Chapter 136
"Hey, boss, it's me, Phil!"

After getting off the plane and escaping the siege of a lot of fans, Gago called Capello after arriving at the hotel reserved by the national team.

"Oh, it's rare that you have such a heart."

Even over the phone, Gago could hear the resentment in Capello's tone. Having encountered such a shameful incident twice in a row, he was the only one in the entire football world.

After Gago finished speaking, there was a sudden silence between the two. Originally, Capello was a man of few words.He doesn't have much communication with the players, and all the training is done through the assistant coach.Now that the two are talking at once, there is really nothing to talk about.

"Boss, what do you think of this America's Cup?"

In the end, Gago had no choice but to bring the topic to football. Regarding the Copa America, although the outside world is generally optimistic that Argentina will win the championship, the law of hotness and death has come true not once or twice.Jia Ge still felt a little sad in his heart, for his first national team competition, he still hoped to have a good result.

"Looking at your personnel this time, I know what kind of football Basile is going to play. It's a pity, if you can give up the so-called tradition and be more pragmatic, the championship this time will definitely be yours."

Capello just said one sentence, and pointed out the problem of this Argentine national team.

Defense!

The strength of this Argentine team lies in the dual core of Riquelme and Gago, and the striker led by Crespo, but defense has never been their strong point.Since its 0-3 loss to Brazil at the beginning of its formation, the defensive system built by New Argentina has not been functioning normally.

Two months ago, Argentina was warming up in Europe. First they tied Switzerland 2-1, and then tied Algeria 1-4. The 4 goals conceded in the two games have attracted the attention of fans.However, Basile could still comfort himself and the players with "all 5 goals conceded were set kicks, and Argentina will pay attention to this in real games".But this root cause has alerted Argentine media reporters.

Before the start of the America's Cup, Argentine media reporters held a discussion meeting. Most people believed that Argentina's problem lay in defense.There are not many ways to really solve this problem. One is to increase the number of defenders and increase the thickness of the defense. The other is to hope to score more goals in exchange for victory in the score.

But these are just talks on paper. The real solution to this problem depends on the execution of the players on the field.The tradition of Argentine football is offense, and all previous coaches are idealistic.

Argentina is still immersed in the era of Maradona. Basile's ideal is offensive football, and his team will never allow a "turtle victory".From the beginning of training, he emphasized the use of a strong midfielder to suppress the opponent's offense, and defeated all opponents with extremely gorgeous offense.

Such an idea is naturally scoffed at by Capello, a victorious man. In the entire world of football, the dreamism of "winning magnificently" has long given way to the realism of "winning ugly".

Capello told Gago that if Argentina is willing to put down their face, the probability of winning is as high as 90.00%.But if you stick to offensive football, there is only half the probability.

"Thank you, but with my influence, it is impossible to change this atmosphere."

It's not that Gago is ignorant of Argentina's problems, but he can only adapt with a wry smile.The highest state of Basile's idealism is the ball control tactics of the later Barcelona, ​​which uses purely technical and gorgeous midfielders to control the ball at their feet and reduce the opponent's offensive opportunities.

"Then I wish you good luck, Phil, as long as you maintain your current growth, you will become a superstar in the future."

Capello said one last sentence, and then hung up the phone without giving Gago a chance to say goodbye.

"A superstar?"

Gago took the phone from his ear and whispered softly.

"Fair, why are you still here? The coach is going to take us to familiarize ourselves with the court."

Messi, who was in the same room as Gago, came in at this time and pulled him down who was still in a daze.

The America's Cup schedule is relatively dense, with an average of three games, and only in the finals will the team have five days of rest.A total of 20 days of competition will determine the king of the Americas.Of course, many people think that this name must fall back to Argentina or Brazil.Uruguay, which has won the most Copa America titles, is now out of reach, and its momentum is not as good as that of Brazil, which is known as the second team.

Venezuela used to be a Spanish colony, so the official language is Spanish, and there is no pressure in Argentina to communicate with the locals.The country relies on oil exports for its wealth, and it borders the Caribbean Sea with beautiful scenery.It is worth mentioning that this is a socialist country.

Football is less popular in Venezuela than in other South American countries, and it is the weakest country in CONMEBOL. It has never made it to the World Cup finals, but has made rapid progress recently, and its star player Juan Arango is currently Playing for the Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Venezuela is a small South American country with a population of only 2600 million, but it is a country full of beauties. Venezuelan beauties have won more than 60 international beauty pageants, including Miss World 5 times, Miss International 5 times and Miss Universe 6 times.

In Venezuela, beauty pageants have become a national sport and a pop culture.There is one sentence that illustrates how important beauty pageants are in this country.

"Among Venezuelan women, there's this saying: It's better to be dead than ugly."

It can be seen that Venezuelans yearn for beauty.Venezuelan girls all grow up with the dream of "becoming Miss Venezuela", while in other countries there is no such enthusiasm.

There are countless beauty pageants in Venezuela, and there are various carnival beauty pageants and local beauty pageants.The streets are always full of beauty fans waving various signs and shouting slogans.The annual beauty pageant has become one of Venezuela's biggest celebrations, watched by half the country's population on television.

Through all kinds of devil training and plastic surgery, Venezuela has become the world's most famous "beauty factory".

But this time the Argentine stars didn't have time to visit this "land of beauties", because their time was very tight this time.The day after tomorrow is the start of the America's Cup, and Argentina will face the US team.Although Uncle Sam's status in football cannot be compared with their status in the world, he is also a powerful player who can enter the World Cup.

Not to be underestimated.

Argentina is the latest among the twelve participating countries. They must hurry up and familiarize themselves with the stadium where they will play next within two days.

Basile took the players to familiarize themselves with the field after they got off the plane for two hours.In Venezuela, although football is not the most popular sport, it still has a considerable number of fans.There are also countless domestic fans who have followed the Blue and White Legion. Every time Gago and the others go on tour, there will be a large number of fans guarding them all the way.

In the Maracaibo Stadium in the final, when the Argentine stars began to familiarize themselves with the venue, countless fans screamed excitedly in the stands.

Half of the stars of this America's Cup are in the Argentine national team, so the move of the Nerazzurri attracted more than half of the media attention.

There are even countless celebrities and models dressed up on the sidelines, forming the most beautiful scenery.

Gago also felt the enthusiasm of many fans during the training. Several irrational female fans even jumped down from the stands, wanting to come and hug him.After helping Real Madrid win the championship, Gago's reputation in football is no less than that of ordinary stars.

Fortunately, the security guards on the stadium were still very dedicated. They invited the fans who jumped out in time to prevent Argentina's preparations from being affected.

But it is impossible to say that there is no influence. After all, it is not a formal game. When the players are familiar with the field, they will inevitably be distracted and look at the scenery composed of star models in the stands.

"Fair, which one do you think looks the best?"

During the warm-up, Tevez came to Gago's side with a wretched face, and at the same time sneakily glanced at a hot beauty in the stands.

"That blond one has a really good figure and a pretty face, he's the third one from the left!"

Gago didn't pretend to be serious either, he looked at it openly and aboveboard, and then pointed to the beauty he mentioned for Tevez to see.Such a domineering move made the sullen "beast" show an expression of admiration.

"You have a good eye. That girl is really beautiful, but I don't know her name. Venezuela is indeed a country of beauties!"

The actions of the two attracted the attention of Maradona who came with the team, came to their side, and joined the discussion between the two with an upright face.

"The blond girl you are talking about, you don't know about it. She played football abroad and her brain was broken. This is the queen of beautiful buttocks in the whole Pampas recently - Lucilla, but she recently How did you switch to football baby?"

Lao Ma was a little puzzled, but regarding this person's profound knowledge, Gago and Tevez immediately obediently acted like juniors and asked for advice.

"Ask me for advice, you are really asking the right person, this Lucilla's charm is very comparable."

When Lao Ma said this, he pretended to be upright and popularized knowledge to his two juniors.

"He just debuted recently, but the momentum made all the models feel inferior. He basically monopolized all kinds of sexy talent shows in Argentina, the so-called talent show for the most beautiful buttocks, the best girl in bikinis, and the sexiest body... as long as It is a program that can be watched by men, and there is a desire to shoot on the football field, and there are nine out of ten that she will appear, and there is also a nine out of ten chance that she will be the final champion."

When the old horse said this, he couldn't help clicking his tongue, and could no longer maintain a righteous expression.

"I don't say it in the whole world, but at least in Argentina, as long as she puts her buttocks on the stage, there will be no one in the audience, and she can do whatever she wants. As for the other women, they just shrink their breasts obediently." Buttocks, avoid humiliating yourself. Although this remark is a bit exaggerated, it also shows that Lucilla is super popular in China with her incomparable figure."
