~~    Chapter 21 Would rather Messi not score a goal

While the outside world was arguing over the different performances of Gago and Messi in the national team, Argentina welcomed its last opponent in this year's qualifiers.

The current situation in the South American qualifiers is that Argentina wins all three games, scoring the most goals and not losing one goal, and taking the top spot in the group. Colombia tied for third with 5 points, and like Argentina, they are two teams that do not lose one goal.

Argentina's last opponent this year is Colombia. After being eliminated from the Copa America, Colombia's players ate their hard work and finally ushered in an outbreak. They rely on shamelessness and tied Brazil and Bolivia with defensive counterattacks. In the last game, they won the only victory with a goal scored by counterattacks.

It can be said that Colombia is the strongest defense in this South American qualifier.

Argentina scored nine goals in the first three games, and averaged three goals per game as the strongest attack in South America. Now the strongest attack meets the strongest defense, which is also a good show.

Anyway, in South America, the team that has attracted the most attention from fans has become the Blue and White Army, because Brazil is really not good. After inserting the two superstars, Kaka and Ronaldo, Dunga's team did not run as smoothly as in the Copa America.

On the other hand, Argentina originally lost Riquelme as the center of the midfield before the game and was not seen by the outside world, but Gago, who was in the forefront of Real Madrid, slapped the person who said such words with his outstanding performance. He had four goals and three assists in three games. Even if Riquelme is intact, he may not be able to get such data.

Although South America has a few teams, all others are bottom-ups, but Gago's performance has made media celebrities look at him with admiration. Now Gago's reputation in South America has caught up with Riquelme, and in Argentina, his fame has risen all the way, comparable to those superstars.

The outstanding performances in the first three games also allowed Gago to accumulate more confidence. He knew that as long as he did not meet strong teams such as Brazil and Uruguay, in the South American region, he could completely walk sideways with the strength of these Argentina stars.

Colombia's strongest defense in South America was not taken seriously by the Argentine prince. Ten minutes after the start of the game, Gago used his breakthrough to disrupt Colombia's defense line and saw a flaw. The scalpel-like pass instantly allowed Crespo to face the goalkeeper alone, opening the first record for the team.

"It's over, and the game has only started ten minutes. Colombia's goalkeeper Julio's record of not conceding in 874 minutes was ended by Argentina. Gago's performance is still so outstanding. He played at the world-class level in the front midfielder. Will Schuster, who saw this scene, mention the Argentine prince in the club?"

"Colombia, who still defended his own home court, was unable to keep his record of not concing goals. Gago used his strong personal ability to tear open Colombia's proud defense. In the end, Crespo's ability to seize opportunities is worth learning from."

After scoring the goal, Argentina was very happy to celebrate at other people's home court. Crespo ran over and hugged Gago. With such an excellent passer, scoring the goal suddenly became easier.

Although Messi also came to celebrate together, his face was still a little depressed. Gago noticed this and patted his head. Although Gago was not tall, it was definitely taller than Messi, a pure dwarf, and there was no sense of incongruity when patting it.

In the next game, Gago, who was interested in helping Messi, began to pass more to him. I have to say that Xiaotiaosai's personal ability is still very outstanding. After Gago's pass, he kept threatening Colombia's goal, but he was always a little bit worse than the goal.

However, this aroused the arrogance in Gago's heart, and he didn't believe that he could assist Messi to score a goal.

However, the more Gago was deliberately, Messi was farther away from the goal, because Colombia knew Gago's passing route and cut it off in advance before passing to Messi.

After being hit by Colombia several times, Gago calmed down and no longer acted intently. This was the first time he was the main core among the Argentine national team stars. He could not squander his own opportunities. Gago had already fulfilled his friend's obligations to help Messi in the best of his ability.

In the following time, Gago began to restore himself to his "selfless" style, organizing passes made it easier for Colombian players to defend. However, the more you pursue some things, the more you gain, and instead completed them in a state of no desire or desire.

Before the end of the first half, Gago unconsciously passed the ball on the left. After Messi received the ball, he completed a goal that made countless fans amazed. He first changed sideways, accelerated and changed directions and flashed a defensive player, and then he was at ease between the two defensive players. After entering the penalty area with two burdens, he directly shot low and scored his first goal in this qualifier.

"Beautiful goal. In the last game of the qualifiers of this year, Messi finally scored, this goal..."

After Messi scored, countless Barcelona fans breathed a sigh of relief. The fucking goal finally scored. If you don’t score yet, we will not be mocked by Real Madrid fans after the La Liga starts again.

The commentators praised Messi's goal with various gorgeous lines. I have to say that it was indeed very beautiful. The small-scale flashing and moving breakthrough made people excited.

"This guy must be shaking m, and he must be able to score a goal on high difficulty."

Gago was speechless when he saw Messi's goal. He had created better opportunities for him before, and some even scored goals with the right shot. However, all the small jumps were shot away. Instead, under the attack of the two people, they scored at a very small difficulty. This incredible situation made Gago, a "simple-minded" boy, puzzled.

However, it’s good to score a goal, but it’s my own people, so I basically won this game.

During the halftime break, Basilé, who was also this kind of thinking, replaced Gago with Peron. As the team's commander, Gago played every minute in the first three qualifiers, which made Real Madrid's head coach Schuster very dissatisfied.

We will pay this fucking salary, but you don’t feel sorry for your command. You should know that Gago is the absolutely indispensable core of Real Madrid. If you don’t have Gago, at least Riquelme, Veron, and Aimal. Without him, Real Madrid will be half weak. Guti cannot control the overall situation like Gago!

Seeing that he had already led two goals, and seeing that Colombia's proud counterattack could not break Argentina's defense, Basilère thought the overall situation was settled, so he replaced Gago and let him rest and please Real Madrid. Don't think that the head coach of the national team can recruit players at will. The club wants to refuse to let go, but there are reasons.

Although it was a pity for Gago, he thought that he had played four games in such a short time and his physical fitness was indeed consumed a lot, so he would have a good rest, otherwise he would be depressed for a long time when he returned to the club.

However, in the second half, after Gago got off the court, the situation on the court suddenly changed.

First of all, Crespo failed to kick during a shot, and tragically wounded his thigh again. Basil had to replace him with Tevez. But five minutes after the beast came on the court, the referee was sent off with a red card. The reason was that Colombian players kept using small moves to deal with him. Tevez, who had no experience in martial arts and lakes like the senior, couldn't help but stretch out his legs and kicked the opponent.

The kick was a bit concealed, and the referee did not see it, but the lineman saw it and reported it to the referee, so the beast ended up with "glorious".

This was just the beginning. Argentina, who had one less player, quickly suffered. Samuel sat on the bench in this game, and Basil still disliked him. On the court, he partnered with Milito to the centre-back, Bayern's Demichelis, and soon, Basil regretted that he made him appear.

First, in the 60th minute, Demikelis fouled a trip-man, giving Colombia a free kick with a good left position on the frontcourt. Bustos' character burst out and pulled out a curve ball to hit the corner, and the ball was straight at the dead corner Abundansheli was powerless.

1:2, Colombia scored a goal.

At this time, Basil was just a little nervous, but soon he cursed, and it was Demichelis again, and he put the opponent's player in the penalty area. Well, it's still up to date whether it was "put it", but anyway, he just came up and had a little physical contact with the opponent. Then Colombia's forward Cuesta fell to the ground like an electric shock, and rolled for several laps without being able to control his body.

The referee decisively judged the penalty kick, and Cuesta immediately stood up and sent the penalty kick he had made.

Colombia equalized the score in less than ten minutes.

"How the hell is this possible!"

Basilé on the sidelines expressed his anger and turned around and kicked the coach's seat hard.

"Dry!"

Gago, who had just talked and laughed with others on the bench, looked dull at this time.

But they were even more crazy. In the second minute of stoppage time, Moreno, who came on as a substitute, successfully counterattacked Cuesta, who hit the far point, returned to the small angle, and moreno flew around in front of the goal to fill in the ball!

3:2!

Colombia reversed the extremely powerful Argentina at the last moment, and this game was a miracle in some ways.

"It's really unbelievable. Argentina led two goals, after Gago was replaced in the second half, he was reversed by Colombia three goals in a row. Can anyone tell me what's going on?"

The domestic DJ who commented on this game in Argentina went crazy.

"Is it because of Gago's end or Messi's goal?"

This is something a commentator said unconsciously, but it became everyone's argument after the game.

"Barcile ruined Argentina's top spot with a stupid substitution!"

"I would rather Messi not score a goal in exchange for this victory!"

...

For a moment, the weird argument that "Gago is equal to victory on the court, and Messi's goal is equal to losing" spread throughout Argentina and even spread throughout the world.

Although anyone with a heart knows that this is just a joke, some people still agree with it loudly. In football, superstition is also very marketable. Otherwise, how could curse and other curse be taken out by reporters every day!
