Chapter 418 I just don't like it

The sideline referee held up the sign for 3 minutes of stoppage time, and Loew heaved a sigh of relief after reading it.Anyway, he survived the first half. He didn't expect that his team would be pinned down by Argentina and unable to move.

Messi, Gago, and Di Maria's breakthrough ability made the tall German defenders feel ashamed. If it weren't for Ballack's yelling from time to time to boost the team's morale and give up offense to help defense, Argentina would have already taken the lead up.When seeing stoppage time, it was not only Loew who was relieved, but also the players of the German team and the fans of the Allianz Arena.

Although they are both new players, it is obvious that Argentina should do better in exchange. Gago's core position in Argentina is unshakable, and everyone is united by his side to work hard for the summer World Cup in South Africa.

But just when the German team thought that the first half would end in a draw, Argentina suddenly made an effort.Samuel made a decisive grab, intercepted the ball passed by Ozil to Klose, and then handed it to Di Maria on the wing.

Due to his outstanding performance in Benfica, Di Maria put Aguero, Carlos Tevez, Lavezzi and other players on the bench for a rare start in this game.And he also showed a very hardworking attitude to repay Basile, going straight up and down the wing, not only the offensive breakthrough was sharp, but the defense was also in place.

This time, after Samuel's steal, he got the ball in time, and then made a long pass before Podolski came over.The ball landed precisely in front of Gago in the frontcourt, not enough to be by his side, Schweinsteiger and Ballack forced him over together, preventing him from having the slightest chance to catch the ball.

From a physical point of view, Ballack and Schweinsteiger alone can stand up to two Gagos, and now they bumped into each other without mercy, making some psychologically fragile female fans on the scene couldn't help but close their eyes.

But the result was beyond everyone's expectations. Gago, who has always disliked physical confrontation and looks relatively thin, actually carried Ballack and Schweinsteiger, and controlled the ball after the two pressed closely. down.Then, under everyone's surprised eyes, he forcibly turned around and squeezed between the two, and the ball was picked up in front of him at this moment.

"It's really...'beautiful'. I didn't expect the weak-looking Gago to be so strong in physical confrontation. I have never seen him so tough in the club!"

The people at the scene were obviously very surprised. For Gago, the faint No.1 in today's football, every professional and fan knows very well.

A typical South American player, with exquisite and excellent technique, strange long-range shooting arc, superb shooting skills, top speed and explosive power, and sharp breakthrough.But in the eyes of all fans, Gago, like most South American players, lacks physical confrontation ability and is vulnerable to injury.

It has to be said that Gago's frequent truces in the two years when he just joined Real Madrid left him with such a label in the minds of most fans.

Moreover, Gago has always used his excellent ball-handling ability and delicate technique when breaking through on the court, and he has never seen the purely physical way like just now.

What the fans don't know is that Gago has insisted on exercising in the equipment room for two hours every day for nearly three years, and has used his previous life experience to exercise his body muscle density to the extreme.It allows him to avoid injury to the maximum extent in the case of physical confrontation, and at the same time greatly enhances his physical fitness.

The reason why I almost never use my body to surpass people is just because I don't like it.In the atmosphere of Real Madrid, the world's most picky fans, no matter how rough people are, they will unconsciously start to develop towards technical flow.What's more, Gago is a technical player and likes to use his "feet" to speak!
But when it was time to use it, Gago was not polite at all, and his instant explosive power allowed him to squeeze away Ballack and Schweinsteiger.Then a through ball was sent before the pair took extreme measures.

The characteristic of German central defenders is that they turn slowly. The through ball sent by Gago directly penetrated Mertesacker and Tascher, and Higuain, who cooperated with him tacitly, succeeded in turning offside in an instant. After dribbling the ball past the goalkeeper Push the empty goal easily.

"goooooooooooooooooooal!"

"Beautiful counterattack, from the backcourt to the frontcourt, Argentina's offense is very clear this time, from Samuel stealing the ball to Di Maria's long pass from the backcourt, to Gago breaking through the ball, and Higuain A complete blow. This is the Pampas Eagles rebuilt by Basile, both in terms of individual ability and team combination. Even if we go to the World Cup now, it is not impossible to win the championship!"

After Gago assisted Higuain to score, all of Argentina was boiling. The commentator who broadcast the game analyzed the attack from a professional perspective, and then came to a "conclusion".And this conclusion naturally greatly inspired the citizens.

On the sidelines, Loew pursed his lips, his face was solemn, and there were bursts of anger in his eyes. He did not expect that Argentina would score a goal in such a moment of relaxation.And this goal made him so speechless. You must know that the three fronts of the German team are very complete at this time.Even Argentina's full attack may not be able to break through, but he underestimated the strength of the superstar. Gago's flash made a hole in the German team.

He really didn't know who to blame for losing the ball this time. Ballack and Schweinsteiger had done their best and almost smashed their bodies, but just like that, Gago also created a chance.And his best partner Higuain also seized this opportunity very well and completed the goal.

After Higuain scored a goal, he ran towards Gago directly. When the two celebrated, their Argentine teammates surrounded them and celebrated wantonly at the Allianz Arena.

At this time, Loew turned around and entered the locker room, and this action also took away the scene of the scene in an instant, causing an uproar in the audience.

Basile also saw this scene, but there was no abnormality on his face, only the joy after the team scored.

While Gago and the others were celebrating, stoppage time had passed, so after the re-kick-off, the referee blew the halftime whistle.

Gago hugged Higuain who scored the goal and walked into the channel, while the players of the German team looked dignified. The atmosphere between the two teams was completely opposite.

"Gonzalo, well done!"

In the locker room, Basile first praised Higuain who scored the goal, and then praised Gago, Di Maria and Samuel who participated in the goal.

"Continue to play like this in the second half. The control of the midfield is especially important. As long as we can suppress the midfield of the German team, then we will win this game!"

In the second half, he changed sides and fought again. Loew replaced Klose with Gomez, apparently dissatisfied with the team's offense in the first half.You must know that although the German team is not a team that pursues offensive football like Argentina, it is also unique in offense, especially the youth army led by Loew.

Ozil, Müller, and Podolski in the frontcourt are all players with excellent skills. With these three feeding the ball behind, as long as the forward is in good condition, they can basically score goals.But in this game, Klose was defended by his club teammate Demichelis, who was very familiar with him. In addition, Samuel continued to fill in behind, completely blocking this super center.

Loew naturally saw the problem, so he replaced Gomez, an unfamiliar player in Argentina, hoping to break the deadlock.After the start of the second half, the German team began to actively attack. Ballack and Schweinsteiger continued to organize attacks in the backcourt, and decisively inserted when necessary.And Ozil gradually showed his aura and creativity, and under Cambiasso's key care, he was still able to continue to send good shots to his teammates.

However, after Mascherano, the strongest defensive player in the Argentine team, came over, Ozil gradually began to misfire, but then another young genius Muller also started his own performance.This game is Muller's national team debut, which is of positive significance to him. The great surname of Muller makes him perform better in big scenes.

In the No.605 minute, he almost let Gomez break the goal with a cross pass. Fortunately, Romero fell to the ground and stretched his foot to block the ball. Samuel passed the ball between Podolski's supplementary shots. to Heinze.

The latter was transferred to Messi again, and Xiao Tiaoshao dribbled the ball from the middle to the middle to pass two defensive players and cut in to the middle to complete a quality shot.

If it weren't for Adler's concentration enough to flick the ball with his fingertips, it might be a beautiful world wave.

Messi's shot also made the players of the German team sober, and their mad attack will also give Argentina more opportunities.Any of these players in Argentina's frontcourt has the ability to instantly change the course of the game. If you are not careful, I am afraid that you will be scored again by the opponent before you equalize.

However, Loew used his actions to tell the players on the field not to worry and attack with all their strength.

Cacau and Kroos replaced Muller and Ozil, who were physically exhausted. In the next 5 minutes, Khedira replaced Schweinsteiger and signaled to Ballack to plug in, don't worry about defense anymore.

But Basile also completed a matchup substitution at this time, and Zabaleta replaced Heinze.The latter was already out of breath. In this game, the German team continued to attack him. After Ozil and Muller, now that the two teenagers are going down, the two who came up are obviously also targeting him.So Basile replaced Zabaleta with sufficient physical fitness. Since his most accustomed position is right back, Zanetti moved to the left after he played.

And this time the substitution also showed Basile's sophistication very well. Although he is not good at the tactical level, his accumulated experience over the years allows him to make the most correct choice at the most appropriate time.
