Chapter 331 A Protracted War, Real Madrid's Victory ([-]rd)
After finishing the friendly match with the French team, Gago returned to Madrid with a group of national team teammates.They really have no time to rest in the following time. Since the league was postponed for a round, the week that was originally used to rest before the Champions League was compressed.

But now Schuster is not a rookie who doesn't know how to rotate. In the make-up match against Racing Santander, he directly removed Gago and Higuain who had just returned from the national team from the squad.Let them have a good rest, and don't even give them a chance to be a substitute.

At this time, Gago finally experienced Riquelme's feelings. This kind of feeling that he is obviously healthy, but he can only watch his teammates struggle on the field is really uncomfortable.

Moreover, Real Madrid did not play well in this game. Van der Vaart, who replaced Gago, was no longer as amazing as he was at the beginning of the season.He was completely blocked by the opponent and could not effectively create chances to score.

Fortunately, Real Madrid's defense in this game was very good, and Casillas was once again possessed by God, saving the opponent's three headers in a row, allowing the two sides to enter the intermission with a score of 0:0.

At the beginning of the second half, Real Madrid adjusted their formation. Guti replaced Van der Vaart as a substitute. Although Real Madrid's deputy team sat on the bench for various reasons this season, it is undeniable that he is a man who can break the deadlock at critical moments.

In the 4th minute of coming off the bench, it was Guti's through kick from outside the penalty area that helped Raul face the goalkeeper single-handedly.The Lord of the Rings broke into the restricted area and dunked Cesar, then calmly pushed and scored on the right edge of the small restricted area.

Relying on this one and only goal, Real Madrid defeated Racing Santander at home with difficulty, without being opened up by Barcelona, ​​who also won the make-up match.

And this victory also increased Real Madrid's unbeaten league games this season, and their seven-game winning streak was also praised by all the media.But at this time, "Daily Sports Daily" jumped out again, saying in a disdainful tone that seven consecutive victories are nothing. You must know that Barcelona has created nine consecutive victories at the beginning of this season.

"When will Real Madrid win nine consecutive victories and compare with Barcelona!"

In this round of make-up, Barcelona relied on Eto'o's brace and Alves' world wave to beat Sporting Gijon 3:1 at home. Compared with the muddy Real Madrid, Barcelona is indeed more of a champion.

"Victory is what I care about. Compared with three points, I would rather be in a mess."

After achieving better results, Schuster wanted to be better. When he was interviewed by the media, some extreme Real Madrid fans accused him of what he said.But what he said is not wrong, Gago, Higuain and other generals are not present, the most important thing is that Real Madrid can win the game.

And in the No.20 third round of the league, he told the fans with a hearty victory.It's not that he doesn't want to play beautifully, it's just that sometimes compared with victory, some things on the scene must be discarded.

Gago returned in this round, and after a week of recuperation, his physical fitness returned to its peak.At the Windmill Stadium, he also let the fans of this northern team cheer for him.

Gorgeous ball control skills, precise and sharp passing, and unstoppable breakthroughs, he alone messed up Sporting Gijon's defense.

In the No. 15 minute, he split the ball to Ramos on the right, and the Real Madrid right back showed his ability to assist after receiving the ball.The cross ball accurately landed at Raul's feet in the penalty area, and the Lord of the Rings easily pushed the ball and scored the goal.

After Raul scored the goal, thousands of Real Madrid fans stood up and applauded him collectively.It was his 308th goal for Real Madrid, a goal that allowed him to surpass the record held by team legend Di Stefano.

Now, he is a living legend!
And this goal also opened the prelude to Real Madrid's attack. In the No.307 minute, Gago's cross was grabbed by Raul and then ferried to the unguarded Higuain on the other side.The small smoking gun jumped to the top and scored the second goal for the team.This is also his No.14 goal in the league and is currently Real Madrid's second scorer.

In the second half, Gago got his first assist of the game. After receiving a direct pass from Alonso, he tapped his heel and sent the ball to the neutral space on the left side of the penalty area as if he had eyes behind his back.Marcelo, who came up to assist, volleyed directly to the far corner and succeeded.

After Marcelo scored the goal, Gago and Higuain gathered around to celebrate. The three young people who came to Real Madrid at the same time are now the indispensable pillars of the team.

And at the last moment of the game, Raul scored twice. Gago evaded the gap with consecutive spikes at the front of the penalty area, and then flicked the instep of his right foot, and the ball flew to the left of the goal.Angle and power are the best choices, but the goalkeeper of Sporting Gijon blocked the ball as if he was hanging, but failed to stop Raul's supplementary shot.

Just after Real Madrid beat Sporting Gijon 4:0, another good news came, Barcelona was tied 2:2 by Betis in the away game.The gap between the two sides narrowed to one point.This protracted war has finally shown a decline in Barcelona, ​​and Real Madrid fans don't know how long they have been looking forward to.

In the third round at the beginning of the season, the two sides began to compete, and Barcelona has been pressing Real Madrid to become the top of the list with one more win.Moreover, the terrifying record of 21 consecutive unbeaten rounds almost made Real Madrid fans despair. Fortunately, the Real Madrid players withstood the pressure and stabilized the situation with a wave of eight consecutive victories after the World War.Also put pressure on Barcelona up front until they collapse,

"They're finished, they're tired, it's a draw, they're going to lose in the next game, and Real Madrid will sit at the top next!"

"Aspen" told all the fans in a very excited tone on the second day that Barcelona was tied. Currently, in the league standings, Barcelona occupies the top spot with 60 points, followed by Real Madrid with 59 points.In a round of the league, the number one position will change.

It is not unreasonable for "Aspen" to be so excited, because Barcelona's opponent in the next round of the league is the Spaniard.As another team in the Catalonia region, the Spaniard has always given Real Madrid surprises, they can always make the mighty Barcelona ashamed.Unlike Atletico Madrid, who let go of the water when they saw Barcelona, ​​Messi easily staged a hat-trick half a month ago.

"Don't look at the standings now, we just need to do our best. In the next round against Betis, they can draw with Barcelona at home, which shows their strength. Don't think about the two rounds of the Copa del Rey. They were slaughtered by us with six goals. , now we must rush to the first place, then win the championship, and achieve the great cause of three consecutive league titles!"

Schuster boosted the morale of his players very well, and this round of league matches between Real Madrid and Barcelona started at the same time again.At this time, all the teams admired the five-body pitch of the Spanish Football Association. They were able to pinch and count, and they arranged the schedule so cleverly that the two teams decided the winner at this most exciting moment.

Bringing up all the spirits, Real Madrid once again let the Betis players cry at home. The first stimulation made the Real Madrid players show their concentration against Barcelona in this game.

Real Madrid scored six goals against Betis in the first half, and this result made all the fans crazy.

In the opening 5 minutes, a header from Raul assisted Higuain to open the scoring, and after that, the whole game belonged to Gago, and his performance made all the fans worship him.

Five consecutive assists completely crushed Betis. Crosses from the side, through oblique passes, corner kicks, free kicks, and various assists opened the eyes of all fans.Basically all the offensive routines were demonstrated by Gago in this game.

After Gago assisted Ramos with a header in stoppage time in the first half, Marcelo and Ramos came to Gago's body, gliding and knelt down, and at the same time kept bowing their heads.

Kneeling down as if meeting a king, at this moment, Gago is the king of the entire Bernabéu!
Numerous diehard fans also imitated Marcelo and Ramos in the stands, knelt down beside their seats, bowed their heads in the direction where Gago was standing.

At this moment, like a god, he is surrounded and worshiped by believers who worship him.It was really this game that completely made Gago sit on the altar.

Wenjun No.1 in football, a superstar genius avoiding white robes!
And during the intermission, Schuster, who had already decided the overall situation, immediately replaced Gago, no matter how dissatisfied the fans were.

You must know that after this game is the knockout round of the Champions League. Real Madrid will face the Blue Lions Chelsea at home. This is the most difficult bone in football. I'm afraid he will arrange for Gago to take a rest.

But fortunately, he sent Gago to play, otherwise, there would be no miracle of five assists in a single game.After scoring six goals, Real Madrid's players slowed down in the second half.They also know the difficulty of their opponent Chelsea in the next game, and they know that at this time they should maintain their strength to face the knockout round of the Champions League.

And Betis was completely crushed by Real Madrid in the first half, and his performance in the second half was sleepwalking. If Real Madrid worked hard, it might not be impossible to score another six goals.

After the game, the news from another stadium made the whole Bernabéu start to boil.

Barcelona lost, they lost 1:2 at home to the Espanyol in the same city.

"As expected of our best allies, I love you, Spaniards!"

The moment he got the news, Ramos yelled at the reporter's camera without hesitation, as if he was afraid that Barcelona would not be angry enough.

Since Real Madrid fell behind Barcelona in the third round of the league, it has now reached No. 20 in the league for three rounds.After [-] rounds, after five months, Real Madrid finally caught up with their rivals, overtook them, and sat at the top of the list.At this time, the league also kicked off its climax.

All Real Madrid fans know that this will be a protracted war, and they also believe that Real Madrid will win in the end.

Because they have Gago!
