Leaving Real Madrid has a significant reason: the doctors were too harsh.
Otherwise, Huang Kaiwen wouldn’t want to go back to Milan for minor injuries.
Even if the Yellow Ball King has immense talent, he wouldn’t survive if his life were toyed with.
Van der Vaart made his debut at Bernabeu, and fans found an outlet for their rage.
Van der Vaart’s debut ceremony attracted over forty thousand fans to Bernabeu.
Unfortunately, they weren’t there to welcome the new player.
Fans were chanting all kinds of slogans.
They let Van der Vaart experience how picky the fans of the 20th-century best club are.
They just wanted to vent their dissatisfaction.
Florentino is still quite capable, letting Van der Vaart take the hit.
At the same time, he used Calderon’s scandal to divert fans’ attention and avoid being ousted immediately.
As The Sun newspaper exposed more details, most Real Madrid fans accepted the current situation.
The matter has become a foregone conclusion.
They couldn’t let the team fall into chaos before the season even started.
Especially with Xabi Alonso’s joining, they saw some hope.
Local stars are more popular among fans.
Xabi Alonso, Lampard, and Gago in midfield also look pretty good.
Veterans have experience, and young players have talent.
Some fans have already urged Florentino to quickly bring in defenders.
They didn’t want to see Torres and Marcelo as the main players on the two wings.
Florentino used De Jong plus 25 million euros to get Xabi Alonso from Liverpool.
Florentino is now very interested in sending players to the Premier League.
Serie A’s recruitment has gradually fallen into decline, except for the Three Northern Giants; other teams’ recruitment expenses are decreasing.
Apart from the BIG4, some other teams in the Premier League also have good purchasing power.
The most crucial thing is that there are quite a few players in the Premier League that interest him, and the player plus cash model can clean out players and inflate transfer fees.
This time, De Jong’s valuation was 35 million euros, which was written into the contract.
Although De Jong’s market value on Transfermarkt was only 18 million euros.
This "60 million euros" level recruitment still attracted the attention of European football.
Xabi Alonso was the most expensive midfield player of the summer transfers, and his strength also had enough guarantee.
Some newspapers and sports programs also believed that in the post-Kaiwen era, Real Madrid’s performance wouldn’t be too poor.
August 24th, Chelsea scored a last-minute winner against Wigan Athletic.
Mourinho said in an interview: "This is just the pain during the adaptation period, Chelsea will soon show enough attacking power."
After the closing ceremony, Huang Kaiwen returned to London but didn’t go to team training temporarily.
Ramos reported to Huang Kaiwen’s house every day after training.
He’s currently temporarily living in a hotel.
Ramos and Huang Kaiwen waited to watch the UEFA Champions League group stage draw.
The big sister and Lily weren’t there, so Ramos temporarily stayed here.
When there’s time, they’ll look together and help Ramos choose a property.
Buying a house in London is more reliable for Ramos than investing on his own.
"Will we draw Real Madrid?"
Ramos asked excitedly, rubbing his hands.
Huang Kaiwen shook his head.
Who knows how the draw will go.
Honestly, there are quite a few strong teams in the second tier.
The eight teams in the second tier are Chelsea, Juventus, Porto, Lyon, Inter Milan, Werder Bremen, Atletico Madrid, and Villarreal.
Any of these teams could likely top the group and advance.
London time six o’clock, which is seven o’clock Switzerland time.
Huang Kaiwen and Ramos sat at the dining table watching the draw.
Milan was in Group B, Real Madrid was in Group H.
Next came the second-tier teams’ draw, Werder Bremen was drawn into Group B, Inter Milan and Barca into Group C, Juventus faced Bayern in Group F, Chelsea hadn’t appeared for a while.
Real Madrid’s opponent would come out between Porto and Chelsea.
But Huang Kaiwen already had a strong premonition that Chelsea and Real Madrid would be in the same group.
Arsenal in Group G drew Porto, leaving Chelsea to be placed in Real Madrid’s Group H.
Ramos excitedly said: "That old guy couldn’t have expected such a result."
Huang Kaiwen smiled and nodded.
Next, the Yellow Ball King would return to Bernabeu, letting the Meringues relive Mr. Huang’s splendor.
Group B’s remaining two teams were Anorthosis and Sporting Lisbon, while Group H’s last two teams were Zenit Saint Petersburg and Panathinaikos.
The third and fourth-tier teams’ strength isn’t too strong nor too weak; more than their strength, what’s more troubling is flying to Russia to play away games in the big winter.
European giants generally dislike playing away games in Russia and Turkey.
Russia because of the weather, and Turkey because visiting players and fans often encounter violence; every time there’s a Turkish away game, visiting teams always advise fans not to watch the game on-site.
Huang Kaiwen was also almost rested.
The next morning, he went to team training with Ramos.
Part of the Cobham Training Centre was still under construction; Abramovich’s investment in Chelsea doesn’t need much explanation. Compared to Glazer, who never repairs the stadium and upgrades training facilities, Abramovich can be considered one of the best bosses in football.
After Ramos parked, they went to the locker room to change gear.
The first person they saw happened to be Mata.
He was sold to Chelsea by the big sister for 15 million euros.
Mata greeted with a smile.
