Chapter 20 The gap is in the national team

~~In the first round of the South African World Cup qualifiers, Argentina faced Chile at home. In fact, there was no big grudge between the two sides, but there was a good gimmick found by the media.

The current head coach of the Chilean national team is Argentina's former head coach Bielsa. Speaking of this, he is also a legend. The Argentine nicknamed "Madman" is an absolute offensiveist. During his time in coaching the Pampas Eagles, the entire Blue and White Army played the smoothest attack in the world. The madman-like 3-3-1-3 formation allowed Bielsa to lead the Pampas Eagles to sweep all teams in the South American qualifiers in the 2002 South Korea-Japan World Cup, and beat the Samba Legion to qualify as the first place.

However, this top-heavy formation made Argentina humiliated in the Korean and Japanese World Cup, leaving a generation of war god Barty with an unmatched national team goal record and then retired.

After handing over the coaching point of the Argentine national team, Bielsa lived in seclusion for a period of time, and then took over the coaching point of the Chilean national team.

Under his leadership, the Chilean national team has become another force that cannot be underestimated in South American football. The team trained with his unique offensive concept is the one with the most goals in the entire South American football world. Of course, relative to that, the most goals are also conceded.

This game is generally the most watched game in the South American qualifiers. After all, Brazil's opponent is too weak, and only this game is a bit interesting.

Although Chile's overall strength is not as good as Argentina, their offense can break the defense line of any team. Moreover, in this game, Riquel Met, the Argentine national team's midfielder core, could not play due to injury. Without this midfielder as an opponent, Chile might not be able to compete.

"Although Gago is good, he is absolutely unable to compare with Rikelme. We have great hope of winning this game. As long as you follow my instructions,"

In the locker room before the game, Bielsa used various means to hypnotize his players, and what he said was not unreasonable. Even if Gago was popular recently, he could not compare with Riquelme's reputation for nearly ten years.

In the Chilean national team, Bielsa is a heroic figure. All players do not hesitate to execute his orders, so they think they can win this game.

If Gago knew that he was underestimated like this, he would probably let these Chilean rustics know what the Pampas Eagle is on the court.

However, even if Gago didn't know, he used all his strength to deal with Chile. Because he rarely sat in the center of the midfield in this game. Although it was because of Riquelme's injury, Gago would use his outstanding performance to let the fans know that he was the core position, you don't have to worry.

So, the Chilean team was tragic in this game. Although Gago can only be said to be a junior in the national team, he joined Real Madrid, and his strength has been recognized by all the big guys in the Copa America. Therefore, no one stood up to oppose him as the core national team because he has this strength.

Gago did not disappoint all the fans who were optimistic about him. In the game against Chile, he led Argentina's midfield to completely suppress Chile. In today's football world, those who win the midfield will win the world. When Gago controlled the midfield, the proud attack of Chile, which could not be supported, was instantly extinguished.

Cambiaso dispatched the ball in the backcourt. Gago organized the offense in the frontcourt, and Aimal was around him as a support. Ten minutes into the game, Gago created a chance for Crespo to face the goalkeeper alone. If it weren't for the fact that Senior Ke was a little too hasty, Argentina would have led with one goal.

But even so, Chile only lasted twenty more minutes.

In the 30th minute, Gago's first shot from outside the penalty area, which seemed to be a real pass and shot. The Chilean goalkeeper stood too far ahead. Gago instantly caught the flaw.

But this was just the beginning. Ten minutes later, Gago and Aimal collided continuously in the middle to fight into the penalty area and scored one-on-one goalkeeper and shot from the far corner.

In the first half, the Argentine prince scored two goals for the team, basically setting the tone of the game. After the start of the second half, Basilé asked the team to continue the attack, and the Chilean team also began a vigorous attack under the guidance of Bielsa.

However, Argentina's strength was higher, and at the end of the game, Chile died miserably. In the second half, Crespo received a straight pass from Gago in a counter-offside.

At the last moment of the game, Aguero, who came on the bench, pushed the ball into the near corner from the left side of the penalty area and scored the last goal for the team.

In the first round of the South American qualifiers, the Argentine national team massacred Chile with an undisputed 4:0. This score tells everyone. Fighting against the Blue and White Legion is seeking death.

In this game, Gago dominated all the goals, two shots and two passes, and his hot state made all Real Madrid fans scream. Before the game, the experts and celebrities who were worried that Gago would not be mature and steady were not as mature as Riquelme, as if they had never said this result, all changed their words and praised the Argentine prince. They all said that Argentina no longer needed Riquelme because Gago was better than Riquelme who was far away from the European League.

Of course, Gago's shocking data made Messi, who has always been comparable to him, very embarrassed. In the game against Chile, Barcelona's Golden Boy, who scored seven goals in the last six games, was silent. In the national team, without Barcelona's midfield support, his performance was even worse than Aguero.

Of course, Barcelona's media naturally have to defend their children. They used conspiracy theories to say that Gago, as the core of the midfield, did not pass the ball to Messi, which made his performance dim.

However, as soon as this sentence came out, it was criticized by countless data emperors. The German media, who liked to speak with data the most, analyzed the entire game in detail to every second.

Gago's pass count was 84 in one game, of which 15 times were given to Messi alone, creating at least four chances of shooting for Xiaotiaosai, but Messi was not sure of it once, and even once he made a single shot.

Under such detailed data, the conspiracy theory of Barcelona media instantly became a big joke, and even Messi was shot and was considered by fans to be a person who could not afford to lose.

However, Barcelona's conspiracy theory has made Gago's fame more. Messi used to be compared with him. Fans have always thought that these two people are of equal strength and no one can defeat each other. However, this idea was immediately exposed in the national team. Through his performance with Chile, fans realized that the gap between the two people was in the national team!

However, a game cannot explain anything. Maybe it's just Gago's extraordinary performance, while Messi is just too tired at the club and hasn't adjusted yet.

So, in the second round of the following, Argentina's match against Venezuela, which broke Ecuador's unbeaten home record in the last round, once again attracted the attention of many fans, and the Brazilian team's ratings were once again suppressed by the Blue and White Legion.

In this game, Gago continued his outstanding form recently. He took advantage of a set piece opportunity in the first half to drop the ball into the penalty area and Milito easily headed the ball at the front point.

Then in the second half, a world wave at the top of the penalty area was blown open Venezuela again, using one pass and one shot to help the Blue and White Army defeat Venezuela 2:0!

After this game, Messi still did not score. This time the fans' eyes were bright. They carefully observed the interaction between Gago and Messi and found that Gago had indeed passed a lot of balls to Xiaotiao. But Messi couldn't score every threat ball, as if his hot footwork was consumed in the club.

However, Gago performed well in two consecutive games. All Argentina's goals were related to him. He was better at the core of the midfield than Riquelme. The remarks that "rick Riquelme and let Gago take the lead" that originally had no market in China gradually began to spread.

Fans and the media are very realistic. Whoever performs better will be in the top position.

Gago's performance in recent times can be said to be a superstar. In addition, he was very popular in Argentina and also played for Real Madrid, the world's number one club.

What is getting worse is that Riquelme has not played in Europe for nearly a year. He loaned to Boca Youth in the second half of last season. After the loan expired, Villarrell recycled him, but because the conflict with Pellegrini cannot be resolved, Riquelme was originally in a state of no ball to play this season. Boca Youth is actively raising funds to bring back the midfield master who went out of the Candy Box Stadium again.

Currently, Riquelme has returned to Boca Youth on loan again. Unfortunately, unfortunately, he was injured after playing a few games. Basil had to give up on him and let him recover.

It was by this coincidence that Gago was appointed as the new commander of the Blue and White Legion. The Argentine prince shown in Real Madrid did not disappoint Barsile, and made up for Riquelme's position well. He even performed better. At this moment, Barsile, the head coach of the Blue and White Legion, began to have a headache.

Riquelme is his favorite player. Gago is also the genius who left Boca Youth from him//The fastest text update without ads//. The palms and backs of hands are all flesh, and he feels distressed no matter who is missing. Because there are too many good players, Basile is jealous of more than 90% of the head coaches in the world.

Amid such troubles, Argentina won its third opponent in the qualifiers, Bolivia.

There is nothing to say. The Blue and White Legion had no mercy when facing this opponent who had lost in their hands several times, and easily won three consecutive games 3:0.

Aguero, who played as the main player for the first time, scored his second goal of the adult national team. Zanetti made a cross from the side and then headed the ball in front of the goal. Aguero headed the ball into the goal.

Then Aguero, who was excited, kept breaking through. After being put in one, Gago easily scored the free kick he created. This goal directly bypassed the wall and drilled into the upper corner of the goal, a theoretical blind spot.

In the end, Messi, who had been suppressing for a long time, suddenly broke out and dribbled the ball from the right side of the backcourt, drove straight into the road, and then shot. The ball hit the post after defeating the goalkeeper. Tevez, who had been picking up the bar in the past, scored the third goal for the team.

Fans don’t know what to say about this goal. Messi’s series of breakthroughs are indeed very beautiful, but he is insulated from goals in the national team.

On the contrary, Gago is in a better state in the national team than in the club.

After watching the qualifiers, all the fans sighed in their hearts again, the gap turned out to be in the national team! ~~
