Chapter 146
Next, Argentina's midfield began to change, and Gago began to withdraw his position, playing his own line, an organizational midfielder.And Riquelme and Aimar are always ready to receive the pass from the left to the right in front of him. The technical styles of the three are similar, but after all, it is the first time to play such a cooperation, and there will still be mistakes between receiving and passing.

However, the American team failed to take advantage of these opportunities. They were afraid of being beaten, and did not dare to invest too much force on the offensive end.Johnson alone faced Gago and Mascherano's defensive midfielders alone. The configuration of these two defensive midfielders is top-notch in the world.

As time went on, the cooperation between the three in the midfield finally got better, and at this time Gago said to Mascherano, and then plugged in.The essence of Barcelona is 4-3-3, and it would be much better if Cambiasso was still there.He can serve as the "4" position and control the organization of the backcourt.And Gago's all-rounder can push himself up the front line, connecting the forward line and the midfielder in series.

If this is the case, fortunately, the American team has no will to attack, and basically retreats across the board, but they can put the organization in the opponent's half. Gago said that he used himself as two people.His long hair can be seen in the entire midfield, and under his continuous connection, Argentina finally scored another goal in the 10st minute of the second half.

This was a pleasing cooperation between the midfield and the frontcourt. Riquelme and Gago kept passing the ball on the right to tear apart the opponent's defense, and then distributed the ball into the penalty area.Not far away, Messi skillfully exploded his speed and threw off the defensive player who was close to him to receive the ball, and then sent the ball to the middle of the small penalty area with the defense of three people and the goalkeeper.

Crespo scored again with a burst shot without anyone blocking it. This series of passes and cuts completely penetrated the right side of the US team.In the end, Messi distributed the ball to the middle without looking back. It was a stroke of genius. The four-legged pass did not stop during the whole process. When Crespo scored a goal, goalkeeper Keller didn't even have time to wave.

"The goal was scored, Crespo scored twice, he went beyond the score again, the US team has lost completely, they will not have a chance to win again."

"Although it was Crespo who scored the goal in the end, Riquelme, Gago and Messi's pass before this goal completely cut through the defense of the US team. The ball went in. Argentina's strongest midfield configuration finally showed its strength."

After scoring the goal, Messi suddenly stood there. He felt very strange the feeling just now.In the past, I was always awkward playing football in the national team, and the chances of shooting were basically obtained by my own ability.But in the moment just now, when the ball came in, he moved to that position according to his childhood training.Pass the ball again to the next gap from an angle without a shot, and sure enough someone came over to complete the shot.

"It feels so good."

Messi gave a thumbs up to Riquelme and Gago to express his gratitude, but at this time, Crespo had come to him to celebrate.Although he was a little embarrassed by this junior's slap in the face just now, but this assist made him very happy.He originally just ran to the neutral position according to his instinct to play the ball, but he didn't expect that Messi would actually pass the ball.

"Luckily, Hernan's last run was just in time."

Gago didn't go over to celebrate. He and Riquelme discussed the goal just now. Generally speaking, the cooperation between the two of them was not bad, at least it activated Messi's power seven or eighty-eight.Messi's final pass just now also showed that he was not dazzled by the goal and still focused on the overall situation.

"Next, I will be closer to the goal, pass the ball carefully, and don't be cut off by the opponent."

After Gago discussed with Riquelme, the US team was ready to kick off again in the middle circle.

This time, the US team still didn't have the courage to fight for the offensive opportunity. They also passed a series of passes in the middle, but they were blocked by Gago when they were about to enter the penalty area.Then they quickly retreated across the board. It seemed that they were satisfied with the loss this time, but they didn't want to lose more.

"I don't even have the courage to resist. Sometimes, such opponents are very annoying."

Gago dribbled the ball directly across the midfield, and Wen came over to hinder his progress. The black big man was pretty good, at least he didn't use many tricks to defend Gago.

But Gago would not hold back his hand because of this, he rubbed his left foot, handed the ball to Aimar, and then used his shortcoming of turning slowly to pass him, and Aimar's return pass was just right to his feet.At this time, it was already close to the top of the arc of the restricted area. In this position, Gago had many good shots from long-range shots.The world wave against AC Milan at the San Siro is proof.

So, Olsen immediately directed the players to go up and block, preventing him from easily kicking.But at this moment, Gago passed the ball back to Riquelme.The pair quickly switched positions, with the ball returning to his feet in the process.On the right Lu Gago quickly bottomed and kicked a cross.

Messi rushed out under the double-team of the three and shot directly from a small angle.It's a pity that it hit the side net under the interference of the defender, making fans who didn't know it think the goal was scored.

The goal was missed, but Messi began to confirm his thoughts. Although he didn't know what was going on, the midfielder began to cooperate with him. As long as he ran to the neutral position, the ball would reach his feet.

Gago, who turned his head to pass the ball to himself, made an apologetic gesture. This opportunity was good, but it failed to convert into a goal.

"Give me peace of mind and wait in front, remember to run more."

Gago said something lightly to Messi and retreated.

In the following game, the Pampas fans present screamed one after another. Under the passing and cutting of the three purely technical midfielders, Gago, Riquelme and Aimar, the defense of the US team was completely destroyed. torn apart.After a period of cooperation, the three have been able to play a pleasing cooperation.

With the support of the three of them, Messi finally stopped being "sick". His erratic movement in the penalty area caused the US team a headache.Coupled with Crespo who has already scored twice, although the US team has the advantage in numbers, they still feel that they are not enough.

The fourth goal came soon after, Zanetti and Heinze also plugged in early, with the help of these two full-backs, the US team finally couldn't resist the collapse.After a series of pulling passes drew the American team's defensive force to the center, Riquelme instigated the attack, diverted the ball to the left, and Heinze put in a cross in time.

Messi at the front point made a gesture to outflank the defense, and then deliberately missed it. Aimar in the middle suddenly inserted a header and scored.The top of this ball is full of power, there is no angle, and it directly flies into the goal at the fastest speed.The tragic US goalkeeper Keller only had time to wave his hand and pick up the ball in the goal for the fourth time.

At this time, the US team has no retreat, and the score of 4:1 is already a shame.Although there is still a gap of two goals from the six goals that Argentina said, no one will laugh at them after the game.The gap of three goals can already be said to be a big victory.

If they don't want to be scolded bloody by the fans after the game, they can only attack, at least score another goal to save face.But this kind of thinking caused them to be hit hard again. In the last 10 minutes, the US team, which was on the offensive across the board, had nothing behind them.

Zanetti intercepted the ball with a sliding tackle on the side, and then dribbled the ball himself on the side.It doesn't look like a veteran in his 30s, who sent the ball to the middle in time before the opponent's half was pressed.After receiving the ball, Riquelme glanced at the opponent's penalty area, and then passed the ball diagonally to the right.

Gago was on the penalty area line with his back to the goal, unable to turn around under the defense of Olsen behind him.

But genius cannot be measured by common sense. With his back to the goal, Gago kicked Riquelme's pass with his heel and sent it into the penalty area from Olsen's crotch.

Messi inserted into the penalty area from the right rib in time, received Gago's ball, then dodged a defender with a dunk, and faced Keller with a push shot from the near corner to score.

5: 1.
In the last 10 minutes, Messi finally scored a goal, and it was Gago who assisted him. For Barcelona fans, the mood is very complicated.However, in the blink of an eye, they began to celebrate Messi's goal. In any case, it was Messi who scored the goal, their golden boy.

And Messi, who scored the goal, was also very happy. He wanted to run under the camera without emotion, but Gago, who had been prepared for a long time, rushed up from behind and pressed him under him.Then, a shadow flashed by, he felt a weight on his back, and Messi under him trembled even more.

After the celebration was over, Gago was pulled up by Riquelme in a bit of suffocation. He felt that he was worthless in his heart. He even paid for himself in order to overwhelm Messi.However, Gago felt much better after seeing Messi's miserable situation on the lawn. After all, he was not the one who suffered the most.

Xiao Tiaoshow coughed and climbed up from the lawn, and made a contemptuous gesture to Gago.

"You don't need to thank me, just give me an assist next time."

Gago would have misunderstood it, thinking that Messi wanted to thank him, but this sentence almost made Messi faint.

At this time, Basile made another substitution adjustment, and Veron and Tevez replaced Gago and Messi.

"There is one more ball, I'll give it to you."

Facing Carlos Tevez and Veron, Gago smiled and hugged him, and then said.

"Damn, it's not even 10 minutes, and you still let me score."

When Tevez let go of Gago, he said unwillingly.

"I'll support you mentally down there."

Patting Tevez on the shoulder, Gago and Messi entered and walked off the court under the cheers of the fans.Gago also specially went to his family not far away to say hello, which caused constant commotion among the fans.

And just when he turned his head and waved to Knight, the cheers from the stands got louder. Originally, he thought it was his own charm.But seeing the fans looking at the field, they turned their heads and saw Carlos Tevez running all over the field excitedly, and the score board showed 6:1.
"Damn, this guy really scored a goal."

Ps: After watching the two focus games of the Premier League, I am sorry for the late update.
