"Hehe, look, the AC Milan players are all greeting Huang Kaiwen, he’s almost too busy to keep up!"
"Kevin, did you see ’The Sun’s’ report?"
Inzaghi ran to the back of the team and asked, turning his head.
"That damn gossip rag ranked your best friends, I can’t believe I’m only in third place!"
Inzaghi said with dissatisfaction.
"I also think there’s something wrong with their rankings."
How could he not have a rank at all?
"Don’t mind those, who’s second and first?"
"Second is Ramos, and first is Ricardo!"
Huang Kaiwen nodded and said, "Actually, you guys shouldn’t worry about such things. Love or friendship can’t be quantified. It’s best to laugh at these rankings and not take them seriously. If you do, the editors at ’The Sun’ will be thrilled."
In Europe, the big corporations are the least afraid of lawsuits.
Suing a corporation as a star can be an effort with little return, even if you win you only get a minor compensation, plus it takes a lot of time and distracts from the game, while the gossip papers easily earn back the settlement money with the publicity of being the defendant.
If you perform poorly, they can also write up a piece about your downfall being linked to some woman and if you want to sue again, they’ll welcome it with open arms.
So unless absolutely necessary, no one really wants to sue media conglomerates.
"I know, so tell me, who is your best friend then?"
The Yellow Ball King felt all his words had been for naught.
"Don’t bother with Filippo, he’s been saying the same thing all day."
Kaka turned and said with a smile.
"That’s what I thought too."
Huang Kaiwen nodded and asked, "Have you thought about when you’re going to get married?"
"No, but when I’ve decided for sure, I’ll tell you. Then you can be my best man!"
Kaka said, scratching the back of his head.
"Stop chatting, the referees are calling us to go out."
Inzaghi reminded them, pouting.
Huang Kaiwen said, "Good luck, Ricardo."
The coaching staff went out to the field with the players, Franco Baldini and Ancelotti shaking hands.
Ancelotti said amiably, "Good luck today, I think you have much more promise than Capello."
"I’m far from it, stop saying that." Baldini quickly said, shaking his head.
Ancelotti patted Baldini’s hand and the two parted ways.
Ancelotti returned to the bench.
Tassotti and Professor Carimi quickly stood up to help Ancelotti set up the receiving device.
The sixth machine was miniaturized, but to receive more Willpower, the receiving device was still necessary.
Ancelotti said, "Professor and his student can handle it, go find my notes, make some precautions, Capello that bastard is most fond of underhanded tactics, he’s in the stand today so it’s hard for us to guard against."
Tassotti nodded, took out the notes and materials from the backpack, and set up at the side of the field.
Franco Baldini, looking at the busy Milan bench, couldn’t help asking, "What is the Cardinal doing? Are we just going to watch?"
If they took action, it would feel like their spirits were dampened if they did nothing.
Physical coach Massimo Neri consoled him, "Don’t worry, His Eminence the Cardinal definitely won’t miss such an event. Last time he brought out the Holy Relic Box, this time he should also have something powerful."
"Something powerful? What could be more powerful than the Holy Relic Box?"
As the two were talking, Cardinal Asier Laty finally made his entrance.
Guarded by the Swiss Guard, Cardinal Asier Laty held a plate that contained a glass case, inside which was a yellowed wide cloth.
This relic was known throughout the Christian World. It was the Shroud of Turin preserved in the Turin Chapel, displayed only four times a year, with the highest level of security for each showing!
The noisy San Siro Stadium fell silent for a moment.
Baldini’s eyes widened.
The Cardinal really was going big. At this rate, they might as well bring a cross to the UEFA Champions League finals!
Baldini shook his head and quickly approached to say, "Thank you for your aid, Your Eminence Asier Laty."
"No problem, for today’s game, I’m only here to ensure that no heathens cause trouble."
Asier Laty said with a radiant smile.
He wasn’t there specifically to support Real Madrid.
Kevin was considered a living miracle, Kaka was a devout believer.
No matter who won or lost, the Vatican had already triumphed!
Since he had teamed up with Ancelotti, his reputation had grown a lot.
This meant he had chosen the right path; as long as he continued to associate himself with football, Asier Laty believed that he would eventually take charge of St. Peter’s Basilica.
"After a brief exchange, the players of both teams stood by the referees lined up, and the highly anticipated match was about to ignite."
"Yes, let’s look at the starting lineup for both teams, this match is arguably the strongest clash in current world football."
