Chapter 1093: Chapter 349: Fated Showdown

The team doctors hurriedly checked him over.

Huang Kaiwen waved his hand and said.

Chief Team Doctor Brian English worriedly said, “That tackle was very brutal.”

“It’s nothing, I know my own body.”

Huang Kaiwen got up directly and said.

The coaching staff on the sideline was mostly expelled from the field.

Only goalkeeper coach Silvino Louro and data analyst Bartolomew Brito were left.

Brito once took over Mourinho’s duties briefly during the 04/05 season when Mourinho was suspended.

But because of that experience, Brito developed gastritis from the pressure.

He has clearly stated that he would not take over Chelsea’s first team again.

Silvino Louro doesn’t have the capability to coach the first team; this former Portugal international prefers to study various saving techniques.

In such a situation, someone needed to stand in the technical area to direct, and it turned out to be Chief Team Doctor Brian English.

“Hehe, Chelsea hasn’t changed coaches this season, but they’ve already had the fifth person directing.”

“It’s my first time seeing a team doctor directing the first team, maybe next time a substitute player will take over? Cudicini on Chelsea’s bench is quite experienced and also a player very good at communicating with teammates.”

“Chelsea still decided to substitute Huang Kaiwen, strengthening the defense. It seems they intend to hold onto the one-goal lead. That earlier tackle was indeed quite worrying.”

“More surprisingly, neither team’s head coach is present for this match.”

Several Chelsea coaches were ejected from the field.

Steve Bruce was probably too embarrassed to stand on the sidelines.

During his playing career, he was known as a tough guy, this tough guy style is popular in British and even European football, where being soft is used to mock the opposing players.

Getting beaten this time must be embarrassing for Bruce, so he switched to having the assistant coach direct.

He probably went back to the dressing room to rest himself.

Huang Kaiwen held his forehead and walked to the sidelines.

Today’s headache is real.

In this situation, Huang Kaiwen even considered going to the press conference with Terry.

Can’t let the Yellow Ball King deal with the headache alone.

“Kevin, join the press conference with me later.”

Sure enough, it came to this!

Huang Kaiwen knew it would be .

This mess really had to be cleaned up by the Yellow Ball King himself.

Chelsea, as the originators of parking the bus, did it much more effectively than Wigan.

Wigan, fighting with ten men, attacked furiously for over 10 minutes but failed to equalize.

In the end, Chelsea narrowly won 2-1 at home against Wigan Athletic, while Manchester United also secured a victory, keeping Chelsea five points clear at the top of the league standings.

Stamford Bridge press room.

The Wigan assistant coach made a brief statement then left.

He knew well whom the reporters wanted to see.

“Kevin, can you tell us about Chelsea?”

“Why did Chelsea’s coaching staff behave so violently?”

“Mourinho will surely be suspended this time, considering the severity of this incident, it won’t be a short suspension. Will Chelsea change managers?”

“Do you think Kirkland deserved the red card?”

Silvino Louro looked at Huang Kaiwen.

He knew it would come down to this.

Huang Kaiwen extended his right palm, gesturing for Louro to speak first.

Louro sighed, pulled the microphone over, and said, “I don’t know what to say because I’m just Chelsea’s goalkeeper coach. Jose and the others were a bit impulsive, but seeing that situation, the opponent’s goalkeeper’s vicious foul, I can understand Jose and the others’ actions. At least in the technical moves I teach Cech and the others, such ruthless tackling doesn’t exist.”

“But Kevin wasn’t injured, was he?”

Louro widened his eyes and asked, “If I empty a magazine at you, but my aim is bad and you’re fine, does it mean that nothing happened?”

Huang Kaiwen silently gave a thumbs up.

He didn’t expect this goalkeeper coach to have such a strong sense of attack too.

They’re indeed Mourinho’s cronies.

If this were in America, the ’emptying the magazine’ metaphor would be just as appropriate.

“Tell us about today’s match, Kevin.”

Huang Kaiwen pulled the microphone over and said, “We all know Mr. Mourinho, he is a very passionate and impulsive person, but he’s not a bad guy. Sometimes, he lets his blood run hotter than his reason, but football needs that kind of passion. Mr. Villas-Boas is a gentleman, adhering to noble etiquette; he sometimes gets into trouble, but he never does anything wrong. Rui Faria and Steve Clarke are very thoughtful people; last Christmas, we even went to visit kids in an orphanage together. What I want to say is, they’re not bad people, you can’t just dismiss everything about them because of one impulsive act…”

The reporters all showed a knowing expression.

They knew Huang Kaiwen would say that.

“What about the coaching change?”

A reporter pressed on.

“I’m not Chelsea’s CEO or club chairman, so asking me won’t help.”

Huang Kaiwen waved his hand and said, “By the way, I don’t understand why you want Chelsea to change coaches. Chelsea’s performance is stable, competing for trophies on four fronts, there’s no reason to change coaches. From your perspective, if Mr. Mourinho leaves, you might be very disappointed. That’s all I have to say; I suggest you consider my words carefully when writing your reports.”

Huang Kaiwen stood up, and Louro hurriedly followed him out.
