Chapter 70 A Perfect Start

In the past, players from Real Madrid and Barcelona would have a few more conversations before the game started, but at this moment, everyone is very tactful and stand on their side and try not to look at their opponents.

Messi secretly glanced at Gago beside him, and felt that the expression on his face was shaking, and he felt that this game was not easy to play. Fortunately, the expressions on the faces of Barcelona players immediately became solemn after entering the stadium. They are the giants who know the strength of Real Madrid best. After Real Madrid got Gago in the past two years, Barcelona has never taken advantage of Real Madrid again.

If Gago hadn't been absent in the last game, it would be hard to say the outcome of the game. Before we knew it, Barcelona's players already felt powerless towards Gago. This young man was versatile and had basically no shortcomings. Barcelona lacked those players with top defensive abilities, and they could not suppress him in every game.

At 20:45 local time on April 29, Spain, in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Real Madrid faced Barcelona at home.

"Friends, welcome to watch this focus battle. The grudge between Real Madrid and Barcelona continued to the Champions League. In the league, Real Madrid can defend the title and win the championship as long as they win another point. However, in the Champions League, the situation of the White Army is not very good. Barcelona, ​​who has no hope in the league, put all their hopes in the Champions League. In the first round of the Camp Nou battle, due to Gago's absence, Real Madrid lost two goals to their opponents, and the home battle in the second round became a life-and-death battle that must be attacked."

After the commentators from major TV stations explained the meaning of this game in detail to their audiences, the players of the two teams came to the court under the leadership of their respective captains. A burst of cheers broke out in the scene. Today's Bernabeu was particularly noisy.

The entire stadium is basically covered with white, and Barcelona's 3,000 away fans are squeezed into a corner and show their presence.

The referee of this game was France's Bree, who came up to signal the captains of the two teams to guess the ball.

"Captain, I think we need the ball right now!"

When Raul went up, Gago came to him and said softly. After hearing this, the latter nodded to show his understanding.

Everyone understands the situation of Real Madrid now. The gap between the two goals can only be fiercely attacked to advance. However, Schuster's idea is still very clear and has not disrupted the team's main lineup for the sake of attack. This time Real Madrid's 11 people are the most stable main lineup this season.

Goalkeeper Casillas, with Heinze, Cannavaro, Pepe, Ramos in the back line; Diarra Gago, Robben and Robinho in the midfield; Raul and Fanny in the forwards.

With this lineup, Real Madrid has defeated all opponents who dare to block him this season, and Schuster believes that as long as the team exerts all their offensive abilities, scoring two goals from Barcelona is not a problem.

As for Barcelona, ​​Rijcard did not change his previous lineup and made up his mind to use ball control to kill Real Madrid. It seems that the result of the last game gave him a taste of the sweetness. With Xavi matured, Deco has already been on the bench. Under the leadership of a group of players from La Macia, Barcelona has gradually embarked on the road of maturity. The current gap between "Dream 2" and "Dream 3" is just Guardiola.

Raul was lucky to lose, and Real Madrid got the kick-off.

As Brey blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, the two players who were already slow and leisurely got into the state instantly. Raul handed the ball to Gago with one kick and ran forward by himself.

Gago took the ball off with his instep. Facing Goodjohansen's press, he turned around and wiped him.

In this game, Barcelona used their traditional formations 4-3-3. The three of the midfielders, Xavi, Yaya Toure, and Goodjohansen, could be said to have worn Guti to death in the last game. The trident in the frontcourt was a combination of Messi, Etoo and Henry. In order to solve the coexistence problem of Henry and Etoo, Rijkaard withdrew the more versatile Henry to be the second striker. After partnering with Borgkamp for so long, Henry was able to adapt to this position.

When Gago dribbled the ball and was about to drive straight in, Barcelona's defense line instantly tightened towards him. In Rijcard's eyes, the Argentine prince is Real Madrid's biggest enemy, and he will not lose his mind when he is provoked like Guti. All he could do is to tear the opponent's defense line with the pass and then help his teammates score.

As the midfielder of the engineer, Yaya Toure was the first to meet him, and behind him, Goodjohansen, who was thrown away, turned around and chased him back as soon as possible. If Gago insisted on breaking forward, he would be attacked by someone in the moment he met Yaya Toure.

"You seem to underestimate Real Madrid players too much!"

Seeing Barcelona tightening the entire defense line toward him, Gago said in his heart, and then split the ball out at the moment he was double-teamed. Although Robben on the right was injured and stopped in the first half of the season, he became the team's unshakable main force after he recovered from injury.

The Dutch Wing's breakthrough and pass-through organization on the wing is the second core of Real Madrid's Guti's absence. Robben faces Frenchman Abidal this time. The two of them are playing against each other. Sparks are all over the place at the beginning of the wing. However, the final result is Robben's skills are superior. A very confusing fake action made Abidal lose his position and then hit the goal.

The ball flew directly to the upper corner of the goal and hit the goal frame. Fortunately, Valdes stood well and blocked the ball with a kick. However, the crisis had not been resolved. Fanny was very agile to grab the first point and shot directly. He was blocked by Puyol, who was desperate.

The ball fell into the penalty area and was in chaos. Raul, Robben and other players behind began to come over and try to make a supplementary shot and hit the ball.

In the end, Zanbrotta's experience played a role, kicking the ball out of the baseline with one kick. Although he gave a corner kick in the back, it solved the crisis in front of the goal.

"At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid's offensive was very fierce. Gago's position was very front and was almost like the front midfielder. Zambrota's clearance and Real Madrid's corner kick, Gago had already gone over to take the penalty, and Ramos and Pepe in the backcourt had rushed up to compete for the ball!"

After Gago came to the corner flagpole, he placed the ball in a thin position, then came to the sideline and took a look at the position of the Real Madrid player in the penalty area.

Ramos' eyes kept blinking at him, obviously wanting to let Gago send the ball to his head. Beside him, Pepe raised his hand high, just telling everyone to fire at him.

Gago had a black line on his head, and these two guys kicked the ball with his right foot. He did not hang up the ball, but a low flat ball. Ramos at the front point instantly threw away Abidal next to him and rushed up, then dived and shook his head and headed towards the incoming ball.

Gago drove this ball beyond everyone's expectations. After all, the recognized weakness of Barcelona's defense line is height. Their opponents' set-piece tactics are to drive the ball high and then try it with the players' height.

However, this height was only at the low ball on Ramos' chest, and it gave up the height, but it achieved a speed that exceeded the reaction of Barcelona players. Ramos, who had practiced this tactic, took advantage of Pepe to attract attention and slammed his legs forward. In order to avoid the ball hitting his face, he even shrank his head.

I have to say that Ramos has a good heading skill. He instantly changed the direction of the ball at the front point, and he also subconsciously pushed a rebound ball. Valdes unexpectedly, and the ball flew into the goal from his armpit.

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

"In the first minute of the game, Real Madrid scored a goal, Gago took a corner kick, Ramos's top score, the ball hit the lawn and bounced into the goal."

The moment Ramos scored the ball, the entire Bernabeu was in an instant. Real Madrid fans stood up at the moment when no one was in command, making an unconscious roar in their mouths. The huge waves made the entire Bernabeu feel as if they were at the scene of the Rockets launch.

Ramos, who scored the goal, immediately stood up from the lawn, then rushed to Gago not far away, and threw him down. The two rolled into a ball on the corner flagpole. Behind the two, Pepe relied on his strength to press the second time, and then Robinho and Robben...

Schuster raised his arms and shouted at the moment of the goal, with a perfect start, with eighty-nine minutes left in the remaining time, with only one goal left.

"If you can do it, you will definitely be able to surpass it. There is no problem with our attack power!"

The German shouted in his heart as he cheered that the media in the outside world have criticized him recently, and the experts believe that his wrong tactics led to the first round of defeat. He would only send Gago to the court in the game, and then win the game with the command of the Argentine prince on the court. Without Gago, he was a second-rate character.

"So what if I only know how to use Gago, as long as I can win. Isn't the players just used to play? I have Gago's ability to be Real Madrid. If you have the ability, you can also find one in Argentina!"

Shuster thought secretly in his heart, clapping his hands with the assistant coaches around him to celebrate.

On the court, Barcelona players were uneasy. In just one minute, the gap was slimmed half. Judging from this situation, if you can't get a half, the advantage of two goals will be gone, and you may even be tragically behind and will be reversed and overtaken.

Rijkaard, who was originally sitting firmly on the coach's seat, jumped up and rushed to the sidelines, shouting at the players on the field. The Black Swan didn't understand what was going on, why did he lose the ball in the blink of an eye, and his butt was not hot yet!

At this time, the Real Madrid players all celebrated. Although Gago was very painful to be suppressed, he was very happy.

"Only one ball is left, work harder!"

Raul shouted and said to all his teammates, the originally slim hope instantly ignited into a raging fire, and Real Madrid players were burning, and the target was the opponent's goal.

ps: I made a big mistake yesterday. I originally planned to update the fourth day, but who knew that my friend was taken to drink on his birthday in the evening. After I came back, I went off the bed and lay down and apologized! Although there was a class today, I would try my best to update the fourth day. By the way, I beg for recommendation votes!
