After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!

"Since Kevin has spoken, he must have his reasons. If you can’t figure out what those reasons are, you should think more instead of asking me. Everyone’s level of understanding is different. I find it reasonable, and you find it unreasonable; shouldn’t you reflect on yourself?"

Rakitic impatiently pushed the reporter aside and walked into the restaurant.

The explosive situation of the match between Milan and Udinese made the sports news all over Europe.

Serie A’s momentum has clearly risen this transfer window, and people from other European countries, especially the British, love to watch the Italians’ uproar.

Milan players were harassed by the media during their breaks.

Only one player, who didn’t play, managed to steal the spotlight from that match.

"What should I do now?"

Inzaghi slumped on Huang Kaiwen’s sofa, staring blankly at the sky.

His Holy Roman Empire was exposed.

Italians didn’t react too much since dual nationality is allowed here.

But fans and journalists are very interested in Inzaghi’s country. Some even demanded online that he declare war on Ethiopia soon, and some Milan fans of 20 years hoped he could grant them a piece of land, not in Africa, but in Italy.

Inzaghi is now thoroughly annoyed.

Kaka chuckled and said, "Didn’t you foresee this outcome?"

"Why don’t you announce that the Holy Roman Empire is surrendering to Egypt or Sudan?"

Ramos suggested.

"No way!"

Inzaghi slapped the armrest and shouted, "Even if we fight to the last person, we won’t surrender. Of course, we’re not ready for war either."

"My opinion is not to bother about what others think; you weren’t like this before."

Huang Kaiwen said.

Inzaghi, although he sometimes liked the limelight, it was all about his performance on the field. He never revealed private matters, so even though he likes to play, there’s little news about him in this regard.

Besides, Inzaghi usually handles things well; he’s an experienced old player, and no one has ever leaked news about him similar to Rooney’s.

No one expected Inzaghi to be troubled by such things.

"You don’t understand; I’m not just one person anymore!"

Inzaghi said, pressing his hands against his forehead, agitated.

"Do you have a girlfriend, or a boyfriend?"

Ramos pressed on.

"Get lost!" Inzaghi snapped irritably, "I mean that my actions represent the Holy Roman Empire, you know, and Antonio is the vice emperor, so I’m not alone."

"Don’t think too much about it."

Huang Kaiwen patted Inzaghi’s shoulder and said, "Actually, as a public figure, you should consider your image. But then again, since you don’t really have an image, you don’t need to worry about it now. You don’t have to be defined; understand? Please yourself, not others, and you don’t have to live for others’ opinions."

"Is that so? Then why do you always pay attention to your image in front of the camera?"

Inzaghi asked suspiciously.

Huang Kaiwen explained, "People are different, I like the admiration of the younger generation, I want to earn more money, so besides achievements, I have to have more selling points."

"So you’re saying that as long as you can set a trend, whether it’s good or bad, it can all make money?"

Inzaghi asked.

"You’re not wrong," Ramos answered quickly, "Promote individuality; there’s always someone who’ll like punk, dark, whatever kind of chaos. But as an athlete, your personal level and performance are fundamental. Without achievements, hyping things can only keep you in the spotlight for a short while."

Huang Kaiwen gave a thumbs-up.

Good old friend Ramos, no wonder he’s about to be a master’s degree holder, his analysis is spot on.

Personality and hobbies can only embellish public figures like celebrities and athletes; fundamentally, it’s still about your professional ability. Even if Huang Ball King slaps an opponent’s face during a match, the media can interpret it as encouragement.

If Bebe did the same, the opponent would probably punch him.

Why did Ibrahimovic’s boasting become more charming later on? Because during crucial moments in the league, he could truly perform, scoring goals even at an older age.

If it were Morata from the same period, the effect would be entirely different.

"So I should just keep doing what I want and not care about others’ opinions?"

Inzaghi asked.

"Of course." Huang Kaiwen nodded and said, "What you’re doing doesn’t hurt anyone, and since you don’t want anything from the media, you naturally don’t have to satisfy their curiosity."

This old Inzaghi usually seems laid-back.

Getting praised by the media seems to be a bit beyond his endurance.

"That’s good; I thought there was some problem."

Inzaghi sighed with relief and said.

"Relax, there won’t be any problem, as long as you and Antonio don’t cause any trouble."

Huang Kaiwen said.

"You never can tell with that guy."

Ramos commented.

He and Cassano would compete upon meeting, even racing on who finishes their meal faster.

"By the way, Antonio said he’s prepared a screenplay and plans to shoot it to celebrate the birth of the Holy Roman Empire."

Inzaghi said.

"What kind of film, about history?"

Kaka asked curiously.

He’s always been interested in history.

"I don’t know either; it seems like it’s just an interpretation of why our country is the legitimate Holy Roman Empire, and he’s reportedly preparing to consult experts."

Inzaghi said with a smile.

Huang Kaiwen:...

Chances are someone will be looking for trouble with Inzaghi in a while.

During a previous event, Huang Kaiwen met the Archduke of Austria, and the Prince of Hungary, Bohemia, and Croatia, Edward von Habsburg.
