Reports were also competing to cover this UEFA Champions League final.
AC Milan has always been one of the most popular teams back home.
Add to that the factor of Huang Kaiwen.
Days before the final had even started, it was already looped on five channels with a subtitled preview, and some programs even had a special trailer before them.
Even those who don’t understand soccer enjoyed the highlights reel of Huang Kaiwen and Ronaldinho.
The forums were going crazy.
"Holy shit, was the pope really talking about Huang Kaiwen?"
"I want to know, too. My dad was just saying today that the kid Huang Kaiwen is pretty good; a Chinese guy getting praised by the pope made him tell me to learn more from him since we’re about the same age. I thought, you didn’t make me that handsome, where am I supposed to find a sugar mommy?"
"You think Huang Kaiwen just survives on his looks? Didn’t you see his sliding triple knee slide during the game? Huang Kaiwen’s real advantage is from top to bottom, damn, getting born really is a skill."
"Though I hate to admit it, Huang Kaiwen really doesn’t have much of a weakness."
"Relax, Huang Kaiwen starts with one goal, and three is also possible, the bigger the occasion, the more he likes to show off."
"Damn, Huang Kaiwen turning into the key player? I’m telling you, Huang Kaiwen will be invisible the whole final."
"You must be new to watching soccer, how could Huang Kaiwen possibly be invisible the entire match."
"Young, aren’t you, the one above? Adoring ’Huan Bro’, the talent from South University, one who declared that if Huang Kaiwen scored during the match, he would streak, and then when Huang Kaiwen scored, he never streaked."
"Holy shit, that’s hardcore, respect!"
On May 17, the day of the UEFA Champions League final.
The Milan bus was on its way to the Stade de France when a small incident occurred.
The local fans in Paris were overly enthusiastic, affecting the speed of Milan’s bus.
"Kaka, let that bastard child move away, she doesn’t deserve you!!!"
"Paul, I want to be your lover."
"Gennaro Gattuso, come and ravish me!"
The first few fans were at least somewhat normal.
The last one calling out to Gattuso was a muscular giant.
All the players on the bus were suppressing their laughter.
Eventually, someone couldn’t hold it in anymore.
A burst of laughter erupted on the bus.
Local police were not very efficient.
It took about 45 minutes before Milan’s bus finally reached Stade de France.
Fortunately, they had left the hotel early.
Otherwise, Milan wouldn’t even have had time to warm up today.
Ancelotti, along with the equipment manager, entered the locker room and said, "Today everyone has special new shoes, Kevin, has your mask arrived?"
This was strongly demanded by Ancelotti.
The miss didn’t want him to get injured in Champions League final either, so she also requested he continue wearing the mask.
I must say, the new mask looked pretty good.
Taking advantage of his teammates not noticing.
Huang Kaiwen pulled out a scratch card and saw the 300,000 pattern, second prize!
Huang Kaiwen just remembered he had previously intercepted Inter Milan’s championship.
[Ding, intercepted Inter Milan player Sannetti’s Serie A championship]
[Ding, intercepted Inter Milan player Cambiasso’s Serie A championship]
[Ding, intercepted Inter Milan player Adriano’s Serie A championship]
[Ding, intercepted Inter Milan player Martins’s only significant championship, skill activation successful, copied traits]
[Ding, intercepted Inter Milan player Zemaria’s only significant championship, skill activation successful, copied traits]
Trait: Zema Pass (Zemaria)—Improves the accuracy of right-footed crosses from the right wing.
Trait: Spin Jump I Close My Eyes (Martins)—The success rate of backflip celebrations significantly increases, backflips more likely to ignite fan emotions, slight increase in flexibility and explosiveness.
Huang Kaiwen was somewhat speechless.
He had hoped to intercept Adriano.
It seemed, however, that it was easier to intercept players with fewer honors.
But it was still okay.
At least there were no negative traits.
Huang Kaiwen was quite satisfied.
Looking at his full 100 [Anticipation], Huang Kaiwen chose to draw a prize.
[Ding, obtained the 2012-2013 Premier League Round 10, Manchester United vs Arsenal, Robin van Persie single-match experience card]
Huang Kaiwen was stunned.
He had once quoted a famous saying from the opposite side.
He hadn’t expected to actually draw [Van Persie] today.
And it was peak [Van Persie].
Huang Kaiwen felt that peak [Van Persie], even as a grand prize, wouldn’t be too much.
Peak [Van Persie] could even compete for the title of the world’s third-best at that time.
Coming from a winger background, [Van Persie] had virtually no weaknesses in skill, and his shooting was incredibly powerful, with top-notch abilities in forceful shots and instant shooting.
Van Persie also had a story with Barcelona.
Perfect, since Cruyff used to say Dutchmen are the key in finals, right?
