Chapter 784 Kaka's First Release!
Today's city courts are obviously different from before.
This feeling not only comes from the rare good weather tonight, but also from the mood.
At least, Kaka felt that.
From the moment he walked into the city court, his mental state was completely different.
Because just this morning, head coach Gao Han told him that team doctor David Fefrey had issued a pass and he will make a debut against Chelsea.
Kaka still clearly remembered that he was shocked when he heard the news.
In the past four months, he has been waiting for the arrival of this day all the time.
He received the highest salary in the world and watched his teammates fight on the court, he felt like a cowardly deserter.
Now that's fine, it's finally OK.
When he thought of this, he was so happy that he wanted to cry.
In the stands at the stadium, many Manchester City fans still played the slogan to congratulate Kaka on his return to the court. They would do this in every game, whether it was home or away, which touched Kaka.
When he finished his pre-match training and was about to return to the locker room, he stood silently at the entrance of the player passage, looking at the Manchester City fans all over the court, and secretly swore in his heart.
I will definitely not let you down, cute fans!

"Next, I'll announce the big roster for this game."
In the home team's locker room, assistant coach Brian Kidd stood in front of all the players and said in a serious tone.
Who and who are substitutes have already known it before the game.
This is also Gao Han's usual tradition. Before the team sets off, he will communicate with each player who enters the roster and tell them personally whether they will get it. He thinks this is the minimum respect for the players.
For those players who failed to qualify, Gao Han would explain why he made this arrangement and encourage him.
Facts have proved that Gao Han's method has been loved by his players over the past few years, so that many coaches who coached alone after Gao Han continued to learn and use his management model.
For example, Guardiola of Barcelona, Simeone of Atletico Madrid, Emery of Valencia, Thomas Tuchel, who recently coached Mainz, and Pochettino of Chinatown, basically all learned Gao Han's management system and worked in parallel.
"Goaler Cech, three defenders Kompany, Xavi Martinez and Xavi Mascherano."
When he read Mascherano's name, Sabaleta's face changed slightly. Although he knew he could not do so, it was still a bit unnatural. After all, he has been a right center back so far this season.
When Sabaleta raised her head again, she found that head coach Gao Han was paying attention to him, her eyes were full of encouragement, which made Sabaleta feel at ease and nodded slightly to the head coach, indicating that he was fine.
"Midfielder, Xavi Alonso, David Silva, Modric and..." Brian Kidd paused and looked at Kaka who stood in front of the closet with his hands behind his back, "... Kaka!"
There was a burst of exclamation in the locker room.
Only you know who is the substitute, and the rest are all known before the game.
At this moment, I heard that Kaka will, including Cristiano Ronaldo, have come forward to congratulate you, and Zabaleta, who was squeezed out of the list, also walked forward and hugged Kaka generously.
"The frontcourt is Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Sanchez."
After Brian Kidd announced the 11-man roster, the locker room was silent again.
Gao Han slowly walked in front of everyone and carried out the final mobilization before the game.
"Remember that I have been repeatedly explaining these two days. At the beginning of the game, we have to launch an offense and give full play to our advantage of passing and controlling the ball. We actively create threats when there is a ball, and counterattack on the spot when there is no ball, and impose high-level pressing and oppression."
"I can guarantee that guys, Chelsea will definitely use defensive tactics in this game. They will not take risks and cannot afford to take risks. Therefore, the biggest test for us in this game does not come from our opponents, but from our own offense. We need to use offense to defeat Chelsea's defense."
"I believe that as long as we perform our strength normally, victory will belong to us!"

The ringtone of the referee urging the field to promote the ringing room of the visiting team.
Scolari stood at the door and sent all the players out of the locker room.
He tried to make himself look more confident and calm, but he was always worried.
He knew Gao Han's terribleness better than anyone else.
As the season deepens, Manchester City's performance is getting better and stronger.
It has to be admitted that Gao Han’s ability to integrate the team is indeed a masterpiece of the world.
Just as he turned and walked out of the locker room, preparing to follow the players into the field, the assistant walked in from outside, holding up a piece of a4 paper with the scent of ink in his hand, "The list is out."
Scolari immediately copied over and looked at it, and his brows frowned tightly when his eyes fell on Kaka's name.
"It's kidding." Scola said expressionlessly inside.
Everyone knows that Kaka occupies a very important part in Gao Han’s original plan, but unexpectedly, after just arrived in Manchester City, Kaka had surgery and had a standstill for four months, which led to a passive start to the Manchester City League.
In the past month, after Kaka's comeback, he has been playing as a substitute in every game and his performance has been steadily improving.
Arrangement of Kaka now means that Gao Han has recognized Kaka's strength has almost recovered.
Then this game will be even harder to play.
"Go and tell them, Kaka, you must be cautious in the start of the game, be sure to take good defense first, and not give Manchester City an opportunity to take advantage of it." Scolari ordered.
The assistant immediately took the order.
But the Brazilian coach did not give up his expression at all, and he still looked worried.
Manchester City without Kaka is already difficult enough, but now it's even Kaka, that...

"The players of the two teams walked into the city stadium one after another under the leadership of referee Weber."
"We can now clearly see the lineup of both teams."
“The whole city court is cheering.”
"Oh my God, we saw Kaka in Manchester City's squad, and he entered the roster in this game."
"This is the first game of the Brazilian superstar this season."
"The live TV camera was given to the stands. This is Kaka's wife Caroline, and she also looks very excited."
"Manchester City's lineup has been adjusted in this game. Mascherano retreated to the defense line, while Kaka is the team's front midfielder. The three, four and three formations have become the small diamond-shaped midfield position that Gao Han has always insisted on."
"I wonder if Kaka's will bring more surprises to the game in this game?"
"Let's look at Chelsea, Scolari has a four-33 formation in this game."
"The goalkeeper is Hillaryo, the defense is Ashley Cole, Terry, Andrade and Ivanovic, the midfield is Barack, Essin and Lampard, and the front trident is Robinho, Drogba and Anelka."
"It should be said that both teams have sent all their strongest lineups to play."
"But Scolari arranged for Barack in this game, which is probably still to be discussed. After all, Barack's performance in the mid-week League Cup was not satisfactory."
"However, if you want to talk about the experience of the competition in the strong dialogue, Barack is indeed better than Mikel. Scolari made such an arrangement, probably because of experience, and it depends on the effect now."
"Captains on both sides, Xavi Alonso and John Terry, were guessing the side, and Chelsea got the power to start."
“The competition is about to begin.”

"How could it be Kaka?"
In the stands at the city stadium, Abramovich anxiously asked Granovskiya, the assistant sitting beside him.
Facing Gao Han, he had a serious psychological shadow, so he was very worried about Gao Han's every move.
What's more, everyone knows that Kaka is a superstar that Gao Han has always relied heavily on.
"Don't worry, boss, Scolari should have been prepared for it." Granovskiya said.
"Yes, there will definitely be no problem." Chairman Bruce Barker also advised.
But Abramovich still felt uneasy, mainly not because of Kaka, but because of... Gao Han.
I hope that bastard doesn't make any more trouble.
Just as Abramovich's thoughts fell, on the court, referee Weber finally blew the whistle to start the game.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester City, who played at home, immediately put a big push.
Chelsea, who was the first to kick off the ball, transferred the ball to the backcourt with one kick, but the Blue Moon's frontcourt player still rushed forward quickly and put pressure on Chelsea's defense.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Sanchez form the first echelon in the frontcourt, Kaka falls behind, targeting Chelsea's drag-back midfielder Barack.
Manchester City's front-court pressure was very firm and decisive, which surprised Chelsea players, especially the Trident, which was very organized, making it difficult for Chelsea to hold the ball in the midfield and backcourt. Terry had no choice but to pass the ball forward with one kick.
But in the frontcourt, Xavi Martinez headed the ball back to the midfield and handed it to Xavi Alonso.
The Spanish midfielder stopped the ball and immediately passed the ball back to Kompani on the defense line without waiting for Lampard to approach.
Kompanilla went to the left and after receiving the ball, he passed it to David Silva who ran out to respond. After receiving the ball, he quickly advanced along the left and passed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo's feet.
The Portuguese took the ball from the left side of the penalty area and seemed very calm. On the contrary, Essin, who was defending, and Ivanovic, seemed a little nervous, especially Essin. As soon as he saw Cristiano Ronaldo, he was about to shoot, and immediately jumped up, turned around, intending to block the ball with his body.
Unexpectedly, Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly dunked, dunked Essin and shot with his right foot.
The shot was strong and strong, with very fast speed and high quality, but the angle was not large and the distance was a bit far. Goalkeeper Hillaryo blocked the ball with both fists, and Andrad, who returned to the penalty area, quickly cleared the ball out of the penalty area with a big foot.
But the ball still landed at Manchester City's feet.
Amid the cheers of the city stadium, Manchester City players skillfully controlled the ball in the center line.
Chapter completed!
