Chapter 43: The Birth of the King of Efficiency
The black and hard return instantly made Real Madrid's call for winning the championship surge again.
After the winter break, although Real Madrid achieved a complete victory in the league, without this midfield interceptor, Gago focused more on defense, resulting in Real Madrid's offense no longer being as invincible as the first half of the season. When facing Zaragoza, Levante and Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid scored in the last twenty minutes of the second half.
In a certain way, Real Madrid is suffering from Gago's dependence. Only when the Argentine prince performs well can the White Legion be invincible. However, Gago is still a distance away from his predecessor Redondo and cannot achieve world-class status on both offense and defense alone.
Everyone admits that Real Madrid, with Gago, is like a tiger with wings in offense. The most correct thing that Schuster did after taking over Real Madrid is to continue Capello's double midfielder tactics. With the black and hard Diarra sharing the defense, the Argentine Prince's offensive ability has been fully activated this season.
Originally, Schuster planned to play a single midfielder tactic, but because the cooperation between Gago and Diyala was so good, Real Madrid still had a double midfielder configuration. This time, Hei Yewei left briefly because of the African Cup. Although Real Madrid's performance did not decline, Gago's condition was not as good as the first half of the season.
Now it is the league's phase. As long as the opponents are won in the next few rounds, Schuster will have enough confidence to rotate in the Champions League knockout half a month later.
If you want to win the opponent more easily, Gago's performance is the key, and Diara's return, who cooperates with the Argentine prince, is undoubtedly a great thing.
So the media in Madrid were all overjoyed, but the journalists from Real Madrid's hostile faction began to cry.
Can't you get injured like last season? Real Madrid has won eight consecutive victories in the league. In the league, Barcelona can't even win against each other. Is it suspense?
However, it was probably because of the prayers of Barcelona fans that God heard. Real Madrid unexpectedly encountered difficulties when they challenged the newly promoted Almeria away.
When Pepe first started defending, he collided with Almeria's forward Negredo and was injured. After the winter break, injuries inevitably came to Real Madrid, and it was found on the team's defensive core Pepe.
After Pepe left the court, Negrado from Real Madrid did not give his mother team any politeness. After involving Cannavaro in the first half, he passed the ball to Vanito's shot in the small penalty area. Casillas magically saved it. However, the referee signaled that the ball had crossed the sideline and the goal was valid.
Real Madrid fell behind with one goal in the first half and entered the halftime break. Schuster quickly used the second substitution. Regardless of how Diyala rested after the African Cup, he immediately replaced Baptista.
However, without cooperation in several games, Gago and Hei's hard cooperation actually created a sense of strangeness, which led to the opponent scoring another goal in the 40 seconds of the second half. Cannavaro put Negredo in the penalty area very badly, and the referee was not soft-hearted and directly awarded a penalty. The latter took the penalty and made it a penalty in one go. This was his seventh league goal this season. The center forward from Castia's youth training camp is now a first-class scorer in La Liga.
However, the child's ability to be excited as soon as he hits Real Madrid makes the Meilingges angry and hate them.
After seeing two goals behind, Real Madrid's stars were all crazy in an instant. The last game of the White Army lost in the league in the 11th round last year. At that time, all the first team was seriously injured due to the national team's match day and was defeated by Sevilla 20 at Pidzjuan Stadium.
Are you going to lose again today? Will the eight consecutive victories end like this?
"I originally planned to score the highest winning streak in La Liga, although that record was also set by Real Madrid!"
After re-teletting, Gago whispered to Guti beside him. The La Liga winning streak was a 15-game winning streak established by Real Madrid in ancient times, led by Puskas, and according to Real Madrid's momentum this season, it is still very likely to be broken.
"Young people, sometimes they should respect their seniors."
Guti said something after knocking the ball to Gago, and then started to insert it forward.
“But isn’t the record just used to break it?”
After saying this, Gago looked at the situation in the opponent's penalty area, then directly swung his thigh and shot a long shot with a powerful long shot. Due to an inexplicable emotion, this long shot hit an extremely high level and quickly fell after hitting the air, hitting the upper corner of the goal before the opponent's goalkeeper jumped up.
"That's it, attack me, equalize, overtake, and reverse!"
Shuster, who was off the court, saw Gago hitting a beautiful world wave, stood up passionately and shouted at the players on the court.
The Real Madrid stars naturally don't want their winning streak to be stopped by a newly promoted team, so they launched a crazy attack on Almeria's goal in the following time. The overwhelming offensive made the opponent's defense shaky. At this time, Almeria had retreated from defense at all, and there was no one in the frontcourt except for a Negray counterattack.
Fanny and Raul kept pulling in and out inside and outside the penalty area, while Robinho and Gago were using their small skills to make breakthroughs.
In the 70th minute, Van Nie received a straight pass from Guti, but the referee signaled that offside was the first, and the goal was not counted. This penalty aroused the dissatisfaction of the entire Real Madrid team, but they did not have time to say anything to the referee, because after the goal, Van Nie fell to the ground with his thigh in pain.
""!"
When Shuster saw the team doctor making a substitution gesture, he kept swearing. Real Madrid was lucky this season, and several important players were basically not injured except Pepe. Of course, Robben's cheating glasses are not included. But the good luck has ended here. After the winter break, he spent four rounds of the league safely. Today, the two players on the offensive and defense line were injured at the same time. The team doctor's intention was that the injury was not light.
Looking at the bench, Higuain's diligent attitude instantly emerged in the German mind, and asked the assistant coach to signal Xiao Yanqiuyan to play.
After hearing the message from the assistant coach, Higuain showed an excited look on his face. This season, due to his outstanding condition of two old guns, he has few opportunities to play, and every substitute is cherished very much. Now that Van Nie is injured, if he can seize this opportunity, he might be able to replace him as the main force during the Dutch's departure.
So, after playing, Higuain tried hard to find opportunities. His talent was recognized by Fanny and Raul, and what he lacked was the skill of a shot. After all, he was not decisive enough when shooting, and he was not as confident as the two of the Kings of the Small Boundary Zone and the Lord of the Rings.
Real Madrid's two old guns this season have been ups and downs in football for nearly ten years and are recognized as the top striker, so they are very confident when shooting, and they will shoot when they find opportunities and never delay. The midfielder led by Gago is really amazing. They can create many opportunities for both of them in every game, so they are now at the top of the scorer list.
What Higuain needs now is confidence, the kind of decisiveness that can make a move when he finds an opportunity. These require a lot of goals to be cultivated. Of course, it may also be that he suddenly becomes enlightened.
The profession of forwards became famous at a young age and was also late.
Raul is a typical example of becoming famous at a young age. He was called Prince Bernabeu since he was a child. He was lucky enough to catch up with a peak period of Real Madrid. Fans were tolerant of newcomers. Under the feeding of the midfield group led by Redondo at that time, the "Lord of the Rings" was born.
Fanny can barely be said to be a late-stage representative. When he debuted, he played the position of the scavenger. After the coach's suggestion to play the forward, he was extremely uncomfortable at first. However, after watching the "Ice Prince" Borgkamp's playing football method in person, he suddenly became enlightened within a season and then became one of the most terrifying killers in the world's penalty area!
Higuain is very lucky to have personal demonstrations from two seniors, Raul and Fanny, at Real Madrid. Now a season has passed. If he has not practiced yet, he will waste his talent in vain.
After playing, Higuain and Gago instantly sparked, with a straight pass, and Gago gently knocked the ball to the left rib of the penalty area. Xiao Yangu came to this gap in time, facing the goalkeeper who was attacking without any hesitation, and directly shot in the near corner.
But unfortunately, after crossing the opponent's goalkeeper Alves, he hit the post and bounced out of the bottom line.
Corner kick!
Gago immediately came to the corner kick area to take the penalty. Real Madrid players and Almeria players rushed to the goal at the same time, preparing to compete for this set ball.
However, Gago did not drive directly to the goal, but pushed it to Robinho not far away. Robbie passed to the middle again. The Fourteenth Master let all the fans see his unparalleled straight pass. A white figure turned around and successfully offside the moment Guti passed the ball. This time, facing goalkeeper Alves, Higuain did not miss again, and a low shot sent the ball into the goal.
Higuain, who came on as a substitute, helped Real Madrid score an equalizer in the last minute.
Higuain, who scored a goal, ran around the stadium excitedly, then came to Shuster and hugged him.
Gago looked at Higuain's goal just now and felt the South American sharp knife of the later White Legion, because of his excitement, was born early. In my impression, Higuain was only able to get to know the last few rounds of the league. Now the league is just half over, but Xiaoyan Gun has already shown the horror of the king of efficiency, with two shots and one goal. It seems that after this season, the competition for the Argentine national team's forward line will probably be even more tragic.
"Sure enough, geniuses all need opponents to improve, but I won't be like a stupid horse."
Gago looked at Higuain who was extremely excited and went over to celebrate with a smile. Little Smoke Gun was enlightened in advance, which was a good thing for the team.
Chapter completed!
