Kaka's starting lineup attracted the attention of the media and fans on the eve of the game, and the Internet was filled with discussions related to this.

Now it is the era of complete Internet information. If there is anything, the Internet is the fastest and most passionate discussion.

This time is no exception.

Kaka is a celebrity on the Internet, and any news about him is very popular on the Internet.

There has also been debate on the Internet about why Kaka started this time.

Kaka's fans naturally said that Kaka had found his best self and successfully conquered Manchester City's head coach Benitez.

The questioners believe that Kaka's starting lineup may have been made by Benitez under pressure from the club's senior management. After all, as a very popular star, Kaka has surpassed other teammates in jersey sales this season since she came to Manchester City, and is only ranked behind Glory, and the gap is actually not big.

This shows Kaka's commercial influence. Such a star with commercial influence is obviously not suitable for his jersey sales, so for commercial value, Benitez also has to put Kaka on the starting list.

Even if Kaka's performance is not good in the future and he will gradually lose his main position, that is the future. At least in the first game of the new season, Benitez still cannot let Kaka sit on the bench.

There was also a conflict between the two sides online. The calm and rational people believed that Kaka's fans were all "brainless fans". They felt particularly superior when facing them, and they felt a sense of superiority in their words. Kaka's fans couldn't stand their attitude.

Both sides just stood up.

There are many battles happening in the online world every day, which is not a strange thing.

However, the quarrel between the two sides attracted the attention of the media. Some media even took screenshots and broadcasted the live quarrel between the two sides and linked the matter to tomorrow's game.

Thinking Kaka's performance in tomorrow's game determines whether his fans cry or laugh.

If Kaka does not perform well, his fans will be labeled as "brainless fans".

If Kaka performs well, it is a powerful counterattack.

But in the words, the media did not seem to think Kaka could show any decent performance.

In the locker room at Wembley Stadium, Manchester City players have finished their warm-up and have returned here to make their final pre-match preparations.

Rongguang and Kaka sat together, their cabinets next to each other.

Although Rong Guang changed Kaka's name in the locker room of the Carrington Training Base, he changed his position away from himself.

But he couldn't change the name he posted on the cabinet in the stadium locker room.

Because he can't have the opportunity to enter the locker room of the stadium alone, it's not like a training ground. The stadium administrator and the training ground administrator are different. He can go to the training ground alone, but he can't go to the stadium alone.

So from the first warm-up match, Rongguang discovered that Kaka was beside him.

Whether he wants to or not, he can only accept this reality.

In this way, Kaka's position in the stadium locker room was fixed - right next to Glory.

This was decided long ago by Benitez, and it was decided together with the seats in the dressing room of the training ground. The seating arrangements for the training ground and the court were the same. But I didn’t expect that Rongguang changed the location of Kaka in the dressing room of the training ground.

Now, Rongguang and Kaka are standing shoulder to shoulder in front of their respective wardrobes, changing the jerseys they will wear when they will appear in the game later.

"I'll declare first." Rongguang, who was changing clothes, suddenly whispered. "Even if it's the Community Shield, I won't give up."

Kaka, who was changing clothes, paused in his hand, and then resumed his movements, and said, "It seems that I will give up such a champion."

When Kaka followed his teammates into the stadium, there was always a cameraman carrying a camera next to him, and the camera was always facing him.

His close-up is the longest of all players playing—the longest including Stoke City players.

Although Glory is the core of Manchester City, Kaka is the protagonist in this game.

Everyone wants to see what performance Kaka can perform after starting.

He had almost no chance to start at Real Madrid last season, and sometimes he couldn't even get into the roster.

The starting lineup is indeed a bit luxurious for Kaka today...

No wonder it has attracted so much attention.

So can Kaka be worthy of the opportunity given to him by Benitez?

Commentator John Motson said: "I think for Kaka, this starting lineup may be more pressure, not necessarily a chance to perform. Kaka now has just a starting lineup, which can actually cause a sensation, which makes so many people discuss it. It is actually quite a pity to think about it - Kaka's starting lineup was taken for granted when he did not start, and when he did not start, that is the big news that should attract everyone's attention. Now... this change also shows the decline of Kaka's status in football. Now he is not only not the world's number one, but also one of the best players in the world. Kaka said that he wants to find his best self in Manchester City. I believe what he said, but I don't know whether he can succeed. Because this is not something that can be done with just a few bold words."

"To be honest, I think it's difficult for Kaka to fulfill his words and find the best him? That's completely impossible! Kaka is now twenty-nine years old, and his body is going downhill. His future performance can only be worse than before, and it's impossible to be better than before. A player like him who makes a living by speed should recognize this reality. Without his strongest explosive power, he will have nothing..." Alan Hansen, the commentator next to him, said bluntly. This is his style. When criticizing people, he will not consider the reputation of this person at all. He will say whatever he thinks.

Even glory was criticized by him.

Of course, he has been slapped in the face because of his unrestrained words, but he has no intention of changing his style. It is precisely because of his insistence on his style of criticizing others without mercy and complimenting others without reservation that Alan Hansen is still loved by the audience.

After the two teams were finished shopping malls, Rongguang, as the captain, went to exchange team flags with the other captain, then shook hands, guessed the coins and picked the edges.

In the end, Manchester City won the kick-off right, while Stoke City got the right to pick the side.

When Glory returned to the team, the players also stood according to their respective positions on the court.

Kaka stood on the center circle line, while Ibrahimovic and Rongguang stood in the center circle, preparing to kick off.

The referee whistled, Rong Guang gently rubbed the football out, and ran straight to the side.

Ibrahimovic turned around and passed the football back.

Kaka received the ball.

The moment Kaka received the ball, the fans of the audience stared at him like the camera.

Everyone wants to see what Kaka will do.

Kaka turned around and passed the football to Sneijder again.

Then he ran forward too.

No special move was made.

Kaka's performance was a bit disappointing, but considering that the game had just begun and there was still a lot of time for Kaka, everyone adjusted their mindset and continued to pay attention to him.

Next, Manchester City kicked according to their tactics. Although Sneijder replaced Gareth Barry, Manchester City's tactics were still the same and there was no change.

Soon the football was passed to Kaka again. As the team's midfielder, Kaka naturally has many opportunities to get the ball.

However, after Kaka got the ball, he did not make everyone expect anything. He turned around and passed the ball again.

Then run.

This performance is no different from his performance in Real Madrid.

This was the case when he was in Real Madrid. After getting the ball, he passed the ball more often, and he didn't dare to break through or out, because he knew that his body had no explosive power.

He will lose the ball when he breaks through or out, so he can only pass the ball.

If you do this, Kaka's threat will plummet, and he will naturally not be able to perform well.

Now, everyone finds that Kaka is the same as when he was in Real Madrid. Does that mean that Kaka's performance will definitely be the same as when he was in Real Madrid?

If this is it? Then everyone doesn’t have to expect Kaka to find the best him in Manchester City, because that is absolutely impossible!

The game lasted ten minutes, and Kaka did not perform too dazzlingly.

Manchester City has already scored, and the goalkeeper is Ibrahimovic.

At that time, Glory's long shot was saved by Stoke City's goalkeeper, and the football fell at Ibrahimovic's feet. Facing the empty goal, the Swedish god forward kicked the football into the goal without any hesitation.

Manchester City scored a goal lead in the eighth minute, which seemed to show that this game was really easy for them, and Stoke City could not create any threat to Manchester City.

Stoke City, who lost the ball, tried to push out the offense in the subsequent games. After all, this is a community shield game, and if you win, you can win the championship. This championship may be a waste of money for the giants, but for a team like Stoke City, it is a goal worth their hard work to strive for.

Besides, Stoke City was the FA Cup champion last season, so they still have some confidence.

In the two home and away matches between Manchester City last season, they tied Manchester City 1:1 away.

All of these provide confidence for Stoke City.

Stoke City's pressing attack in turn provides Manchester City with more opportunities to fight back.

Under such circumstances, everyone unconsciously looked at glory.

When Manchester City fought back, Rongguang was definitely the most popular. As for Kaka... After watching his performance for more than ten minutes, everyone felt that they didn't have to waste too much energy on him.

In the 22nd minute, Matuidi intercepted the ball from the midfield and handed the ball to Sneider as soon as possible.

Sneider turned around and looked up at the frontcourt.
