Chapter 200 Sure enough, he is not a superman like Chen Yingxiong

While there were more and more topics of discussion about Argentina's final reversed game, Gago and Messi, the two most talked about people, got on the plane that flew to Spain that night.

As international players, the dilemma of loyalty and filial piety is their lifelong problem. Gago returned to Madrid for training non-stop after playing four qualifiers in more than half a month.Originally, he didn't feel it when he was playing the game, but as soon as he returned to Real Madrid, Gago felt all kinds of exhaustion in his body.

There is still a reason for the existence of such a thing as the FIFA virus.In the team's training match, Gago felt powerless for the first time.One must know that even if his physical fitness is not as good as that of Ramos, he is still one of the strongest in the team, but just ordinary training makes him feel sore all over, one can imagine how tired Gago is.

"Sure enough, I'm not a superman like Chen Yingxiong!"

Seeing Gago's state in the training match, Schuster was the one who had the most headaches, and the opponent in the next league game would be difficult to deal with.The Spaniard is the team second only to Barcelona in the Catalonia region, and due to the tense relationship between Castilla and Catalonia, this is destined to be a tough battle.

After playing this league game, Real Madrid will usher in the third Champions League group match at home three days later.Olympiacos, who are currently second only to them in Group C, will be a tougher game than the Spaniard.It is impossible for Schuster to give up this game. In addition to this being a home game, there is another reason that as long as Real Madrid wins this game, they will basically be able to ensure that they qualify for the group and have more energy to deal with the opponents in the league. opponent.

You must know that after playing Olympiacos at home, Real Madrid's next three opponents in the league will be more ruthless than the other. They are the three teams in La Liga second only to the deadly enemy Barcelona.

Deportivo, Valencia, Seville!
"Super Deportivo" has declined. For Real Madrid, this is a relatively easy opponent to deal with, but Valencia and Sevilla are ruthless characters who can eat a large piece of meat from Real Madrid without paying attention.Valencia has been the sufferer of Real Madrid since the Cooper era. As one of the few La Liga players who traditionally defend and counterattack, Valencia has the most experience in dealing with the top-heavy Real Madrid.

In recent seasons, Sevilla has reached the peak since the club was founded, winning two consecutive UEFA Cups and winning the double last season.In recent years, Sevilla's performance can be said to be able to explode Real Madrid.

After playing these three opponents, Real Madrid will go away to challenge Olympiakos.

In other words, in the next two weeks, Real Madrid will play five games, and Real Madrid will encounter a situation that is even more tragic than a double match in a week.But there is no way around this, because the national team's match day league has been suspended for three weeks, and now they have to make up for it in a short period of time. Sooner or later, it will end in the same way.

Before the end of the winter break, Real Madrid has always been such a situation of double matches a week. Gago, who saw this schedule, almost fainted.

"The only breathing space I can look forward to now is the winter break. La Liga is great. There is a winter break. I really don't know how those beasts in the Premier League survived."

Gago secretly rejoiced that he was in La Liga, while countless players in the Premier League were crying bitterly.

Although Schuster gave Gago a two-day vacation after returning from the national team, the sequelae left by the intensive competition were not so easy to clear up, and Gago's state could only be said to have recovered half.

The downturn of the team commander caused Real Madrid to suffer their first defeat this season.They were defeated by the Spaniard 2:1 in the away game. Since Real Madrid's players are basically an integral part of the national team, they basically played all the games.

In this game, Real Madrid's performance was sluggish. In the first half, the Spaniard scored two goals using set kicks and counterattacks.In the second half, Real Madrid's state recovered and began to bombard the Spaniard who retreated to defend, but there was no consequence.

Seeing this scene, Schuster gave up the game decisively. He replaced three players, Gago, Van Nistelrooy and Guti, to save energy for the next Champions League match.

It has to be said that Schuster can still be courageous in making decisions, retaining a few core physical fitness to make way for important games.After all, they still have a big advantage in the league now, it's just a loss, it's no big deal.

However, in the No.90 minute, after the three of Gago went off the field, Real Madrid moved back a goal, a corner kick, Sneijder drove to the far point, and Ramos pushed the ball in with his strong body .However, this goal could not save Real Madrid, and the Blancos finally lost a game.

After this game, the media almost cried because they finally lost. If you don’t lose, our newspapers will not be sold.

It has always been the news of Real Madrid winning, which makes the fans tired of watching. Although the media likes to distort the facts, they are not bold enough to call a winning game a failure.After Real Madrid was tied with the newly promoted Valladolid last time, their newspaper sales rose a small level. Since then, they have been looking forward to the stars and the moon and begging Real Madrid to lose.

The pious prayers of the majority of media reporters were finally known by the old man God, who arranged the national team match day and let the rich players play the qualifiers where the club's head coach gritted his teeth.The players who came back were all exhausted and even slightly injured. Those who were unlucky had to be absent for ten days and a half months.

Sure enough, the next day, the sales of newspapers that recorded the news of Real Madrid's loss rose by a big margin.

Some experts jumped out. They said that Real Madrid's sluggish state would last at least half a month. Who would let the Blancos be the main members of the national team even if they were substitutes.In a World Cup qualifier, all the head coaches of the wealthy clubs jumped to their feet and scolded their mothers.

However, what reassures Real Madrid fans is that Barcelona also lost. At this time, the giants all over the world are collectively unlucky.

Barcelona were beaten 3-1 by Manuel Pellegrini's well-worn Villarreal at the El Estadio, and Puyol scored a face-saving goal for Barcelona at the last minute.

The difference between the two teams is still two points, ranking first and second in the standings!

The players of Real Madrid did not pay attention to the outside discussion about this defeat. Under the request of Schuster, they devoted themselves to training, preparing to adjust their sluggish state and welcome the arrival of Olympiacos .

Originally, Group C was generally regarded as Real Madrid's back garden, because there were basically no strong opponents.In addition to the media's belief that Real Madrid has secured a qualifying spot, the other spot is either Lazio or Werder Bremen, but who would have thought that the No.2 in the Champions League is Olympiacos, who is considered to be a belly.

Real Madrid is not at their best in this game, but Olympiacos is waiting for work, maybe they can overthrow Los Blancos in the away game.

There is no way, Real Madrid is too strong this season, and people who are not Real Madrid fans hope that a hero will come out to stop him.

Real Madrid's defeat to the Spaniard in the last game made everyone see hope. They pinned their hopes on Olympiacos, which is not inferior in strength, and let them test whether the Blancos are really in a weak period.If Real Madrid fails again in this game, then their next three opponents will show their merits by defeating the Blancos mercilessly.

In a way, Real Madrid cannot lose this game, and Schuster understands this truth very well.

"We must win this game. There are [-] fans outside. They are not here to see us fail. We can still use accidents as an excuse for losing the last game, but if this We still lost, it was no accident. We are Real Madrid, the best club of the twentieth century, and countless enemies expect us to fall. However, we will fight back with a big victory and tell the enemy that we are the giants ! Here it is, the Bernabéu!"

It is rare for Schuster to use psychological means to stimulate the state of the players, but this method will work well for the first time. In this game, the players of Real Madrid have shown their state.After all, for a player who is used to winning, suddenly giving him a defeat will make them very angry and feel humiliated.

And the current Real Madrid players have such a mentality. They were irritated by the defeat in the last game. After recovering, they needed someone to vent, so at this time Olympiacos hit them.

In this game, Schuster once again dispatched the strongest lineup in his hands. The attacking combination of Raul and Ruud van Nistelrooy, who scored a total of 113 goals in the Champions League, was dispatched on the front line.The midfield is organized by Gago and Guti, with Robinho and Sneijder flying on both wings.Robben, with a fragile system, was injured again and had to hang up his exemption card.

This combination of midfield and frontcourt completely overwhelmed Olympiacos' defense. In the opening 2 minutes, Guti used a precise through ball to help Raul open the scoring.

But 5 minutes later, Olympiacos took advantage of a counterattack to equalize the score. Without Diarra's interception in the midfield, Gago was a little bit alone.After the opponent passed Gago with the advantage of numbers, they passed the ball into the penalty area. Galetti stepped in from the center to respond with a strong shot with his left foot. Several Real Madrid players stepped forward to encircle and attack the ball but failed to tackle the ball. The ball hit the lower left corner of the net heavily. .

But this goal made the Real Madrid players even more angry. Gago, who was very upset, dribbled the ball from the backcourt to avoid the blockade of the two midfielders, and then kicked 30 meters away from the goal. The goal, this powerful volley did not have any angle, relying on strength and speed, it smashed into the upper right corner of the goal before the opponent's goalkeeper.

That was not all, before the end of the first half, Robinho used his dazzling technique to enter the penalty area and hit the top corner of the goal to score Real Madrid's third goal.

After the start of the second half, Real Madrid's anger had not been vented completely, and they vented against Olympiacos again.Robinho scored twice and Ruud van Nistelrooy scored again from Gago's diagonal pass in the penalty area.Finally, in the 3rd minute of stoppage time, Soldado, who came off the bench, used a goal from a set kick to head into the goal.

In the end, Real Madrid slaughtered Olympiacos, who was second in the group, 5:1 at home, declaring their unshakable dominance!
