"In the Champions League group stage that just ended in the evening, perhaps the biggest upset was Manchester City's 3-1 defeat of Real Madrid away......

"In terms of results alone, it could be an upset. But I think anyone who watched the game, who knows enough about Manchester City, maybe it's not an upset. With Manchester City's current appearance, isn't it normal for them to beat any team? ”

"That being said, it was a surprise that Real Madrid lost to Manchester City by two goals at home and barely fought back......

"Yes, Real Madrid's table on the pitch is nothing short of a plate of loose sand. Manuel Pellegrini's move to replace Raul also caused controversy after the game. It is said that Florentino is already thinking about firing the Chilean engineer......"

Caroline came downstairs to find the TV on, but Kaka was not in front of the TV, and he was not in the living room.

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

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

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

"Caroline......" Kaka tilted her head over and rubbed the back of Caroline's hand. You say, I chose to come to Real Madrid, was it wrong? ”

Caroline didn't speak, and Kaka didn't seem to intend for his wife to answer his question, so he continued.

"I thought I could beat him when I came to Real Madrid. But when I met him, I found that I was the one who lost...... Isn't it, in fact, I have been left behind by him a long time ago, and the farther and farther I throw, there is no way to defeat him again? ”

Caroline put her other hand on Kaka's left shoulder, stood behind Kaka and said, "Remember when you told me the story of you and Rong?" Rong had just been transferred to the first team at that time, and he dared to point at you and challenge you in front of so many people. A rookie who has only studied football for more than a month, but dares to challenge the most talented talent player in the team, many people think he is an idiot, how can the huge gap between him and you be erased? ”

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

That was the first time I saw glory.

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

Then he got up from the ground and pointed at himself and said that he was going to defeat him.

At that time, Kaka still remembered his expression.

Rebelliousness, unwillingness, arrogance, and anger.

But I didn't pay attention to this rookie who came to the first team to make up the numbers at all.

He also didn't want to make a not-so-good impression on others, so he responded to him with a smile.

"Okay."

After saying that, he ran away.

At that time, he really didn't take Glory's challenge seriously, because he instinctively didn't believe that Glory could defeat him.

In a blink of an eye, seven years have passed, and the people who thought that it was impossible to defeat 10,000 percent have already thrown themselves far away.

"Which is the bigger gap between Rong and you at the beginning, or the gap between you and him now?" Caroline's voice continued. "Which is more difficult for a beginner who knows nothing about football to catch up with a talented star, or for you to catch up with him now?"

Listening to his wife's continuous rhetorical questions, Kaka looked up at her with some surprise.

"If Rong was able to catch up with you in that situation, why can't you catch up with him? If he can do it, why should you give up? Think of yourself as a football rookie, get your mindset right, and now it's your turn to catch up with him. ”

Caroline gave her husband a sweet smile and made Kaka feel like a spring breeze.

"Yes, no matter how hard it is, I shouldn't just throw in the towel to him so lightly......" Kaka muttered as he lowered his head and clenched his fists.

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

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

Caroline responded to him with a gaze as well.

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

The two kissed in the moonlight.

When City returned to their city, it was late at night, mid-11pm, but they were greeted by thousands of Manchester City fans at the airport.

They are all here to welcome the heroes back. After watching the live broadcast of the game at home and in the bar, they set off together and traveled from different parts of the city to the airport, waiting for the return of their heroes.

After being placed in the Group of Death, many Manchester City fans are pessimistic about the team's prospects in the Champions League, and always feel that Manchester City will have to go home after participating in the group stage. The focus this season is still on the league, and if we can try to reach the Champions League group stage next season, it will be a victory. At that point, the experience gained this season in the Champions League group stage will come into play.

This season is the time to pay the tuition.

But when the Champions League began, they watched Manchester City beat Bayern Munich, defeated Bordeaux, and defeated Real Madrid one by one...... actually won three consecutive wins in the group stage! Now top of the group stage!

They don't know what words to use to express their feelings.

Then sing it.

So when the Manchester City players appeared in front of everyone, the gathered fans rang out loud singing.

Kieren Reiswell is among them.

He sang the Manchester City anthem along with the people around him.

Wave your arms in unison and beat rhythmically.

His eyes were firmly fixed on Glory.

As captain of the team, he came out to thank the Manchester City fans who came to pick him up.

Everyone responded with enthusiastic cheers.

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

In addition to these enthusiastic fans, they were greeted by the Manchester media.

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

As soon as they appeared, these reporters rushed to interview the players and coaches.

The Manchester City players who won the game were also very interested in being interviewed.

Everyone was interviewed by reporters, and they didn't feel tired at all.

Rongguang is surrounded by the most reporters.

"I'm happy to have three wins in a row, but not as happy as you think. Because I wasn't surprised by the win in this game. From now on, we will not only qualify from the group, but we will also qualify as the first in the group! ”

When Rongguang was interviewed, he exposed his ambitions.

But it's not a surprise.

It would be strange if Glory didn't have such ambitions.

Glory didn't talk about his role in the game, he left more space to his teammates, he praised his team-mates in the game, praised Sneijder, praised David Silva, praised Berbatov, praised Robinho, praised the two midfielders in midfield, and praised the entire back line......

In the end, he said: "To be able to beat Real Madrid away from home, it's not just for me, it's for the whole team. We've got a really good group of team-mates and we're a really good team. We deserved to win. ”

Then he waved goodbye to the reporters and raised his arms to wave goodbye to the fans a little farther away.

The Manchester City fans who were singing suddenly increased their voices when they saw this action of Glory, startling many unprepared reporters. They looked back and the faces of the City fans were shining, laughing, singing, dancing and cheering.

Victory can bring joy and hope to these fans, making them more willing to support their team. It also makes Manchester City's players have a higher desire to win when they play.

If they continue to win like this game after game, today's Manchester City will really be very different from them before!

In the past, Manchester City changed owners one after another, and there were more capital injections, bringing in many well-known stars and finding world-famous coaches, but now such hope has never appeared in the team and its supporters.

No one wants to support a team that is always losing, with no hope in sight, and no one likes to lose, not even the most die-hard fans.

"Manchester City...... I've finally found the right path......" Seeing this scene, an old reporter who was old and had gray hair sighed. He has been following Manchester City for so many years, and this is the first time he has seen such a grand occasion......

Finally, the fans sang and cheered the Manchester City players onto the waiting bus, and then waved their arms to see the bus off.

But these excited fans don't stop to rest, they also invite their friends to go to the bar they frequent, and talk excitedly about the team's wonderful moments in this game, about the changes in the team this season, about glory, about Sneijder, about Benitez...... Until bar proofing.

For the city of Manchester, half of the population will be sleepless on this night.

In Madrid, there will also be many people who can't sleep tonight, but the reason why they can't sleep is completely different from Manchester City fans......
