Chapter 401 Defending the Golden Globe Award

There is no shortage of superstars who won the Ballon d'Or in the history of Real Madrid, but more of them are finished products bought with huge transfer fees.For example, Zidane, Ronaldo, Figo, Cannavaro and others were all superstars in world football before coming to Real Madrid, and winning the Ballon d'Or has basically nothing to do with Real Madrid.

The only one who really grew up in Real Madrid and won the Ballon d'Or with Real Madrid's achievements is Stefano in ancient times, and now there is another Gago.Moreover, in the history of Real Madrid, only Gago has won the Ballon d'Or for two consecutive years. The rest of the players, such as Zidane and Ronaldo, have not been able to complete the miracle of defending the title.

In fact, it was possible for Stefano to complete the three consecutive Golden Globes, but he was robbed of a Golden Globe by his Real Madrid teammate Kepa at the peak of the Golden Arrow, and only won the 1957 and 1959 awards. Golden Globes.

Gago is the first superstar in the history of Real Madrid to defend the Golden Globe Award and grew up in the Bernabeu. From this moment on, his name has been ranked together with various legends.

Cruyff, Keegan, Rummenigge, Platini, Van Basten!
These are the only five legendary superstars in today's football who have completed the miracle of defending the Ballon d'Or, and now, Fernando Gago is added!

When the news of Gago defending the Golden Globe reached Argentina, the whole Pampas became excited.In fact, this year's Golden Globe winner will never escape the palm of Argentina, but the significance of Messi winning and Gago defending the title are different.There are dozens of players who have won the Ballon d'Or in the world, but there are only five players who have defended the title. Whichever is more important, everyone knows which is more meaningful.

When Gago completed the defending moment, his position in the history of Argentine football was second only to Maradona.Now the gap between Gago and the world champion is only one World Cup. The World Cup in South Africa a year later is the best time for Gago to become the king.

Cruyff scolded "French Football" for cheating in his column when Gago won the Ballon d'Or. With Messi's performance last year, this honor should belong to Barcelona, ​​not Real Madrid.

However, Beckenbauer, Van Basten, Pele, Maradona, Rummenigge and all the superstars in the history of Real Madrid expressed their congratulations through the media, Weibo and other tools at the same time. There is no objection to the result once.

The gap between No.1 and No.2 is very small. If someone who voted changed his mind, he might be able to change the result this time.Generally speaking, whether it is Gago or Messi winning the award will be controversial. There is no perfect thing in this world.

On the other hand, it is understandable whether it is Gago or Messi who won the award. Gago helped Real Madrid complete the three consecutive league titles last year, and also won the Copa del Rey. In the summer, he also helped Argentina win the Confederation cup of champions.Although Messi can be regarded as a member of Argentina, everyone knows that the core of the Nerazzurri is Gago, and most of the credit for this championship is counted on Gago.

And Messi has only one Champions Cup. Although the number is small, it has the highest gold content.

People who voted probably took the number into consideration, so Gago, who won more championships, finally defended the Golden Globe with a slight advantage.

Moreover, Real Madrid's performance in the first half of this year was really outstanding, with [-] league rounds, four Champions League games, and two King's Cup rounds, a total of [-] games remained unbeaten.The number of victories reached [-] games. In these [-] games, Gago scored [-] goals and assisted [-] times. Such excellent data is also the reason why he was able to win the Golden Globe Award again.Of course, Messi's performance in the first half of the year was also very good. Barcelona only lost one of the [-] games, but Real Madrid was too good.

Although he failed to win the Golden Globe, Messi still sent a congratulatory text message to Gago very gracefully, and the friendship between the two did not deteriorate because of this.

Of course, most of the media still began to speculate that the relationship between Gago and Messi broke down because of this Golden Globe Award, and the Argentine national team began to split.

With the blessings of all relatives and friends, Gago came to France and raised the glory of the Golden Globe for the second time.

However, he returned to Real Madrid with his two older sisters the next day. Even Mr. Golden Ball wanted to play football.

La Liga No.13 round.

Just at the Bernabéu's home court, Gago showed his two Ballon d'Ors to the fans before the game started.This time, all the [-] seats in the Bernabéu were filled, and thousands of people even watched the short ceremony on the big screen outside the stadium.

Almeria, who was a guest at the Bernabeu, also welcomed Gago, the defending Ballon d'Or, in a very gentlemanly manner before the game.

But after the game started, both sides started the game with real knives and guns.

Naturally, the Real Madrid players would not let their opponents spoil Gago's celebration, and all of them worked hard to win the game.The Los Blancos, which were obviously superior in strength, took the lead in the first half. Robben assisted Ramos with a header from the right.

However, at the beginning of the second half, Real Madrid, who was careless at the beginning, was overtaken by the opponent with two goals in a row, but this also made the Real Madrid stars wake up. Gago also recovered from the trance and began to show his world-class talent strength.

Facing the opponent's iron barrel formation, in the last 15 minutes, Gago planned the team to score three goals in a row, smashing the opponent's wall.

First of all, the strong attack from the center made the opponent have to put him in the penalty area. The referee decisively awarded a penalty kick. Gago still maintained his record of 100% penalty kicks and pushed the upper right corner of the goal to score.

Five minutes after the equalizer, Gago and Higuain once again played a tacit cooperation, and the smoker swayed past the opponent's goalkeeper in the penalty area and scored with a low shot.

What excited the fans most was in the No.90 minute, when Marcelo, who was inserted in the backcourt, made a pass from the left, and Gago, who advanced into the small penalty area, scored against the Almeria goalkeeper from a small angle.The precise stab shot passed the ball through Alves' crotch, pierced the goal in one fell swoop, and helped the team completely seal the victory.

Mr. Golden Ball's outstanding performance naturally won the best of the game. He scored twice and scored his No.11 goal in the league. He tied with Villa for the second place in the scorer list. The first place is naturally Higuain, who has scored fourteen goals so far, has been fed by Gago.

However, it is a pity for Gago and the others that Barcelona also won. At the Riazor Stadium, Barcelona turned away and easily defeated Deportivo 3:1.Guardiola adjusted his team very well and stopped the decline after two winless games.Messi also scored twice in this round. It can be seen that he still has some grievances about his failure to win the Ballon d'Or.It's just that all his grievances are vented towards his opponents with goals.

"If only the results of the Golden Globes were announced before the fight of the century!"

Seeing Messi in such a state, Guardiola cursed "French Football" in his heart. If this is the case, he can use this to stimulate the morale of the whole team to the extreme, and then win that game Crucial battle of the century.

But it is a pity that the war of the century was two days earlier!

After this round of the league, Real Madrid ushered in the fifth game of the Champions League group stage, playing against Zurich at home.As he has already qualified ahead of schedule, Schuster dispatched most of the substitutes, and Gago, the number one star, also sat on the bench.In fact, according to Gago's mind, he hopes to go on the court to count the number of goals, but considering that after the San Siro hat-trick, he has scored seven goals in the Champions League, four goals ahead of the No.2 Messi .If it goes further, the top scorer of the season will end early.

Of course Gago didn't do anything that wasn't challenging, and considering that his next opponent was Valencia, Gago held back his restless heart and quietly sat on the bench.

In this game, Real Madrid took the lead in the opening 10 minutes. After Silva and Mata played exquisitely, they reached the penalty area and scored with a clever shot.After that, although Real Madrid also had many opportunities, they failed to score again. In the end, relying on Silva's goal to beat Zurich, the group won five consecutive victories!

However, AC Milan and Marseille, which started at the same time, fought a dull conservative battle in San Siro in order to compete for the right to qualify. The score of 1:1 made both sides very dissatisfied.

As long as Marseille can beat Real Madrid at home in the next game, unless AC Milan can beat Zurich by more than six goals, otherwise the Serie A giants can only play in the Europa League.In other words, now AC Milan's hope of qualifying is all in the mind of Real Madrid.

The possibility of Marseille defeating Real Madrid at home is extremely small, but if Schuster sends out all the substitutes and wants to eliminate AC Milan in the group stage, Deschamps' team may really qualify.

All of a sudden, the mouthpieces of AC Milan began to howl. If this was the relationship between the two teams in the past, it would be possible for Real Madrid to do their best to help them get rid of Marseille.However, in recent years, Galliani has become closer to Barcelona, ​​but everyone knows that Kaka's problem has made Real Madrid and Milan quite embarrassing. Now even if he asks for help, Calderon may not necessarily agree.

But it was about qualifying, so Galliani still bit the bullet and called someone, hoping to use this good friend relationship to promote the relationship with Real Madrid, so that AC Milan will not be embarrassed enough to play in the Europa League this season!
Even being out of the top [-] of the Champions League is better than winning the UEFA Cup!

Galliani still cares about the dignity of the wealthy.

"No problem, what is the relationship between us, this matter is on me!"

Faced with Galliani's request, Florentino slapped his chest loudly. After the call, Lafayette called Sanchez and Mijatovic, two of Calderon's confidantes, and through them Influence Calderon, let Schuster go all out in the last round of the Champions League group stage, and help AC Milan qualify!

"This favor is not easy to repay!"

After Florentino put down the phone, a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth!

Ps: Going back to school tomorrow, there may be problems with the update!
