Chapter 1301: After the Equalizer
There was a huge cheer at the Manchester City Stadium when Kaka unexpectedly overheaded the ball in front of Marcelo and then burst into the box and volleyed it straight into the net from a tight angle.
Everyone was cheering for Kaka.
And John Mortensen was thrilled: "Beautiful goal! Pretty! Kaka's sudden start was too fast for Marcelo to catch up with! This is the same Kaka that we used to be very familiar with! He's back! He's back completely! ”
Alan Hansen was equally excited: "What an unbeatable goal! Kaka's goal equalised for City, and it was a very important goal for City! I really don't know how Mourinho and Florentino will feel when they see Kaka's goal! ”
The TV broadcasters also seemed to hear him, and Che gave Mourinho a close-up.
Mourinho in a close-up shot sits in the dugout, his face expressionless.
I don't know what he's thinking, but one thing is for sure – he's not going to be happy when he concedes the ball.
The camera then cuts to Kaka.
After the goal, he pointed to the sky with both hands and made the classic celebration, thank God.
And his teammates also flocked to hug him.
Instead of celebrating the goal with them, he ran to the goal, picked up the football, and then ran back to the center circle with it, put the ball in the center circle, exited the center circle, and waited for the kickoff.
It's not over yet, it's just an equaliser and his goal is to win.

"I don't know what Mourinho's mood is, but Florentino must regret it, ha!" John Mortensen took over from his partner Alan Hansen. "Such a kaka, the athletic watch is good, and the jersey sells well, he must not be willing to sell it...... But who knew at the time that Kaka would be able to have such a table in the new season? Kaka got rid of his groin injury overnight and seemed to be several years younger overnight. Do you remember what the media at the time commented on Kaka's move to Manchester City? It's not just Florentino and Mourinho who are being slapped in the face now! ”
Kaka and his team-mates finally wrapped up their celebrations with a smile on his face as he waved to the City fans in the stands.
The Real Madrid fans who came with the team were silent.
They have mixed feelings.
Kaka has been in Real Madrid for two seasons, and his performance is not satisfactory, so there are many fans who don't like him, especially after the news that he played the World Cup with an injury, the media criticized Kaka for recuperating from injuries in the club, but he went to the national team to work hard, for the World Cup, he didn't even care about the interests of the club, he was a complete hypocrite and selfish ghost.
There are also many fans who hold this view, believing that Kaka has a high salary, but he does not have a level that matches his salary. Staying at Real Madrid for a man like him is a scourge, and he can't do anything but eat and drink for nothing.
When Florentino announced Kaka's departure, they were very happy and felt that Real Madrid had finally shaken off a baggage. They also laughed at Manchester City, who had a lot of money and stupidity, and even Kaka dared to take over, they didn't know how death was written, and I believe they would regret it soon!
When Kaka left, he almost used the celebration to describe the mood of some Real Madrid fans.
But now, seeing Kaka equalise for Manchester City with such a beautiful goal, those gloating Real Madrid fans don't know what to say.
And Kaka has a knee-jerk action that also exposes his true thoughts about Real Madrid.
There was a play against AC Milan when he played for Real Madrid, and Kaka said before the game that if he scored in the game, he would not celebrate.
But against Real Madrid, he scored a goal and made a gesture of celebration.
What does this mean?
It shows that in his heart, although Real Madrid and AC Milan are former owners, their status is completely different.
He never complained about his two seasons at Real Madrid, and he never said a bad word about Real Madrid, but he inadvertently expressed his true thoughts.
Without hatred, there is no revenge.
But you still have to vent the depression in your heart, right?
He vented with this goal.

After finishing the celebration, Kaka walked back, and he took his gaze from the stands, past the many people on the field, and fell on the glory.
He scored first in this game than Rongguang, and it was such an important and crucial goal. He still has the mentality to compare with glory.
Now he is a little proud in his heart.
But he quickly noticed the football in front of the glory, the football was lying quietly in the center circle, and no Real Madrid player stepped forward, indicating that the ball was not put by a Real Madrid player, so who still needs to guess?
Of course, it's a glorious.
Why did Glory put this ball in the center circle?
The meaning is also very simple, now we are still only a draw, what is there to be happy about in a draw at our own home stadium?
At the thought of this, Kaka frowned slightly.
I celebrated happily after the goal, but I forgot about it......
In this regard, he is still a little worse than glory...... Tut!
Thinking of this, Kaka retracted his smile and sped back to his half. The game is not over yet, they are going to fight for the victory.
※※※
But how easy is it for them to win?
Mourinho didn't lose his cool after conceding the goal, he didn't even have time to think about whether Kaka's appearance at Manchester City would make him regret it, he was thinking about what to do after conceding the goal.
When the game resumed, Real Madrid quickly shrunk their line, even harder than before, and they were about to completely defend and counterattack.
Obviously, in Mourinho's view, getting an away goal away and being able to draw with Manchester City is already a very good result. Being able to return to home with this result would greatly increase the odds of Real Madrid knocking out Manchester City.
And he shrunk defensively, but he didn't give up on counter-attacking at the same time. In his opinion, Manchester City will definitely not be willing to draw, they will definitely fight back, and when the time comes, 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 counterattack, they will have the opportunity to score again!
Of course, Benitez knows what the situation is, but he has no other choice, in his home stadium, if he can't win, it will be difficult to play away, he knows that this may make the team unable to even get a draw at home, but sometimes, as a manager, you can't just blindly seek stability, you have to dare to bet when you should bet.
In this regard, his opponent Jose Mourinho is a good gambler, and he will often make crazy moves in the game, such as changing all the strikers in one go and leaving him with four strikers on the pitch.
He gambles so wildly, and he often always wins, I have to say that he is really lucky.
Benitez is now also planning to take a gamble.
He allowed his players to launch an onslaught on Real Madrid's goal.
He wanted to see if the players under his command could still have the courage and ability to defy fate when they faced difficulties again after more than a season of good life.

The Real Madrid players also felt at first that when Manchester City attacked in a big way, it must be their chance to play a quick counter-attack.
Cristiano Ronaldo is gearing up to use his pace to wreak havoc on City's defence in the final stretch of the game to score a hat-trick at Manchester City's home turf, which would be his best revenge for glory.
But when City's bombardment really began, the Real Madrid players found that the situation was not as rosy as they thought.
At the very least, there aren't that many opportunities to fight back.
When Manchester City attacked, they wanted to break the ball and play directly on the counter-attack, but found that the ball was difficult to break.
Even if the ball is broken, Manchester City will immediately launch a counter-attack on the spot. It was difficult for the Real Madrid players with the ball to organize an effective counterattack, either the ball that had just been broken was lost again, or the interference of Manchester City's counter-attacking players was delayed in sending the football out, and as a result, the Manchester City players quickly returned to the defense.
And if Manchester City completes the attack with a shot, then everyone except the front trident will also run back as soon as possible and retreat to form a defensive line.
The front trident is responsible for counter-attacking and jamming, if it can cut off the ball directly, of course, if there is no minimum defense to remain intact, it will not be directly hit by Real Madrid's counterattack to the doorstep.
However, Manchester City's attack failed to break through Real Madrid's goal for a while, after all, they have to concentrate on two things, and they have to think about defending when attacking.
In this way, the two sides remained deadlocked, and the game went on until the last ten minutes.
In the 80th minute, the score was still tied 1:1 without any change.
The Manchester City fans in the stands were a little anxious, while the Real Madrid fans sang and cheered much louder. They seem to have seen a draw in their hands.
Real Madrid fought back and Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled to the edge of the box before forcing a shot on goal, but Godin's close interference made his shot too straight and without much power.
He was held directly in his arms by Joe Hart.
Saving Cristiano Ronaldo's ball, Joe Hart did not let himself continue to lie on the ground, but as if he had a spring, he jumped up from the ground and rushed to the edge of the penalty area with the football in his arms.
Then he threw the ball straight out.
He had his target in mind before he threw it......
"Rong-!!" As he threw the football, Joe Hart shouted.
The football was tossed hard from his hands to glory.
Everyone's eyes were also focused on the football, and it flew towards glory along with the spinning ball.
