Chapter 250 Perfect Start (Part [-])
In the past, players from Real Madrid and Barcelona would chat a few words before the start of the game, but at this juncture, everyone is very knowledgeable and stands on their side, trying not to look at the opponent.

Messi sneaked a glance at Gago who was beside him, seeing the expression on his face, his heart trembled, and he felt that this game was not easy to play.Fortunately, the expressions on the faces of the Barcelona players immediately became solemn after entering the stadium. They are the giants who know the strength of Real Madrid best.After Real Madrid got Gago in the past two years, Barcelona never took advantage of Real Madrid.

Had it not been for Gago's absence in the last game, the outcome of the game would have been hard to say.Unknowingly, the Barcelona players already had a sense of powerlessness for Gago.This young man is versatile in everything and basically has no shortcomings, and Barcelona lacks players with top defensive capabilities, so they can't hold him down every game.

At 4:29 local time on April 20th in Spain, the second round of the UEFA Champions League semi-final, Real Madrid played against Barcelona at home.

"Friends in the audience, you are welcome to watch this battle of focus. The grievances between Real Madrid and Barcelona have continued into the Champions League. In the league, Real Madrid can defend their title as long as they score one more point. In the Champions League, Los Blancos The situation is not so good. Barcelona, ​​which is hopeless in the league, pins all its hopes on the Champions League. In the first round of the Camp Nou battle, due to the absence of Gago, Real Madrid lost to their opponents by two goals. The home game of the round became a life-and-death game where you had to attack."

After the commentators of the major TV stations explained the meaning of the game in detail to their audiences, the players of the two teams came to the court under the leadership of their respective captains.There was also a burst of cheers at the scene, today's Bernabeu was extremely noisy.

The entire stadium was basically covered in white, and Barcelona's [-] away fans were squeezed into a corner and struggled to show their presence.

The referee of this game is France's Bray, who came up to signal the captains of the two teams to guess the ball.

"Captain, I think we need the ball right now!"

When Raul went up, Gago came to him and said something softly, and the latter nodded his head to express his understanding.

Everyone understands the current situation of Real Madrid. The gap between the two goals can only be achieved by aggressive attacks in order to hope to advance.However, Schuster's thinking is still very clear, and he did not disrupt the team's main lineup for the sake of offense.This time Real Madrid's 11 players are the most stable main lineup this season.

Goalkeeper Iker Casillas, defense is Heinze, Cannavaro, Pepe, Ramos; midfielder is Diarra, Gago, Robben, Robinho; forwards are Raul and Van Ni.

With this lineup, Real Madrid defeated all opponents who dared to stand in front of him this season. Schuster believes that as long as the team fully utilizes its offensive ability, scoring two goals in Barcelona will not be a problem.

As for Barcelona, ​​Rijkaard did not change the lineup of the previous game, and made up his mind to kill Real Madrid with ball control.It seems that the result of the last game gave him a taste of the sweetness. With Harvey's maturity, Deco has already sat on the bench.Under the leadership of a group of players from La Masia, Barcelona has gradually embarked on a mature road.The gap between the current "Dream [-]" and "Dream [-]" is only Guardiola.

Raul was lucky to lose and Real Madrid got the kick-off.

As Bray blew the whistle to start the game, the players of the two teams, who were originally slow, instantly entered the state.Raul gave the ball to Gago with one foot, and then ran forward by himself.

Gago unloaded the ball with the back of his foot, faced Gudjohnsen's pressing, and wiped him with a concise turn.

Barcelona used their traditional 4-3-3 formation in this game. In the midfield, Harvey, Yaya Toure, and Gudjohnsen can be said to have worn Guti to death in the last game.The trident in the frontcourt is a combination of Messi, Eto'o and Henry.In order to solve the coexistence problem of Henry and Eto'o, Rijkaard withdrew the more versatile Henry as the second striker.After playing with Bergkamp for so long, Henry is also able to adapt to this position.

When Gago dribbled the ball and was about to drive straight in, Barcelona's defense instantly tightened towards him.In Rijkaard's eyes, the Argentine prince is the biggest enemy of Real Madrid, and he will not lose his mind when he is provoked like Guti.All he can do is tear open the opponent's defense with a pass, and then help his teammates score.

Yaya Toure, who was an engineer's midfielder, was the first to meet him, while Gudjohnsen, who was thrown off behind him, turned around and chased immediately.If Gago insisted on breaking forward, he would be pinched back and forth the moment he met Yaya Toure.

"You seem to underestimate the players of Real Madrid!"

Seeing Barcelona tighten the entire defense line towards him, Gago said something in his heart, and then distributed the ball at the moment of being double-teamed.Although Robben on the right was injured for the first half of the season, he became the unshakable main force of the team after he returned from injury.

The Dutch Flying Man's breakthrough and distribution organization on the wing is the second core of Real Madrid Guti's absence.Robben faced the Frenchman Abidal this time, and the two were equal opponents, sparks were flying from the beginning of their fight on the wing.However, in the final result, Robben was superior. A very confusing fake action made Abidal lose his position and kicked the goal.

The ball flew directly to the upper corner of the goal and hit the goal frame. Fortunately, Valdez was in a good position and blocked the ball with a kick.But the crisis has not been resolved, Ruud van Nistelrooy was very quick to grab the first point, direct barb shot.He was blocked by the desperate Puyol.

The ball fell into the penalty area, and there was a sudden chaos. Raul, Robben and other players behind started to come over and try to hit the ball in.

In the end, it was Zambrotta's experience that played a role. He kicked the ball out of the baseline. Although he gave a corner kick to the back, it lifted the crisis in front of the goal.

"At the beginning, Real Madrid's offensive was very fierce. Gago's position was very close to the front midfielder. Zambrotta's clearance, Real Madrid's corner kick, Gago had already gone to take the penalty, and Ramo in the backcourt The two defenders, Si and Pepe, have rushed up, ready to fight for the ball!"

After Gago came to the corner flagpole, he placed the ball carefully, then came to the sideline, and glanced at the positions of the Real Madrid players in the penalty area.

Ramos' eyes kept blinking at him, obviously trying to get Gago to send the ball over his head.Beside him, Pepe directly raised his hand high, telling everyone to fire at him.

Gago's head was full of black lines, these two guys, and then kicked off with his right foot. This ball he didn't hang up, but a low ball.Ramos, who was at the front point, threw away Abidal who was beside him in an instant and rushed up, then swooped down, retracted his head, and shook his head at the incoming ball to attack the goal.

Gago opened the ball beyond everyone's expectations. After all, the recognized weakness of Barcelona's defense is height.Their opponents' set-piece tactics are to drive the ball high and then use the player's height to fight.

But this height only reached the low flat ball on Ramos' chest and gave up the height, but he used it to have a speed beyond the reaction of Barcelona players.And Ramos, who had practiced this tactic a long time ago, rode Pepe to attract attention, kicked his legs forward and dived forward. In order to avoid the ball hitting his face, he deliberately retracted his head.

It has to be said that Ramos's header skills are good. He changed the direction of the ball in an instant with a strong header at the front point, and subconsciously hit a rebound ball. Down flew into the goal.

"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"In the first minute of the game, Real Madrid pulled back a goal. Gago took a corner kick. Ramos fought for the top. The ball bounced off the lawn and flew into the goal."

The moment Ramos scored the ball, the entire Bernabéu erupted instantly. The Real Madrid fans stood up at the moment when no one was commanding them, screaming unconsciously. on site.

Ramos, who scored the goal, immediately stood up from the lawn, and then rushed to Gago who was not far away, and threw him down.The two rolled into a ball on the corner flagpole. Behind the two, Pepe pushed forward with his strength, and then Robinho, Robben...

Schuster raised his arms and shouted at the moment of scoring, a perfect start, and with 89 minutes remaining, the gap was only one goal.

"It can be done, and we will definitely be able to overtake it. With our attack power, there is no problem!"

While cheering, the German shouted in his heart that the outside media has been criticizing him recently. Expert media believe that his wrong tactics led to the disastrous defeat in the first round.He would only put Gago on the field in the game, and then win the game with the command of the Argentine prince on the field. Without Gago, he is a second-rate role.

"Even if I can only use Gago, so what, as long as I can win. Players are used to play games. I have the ability of Gago to be Real Madrid. If you have the ability, go to Argentina to find one!"

Schuster thought secretly in his heart, and clapped hands with the assistant coaches around him to celebrate.

On the field, the Barcelona players are not calm. It took only 1 minute to close the gap by half. Judging from the situation, the advantage of two goals will be gone in less than one half, and it may even be a sad reminder. The backwardness was reversed and overtaken.

Rijkaard, who was still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai on the coach's bench, jumped up and rushed to the sidelines in an instant, shouting at the players on the field.The black swan didn't understand what was going on, how he lost the ball in the blink of an eye, and his ass hadn't been hot yet!

At this time, the Real Madrid players had finished celebrating. Although Gago was in great pain, he was very happy in his heart.

"There is only one ball left, work harder!"

Raul shouted and said to all his teammates, the originally slim hope instantly ignited into a raging fire, Real Madrid's players were all burning, and the target was the opponent's goal.

Ps: There was a big oolong yesterday, and I planned to change it four times, but who knew it was my friend's birthday, and I was dragged out to drink at night, and I rolled on the bed and got down on the bed after I came back, apology!Although there is a class today, I will try my best to update it. By the way, I beg for a recommendation ticket!
