In the afternoon of November 7, 2009, Manchester City stadium.
When Cristiano Ronaldo received Sanchez's right cross in the 65th minute of the game and scored his third goal, which was also his first goal in the last three games, the whole city stadium was completely fried.
All the Manchester City fans are chanting the name of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Before, the two goals shortage, coupled with Manchester City's weak attack, made the Portuguese feel more pressure. Even in this game, the first half's 0-0 still made people feel a little worried, for fear that the team still did not perform well.
Unexpectedly, after Yi Bian fought again in the second half, Manchester City ushered in a big outbreak after the attack.
Sanchez's performance on the right side was as active as ever. With the help of the cold shock card, he almost made Burnley's left side a sieve. First, he received Benzema's assist in the 48th minute to open the team's first record. Then, in the 54th minute, he made a breakthrough on the right side to help Benzema score.
Only ten minutes later, Sanchez broke through on the right side and made a low pass to the left side of the goal. Cristiano Ronaldo beat the ball to the goal and changed the score to 3-0.
Manchester city changed the first half of the decline, the second half was very active.
The atmosphere of the whole city stadium became very warm.
While all the fans were immersed in the overwhelming atmosphere of the team on the field, the live TV camera suddenly turned to the sideline again and saw that the game was once again put into the big list. Brazil superstar Kaka, who was sitting on the bench, was warming up on the sideline.
In fact, he's been warming up for the whole game.
It's November now, it's cold, and the substitutes need to keep warm up to keep warm.
During the half-time, Kaka, like all the substitute players, stayed on the field to warm up. In the second half, he kept leaving the bench and went to the side to warm up alone.
Manchester City fans have been waiting for Kaka. It's been four months since he joined in July. They are waiting for Kaka's comeback all the time. Especially in these two games, he is in the big list and may appear at any time.
It's 3-0 on the court. Should we go to Kaka at this time?
"Kaka!"
Inside the stadium, a cry from the fans came from an unknown stand.
Through the live camera, we can clearly see that Kaka, after hearing the sound, looks up to the stand, grins, shows his white teeth, and smiles, he is still so kind and sunny.
He is still the young man.
"Kaka!! KAKA
More and more fans are spontaneously calling Kaka's name. At first, there is some confusion, but soon it becomes organized. Everyone is calling Kaka with one voice, and everyone's enthusiasm is completely ignited at that moment.
"There was a call from Manchester City fans for Kaka. We saw the whole stadium shouting for Kaka
"City fans have not forgotten Kaka, who has been with the team for four months and has been injured for four months, but City fans have been waiting for him to come back
"But the power to decide whether Kaka can play or not is not in the fans, nor in Kaka, but in the hands of the head coach
"As early as in the last round, Kaka was included in the list, but after the alpine game, he explained that the reason why he didn't arrange Kaka to play was that Birmingham's playing style worried him a little. He was afraid that Kaka would be injured again, so he finally chose other people."
"But this time, Manchester City have already won, and it's home game. Maybe we should consider the cold weather..."
"Well, we see the cold on the sidelines waving."
The eyes of all fans in the city stadium are staring at the coach seat of the home team. As soon as they see the high cold waving to Kaka, the cheers immediately swept the whole stadium.
All the Manchester City fans cheered from the bottom of their hearts because their voice was heard by the cold.
Gao Han called Kaka to his side, got close to his ear, and reminded him loudly, "I don't need you to work hard, and I don't need you to work hard. I just need you to protect yourself, get familiar with the rhythm of the game, understand what I mean?"
"I see. Don't worry, boss."
"Go ahead."
When Kaka quickly took off his coat, tidied up his trousers and walked to the edge of the court, the whole city stadium broke out again.
All the fans were shouting Kaka's name in unison.
Time fixed in the 71st minute, taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Manchester City made a substitution.
Midfield player Kaka has replaced defender sabaletta and city have adjusted their lineup.
The whole city stadium was bathed in the cheers of tens of thousands of fans, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and other players, who quickly came to the sidelines, hugged Kaka and celebrated his return to the field.
After four months' absence, Kaka finally appeared on the stage.
From the sound captured by the live camera, more teammates are reminding Kaka to be careful.
"This city team is finally in order now."
"From the field of this set of lineup, there is no doubt that the cold as the central axis, the front is Cristiano Ronaldo, the midfield is Kaka, in the middle is David Silva and Modric, the delay is Harvey Alonso, the goalkeeper position is Cech, are the cold's love, and many are from Atletico Madrid."
"It's really exciting. We have every reason to expect that after Kaka's comeback, the cold team will bring more surprises."
"Of course, this game is just Kaka's first comeback. After four months of injury, we can't ask him to perform well in his first game, especially when he has just joined Manchester City
Facts have also proved that the debut of Kaka did not bring many surprises.
Just after the operation, Kaka was more cautious and careful when he came on the court. He handled the ball more quickly and was mainly safe. At the same time, he tried to avoid physical contact with the other side's defenders.
But there is a very obvious change that Manchester City has a fixed connection point at the front of the penalty area, from midfield to front court, one link to another, and the whole midfield and front court are revitalized.
Especially in an attack, Benzema suddenly rushed to the left side of the penalty area and raised his hand to ask for the ball, which opened Burnley's center back, while Kaka quickly pushed forward and took away the defensive players at the front of the penalty area.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who had been ambushing on the left, cut in from the left to the middle. After receiving a pass from David Silva, he volleyed from the outside of the penalty area and hit the crossbar with no one to defend.
Although not able to score, but Manchester City's this time with or play very wonderful.
The empathy between Benzema, Sanchez, Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo is striking.
Alpine cold in the field is also straight to see nod.
Today's Kaka is difficult to maintain the rapid dribbling breakthrough of previous years. He needs to slow down, but slowing down does not mean that he has no threat. He should make himself smarter and more comprehensive.
In fact, Gao has always felt that AC Milan's use of Kaka is somewhat biased.
There is no doubt that Kaka's high-speed dribbling in the middle has been maximized under AC Milan's tactical system, but his advantages in other aspects have not been fully exploited, which makes Kaka look like a fresh recruit.
As the person who can bring Kaka to European football, alpine knows better than anyone that Kaka can develop more comprehensively.
Now, he's back.
Long time no see, Kaka!
…………
…………
Kaka's 20 minute appearance immediately became the focus of the world's major media newspapers the next day.
In contrast, city's 3-0 win over Burnley was taken for granted.
In the 20 minutes of his debut, Kaka played very smoothly without any mistakes. The pass success rate was 100%. However, they were all smooth transition balls. There was no threatening pass. He was very active in running and had a wide range of activities.
It should be said that after four months away, back to the league's first show, this is a regular report card.
But there were two impressive points in the game. One was the time when Kaka and Benzema pulled apart the defenders to create a starting point for Cristiano Ronaldo, and the other was when Kaka was invaded by the other side's defenders and fell to the ground.
At that time, the whole Manchester City team rushed up from top to bottom, and captain Harvey Alonso was the first to put pressure on the referee, believing that the other side's foul was intentional and should be severely punished, and the referee also gave a yellow card warning.
Later, it turned out that Kaka didn't matter, it was just a false alarm.
However, judging from the spontaneous reaction of Manchester City players this time, everyone thinks that the unprecedented unity in Manchester City's dressing room, especially the cold lineage, has become an indispensable force in Manchester City's dressing room.
The highlight of the Premier League is Arsenal's 4-1 away win over wolves, Liverpool's 2-2 home draw with Birmingham, and Chelsea's 1-0 victory over Manchester United with Terry's corner.
After the end of this round, Manchester City scored 36 points, while Chelsea scored 33 points, Arsenal scored 28 points, Manchester United scored 22 points and Tottenham Hotspur scored 22 points.
As for Liverpool, they only got 19 points and fell to seventh place in the league.
It can be said that up to now, the weaknesses and shortcomings of Liverpool have been exposed.
After the 12th round of the league, the European League stopped again, ushering in two weeks of national team competition day. After the cold, Dunga did not recruit Kaka in this period of national team training, which made Kaka better training in two weeks.
Two weeks later, the 13th round of the Premier League, Manchester City away to challenge Liverpool.
Due to the upcoming decisive battle in the group stage of the Champions League in the middle of the week, and the influence of the national team, Benitez rotated the lineup, while Gao Han attacked the weakness of Liverpool, and finally won the 2-1 away game.
Kaka is still in the 70th minute, the team 2-0 lead under the circumstances of the substitute, the performance is still standard.
This round, Chelsea won wolves, Manchester United won Everton 3-0, only Arsenal lost to Sunderland 0-1 away.
A week later, in the 14th round of the Premier League, Manchester City played at home against Hull City.
Blue moon took a 1-0 lead with Sanchez's goal just before the end of the first half.
After Yi Bian fought again in the second half, Hull City were still very tenacious, holding city's attack.
Kaka came off the bench in the 68th minute.
It was precisely in the 82nd minute that Kaka pulled back to catch the ball, got rid of the defensive player, pushed forward with the ball and crossed to the right. Sanchez put in the ball at high speed, caught up with the ball and passed the ball in front of the door. Brad, the opponent's midfield, made a mistake in defense and clearance, resulting in the Oolong ball.
Manchester City beat Hull City 2-0 at home.
But the most shocking game in this round is that Chelsea beat Arsenal 3-0 away with Drogba's scoring twice and Vermaelen's own goal.
In the 15th round, before visiting city stadium to challenge Manchester City, Scolari's team played an amazing form.
