Chapter 167 hole cards

"The trump card?"

Gago said he didn't understand.

"In the face of the champion, some principles can still be given up. I think you should use your right foot in this game."

After Redondo said this, Gago immediately patted his forehead. Although he said that he would use this competition to train his left foot, he did not say that he could not use his right foot. His previous opponent was too weak, and the result of using his left foot and his right foot was the same. The difference was just how miserable the opponent died.

But today's game is different. Brazil is an opponent that cannot be defeated without all his strength.

"At worst, I can spend more time to exercise my left foot in the future, but today I don't care. If I don't do my best, I can't beat Brazil."

After thinking it through, Gago nodded at Redondo to show that he understood.

Before everyone walked out of the locker room, Ayala said nothing, and he kept his head covered and said nothing during the entire halftime break. Everyone, including Basilai, did not comfort him. As a veteran, he had no idea how much he had experienced in such a scene, and he could adjust it by himself.

"Javier, after the second half begins, you go up and I'm behind you."

Ayala said to Zanetti before finally walking onto the stadium. He knew clearly that Argentina, who was already two goals behind, had no way out and had to attack desperately, even if it was playing with fire.

"Roberto, I'll leave it to you!"

Sanetti did not refuse, and no matter what, he always believed in this friend of his.

The second half of the game changed sides and Brazil kicked off. However, after the kickoff, all the players in Argentina began to press frantically. Even Riquelme, a person who usually does not defend, delayed the opponent's pressure.

Brazilian players obviously did not expect Argentina to press for all their strength regardless of their physical energy at the beginning.

When defending Baptista, Gago, who was defending back and forth, easily broke the ball under his feet by relying on predictions. Then he handed it to Riquelme. He ran forward and prepared to respond.

However, Riquelme was put on by Brazil again when he broke through. This time, Dunga made up his mind to use fouls to block Argentina's frontcourt offense. Faced with the opponent's crazy tackle, Riquelme was obviously unable to bear it. In the first half, he was a little silent under the focus of the opponent's midfielder. At the beginning of the second half, he finally recovered his energy and was beaten down again.

"This behavior of the Brazilian team is a destruction of artistic football. In addition, this time, their players have already committed 20 fouls. Although Amaria is diligent in blowing the whistle, she is not willing to play cards. The Brazilian team is a little unscrupulous."

Faced with the narrator's sarcasm, Amaria certainly didn't know. He just gave Argentina a free kick.

This free kick, Riquelme, went to the penalty area, with Messi, Crespo and Gago encircling at the same time. Unfortunately, Brazil's goalkeeper Doni attacked in time to block the ball.

Free kick tactics can only be used unexpectedly. As long as the players pay attention and the goalkeeper is more decisive, they can basically defend against Argentina's magic weapon.

In the second half, the Brazilian team attacked a little while when they kicked off, and then retreated again. It seemed that they were preparing to defend the advantage of two goals until the end.

"How can such a good thing be like this?"

Gago looked at the Brazilian team's turtle shell and his face was a little cold. The situation is not good now, but it is not time to despair yet. As long as you can score a goal as soon as possible, the hope in the players' hearts will be burning, and it may be possible to reverse it in the end.

The key is to score a goal!

"The few defenses in the first half probably made them think I was a left-footed player, so it's really good that I can take advantage of this blind spot."

In order to confuse Baptista who was defending him, Gago still used his left foot when he received the ball, and then made a bottom position. After Baptista turned sideways to block his way forward, he switched to his right foot to start cutting inward.

"Oops!"

At this time, Baptista knew that he had made an empiricist mistake. As a Real Madrid player, he naturally knew that this Argentine genius was very good at cutting inward and then hitting the goal. He wanted to pull him, but he remembered that he had already received a yellow card on him, and he might have been sent off after this time.

Thinking of this, his movements began to be a little timid, and he did not dare to use too much movement when chasing back.

After Gagon cut inside, he didn't find any chance to kick. Several defenders in the Brazilian team stopped the space well, and there was basically no route to shoot.

"Just let them move."

Thinking of this, Gago's ankle was thrust and handed the ball to Aimal not far away, and then he stopped by himself and rushed into the penalty area. Baptista, who turned inflexible, was thrown away at once, and Aimal handed the ball over again.

"Beautiful two-by-one, Gago has gotten rid of the defense and entered the penalty area. What will he do?"

At this time, the Argentine fans in the stands stood up and were about to watch the follow-up of this ball. They had a faint expectation in their hearts, but were afraid of losing.

Gago broke through the middle and entered the penalty area. Brazil's central defender Alex immediately came up to force him out. In the first half, Gago broke into the penalty area several times, but because he used his unfamiliar left foot to control the ball, he was either cut or forced to pass the ball.

However, this time, Gago, who had unblocked all his abilities, did not take a mere defense player seriously. He raised his right foot and made a pass posture. Messi had come to prepare for the response. Alex, who also made an empirical mistake, raised his foot to block it, but found that Gago changed the pass to a dunk the moment he touched the ball and quickly passed him.

This way of instantly twisting your ankle and spiking ball can only be done by Gago's most familiar right foot. However, this technique is very harmful to the ankle. If used frequently, it will cause inevitable damage to the ankle, similar to a small killing technique.

After dodging Aless, Gago had only Juan, the central defender, and after him he was the goalkeeper. At this time, Juan had to go up. He gritted his teeth and rushed towards Gago, ready to block his progress.

It was at this moment that Gago, who saw Juan coming up, made a pass gesture again.

"Do you think I'll be fooled again?"

With the lessons of Alex, Juan thought he was very clever to continue to stand in his position, blocking Gago's route and most of the shooting angles.

Seeing that Juan was unmoved, Gago really passed the ball out. This set of tactics was originally flexibly changed depending on the opponent's response.

On the right side, Messi's figure appeared in time. Gilberto almost twisted his foot when facing a small jump, but he still couldn't stop Messi, who was in full swing for national honor.

After receiving the ball, Messi made several sudden stops that could twist his ankle and change direction. When Gago was stuttering his tongue, he passed Gilberto and faced goalkeeper Doni's shot from the top of the goal.

Unexpectedly, Doni, who was so useless in his defender, saw Messi shoot before he could even take a shot. He could only try his best to jump up, stretching his right hand to block his shot. In order to pursue the angle, Messi was not strong enough and his speed was not fast. Doni, who jumped up in time, felt that his fingertips touched the flying ball.

Then, a thud sounded like a sound of nature, which made him feel relieved.

[Brother of the goal post, I will definitely burn high incense for you after the game.]

Just as Doni was thinking this way, a figure with long hair appeared in front of him. He raised his foot and gently knocked it with the instep. The ball rolled into the goal in his horrified eyes.

“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!”

"Fernando Gago, he made a very timely shot and sent the ball into Brazil's goal. Argentina still has hope!"

"A genius' attack, cut from the sideline to the middle. Then break through the middle and pass the ball, and finally insert a supplementary shot in time. Of course, we cannot forget Messi's beautiful breakthrough on the sideline. If it weren't for his shot that made Doni jump, Gago wouldn't have scored so easily."

After scoring the goal, Gago did not celebrate. He rushed into the goal and grabbed the ball, then got the midfield, signaling the referee to drive the ball quickly.

His goal was the 60th minute, and the remaining time was not too much or too little, but for Argentina, every minute was very important. They hoped to end the game in the ninety-minute main game, and no one wanted to enter the cruel penalty shootout.

However, Gago did not celebrate, which did not mean that others did not celebrate. In the coach's seat, Basilé waved his fists excitedly. Redondo and Canigia two calm emperors, at this time, also put aside their gentle appearance and hugged each other to celebrate.

"We still have a chance to continue attacking, and Pampas will win!"

Maradona finally raised her head after most of the game. He shouted very loudly, and the fans in the stands cheered loudly.

This goal gave them hope, hope of equalization or even reversal.

"Gago is a key gentleman, and it's the same in Real Madrid. Although he doesn't score many goals, they are all very critical and even a final kill. This young man gave us a lot of surprises this year, which makes us wonder what his future will be. However, what is certain is that he will become a superstar!"

When they saw Gago, the players in Argentina did not do much, and they also knew that it was not the time to celebrate. They were still behind. They wanted to celebrate, and after winning the championship, there was time.

At this time, Dunga was worried. The tactic he originally formulated was to counterattack the defense. The advantage of the two goals gave him enough confidence to defend the next time, but after Gago scored, this tactic was a bit out of place.

Thirty minutes, no longer or short, with Argentina's offensive ability, he is fully capable of scoring another goal, and may even turn the tables against the sky. The advantage of a goal is the least safe. He lets Argentine players see hope and will stimulate all their abilities to reverse.

At this time, should we attack appropriately and score a goal to completely end the game, or continue to defend our character to see if we can spend it to the end?

After thinking for a minute, Dungar's conservative personality made him decide to continue to defend. He conveyed his instructions to the players who were distracted on the court, and at the same time, he allowed the defensive players on the bench to start warming up and prepare to defend completely in the last time.
