Chapter 488: Chapter 488
"Right, Kevin, you shouldn’t go on the field,"
Capello said, nodding.
Temporarily turning off the self-protection instinct of pain can easily lead to more serious injuries to the already damaged muscles or bones when pain isn’t felt.
"Yeah, Kevin, don’t play, we will win the game,"
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile, "This is one of the most important games. Since I’m getting paid more, I need to take risks for the team."
The restaurant fell silent once more.
Van Nistelrooy looked at Huang Kaiwen with a shocked expression.
Although he didn’t like Huang Kaiwen, Van Nistelrooy still thought Huang Kaiwen was taking a risk.
The world’s top players, with endless possibilities ahead, risk worsening injuries or even affecting their careers by returning prematurely to play with pain-killing injections. Van Nistelrooy asked himself if he could do that; he wouldn’t agree even if it was the team’s request, let alone Huang Kaiwen deciding on his own.
"Kevin, better wait for us to finish playing,"
Raul said as he stood up and put his hand on Huang Kaiwen’s shoulder.
Capello sighed, "Then let Kevin play today, and substitute him at the first sign of trouble."
"We must win today’s match, otherwise it would not do justice to Kevin’s sacrifice!" Ramos slammed his fist on the table and roared, "For victory, spare nothing!"
Huang Kaiwen and his teammates shouted together, raising their arms.
He was pleased with the current effect; asymmetrical information was a good thing. He, the Yellow Ball King, hadn’t paid such a high price, but his teammates thought he had.
As a result, Real Madrid’s morale was sky-high, which was definitely a good thing for tonight’s game.
Before the national derby began.
Tokyo TV Station had already started the pre-game build-up.
Huang Kaiwen already had a fair number of fans in Japan.
Having frequently appeared in newspapers and on TV in recent days, he also attracted some young women who didn’t watch soccer.
Before the national derby, Tokyo TV Station warmed up for the game with a piece titled "God of Soccer."
The narrator said, "The world’s strongest player, with godlike feet, has decided the fate of the soccer’s supreme championship, making him a name that instills fear in countless goalkeepers—Huang Kaiwen!"
The screen showed a highlight reel of Huang Kaiwen’s dribbles, with Camoranesi appearing the most, since Juventus had encountered Milan in the Champions League previously.
"I’m not as good as the reporters say,"
Huang Kaiwen said with a laugh on TV, and some Japanese fans began to scream at the sight of his face.
Next was a montage of Huang Kaiwen’s goals.
All sorts of long runs and world-class goals, even non-soccer fans could sense Huang Kaiwen’s strength.
Subtitles began to appear at the bottom of the screen.
[The supreme king recognized by the soccer kingdom of Brazil, the conqueror of the Europa continent, the absolute leader of soccer superpowers AC Milan and Real Madrid, the pioneer of world charity, the glory of Asia—Kevin Huang!]
With the subtitles, an infographic of Huang Kaiwen’s abilities appeared, showing him as a perfect hexagon!
"An insurmountable peak in front of Barça, the strongest player from the ancient empire, playing for their rivals. When Kevin was injured, they saw a glimmer of hope.
Is it really that simple?"
The screen showed a photo of Huang Kaiwen with the new Avengers.
The subtitles appeared again [The King’s Five Royal Guards].
After Huang Kaiwen scored a goal, Ramos, who ran 60 meters, pulled Huang to the side of the field and roared at the camera. The image froze and subtitles appeared again, [Deft-footed Ramos].
"Whenever Kevin Huang scores, Ramos is always the first one there. In addition to celebrating, he also retaliates against anyone daring to infringe upon Kevin Huang,"
The screen continually showed images of Huang Kaiwen scoring and Ramos sprinting. Suddenly, the tone changed, cutting to a frame of Real Madrid and Valencia finishing a match with Ramos charging from the backfield to kick Navarro.
Ramos kicked the opponent several meters away, and the Japanese viewers watching the program all gasped.
Next appeared Cassano.
During an interview, Cassano said with a laugh, "I’m better looking than Beckham... I’m quite popular in Spain; so far I’ve dated hundreds of girls."
The screen froze again and subtitles appeared [Cassano, the thousand-women charmer].
"Once filled with promise, lost into womanizing, in Madrid he met Kevin Huang, the fallen genius from the Apennines finally found himself."
The TV showed Cassano crossing from the bottom line in the Champions League, helping Real Madrid knock out Bayern.
Then appeared the dashing Guti.
All the highlights were of Guti’s flamboyant passes.
Next were De Jong’s flying tackles, and images of Pepe hammering an opponent in the Madrid Derby.
Each man earned the nicknames [Deadly Inspiration], [European Lawnmower], and [Invincible Iron Fist] respectively.
The screen showed the last national derby where, after Huang Kaiwen scored, Messi looked at him from afar.
The narration picked up again.
"Even though he’s sought after by thousands of clubs, Barça’s new king, can only look up to Kevin Huang’s figure. With Kevin injured, they truly saw hope."
"Barça can only challenge the soccer myth after beating Kevin Huang and his Five Royal Guards."
"This match will not be easy, but for their king, Real Madrid players must give everything. Go forth, Five Royal Guards, protect the glory of your king with your lives. If you want to protect those important in your life, you must be prepared to sacrifice everything!"
