On October 7th, during the Italian Super Cup replay against Lazio, Huang Kaiwen played for 13 minutes and assisted Shevchenko before getting injured, but Milan still lifted the cup with a 3:0 victory.
Fortunately, it was just a dislocated shoulder this time, which would heal after a few days.
The next day’s Milan Sports Newspaper actually published a piece of news that shocked Huang Kaiwen.
It was that someone had declared responsibility for his injury.
“A Nigerian wizard named Donalba claimed that Inter Milan’s transfer director gave him 100,000 Euros to curse Milan’s talented player Kevin.
During the interview, he even showed us the ‘curse doll’ of Kevin.
Kevin’s frequent injuries were entirely due to this curse doll.
Donalba also announced that he can’t give up now because he is a professional wizard with work ethics.
His fee is 20,000 Euros per year, and Inter Milan directly signed him for 5 years!”
Seeing the photo of the straw doll on the newspaper, Huang Kaiwen almost believed it.
Huang Kaiwen put down the paper and instantly understood the other party’s intentions.
It was just a publicity stunt.
Capitalizing on the hype and then swindling people to give them money.
It had taken so long for a “wizard” claiming responsibility to pop up that Huang Kaiwen found it strange.
The minds of Africans do work a little more slowly, he thought.
In the study, he drew the blinds halfway and sat at his desk against the light.
Feeling good about his setup, he pressed the bell, and the butler appeared immediately.
“Master.”
The loyal butler Albert bowed slightly in greeting.
“Albert, go to the Milan Sports Newspaper and ask them to offer a reward of 1 million Euros on my behalf.
Whoever can lift the curse, ensuring that I will not be troubled by frequent injuries for six months, will be able to claim the money,” he instructed.
“Certainly, Master.”
Albert bowed once more and left the study.
Huang Kaiwen stroked his chin, feeling that things were getting more interesting.
1 million Euros would surely tempt many people.
But his injury rate was regulated by the system; those demons and monsters, no matter how hard they tried, were helpless.
Huang Kaiwen wanted to see how they would explain themselves in the end.
Realizing he hadn’t seen the young lady for several days, Huang Kaiwen made a phone call to Barbara.
“Darling?
I heard you got hurt, how are you feeling?” the young lady asked with concern from the other end of the phone.
“I’m fine, nothing serious.
I’ll be able to play the next game.
How about you, where are you?” Huang Kaiwen asked softly.
Barbara was a bit stubborn but great with him.
The last time they talked she was in Ethiopia.
“I’m in the Congo, there’s a really powerful wizard here.
Don’t worry, I’ve brought plenty of bodyguards, there won’t be any problems,” she reassured.
“That’s good.
Be careful when you go out in Africa, and it’s best not to eat any strange food.
Drink bottled water, as infectious diseases are quite severe there,” he advised.
“Alright, I got it!” she said, her laughter sweet.
Hearing Huang Kaiwen’s care, even the hot African weather seemed to drop a few degrees.
She instructed over the phone, “Make sure you eat on time when I’m not there.
If you don’t want to cook, just have food delivered from a restaurant.”
“Mm, alright.”
After chatting for half an hour, the young lady reluctantly hung up the phone.
…
After the reward was announced, indeed, many people came forward.
Unfortunately, Huang Kaiwen insisted on payment only after seeing results, so they could only register and start “casting spells” at home.
By October 17th, Huang Kaiwen’s shoulder was already healed.
But Ancelotti still left him out of the squad list.
Huang Kaiwen and Kaka’s girlfriend Caroline sat together in the away stands, watching Milan’s league match against Cagliari.
“We can win, right?” Caroline asked softly.
“Definitely, Cagliari isn’t that strong.”
Huang Kaiwen casually said.
“Defeating teams like Milan is a piece of cake, isn’t it?”
However, the game was a slap in the face; only in the final moments did Seedorf assist Pirlo to score a goal, and Milan struggled to secure a victory away from home.
“Milan would win easily, huh?” Caroline said, covering her mouth with a teasing smile.
Huang Kaiwen, with a thick face, said, “If I were playing, Milan would have easily won the game!”
Caroline didn’t say a word but pulled a funny face at him.
She is indeed a cute girl.
After the game, when Kaka had changed, the three of them grabbed something to eat together.
On October 19th, after training had ended, Ancelotti found Huang Kaiwen and secretly handed him a package.
The package was wrapped in tattered cloth, which made Huang Kaiwen seriously wonder if Ancelotti had picked it up from a trash can.
Seeing Huang Kaiwen’s puzzled look, Ancelotti whispered, “I bought it from a Burmese guy, you’ll start against Barça tomorrow, and this is said to be able to ward off curses if you boil it and drink the water.”
Huang Kaiwen: …
Why didn’t the Burmese guy cut out your kidneys instead?
Faced with a coach who was rambling superstitiously, Huang Kaiwen didn’t know what to say.
Alas, he, Huang, must really have some serious bad karma.
To put Ancelotti’s mind at ease, Huang Kaiwen patted his chest and promised that he would drink it first thing the next morning.
Tomorrow, against Barça, he planned to use his saved “Injury Immunity Card.”
On his way home, he threw the rag-wrapped package away.
The next morning, Huang Kaiwen used the “24-hour Injury Immunity Card.”
When it was time to warm up, he chose to draw a card.
“Ding, you have obtained the 1997-1998 La Liga Season Round 21, Barcelona VS Real Madrid, Luis Figo Single-Match Experience Card”
Huang Liwen’s expression turned weird.
Playing against Barça as Figo, he hoped the away fans wouldn’t start throwing pig heads down at him.
The recent draws had all been for wingers, which spared him the discomfort.
If he were ever to draw a goalkeeper card, Huang Kaiwen didn’t know what he would do.
The Milan fans in the stands were already eager, with many of them displaying banners in support of Huang Kaiwen.
Enshrouded by the “curse,” the Milan fans were his most steadfast supporters.
“Both teams are fielding their strongest line-ups today.”
Coach Zhang said with a smile, “The fans are in for a treat, Milan against Barça, practically a showdown between the strongest teams in soccer.
The clash between the master coaches Ancelotti and Rijkaard is also highly anticipated.”
“Yes, let’s take a look at the starting line-ups of both sides.”
Milan’s 442 diamond midfield:
Goalkeeper: Dida
Defenders: Maldini, Nesta, Stam, Cafu
Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Huang Kaiwen, Kaka
Forwards: Inzaghi, Shevchenko
Barça’s 433 with a single defensive midfielder and two central midfielders:
Goalkeeper: Valdes
Defenders: Van Bronckhorst, Puyol, Oleg Reynum, Belletti
Midfielders: Deco, Mark, Xavi
Forwards: Ronaldinho, Eto’o, Larsson
“It’s worth noting that on the Barça bench there sits the prodigious youngster Messi; he made his debut last season in a friendly against Porto, and in February of this year, he signed a professional contract with Barça that runs until 2012, a term of 8 years, highlighting how much Barça values him.
It is worth mentioning that Inter Milan is also very interested in Messi.”
Huang Kaiwen also noticed the ‘future king of coal’ on the substitute bench.
With a fresh-faced appearance and a hairstyle similar to Aimar’s medium-long hair, his style was very much avant-garde.
Who could tell that this was one of the future tyrants of soccer?
Luckily, he, Huang, was not afraid; his good buddy Kaka had largely recovered, and they could go compete with him first.
