7 November 2009, afternoon, Manchester City Stadium.

When the game reached the 65th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo received a cross from the right by Sanchez and scored his third goal of the game, and his first goal in the last three games, the whole city stadium was completely fried.

All the Manchester City fans chanted Cristiano Ronaldo's name in unison.

Previously, the lack of goals in two games, coupled with Manchester City's lack of attack, made the Portuguese feel pressured, and even in this game, the 0-0 in the first half was still a little worrying, for fear that the team would still perform poorly.

Unexpectedly, after the rematch in the second half, Manchester City ushered in a big explosion after the start of the attack.

Alexis Sanchez was as lively on the right as ever, and with the help of Gao Han's assault card, he almost burst Burnley's left into a sieve, first opening the scoring in the 48th minute with an assist from Karim Benzema, and then breaking through on the right to score in the 54th minute.

Just ten minutes later, it was Sanchez who forced his way down the right and crossed low to the left of the goal, where Cristiano Ronaldo slapped in and slotted the ball into the back of the net to make it 3-0.

Manchester City changed the slump in the first half and were very lively in the second half.

The atmosphere in the city stadium became extremely lively.

And just when all the fans were immersed in the atmosphere of the team's momentum on the field, the live TV camera suddenly turned to the sidelines again, and saw that the game was once again put into the squad, and the Brazilian superstar Kaka, who was sitting on the bench, was warming up on the sidelines.

In fact, he was warming up the whole game.

It's already November, it's getting cold, and the substitutes need constant warm-ups to keep their bodies warm.

At half-time, Kaka, like all substitutes, stayed on the pitch to warm up, and in the second half, he kept leaving the bench and running to the sidelines to warm up alone.

Manchester City fans have been waiting for Kaka, four months since he joined in July, and they have been waiting for Kaka's return all the time, especially in these two games, he has been in the squad and may play at any time.

It's already 3-0 on the pitch, shouldn't you get on Kaka at this time?

"Kaka!"

Inside the stadium, from the stands somewhere unknown, a shout from the fans was heard.

Through the live broadcast footage, it can be clearly seen that after Kaka heard the voice, he raised his head and looked at the stands, grinned, showing a mouth full of white teeth, and smiled innocently, he was still so kind and sunny.

He's still the same young man.

"Kaka!!Kaka!!"

More and more fans were spontaneously shouting Kaka's name, and there was some confusion at first, but it soon became organized, everyone was calling Kaka in unison, and everyone's enthusiasm was completely ignited in that moment.

"There was the sound of Manchester City fans calling for Kaka to play, and we saw the whole stadium chanting Kaka. ”

"The Manchester City fans have not forgotten Kaka, who has been with the club for four months and has been recovering from an injury for four months, but the City fans have been silently waiting for his return. ”

"But the power to decide whether Kaka can play is not with the fans, nor with Kaka, but in the hands of head coach Gao Han. ”

As early as the last round, Kaka was placed in the squad, but Gao Han explained after the game that the reason why Kaka was not arranged was that Birmingham's style of play made him a little worried, and he was afraid that Kaka would be injured again, so he finally chose someone else. ”

"But this time, Manchester City has won the game, and it is a home game, Gao Han should probably consider ......"

"Eh, we saw the cold on the sidelines beckoning. ”

The eyes of all the fans in the entire city stadium were fixed on the home team's coach's box, and as soon as they saw Gao Han waving towards Kaka, cheers like a tide swept through the stadium.

All the Manchester City fans cheered from the bottom of their hearts as their cries were heard by Gao Han.

Gao Han called Kaka to his side, leaned into his ear, and reminded him loudly, "I don't need you to work hard, I don't need you to work hard, I just need you to protect yourself, familiarize yourself with the rhythm of the game, understand what I mean?"

"Understood, don't worry, Boss. ”

"Go ahead. ”

When Kaka quickly took off his jacket, straightened his pants, and walked to the sidelines, the entire city stadium erupted again.

All the fans in the stadium chanted Kaka's name in unison.

The clock ticked for the 71st minute, and City made a substitution when they took advantage of a dead goal.

Midfielder Kaka replaced defender Zabaleta and Manchester City made changes to their line-up.

The entire city stadium was bathed in the chorus of cheers from tens of thousands of fans, including players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, who quickly walked to the sidelines to hug Kaka and celebrate his return to the field.

After a four-month absence, Kaka finally made his debut.

And from the sound captured by the live broadcast camera, more teammates are reminding Kaka one after another, asking him to be careful.

"The current Manchester City team is finally in order. ”

Judging from this set of lineups on the field, there is no doubt that the Alpine lineage is the central axis, with Cristiano Ronaldo in the front, Kaka in the midfield, David Silva and Modric in the center, Xavi Alonso in the back, and Cech in the goalkeeper position, all of which are descendants of Gao Han, and many of them are from Atletico Madrid. ”

"It's really exciting and we definitely have reason to expect more surprises from the Alpine team when Kaka returns. ”

'Of course, this game is just Kaka's first comeback, and after four months from injury, we can't expect him to be as impressive as he was in his first game, especially since he's only just joined Manchester City. ”

It also turned out that the debut Kaka did not bring many surprises.

After the surgery, Kaka has been more cautious and cautious since he came on the court, handling the ball quickly and safely, while also trying to avoid physical contact with the opposing defenders.

But there is an obvious change that Manchester City has a fixed point of contact at the front of the penalty area, from the midfield to the front, one link after another, and the entire midfield is alive.

In particular, in one attack, Benzema, who was in the middle, suddenly rushed to the left side of the box and raised his hand for the ball, pulling away Burnley's central defenders, while Kaka quickly stepped forward and took away the defenders at the edge of the box.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who had been lying in ambush on the left, cut inside from the left to the middle, received a pass from David Silva, and unguarded, fired a volley from the edge of the box that hit the crossbar.

Although they couldn't score, Manchester City's combination was very exciting.

The kind of understanding between Benzema, Alexis Sanchez, Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo is eye-catching.

Gao Han also nodded on the sidelines.

It's hard for Kaka to maintain the fast-paced dribble that he did a few years ago, and he needs to slow down, but slowing down doesn't mean he doesn't threaten, he should make himself smarter and more versatile.

In fact, Gao Han has always felt that AC Milan's use of Kaka is a bit biased.

There is no doubt that Kaka's characteristics of high-speed dribbling through the middle have been maximized under AC Milan's tactical system, but his other strengths have not been fully exploited, which makes Kaka look a bit like a trick.

As the person who brought Kaka to European football, Gao Han knows better than anyone that Kaka can be developed more comprehensively.

And now, after a long absence, he is back.

Long time no see, Kaka!

…………

…………

Kaka appeared on the stage for 20 minutes and immediately became the focus of attention in the world's major media newspapers the next day.

In contrast, City's 3-0 win over Burnley was taken for granted.

In the first 20 minutes, Kaka played steadily, with no mistakes, a 100 per cent pass completion rate, but it was all smooth transitions, no threatening passes, active running, and a lot of movement.

It should be said that returning to the league debut after a four-month absence is a decent report card.

But there were two things that impressed in the game, one was when Kaka and Benzemara opened up defenders to create a chance for Cristiano Ronaldo to score, and the other when Kaka was fouled by an opposing defender and fell to the ground.

At that time, the entire Manchester City team rushed from top to bottom, and captain Xavi Alonso was the first to put pressure on the referee, believing that the opponent's foul was deliberate and should be punished severely, and the referee also gave a yellow card warning.

As it turned out, Kaka was fine, just a false alarm.

However, judging from the spontaneous reaction of Manchester City's players this time, everyone believes that the unprecedented unity in the Manchester City dressing room, especially the descendants of Gao Han, has become an indispensable force in the Manchester City dressing room.

The highlight of this round of Premier League fixtures was Arsenal's 4-1 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers, Liverpool's 2-2 draw at home to Birmingham City, and Chelsea's narrow 1-0 win over Manchester United thanks to John Terry's corner.

At the end of the game, Manchester City won with 36 points, Chelsea with 33, Arsenal with 28, Manchester United with 22 and Tottenham Hotspur with 22.

As for Liverpool, they only got 19 points and fell to seventh in the league.

It can be said that the league has played so far, and Liverpool's weaknesses and deficiencies have been exposed.

After the twelfth round of the league, the Europa League was suspended again, ushering in a two-week national team break, and after a cold maneuver, Dunga did not recruit Kaka in this national team training camp, which allowed Kaka to train better in two weeks.

Two weeks later, in the thirteenth round of the Premier League, Manchester City challenged Liverpool away.

With the Champions League group stage coming up in midweek and the impact of the national team competition, Benitez rotated the lineup, while Gao Han targeted Liverpool's weakness and finally won 2-1 away.

Kaka still came off the bench in the 70th minute, with the team leading 2-0, and his performance was still decent.

In this round, Chelsea won Wolves, Manchester United beat Everton 3-0, and only Arsenal lost 1-0 away to Sunderland.

A week later, in the 14th round of the Premier League, Manchester City hosted Hull City.

The Blues took a 1-0 lead just before the end of the first half thanks to Alexis Sanchez's goal.

After the rematch in the second half, the Hull team still showed great tenacity, holding on to Manchester City's attack.

Kaka came off the bench in the 68th minute.

And it was precisely in the 82nd minute that after Kaka retreated to receive the ball, got rid of the defender, advanced with the ball, and passed diagonally to the right side, Sanchez inserted at high speed, caught up with the ball and passed horizontally in front of the goal, and the opponent's midfielder Brad made a mistake in defending and clearing, resulting in an own goal.

Manchester City beat Hull 2-0 at home.

But the most shocking game of this round was Chelsea's 3-0 win away at Arsenal thanks to Didier Drogba's brace and Vermaelen's own goal.

In the fifteenth round, before visiting the City Stadium to take on Manchester City, Scolari's side were in astonishing form.
