped the face of those who doubted us!" a young fan said excitedly.
The young lady giggled along.
But she kept feeling like she’d forgotten something.
When she was about to pick up the remote, she noticed Paul lying there.
The young lady hurriedly hugged Paul and said: "Mommy loves you, you have to believe in mommy..."
Westminster, London.
The Maybourne Berkeley Hotel.
It’s 200 meters away from Hyde Park.
Which means it’s very close to Kevin’s house.
Gagliani was very clear about his position.
So he tried not to appear in front of Huang Kaiwen unless necessary.
But he also had to stay ready to handle affairs at any moment.
After receiving a call from Barbara, he immediately started thinking about how to deal with Gelder.
Huang Kaiwen didn’t pay much attention to the other party, but if things got too big, Huang Kaiwen might not be pleased.
Barbara wanted him to do something about it.
The difficulty was in handling the balance.
However, dealing with such matters was no difficulty for Gagliani.
During the Olympics, there were reporters everywhere in London, especially the Brits, who loved news. Anything about Olympic athletes could make the papers.
Therefore, getting Gelder on the newspaper wasn’t difficult.
The challenge was how not to upset Huang Kaiwen while satisfying Barbara.
Gagliani looked at the information on Steve Gelder in his hand.
A child from a wealthy family.
That’s for sure.
Equestrian athletes are similar to F1 racers; the costs for venue, horses, and equipment are all quite expensive.
You can’t cultivate such talent without substantial family wealth.
Even among all Olympic events, equestrian athletes are the most costly to cultivate.
The expenses for nurturing a player of Gelder’s level to this point would easily reach millions of dollars.
The prize money for winning equestrian competitions is only around thousands to tens of thousands of dollars.
This pales in comparison to the investment and return in developing a football star.
If his family isn’t short of money, then he’s not the type of person trying to cash in on celebrity.
For fame, for attention!
Gagliani immediately made a judgment.
For people like this, making them lose face is the best punishment.
Having made up his mind, Gagliani immediately went to contact someone.
The next morning.
When Huang Kaiwen got up, Gagliani was already sitting in the living room waiting for him.
"Have you had breakfast, Adriano? Come eat with me."
Huang Kaiwen greeted him.
Gagliani drank coffee without immediately eating, instead starting a conversation about the team.
"Pirlo has already signed with Manchester United."
"That’s not bad."
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.
Otherwise, it would’ve been tricky to place this old teammate.
"We are already talking with Chelsea about Bale."
"Hmm."
Seeing Huang Kaiwen’s lack of interest, Gagliani said: "Sergio Ramos seems to be traveling with Gattuso’s son."
Huang Kaiwen’s eyes widened immediately.
Are this master and apprentice team going on a spiritual journey?
Gagliani continued discussing the matter of Ramos.
After talking for a while.
Huang Kaiwen picked up the newspaper.
Casually flipping through, he saw that The Sun newspaper wrote: "Swiss equestrian Steve Gelder was caught being blocked at the Olympic Village entrance by two escorts because he didn’t pay them for the night."
𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Seeing Huang Kaiwen’s smile.
Gagliani finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Olympic Village.
The Swiss team just held a press conference.
They clarified the matter.
But it was useless.
Because Gagliani specifically timed this to when Gelder wasn’t at the Olympic Village to solidify the story.
It’s common for Olympic athletes to go out and have fun at the host location, otherwise, why would the Olympics provide them with condoms?
Although London has a lot of surveillance.
Scotland Yard isn’t run by the Swiss team.
Want surveillance footage? No way!
The entire London, no, the British Isles all hoped to see Gelder embarrassed, so this thing was considered done by Gelder.
After painstakingly explaining to everyone.
Gelder was ready to go back to his room to rest.
His phone rang, and after listening to one sentence he cursed: "If you want a condom, ask your mom, don’t f***ing call me..."
He just hung up the phone when someone else called.
Seeing an unfamiliar number, he quickly hung up.
But immediately a text message came in, saying: Hurry up and arrange for two girls to come over, wants Nordic...
...
Huang Kaiwen hadn’t decided whether to stay in the Olympic Village yet.
Mainly because the Olympic Village built by the Brits was so damn poor.
A small room with a corridor of just over half a meter between the two beds.
Even though the Yellow Ball King wanted to show his willingness to unite with everyone and not need privilege.
But the resting environment was truly awful, and sleeping so close to unfamiliar roommates was somewhat awkward.
Gagliani hadn’t left yet when Inzaghi showed up uninvited.
"Worried about your money?"
Huang Kaiwen asked.
"No, I just wanted to see if there’s any way I could be of service to you. The thought of my best friend participating in so many events makes me unable to help but worry about you."
Inzaghi said with a smile.
Huang Kaiwen: ...
This guy Inzaghi really has a face thicker than ever.
