I am Kaka

Chapter 339 The Century Holds Hands

On the afternoon of August 7, British local time, the 2005 Community Shield will start at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.

The majestic Cardiff Millennium Stadium has distinctive modernist architectural features, and the sharp steel and iron bones all show the beauty of modern architectural art. This is the second largest stadium in the world with movable covers, and even their The turf is movable, so in addition to holding various sports competitions, it can also hold concerts, exhibitions and other activities. This year, it became the venue for the first indoor competition of the World Rally.

Before entering the stadium, you can feel the fanaticism of the fans. The majestic singing and the ups and downs of the crowd one after another made the atmosphere of the game extremely warm.

As a warm-up before the start of the league, whether the Community Shield can win the championship is secondary, and the main purpose is to practice the lineup and test new players. This can be seen from the fact that each side has six substitutions.

But in today's game, both sides obviously have ideas about the championship, which can be seen from the formation of troops.

Ancelotti did not send Sneijder, Ribery, Essien and other players who urgently need experience in major competitions to improve themselves and integrate into the team, but chose experienced veterans like Figo and Makelele.

The opponent is also the main force, Giggs, Scholes and other old guys who have to allocate every point of physical strength to every minute of the game are all starting.

Although everyone attaches great importance to the first game of the new season, for people like Kaka, Figo, and Sheva who have rolled on the turf of the Champions League final many times, this scene is really not worth it. In Kaka’s view, Torres, Maicon, Lucio and others played for the new team for the first time. The bird looks worried too?

Kaka kicked the ball that Torres had kicked at him to Joe Cole, and asked by the way: "Joe, what's going on? You look nervous?"

"Kaka, don't you really know?" Joe Cole stepped on the ball, obviously not in the mood to play any pre-match games, "You haven't watched the news these days?"

"What news?" Shevchenko booed, "The one where Fernando stayed at Kaka's house or the one where they share a hairstylist?"

Kaka: ...

Torres: "...my house hasn't moved yet, what's so strange about living in Kaka's house for a few days?"

"England's newspapers are really good,

I used to know that there are a group of evil spirits living in Fleet Street, but I didn’t expect it to be worse than the rumors.” Ned sighed, and then complained, “They actually went to the trash can outside my house! Want to find out what's inside? Marijuana or conch cause? Do I look like a junkie? "

Makelele took off his earplugs and said loudly: "No, no, no, they didn't look for anything specifically, but they can make big news if they find anything, so you should pay attention, guys, halo kits, cigarette butts, Underpants and stuff, handle with caution - of course if you don't mind them being on the headlines of some English paper the next day, just pretend I didn't say anything, in the end, that's what you're dealing with Life, so welcome to the Premier League."

"What is this? You haven't seen anything more powerful." His Dutch fellow Van Persie held back his mouth, motioned Joe Cole to kick the ball to himself, and continued the topic just now while juggling the ball. "The reason why they are nervous is because Because we're in the south dressing room at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff."

"South locker room?" Ned asked, "What's so special about the south locker room?"

Maicon, Lucio, Ribery and others also looked over.

Those who understood the situation immediately started talking in a hurry.

"My God, you don't watch the news? There's a lot of noise out there now."

"Cardiff's Millennium Stadium has a famous south dressing room spell."

"Seventeen finals of various types have been held here, and the winning teams used the north locker room for 14 of them... Do you think there are at least three teams from the south locker room that have won? There is nothing to be surprised about But do you know what they did for those three victories? A win was a minor League Two play-off, won by Stoke City using the south dressing room and they hired local Welsh artist Vika To hide the curse, he painted a seven-foot mural of a phoenix, a galloping horse, and a sun for the South Clothes Room, yes, the one behind Frank."

"The two victories in the south dressing room were created early by Arsenal. In order to break the curse, they specially invited a Feng Shui master from China to advise them. Not only did they change the placement of several facilities, but also They used the mysterious Chinese spell, and they really beat their opponents here twice in a row, but just when people thought the spell had been completely broken by Arsenal, they lost to Manchester United again in the Community Shield, so The South Clothes Curse at the Millennium Stadium continues..."

"Do you think that Arsenal are really unlucky, and they always draw the south locker room? But in fact, the FA does not allocate the locker room according to the lottery, but according to the 'southern team uses the south locker room, and the northern team uses the south locker room. The team uses the tradition of the northern dressing room. Unfortunately, Manchester United is a northern team, and London is located in the southeast of England, so the southern dressing room is almost exclusively prepared for southern teams such as Arsenal and Chelsea. In addition, even if this If we play against Manchester United but Arsenal, it will still be us who will use the south dressing room, because Arsenal are in north London and Chelsea are in south London."

A group of people looked at each other, and the atmosphere became a little weird.

Most people who play football are superstitious, especially there are many believers in it, and there is a market for godly things among the players, so there are many seemingly weird rules, such as women cannot ride in the same car with the team. You can’t touch trophies, etc. As for the players’ personal superstitions, there are more superstitions, which side of the socks must be put on first, which foot must be stepped on the court before playing, what color tie the coach must wear...

England's most famous example of metaphysics comes from their opponent Manchester United in this game. In 1999, the Red Devils reversed Bayern in the last 3 minutes and won the Treble. After the game, Ferguson said in an interview that it must be Bass in those 3 minutes Sir than did something in the sky.

Why are you so swearing? Because the 1999 Champions League final was Sir Busby's 90th birthday...

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more wrong, Kaka couldn't help laughing: "I've heard of the curse of the Community Shield Cup. It is said that any team that wins the Community Shield Cup championship will miss the league championship in the end. This argument……"

"That's right!" Glenn Johnson patted his thigh, "So even if we lose this game, it's okay, and we can still avoid the curse of the Community Shield..."

"So your goal in this game is to lose the game, isn't it, gentlemen?" Ancelotti didn't know when he came in, and only then slowly opened his mouth to insert everyone's topic.

Glenn Johnson turned around stiffly, looked at Ancelotti behind him, "...Boss, that's not what I meant."

Ancelotti didn't look at him again, but slowly scanned the other players, "Anyone who thinks we should lose this game can bring it up now, and I can send him to the reserve team to report. It doesn't matter if you lose."

A group of people naturally dare not fart.

"I don't care about the magic of the South locker room or the magic of the Community Shield Cup. I have only one requirement for this game: victory, victory, victory!" Ancelotti said with a sullen face, "We invested 200 million yuan this summer. !Our salary is the highest among all football players in the world! We have three world footballers! Why are we going to take that shit like runner-up? Oh, I forgot, there is no runner-up in this game, only winners and Losers! So, which one do you want to be now? Lose the game in a foolish way, and then blame it on that shit-like curse with peace of mind?"

"John Terry! Ricardo! One of you is the captain, the other is the most expensive person in the team, tell me your choice!"

"We will win! BOSS!" Terry shouted, "Manchester United must step over my dead body if they want to score goals!"

"Very good, how about you? Kaka!"

"I'll break that shit-like spell, not with some famous artist's murals, or some Chinese Feng Shui master, but with my feet and my fighting spirit!" "So, tell me now, our goal What is it?"

"Victory! Victory! Victory!"

A group of people rushed out of the dressing room screaming like hungry wolves, and met Manchester United in the player tunnel.

Keane, wearing the captain's armband, went straight to Kaka.

Sheva, Torres, Maicon and others immediately surrounded him. The referee saw that something was wrong and immediately stepped forward.

"Roy, what do you want to do?"

"Don't be nervous, I won't eat him, I just came to say hello to the World Footballer."

Kaka also signaled his teammates to get out of the way, and looked at Keane without fear, "How do you want to greet? With fists? I don't mind beating you outside the court."

"No, no, 80 million, I can't afford to beat you to death, although I want to kill you as easy as crushing a chicken," Keen said, "I'm curious, that Russian How much did someone pay you to make you leave a champion team like Milan and lick his PY?"

"Chelsea gave me the highest annual salary in the world, and I will bring them all the championships they can get," Kaka stared into Keane's eyes, his tone was gentle, but his words were sharp, "Start from this game."

"If you make it out alive..."

"Okay, Roy," although eating melons next to him was quite enjoyable, but seeing them getting worse and worse, the referee could only interrupt aloud, "This is a football field, not a boxing ring. You play whatever you want, if you can, I will even buy you a bet, but now, give me an honest game, otherwise I don't mind letting you come back to take a shower early, and you, Kaka, I don't Thinking it’s a good thing to pick on Keane doesn’t just make my job harder, it makes it harder for yourself.”

"Then what should I do? Beg for mercy? Ask a defeated player?" Kaka shrugged, "Also, your vision is really bad, Mr. Referee, why don't you buy him a bet? English people are so rich ?"

The referee looked at the popular football king who was portrayed by the outside world as a gentleman on the Sunshine Youth Stadium, and was very angry.

...

"The game has started, Manchester United serve first."

"Manchester United played a 4-4-2 formation with a diamond.

Forwards: Rooney, Van Nistelrooy;

Midfielders: Giggs, Cristiano Ronaldo, Scholes, Fletcher;

Defenders: Gary Neville, Ferdinand, Sylvester, O'Shea;

Goalkeeper: Van der Sar.

Van der Sar is a newly introduced player this summer. He and Park Ji-sung are the two most expensive signings of Manchester United this summer. Among them, the transfer fee of a Korean player is 7 million euros, while Van der Sar is only 2 million - who would have thought of this? Is it the work of the Premier League champions last season? The transfer fee of Zambrotta alone can allow Manchester United to buy 15 goalkeepers. "

"Chelsea played an unfamiliar 4-2-2-2.

Forwards: Shevchenko, Torres;

Front midfielder: Kaka, Figo;

Defenders: Makelele, Essien;

Defenders: Maicon, Lucio, Terry, Zambrotta;

Goalkeeper: Cech.

Ancelotti actually sent two sweeping midfielders instead of a full-back. Makelele and Essien have to take on more important defensive responsibilities when the full-back assists and advances.

And Figo seems to be used by the Italian coach as a front midfielder, but he and Kaka both have the attributes of being able to hit the ground, so the positions of Chelsea's two front midfielders should be very flexible and cannot be regarded as ordinary midfielders. treat. "

Manchester United played Giggs' side.

Wang Laoji, who was nearly 32 years old, was still very competitive with the ball on the left, especially at the beginning of the game, when he had sufficient physical strength, he was actually much sharper than Ronaldo on the other side.

"Combined by two veterans, Giggs and Scholes made a cross from the wing after two consecutive one-twos. Ruud van Nistelrooy headed the goal, but unfortunately he hit it too squarely. Petr Cech confiscated the ball with both hands. "

Cech kicked the ball with a big foot, and the football fell to the midfield.

Kaka waded the ball directly from Keane's crotch, but Keane had already guarded against this kick, and quickly closed his feet to block the ball, but Kaka had already come to him, and the ball that was blocked by him Pushed to his left and rushed out.

Naturally, Keane couldn't catch up after madly chasing after him, but Kaka still hung a tail behind him.

"Kaka is dribbling the ball from the side, C. Ronaldo is chasing after him, it seems that the speed has not slowed down much..."

Ronaldo took advantage of the start. When Kaka just moved forward with the ball, he was catching up from behind and had reached the fastest speed. Kaka not only started from scratch, but also carried a ball under his feet. , The speed of the two of them was even more than half a catty.

But although he can barely keep up, unless Ronaldo puts a shovel behind his back, he will definitely not be able to stop Kaka.

Kaka sent a crescent cross to Sheva directly in the ribs of the penalty area.

This is the position at the forty-five-degree angle of the penalty area, and it is also the most difficult position to pass, and it is the position that makes Manchester United people feel a lot of emotion.

The football flew in front of the goal, looking at the direction, it was ready to go towards the baseline, but when it came to the small penalty area, it made an exaggerated turn, bypassing the two defenders Ferdinand and Sylvester, and came to the left side of the goal .

Shevchenko jumped in quickly, jumped high, and headed the goal.

The Chelsea people in the stands jumped up, ready to celebrate, but Ferguson on the sidelines sank, and was frightened to stop asking for chewing gum.

But at the moment when the football was about to fly over the goal line, Van der Sar flew over and blocked the football with his right hand.

O'Shea, who was behind, quickly squatted down and let the football fly over her head, then quickly turned around and made a big-foot clearance.

"Manchester United escaped a catastrophe! Kaka's pass makes it easy to compare him with Beckham. The crosses of the two are too recognizable. Shevchenko's shot is also very powerful. It's a pity. Dutch goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar reacted very quickly, if this is not his accidental performance but his regular strength, then I take back what I just said, fifteen Zambrottas can't buy such a goalkeeper..."

Sheva also kicked the turf depressedly, but still gave Kaka a thumbs up, indicating that the ball was passed very well, and the more the better in the future.

Kaka also shook his head regretfully, turned around and walked towards his own half, and suddenly found that Ronaldo was following behind him on the left.

He didn't know what he was thinking, and reached out his hand to Ronaldo in a strange way.

Ronaldo looked at Kaka's back strangely, stretched out his right hand and patted it.

The two hands were clearly about to shoot, but the camera guy on the sidelines had full-level capture skills and accurately captured this moment. In the static image, it looked like Kaka was leading Ronaldo forward.

It’s just an ordinary way of greeting on the court, which is nothing unusual. Even Ferguson, who knew that Kaka actually admired Ronaldo, didn’t make any messy associations, but when Ronaldo finally caught up with Kaka’s back in the future, Only then did everyone realize that this picture actually has an inexplicable sense of fate.

Enemy and friend, hand in hand for centuries.
