Chapter 2265 - 579: Master Huang Takes Command

Chapter 2265: Chapter 579: Master Huang Takes Command

The journalists erupted completely.

"Kevin, why did van Persie get injured?"

"Kevin, what role do you play in the coaching staff?"

"Kevin, do you have any say, it’s said that the Dutch are making you take the fall, is that true?"

"Kevin, how do you think the Netherlands team’s performance will be, can they win the European Cup?"

"Kevin, it’s rumored that Torres and Xavi had a conflict, what’s your opinion?"

"..."

All the questions were directed at Huang Kaiwen.

Even Van Marwijk was relieved to be relaxed.

Huang Kaiwen tapped the microphone and said, "Quiet, quiet!"

The voices from the audience died down, and Huang Kaiwen began to speak: "Today, I’ll only discuss the Netherlands team affairs. Firstly, as the team manager, I won’t be overly involved in tactical issues. If you’re curious about tactics, you can ask Mr. Van Marwijk."

"Do you have a good relationship with Mr. Van Marwijk?"

A journalist asked.

Van Marwijk immediately grabbed the microphone and said, "I’ve known Kevin for a long time; he’s a very insightful player. Although he hasn’t officially become a coach, his game reading ability surpasses the average person, offering me many new perspectives and making me notice things I hadn’t before."

"So, does this mean Kevin can participate in tactical planning?"

Van Marwijk nodded and said, "Your interpretation is correct, I greatly respect Kevin’s opinions."

Huang Kaiwen pursed his lips.

The old fox really wants to tie him to the bandwagon.

Today, he hadn’t even expressed a single opinion.

However, Huang Kaiwen wasn’t too bothered.

He had already prepared for the worst.

When he agreed to Van Marwijk, Huang Kaiwen knew it would be a difficult job.

After all, he understood the Netherlands team’s performance in this tournament.

Precisely because of this, Huang Kaiwen found it interesting.

The Netherlands team has strength.

The main issues lie in player status and the locker room.

"Kevin, what’s your opinion on the tactics the Netherlands team should adopt?"

An English journalist asked.

Huang Kaiwen said, "I have no opinion. Mr. Van Marwijk’s tactics are already quite excellent; I believe my main task this time is to learn from him."

"Kevin is being modest; that’s typical of Chinese people, you understand."

Said Van Marwijk.

Huang Kaiwen:...

"What’s the story with van Persie’s injury?"

Huang Kaiwen directly kept silent.

This matter wasn’t under his jurisdiction.

Huang Kaiwen definitely wouldn’t comment.

Van Marwijk waited for a long time, seeing Huang Kaiwen remain silent, he could only brace himself and say, "Robin encountered some issues when he arrived, so he wasn’t careful while descending the stairs and rolled down."

"You mean van Persie rolled down the stairs and hurt his face like that?"

The journalist pressed on.

Van Marwijk nodded and said, "Yes, that’s exactly what happened!"

"But people usually don’t sustain so many injuries to the head, maybe the first instance, but afterward people will instinctively protect their head, making it rare for the face to get hurt from rolling down stairs."

The journalist said.

They were quite experienced in exposing similar incidents.

"What Mr. Van Marwijk said is how it should be; I arrived a bit late this morning, so I’m not fully informed."

Huang Kaiwen said.

Van Marwijk immediately gave a wry smile at Huang Kaiwen.

This young man really doesn’t suffer any losses.

"Do you think the Netherlands team can reach the finals or win the championship?"

A journalist asked.

"I don’t know."

Huang Kaiwen shook his head and said, "The Netherlands team has strength, but a match isn’t just about strength on paper; it also depends on specific performance, you should understand this."

"Who do you think is the most beautiful among the wives and girlfriends at the European Cup in Ukraine and Poland?"

Hearing an English accent, Huang Kaiwen laughed and asked, "’The Sun newspaper’?"

"Yes!"

The journalist nodded and said.

Huang Kaiwen directly said, "Lily Collins."

The atmosphere at the scene finally eased a bit.

After answering a few more questions, Huang Kaiwen and Van Marwijk finally left.

Van Marwijk said, "I had thought before you spoke appropriately, but I didn’t expect you to be more impressive; you remind me of Sir Ferguson."

"I don’t have such a bad temper."

Huang Kaiwen laughed and said.

When the old lord is displeased, he really uses words starting with ’F’ at press conferences to greet journalists.

"I mean you are good at using other things to cover up a matter, Ferguson also spoke this way, his fiery side is often an act."

"I will relay your evaluation to him when I have time."

Huang Kaiwen laughed and said.

Van Marwijk sighed and pointed at Huang Kaiwen.

He truly is in character not to evaluate others.

If only the Netherlands players could be half, no, just a tenth as composed as Huang Kaiwen, the national team’s performance could greatly improve.

Those guys always squabble over trivial issues.

Even the position of lockers in the locker room can spark a quarrel.

Although he hasn’t coached Huang Kaiwen, Van Marwijk believes, even if given the worst locker position, Huang Kaiwen wouldn’t mind.

This is what true wisdom looks like.

Contest when it’s truly necessary, not over trivial matters.

Driving the car rented by the Dutch for him back to the hotel, Huang Kaiwen saw Lily lying on the bed watching TV.

On TV, a group of scantily clad Ukrainian women were holding signs in protest.

Huang Kaiwen asked, "What’s happening?"

"Nothing much, they’re advocating for Ukrainian women to respect themselves, not to sell themselves for money."

Lily said.

"This country used to be wealthy," Huang Kaiwen said.

"Then why is it like this now?"
