Chapter 2025 - 528: Brazil Emperor Falcao
Three days later, Milan won 5-1 against Parma.
The goal frenzy hasn’t stopped.
Even the "Corriere dello Sport" doesn’t have faith in Rome’s prospects.
They pessimistically believe that if Rome concedes less than five goals, it’s a victory.
October 29th.
Stadio Olimpico Rome.
Huang Kaiwen and Guardiola sat together on the stage.
Gasperini sat next to Totti.
As soon as they sat down, the reporters couldn’t wait to start asking questions.
"Pep, will Kevin be in the starting lineup today?"
"Francesco, will your main focus today be on defense?"
"Francesco, did Ranieri get dismissed because of conflicts with you?"
"Kevin, there’s news that you privately communicated with Messi, and he might terminate his contract in winter to join AC Milan. Is this true?"
"Pep, do you think Messi can adapt to AC Milan?"
Huang Kaiwen and Guardiola were quite shocked.
As the team’s coach, Guardiola naturally knew about Messi’s potential winter transfer.
But now that it’s been exposed, they’ll both be in a passive situation.
Fortunately, neither of them showed any unusual expressions.
Guardiola laughed and said: "Messi is a genius, and a genius can adapt to any team, including Milan, of course. If he comes, the entire Milan team and I will welcome him."
Huang Kaiwen kept thinking.
He immediately figured out who leaked the information.
This must be Rosell’s doing.
After all, that guy directly sold Messi and needs to find some excuses for himself.
By releasing such news, they can later blame everything on the Yellow Ball King, Milan, and Messi.
None of these political players are good people.
Even though he was still at the press conference, Huang Kaiwen was already planning to create some trouble for Rosell.
"Kevin, Kevin."
Guardiola nudged Huang Kaiwen with his leg as a reminder: "The reporters are asking if you’ve communicated with Messi."
Huang Kaiwen calmly pulled the microphone closer and said: "I have friendships with many players, and we often call each other. Not just Messi, but also Robben, Sneijder, Terry, De Jong... I can list many names, but the Milan First Team can’t accommodate so many players."
"Do you hope Messi will play for AC Milan?"
The reporter asked further.
"Of course."
Huang Kaiwen nodded and said: "No team would refuse a player like Messi, maybe only the Catalans like to blame him for their losses."
This was Huang Kaiwen’s plan.
Since Rosell didn’t play fair, Mr. Huang wasn’t going to hold back either.
Boom—
The reporters went wild hearing this.
Completely forgetting it was a pre-match press conference for Rome and Milan.
They eagerly held up their recorders, asking questions relentlessly.
"Why would you say that?"
"Did you hear something from Messi?"
"Will Messi play for AC Milan?"
"Do you think Messi can adapt to life in Milan?"
Huang Kaiwen waved his hand, saying: "It’s not about what Messi told me, but what I’ve seen. Just look carefully at the ’World Sports News,’ every time Barca doesn’t win, Messi is blamed, even if he scores. I never knew not winning was a player’s responsibility. Is Messi the name of a team? Is he eleven players?"
Guardiola immediately chimed in: "Yes, sometimes Messi indeed bears responsibilities that don’t belong to him."
With that, Guardiola stood up.
Huang Kaiwen followed suit.
As they walked towards the locker room, Guardiola said: "You shouldn’t have directly fired shots at Barca."
"I had no choice."
Huang Kaiwen said: "If I don’t speak out now, during the transfer we would all be labeled as thieves stealing Barca’s players."
Guardiola remained silent for two seconds.
In his heart, he agreed with Huang Kaiwen’s perspective.
Whether it’s Laporta or Rosell, they are both skilled at evading responsibility.
"I’ll make a few calls later, and then go warm up, Coach."
Huang Kaiwen said.
"Okay, I got it."
Guardiola didn’t question what Huang Kaiwen intended to do.
He already had some guesses in his mind.
The two pushed the door and entered the locker room. Nesta immediately stood up and said: "Let’s wait for our captain and coach to change and then head out to warm up."
"You guys go ahead, I have something to tend to."
Huang Kaiwen waved them off with a smile.
Hearing this, the Milan players got up to leave.
Ramos and the others cast worried glances at him.
Huang Kaiwen returned their glances with a smile.
Once Guardiola left as well, he took out his phone and made a call, saying: "Albert, there are some articles about Barca in my study, where they instructed reporters to smear Ronaldo and Messi during contract renewal periods by creating negative news. Have you seen them? Yes, regardless of whether it’s true or not, have the reporters modify and publish them, and fabricate some negative news about Rosell, including how he decided to sell Messi in the summer... Yes, it’s to create some trouble for him, to reduce Messi’s presence in the transfer saga. The deal was sealed between Rosell and Adriano, just like that."
Huang Kaiwen hung up the call before starting to change clothes.
There are many benefits to handling things this way.
The documents in his study are real since Barca did indeed have people smearing their own players.
When the UK journalists dig deeper, the truth will come out, and the whole world will see that the players were forced out of Barca.
Some of Rosell’s negative news might be fake.
But he did indeed pre-sell Messi.
