Huang Kaiwen solemnly tied his shoelaces.

This is his first time teaming up with Messi.

He has to show some real skills.

Otherwise, even if Messi doesn’t think he’s a dud, he’ll think he’s acting.

When they’re not on the same team, he’s like a god; when they are, he’s as useless as ever.

Seems like Messi is here to lift him up.

Huang Kaiwen opened the system and sure enough, saw Messi’s skills.

[Ding, successfully intercepted Messi’s 2011 Ballon d’Or, skill successfully activated, trait copied]

Trait: Seize the Initiative—Messi often waits for the opponent’s move before making his own. With this trait, your reaction speed is dramatically increased, allowing you to take the lead with ease.

Dramatically!!!

Huang Kaiwen didn’t expect to tap into Messi’s talents.

Now, he just sips tea leisurely, browsing through Lily’s social media posts.

He can still extract traits from Messi.

This is a good omen.

He wonders whether today’s experience card will feature an Inter Milan player, an Argentine player, or someone else.

With his expectation meter hitting 100, Huang Kaiwen opted for the prize draw.

[Ding, you received a Lothar Matthäus 24-hour experience card from the 1988-1989 Serie A second round, Inter Milan VS Pisa]

Ma’s big mouth!

This is the second time that Yellow Ball King has drawn [Matthäus].

[Matthäus] has unquestionable skills; if it weren’t for his foul mouth, he’d be much more famous.

The last time Huang Kaiwen used the [Matthäus] experience card,

He felt the robust physical power of this near-football king.

Ferocious speed, ferocious strength.

Just in time to show Messi the full-force Yellow Ball King today.

Originally, Huang Kaiwen had planned to show off his fancy dribbling but realized he could just be simple and direct.

After using the [Experience Card] and [Immunity Card], Huang Kaiwen set a small goal: try not to injure Inter players and keep ball switches under five times per match.

Then he finished tying his shoelaces.

Seeing his teammates all sitting there waiting, he stood up and waved, saying: "Nothing much to say about the match against Inter Milan, just score, score, and score again."

"Roar—"

The Milan players gradually walked out of the locker room.

Huang Kaiwen glanced deeply at the tightly shut away changing room of Inter.

This is Milan’s last match against Inter at San Siro.

There’s another away game at the end of the season.

Come summer, the new stadium will open.

Moratti sold the stadium shares back to Milan.

St. Kevin Stadium will be entirely owned by the Rossoneri.

The days of both teams sharing a home ground will become history.

Once Huang Kaiwen walked out, he realized his teammates were waiting at the tunnel entrance.

Gagliani, seeing Huang Kaiwen, immediately waved and said: "Kevin, lead him out together."

"I’m not part of the club’s management."

Huang Kaiwen said.

Gagliani didn’t say anything, just looked firmly at Huang Kaiwen.

Huang Kaiwen could only nod and take the lead into the stadium.

Boom—

"Saint Kevin!"

"Saint Kevin!"

"Saint Kevin!"

The San Siro Stadium erupted like a tidal wave.

Standing at the tunnel entrance, Kaka, not wanting Messi to overthink, said to him: "Kevin is just that popular, it’s not about stealing your thunder."

"It’s well-deserved."

Messi said in a low voice, "Kevin is better than me and has been with Milan longer."

Kaka smiled and nodded.

His impression of Messi improved significantly.

Huang Kaiwen was already on stage, taking the microphone from the young lady.

Looking at the young lady’s gradually swelling belly, Huang Kaiwen joked: "Our chairwoman usually doesn’t appear at San Siro, but today truly marks a historic moment."

The young lady smiled with him.

"Next, let’s welcome our new player—Lionel Messi!!!"

Huang Kaiwen called out in a long drawl.

Messi finally ran out from the player tunnel.

The San Siro Stadium gave him a grand round of applause and cheers.

With Huang Kaiwen’s arrangements, the housekeeper and fan organization conveyed the message.

Today, there are many Messi banners at San Siro, and the South Stand even has a huge banner featuring Messi in an Argentine jersey.

Knowing Messi isn’t good in such situations, Huang Kaiwen didn’t pass the mic to him.

"Do you have any goals coming to Milan?" Huang Kaiwen asked, extending the mic!

"Championships, I want to win a lot of championships!"

Messi said.

Another round of applause followed.

Huang Kaiwen kicked a ball to Messi.

Letting him showcase himself to the fans, Huang Kaiwen jogged back into the tunnel.

By this time, the Inter players had emerged.

Sannetti smiled wryly at Huang Kaiwen and said: "I’m increasingly feeling that retiring early might be a good thing."

"I also heard Paol Maldini say this once, then he played for another three years!"

Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.

Sannetti shook his head.

Can he really be compared to Maldini?

AC Milan was already strong enough, and now Messi has joined Milan.

He’s played alongside Messi with the national team, fully aware of Messi’s prowess.

Sannetti rarely has negative emotions.

But the match hasn’t even started today, and he’s already longing for it to end.

This might as well not be played.

They chatted for a while, and Messi’s unveiling ceremony was completed.

The two teams split up to warm up.

Coach Zhang asked: "Don’t you feel AC Milan fans aren’t that eager about Messi joining?"

"Hehe, is Messi strong? Oh, definitely! But AC Milan already has Huang Kaiwen, and Huang Kaiwen hasn’t lost yet, that’s the key. AC Milan fans aren’t lacking enthusiasm about Messi’s signing, they’re just not as desperate for signings as other teams’ fans are."
