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

Chapter 1844 - 492: Barcelona Breathes a Sigh of Relief

"Welcome to the evening football broadcast."

The host Mentanase sat there with his legs crossed.

Sitting beside him was 19-year-old Julia-Dileta Leota.

This was a suggestion from Huang Kaiwen to CANALE5. Before, when watching football shows, he always felt the new female hosts lacked prowess, weren’t professional enough, but pretty girls are pleasing to the eye.

Previously, CANALE5 often had a dedicated female host for shows.

Many female hosts weren’t that knowledgeable about football, so the ratings weren’t great.

The flagship show, much like in the United Kingdom, relied on professionals like Lineker.

Huang Kaiwen thought for a moment before remembering who this girl was.

Isn’t she Karius’ wife?

Leota and Mentanase chatted about everything that happened on this match day.

"Today, Kevin, as the goalkeeper, kept a clean sheet against Juventus and was named this round’s best goalkeeper. What do you think?"

Mentanase asked.

Leota responded with some surprise: "I think it’s great because Kevin has always been the best."

The 175 cm tall Leota also had her legs crossed, and her skirt wasn’t long enough, which guaranteed the ratings.

Mentanase silently rolled his eyes. He wanted Leota to comment on whether this would be controversial, as Huang Kaiwen stood at the goal line for under 10 minutes twice, leading fans to discuss this topic. Who asked you if Huang Kaiwen was good or not?

Mentanase could only proactively say: "Kevin was in goal for a total of 9 minutes and 22 seconds, but he received the best goalkeeper award for the round. Does this have to do with his status, and does it seem unfair to other players?"

Next to Huang Kaiwen, Lily turned her head to the young lady and said: "This guy is so annoying, quickly fire him!"

Huang Kaiwen patted Lily, laughed, and said: "I think it’s fine, the host must know how to find news, this doesn’t count as a scandal."

"Yes, the producer asked me beforehand, and I agreed."

The young lady said.

Lily sat there with her arms folded, snorted and said: "You two are teaming up to bully me."

Huang Kaiwen and the young lady exchanged glances, is this considered bullying? Then what’s happening upstairs?

On TV, Leota said: "The length of time isn’t the most important, the key is Kevin’s several saves were crucial, oh my, I didn’t know his reactions were so quick, my heart almost jumped out."

Mentanase nodded and said: "I felt the same way, but today we invited a professional to evaluate Kevin’s performance, please welcome our legendary goalkeeper, Dino Zoff."

Mentanase quickly stood up, welcomed Zoff who came out from backstage, embraced him and said: "Good evening Dino, sorry for having you join the live show so late."

"If there’s this kind of good thing next time, make sure to call me."

Zoff said with a smile.

Participating in the live show last minute, he received a generous appearance fee.

Plus the television station’s helicopter transportation, this is a nice way for a veteran to earn extra cash.

The two sat down together.

The camera still focused more on Leota.

At this time, on the big screen, footage of Huang Kaiwen’s saves was playing.

Just a few minutes in total, the highlights edited down to a few dozen seconds, quickly played through.

Mentanase asked: "What do you think, Dino? Tell us about the issues you noticed."

"Kevin’s positioning is excellent, he understands his speed and body, so sometimes it may look risky, but it’s actually within his control."

Zoff said with a smile.

His relationship with Huang Kaiwen has always been good.

Even if Huang Kaiwen performed poorly, he wouldn’t say anything bad.

Not to mention, Huang Kaiwen’s performance in this game was outstanding.

"So, are there any problems?"

Mentanase asked.

"Of course." Zoff pointed at the screen and said: "Rewind a bit, yes, right here, Kevin’s save movement was obviously distorted, this is because he doesn’t have muscle memory for goalkeeping movements, so in critical moments he forgets the standard action."

"So, there’s a problem with Kevin playing as a goalkeeper, right?"

Mentanase asked with a smile.

As if he wouldn’t be happy unless he found some fault with Huang Kaiwen.

Zoff shook his head and said: "You know some goalkeepers have poor positioning but quick reactions, which can hide their flaws, making the saves look very spectacular. But Kevin’s physical qualities are even better, he has the fastest speed and explosive power in football, so the problem you mentioned doesn’t exist at all, Kevin can make up for everything with his reaction speed, balls that Kevin can’t save, neither Buffon nor I in my younger days could save."

"Alright, thank you Dino, your professional insights have been very helpful to us."

Mentanase continued asking: "After losing to AC Milan this round, Juventus has dropped to ninth place. As a former Italy national team head coach, can you help us analyze Juventus’ problems?"

Zoff didn’t speak immediately.

Juventus was the team he played for the longest in his career, he had to be careful speaking at this time.

After all, not everyone is like the Manchester United veterans, eager to let everyone know they have a mouth to speak with.

After about half a minute, Zoff finally spoke: "After the ’Calciopoli’ scandal, Juventus is no longer the first choice for many players, Milan is too strong, Inter Milan equally has great skills, although I don’t want to admit it, Juventus is no longer on the same level as these two teams."

"So, Inter Milan and AC Milan are on the same level?"

Mentanase said.
