Chapter 338 Faint Hope

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the three of Maradona in the box all let out a sigh of relief. If the winner is really decided, they really don't know what to do?
Especially Redondo, compared with Maradona and Caniggia, his image can be said to be a model.I regret that I was bewitched by Kaniggia and plotted against the old horse together.

"Cut, let Barcelona catch up again!"

This round of Real Madrid and Barcelona started at the same time. Real Madrid was tied at home by the explosive Atletico Madrid, but Barcelona was lucky to beat their opponents 2-0.

Messi, who missed a penalty kick in the last game, performed well this time, and it can be said that he defeated his opponent by himself.After scoring in the first half, he assisted Iniesta to seal the victory completely.

"This kid looks more and more like me!"

After learning about Messi's performance, Maradona said very badly.

"Let's talk about it after he wins a Golden Globe!"

As Gago's senior brother, Redondo naturally had his eyes above his head, so he used this sentence to refute Lao Ma's statement.

"Would you like to make another bet, this year's Golden Globe winner, I bet on Messi, the bet is up to you!"

Maradona, who was counted once, naturally wanted to get the place back, and at this time he directly started the game.

"Okay, I bet you, I bet Phil will win this year's Ballon d'Or, and you don't have to do a striptease if you lose this time. Just put your ass up on the goal line and let me be on the penalty spot Shoot, when the ball I kick hits your ass ten times, the bet is over!"

When Redondo was still hesitating, Caniggia immediately took over and made Maradona give him a blank look.

"I'll let the two of you bet with me!"

Seeing the old horse rascal's appearance, Redondo smiled wryly, and nodded in agreement under Canigia's pleading eyes.

"Okay, it's settled, Gabriel, you will testify against me then!"

Seeing that both of them agreed, Lao Ma immediately said to Batty, the honest man on the other side.He directly ignored Basile, because he knew that this guy was also a hypocrite, and maybe he would get along with Caniggia and Redondo later.

To be honest, Batty really didn't want to be a witness, but in this place, only his character convinced both parties present, so he had no choice but to nod.

After the matter was confirmed, Redondo's face was still full of worry, and Caniggia quickly comforted him.

"Don't worry, with Fair's performance this year, the chance of defending the Golden Globe is more than [-]%. Our winning rate in this bet is very high!"

"I'm not worried about this, I'm worried about Real Madrid's next game!"

Redondo shook his head after listening to Caniggia's words, and expressed his real worries deep in his heart.

"Next time..."

Caniggia didn't react for a while, but Basile's face changed drastically when he heard it, and he expressed Redondo's worries with trembling lips.

"The next match is the knockout round of the Champions League. Real Madrid will go to Stamford Bridge to challenge Chelsea. With their current physical fitness and lineup, I'm afraid..."

Basile said that he didn't go on here, but everyone present knew what he meant.Since there is not a single Argentine among the Chelsea players, Real Madrid, where Argentine internationals such as Gago, Higuain, Mascherano, Heinze, etc., have become the club supported by these Argentine legends.

Of course they hope that Real Madrid can eliminate Chelsea and reach the quarter-finals, but judging from the situation of today's game, I'm afraid the consequences will be ominous.

Obviously, the three consecutive days of one game have exhausted the physical fitness of Real Madrid's main players, as you can see from today's derby.If it weren't for Gago's savior again, I'm afraid the unbeaten record of nearly ten years would be broken.

But today, Gago could barely run when he was off the field, and the referee gave him a yellow card for delaying time because he was too slow off the field.

Without Gago, Real Madrid's combat effectiveness will be compromised.

"I hope I can survive this hurdle. As long as Chelsea is eliminated, Real Madrid will have time to rest, and the opponents in the next league will be relatively easy!"

In the end, Redondo could only comfort himself in this way, but the development of the matter did not develop as he expected at all.

……

England, London, Stamford Bridge!
All the home fans jumped up from their positions excitedly. On the big screen, the score of 3:0 gave them no reason not to be excited.

"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"Lampard, the magic lamp scored again. He scored twice in this game. Today, Real Madrid's midfielder can't limit him at all!"

"I can't believe that last season's defending champion was defeated by Chelsea with three goals at Stamford Bridge. You must know that in last year's final, Real Madrid beat the Blues to win the championship. .In the first leg of the two sides, Real Madrid also defeated Chelsea with a score of 3:2."

"Today's Real Madrid players are completely out of shape. They seem to have sandbags tied to their legs, and their movements are as slow as 50-[-]-year-old people!"

The Spanish commentator made mechanical comments on the game with a pale face.

"Real Madrid is really tired. The 120-minute penalty kick against Barcelona exhausted their last physical strength and will. Before this knockout match, the Blancos also played a fierce Madrid derby at home. , At that time, they had already shown signs of fatigue, if it wasn't for Gago's savior, their undefeated record would have come to an end!"

"Schuster was not prepared for the rotation in the devil's schedule of three days and one game. He has always played with all the main players. Such evil results finally matured today. Robben missed this game due to injury and transferred After that, the combination of Alonso and Mascherano, who are the absolute main force, could not play because of the quota problem, and almost half of the midfielder was disabled. With such a lineup and tired body, Real Madrid was beaten by Chelsea, who was waiting for work at Stamford Bridge. It is normal to pour three goals in a row!"

The [-] Real Madrid fans who followed the team were completely desperate at this time. After falling behind by two goals in the first half, they could still hope for the adjustment of the head coach at halftime, and for Gago to explode again. Save the team.

But in the No.605 minute, Lampard once again blasted Casillas' gate with a heavy artillery, and they were completely desperate.

With less than half an hour left in the game, unless the team scores three goals, it will be able to overwhelm the opponent in total and enter the quarterfinals.At this time, even scoring two goals is not enough. Overtime is not something that Real Madrid can afford now.

As time went by, many Real Madrid fans even started to leave the field. They didn't want to see the moment when the team was eliminated.

But more fans turned their attention to the figure who was still working hard in the frontcourt.

Fernando Gago, currently the number one star in Real Madrid's lineup, is also the player with the highest prestige in the eyes of fans.Rescuing the team in distress many times has given fans a superstitious worship of him.

And in the No.801 minute, he made the Real Madrid fans who had suppressed the whole game scream excitedly.

"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooal, Fernando Gago, he did not let the fans down, he stood up when the team needed him most, and a beautiful volley blasted Petr Cech's fingers."

"This goal is completely a manifestation of his personal ability. Under the pincer attack of Carvalho and Terry at the front of the penalty area, the non-stop ball directly pumped Sneijder's pass into the left side of the goal."

"His goal keeps Real Madrid hopeful. If he scores another goal in less than 10 minutes, the game will be dragged into overtime. Although this situation may not be good for Real Madrid, but after all There is still a glimmer of light!"

After the goal, Gago immediately ran into the goal to snatch the ball from Cech, and then quickly ran to the midfield.Now for Real Madrid, not a second can be wasted.

Obviously the players knew this too, and they just clapped hands with Gago on the way to the midfield, and the celebration was over.

Although the Chelsea players tried their best to delay the time, the ball still came out.Gago's goal stimulated all the other Real Madrid players, and this time they were running again.

Everyone knows that this is a flashback. They need to score at least one goal during this period to have any hope of advancing. They must work hard!
This is the time, everyone on the field is desperate, Chelsea players want to keep the two-goal lead, while Real Madrid is trying to attack by all means.The backcourt is completely empty, and both Pepe and Cannavaro have overwhelmed the midfielder.And Marcelo and Ramos have used themselves as full-backs.

Now Real Madrid's goalkeeper Iker Casillas is holding the ball in the backcourt, while Chelsea's players are all returning to the defense, and there is no one left in the frontcourt.Drogba used his high point to push out Real Madrid's cross and corner kick one by one.Real Madrid players more and more desperate.

In the 807th minute of the game, Gago received the ball in front of the penalty area. At this point in the game, Real Madrid players unconsciously sent the ball to his feet.They believed the man would save the team, as he had done before.

"I won't let you down!"

With this in mind, Gago forced his foot to hit the goal in front of the penalty area. The ball passed through the only gap between Terry and Carvalho and flew towards the goal.

Cech started to move the moment he saw the ball, but the ball flew faster than he expected. After he got up, the ball blasted into the goal like a white light.

At this moment, the audience was ebullient, and the Real Madrid fans who were watching the game from far away in Spain roared excitedly.

At this moment, the whole of Madrid made a shrill sound like a waking beast.

"Gago, the world wave, he also scored twice and helped the team equalize the total score. Real Madrid still has hope. There are at least 3 minutes of stoppage time. If it doesn't work, there will be overtime!"

"It will definitely work. Real Madrid will definitely win. We are the strongest. The curse of the top sixteen has been broken long ago. We will once again reach the top eight, enter the final, and finally win the championship!"
