Chapter 2215 - 568: Kroos’s Interview
Kroos complained: "Previously, there were Bayern fans calling me a traitor, always leaving comments on my social media."
"How did you respond to them?"
Sven Bender asked curiously.
"I told them to shut up and wait until June 2015, my Champions League trophies would exceed Bayern’s."
Kroos said.
Huang Kaiwen shook his head with a smile.
This guy sure is confident, thinking the Champions League trophies in the coming years will still be Milan’s.
Even Huang Kaiwen hadn’t thought of this.
But on second thought, there aren’t many competitive teams nowadays.
Barca without Messi has declined significantly.
After Sir Ferguson retires at the end of the season, Manchester United won’t live up to the Red Demon’s reputation, as each year falls short.
Manchester City is on the rise, but still far from being a top four UEFA Champions League team.
Juventus and Inter Milan both fall short, and Liverpool has not yet revived.
Arsenal is even worse, as players’ prices rise, their lineup keeps thinning out.
Seeing it this way, only Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Bayern pose a threat to Milan.
This season’s final four truly deserve their spots.
Upon arriving at the Munich Palace Hotel, Gagliani reminded them: "You can use any equipment and hotel services here, besides the rooms booked earlier, the team has reserved all the remaining rooms."
The Imperial Hotel isn’t large.
But it’s adjacent to Isarauen Park, not far from the Isar River.
The hotel has a private courtyard with unique scenery, making it a nice quiet retreat in a bustling area.
Huang Kaiwen carried his luggage upstairs, planning to eat something first.
German cuisine is quite acceptable to him.
Inzaghi, carrying a bag, looked down and followed, saying: "How about we go for a sauna later? I saw in the brochure there’s a sauna, and it’s mixed-gender in Germany."
"That’s right."
Kroos nodded and said.
Huang Kaiwen said irritably: "That’s wearing pajamas and seriously steaming a sauna, it’s not what you’re thinking, and don’t you like watching sans clothes?"
"You don’t understand, wearing clothes adds a hazy feeling."
Inzaghi waved his hand.
Sometimes, being frank doesn’t interest him at all.
Huang Kaiwen followed Kaka into the room, seeing the wicker chair on the balcony, he eagerly sat down to rest.
Kaka laughed and said: "It’s quite peaceful here, except you can see the other hotel rooms."
"It’s okay, after all, everything’s been booked out."
Huang Kaiwen replied.
Soon, Ramos pushed the door open and entered the room, waving a newspaper and saying: "Kevin, these are for you."
Huang Kaiwen smiled, accepting them, and said: "I was wondering where you went, did you get them from the hotel?"
"Yeah, they prepared quite a few."
Ramos said: "You haven’t had breakfast yet, right? I’ll call room service."
"No need, I’ve already ordered."
Kaka pressed the phone button.
Originally planning to have a meal with Huang Kaiwen.
Now with an added noisy guy.
Huang Kaiwen opened the newspaper, eyes widening.
He actually saw news of Sir Ferguson’s retirement.
Upon closer look, it turned out to be a prediction made by "The Times."
Every end of season, there’s such a rumor.
If Sir Ferguson were to retire, he’d surely call ahead to notify him.
Aside from the two having a good relationship, that Scottish old man also doesn’t trust his team and would probably find ways to scoop players from Milan.
This kind of thing would definitely involve calling the Yellow Ball King.
Huang Kaiwen suddenly thought of something.
How about sending Pirlo to Manchester United to play?
Pirlo is definitely stronger than Carrick, right?
When Wenger was interviewed by "The Times," he said: "This match will put a lot of pressure on Bayern, Ribery, and Robben are excellent, but they are no match for Kevin and Messi. Their wings are not as good as AC Milan’s, they must find ways to defend, and Inter Milan did well in this regard during matches; lowering their posture will give them a chance, teams that counter-play against AC Milan don’t end well."
Huang Kaiwen suspected that the professor was self-mocking.
Arsenal is always thrashed when they meet the Yellow Ball King.
There is a gap in strength between the two sides, but one aspect is Arsenal’s playing style.
Huang Kaiwen loves playing against offensive teams!
If your attack efficiency isn’t higher than mine, you score one goal in four attacks, the Yellow Ball King ignites a goal every one or two attacks, and a counter-play will end in a large score with no other outcomes.
But it’s admirable that Arsenal can persist with their style.
They say Bielsa can maintain his style, but the professor isn’t bad in this regard either.
Apart from people related to the football world, Djokovic, who was preparing for Wimbledon, mentioned during an interview with "The Times": "AC Milan’s dominance is unshakable, I will watch the Champions League final. But I am just looking forward to enjoying AC Milan and Kevin’s brilliant goals, not eager to witness an unknown result. Football is now the least suspenseful sport, bar none."
"Bild": "Bayern reaches the Champions League final again after a year, this time at home. Although the opponent isn’t Chelsea, it’s still a team led by Kevin. Even if they don’t think about avenging that night at Bernabeu, they should fight for German football. English naturally has a huge advantage, Spanish also has a significant market. German and Italian football are direct competitors, this Champions League final’s outcome not only concerns the trophy but also determines which country’s league will attract more fans."
Huang Kaiwen pursed his lips.
They made some good points.
But is it really wise for "Bild" to pressure the entire Bayern team at this moment?
Some people say "Bild" is Bayern’s mouthpiece, but they really pull Bayern down quite often.
"Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung": "According to calculations by Cologne Sport University, Bayern’s win rate is less than thirty percent, defeating AC Milan would make it a great victory!"
"Team Newspaper": "In the poll we conducted on our official website, AC Milan’s support rate is as high as eighty-one percent, it seems the Rossoneri have enough fans worldwide, perhaps they already have the most fans among all teams."
At this time, the waiter pushed the dining cart into the room.
Huang Kaiwen put down the newspaper and stood up.
Kaka and Ramos are very familiar with his dietary preferences, so Huang Kaiwen never has to order by himself when the team is away.
Including France and the countries where Europe’s major leagues are based.
Huang Kaiwen is most accustomed to Italian cuisine, then German cuisine, and after that, French cuisine.
French cuisine, although derived from Italy, is too exquisite, and it uses too much cream and butter.
While the three were eating.
Someone knocked on the door.
Ramos went to open it, and Huang Kaiwen saw Gagliani at the door.
"What’s up, Adriano?"
Huang Kaiwen asked.
In the presence of Kaka and Ramos, he didn’t need to deliberately keep a distance from Gagliani.
"It’s like this, 1860 Munich is about to have an event, and they hope you can participate." Gagliani said somewhat awkwardly: "After all, we’re using their training ground, so it’d be hard to refuse."
"It’s fine, I’ll participate."
Huang Kaiwen wiped his mouth and said.
Munich also has it tough.
As one of Germany’s early giants, their only mistake was missing out on Beckenbauer.
At 13, Beckenbauer was still playing for a small team in Munich, planning to join 1860 after the season, but during a regional league match, he encountered 1860’s youth team.
In that match, he was slapped by a defender from 1860, and Beckenbauer changed his mind to join Bayern instead.
The coach Beckenbauer liked, Lattek, became Bayern’s head coach.
Lattek then successfully persuaded Hoeness and Breitner not to go to 1860.
This series of chain reactions completely changed the history of German football.
Huang Kaiwen walked out of the room.
Gagliani turned and said: "1860 hopes to focus on youth training to restore their previous strength, so this time they want to show a close relationship with you, so those kids who like you would lean towards 1860’s youth training camp."
"I understand."
Huang Kaiwen said.
Such a thing is just a matter of raising a hand.
The two were about to leave the hotel when Maldini hurriedly stopped them and said: "Something bad happened."
"What’s wrong, Paul?"
Huang Kaiwen asked curiously.
Maldini seemed pretty frantic.
"Kroos, Kroos accepted an interview privately!"
