Chapter 487: Chapter 487
While dining at the restaurant, Raul said, "Kevin, you didn’t have to come; your injury hasn’t healed."
"It’s okay; who knows, maybe I’ll miraculously recover before the game?"
Huang Kaiwen said after taking a sip of water.
"It’s not that easy; it’d be great if you could recover."
He clearly felt that Real Madrid with and without Huang Kaiwen were two different teams.
Not just in strength, but even the morale and the locker room atmosphere were different.
After dinner, back in his room, Huang Kaiwen turned on the TV and saw Cruyff speaking eloquently, saying, "Even if Kevin is there, Real Madrid is not invincible. They’ve struggled in the UEFA Champions League against Bayern, and Barcelona is a stronger team than Bayern Munich. Barça fully has the capability to do better than Bayern... De Jong? Dutch soccer needs defensive players, but him going to Real Madrid isn’t good news, he’ll only get lost there."
Ramos, lying in bed, said, "Don’t listen to that old man; he just talks nonsense on TV after retiring."
Cruyff not only criticized opponents but also often meddled in Barça’s internal affairs.
Last November, Rijkaard had a dispute with Cruyff. Going back in time, when Rijkaard was a player, Cruyff, who was coaching Ajax, wasn’t too fond of his lax attitude.
"It’s fine, I don’t mind."
Huang Kaiwen shook his head.
"Then get some sleep early, Kevin."
The next day, after having breakfast and a rest, most of his teammates went to the Espanyol training ground.
Huang Kaiwen stayed in the hotel playing games.
There was one more day until the Spain national derby, but discussions about the match were already very heated.
[In a chat about Huang Kaiwen]:
"It looks like Huang Kaiwen really can’t play, feels like it’s not just a fake injury this time, he didn’t even play against Bayern."
"Damn, really? This makes me not even want to watch the match."
"Yes, the Spain national derby is so boring without Huang Kaiwen playing."
"From what the mainstream media are saying, it looks like Huang Kaiwen really won’t make it for the Spain national derby."
"Fuck, Huan, moderators, come and ban this user!"
"What’s up with Huan again? I’ve seen a lot of discussion here these last days. Suddenly back to this forum, does it have something to do with Huan?"
"Don’t you know? Huan went to Dingbao, and was warmly received by the chief moderators there. When they got drunk, he stole the forum back."
"That’s wrong, what I heard was that Huan took more than 200 people there, and forced the previous moderators to hand over the management of the forum."
"Don’t fucking lie; we’re just cursing Huan, you’re wanting him dead, bringing more than 200 people."
"If that’s the case, why not find him at his school?"
"Find him my ass, such a small matter, no need to make it so embarrassing, Huan also apologized here in the forum."
"In the end, he broke up with Shanshan, heard it was his decision, his roommate said he cried like an idiot."
When his teammates came back in the evening, they did not look very happy.
Sitting next to Ramos, Huang Kaiwen asked, "What happened?"
"Nothing much, just some Barcelona fans cursing outside during the afternoon training, and it wasn’t peaceful on the way back either,"
"They’re just a bunch of motherfuckers!"
Ramos cursed, "Last time Puyol and Xavi fouled Kevin, causing his hearing damage, and they still have the guts to curse at us during our training. We definitely need to show them some color during the match."
"Then give it your all."
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.
"It’s still tough without you."
"I believe you guys can win."
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.
He planned to use his "Injury Suspension Card" in the morning, giving everyone a surprise.
Real Madrid players went to sleep with a heavy heart that night.
In the morning, Huang Kaiwen used the "Injury Suspension Card."
[Ding, the 24-hour Injury Suspension Card has been successfully used, injury is suspended, any injury received in the next 24 hours will not disappear but will accumulate once the effects end]
Huang Kaiwen understood.
It meant that during the national derby, no matter how he was kicked, he wouldn’t be injured immediately.
But the injuries from being kicked in the national derby, once the "Suspension Card" effects ended, would appear alongside previously suspended injuries.
After a brief consideration, Huang Kaiwen also used the "24-hour Immunity Card" he had refreshed in March.
In a match like the national derby, Barcelona would definitely not hold back.
Looking at the situation now, he knew the game would be very intense, and he, Huang himself, was a prime target for Barça. If he saved the "Immunity Card" and accumulated too many injuries in this game, missing the rest of the season would be a loss indeed.
At breakfast, Capello stood up and said, "We won’t train today. You can relax freely before the match, but I suggest you don’t leave the hotel."
"Wait, coach, I want to play today,"
Huang Kaiwen raised his hand and said.
Everyone looked towards Huang Kaiwen.
"Kevin, your injury,"
Capello said in disbelief, "Kevin, isn’t your injury still unhealed?"
"It’s okay; I had an injection before coming."
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.
The dining room fell silent suddenly.
Ramos was the first to stand and slam his hands on the table, saying, "Kevin can’t play; it’s too dangerous."
Injections are not unfamiliar to players, but they don’t solve the problem of injuries and can easily cause secondary damage.
