Chapter 2297: Chapter 585: Jujutsu Kaisen - Winds Rising Once Again

"Is Mr. Gagliani taking the same stance?"

"Mark, tell us what you think—were you involved in this?"

"Will this incident affect the Netherlands national team’s results?"

Huang Kaiwen said with a smile, "I haven’t spoken with Mr. Van Ostiven yet, but I believe Dutch football will absolutely not tolerate something like this. As for the brawl, that’s easy to judge—several National Team players have suffered minor concussions, and that was caused by Van der Vaart’s blows."

Van Bommel hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, a lot of teammates are feeling unwell. I arrived late and didn’t experience the incident, but if I’d been there, I would’ve given that bastard Van der Vaart a serious lesson."

"You mean you wanted to hit Van der Vaart too?"

The reporter pressed him.

"Of course."

Van Bommel nodded and said, "The coach is right—Dutch football will never tolerate this kind of scum who destroys other people’s families. Van der Vaart’s behavior disgusts me. I have no idea how he dared to mess around with his good friend’s wife. A guy like that will never have real friends. No matter what decision the FA makes, I’ll never be his teammate again."

"Then will this incident affect the Netherlands team’s performance?"

The reporter kept asking.

The Netherlands were in great shape, and then this ’friend’s wife scandal’ blew up.

The reporters were delighted.

Van Bommel shook his head directly and said, "Van der Vaart won’t affect us. The National Team right now is incredibly united. Every single one of us is standing by Caridi, and we believe he’ll walk out of the shadow very soon."

"Mark is right." Huang Kaiwen added, "Great technique, rotten character—no league in any country will welcome a player like that. Mr. Gagliani has already passed on the message to me: the Serie A, in order to protect the league’s image, has shut the door on any transfer for Van der Vaart."

Van Bommel wasn’t surprised at all.

Even though Huang Kaiwen hadn’t spoken with Gagliani yet.

But in Serie A, isn’t it basically as simple as Huang Kaiwen saying a word?

"In the next match against Greece, what tactics will the Netherlands team use?"

One of the reporters asked.

Huang Kaiwen smiled and shook his head, saying, "The Netherlands’ tactics have never changed, and they won’t change in the future either. We have always been the standard-bearers of total football. That’s football with a defined style."

"Even when you’re being pinned back by Germany and Portugal, does that still count?"

A reporter shouted.

Huang Kaiwen shot a look at the press officer.

The press officer immediately had security escort the man out.

At this point Van Bommel said, "That’s football. Total football doesn’t mean you attack non-stop. When you’re defending, the whole team works together; as long as you find a chance to break out on the counter and win the game, that’s total football. That’s Dutch football. We’ve played like this since we were kids."

Huang Kaiwen quietly gave him a thumbs-up.

Van Bommel might look reckless, but just like De Jong, he’s a high-IQ guy.

To become Bayern’s first foreign captain in club history, it’s not just about how well you play.

"Alright, that’s it for today’s press conference."

Huang Kaiwen announced directly.

Van Bommel immediately stood up with him.

After they got back, Huang Kaiwen had the players keep training as usual.

That night, once everyone had left, he called Boulahrouz alone and summoned him to the office.

"Coach."

Boulahrouz said, a bit moved.

On this matter, Huang Kaiwen had stood completely behind him, and more importantly, he hadn’t let people turn him into a laughingstock or a pitiful victim.

"Sit."

Huang Kaiwen pointed at the sofa.

Boulahrouz sat down on the sofa.

Huang Kaiwen asked, "Have you thought about what you’re going to do?"

"I haven’t really thought it through yet, but I’ll perform well."

Boulahrouz said anxiously.

He’d finally taken over Van der Wiel’s starting spot.

The last thing he wanted was to be affected at a time like this.

"Once the European Cup is over, I’ll introduce two lawyers to you."

Huang Kaiwen said, "Don’t wrong yourself at a time like this. Your life is still long; you deserve someone better."

"I’ll think about it. Thank you, boss."

Boulahrouz shook his head and said.

He still hadn’t decided whether he wanted a divorce.

"Can you hold up?"

Huang Kaiwen asked.

At times like this, it’s easy for players to be affected.

"I’m fine, boss. I’ll definitely play well." Boulahrouz said hurriedly.

"Good. I believe you. You’ll start again in the next match against Greece."

Huang Kaiwen said.

Boulahrouz quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you, thank you..."

Huang Kaiwen went over and helped Boulahrouz up, put an arm around his shoulder, and walked out of the dressing room with him, saying, "Don’t worry. The whole world will be on your side. The fact that you can keep playing at a time like this—everyone knows you’re a hard man. You don’t need to be afraid of anyone laughing at you."

"I understand, boss."

Boulahrouz nodded.

After he left, Gagliani finally showed up and said to Huang Kaiwen, "I’ve already coordinated with the media. The main line is to condemn that pair of dogs, and to build up the image of the Netherlands team being united as one and of Boulahrouz putting aside his personal humiliation for the sake of national honor."

"And don’t forget the French team."

Huang Kaiwen said, "The French team’s infighting isn’t over yet. Stoke The Sun newspaper’s fire, dig up some inside stuff over in France for them."

"Got it."

Gagliani nodded.

He left Huang Kaiwen’s office.

...

No matter how dark things are in Europe and America, they still do a great job with appearances.

Combined with Gagliani’s deliberate guidance, Van der Vaart had already become a rat on the street.

The outer walls of Tottenham Hotspur Club had been covered in graffiti by angry fans.

The Times ran a graffiti photo with "FXXk Vaart" on its front page, with the caption: "Even though this is a matter of his private life, Serie A’s stance is a warning to us. Italian Football Federation president Abbett has publicly announced that he’s refusing to let Van der Vaart play in Serie A. The Premier League may not care about this sort of thing—those FA officials spend all day dreaming about screwing their secretaries—but people need to understand: there is only one number-one league in the world. Every step Serie A takes forward is a step of threat to the Premier League."
