Chapter 422: Chapter 422
"So you mean the atmosphere in the Real Madrid locker room isn’t good?"
Victor Sine quickly asked.
"Of course not," Huang Kaiwen shook his head and said, "In a Michelin establishment, there are many rules, and it’s the same at Real Madrid. you’re the focus of the world, and even a small incident makes the papers. When I was at Milan, there were rarely any negative news stories, but at Real Madrid, journalists would snap a moment’s expression and then fabricate conflicts between you and your teammates. You have to be very cautious."
"I see, it’s because of the high level of scrutiny, right."
"Yes, exactly, at Real Madrid you’re not only a player but also a big star. You have to constantly be mindful of your actions and words."
Victor Sine asked Huang Kaiwen with a smile, "Who are you closest with at Real Madrid, and who do you have conflicts with?"
"It’s not really conflicts, so let’s not talk about that, mainly tactical disagreements. I have a good relationship with all the players at Real Madrid, Raul is a good friend, I’m particularly close to Ramos, Cassano and Guti often come over to my place, Ronnie used to come over often before his injury, and Robinho likes to join in the fun too, I think everyone gets along well,"
"Last question, people say you occasionally watch the youth team’s games, is there any player there you have high hopes for?" Victor Sine asked.
"There aren’t any particular players I’m watching, I just feel, as a first-team star, that showing up to cheer them on is encouraging. I often talk with the youth players, encouraging them, hoping they can move up to the first team,"
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.
For instance, he now has a good relationship with Mata.
"Alright, that’s it for today. Congratulations again, Kevin."
Victor Sine stood up and shook hands with Huang Kaiwen.
Huang Kaiwen saw him to the door and added two bottles of wine as a gift.
More gifts, less offense.
When it’s time for the journalists to write, they’ll have a few extra good words to say about the Yellow Ball King.
This time, Huang Kaiwen was indeed resting at home due to his injury.
He had planned to play in the Spain snooker ranking events, trying to qualify for the Master’s preliminary contests, but now he couldn’t even stand steadily, let alone play.
On December 1, the shop was updated again.
Special template: [Shinnosuke Nohara] 1,000,000 destiny points.
Template: [Stefano] 10,000 points, [Puskas] 10,000 points, [Soldado] 3,700 points,
Skills: [Scorpion Kick Mastery] 1,000 points, [Tennis Mastery] 100 points.
Items: [Immunity Card] 20 points.
Special Item: [Ashley Young’s Lucky Bird Droppings] 400 points.
It turns out the special template is a new god.
Strictly speaking, this new god’s football skills are average, and at best, he can kick with his butt. However, regarding luck, he’s arguably unmatched.
[Shinnosuke Nohara] truly is a chosen one, what he wishes for, he wins instantly.
After refreshing so many special templates, Huang Kaiwen feels this one is the best.
If he really had so many destiny points, he would buy it without hesitation.
Huang Kaiwen noticed that this time the theme revolved around Real Madrid.
[Stefano] was rated by past Ballon d’Or winners as the super Ballon d’Or.
[Puskas] had scored a grand slam in a UEFA Champions League final.
Both are top-notch Real Madrid legends.
As for [Soldado], he seems still to be at Real Madrid.
It’s not easy to assess such a player whose great potential hasn’t fully materialized. A scorer of about 10 goals each season doesn’t meet the expectations of a top club.
Huang Kaiwen spent 120 points to acquire [Tennis Mastery] and the [Immunity Card].
Next time he meets Nadal, he can also show off in front of him.
The Yellow Ball King feels, when he’s had enough of football, he could completely transition like Michael Jordan did in his sports career.
Even if he didn’t win a title, [Tennis Mastery] combined with a top-tier physical template would ensure he wouldn’t embarrass himself at Wimbledon.
Real Madrid won 2:1 at home against Athletic Bilbao.
Huang Kaiwen, Cannavaro, and the club’s executives together flew to Paris.
The top ten of the 2006 Ballon d’Or were Huang Kaiwen, Cannavaro, Buffon, Henry, Ronaldo, Zidane, Eto’o, Klose, Kaka, Pirlo.
Among them, five players were from the World Cup finals.
That’s how it is in a big tournament year.
Upon arriving at the hotel in the evening, he met with Miss and the Milan players.
He had just returned to his room to rest.
Just when Huang Kaiwen had recovered from an injury, he got injured again.
The system prompted again [Share Filippo Inzaghi’s injury, gain 100 destiny points].
More destiny points make Huang Kaiwen very happy.
But are Inzaghi’s injuries happening too frequently?
Sitting on Huang Kaiwen, Miss saw his pained expression and asked, "Dear, what’s wrong?"
"It’s nothing, just an injury."
The young lady gasped, covering her mouth and quickly got up.
Had she gained weight? No, that couldn’t be it.
"It has nothing to do with you."
Huang Kaiwen said soothingly.
"How can it have nothing to do with me?"
The young lady spoke with a gloomy face, "When I get back to Italy, I’m definitely going to start dieting."
"No need, a bit of weight is good."
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.
He didn’t like the supermodels who were too thin.
"Stop kidding, I’ve decided, when I return, I’ll diet."
The young lady clenched her fist, energized.
"Then be careful, don’t go to extremes and harm your body."
Huang Kaiwen advised.
The next morning, Huang Kaiwen and Kaka played games while the young lady and Beatrice went shopping.
In the afternoon, after packing up, the group set out together for the Chatelet Theatre in Paris.
Because of the special circumstances last year, it was held in Cardin Square.
This year’s Ballon d’Or was placed indoors.
Calderon, beaming with pride, greeted other club presidents.
Stefano, accompanying him, said, "Our president is too focused on business."
Huang Kaiwen didn’t say anything.
Focusing on business is good.
He, the Yellow Ball King, had also made quite a bit of money.
"I think this year’s Ballon d’Or is still yours, Kevin,"
Kaka said with a smile.
Cannavaro forced a smile.
He had held on to a glimmer of hope, but since "L’Équipe" hadn’t come for an interview, he knew he hadn’t won the award.
After exchanging greetings with some football heavyweights,
the Ballon d’Or ceremony officially started at 6 p.m.
This year the young lady couldn’t sit next to Huang Kaiwen as family members and club executives were seated in the back rows.
Henry, sitting to his left, said to Huang Kaiwen.
"Are you so sure it’s me?"
Huang Kaiwen asked with a smile.
"If it weren’t for you, I think it might be an Italian taking the award,"
Henry said, also smiling, "But last year’s UEFA Champions League final, your goals were many and beautiful, and recently your performance has been outstanding. The Italians didn’t shine like that at the World Cup."
"Alright, you might be right."
He didn’t admit he had already won the award.
As the ceremony progressed, photos of Huang Kaiwen, Cannavaro, and Buffon appeared on the big screen.
These were the top three for the 2006 Ballon d’Or.
When they saw Stefano was the guest of honor, most people in the audience had already guessed the outcome.
Stefano opened the envelope excitedly and announced, "The winner of the 2006 Ballon d’Or is still Kevin!"
After shaking hands with Henry, Huang Kaiwen stood up and was immediately hugged by Kaka.
Kaka said excitedly, "Kevin, I knew you would win the Ballon d’Or!"
"You really have confidence in me, Ricardo."
Huang Kaiwen laughed and patted Kaka on the back as he walked up to the stage.
"Congratulations, Kevin, you are the pride of Real Madrid."
Stefano handed over the trophy with a smile.
Huang Kaiwen took the trophy and stood at the podium.
After adjusting the microphone, Huang Kaiwen said, "Last year I spoke a lot here, so I won’t say much this year. Thanks to my family, my love, and everyone who has supported and encouraged me, you have given me warmth like a family, and you are everything to me, more than any Ballon d’Or."
Loud applause broke out.
The topic of family is always mainstream in Europe and America.
In Hollywood movies, as long as it’s for the family, people can understand whatever bad things you do.
Huang Kaiwen received another prompt.
[Ding, you have intercepted Cannavaro’s sole Ballon d’Or...]
