12. The superstar of Old Trafford
When the first half of the game ended, the scoreboard was a huge "2-0".
Just five minutes into the game, England rising star Wayne Rooney broke through the visitors' doors, and by this time Qin Goode and his team had not even found their seats.
In extreme passivity, Manchester City had to use ferocious scrambling to stabilize their position, for which they paid two yellow cards.
However, in the last minute of the first half, the old and strong Luis Saha still rewrote the score again, and the Theater of Dreams fell into a frenzy of cheers.
Qin Goode sat in the blue among the visiting fans, but his ears were tingled by the loud noise of more than 65,000 Manchester United fans.
"Damn it!" Sturridge sighed indignantly, "If the previous counterattack could have scored, it wouldn't have been so ugly!" ”
Qin Goode nodded in agreement: "Samaras is too slow, and his judgment of the landing point is too poor, he is more than 1.9 meters tall, but he can't grab Ferdinand, it's better to let you play, at least your speed is a big advantage, and it's best for defensive counterattacks." ”
"It's a pity you're not the manager." Sturridge shrugged.
"But...... Your body is too brittle and your confrontation ability is weak, and the opponent's tough guy may be able to abolish you with one kick. "Qin Gude raised the idea from the bottom of his heart.
Sturridge snorted, "I'm going to be one-on-one with you tomorrow!" See who can hit whom! ”
Qin Goode had no choice but to roll his eyes: although Sturridge's body is relatively brittle, it is according to the standards of the Premier League, and with his current body, he can't catch up at all......
After a brief lull, the second half whistled again.
Manchester City replaced injured goalkeeper Nicky Weaver and aging midfielder Claudio Reyna with young goalkeeper and Sun Jihai.
Qin Gude couldn't help but be in good spirits.
Sun Jihai did not retreat to the back line or midfield, but faced Ryan Giggs directly as a right midfielder.
The 33-year-old Ryan Giggs is already a veteran of the twilight of the sunset, and the 29-year-old Sun Jihai is at his peak, and he has just come on the field, and his body is extremely abundant, however, in the face of Giggs's dribbling rush, Sun Jihai's speed and explosiveness are obviously not comparable, and he can only rely on small movements and fouls to stop the Welshman's sharp breakthrough.
What's more, behind Giggs, there is also a black and hard desperate third master Evra.
After only ten minutes on the field, Sun Jihai's jersey was no longer clean, and Richards behind him was replaced in advance by the head coach who was worried that he would make another mistake because he was not calm and had a yellow card on his back.
In the 72nd minute, Manchester United, who saw the three-point shooting, finally slowed down its attack, but Manchester City, which launched a counterattack, relied on defender Trabelsi's forward attack to pull a goal back, and thousands of Manchester City fans thought they saw the hope of equalizing and couldn't help but sing the team song loudly.
Ferguson, who was outside the field, was furious, and while directing Park Ji-sung to go into battle, he roared in the ears of captain Neville.
Manchester United, who regained their footing, made a comeback, and the biggest superstar of the Premier League, Cristiano Ronaldo, with a galloping sprint, received a precise long pass from Scholes before Manchester City captain Dunn and goal-scorer Trabelsi, and a shocking sideways volley completely killed the suspense of this Manchester derby! City's young back-up goalkeeper was so stunned that he couldn't even move his feet.
Ronaldo raised his arms high and accepted the worship of nearly 70,000 Red Devils fans in the embrace of his teammates.
"This bastard ......," Sturridge snorted, "someday, I want him to look good......"
"I heard...... This guy can be selected for the Ballon d'Or......" Campbell sighed, "and sure enough, he is not on the same level as the first team." ”
Cristiano Ronaldo, Neville, Patrice Evra, Ryan Giggs, Edwin van der Sar, Paul Scholes, Rio Ferdinand, Wayne Rooney, Saha, Ji-Sung Park, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer...... Qin Goode glanced at the Manchester United players who raised their arms and shouted, turned around and walked into the audience tunnel.
The tunnel was long and narrow, slightly chilly, and many Manchester City fans couldn't help but pick up their pace.
The afternoon sun lazily sprinkled on his body, gradually dispelling the cold air all over his body.
He gulped in the fresh air outside, leaving behind the still cheering red giant city-
Maybe even Qin Gude himself didn't notice it, after feeling the strength of the sworn enemy in the same city at close range, he worked even harder in training, and even made several coaches a little worried about his mental state.
After getting familiar with the roads, he no longer took public transportation to go to the community school every day, but carried the ball all the way, so he had to leave from the Sun family's mansion an hour early to ensure that he could barely reach the school.
He knows that a yellow race, especially China, a weak football country, he will not get much respect locally, not only in school, even those teammates in the academy, not all look at him as friendly as Campbell and Sturridge, but he doesn't care, as long as the coach does not refuse to teach, even if the tone is a little worse, he can be at ease, plus his cheerful and easy-going personality and barely able to communicate in English, and most of his teammates get along quite well.
In 2007, Qin Goode was officially registered with the FA and qualified to represent the club in the youth team, but his various qualities are still difficult to compare with the advanced British teenagers, and even if he can occasionally play, it is just to kill time.
He also was
However, compared with the cheerful and easy-going Sun Jihai, he is really a little silent, and his long-term life in Belgium has not given him time to become familiar with English.
Moreover, he has recently become obsessed with a popular online game - Yamaguchiyama, and after hearing that Qin Gude is not interested and does not accept proselytizing, he has no contact with this little fellow who only knows how to run around the world with the ball......
Around the Chinese New Year, Qin Goode also had the courage to ask the coach for leave, and the kind-hearted Brit readily agreed to his request.
But he only stayed in Dalian for about ten days in a hurry, underwent Qin Yuanshan's most detailed examination, and after confirming that Manchester City's British training had no effect on his body, he returned to Manchester.
Although a Manchester City academy player, he has little affection or loyalty to the club, and he even lurks at Old Trafford to watch Manchester United's Champions League games, such as the classic 7-1 Red Wolves Roma tragedy......
In the 06-07 season, Manchester United got rid of its old rival Arsenal early in the Premier League, established its position with Chelsea, and although it stumbled a little in the Champions League group, after entering the knockout round, it once again proved its status in European football with a two-legged double defeat to Lille and a home win over Roma, thus advancing to the semi-finals.
In the semi-finals of this year's Champions League, the Premier League team once again dominated the third, forming Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool to encircle and suppress AC Milan, and also established the status of the Premier League's "European first league".
Before the first leg of the semi-finals, Manchester United suffered an unexpected blow, Ferdinand, Vidic, Gary Neville, Sylvester and other seven main players could not play due to injury, and the central defender was directly unavailable, Ferguson had to temporarily send Evra, Heinze, Brown, O'Shea to deal with AC Milan's strong attackers such as Shevchenko, Crespo, Inzaghi, Kaka and other strong attackers, and because of too many injuries, Dong Fangzhuo rarely entered the substitute list.
In the opening five minutes, Cristiano Ronaldo took advantage of a mistake by Milan goalkeeper Dida to score the Rossoneri with a header. I thought that Manchester United would be able to stabilize their position and gain the upper hand, but they didn't expect that it would become Kaka's acting time alone.
This season, Kaka is at the peak of his career, and he is almost unstoppable, and he single-handedly shatters Ferguson's makeshift patchwork backline, Heinze, Evra, Carrick, Fletcher, Brown and others, facing the galloping Kaka, every turn, every tackle is like slow motion. These big players who can be in charge of the Premier League are as clumsy and ridiculous as babies who have just learned to walk, and in just fifteen minutes, Kaka has allowed Kaka to stage two wonderful performances of walking alone and entering Longtan alone, and in the face of the Dutch goalkeeper Van der Sar's abandonment attack, he even has room to adjust a little, and easily broke through the opponent's guarded door.
The entire Dream Theater almost fell into a dead silence, but Qin Gude felt his blood and blood swelling, and his limbs couldn't help but tremble slightly: this was his favorite star in his previous life, and it was also the star he regretted the most!
It was the pinnacle of Kaka's career, and in a few months' time, he would receive the supreme award of professional football, and the still youthful Mero duo would become the undisputed number one superstar in the world, and then ...... Begin to fall.
However, Manchester United has never lacked people to turn the tide, in the AC Milan two defensive core Maldini, Gattuso injured one after another, the youngest player in the team, England's core for ten years, Wayne Rooney stepped forward, in the second half with two small angle bursts to open the door of Milan, the second goal was in the last half of injury time staged a stunner!
The little fat man, who still had lush curly hair at this time, became the hero of Manchester United once again, even Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo seemed to be supporting characters, and Milan's superstars - Shevchenko, Crespo, Maldini, Inzaghi, Nesta, Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf...... It's just the backdrop on this grand stage.
Milan's players were a little helpless in the face of the cheering Theatre of Dreams, but the results of the two away goals were not unacceptable, and they were confident of a comeback back at the San Siro. After exchanging jerseys with Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka followed his team-mate towards the tunnel with his head bowed, and Pirlo patted him on the head and whispered comfort to his younger team-mate.
"Kaka! Ricardo! Qin Gude jumped off the audience, and in the already boiling Old Trafford stadium, not many people even noticed his existence, he shouted the name of his idol and ran all the way.
"That kid is a fast runner," Inzaghi smiled and raised his elbow to push Kaka behind him, "Are your fans very good at running?" ”
Kaka slapped him and walked briskly, he has been a star player since he was a child, he has long been accustomed to receiving the enthusiasm and admiration of fans from all over the world, in front of the fans, he will always be an elegant and sunny gentleman, even if he has just lost the game, he has to show a faint smile.
"Hello!" He took the initiative to wave his hand to the black-haired and yellow-skinned little fan.
"No, yes, go, Real Madrid!" The fan shouted out in English word by word, "That will abolish you!" ”
Kaka was not familiar with English, but he understood this extremely simple sentence, he was slightly stunned in place, and the smile on his face was a little reluctant: "Thank you, I know you like me and Milan, I won't consider leaving now." Because of the pinnacle of this season's Champions League, in the past few months, the phone calls between Milan and his agent have been blown up by many giants, and Milan fans even organize groups to come to the training ground every day to pull banners: "Don't snatch our Kaka!" ”
He thought the little black-haired fan was just like them, and he could only promise him that he would still be here for next season.
But the fan shook his head insistently: "Your characteristics are destined not to be suitable for Real Madrid, and Real Madrid superstars are too many and the pressure is too much......"
The already noisy Old Trafford stadium suddenly erupted in a loud cheer, and it turned out that Ferguson and his disciples were raising their arms to the die-hard ones.
Kakata pointed to his ear to show that he didn't quite understand, and then to the players' tunnel, revealing a wry smile.
Qin Gude was a little anxious, he simply reversed what he had just said: "If you want to go to Real Madrid, please go early, otherwise staying in Milan today will just be a waste of time!" ”
Kaka's face couldn't help but be a little ugly: this fan ...... I don't seem to be a fan of Milan......
"Also, watch your groin!" The fan was afraid that he wouldn't understand the word, so he gestured hard at Kaka's inner thigh.
Kaka jumped backwards almost reflexively with his legs between his legs, like a frightened rabbit.
