Chapter 132 Midfield Almighty

Since Gago was a favorite player under Basil's when he was in Boca, he was very familiar with the core characteristics of Real Madrid. He has watched all the games in Real Madrid this season and is familiar with Gago's changing style of playing. In addition, in recent days of training, Basil's position in Gago's Blue and White Army has been clarified.

Midfielder, versatile, panacea!.

Riquelme must be the core to play his abilities, but Gago is different. His style of playing football is very flexible. At Real Madrid this season, he first played an organizational midfielder, and then was asked by Capello to play the left forward because of his ability to break through and pass the ball and score. He also performed very well in this position. After Robinho performed well, he retreated to the position of the midfielder and still performed well. When necessary, he would step forward in the opponent's half-court to organize the team's offense, which is similar to the front midfielder.

After a combination of various intelligences, Basilé gave Gago the position of a free agent in the midfield. Since Gago was originally a right-footed player, he believed that he could also perform at the first-class level in the right forward position.

In order to arrange this suitable position for Gago in the national team's midfield, Basil took great pains. He discussed this issue with his coach for a long time, and it was not until the last two days of the training camp that it was confirmed.

After Gago joined the main side, the strength shown by Argentina's stars in the past two days also surprised him. Gago knew that with his current status, he could not compete for Riquelme's core position, so he was at ease to play support in the midfield instead of competing for the ball like Peron, which completely activated Pampas' luxurious midfield configuration.

Although Riquelme has excellent ball control ability, if the opponent makes up his mind to counterattack, he can completely freeze him with the advantage of numbers. Faced with the siege of three or four players, even Riquelme cannot easily shoot the ball.

At this time, Gago will come to pick up the ball, as the first catch point beside him. Before the opponent sieges Riquelme, transfer the organization's tasks to him. If the opponent is still defending Riquelme, then Gago will let the opponent see the core strength of Real Madrid.

Moreover, Gago's defensive ability is not weak, and he can act as the first barrier in the midfield, giving Mascherano and Cambiaso behind him enough time to organize the second line of defense.

This "light and dark dual-core" tactic is the ultimate skill that Basilère has been practicing in the last time. Although it will be seen through as many games as you play, Argentina will play at most six games even if he wins the championship in the Copa America. In such a short time, this tactic can be used in the finals.

Since Gago joined the main team, Argentina's star national team was able to win. The original substitute used a defensive tactic to fight the main team's offense, and the offense was completely handed over to Gago, Tevez and Milito in the frontcourt. This set of Magic Birds' tactics that led Inter Milan to the triple crown was perfected by Gago.

Now Gago has become the main force. Although Aimal has excellent skills, his physical ability to fight is insufficient and he cannot withstand the defense lines of Mascherano and Cambiaso. This has resulted in Tevez and Milito being isolated in the frontcourt.

On the main side, with Gago sharing the pressure and not snatching the ball, Riquelme showed the ability of a midfielder master. Every time an unknowing pass penetrates the substitute's defense line, Crespo's ability to seize opportunities was amazed by Messi.

After the last five days of training, the main lineup was determined.

The goalkeeper is Abangdan Sheri, the main goalkeeper of Getafe is in very good shape this year. Getafe led by Schuster is the team that conceded the least goals in La Liga. In addition to having an excellent defense line, it is the credit of this Pampas goalkeeper.

The four defenders on the back are Zanetti, Ayala, Milito Jr. Heinze. What makes Gago a pity is that Brazilian gave up Samuel, the world's top central defender. Speaking of Pampas's top central defender, his national team journey is a tragedy. Former head coach Peckermann looked down on him because of his poor performance at Real Madrid, and the current Brazilian once gave him a chance. However, he performed very poorly in Argentina's 0-3 defeat to Brazil, and then he was on the blacklist of Brazil. This Copa America was tragic and he was unable to enter the roster.

The midfielder is the luxurious combination of Mascherano, Cambiaso, Riquelme and Gago. Although this combination only lasts two days of cooperation, the strength it showed makes all players feel confident.

On the forward line, Crespo is the surest main force, and Messi occupied the second position due to his outstanding performance in Barcelona. Tevez was able to occasionally play as a substitute with his identity as a direct person from Boca, while Milito was completely tragic. The silver boots of La Liga could not even make time for substitutes among the Blue and White Legions.

Gago is powerless to do anything about this, and he cannot say that Messi's performance in the national team is a scam, so that Milito can better go on. Gago, who he admires very much, can only comfort him with words.

"Diego, I don't look very good."

On the last day of the training camp in Buenos Aires, after the practice game, Gago came to Milito with a bottle of water. The substitute was massacred by the main player in this game, and Milito's performance could be said to be extremely bad. Gago could see that it was because he didn't feel any hope of playing, so he was a little self-destructive and gave up. Otherwise, with his and Tevez's ability, it would not be possible that Argentina's defense line, which was barely better than Real Madrid, would not have any pressure.

"Thank you, you know, the coach looks down on me."

After Milito took the water handed to him by Gago, he barely smiled and said a dimly. To be honest, he was very envious and jealous of a genius boy like Gago. Milito's lifelong dream was to join the giants. But he always missed the giants and could only hang out in the middle and lower-level teams.

Before Gago left Argentina, it attracted the attention of all European giants and rushed to invite him to join. After Gago entered Real Madrid with the value of the king, he became the prince of the Bernabeu with a stunning performance. This kind of genius with smooth sailing and glitter made him, a striking shooter, feel dazzling.

"Don't worry, I know your strength. If you train carefully, the coach will see it. There will always be a chance to play. If you don't grasp it because you are in a bad state, you may regret it even more."

Although Gago is a junior in terms of age in front of Milito, he is completely like a senior who encourages his juniors. However, his status in the national team is indeed higher than that of Milito. Although those old guys are unwilling to admit it, they still know in their hearts that Pampas's future belongs to Gago and Messi's generation. Therefore, they are also very courteous to them, such talented young people.

"Thank you, I know what you mean."

After hearing this, Milito's expression finally returned to normal, and he was very confident about his strength. However, the fierce competition in the national team's forward line made him unable to see a glimmer of hope. Barsile's first choice is Crespo and Messi, and next is Tevez, the direct line, who basically has no time to play among the four. However, after Gago said this, he knew that he was thinking too much. No matter what, as long as he entered the national team, Barsile would definitely give him time to play, even if it was garbage time. As long as he could grasp the goal, it would not be a dream to become the main player in the future.

"Only opponents like me who have fought with you know your strength, don't give up."

Gago patted Milito on the shoulder, stood up, and prepared to start physical reserve. He had just finished a fierce season. Although his physical fitness was good, it was still good to be able to save more now.

After talking to Gago, Milito began to return to normal. This shooter he liked very much in his previous life can be said to be the most underrated star in the entire Blue and White Army.

After the five-day training camp, the Argentine national team is preparing to go to the host of this Copa America, Venezuela, known as the "beauty country".

Before, Adidas, the Argentina national team's jersey sponsor, also sent the Blue and White Army's jersey this time. In the national team, Gago was not polite and expressed his willingness to want No. 5. No one in the team competed with him, and Gago deserved the great number of No. 5.

Compared to Gago's success, Messi is more pitiful. The number 10 he wants is the most brilliant number of Pampas. However, Riquelme, as the core, said he wants to wear No. 10, and No. 9, which is as important as No. 10, belongs to the national team's number one star Crespo.

Even the 11th was given to his direct line Tevez by Basilé. The grief-in-law King of Coal Balls could only choose the remaining 18.

After all the people chose their numbers and were about to set off for Venezuela, the team joined three assistant coaches. The level of the three assistant coaches made people like Riquelme who were above the top had to bow their heads to greet them.

On the bus to the airport, Maradona, who had a ball-sized belly, was very energetic and gave a speech to the juniors of the national team to inspire morale.

And beside him was Basile with a wry smile. He had a very good relationship with Maradona, so he didn't say anything about such a scattered act.

On the other side, Gago was sitting by the window and looked very cramped. Beside him was Redondo with a smile on his face. Although the former prince was slightly fat, his charming style still made Gago feel pressure.

And beside Messi is Canigia, who still has long hair and flowing, and the smile on her face makes Messi also at a loss.
