After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!

Chapter 1469 - 418: Severing Demons, Returning to the Source, Fusing Primordial Spirit

Otherwise, with just these two full-backs, wouldn’t breaking Lord Mo’s record of 81 crosses in a single game be a piece of cake?

Buffon, wearing a white turban, sat in front of the TV and sighed toward the sky.

The decline of Serie A really tugged at his heartstrings.

Even if Juventus gets eliminated from the UEFA Champions League this season, their qualification for next season’s Champions League is still quite secure.

He just wanted to ask Lazio and Florence, what are those teams doing?

He had already begun to adapt to life in the desert, just hadn’t decided on his future direction yet.

...

"Kevin, joining the press conference?"

Boas asked.

"Nah, I’d rather head straight home."

Huang Kaiwen declined.

"John?"

Boas looked at Terry.

Terry nudged Bale and said with a grin, "Let the young guy have his moment in the spotlight. After a hat-trick, of course he needs to face the press."

"Alright then, let’s go Gareth!"

Boas waved his hand.

His new suit was expensive, didn’t want to hug a sweaty player.

Post-match press conference venue.

Deschamps’ expression looked like someone owed him tens of millions of Euros.

Boas chuckled and sat together with Bale on stage.

"Didier, tell us why Inter suffered such a terrible defeat?"

"Mr. Deschamps, before the match you said Inter Milan had the ability to beat any team, does any team include Chelsea?"

"Mr. Boas, is Mr. Mourinho injured again, where did he get hurt?"

"Bale, share with us how you managed a hat-trick, are you a winger or a full-back?"

Boas, somewhat displeased, said, "I recall I’ve mentioned more than once, you can call a person by their name, but when you call someone’s surname, you should add ’Mr.’, just because he’s not yet 20 doesn’t mean you can disregard him, this kid is going to be a big star soon, his weekly wage is more than what you earn in half a year!"

Deschamps glanced at Boas.

Didn’t expect Boas to stand up for the player first.

This guy was quite interesting too.

"Alright, sorry, Mr. Bale, tell us about yourself."

the reporter said.

Bale, feeling at a loss, looked toward Boas. Boas smiled, spreading his palms, signaling for Bale to speak.

Bale pulled the microphone over and said, "Whether I play as a full-back or a winger depends on the coach, if the coach wants me as a full-back, then I’m a full-back, if he wants me as a winger, then I’m a winger."

"Where do you personally prefer to play?"

The reporter pressed.

They just loved inexperienced players like this.

As long as the player mentioned a position, then in the upcoming game, if Mourinho placed Bale in a position he didn’t like...

They could then take a photo of Bale not smiling during the game, and write up a piece on possible conflicts between Bale and Mourinho.

Bale thought for a moment before saying, "Actually, my preference doesn’t really matter, but rather where the team needs me. Kevin is the best player in the world, but when the team needs him, he can play as a goalkeeper or a midfielder, so I’m no exception, Kevin is the example I learn from."

"What did Kevin say to you today?"

Bale smiled and said, "Kevin told me that if you make a mistake, you should make up for it, he believes in my ability to do so. You know, I was quite surprised at that moment, because I was just a substitute at Tottenham, and Tottenham is just a small club, but Kevin is the greatest player in history, for him to say he believed in me, that feeling is like a superhero in a comic book telling you, ’You can do it!’"

"The greatest player in history? Better than Bobby Charlton and Duncan Edwards?"

asked a British reporter.

"I, I mean no offense to others, but that’s Kevin!"

Bale said, a bit nervously, stretching out his hands, one higher, one lower, "I have a big gap compared to those legendary players, but they also have a big gap compared to Kevin. If it weren’t for the rule requiring 11 players on the field, Chelsea might only need to send out 5 players to win all the championships under Kevin’s leadership."
