Chapter 1246: Rivalry
“kakaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa――!!!”
John Mortson, who was in the commentary seat, slammed up from his seat, holding the microphone in his hand and chanting in a long voice.
Although he had only said before that Benitez should have replaced Kaka......
But that's football, you never know what's going to happen in the next second, even though your previous speculations and judgments sound well-founded and logically unassailable.
But logic is almost non-existent in football.
Especially in a single game.
You can never guess what the next second will look like based on what happened in the previous second.
"Kaka! Nice volley! His insertion was just right, and so was Rong's pass! ”
"It's no secret that Rong and Kaka don't have a good relationship, but looking at the cooperation of the two people in this goal, they are like friends who have worked together for many years, Rong didn't look up to observe Kaka's position before passing the ball, and at the same time Kaka didn't hesitate at all, rushed straight over, as if he knew that Rong would pass the football to him, and Rong did pass the football over...... This kind of cooperation caught Bolton off guard - they patronized the defense of Ibrahimovic, but forgot about Kaka......"
After the goal, Kaka pointed to the sky with both hands and made his trademark celebration – thank God.
His teammates rushed up and hugged him.
And Rong Guang also waved his fist on the spot after passing the assist - it can be seen that he still values this goal. He also doesn't want the team to really end the game with a draw.
But excitement is excitement, and he didn't go up to hug Kaka to celebrate.
There were also Manchester City team-mates who ran up to him and celebrated the goal with him. After all, in this goal, the function of glory may be greater than that of Kaka. If it weren't for his previous series of breakthroughs and feints that drew Bolton's defenders to his side, how could Kaka have had such an easy chance to shoot?
Of course, Kaka's volley was also very good, and the timing of the insertion and the decisiveness of the shot were great. But without the series of excellent performances before Glory, then Kaka's shot in the end would not have had a chance to be used.
So on the pitch, the Manchester City players split into two groups to celebrate the goal.
A group of people gathered around Kaka, and there were more of them because Kaka had scored the goal. There was also a group of people surrounding Glory, and there were few of them.
For City's players, it's a habit for them to celebrate in two circles after a goal.
Since last season, Ibrahimovic has been like this since he arrived. At first, they were a little uncomfortable, afraid that they would be unhappy if they went to celebrate the goal with Ibrahimovic. Or go and celebrate the goal with glory, what will Ibrahimovic have in mind.
But then they found out that they were overly worried. Neither Ibrahimovic nor Glory, don't care. So I was relieved to boldly split into two groups to celebrate, and who to go to celebrate the goal did not depend on the relationship between them, but only on who they were closer to......
After Kaka arrived, the celebration of the goal was still divided into two groups, and the players were already familiar with the road and there was no hesitation.
It's just that this scene is really incredible to outsiders.
This form of celebration is nothing short of a stark reminder of the disunity within Manchester City, which is divided into several small factions that will not be together when celebrating a goal......
Through the way of celebration, everyone determined that there was indeed a contradiction between Glory and Ibrahimovic, and now Glory and Kaka are not on good terms.
So what makes outsiders very unbelievable is that Manchester City is so divided internally, and this team can still win the Premier League and the Champions League.
Generally speaking, a team that is not united is not fighting to speak of, so how did Manchester City do it?
The poor relationship between Glory and Ibrahimovic did not divide the team, but instead kept the two of them up on the pitch, and the two of them pushed the team forward.
Now that there is one more Kaka, you can imagine how fierce the competition between these three people will be. But their rivalry doesn't completely upset the balance in the dressing room, it only benefits the team.
This is what makes outsiders puzzled.
Why do they have contradictions but don't fall apart?
Why is it that this happens to other teams and only makes the team plummet, but in the case of Manchester City, it is the opposite result?
Why?
Outsiders can't see through this Manchester City team at all.
Because there are a few things in this team that can't be handled by common sense...... Tease.
※※※
Thanks to Kaka's goal, City regained the lead. Bolton's freshly lit flame of hope was half extinguished by Kaka's goal.
At this time, it was exactly ten minutes after Bolton scored the second goal to equalise.
In the 57th minute, City regained the lead.
After scoring the goal, Manchester City continued to launch a fierce attack towards Bolton's goal, and the waves of attacks rose and fell.
Bolton couldn't even play Manchester City's counter-attack, and they could only shrink back and pray not to concede more goals.
It's a pity that such a wish has not been realized.
In the 71st minute, David Silva crossed from the flank, and Ibrahimovic rubbed it when he got forward, but instead of rubbing the ball towards goal, it rubbed diagonally behind.
The glory that was supposed to be inserted into the middle and ready to grab a header ran by.
Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough, and he immediately stopped and turned around, then jumped up and kicked the football!
Hang the golden hook upside down with one foot!
He hit the ball with a solid right instep with his right foot, which changed direction and flew towards goal.
Speaking of Bolton Wanderers' goalkeeper Jasko Lainen's second half of the game, he was helpless in the face of Kaka's volley, and he couldn't do anything.
This time he was faced with the upside-down golden hook of glory, and he was still powerless......
This time he didn't even have time to make a save, and the ball had already flown into the goal!
"Rong! Nice barb! Unbeatable goal! 4:2! Manchester City regained their two-goal lead over Bolton! After Kaka scored a volley, Rong scored a barb! The two of them were almost like they were competing! ”
Alan Hansen, who was next to him, laughed when he heard John Mortenson say this: "Rong and Kaka are competing? I don't think that's good news for City's opponents...... Think about the rivalry between Rong and Zlatan Ibrahimovic last season, and now with one more Kaka, can this Manchester City team be able to stop it? ”
Hearing him say this, John Mortensen also laughed: "The media thought that Ibrahimovic coming to Manchester City would lead the split of the team, but Manchester City instead played better and better in the competition between Ibrahimovic and Rong. I now think that Manchester City's decision to bring in Kaka is also because of this? They know that the relationship between Rong and Kaka is not good, and the two of them will become a competitive relationship, so simply let Kaka stimulate Rong, and Rong will stimulate Kaka in turn, and the result will be a win-win situation......"
"It's just too likely."
Then the two men looked at each other and laughed.
This is an interesting inference.
It also explains why Manchester City brought in these two men when Ibrahimovic and Young, Kaka and Wing are all recognized as bad.
They didn't come to dismantle the glory platform, but to stimulate each other and strive for a better performance together.
※※※
After Glory's goal, the flame in Bolton's heart was completely extinguished.
They can chase two goals in a row when they are two goals down in the first half. But at that time, the trident of Glory, Kaka and Ibrahimovic had not yet wielded their power.
But now that Kaka and Glory have scored, Manchester City are on fire, and it will be good for them to try not to concede a goal in the next game time, what else do you want to score?
After the game resumed, the goal-scoring Manchester City continued to lay siege to Bolton's goal.
Bolton, on the other hand, could only shrink their defense and barely hold on to a stalemate with Manchester City.
In this stalemate, the game time flew by. It didn't take long for the referee to blow the whistle for the end of the match.
"It's over! Manchester City beat Bolton Wanderers 4-2! Fifty-seventh league game unbeaten! They are now just one game away from AC Milan's 50-game unbeaten run! John Mortensen shouted excitedly.
The Manchester City fans who followed the team to the away stadium also jumped up from their seats, raising their arms and chanting.
The only pity is that this is an away game after all, Manchester City does not have many fans, and the momentum created is not as good as when it was at home, which is mixed with a lot of boos from Bolton fans.
It's not a perfect moment to celebrate.
Of course, Glory doesn't think it's time to celebrate.
Speaking to reporters in the post-match mixed zone, he said: "It's not time to celebrate, we haven't caught up with AC Milan yet. ”
In their next league game, Manchester City will take on Tottenham Hotspur away from home. In everyone's opinion, Tottenham Hotspur will not be able to cause any problems for Manchester City. The results of the previous head-to-head meetings between the two sides say a word of the word.
As long as Manchester City do not lose to Tottenham Hotspur, they will equal AC Milan's record.
It seemed like a no-brainer.
As a result, reporters are more concerned about what will happen to Manchester City after equaling AC Milan's record.
"What should I do?" Rongguang was a little surprised to hear the reporters ask. He was amazed that reporters would ask such low-level questions.
"What else can I do? Of course, we will continue to win! ”
"Fifty-nine? Or sixty? ”
One of the reporters asked.
"Maybe more." Glory is ambitious, but also full of confidence.
He is clearly not content to just improve AC Milan's record by one game......
