Chapter 297 Hat Trick
After playing Uruguay, the Argentine national team packed up their bags and headed to Chile to play the last World Cup preliminaries of the year.

The Blue and Whites naturally want to bid farewell to 08 with a victory, but the opponents are not simple. Chile, led by former Argentine coach Bielsa, is the craziest team in South America.Bielsa, who has believed in offensive football all his life, has built the Chilean team into the strongest offensive team in South America, and the total number of goals is even higher than that of Argentina and Brazil.

In the 10th minute of the game, Argentina suffered a heavy blow. Heinze collided violently with the opponent's striker Gonzalez during a clearance.

Next, Argentina and Chile, two teams that advocated offense, started to play sparks. I have to say that Bielsa has a good way of training offense. Under the surprised eyes of all the fans, Argentina's goal was the first to fall. .

Mel made an assist from the right and pressed to cross the goal in the penalty area. The young player Orlana, who made his debut for the first time, followed up with a shot near the small penalty area and broke the net.

The lagging Argentine players didn't have the slightest anxiety in their hearts. Compared with their strongest offense, their defense can only be said to be so-so.And Heinze's fate left Argentina with a gap on the left.The newly played Diaz simply cannot replace the role of Real Madrid's left gate.

In the next period of time, Argentina launched a counterattack, and the Chilean team not to be outdone played a counterattack, and there were exchanges between the two sides.Gago's diagonal pass from the left helped Higuain face the goalkeeper, but he was unlucky and missed.Messi also used his breakthrough to create many opportunities, but he was always close to breaking the goal.

"What's going on, Argentina's offense isn't as smooth as before in this game, and it's rare to see Gago get the ball?"

The commentator who broadcast this game in Argentina asked his partner very strangely.Another older-looking narrator frowned for a while, then spoke hesitantly.

"It's Roman, every time the ball reaches his feet, the team's offense will slow down, and there are at least two players around Phil every time, Roman sees this, so he rarely gives the ball to Phil!"

"Sergio, when you say that, I can see that, compared with the fast pace of the whole team, Roman is really too slow, although he can hold the ball!"

One of the two commentators is the ace commentator Harsa of Argentine TV, and the other is the legendary Argentine star Batista.Listening to what the two of them said, the domestic fans who watched the live broadcast took a closer look, and it was really the case.Compared with other energetic young people, Riquelme's rhythm as the core is really too slow.Every time he takes the ball, he has to stay for more than ten seconds, which is enough time for the Chilean players to defend in place.

Gago and Messi, who had the best breakthroughs, were surrounded by heavy guards, which led to Riquelme and the two of them rarely having the ball.In this way, Argentina's offense stalled.Riquelme, the core of the team, controls the ball for the entire team. If there is a problem with him, the entire team's offense will not be smooth.

"It seems that Bielsa understands Roman's style very well. After all, he was also the head coach of the Nerazzurri. In this game, he used a fast pace to raise the rhythm of Argentina, and separated Roman from the field. As a core, he is separated from the team and will make several young people in the Argentine frontcourt at a loss."

Halsa sighed and said that he saw the problem, but he couldn't solve it unless Riquelme was replaced.But Basile could not have the courage.

"If the core is Fer, then the Chilean team is looking for a dead end!"

Batista couldn't help but say something.

……

"The end of the game is really surprising. Argentina actually lost to Chile in the away game. Although it was only a small loss by one goal, it undoubtedly showed other South American teams how to deal with Pampas. The whole team, then it can make the whole of Argentina feel at a loss."

In fact, Halsa still has a word to say, as long as Riquelme gives the ball to Gago when he feels that he is restricted, then Argentina will not lose.In the Copa America, Basile adopted the dual-core tactics of Riquelme and Gago and achieved success.But in this game, Riquelme didn't have this kind of thought. The audience only saw him firmly controlling the ball at his feet, dragging down the entire team.

……

After losing the game, Gago was undoubtedly very depressed, but he definitely couldn't express his dissatisfaction in person.After playing two world preliminaries, he, Higuain and Aguero went back to Madrid overnight.Because of Heinze's injury, it may take a few days before he can return to the club.

This is good news for Marcelo. Although his performance has been getting better and better recently, the team's main left back is still Heinze.Now that the Argentine international is injured, it undoubtedly gives him more opportunities to prove himself, and it is even possible to establish his main position within this time.Back then, Evra took advantage of this moment to steal Heinze's main position in Manchester United.

But it is not good news for Schuster. Although he has decided to train Marcelo, he only intends to use him as a member of the rotation. The big scene still needs Heinze, a veteran, to sit in charge.Now that he is injured, the team can only rely on the unbalanced Marcelo, who is likely to be caught by the opponent.

Fortunately, the next opponents are not very strong. With the strength of Real Madrid, even without Marcelo, they can easily defeat them.

If it was Heinze's injury that just made Schuster feel depressed, then another player's injury directly made him almost scold his mother.

Ruud van Nistelrooy tore his cruciate ligament and was directly reimbursed for the entire season.

This is his old injury. Although he recovered very well before, he is a veteran after all. This time in the European qualifiers, he collided with the opponent and landed unstable. He twisted his knee and fell to the ground screaming.

After the result check, inform Real Madrid not to think that the king of the small penalty area will still be able to play this season.

Although Higuain started to rise from the second half of last season, the team's main striker combination is still Raul and Van Nistelrooy. After all, in the big scene, Van Nistelrooy is the veteran.

It's good now, I can only rely on two juniors to go up.

Fortunately, these two young people who came to Real Madrid at the same time as Gago are talented enough to fill their vacancies. Otherwise, Schuster can only wait until the winter transfer time to buy someone to fill the lineup.

When all the players came to the club, seeing the black face of coach Schuster, Marcelo and Higuain were a little happy, but they still looked sad on the surface.

The Fifa virus is a pain for all giant clubs. Schuster learned the lessons of last season and rotated most of the main players in the No.12 round of the league. Gago did not enter the squad.

In the end, Real Madrid beat Huelva by one goal in the away game, and Sneijder, who played in rotation, scored a beautiful long shot.Seeing Sneijder's performance, Schuster finally looked a little better. At least these talents bought by the team can be topped at this moment.Although the other Dutchman, Drenthe, was a bit of a cheater, Sneijder was still good.And Robben also returned from injury at this critical moment.

What makes the Real Madrid players even more happy is that Barcelona finally won't win, and the fifa virus has affected them.Getafe drew 1:1 at home at Camp Nou.

All of a sudden, with this round of victory, Real Madrid surpassed Villarreal and rose to second place, and only three points away from the top Barcelona.

After this round, Real Madrid's match was transferred to the European arena. Because they had already qualified ahead of schedule, Schuster once again brought most of the substitutes in the Belarus away game against Borisol.However, Gago, who is the core, still played, and this move also brought Real Madrid a victory in the away game.

In the first half, both sides said there was no goal. In the second half, Schuster replaced Gago. The Argentine prince really lived up to expectations. In the No.70 minute, he volleyed after receiving a cross from Marcelo at the front of the penalty area. Scored the only goal.Helping Real Madrid get three points again, even if Juventus defeated Zenit, they still ranked No.2.

After this round of group matches, the form of Real Madrid's group instantly became clear, and the two European giants joined hands to qualify.And Zenit, which was favored by many people before the game, ranked first from the bottom, and may not even play in the Europa League.

After returning to the domestic arena, Schuster did not give his old club face at all in the away game against Getafe, and formed an all-main lineup.If you don't grab points at this time, Real Madrid may really have no hope.

The difficulty of this game is beyond everyone's imagination. After the draw with Barcelona in the last round, the morale of the Getafe players was high. Relying on the advantage of the home court, they actually relied on two counterattacks twice in the first half Break through the door of Real Madrid.

After the start of the second half, Higuain relied on his personal ability to get back a goal, but after 2 minutes, Getafe once again used the opportunity of counterattack to score a goal.Marcelo didn't have time to come back after going up, and was pierced by the opponent to the left.

Originally, everyone thought that Real Madrid would lose an away game, but Gago stood up and exploded.

In the No. 70 minute, he used a direct free kick to get back a goal, and then 5 minutes later, he made a world wave after cutting in from the left side of the penalty area.Helping the team equalize the score, it made the Real Madrid fans crazy. In the last minute, when it was close to stoppage time, Gago and Higuain faced the attacking goalkeeper after a two-for-one cooperation.

He scored three yuan alone and staged a hat-trick!
