"We haven’t reached the semi-finals and finals yet."

De Bruyne suddenly asked.

Standing at the door, Huang Kaiwen smiled and said, "Don’t worry, among the two teams participating in the finals, one will definitely be us."

Huang Kaiwen left.

De Bruyne remained standing at the door, staring blankly.

Such confident words shocked De Bruyne.

Moreover, Huang Kaiwen kept saying "we," which made De Bruyne feel included.

Even though he hadn’t yet worn the first team’s jersey.

April 12th.

The day before the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

After lunch, Guardiola seriously called everyone into the tactical room.

The players were puzzled.

Inzaghi whispered, "What does the coach intend? Our lead from the first leg is quite significant."

"You’ll know when he speaks."

Huang Kaiwen shook his head and said.

He couldn’t guess why Guardiola was so serious.

"Tomorrow is the second leg of the Champions League. I know our lead is considerable, but that’s not what I want to discuss."

Guardiola said, "I lost two items in the dressing room, and I don’t know if any of you have seen them."

Huang Kaiwen immediately looked at Inzaghi.

Inzaghi also looked at Huang Kaiwen, the gold bar he found last time was still at home.

At this moment, Guardiola opened the PPT, showing a photo of a box, and then immediately played another photo.

After seeing the two photos, Inzaghi breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it wasn’t the gold bar, it had nothing to do with him.

Guardiola continued, "These are the two items, and I think you might have seen them. Has anyone accidentally taken them home?"

Huang Kaiwen’s eye twitched.

Guardiola keenly noticed Huang Kaiwen’s reaction and gently asked, "Kevin, do you have anything to say?"

"Coach, these two items don’t seem very valuable."

Huang Kaiwen thought for a moment and said.

The Merit Box being misplaced would not generate money on its own.

"Yes, but they are very important to me, so I hope to find my items."

Guardiola said.

Seeing no response from the players, Guardiola was somewhat disappointed and said, "If anyone accidentally took my items, you can privately come to my office or call me. As long as they are returned, I can act as if it never happened."

After Guardiola left.

The players engaged in intense discussion.

Milan players were seeing Guardiola’s expression so serious for the first time.

Gattuso said, "What are those things? I always saw the coach holding that box."

"Pandora’s magic box?"

Ambrosini jokingly said.

Speaking of boxes, he immediately thought of this.

Huang Kaiwen didn’t voluntarily explain what the Merit Box was.

A day later, Milan’s home match resulted in a 1:1 draw with Chelsea, successfully advancing to the semi-finals.

The draw took place in the evening, the upcoming match-ups were Milan VS Barça, Manchester United VS Real Madrid.

The La Liga giants didn’t draw together, causing quite a bit of discussion.

Italian media and German media generally believed that the La Liga teams were favored.

However, Sir Ferguson, Manchester United’s manager, seemed quite happy during an interview after drawing Real Madrid. He said, "Jose is a very outstanding coach, we frequently share drinks after matches. I’ve watched a lot of his matches at Real Madrid this season. They are hard to deal with, but compared to AC Milan, I more hope to face Real Madrid."

The English football community generally did not favor Manchester United’s prospects.

The Times wrote on April 14th, "Whether facing Mourinho or Kevin, Manchester United’s chances are not high. In recent years, Ferguson’s record against Mourinho has consistently been at a disadvantage. Mourinho’s style effectively restrains Ferguson’s wing play; this season, Real Madrid’s counterattack speed is very fast, not much different from Kevin’s Chelsea period. So Ferguson should think of a strategy in advance, and not let their right side become a breakthrough point."

Ever since Gary Neville was seriously injured.

Manchester United couldn’t find a competent right-back. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Several players, like O’Shea, filled in as needed, barely completing their responsibilities.

But Ferguson has never shown interest in introducing a full-back in their prime, instead he’s always wanted Sneijder from Inter Milan rather than Maicon.

Huang Kaiwen also doesn’t quite understand Sir Ferguson’s thinking.

Because Guardiola’s items haven’t been found, the atmosphere within the team remains somewhat strange.

After training that day, Toni Kroos suddenly approached Huang Kaiwen.

"Toni, what’s up?"

Asked Huang Kaiwen, who was changing clothes.

"Kevin, I know who took the coach’s items."

Explained Toni Kroos.

Huang Kaiwen instinctively asked, "Who?"

"The assistant coach, I saw him take the coach’s controller that day."

Kroos whispered, looking toward the door.

"So what’s your current thought?"

Huang Kaiwen paused what he was doing and asked.

"I haven’t decided whether to tell the coach about this, so I wanted to hear your advice."

Kroos hesitated and said.

Huang Kaiwen immediately went into deep thought.

A few seconds later, Huang Kaiwen said, "I advise you not to tell the coach, because you lack evidence. If Mr. Clemente ends up cleared, you’ll offend both the coach and him. They’ve worked together at Barcelona for quite some time. Additionally, the locker room always dislikes those who tattletale to the coach. No matter your reason, if others find out you tattled to the coach, it won’t be good for you."

"Okay, I understand, Kevin."
