Chapter 598: Chapter 597: Disgust Those Who Disgust You
"It’s not like my nod made all the difference, the settlement of the dispute was thanks to the head referee and the control of players from both sides. It was a collective effort, and in the end, we still delivered an exciting game for the fans."
"Gerard is an excellent leader, and I think Riise should listen more to Gerard’s opinions."
"If Gerard renews his contract with Liverpool, I’d even suggest Liverpool give him the captain’s armband. He’s calm, wise, responsible, and has leadership qualities."
Reporter: "Gerard must be thankful for your praise. What about Katie Price? She just announced that she’s willing to fulfill her pre-match promise and have dinner with you or even... spend a wild night!"
Deng Kai was at a loss for words; he realized he needed to address this situation head-on.
Otherwise, these English temptresses would likely not let the Emperor of Manchester City off easily.
He needed to dispel some unrealistic fantasies.
Deng Kai: "In China, we admire women who dare to love and hate, but ’dare to love and hate’ and ’love and hate on a whim’ are definitely two different concepts."
"I don’t want to be too harsh, but I hope Katie Price stops sending those revealing, private photos to my social media accounts."
"Because mostly Feng Te handles my accounts for me, he helps me delete spam so I only see important, sincere messages."
"These past few days, Feng Te has lost weight, thus significantly weakening our bench strength."
"So I hope our Manchester City fans stop egging it on too, especially not with someone like Katie Price. You know what I mean?"
Having said that, Deng Kai left Feng Te looking utterly baffled.
When on earth had he lost weight, oh no... seen it?
The reporters turned their gaze towards Feng Te.
Maxa patted Feng Te on the shoulder: "It’s a shame! I missed the chance to take the blame for Kai... It seems you’ve surpassed me in his heart."
"Oh dear, it seems the student has indeed become the master. You should really look after your teacher more in the future."
Watching Maxa’s figure, Feng Te had an epiphany and said to the media with a smile, "That’s right, I’ve lost weight! If Katie Price really needs some chest massages, I’m completely up for the job."
"In fact, I’m currently studying Thai masseuse techniques, and I’d be quite happy to have something happen with Katie."
"But I also know that our captain would never be interested in someone like Katie Price."
"In this Manchester City, she’s only suited to me. Or maybe, she can go find Liverpool’s Riise, he’s quite a match for her too."
The Manchester City players watching Feng Te were all shaken to the core.
That’s ruthless!
If Feng Te can’t make it, then who can?
This move was quite shrewd.
A whole bunch of English ’model types’ who were not quite proper, led by Katie Price, have been eyeing Deng Kai lately.
Looks, physique, social media presence, prospects, team influence, economic capabilities—
Deng Kai was worth coveting from every angle.
Deng Kai was like a piece of Tang Monk meat.
Deal with one Katie and there would still be thousands of Katies left.
That’s why Deng Kai didn’t even want to formally respond in the first place.
Responding would only generate publicity for the other party and encourage them to try harder.
But now Feng Te had stepped in.
You all want to make Kai’s life miserable? Fine, then I’ll make yours miserable!
Looks, social media presence, prospects, team influence, economic capabilities—I don’t have any of it.
And still insist on doggedly pursuing you, just to see if you are scared!
Even fools would know that if any of these female celebrities got involved with Feng Te, even if it was just one-sided affection from Feng Te, they could forget having anything happen with Deng Kai.
After all, what sort of level is Feng Te on?
Can he be compared with my Kai?
You’re not a plasma TV, so just stay put right here with Tang Fengte.
Feng Te’s move of mutual destruction completely resolved Deng Kai’s worries.
From then on, if those demons dared to get close, Feng Te would just slap back disgustingly.
Apart from Feng Te’s public image, reputation, and popularity suffering, it was almost a perfect method.
And does Feng Te care about all that?
...
"Deng Kai scores twice! Leads the team to a 5-0 comeback against Liverpool!"
"Home comeback! The King of Manchester lives up to his name!"
"Riise blown away! Deng Kai, Ribery, and Maicon take turns outplaying him!"
"Pitch Conflict! After Riise maliciously takes down Deng Kai, Manchester City players gang up on Riise, showing their ironclad spirit!"
"Drill stops working! The Manchester City mafia unite as one; without Deng Kai, no one else stands a chance!"
"Huo Li’er: Manchester City is terrifying! Their protection of Deng Kai goes beyond normal player relationships. I just wanted to say a few words to Deng Kai and I was stopped by more than five people!"
"Maxa: Huo Li’er has the right to talk to his players, but he has no right to talk to Manchester City players. We are under no obligation to accommodate him!"
"Deng Kai: Gerard is an excellent leader, he should wear the captain’s armband for Liverpool!"
"Mutual admiration! Gerard steps up to negotiate with Deng Kai, resolving the pitch conflict, showcasing leadership quality! Becoming the only fig leaf for Liverpool after a five-goal thrashing!"
"Katie Price faces ’downgraded consumption’; Feng Te steps forward, saying that in Manchester City you can only look for someone like me, don’t even think about hooking up with Deng Kai!"
"Manchester City’s victory isn’t just in the EFL Cup semi-final, but also in the Deng Kai defense battle! They defeated both the pitch thug Riise and the field player Katie!"
This EFL Cup semi-final might be the most exciting one in the past five years, even more eye-catching than the finals of previous years.
Whether before the match, during it, or afterwards, there were always plenty of topics.
This made the organizers of the EFL Cup, the English Football League, very happy.
They liked the different things Deng Kai brought to English football.
Can you believe it, a team not even in the top ten of the Premier League, and their attention this season is on par with that of champions like Manchester United and Arsenal?
There’s only one champion, so there are very few teams with championship-level influence.
This causes the real spotlight matches and public attention to be concentrated in just a few games, greatly reducing the value of the league and the value of each team.
Look at Bundesliga, aside from Bayern Munich, who else is there?
And then there’s Serie A, with the Seven Sisters each strong as a dragon, dominating the scene.
So what’s the most exciting league, the one that attracts the most attention and investment?
It’s the league where every team has a lot of traffic.
What should be done?
People didn’t know the answer before.
But now Manchester City seems to have given one.
But as for how exactly Manchester City became popular, people can’t fully explain.
The brotherly bond with Manchester United?
The good relationship between team member Deng Kai and superstars Ronaldo and Beckham?
The romance between the team leader and a female entertainment star?
Magical home game results?
The focused approach to cup games?
The gangster spirit?
It seems like each factor plays a role, but none is key.
This makes those trying to decode "the book of Manchester City" furrow their brows.
It’s baffling.
However, as the other team to reach the EFL Cup final was confirmed, the interest in the EFL Cup hit an all-time high.
Because the other team was... Manchester United!
"Manchester powerhouses unite in the EFL Cup once more! The Manchester derby is about to kick off again!"
"The season’s first trophy is at stake! Peak Manchester United or Deng-style City?"
"Manchester derby revisited! Does the King of Manchester have the upper hand?"
"Sporting Lisbon’s terrifying twins! In their first year joining the Premier League, it is certain that one of them will lift the EFL Cup!"
