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

At dawn.

Sunlight streamed through the cracks in the curtains into the study.

Boas stretched lazily, moved his stiff arms and continued working.

The English Football Association has not yet announced the penalty for Mourinho.

Based on his experience, Mourinho’s suspension will be between one and three matches, depending on how the referee’s post-match report is written.

And that’s assuming Mourinho doesn’t say anything.

As for the appeal?

Chelsea has never succeeded in an appeal.

His experience is not as legendary as reported in the newspapers.

Something about a small café attracting Robson’s attention.

However, he did successfully join Sir Robson’s team and became a data analyst.

As a coach sensitive to players’ technical characteristics, Boas had long noticed the unusual in the football world.

Benitez always brings two toads wherever he goes.

Huang Kaiwen’s former and current coaches, Ancelotti and Capello, are both loyal mysticism enthusiasts.

Their assistant coaches also know quite a few things.

You can see a lot of it in the regular match footage.

This time in the UEFA Champions League and domestic UK events, he needs to coach several matches.

If he doesn’t know some magic, wouldn’t it seem that he, as a coach, is a bit weak?

Boas’s grandmother was a fallen British noble, and she told him mostly stories about King Arthur and the great wizard Merlin.

Boas rubbed his temples and pushed aside ”The History of the Kings of Britain.”

This book was of no help to the things he wanted to learn.

Next to it was ”The Key of Solomon,” but Boas was not very interested in that Jewish stuff.

Under his grandmother’s influence.

He still preferred Merlin’s magic.

He had heard many such mysterious stories since he was a child.

But finding books to understand the principles and learning about magic was very difficult.

What he’s doing now is pulling out relevant material from some books and continuing his in-depth study.

At the same time, he asked friends to help him inquire about related issues.

Boas wasn’t entirely convinced about these matters, but one thing was simply inexplicable—why Kevin, after being injured 85 times, was still the best player in the world.

Before, when Huang Kaiwen wasn’t a Chelsea player, he could ignore it.

But now, thinking about it, it doesn’t make sense no matter how you look at it.

Science really can’t explain what happens to Huang Kaiwen.

Why does he get injured so many times?

And why can he always recover to his best state?

He had read Huang Kaiwen’s injury reports: calf muscles, groin, meniscus, ankle metatarsal, and even ears, eyes, nasal bridge, throat... any one of these could torment a player for an entire career, even possibly threaten their life.

But Huang Kaiwen acts like nothing happened, winning an Olympic silver in the 100m, and again scoring a hat-trick with Mihajlovic-style free kicks against Manchester City, even after so many key athletic points have been injured, he can still shoot penalties at speeds surpassing 200 km/h.

This kind of thing is really not that easy to explain.

If it’s not a curse, there’s no way to explain why Huang Kaiwen’s injuries far exceed those of typical players.

If it’s not divine protection, there’s no way to explain how Huang Kaiwen always recovers.

So Boas felt that mysticism truly existed, but ordinary people just couldn’t grasp it.

”Sigh...”

Boas sighed, pushing ”Harry Potter” aside.

He must be out of his mind to read a children’s book to learn magic.

If he can’t learn real magic, then he might as well put on a show on the sidelines.

He couldn’t let people think Luís André Villas-Boas knew nothing, after all.

Boas decided to turn on the TV to clear his mind, and the Portuguese TV host was gloating that several cars in Real Madrid’s parking lot had lost their wheels.

Boas shook his head.

Such a great club as Real Madrid couldn’t even ensure the security of the training base’s parking lot.

So some things shouldn’t be judged by appearances alone; you need to look deeper.

Who would have thought football could be linked to various mysticism signifiers!

In Boas’s view, mysticism is like a nuclear weapon, you may not use it, but you must possess it, you must understand it, and when an opponent makes a move, you must be able to counter it.

He plans to go to the British Museum later.

After all, Mourinho is suspended, but the lineup is still arranged by Mourinho.

Even in terms of substitutions, he doesn’t have much authority, not needing to prepare too many things.
