“Milan Sports Newspaper” soon disclosed Barbara’s itinerary: “Barbara has set out in search of a wizard to break Inter Milan’s curse, and results are expected soon.”
However, “Il Futuro,” the most important member of the Italian Catholic Press Association, issued a severe statement: “Since the Ancient Greek Olympic Games of 776 BC, sports have developed over 2780 years, and soccer is the world’s most popular sport.
The display of passion and competition on the green fields is humanity’s pursuit of beauty.
In light of this, we emphasize that any artificial intervention is inappropriate.
For pagans to target a soccer player with filthy means is barbaric, unacceptable, detestable, and sacrilegious, and if not promptly rectified and corrected, all involved will be punished.”
They didn’t care about the truth; showing their presence at such times was a good thing.
Following the two Industrial Revolutions, the Vatican’s position in Europe became increasingly awkward, from previously interfering with the rise and fall of dynasties and kings’ successions, to later being reduced to a mascot, trotted out by politicians when needed, and completely ignored when not.
They have long wanted to find some relevance.
The incident of a player being cursed was a perfect entry point.
And by not letting high-ranking individuals come forward to make a statement, they also left themselves an escape route.
Otherwise, how would they conclude the event if they dragged out a cardinal and failed to break Huang Kaiwen’s “curse”?
This statement also led Italy and the whole of Europe to acknowledge the situation.
Huang Kaiwen never expected things to develop like this.
Here in Europe, these mystical things really do have a market, if someone were to bring over some kind of religion from the “little sticks” or find a few to develop a pyramid scheme, maybe they could really trick a lot of people.
On October 3rd, AC Milan played at home against Regina.
Huang Kaiwen was placed on the bench.
Ancelotti had no confidence whether Huang Kaiwen would get injured again.
Now that it involved theology, a football coach like him couldn’t manage that.
Ancelotti planned to wait until the game was well under way before letting Huang Kaiwen take the field to try.
Not long after the game started, Kaka made a long run towards the opposite end and then passed a through ball, with Shevchenko successfully breaking the offside trap and effortlessly slotting home.
Then the game seemed intense, Milan had many chances but couldn’t breach the opponent’s goal again.
In the 67th minute of the second half, Shevchenko returned the favor to Kaka with a back pass, and Kaka scored a world-class long shot, altering the score once again.
Ancelotti looked at Huang Kaiwen, hesitated for a long time before saying, “Kevin, Filippo, warm up.”
Huang Kaiwen, looking at his 100 expectation value, decided to draw a card.
[Ding, you have obtained a one-time experience card for the 1989-1990 season, Atalanta vs Juventus, Caniggia’s single match]
Wow,
Huang Kaiwen couldn’t believe his luck.
Isn’t Caniggia that “Son of the Wind,” Maradona’s good partner?
But he didn’t forget to warm up either.
Just as Huang Kaiwen was taking off his jacket to get up, Ancelotti stopped him.
The Milan coach mysteriously took out a necklace from his pocket, with a crucifix hanging on it, and handing it over he said, “A little gift, it’s said to be a Holy Artifact, I hope you’ll be safe today.”
“Thank you.”
Huang Kaiwen took it wordlessly, hung it around his neck, and then tucked it inside his jersey.
The fourth official pretended not to see it.
The poor guy was already cursed, how could they not let him wear a crucifix, where’s the humanity in that?
Normally, accessories are not allowed in football matches, but Huang Kaiwen’s situation was so unusual that the fourth official feared to stop him from wearing the necklace onto the pitch, then have it exposed if Huang Kaiwen were to get injured.
The consequences would be very serious, and it seemed better to turn a blind eye than to create trouble over it.
Huang Kaiwen felt the two necklaces hanging around his neck and grimaced.
After all, he had been wearing the lucky white tiger tooth already, so wearing one more was no issue, and Ancelotti had good intentions.
“Oh, Kevin and Inzaghi are getting ready to go on, and Kevin, this talented player, seems unfazed by the curse, truly brave!”
The fans at San Siro Stadium also gave a warm applause, continuously shouting Huang Kaiwen’s name.
Rui Costa hugged Huang Kaiwen, then patted him on the back without saying much.
In a fitting moment, Huang Kaiwen bowed to touch the grass, and after standing up, he made the sign of the cross over his chest.
Now there was another round of applause.
In Europe, having no religious beliefs is scarier than being a criminal, so in their eyes, someone without reverence is unthinkable, whereas devout individuals are always more beloved, as could be seen with Kaka.
Many female Milan fans had already started to cry.
How could hateful Inter Milan push their poor Kevin to such a state?
Although the current Kevin looked okay, they preferred the boy who showed off his spirit as he juggled the ball at San Siro for the first time.
After high-fiving Kaka, Huang Kaiwen quickly ran to the right flank.
Today, Gattuso was on the left side.
The match restarted, and Pirlo sent the ball from the backfield.
Cafu, on the right, took the ball forward, and after facing a challenge, he immediately lifted a pass to Huang Kaiwen’s feet.
Huang Kaiwen felt great.
[Caniggia] was originally a winger known for his speed.
Upon receiving the ball, he began a high-speed breakthrough along the sideline, feeling the advertisement boards swiftly receding.
Even Kaka, who was paying close attention to the right wing, was surprised by the speed that Huang Kaiwen exhibited.
“Incredible speed!
Kevin is so fast—I think he could run 10.5 seconds, no, maybe even 10 seconds.
Now I understand why Ancelotti, after just seeing Kevin burst onto the field and kick the ball a few times, decided to sign him up.
No head coach would refuse such a player,” exclaimed the Italian commentator.
The Regina defender Zamboni was flustered.
Today the team was playing a 352 formation with just three of them in defense.
Zamboni couldn’t ignore Huang Kaiwen’s breakthrough.
But by the time he covered the right flank and tried to use his body to stop Huang Kaiwen, he found that Huang Kaiwen was unyielding, pushing the ball forward forcefully, launching it several meters ahead.
Huang Kaiwen then sped up, rounding Zamboni at the sideline.
When he touched the ball again, he had left Zamboni behind and gained even more distance, still outpacing the opposition.
Huang Kaiwen’s ferocious speed kept the Milan fans cheering wildly.
“It’s like he passed the ball to himself three seconds in the future!”
The Italian commentator couldn’t help but exclaim.
So fast!
It wasn’t evident just before, but Huang Kaiwen’s play now, where he split from the ball and circled around the outside of the sideline, was very apparent, completely overpowering the opposition with his speed and explosive power.
