Chapter 269 Gago's Goal

Gago's sudden explosion in the second half disrupted Grant's tactics. He did not expect that the combination of Ballack and Makelele would not be able to stop the Argentine.

After Lampard retreated to defend Sneijder, Gago seemed to be a real dragon entering the sea.That kind of explosive power, coupled with his top-notch ball-handling ability, ordinary players will be thrown away the moment he accelerates. Although Makelele and Ballack are top-notch players, they constantly change their rhythm in Gago It is no longer possible to restrain the core of Real Madrid.

Fortunately, the combination of Terry and Carvalho used a steady performance at the critical moment to keep Chelsea's defense from making major mistakes. Coupled with Cech's brave performance in front of the goal, Real Madrid still attacked after 15 minutes in the second half. Failed to score.

After changing direction again to avoid Makelele's flying shovel, Gago frowned slightly. Now Real Madrid can be said to have brought its offensive ability to the extreme.After he came up, everyone's offensive characteristics were used to the fullest.With him and the core in the frontcourt, Ruud van Nistelrooy as the fulcrum, Raul's point grabbing, Robben's breakthrough, Sneijder and his long-range shots, it can be said that eighteen martial arts took turns to blast against Chelsea's defense. Indiscriminate bombing, but the opponent deserves to be recognized as the most difficult team in Europe, and has withstood all the offensives of Real Madrid. Although it seems that the next moment is about to lose the ball, it has persisted until now.

"It can't go on like this!"

No team can attack the whole game with all their strength in one go. If Real Madrid does not break the opponent's goal in a short period of time, after their own physical fitness declines, they may face a fierce counterattack from the opponent.

If you don't break him before the spring rebounds, I'm afraid you will be severely hurt by the spring that has accumulated a strong force.

Thinking of this, Gago began to change his strategy, and switched positions with Robben during the attack. Compared with the combination of Terry and Carvalho, it was easier for Ashley Cole to break through.In fact, the weakest point of Chelsea's defense should be Ivanovic on the right, but Grant also understands this, so he let Lampard go to help defend, even if Gago broke Ballack and Makelele. The sieve didn't let him go back.

"The next step is the key to victory."

After Mourinho saw that Gago and Robben began to change positions frequently, he began to concentrate his somewhat slack attention.Chelsea's lineup was built by him, so he naturally knows where the weak points are.

The central defender close to Ashley Cole is Terry. Compared with Carvalho, the Chelsea captain's defensive style is not suitable for dealing with technical players.It can be said that Chelsea's defense has not been broken until now because of Carvalho's four-place filling. The anticipation ability of this lagging central defender is not inferior to that of Gago.

Facing Ashley Cole, England's No. [-] left-back, Gago looked calm, the ball lingered under his feet, and observed the situation in the penalty area.

Just when the fans couldn't help but want to blink, Gago quickly dribbled the ball towards the baseline, his body exploded like a rocket.Cole, who started late, fell behind by half a body, but he had rich experience and did not rush to shovel, because based on this trend, Gago would be pushed to the bottom line by him, and he could only cross if he could not break through.

Gago also knew that Cole's explosive power was also good, and he didn't let him get away from a position, and couldn't let him break into the penalty area.But at this moment, Gago forcibly stopped his body that was still accelerating. The ball bounced off his right foot and bounced back. Then his right foot was used as a supporting leg, and his left calf swung quickly without adjusting the twitch. On the bouncing ball.

"Gago, made a sudden stop, dodged Cole, and shot from a small angle!"

This shot is very sudden. For goalkeepers, the most annoying thing is those players who don’t need to adjust when shooting, because it is too sudden. Ronaldinho’s famous work at Stamford Bridge in his peak period was in Terry and Carvalho’s Under the defense, the calf swung and blasted into a world wave.Cech had no temper for that shot, and the ball hit the net after he reacted.

And Gago's shot also has that kind of style, and there is no adjustment. The calf swings and volleys. The difference is that this kick is closer to the goal.But the angle is too small, which is the best news for Cech. If he wants to throw Cole away and create space for shooting, he must increase his speed to a certain extent.Gago waited for this moment, but things were not perfect, too close to the baseline, the angle of the shot was too small.

Cech is tall, but this time the speed of falling to the ground is not slow, and his arms are long enough. The moment he fell to the ground, his hands stretched out, blocking all angles of Gago's shot.

"Success!"

"San...Cech, he blocked Gago's shot...he let go, is this ball very powerful?"

Gago knew that although his shot was sudden this time, but because of the relatively small angle, it was very likely to be saved by Cech, so he rubbed the arch of his foot the moment the ball was drawn, with strength and not weak rotation, Cech, who fell to the ground in a hurry, didn't expect it, and dropped his hand the moment he threw the ball.

"It's now!"

When Gago shot the goal, he predicted the landing point according to the rotation of the ball, and immediately broke out and rushed over at his fastest speed.And his opponent was Carvalho. The Portuguese also reacted the moment Cech dropped his hand. After running two steps, he immediately slid the shovel, trying to shovel the ball out of the baseline first.

However, Gago took a quick step and stabbed the ball with his foot. Although he was tackled down by Carvalho the next moment, the ball had already entered the goal.

"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"Fernando Gago, after 10 minutes of Real Madrid's mad attack around Chelsea's goal in the second half, he finally scored a goal. Chelsea's defense was good enough, but Gago used his personal ability to gouge it out. Opened the gap and scored a go-ahead goal."

"Now, the initiative is in the hands of Real Madrid again. There are still 10 minutes left. Can Chelsea equalize again in the next time? Real Madrid claim their tenth championship in history, only half an hour away!"

After Gago saw the ball cross the goal line, he immediately got up from the lawn. Although the ankle that was tackled by Carvalho still hurt a little, compared with the joy of scoring, these were nothing.

Raul was the first to come over and hug Gago, the hero of the two goals made all the Real Madrid fans happy at this moment.Countless Meilingers all over the world were cheering. Those who came to watch the game stood up, while those watching the live broadcast jumped up and shouted wildly regardless of the opinions of the people around them.

"Jose, if you were the manager of Chelsea now, what would you do?"

After listening to what Boas said, Mourinho glanced at Grant, who was obviously anxious off the court, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed.

"I'm not God. One adjustment can bring goals, but if it were me, I would replace Malouda with Anelka. He and Didier Drogba cooperate better. The semi-final can knock out Liverpool. Relying on the tacit cooperation between the two of them. What is needed at this time is the inspiration of a genius. Real Madrid scored a goal relying on Gago's personal ability. Chelsea needs a change at this time."

After Mourinho finished speaking, Grant below made a substitution, but instead of replacing the offensive player as he said, he replaced Makelele with Essien.After the decline in physical fitness, the French can no longer make enough restrictions on Gago.

"idiot!"

Seeing this substitution, Mourinho spit out two words, and his face was not good. After all, Chelsea is the team he brought out. Of course, he hopes that his disciples will win the championship in the end.Then he looked at Gago, who was surrounded by his teammates and celebrated, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

"The future of football belongs to him!"

"what?"

Because he said this in a very low voice, even Boas beside him couldn't hear clearly, so he asked suspiciously.

"Nothing, just look at Real Madrid's adjustments!"

Seeing the opponent making a substitution, Schuster was not idle, and sent Baptista who had already warmed up. He replaced Sneijder and began to defend Lampard in the second half. Under the circumstances, the Dutch genius basically didn't play much.Baptista played as a free agent at his peak, and like Gago, he can play any position in the midfield.Moreover, his body is strong, which can strengthen the hardness of the team's midfield and further intercept Chelsea.

Real Madrid's posture of turning to defense after scoring a goal is obvious, so Grant's substitution basically has no effect.Although Essien is much better than Makelele in terms of offense, but for defensive players, the combat power is only five at most.

After Baptista came up, Real Madrid started a lineup of three defensive midfielders, with Gago in the center, Diarra and Bapp separated on both sides, and once again built a tougher line of defense in front of the back line.

Robben was left in the frontcourt, Raul and Ruud van Nistelrooy reacted. Robben was most familiar with this routine when he was at Chelsea.

At the beginning, Chelsea maintained a complete defense line because of scruples about Real Madrid's offense, but as time passed the threshold of 10 minutes, the two full-backs had begun to advance desperately.

Ashley Cole is the famous England's No. [-] left back, and Ivanovic is not yet famous, but his future achievements are no less than Ashley Cole.Moreover, both of them are all-round full-backs with strong assist ability. After Sneijder left the field, Real Madrid's lineup no longer has a left-back.Ivanovic dribbled the ball straight across halftime before being stopped by Baptista.

Chelsea, the Blue Lions, finally began to show their iron-blooded demeanor in a desperate situation. Mourinho's style is so distinct at this moment.
