Huang Kaiwen wasn’t angry, he spread out one hand and said: "In our country, there’s a saying that if you plant an orange on different sides of the river, it will taste completely different. When Van Bommel was playing for Barca, he might have been required to foul due to tactical needs, but after joining Milan for more than a year, he hardly received any yellow cards, which proves that the problem isn’t with Van Bommel, but with a certain team."
Humph!
Enrico couldn’t think of a retort.
A reporter asked: "Today you initiated a fight with Xavi, several AC Milan players got physical, what exactly did Xavi say to you, why did you have to resort to violence, is that kind of action correct?"
"I was trying to calm my teammates down, but Xavi insulted my teammate, I can’t tolerate such things, everyone has relatives, and when you insult someone else’s family, you should be prepared to get beaten up."
Huang Kaiwen said.
"So you don’t regret your actions?"
The reporter pressed on.
"Yes, if it weren’t for the laws and morals restraining me, he might not have walked out of Camp Nou today."
Huang Kaiwen said with a cold smile.
Guardiola helplessly slapped his forehead, he didn’t want Huang Kaiwen to continue, he quickly said: "I’ve been coaching the team for more than a year, Milan is a very excellent team. Kevin is widely recognized globally, there are 2 billion or more people who like him and admire him in this world, which already proves a point. Toni Kroos and Kevin De Bruyne are both outstanding young men, they have great talent and are also compassionate, they make donations to help others even if the team doesn’t organize it. Although Ramos is a bit impulsive, he’s very studious, he’s a graduate student now, even on holidays he often appears near the university, and playing football still can’t stop his thirst for knowledge. What I want to say is, Milan players aren’t bad people."
Huang Kaiwen:...
Speechless.
Guardiola stole his lines.
Huang Kaiwen could only follow Guardiola and get up together.
As the two walked back, Guardiola persuaded: "If you show remorse today, the red card might be overturned."
"Let the red card be a red card, do I have to hypocritically say I regret hitting Xavi?"
Huang Kaiwen said indifferently.
Guardiola could only sigh and stop persuading.
Although Huang Kaiwen has a good temper, it’s rare for him to change his mind on something he’s decided on.
That match ended 50 minutes early.
Yet it caused a stir worldwide.
Even other matches that started at the same time got considerably less attention.
To avoid further incidents, the entire Milan team flew back to Milan City overnight.
Malpensa Airport.
As soon as the Milan players exited the security check, they felt the enthusiasm of the fans.
The players who received red cards got treated almost like heroes.
De Bruyne and Kroos, this unlucky duo, didn’t play much, their rank in the lineup wasn’t as high as those veteran players, even Pirlo, who had fallen out of favor, was ranked higher than them.
But this time, they received recognition from the fans.
Kroos excitedly waved at the fans, feeling that he had found the best way to integrate into the team.
Because of not much physical exertion, the return trip was relatively early.
After the whole team signed autographs for lucky fans, they got on the bus.
When Huang Kaiwen got home, it was already past midnight.
He found the lady and Lily asleep, he changed clothes and slept in the guest room.
The next day.
Huang Kaiwen got up and saw the thick newspapers on the table.
He curiously asked: "Where did you get these newspapers from other countries?"
"I know a young guy who runs errands professionally; he waits at the airport for newspapers brought by travelers, buys them, and brings them over, I pay him for it."
Albert said with a laugh.
Huang Kaiwen gave a thumbs up.
Like his good brother Ramos, who even went to the airport himself to buy them.
With the internet so developed, many contents can be seen on the newspaper’s website.
But Huang Kaiwen still preferred the feeling of reading a newspaper.
The front page of "The Sun newspaper" still belonged to Giggs, who went on a date with his sister-in-law the day after his daughter was born, and their story kept getting exposed, continuously capturing UK readers’ attention.
After such a long time, it’s still being reported, which shows that Giggs’ news is very helpful for sales.
Huang Kaiwen even saw in the corner that Cassano was dating an Italian girl named Caroline.
In the second edition, they listed the top ten unexpectedly terminated matches.
Aside from the Super Lig in 03/04, where Besiktas got five red cards, the rest were not similar to Milan’s situation.
For example, the Bernabeu previously experienced a terrorist attack, the Bremen vs. Schalke match had a blackout, the 2002 World Cup qualifier between Bahrain and Thailand had a stadium fire... The latest was just a few days ago, it was a Serie A match in early February, where Rome was playing in Bologna as an away game, the snow that day was too heavy, and the match had to be postponed to a later date.
Milan also experienced a blackout incident, in the 1990/91 UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg, Milan was playing against Marseille away, Milan was trailing 0:1 during the match, and after a blackout in the 88th minute, Milan refused to return to the match due to suspicions about the cause of the blackout, which resulted in a 0:3 loss and a one-year ban from European competitions for Milan.
"The Times" straightforwardly provided a lip-reading analysis of the match.
They wrote: "According to lip-reading experts, Xavi said: You two Spaniards acknowledged a foreign father, and at this moment, you indeed need father to stand up for you. Obviously, Xavi was referring to Kevin, he was mocking Ramos and Torres. Xavi’s provocation against Kevin was not the first time in a match, his behavior this time will cause a significant impact on the unity of the Spanish National Team. This is great news for the England national team, as Capello’s team will have one less strong opponent!"
