Chapter 1288 After the Equalizer
Chapter 1288 After the Equalizer
There was a huge cheer at the Manchester City Stadium when Kaka unexpectedly headed the football away from Marcelo, then rushed into the penalty area and volleyed the football from a small angle directly into the goal.
Everyone is cheering for Kaka.
And John Mortensen was also very excited: "Beautiful goal! Beautiful! Kaka's sudden start is too fast, Marcelo can't catch up at all! This Kaka is the Kaka we used to be very familiar with! He is back! He is completely back!"
Alan Hansen was equally excited: "What an incomparable and wonderful goal! Kaka's goal helped Manchester City equalize. This goal is very important to Manchester City! I don't know how Mourinho and Florentino will feel when they see Kaka's goal!"
The TV broadcast seemed to hear him too, cutting to a close-up of Mourinho.
In the close-up, Mourinho is sitting on the coach's bench, expressionless.
Although I can't see his thoughts, one thing is certain-he will definitely not be very happy after losing the ball.
Then the camera cut to Kaka.
After the goal, he pointed to the sky with his hands and made the classic celebration, thank God.
And his teammates also flocked to hug him.
Rong Guang didn't go to celebrate the goal with them. He ran to the goal, picked up the football, then ran back to the center circle with his arms in his arms, put the football in the center circle, exited the center circle, and waited for the kick-off.
The game isn't over yet, it's just an equalizer now, and his goal is to win.

"I don't know what mood Mourinho is in, but Florentino must have regretted it, ha!" John Mortensen took over the words of his partner Alan Hansen. "Such a Kaka, with good athletic performance and good jersey sales, he is definitely not willing to sell... But who knew that Kaka could have such a performance in the new season at the time? Kaka got rid of the groin injury overnight, and he seemed to be several years younger overnight. Do you still remember how the media commented on Kaka's transfer to Manchester City at that time? It's not just Florentino and Mourinho who are being slapped in the face now!"
Kaka and his team-mates finally finished celebrating, and with a smile on his face, he waved to the Manchester City fans in the stands.
The Real Madrid fans who came with the team were silent.
They have mixed feelings.
Kaka’s two seasons in Real Madrid were unsatisfactory, so many fans don’t like him, especially after the news that he played in the World Cup with an injury, the media criticized Kaka for recuperating at the club, but went to the national team to work hard. For the World Cup, he even ignored the interests of the club. He is a complete hypocrite and selfish.
Many fans also hold this view, thinking that Kaka has a high salary, but he has not shown a level that matches his salary at all.It is a scourge for a person like him to stay in Real Madrid, and he can do nothing but eat and drink for nothing.
When Florentino announced Kaka's transfer and departure, they were very happy, feeling that Real Madrid finally got rid of a burden.They also laughed at Manchester City, which is so stupid and rich in money. They even dared to take over Kaka. They simply don't know how to write death. I believe they will regret it soon!
When Kaka left, it was almost impossible to describe the mood of some Real Madrid fans with celebrating.
But now, seeing that Kaka used such a beautiful goal to help Manchester City equalize the score, those Real Madrid fans who gloated over their misfortune didn't know what to say.
Moreover, Kaka's subconscious action also exposed his true thoughts about Real Madrid.
When playing for Real Madrid, there was a match against AC Milan. Kaka once said before the game that if he scored a goal in the game, he would not celebrate.
But against Real Madrid, he scored and celebrated.
What does this mean?
It shows that in his heart, although Real Madrid and AC Milan are both former clubs, their status is completely different.
He never complained about his two seasons in Real Madrid, and he never said a bad word about Real Madrid, but he still showed his true thoughts unintentionally.
Without hatred, there is no revenge.
But I still have to vent the depression in my heart, right?
He vented it with this goal.
※※※
After finishing the celebration, Kaka walked back. He took his eyes off the stands, passed many people on the field, and landed on Rong Guang.
In this game, he scored ahead of Rongguang, and it was such an important and crucial goal.He still has the mentality to compare himself with Rong Guang.
Now he is a little proud of himself.
But he quickly noticed the football in front of Rongguang. The football was lying quietly in the middle circle. No Real Madrid players stepped forward, which meant that the ball was not placed by Real Madrid players. Who would guess?
Of course it's an honor.
Why did Rong Guang put the ball in the middle circle?
The meaning is also very simple, now we are only a draw, what is there to be happy about a draw at your own home court?
Thinking of this, Kaka frowned slightly.
I was so happy to celebrate after scoring a goal, but I forgot this...
From this point of view, I am still a little worse than Rong Guang... Tsk!
Thinking of this, Kaka suppressed his smile and ran back to his own half at a faster speed.The game is not over yet, they want to win.
※※※
But how easy is it for them to win?
After conceding the ball, Mourinho did not lose his composure. He didn't even have time to think about whether Kaka's performance in Manchester City would make him regret it. What he considered was what to do after conceding the ball.
When the game restarted, Real Madrid quickly shrunk their front line even harder than before. They were going to completely defend and counterattack.
Obviously, in Mourinho's view, scoring an away goal and being able to draw with Manchester City is already a very good result.Being able to return to the home court with this result will greatly increase the chances of Real Madrid eliminating Manchester City.
And he shrank the defense, but he didn't give up the counterattack at the same time.In his opinion, Manchester City is definitely not reconciled to a draw, they will definitely counterattack, and there will be a lot of space behind them who will go all out to attack. As long as Real Madrid can seize the opportunity to fight back, they will have a chance to score again!
Of course Benitez knows what's going on, but he has no other choice. If he can't win at home, it will be very difficult to play away. He knows that this may prevent the team from even getting a draw at home. But sometimes, as a head coach, you can't just blindly seek stability, you have to bet when it's time to bet.
In this regard, his opponent Mourinho is a very good gambler. He often makes some crazy moves in the game, such as replacing all forwards in one go, so that there are four forwards on the court.
He gambles so wildly, and he often wins the bets. It has to be said that he is really lucky.
Benitez now also intends to take a gamble.
He allowed his players to attack Real Madrid's goal.
He wanted to see if these players under him could have the courage and ability to resist fate when they faced a difficult and dangerous situation again after more than one season of smooth sailing.
※※※
The Real Madrid players also felt at first that when Manchester City attacked aggressively, it must be their chance to play a quick counterattack.
Cristiano Ronaldo is eagerly waiting to use his speed to ravage Manchester City's defense in the final period of the game, and strive to complete a hat-trick at Manchester City's home court, which will be his best revenge for glory.
But when Manchester City's indiscriminate bombing really started, the Real Madrid players realized that the situation was not as optimistic as they thought.
At least there are not so many opportunities to fight back.
When Manchester City attacked, they wanted to intercept the ball and counterattack directly, but found that the ball was difficult to intercept.
Even if the ball is stolen, Manchester City will immediately launch an on-the-spot counterattack.It made it difficult for the Real Madrid players who had the ball to organize an effective counterattack. Either the ball that had just been broken was lost again, or the football was delayed due to the interference of Manchester City's counter-robbing players. As a result, the Manchester City players quickly returned to the defense.
And if Manchester City completes the attack with a shot, then in addition to the front trident, everyone else will run back immediately and retreat to organize the defense.
The trident in the frontcourt is responsible for counter-grabbing and interference. It would be great if the ball can be intercepted directly.
However, Manchester City's offense was not able to break through Real Madrid's goal for a while. After all, they have to focus on two tasks, and they must think about returning to defense when attacking.
In this way, the two sides have been in a stalemate, and the game has progressed to the last 10 minutes.
No. 80 minutes, the score is still 1:1 tie, no change.
The Manchester City fans in the stands were a little anxious, while the singing and cheers of the Real Madrid fans were much louder.They seem to have seen the draw come to hand.
Real Madrid fought back as Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled to the edge of the box and forced a shot, but Godin's close-knit shot was too square and too weak.
He was held directly in Joe Hart's arms.
After catching Cristiano Ronaldo's ball, Joe Hart didn't let himself continue to lie on the ground, but jumped up from the ground as if he had been loaded with a spring, and rushed to the edge of the penalty area with the football in his arms.
Then he just threw the football out.
Before he threw it, he had already seen the target...
"Rong—!!" Joe Hart yelled as he threw the football.
The football was flung from his hands into glory.
All eyes were also focused on the football, flying towards the glory along with the spinning ball.
