Chapter 424: Chapter 424

The fatty was starting to develop a headache as soon as he left the breakfast restaurant.

He had no clue where to get a signed jersey of Huang Kaiwen.

Huang Kaiwen and Kaka, among others, parted ways and boarded a private jet back to Madrid.

It was already 7 p.m. back home.

As usual, the evening news.

The anchor spoke exuberantly, "Yesterday, during the 2006 Ballon d’Or award ceremony, our country’s player Huang Kaiwen overwhelmingly won the Ballon d’Or, claiming the trophy for the second consecutive year and becoming the sixth player in the award’s 51-year history to successfully defend it."

Huang Kaiwen was holding the Ballon d’Or with Buffon and Cannavaro standing on either side of him.

Standing next to goalkeeper Buffon, Huang Kaiwen’s stature and presence were no less impressive, but Cannavaro seemed strained, half a head shorter than the other two.

What followed was various football stars congratulating Huang Kaiwen on his award, fully displaying his connections in the football world.

Buffon said in an interview, "Kevin is a tough opponent to deal with; I am not at all surprised by his winning the award. Some say someone from the World Cup-winning Italy National Team should have gotten the award, but they might have forgotten that in our victory, Kevin also played a crucial role. The whole world doubted Italy, and even we didn’t see the chance of winning, but it was Kevin’s speech on TV that inspired the Italy team. The Hercules Cup should attribute some credit to Kevin; it’s a pity he couldn’t celebrate the victory with us."

During Kaka’s interview, he was all smiles and excitedly said to the camera, "Kevin is the best player in the world, and even in South America, it would be hard to find someone with more talent than him. More importantly, Kevin always steps up in crucial moments. When playing with him, you never have to worry about losing the championship. As long as Kevin is healthy, he is unbeatable."

The internet-addicted teens were still at the water tread bar, waiting for a place to stay.

"Huang Kaiwen that bastard actually got the Ballon d’Or again, how is that reasonable?"

"I thought Cannavaro had a chance, but after he transferred to Real Madrid, he became too sluggish. It wouldn’t make sense to give him the Ballon d’Or."

"The main issue is, over the past year there haven’t been any particularly dazzling offensive players, only Huang Kaiwen could be considered outstanding."

"Damn, Huang Kaiwen that bastard is getting more and more shameless, always faking injuries, yet no one sees through him."

"Feels like Mr. World Football is going to be that bastard Huang Kaiwen’s for the taking."

"Really? That can’t be right! Mr. World Football places more importance on fame, do you think anyone has more fame than that bastard Huang Kaiwen?"

"F*ck, that can’t be right, why do the good ones cry and the bad ones laugh?"

"Kevin, for the upcoming away games, you stay in Madrid and recover from your injury, and try to return to the team’s training before the home game," Coach Calderon said obsequiously.

"I’ll try my best," Huang Kaiwen said with a headache.

Recently, Inzaghi had been getting injured quite frequently, and Huang Kaiwen wasn’t sure whether he’d recover in time.

It’s not like he could use a precious [Injury Time-Out Card] just for a home game.

"If it doesn’t work out, just display the Ballon d’Or Trophy at the match without playing," Calderon suggested.

Calderon asked, "Do you have any suggestions for the guest performer?"

"Shakira, she just sang at the World Cup closing ceremony and is a Spanish singer," Huang Kaiwen proposed.

He felt that this time he should be able to regain some favor.

"That’s what I was thinking too, seems like we’re on the same page," Calderon said with a smile.

Huang Kaiwen didn’t respond.

As if he would have any kind of understanding with him.

Although Huang could earn money, every penny was earned conscientiously, how could he be compared with someone who took kickbacks?

After the plane landed.

Huang Kaiwen and the young lady went home to rest.

The next morning, the young lady flew back to Milan City.

Recently, her struggle at the Fininvest Group with her elder sister had reached a critical point, and she couldn’t afford to be away from Milan City for long.

But it wasn’t a big deal.

This wasn’t the first time such a situation had occurred.

Barbara had a slightly larger group of supporters, but someone had gone undercover on her elder sister’s side, so it looked like a tie.

Waiting to take control of most of the top brass, Barbara was preparing a surprise for her elder sister.

Real Madrid played against Dynamo Kyiv in Kiev and ended up with a 2:2 draw, which was Real Madrid’s second consecutive 2:2 draw in the UEFA Champions League.

"World Sports News" mocked, "After leaving Kevin, Capello manages to keep Real Madrid undefeated against any team, but only just manages a draw because he simply can’t defeat his opponents. Bringing back Capello was a mistake in the first place."

Cruyff also wrote in his column, "Kevin winning the Ballon d’Or two years in a row, replicating my achievements, shows his strength. But a conservative coach like Capello will never let offensive players reach their full potential. Kevin’s biggest mistake this summer was not transferring to Barcelona, as it is widely known as a paradise for offensive players."

Returning to Madrid with the team, Capello chose to accept a television interview.

Cruyff was trying to drive a wedge between him and Kevin.

Capello had had enough.

In the television interview, Capello did not hold back, saying, "Who is Cruyff? He was a good player, I think he’s also a coach. I find it hard to remember the name of losers. At the time I managed AC Milan, we had many players injured, and things were not looking good. Then we, with an incomplete squad, defeated Barcelona 4:0 at the Athens Olympic Stadium to win the UEFA Champions League. If I’m not mistaken, that Barcelona team was managed by Cruyff. If I were him, I wouldn’t choose to comment on the victor. I don’t want to comment on Cruyff’s coaching level, it’s my personal quality, but the fact is, he did lose to me, and it was a heavy loss. His current comments against me make it hard not to suspect that he’s still bitter about that defeat."
