Chelsea Lab

"Three touches in a substitute appearance, an assist in four minutes, then injured. AC Milan's super talent, Huang Kaiwen, has already been injured twice since the season began. According to the San Siro groundskeeper, it is a pitch issue; because they have to share the stadium with Inter Milan, they cannot switch to a grass variety more suitable for technical players. Only when Milan owns its own stadium can they guarantee player safety. We remain non-committal on that, but Huang Kaiwen's injuries are indeed a problem for Milan. Perhaps he is simply injury-prone by nature, and Milan's high salary may not be yielding the expected results." — La Gazzetta dello Sport

Waking up in the morning, Huang Kaiwen saw this report.

They were absolutely right.

He, Huang, was a glass cannon—what were they going to do about it?

After getting injured yesterday, he recovered quickly thanks to Gianni Nanni's treatment, which actually made Huang Kaiwen feel a bit uncomfortable.

He had been prepared to head over to the Inter side, buy some mate tea, and become a permanent fixture in the stands, yet they were telling him he could make it back for the Champions League?

Milan Lab had evolved under the leadership of Gianni Nanni, and life was becoming increasingly difficult for him, Huang.

Seeing Huang Kaiwen's gloomy expression, Barbara gently comforted him: "This isn't your fault, don't worry. La Gazzetta dello Sport has been targeting you too much lately; I'm planning to have a word with them."

"Sure, go ahead."

Huang Kaiwen nodded.

Even though he wasn't playing, it wasn't right for them to keep bad-mouthing him in the papers.

"Albert."

Once Barbara left for work, Huang Kaiwen called for his butler.

"Sir."

The Mediterranean-looking butler stood straight as a board, bowing with the precision of a Japanese professional.

"Call and order me a nice wheelchair. The leather upholstery must be tanned by Hermès."

"Very good, sir."

After Albert left, Huang Kaiwen began to feel bored again.

He suddenly realized a problem: he couldn't go out to have fun when he was injured.

After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with the idea of a custom wheelchair.

After all, for him, a wheelchair was what a sports car was to CR7.

If he, Huang, lost his wheelchair, it would be like the West losing Jerusalem.

Later that evening, Barbara returned and excitedly hugged Huang Kaiwen's head, peppering him with kisses. Once he was out of breath, she excitedly announced: "Darling, I've taken a position at the Milan club!"

He hadn't expected the young lady to prepare to take over the club so quickly.

Huang Kaiwen asked: "What position?"

"Public Relations Office, mainly responsible for the club's liaison with the media," Barbara said, as if presenting a treasure. "In a while, there won't be any more newspapers saying bad things about you."

"Go for it!"

Huang Kaiwen gave the young lady a thumbs-up.

Regardless, it was a good thing to get the media to quiet down.

That night, the excited "female knight" didn't spare him, the patient. Since it wasn't his thigh that was injured this time, Huang Kaiwen was miserably ravaged by the new Milan socialite.

Before the second round of matches, Kaka came to the house to visit Huang Kaiwen. The two played video games for a few hours before Kaka headed home.

Young Kaka had nothing in his head but God, football, and games.

In the second round, they played away against Bologna.

Huang Kaiwen watched on TV as Kaka scored and assisted.

Kaka had been truly fierce these past few years. A player with such powerful breakthrough ability was precious, especially since Kaka played through the middle—and everyone knew the defense in the center was much tighter than on the wings.

Therefore, the value of a breakthrough in the middle was even greater.

Both goals were created by Kaka breaking through the center; one came after Inzaghi passed back and Kaka charged into the box for a low shot, and the other was a through ball he provided to Shevchenko while dribbling.

Too strong.

No wonder he could win the Ballon d'Or.

He was truly worthy of being his, Huang's, good brother.

After the match, Huang Kaiwen even called Kaka to congratulate him.

Then the international break began. He didn't know how the schedule was arranged, but Huang Kaiwen couldn't even find Kaka to play games with.

It is worth mentioning that Lieven Maesschalck had been moved by Huang Kaiwen's sincerity, and the Milan side was very cooperative. With Gianni Nanni presiding over Milan Lab, he discovered many hidden risks in the players, which gave Milan a taste of the benefits.

They were very attentive to the invitation of Lieven Maesschalck.

However, the arrival of Lieven Maesschalck caused strong dissatisfaction from Dr. Meersseman. During his first visit to Milan Lab, Lieven Maesschalck had questioned some of Dr. Meersseman's arrangements.

This time, the two had a fierce conflict, which even made it into the newspapers.

The players knew what was up and sided overwhelmingly with the miracle doctor Lieven Maesschalck. The club's attitude was the same, and Huang Kaiwen's favorite team doctor, Dr. Meersseman, left Milan dejectedly with his severance pay.

"I was the one who founded Milan Lab back then. I created the files for every player, and I poured a lot of heart and soul into this place. Many European teams have come here to learn. I used to work very happily with the Milan club, but the honeymoon period is over. Ever since that young lady brought in some inexplicable doctors, things changed. They chose to trust those outsiders. Milan will pay the price for their decision; frequent injuries will seriously affect AC Milan's results."

When Dr. Meersseman was interviewed by Sky Sports, he sounded like a bird crying blood, weeping sadly in front of the public.

Perhaps he really had poured a lot of heart and soul into Milan Lab, but his personal ability was truly lacking—the more he treated, the worse things got.

Barbara, who was watching TV with Huang Kaiwen, pointed at Dr. Meersseman on the screen and said: "This guy is really annoying. Doesn't he know his own level is terrible?"

"Forget it, Dr. Meersseman is a respectable doctor after all," Huang Kaiwen said, patting Barbara's shoulder to soothe her.

Barbara's personality was like a little hedgehog; she targeted whoever provoked her.

After moving from the family company to Milan, she had managed the media relations quite impressively, and Huang Kaiwen hadn't seen any newspapers questioning him during this period.

That was a good thing.

Later that night, while watching the international matches, Inzaghi actually got injured.

Then, Huang Kaiwen discovered Fate Points again.

Damn, the respectable Dr. Meersseman really was a tireless teacher.

[Changed the fate of football star Inzaghi, gained 30 Fate Points]

After the fate was revealed, a scene appeared.

[Lieven Maesschalck believes Inzaghi does not need surgery and opts for conservative treatment]

[Inzaghi returns to the pitch]

[Without undergoing Meersseman's surgery, no hidden risks are left behind]

[Inzaghi's professional career is extended; the recurrence of the hidden risk in 2008 does not happen]

[Inzaghi maintains high efficiency, gradually becoming a substitute after 37, but still maintains a high scoring rate]

[In 2013, Inzaghi chooses to retire]

[Inzaghi lives to be 80 years old; he never marries in his life]

Huang Kaiwen was truly impressed.

He had indirectly facilitated the change of the team doctor, but he hadn't expected so many stars to be affected. This fully demonstrated the "strength" of Dr. Meersseman—without him, every Milan player had become better.

Just when Huang Kaiwen thought it would be hard to see the respectable Dr. Meersseman again, earth-shattering news came from England.

Chelsea announced on their official website that they had invited Dr. Meersseman to serve as their chief team doctor: "Dr. Meersseman's contributions at Milan are there for all to see. Following a club resolution, we have invited Dr. Meersseman to Chelsea to build our own Chelsea Lab, providing the best care for our players. The team will not only provide the best training environment for the players but will also do everything possible to ensure their health."
