Chapter 2285: Chapter 582: Portugal’s Witchcraft Counterattack

At this moment, he finally understood Wenger’s regret.

Huang Kaiwen is great in every way, except he’s too expensive.

In the evening after Huang Kaiwen finished bathing, Cocu called him to the meeting room.

Seeing Lily’s disappointed face, Huang Kaiwen changed into the sponsor’s training clothes and said, "I’ll be back soon."

Arriving at the meeting room.

Huang Kaiwen found everyone present, including Inzaghi.

"What’s going on?"

Huang Kaiwen asked.

Tassotti said, "The Portuguese suspect you used witchcraft, causing Löw to underperform, and that Ten Hag is the key as you mentioned. Of course, my role as Carlo’s assistant is also evidence."

Huang Kaiwen:...

Portugal really is a master in the art of witchcraft.

They almost guessed the truth.

Huang Kaiwen said irritably, "They should ask how many wizards Porto and Benfica have hired over the years. If I’m not mistaken, the witchcraft trend using toads was started by the Portuguese, and their national team having wizards wouldn’t surprise me."

"That’s how it is, anyway."

Cocu said.

"Ignore them, the Portuguese have no standing to say such things."

Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.

The football world likes to play the witchcraft trick most is the Portuguese teams.

"Then there’s no problem, the rest is good news."

Cocu said with a smile, "I saw the domestic support rate online; now nearly all fans who are online support you leading the team through the European Cup."

"That’s normal."

Huang Kaiwen said.

He’s targeted Löw both off-field and in tactics, ultimately winning by two goals.

If the Dutch still don’t support him, that would be bizarre.

"But the next match against Portugal won’t be easy."

Cocu said.

"No worries, I’ve already decided who will replace Mark."

Huang Kaiwen said.

Kuyt is truly the treasure of the Netherlands national team.

Aside from being unable to play as a goalie, he performs steadily in all positions.

Not saying he can play world-class in every position.

But changing positions seemingly doesn’t affect his skill at all.

If Kuyt were a few years younger, Huang Kaiwen would immediately have Gagliani order him to Milan City.

Having such a versatile player is indeed a relief.

Others taking on unfamiliar positions weaken their skill considerably.

Even if they maintain skill, they’re not as versatile as Kuyt.

In the entire football world, aside from Mr. Huang mastering eleven positions, the most multi-talented player who can play all positions except goalie is Kuyt.

The coaching staff is very excited.

Especially the few from Milan, finally experiencing how thrilling it is to win as a coach.

They chatted with Huang Kaiwen for a long time about the Portugal Team.

This Portugal Team is also quite good.

The key is the defense line formed by Pepe, Carvalho, and those golden-haired ones; it’s much stronger than the Netherlands, and comparable to Germany.

England’s Terry and Cole are a bit older, but still very stable.

Italy goes without saying, Juventus’ defenders might struggle against the Yellow Ball King, but they perform very well in the European Cup.

Spain’s direct championship defense line is strong in both offense and defense.

The Netherlands has a weak defense line, among European powerhouses, it’s considered the worst.

From Stam’s generation to Van Dijk and De Vrij’s generation, there really weren’t reliable defenders.

Huang Kaiwen even suspects; if Kuyt played as a defender, he’d be the strongest among Dutch defenders.

Just thinking about it is headache-inducing.

After chatting for over an hour with Inzaghi about tactics, Huang Kaiwen returned to his room.

The moment he entered, he heard lively noises.

He asked, "What’s going on?"

Lily pointed outside the call room, "They’re Dutch fans here to cheer for you, already surrounding the hotel."

Standing by the window, Huang Kaiwen glanced around; there were more people outside than he expected.

Excited masses almost blocked all paths around the hotel.

Even though the windows were well-sealed, he could faintly hear cries of Saint Kevin.

"I’ll go down and handle it."

Huang Kaiwen said.

He didn’t mind.

But this situation would definitely affect player rest.

"I’ll go with you!"

Lily directly grabbed Huang Kaiwen’s arm.

She has seen how enthusiastic Dutch female fans can be.

Although she can’t fully display her abilities, she doesn’t want just any Dutch woman using them.

Huang Kaiwen couldn’t help but chuckle, grabbing Lily’s hand and taking her downstairs.

After communicating with the hotel, the two walked out under the security personnel’s protection.

Boom—

"Saint Kevin!!!"

"Saint Kevin!!!"

"Saint Kevin!!!"

The enthusiasm of the fans multiplied by ten.

The night sky of Kharkov echoed with such chants.

Huang Kaiwen waved with a smile, waiting five minutes before the site calmed a bit.

He took the amplifying equipment and said, "Thank you very much for your support. I’m also thrilled to be the coach of the Netherlands team. We share the same hopes—to see the Tulip Team ascend to the pinnacle of Europe. But now is just the beginning. Players need rest, and I hope you can understand."

The responses below were chaotic and noisy.

Mixed with some enthusiastic female fans.

No wonder Lily was worried.

Huang Kaiwen continued saying, "We’ve completed two matches. The upcoming game against Portugal is the key to advancing, and then we’ll continue forward. So I hope you can provide a better resting environment for the players and kindly not believe the newspaper’s defamation. Those people fear the Netherlands, fear our strongest offensive in Europe, and attempt such means to affect the Netherlands team. As long as we unite, the Netherlands will surely be invincible!!!"

"Yes!!!!"

Fans waved their arms wildly, responding to Huang Kaiwen’s words.

Some players couldn’t help but come downstairs to watch the commotion.

After another twenty minutes, Huang Kaiwen persuaded those fans to leave and be safe.

Poverty always accompanies crime.

After Er Mao’s decline, their days aren’t easy.

In contrast, the other host country Poland might have it better, as Poland is in a period of rapid development.

Huang Kaiwen led Lily back.

Van Persie immediately welcomed him with a smile, saying, "Kevin, you are more popular than the King."

"We."

Huang Kaiwen said with a smile, "The fan enthusiasm is directed at us. Without players, coaches can’t accomplish anything."

"Exactly."

Van Persie nodded and said.

"Rest early, Robin."

Huang Kaiwen patted his shoulder as he spoke.

Lily was already impatient.

The next morning, when Huang Kaiwen got up, he saw Portugal’s national team head coach Paul Bento venting by making comparisons between him and Ten Hag.

That guy probably thinks this will curse the Yellow Ball King.

Huang Kaiwen immediately called a familiar journalist and said, "I have great respect for Mr. Bento, his coaching style is like David Moyes."
