Chapter 1231 The meaning of two years in Real Madrid

When the Community Shield ended, the Premier League kicked off in full swing a week later.

Manchester City ushered in Swansea at home.

As everyone predicted before the game, there is no suspense in this game.

Benitez continued the team's starting lineup in the Community Shield without making any adjustments.

It can also be seen from this that the starting lineup in the Community Shield Cup is basically Manchester City's main lineup.

Then Kaka is of course the main player of Manchester City.

This fact is really embarrassing. Just a month ago, when Kaka was still in Real Madrid, everyone thought that his career had begun to decline. In Real Madrid, he could only sit on the bench.

Unexpectedly, more than a month later, Kaka ushered in his own spring in Manchester City.He can still be the main force!

Swansea are not a strong opponent, they are newly promoted.

As a newly promoted team, it is too cruel for them to face the defending champion in the first Premier League game of the new season.

Although after the schedule came out, Swansea must be preparing for Manchester City, but the huge strength gap between the two sides still makes their preparations useless.

In the game, they lasted only 7 minutes.

Then Swansea's goal was broken by Rongguang. Using a direct free kick, Rongguang's right-footed elevator ball blasted away Swansea's goal.

It is worth mentioning that it was Kaka who created such a free kick opportunity for Rongguang.

It was Kaka who broke through to 33 meters with the ball and was forcibly knocked to the ground by Swansea's defenders. The referee awarded a free kick to Manchester City without hesitation.

It was this free kick that allowed Rongguang to score, scoring his and Manchester City's first league goal of the season.

After the glorious goal, Manchester City's offensive firepower continued to be fully opened.

Before the end of the first half, Manchester City scored another goal, this time it was Rong Guang who assisted David Silva to score.Manchester City led Swansea 2:0.

After the intermission, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Manchester City did not relax because they had already secured the victory by two goals. On the contrary, they continued to attack and had no intention of stopping.

Under such circumstances, Manchester City scored three more goals in the second half.

Both Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Rong Guang scored twice.

The competition between the two in the number of goals started from the first round of the league.

However, Kaka, who attracted everyone's attention, did not score.

He slipped another shot from distance in the game, the closest he came to scoring.

Kaka himself was also annoyed.

In the end, he failed to score and he was a bit sullen when he was substituted.

But in all fairness, apart from not scoring a goal, Kaka's performance is actually pretty good. On the offensive end, he works very hard, runs aggressively, breaks through sharply, and can pass some threatening passes.

Such a performance fully deserves the applause and cheers.

However, after the game, some media still deliberately found fault, thinking that Kaka's performance was very average.

Their reason is that Kaka didn't score, and other performances should be played by any normal player.

With Kaka's reputation, status, and worth, it can be said that his performance is not good if he only shows such a performance.

"...We know that our evaluation seems to be a bit harsh. But we think that for a player like Kaka, he needs to be a little harsher. Didn't he say that he wants to find his best self in Manchester City? Then we should ask him according to the standard of his best performance. Otherwise, wouldn't his words become empty words?"

This media is quite plausible.

And there are people who really believe in this view.

Some people do think that a player of Kaka's level should have high standards and strict requirements.

So after the game, because Kaka didn't score a goal, there were some criticisms against him.

※※※

Benitez was a little worried at the beginning that these criticisms would affect Kaka.

But when he saw Kaka the next day, he carefully observed Kaka's expression, and after Kaka's performance in training, he was sure that those critical voices did not affect his mood and state.

This is what Benitez is worrying too much about.

For Kaka, in the two seasons of Real Madrid, he has heard too many criticisms, all kinds of criticisms against him from different angles.

And many of these criticisms are justified, and this is what makes Kaka feel the most painful.He is not afraid of mad dog bites, which will not kill him at all, what he is afraid of is those reasonable criticisms.

He knew that what these people said was right, and their criticisms were justified, which showed that he really did not do well enough, but he could do nothing to change this situation, so he was even more heartbroken.In the two seasons, especially the last season, he received a lot of criticism.

In such an environment for a long time, he must learn to adjust his mentality to face these criticisms, otherwise he would have been driven crazy.

Turning to God for protection is one way, and adjusting the mentality is also a way.

So Kaka's heart is very strong now, and one or two media baseless accusations and criticisms can't affect him at all.

This kind of criticism is weak.

Now Kaka will also think that his two seasons in Real Madrid did not seem unnecessary.

There was a saying before that his transfer to Real Madrid was a failed choice and a complete waste of time.Nothing good for his career.

At first Kaka thought so too.

But when he came to Manchester City, he gradually didn't think so.

He tends to believe that all of this is God's intentional arrangement.Without the setbacks of his two seasons in Real Madrid, he might not have the courage to challenge his fate again.It is precisely because of this experience in Real Madrid that he cherishes the days in Manchester City, the days of hope.

And the two seasons in Real Madrid also exercised his heart, giving him a stronger heart.With this heart, he is confident that he can deal with all the difficulties and setbacks on the way forward.

Nothing can easily defeat him anymore, absolutely nothing!

That's what Kaka thinks now, thanking him from the bottom of his heart for his two seasons at Real Madrid for those **** nights.

Now in Manchester City, the painful experiences of the past seem to have turned into bright pearls scattered around, waiting for him to weave them into a crown.

※※※

After Manchester City won Swansea, they have won 56 unbeaten league games, which is only two games away from the 58 unbeaten league games created by AC Milan led by Sacchi.

This matter is the topic that England and even European media focus on reporting and discussing. There is actually not so much controversy about Kaka's performance.

AC Milan is definitely not the holder of the longest unbeaten streak in European football leagues, but why are they the most famous?

Because when they created this record, the gold content of Serie A was recognized. At that time, Serie A was called the "Little World Cup". It was the most glorious period of Serie A. There were many superstars in the league and strong teams.

Today's Premier League is also very similar to Serie A back then. There are many powerful teams in the league. It is nothing for Manchester City to win the league championship, but when facing so many teams, they can always remain unbeaten. This is the most remarkable.

After this game, the official social network of the Manchester City club posted a picture with old photos of AC Milan on it, with the text "Salute to the legend!"

Although there are still two league games away from tying the record, Manchester City is already warming up for the record.

But can they really do it?

Manchester City's opponent in the second round of the league is Bolton.

The opponent is not too strong. Even in an away game, everyone feels that with Manchester City's strength, they can completely beat Bolton.After winning this game, Manchester City is unbeaten in 57 league games, only one game away from AC Milan's legendary record.

The whole of England began to discuss the arrival of the historic moment.

Before the game, the "Manchester Evening News" had already released a message on their official social network in advance. The message was very simple, just an Arabic numeral "2".This is the countdown.

There was a lot of cheering on the Internet, and Manchester City fans seemed to think that the record was already in their pockets.

Under such circumstances, the Manchester City team boarded the bus and embarked on the away journey.
