Chapter 28 Good News
In the 23rd round of La Liga, Real Madrid was tied by Real Betis, who was defending his full strength at home.
In this game, Real Betis' head coach did not bring his team's main striker Robert. At the Bernabeu, he put his eleven defenders in front of the goal. Real Madrid players bombarded a bus for 90 minutes but failed to score.
Seeing Real Betis' plan to hold a point, Capello thought about the half-time and decisively gave up the game. He replaced Gago during the half-time break, allowing him to rest and avoid injury, and prepare for a tough battle with Bayern Munich in three days. Nowadays, everyone can lack Real Madrid, but Gago cannot be missing. He is the only one who can control the overall situation in the midfield. Guti can only say that he is ordinary in controlling the rhythm. If Gago makes a three-length and two-length shortness, the future game will be basically in danger.
Later, Capello replaced Ramos with Marcelo, who had returned from injury. This was the only guarantee on the defense line, and was the second person that Real Madrid could not lack. By the way, Xiao Ma, who had not played a few games, went up to experience the atmosphere. After all, Carlos is old and still has to rely on the younger generation in the future.
After these two substitutions, Real Madrid began to play tacitly with Betis. For Betis, they are currently in the relegation zone and are already burning a lot of money to get a point from Real Madrid and have no plans to counterattack. As for Real Madrid, there will be a life-and-death battle in the Champions League three days later. If they can beat the Bundesliga class bully at home, they will basically be able to enter the quarterfinals.
For a giant like Real Madrid, it is a shame to stop at the top 16 for three consecutive years. Capello's approach is correct in some ways, but this is the home court of the most demanding fans in the world at the Bernabeu. So when you see Capello's negative and conservative attitude, the booings appeared over the Bernabeu again, but Capello has been booed this season. For a stubborn person like him, it doesn't matter anything to win the championship. The booings of fans are drizzling to him.
As a result, this game was played 0:0 under the tacit understanding of the head coaches of both sides.
At the post-match press conference, all the media asked Capello questions, of course, not about this game. But in the Champions League knockout match against Bayern three days later, Betis's head coach also answered several routine questions with self-awareness and left the game, leaving all the space for Capello.
"Mr. Fabio, are you replacing Gago in the middle of this game for the purpose of keeping your UEFA Champions League three days later?"
This is an Argentina sports newspaper. During the winter transfer, Real Madrid spent a huge amount of money to welcome Argentina's new generation of midfielders Gago and Higuain. This led to a large number of Argentine journalists being sent to Madrid, paying attention to their movements for a long time and being passed back to China.
In fact, Madrid originally had many Argentine journalists, but in the past they were stationed at another club in Madrid, Atletico at the gate. Because last summer, Real Madrid's archenemy spent 23 million euros to buy Argentina's Big Air Wing, the son-in-law of the Polo King, Aguero. This caused a sensation in Argentina. Although he did not have many opportunities to play because of Torres, his talent on the stadium was still recognized by media reporters.
Currently in Argentina, among the younger generation, Messi is the most famous, followed by Aguero and Gago, who are known as the future of the Pampas Eagle.
Capello naturally knew what Argentine reporters wanted to know, so he said whatever he checked was good, which made some Argentine reporters present retreat with satisfaction.
"What do you think about the home fans' booing you constantly."
This is a reporter from the newspaper. The British media just doesn't make people feel at ease. Once Capello closed his eyes, Raul next to him became very skilled in the topic.
"The fans were just dissatisfied with the team's failure to win the game. The booing only expressed their love for the team."
Of course, the reporters present knew that Raul was talking nonsense. He could say that he loved and cheated on Capello even if he wanted to get out of here.
However, when the reporters present were about to ask questions, the press officer at the scene called the reporter of "As". Real Madrid's royal newspaper appeared, so naturally they would not embarrass Capello. Although they were not happy about Capello, now Capello represents Real Madrid's face, so they naturally cannot continue to smear and can only change the topic.
"Do you want to post something for the Champions League knockout stage three days later?"
Capello's face eased a little when he heard what a reporter from Le Cass said, and he began to express his views on the game. He had nothing to say, and he was absolutely victorious.
"Bayern has not played well this season. Before the winter break, they only ranked fourth in the league and did not even have the qualification to be the Champions League next season. Although Heathfield was invited again during the winter break, their situation still did not improve. They were even eliminated by Aachen in the German Cup. Faced with this Bayern who is not in the best state, I am confident that I will win at the Bernabeu and dedicated it to the fans."
After Capello finished speaking, several children at the scene immediately began to applaud, expressing that this ambition was in line with Real Madrid's tradition.
This press conference ended in a good atmosphere with you, I, everyone. Of course, the news on the next day, except for some pro-Real Madrid media, the rest of the newspapers were all full of bad news.
"Real Madrid is tied 0:0 by the relegation team, and the future is worrying against Bayern"
"Bernabeu booed again"
"If Capello loses the Champions League, he will be fired by Real Madrid's senior management as a scapegoat"
"The conflict between Gago and Capello reappears, and he is replaced in half"
...
Well, when Gago saw the last title, he was stunned. If anyone watching the game on the spot could basically see that Capellona was for the Champions League, the reporter could have made some "Contradictory Theory".
Just look at the name of the newspaper... "Cass".
Damn it, isn’t it really the tabloid where Mafi, the wife’s reserve, was in the past?
Gago was speechless about this newspaper, which even had a pirated atmosphere of name. After telling Mafia about this, she was also helpless. These tabloids could only use this kind of report opposite to conventional media to attract audiences. Who knows the sorrow of these local tabloids?
Since he was the newspaper of his prospective wife before, Gago didn't plan to settle the accounts.
In recent weeks of double games, Gago also felt physical fatigue. This made him think that he must exercise his body well when he has time. Capello kindly gave the team half a day off. Although it was only half a day, it was also very rare. You should know that it would be a big battle with Bayern in three days. Capello and the coaching team discussed it for a long time before they squeezed out.
On this day, Gago asked Mafi out and the two of them watched the two highlights of the game that they started in the day after they rented.
Valencia faced Barcelona at home. With two goals from Angulo and Villa in the first half, Valencia forced Barcelona to a desperate situation. At the critical moment, Ronaldinho showed his superstar style and directly recovered a point with a free kick. But there was not much time at that time, and Valencia finally defeated the arrogant Barcelona at home.
Another game was that Sevilla faced Atletico Madrid at home. After watching this game, Gago had to admit that Sevilla was their enemy this season. They took the initiative in the whole game. If they weren't lucky, they wouldn't have just scored 3:1.
After this round of league, Sevilla once again topped the list and Barcelona fell to second place.
Atletico Madrid finally scored a goal to regain his face in injury time. Now Torres is not the Tito of Chelsea in later generations. He has no shortcomings in all, and he is at the peak. He uses a ball that is not an opportunity and uses his personal ability to beat the goalkeeper to successfully defeat the two defenders.
"It seems that the next derby is not easy."
After watching the game, Gago thought silently.
The next day, after Gago sent away Mafi, who was left in his room that night, back to the team and started training again. He was rarely out of shape when he was on the court. Last night was supposed to be a holiday, but he used it with Mafi!
Now his waist is still a little sore, and Gago has the idea of exercising his body again. He must practice boxing when he has time in summer. You should know that he has never had a headache for physical strength in his previous life.
For the Champions League the day after tomorrow, Capello tried a new lineup. As the midfield organizer, he shouldered a lot of tasks in the new lineup. This made him even more tired.
"After the season is over, I must train my body."
Just as Gago was thinking this way, the announcement of good news made the entire Real Madrid team excited. After the doctor's exact observation, Carlos has fully recovered and can play against Bayern.
The title of "the world's number one left-back" is not a joke. When Real Madrid announced the news on their official website with Capello's consent, the fans at the entrance of the training ground instantly doubled. A large number of banners blessing Carlos were held at the door, welcoming his comeback.
In the media's words, most of the people who were not optimistic about Real Madrid changed their tone in an instant, believing that Carlos's comeback could allow Real Madrid to enter the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
The team was also very happy about the news, only Xiao Ma was frowning again. Carlos was finally injured last month, but he was injured soon after. Finally, he recovered from injury in front of Carlos and played a substitute for only one game, so Carlos recovered.
"God, you are too unfair to me."
Seeing Gago and Higuain coming to Real Madrid with him, they both took the team's position and were gradually recognized by fans. In particular, Gago, who is already the core of the main midfielder, Higuain has also started several consecutive games. Although he was on the bench again because of Raul's comeback, people are still optimistic about having a broad future.
Looking at Xiao Ma's lament, Gago and Xiao Yangu thought he was taking it upon themselves. If he hadn't "wished" to God and injured Carlos, Real Madrid's current results wouldn't have been so miserable.
For the contempt of the two of them being unfaithful, Xiao Ma could only raise his middle finger.
ps: Headache, it rained, the temperature suddenly dropped, the cold was getting, and the update became unstable.
