Chapter 71 The confrontation in the midfield
"Where are spectators, welcome to watch the 26th round of La Liga again, Barcelona's second half against Real Madrid at home. The first half can be said to be the most exciting half game of the year, with four goals and fast offense and defense. All of this may make many neutral fans excited. Now, the second half has begun, let's see how many more goals can be scored in this game. By the way, let's look forward to the direct confrontation between Messi and Gago!"
After the second half of the game, Gago returned to the midfielder position, which means that he would have more duels with Messi. This made countless neutral fans exclaimed, thinking that Capello was quite cute, and he actually knew what they wanted to see.
Gago returned to his familiar position, without any strange feeling of just playing the left forward. He used force to pass the ball horizontally to Diyala. Then he avoided Deco's press and received the return pass again. Gago began to use passes more than break through, which helped him save his physical fitness.
However, this ball failed to make a shot in the end. Guti was directly put by Xavi after receiving the ball. The referee thought about it but still did not give a yellow card, and gave Real Madrid a free kick. This position is not bad. On the right side outside the penalty area, someone with good footwork can still play the world wave.
This time, Gago stood in front of the ball and shot directly at the human wall. The ball drew a beautiful arc and crossed the human wall. When it fell, it was saved by Valdes.
"Pursuing angle, insufficient speed."
Gago began to look back on his free kick career in his previous life. This thing stopped playing for a while and became unfamiliar. He needed to regain his previous feelings through constant practice.
Next, Barcelona's luxurious midfield foursome teams joined forces to control the ball firmly in their own game, constantly passing the ball back and passing it back, and Gago had no way to break the ball. There were even several times they were fooled by them. After more times, Gago also learned to be smart and no longer chased the ball. It was a black and hard style.
"I am a wise person!"
Gago began to retreat to the front of the penalty area, while Diyala kept sweeping in front of him, and his style controlled Barcelona's passes very well. While he was running without hesitation, although Barcelona's midfielder could control the ball, he could never easily hit the ball into Real Madrid's penalty area like in the first half.
In this case, it is time to test the stars' personal abilities.
Thinking of this, Ronaldo began to break through. Ramos's kick seemed to have no effect on him at all. He pushed the ball into the instep and broke through from the other side of Diyala.
"Royce, the beautiful man scored..."
As soon as the commentator said, he forced himself to hold back. Gago, who had already prevented this, cut the ball off in advance, allowing Ronaldo to come over, but the ball did not return to his feet.
After Gago got the ball, he advanced directly, and passed the midfielder Deco before he came up. On the other side, Xavi also imitated him to stare at him in the back, obviously to prevent him from breaking through.
However, Gago just pushed the ball and sent it to Raul's feet, then stood in the midfield himself, ready to respond.
The one who performed the most in the later part of this game was Raul, who had not shot a shot yet, which made the Lord of Rings, who scored the most goals in the derby in a very embarrassed manner. After receiving the ball, he directly hit the right side and flew out on Toulam.
Higuain wanted to make a follow-up shot but was slower, and Puyol kicked the ball out.
Barcelona's midfielder got the ball again, and in a few passes, the ball was sent to Real Madrid's half, constantly passing across and mobilizing Real Madrid's defense line.
Xavi suddenly made a direct pass, Messi stopped the ball in the frontcourt and turned around, completing two steps in one go. Just as he was about to start, Gago stood in front of him. This was the first direct confrontation between the two, and they were not polite at this time. Messi accelerated the breakthrough directly and wanted to eat raw at speed, but Gago had already predicted the way he was moving forward, blocking in front and waiting for Messi to bump into him.
But at this time, Xiao Tiaosai stopped the ball, then changed direction and changed route. Gago changed position again and blocked, and Messi stopped again and changed direction again. The two met several times in a short time, but they were full of murderous aura.
Before he knew it, Gago had retreated to the penalty area line, and it would be troublesome if he went down. The defense side was always passive. Just as Gago was preparing to foul, the ball under Messi's feet disappeared, and Ronaldo appeared in the penalty area like a ghost and received his pass.
Adjusted and prepared to shoot, but was tripped by Ramos.
The whole audience's eyes were on the referee, watching how he judged. Barcelona fans had already shouted penalties and yellow cards. They did not forget that Real Madrid's No. 4 had already received a yellow card in the first half.
Sent him down, just like Oleg!
This is the psychological thoughts of all Barcelona fans. Poor Oleg was shot while lying down.
However, the result did not make them as they wished. The referee did not give a penalty or a yellow card, but only gave the ball to Barcelona. This caused countless boos to sound over the court.
The two sides began to fight short passes that made countless fans dazzled. The delicate skills unique to the La Liga team made their offensive cooperation feel like flowing.
At this time, Gago suddenly felt like he had last time against Getafe. Under the pressure of Barcelona's luxurious midfield, he finally began to change.
Short pass, catch the ball, divide the edge, schedule, organize, and pass directly!
The entire team was put together with the means that the core of the midfield should have. Countless first-class accessories formed a high-speed operation machine under the combination of engineers. And every force was used just right. Real Madrid players unknowingly used their physical instinct to replace their minds in running positions. As long as they ran to the gap, the ball would appear at his feet. Then they would kick the ball or pass it again.
In the 52nd minute, Gago intercepted the ball in the backcourt to counterattack. Guti made a diagonal pass from Higuain in front of the penalty area. Xiao Yan Gun kicked the ball in the penalty area, and Valdes got the ball.
In the 55th minute, Gago received a pass from the defender and then passed the side. Raul made a cross and Fanny volleyed in the penalty area and shot high.
In the 62nd minute, Real Madrid made a straight pass from the middle, Guti moved to the wing, Higuain made a cross, and the encirclement in front of the goal was not in place, and Tulam cleared the ball.
...
At this moment, Gago finally felt the realm of a top-notch organizational midfielder, and like a computer, he adjusted the density of the entire team and showed every strength without wasting any waste.
So, under the command of the deformed Gago, the Barcelona luxury midfielder, which could have been steadily suppressed, gradually became under pressure. In the end, Deco couldn't help but kick Gago on a defense.
The sharp-eyed referee naturally would not let this move go, and showed a yellow card to warn the honest-looking star.
