"Huang Kaiwen’s performance earned the respect of the entire stadium."
"Due to the season’s media portrayal of the religious atmosphere, today at the Athens Olympic Stadium, the stand was filled with severe antipathy. The game between Manchester United and Real Madrid was seen as a confrontation between Protestantism and Roman Catholicism, yet Huang Kaiwen’s missed penalty won the applause of the entire stadium."
"In the frame was Sir Bobby Charlton, one of the holy trinity of Manchester United."
"The Munich disaster was a loss for the world of football. Matt Busby’s decade of effort was destroyed overnight, and eight Manchester United players perished, including the talented Duncan Edwards."
"Ten years after the Munich air disaster, survivor Bobby Charlton and coach Matt Busby topped Europe at Wembley Stadium, cut their fingers, dripped the blood into the trophy, lifted the trophy eight times, fulfilling the pledge to the deceased, and also injected the spirit of never giving up into the genes of the Red Devils Manchester United!"
"A group of men took ten years to rebuild the team, making Manchester United the first English European champion. One man, facing England’s first European championship, refused to score an unjust penalty to secure the victory, and that’s why I love football so much."
"Referees are not machines, and even machines can lose control. There is no absolute fairness in football, but some are willing to act in body and spirit, missing a penalty in the UEFA Champions League final to maintain the fairness of the game. Huang Kaiwen’s world can accommodate his book fans, his fans, even opponents who have hurt him, but it cannot accommodate a victory tainted by a wrong judgment. ’Late in life came to know the highest good is like water, wealth to me is but as floating clouds.’ Perhaps it is this perseverance that allows him to return to the field after each injury."
"Gu Yanwu wrote in ’Qiufeng Xing’: ’In life, riches and honors pass quickly by; only glory and fame endure like gold and stone.’
"Huang Kaiwen scored many brilliant goals, but what impressed me most today was that Huang Kaiwen did not score."
