Chapter 76 No one sleeps tonight

"In the Champions League group stage that just ended in the evening, the biggest upset may be that Manchester City beat Real Madrid away from home..."

"If we look at the results alone, this may be an upset. But I think anyone who has watched this game and who knows enough about Manchester City may not be an upset anymore. With Manchester City's current performance, isn't it normal for them to beat any team?"

"That's right, but Real Madrid lost to Manchester City at a two-goal disadvantage at home, and had almost no counterattack, which is still very surprising..."

"Yes, Real Madrid's performance on the court was like a loose set. Pellegrini's move to replace Raul also caused controversy after the game. It is said that Florentino is already considering firing the Chilean engineer..."

Caroline got down from the upper floor and found that the TV was on, but Kaka was not in front of the TV, and he was not in the entire living room.

She walked through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window in the living room and walked into the garden outside. Kaka really sat on the garden chair, looked up at the night sky without saying a word.

Caroline walked behind him and gently placed her hand on Kaka's shoulder.

"What are you thinking?" she asked in a low voice.

"Caroline..." Kaka turned his head and rubbed Caroline's back. "You said, was it wrong for me to choose to come to Real Madrid?"

Caroline didn't say anything, and Kaka didn't seem to have his wife answered his question, so he continued.

"I thought I could definitely beat him if I came to Real Madrid. But when I met him, I found that I was still the one who lost... Is it? Actually, I was left behind by him, and I was getting farther and farther away. There was no possibility of defeating him again?"

Caroline put his other hand on Kaka's left shoulder and stood behind Kaka and said, "Do you remember telling me the story of you and Rong before? Rong had just been transferred to the first team, so he dared to point at you and challenge you in front of so many people. A rookie who had only been learning football for more than a month, but dared to challenge the most talented genius player in the team. Many people think he is an idiot. How can the huge gap between him and you be easily smoothed out?"

Listening to Caroline's story, Kaka recalled the scene seven years ago.

That was the first time I saw glory.

In the team's training match, he was easily broken through by himself.

Then, he got up from the ground and pointed at himself and said he wanted to defeat himself.

Kaka still remembered his expression at that time.

Unwilling, unwilling, arrogant, and angry.

However, I didn't take this rookie who came to make up for the first team at all at that time.

He was unwilling to leave a bad impression on others easily, so he responded to him with a smile.

"OK."

After saying that, he ran away.

At that time, he really didn't take the challenge of glory seriously, because he instinctively did not believe that glory could defeat himself.

In a blink of an eye, seven years have passed, and the person who thought that one percent of them could never defeat him had already left him far away.

"Which is greater between Rong and you and now between him?" Caroline's voice continued. "Which is greater between a beginner who knows nothing about football and is greater about catching up with a talented star, or is greater between you now?"

Listening to his wife's continuous replies, Kaka raised her head and looked at her in surprise.

"Since Rong can catch up with you in that situation, why can't you catch up with him? Since he can do it, what reason do you have to give up? At worst, you can treat yourself as a football rookie, adjust your mindset, and now it's your turn to chase him."

Caroline gave her husband a sweet smile, making Kaka feel like spring breeze.

"Yes, no matter how hard or difficult, I shouldn't just give in to him so easily..." Kaka lowered her head and murmured, then clenched her fists.

After saying that, he got up, turned around and hugged his wife.

"Thank God for sending you to me, my dear." He stared at Caroline affectionately.

Caroline responded to him with her gaze.

Kaka lowered her head and leaned over to kiss Caroline's plump red lips.

The two hugged and kissed each other under the moonlight.

※※※

When Manchester City returned to their city, it was already late at night, at 11 o'clock in the evening, but they were still warmly welcomed by thousands of Manchester City fans at the airport

They all came to welcome the heroes to return. After watching the live broadcast of the game at home and in the bar, they set out together and came to the airport from different places in the city, waiting for the heroes to return.

After being assigned to the death group, many Manchester City fans are pessimistic about the team's prospects in the Champions League, and always feel that Manchester City has to go home after participating in the group stage. The focus of this season is still in the league. If you can strive to enter the Champions League group stage next season, it will be a victory. By then, the experience accumulated in the Champions League group stage this season will play a role.

This season I've considered paying tuition fees.

But when the Champions League began, they watched Manchester City defeat Bayern Munich, Bordeaux, and Real Madrid... They actually won three consecutive victories in the group stage and are now ranked first in the group stage.

They don’t know what language to use to express their feelings.

Then sing.

So when Manchester City players appeared in front of everyone, loud singing sounded among the gathering fans.

Kieren Reesville is among them.

He sang Manchester City's team songs with people around him.

Waving his arms in an orderly manner and playing rhythmically.

His eyes were firmly fixed on Glory.

As the captain of the team, he came out to express his gratitude to the Manchester City fans who came to pick them up.

Everyone responded to his gratitude with warm cheers.

The relationship between the players and the fans is very harmonious.

In addition to these enthusiastic fans, Manchester media are also welcomed.

Newspapers, magazines, TV stations, radio stations... reporters from all walks of life gathered outside the airport, waiting for the return of Manchester City team.

When they appeared, the reporters rushed up to interview players and coaches.

Manchester City players who won the ball were also very interested in interviews.

Everyone is being interviewed by reporters and is not tired at all.

Rongguang has the most reporters around him.

"I'm very happy to be able to win three consecutive victories, but it's not as happy as you think. Because I'm not surprised by the victory of this game. From now on, we not only have to qualify in the group, but also to qualify as the first in the group."

Rongguang exposed his ambitions during an interview.

But everyone was not surprised.

It would be strange if Rongguang did not have such ambition.

Next, Rongguang did not talk about his performance in the game. He left more space to his teammates. He praised his teammates for their performance in the game, praised Sneijder, praised David Silva, praised Berbatov, praised Robinho, praised the two midfielders, and praised the entire defense line...

Finally he said: "It is not my credit to be able to beat Real Madrid away, it is the credit to the entire team. We have a very good teammate, we are a very good team. We deserve to win."

Then he waved goodbye to the reporters, raised his arms higher, and waved goodbye to the fans a little further away.

When the Manchester City fans who were singing saw the movement of Glory, their voices suddenly increased, which scared many unprepared reporters. They looked back and saw that the Manchester City fans looked like they were shining on their faces. They were smiling, singing, dancing, and cheering.

Victory can bring joy and hope to these fans, making them more willing to support their teams, and also gives Manchester City players a higher desire to win during the game.

If we win games after games, the Manchester City team will be very different from them before.

In the past, Manchester City changed one boss after another, and more funds were injected, many well-known stars were introduced, and world-renowned coaches were found, but now such hope has never appeared in the team or the supporters of the team.

No one is willing to support a team that always loses and doesn't see hope, and no one likes to lose, even the hard-core fans are no exception.

"Manchester City... finally found the right path..." Seeing this scene, an old reporter with gray hair sighed. He has followed and reported Manchester City for so many years, and this is the first time he has seen such a grand occasion...

Finally, the fans used singing and cheering to send Manchester City players to the bus waiting outside, and then waved their arms to take the bus away.

But these excited fans will not stop and rest. They will also make an appointment with their friends to have a drink at the bar they often go to, and excitedly talk about the team's wonderful moments in this game, talk about the changes in the team this season, talk about glory, talk about Sneijder, talk about Benitez... until the bar proofing.

For the city of Manchester, half of them will be unable to sleep all night this night.

And in Madrid, there will also be many people who can't sleep all night tonight, but the reason why they can't sleep is completely different from that of Manchester City fans...
