After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!-Chapter 763 - 0281 Paul is not a good bird (please subscribe)_4
"You can’t really say that, members of the European royalty receive elite education, and they generally outperform the average person."
"That’s just the advantage of their lineage, they still can’t match Huang Kaiwen in terms of talent."
"Damn, you make a lot of sense, Huang Kaiwen’s athletic talent is truly rare."
Turns out these kids are pretty insightful.
Huang Kaiwen closed his notebook and went to bed early.
There’s business to attend to tomorrow; it’s really not good for the lady to get injured.
Early the next day, after joining up with the executives from Raven E-Commerce and a few secretaries of the lady, the group bustled off to Times Square.
Huang Kaiwen was just there to show his face.
After a whole procedure, Raven E-Commerce was finally listed on NASDAQ.
Seeing those green numbers, you knew Raven E-Commerce was skyrocketing.
"Sell the stocks as soon as possible."
Huang Kaiwen said softly on the way back.
"I know, after the six-month period, I’ll try to sell as much as possible,"
Barbara nodded and said.
She didn’t even ask why, since if her Kevin said so, there definitely was a reason.
"Hmm, that’s good, make sure to do it quickly."
Huang Kaiwen nodded and said.
"I will remember that!"
The lady nodded earnestly.
The two of them then spent two days in New York, which was the limit.
Even if Huang Kaiwen wasn’t busy, the lady couldn’t stay in New York any longer.
Upon returning to Madrid, they just saw the news of the team losing to La Coruña.
Real Madrid battled the opponent at home for over 80 minutes, only to be defeated at the very end.
Well-rested, he went to the team the following day.
Huang Kaiwen had just entered the locker room.
Raul, changing his cleats, looked up with a smile and said, "Our billionaire is back."
"It’s not that exaggerated,"
Huang Kaiwen gestured and said, "Just a little richer than you guys."
"You’re back, that’s good; the past few days you weren’t here, everyone felt a bit unsteady, and the atmosphere in the locker room wasn’t as lively."
Raul said.
"Is it as serious as you say? Wouldn’t they still play if I got injured?"
Huang Kaiwen said, laughing as he patted Raul’s shoulder.
"It’s different when you’re not here, completely different,"
Raul said.
Huang Kaiwen suddenly remembered something.
That was the passive effect of the ’High Priest’, which required him to be "sidelined due to injury" for the team to boost its morale.
This time it was obviously Capello who kept him off the field temporarily, and he wasn’t actually "injured", so the source of the locker room atmosphere issues Raul mentioned was probably here.
Of course, there might be psychological factors as well.
Not to toot his own horn, but Huang Kaiwen sitting there really could give his teammates confidence.
Huang Kaiwen patted Raul’s shoulder and said, "I’m back now, don’t worry."
"That’s the best!"
Raul said, looking worried.
After returning to the team training, Huang Kaiwen didn’t receive more requests to accompany others on a tour of Real Madrid’s trophy room.
Still, Capello let Huang Kaiwen do the lightest training.
Before the game against Valencia, Huang Kaiwen found Capello.
"Coach, can I start in the upcoming match?"
Huang Kaiwen asked straightforwardly.
Capello smiled, handed Huang Kaiwen a bottle of mineral water, and let him sit on the sofa before saying, "It’s hard to say such things, just go home for now, I’ll think about it."
"Well, okay then."
Huang Kaiwen nodded and said.
After all, the coach had been very good to him.
After Huang Kaiwen left the office, Capello took some divination blocks out of the drawer and held them in his hand.
"Disciple Capello Fabio, born on the nineteenth of May in the year of Bingxu, today asks Elder Taiqing if the player Huang Kaiwen can play against Valencia without getting injured."
After saying his name, birthdate, and the issue at hand, Capello cast the blocks.
Seeing both were the negative cups, Capello sighed, took the blocks back in his hand, and cast them again.
Still negative cups.
While it’s conventional to cast three times.
Capello didn’t plan to cast a third time; one must always leave room for maneuver.
He took out tomorrow’s starting lineup, crossed off Huang Kaiwen’s name from the substitute list with a pen.
...
In the match against Valencia, Huang Kaiwen sat in the stands for the entire game.
Real Madrid was behind nearly the whole game, and the fans were chanting Huang Kaiwen’s name throughout.
At the last minute, Higuain came on as a substitute for Raul and scored the equalizing goal, preventing Real Madrid from suffering two consecutive home defeats.
At the post-match press conference, reporters grilled Capello.
"Why wasn’t Kevin in the squad list, is he injured?"
"In the next away game against Sevilla, will Kevin continue to sit in the stands?"
"Cruyff praised Bojan, saying he could become the next Kevin, do you think that’s possible, Mr. Capello?"
"Real Madrid is struggling to win lately, is there a problem with your tactics?"
Capello adjusted his glasses with his middle finger before speaking, "You are entitled to make any guess, but time will tell. I don’t want to comment on other teams’ affairs, and all I can tell you is Kevin is fine, whether he’ll play next or not depends on Real Madrid’s strategic planning. That’s all for today’s conference."
Capello got up and left succinctly.
The reporters could only shout his name as they watched his retreating figure.
The Real Madrid team, which had fought hard for the draw, gathered again at Huang Kaiwen’s house.
"It seems we are indeed ’Kevin and his teammates’."
Guti sighed with a wine glass in hand.
Winning against strong opponents without Huang Kaiwen on the field was challenging.
"Don’t be so down on yourself,"
Cassano said with a smile, "At least you’re still one of Real Madrid’s New Five Eagles! The rest of us don’t even have a nickname."
Clearly, he was quite pleased with such a moniker.
"Now that Kevin is back, no need to worry so much,"
Raul said, smiling.
"So, it’s still ’Kevin and his teammates’."
