Huang Kaiwen said with a smile, "You tell them in English that you are from the United States, and if they’ve offended you, act a bit arrogant. Those who show disdain or no reaction are my compatriots."
"So how do you distinguish between Japanese and Koreans?"
Cassano asked curiously.
Everyone perked up their ears to listen.
"The ones who keep bowing and apologizing are Japanese. If you throw your lunch meat or snacks, those who catch and run are Koreans."
The Milan star who stayed in Madrid became a spectator.
He joined the Real Madrid fans on the streets of Madrid to watch the championship parade.
Almudena Cathedral, Community of Madrid government, the city hall, and finally Plaza de la Cibeles.
Raul, wearing the team flag, put a Real Madrid scarf on the Cibeles Goddess and passionately kissed her.
After returning home.
The young lady played the goddess Hestia, and Lily became Demeter, the harvest goddess. Huang Kaiwen’s understanding of the Greek gods deepened.
Fortunately, their house was well soundproofed, otherwise the teammates staying over would have suffered.
Huang Kaiwen was awakened early by the young lady to get ready.
Today was the Laureus Award ceremony day.
The ceremony was in the evening, but the young lady had him up early.
When he came downstairs,
Inzaghi, groggy, was sitting at the dining table.
Maldini waved and said, "Seeing you guys weren’t up yet, Adriana went to prepare breakfast."
"I’m really embarrassed; to have a guest prepare breakfast, what is Albert doing?"
Letting a guest prepare breakfast was really impolite.
"No trouble, I can handle it," Adriana turned and said.
Huang Kaiwen, still sleepy, sat down at the dining table.
Seeing Inzaghi also forced to get up, he felt somewhat better.
The 2007 Laureus Award honored those who performed outstandingly from January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2006.
Maldini and his team stayed in Spain to attend this ceremony held in Barcelona.
Which team would win the team award in a World Cup year was no mystery at all.
"Eat up, gentlemen, you need to prepare your acceptance speeches, and then I’m off," Adriana said as she set coffee and buttered bread in front of them.
"Do you think you can win a Laureus Award?"
Inzaghi, with his hair tousled, asked as he sipped his coffee.
"How would I know? No soccer player has ever won the best male athlete, right?"
Inzaghi nodded and said, "Actually, I think you should have won the Laureus Award last year. No other player in your position has led their team to win the UEFA Champions League."
Maldini nodded in agreement.
"Maybe they thought Federer was better."
Huang Kaiwen, not wanting to talk about last year, asked, "What about Gennaro, haven’t seen him and his wife?"
"They went to Barcelona early this morning with their children, and they’ll have lunch with the national team before attending the ceremony," Maldini replied.
"And Sergio and Antonio?"
It was odd not seeing his good friend Ramos.
"When we got up, they had just finished gaming and went to sleep," Inzaghi said.
They could just leave those two to house sit, no worries with Ramos there, especially keeping an eye on Cassano.
After the young lady and Lily came down with makeup done, they had breakfast together.
After breakfast, Huang Kaiwen was pulled away to try on clothes.
After changing into more than ten different suits and countless accessories like cufflinks, the ladies finally nodded in satisfaction.
Following a flight of just over an hour, he arrived in Barcelona.
Quickly, he proceeded to the award ceremony venue.
Huang Kaiwen saw many familiar faces.
This time, the nominees for Best Male Athlete included Yellow Ball King, F1’s Alonso, tennis titan Federer, Jamaica’s sprinter Powell, old Schumacher, and Woods.
Apart from Yellow Ball King, not one was a soccer player.
Huang Kaiwen was curious if he could intercept other sports athletes and what award he could win if he did.
