princely elegance

Chapter 431
Before the game, no one thought that at Old Trafford, Real Madrid would be able to overwhelm the home team Manchester United.

In their opinion, no matter how strong Real Madrid is, they should lie down on the home court of the Red Devils and avoid their edge.As a result, they turned directly against the guest and beat Manchester United in their own half.

Sneijder just took a long shot from this side to test the quality of the crossbar, and then Gago, not to be outdone, faced the defense of Vidic and Ferdinand in the penalty area, and rubbed a perfect arc with his left foot The thread hit the post.

Under such circumstances, Ferguson couldn't sit still. He didn't think there should be such a difference in strength between the two teams.Even if Real Madrid has the upper hand in terms of control, the two teams should be even in the number of shots.

But now that the game has passed for half an hour, Real Madrid has had a good time.As for Manchester United, apart from Ronaldo's venting long-range shots, Rooney's header was the only one.It's a pity that no one hit the goal frame, which means that Manchester United was suppressed by Real Madrid in both the scene and the substance.

For this situation, Ferguson is naturally very puzzled. In his opinion, his team's defensive ability is also one of the top players in the entire football world.But when facing Real Madrid's offense, there are many dangers, just like ordinary teams.

After watching for a while, Ferguson's years of experience made him see the problem, which was control.

The ball is difficult to break under the feet of Gago, Robben, and Silva. The cooperation between these three players in the frontcourt of Real Madrid has reached a very high level.

When Silva or Robben is in a tight siege, Gago can definitely be seen not far away to come to meet him.And if Gago was surrounded, then apart from Silva and Robben, there would be Sneijder waiting outside.

With Gago as the core, Real Madrid's frontcourt offense has completely formed a whole. Higuain's absence not only did not damage Real Madrid's strength, but instead allowed Schuster to configure the strongest trident in the entire football world.

In this formation, Gago fully demonstrated his ability and reached his peak state. Even in the face of Manchester United, he dared to dribble the ball.

In the No.307 minute, the Real Madrid fans who had been suppressed for a long time finally gave out cheers. Silva made a concealed through pass, allowing Gago to get the ball in the penalty area, and then two consecutive spikes dodged the gap and faced Fan. Desa.This time, Gago didn't give the Dutch goalkeeper another chance to save, and directly pumped the ball into the upper left corner of the goal.

"Beautiful feint, gestural shot, which caused Ferdinand to dunk the ball when he blocked it. The same action dunked Vidic. The final shot was even more decisive, and the angle was tricky, and it went straight to the dead corner."

"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"Fernando Gago, the No. 14 goals in the Champions League, tied the single-season scoring record of AC Milan's legendary star Altafini. Even if Real Madrid failed to win the championship this time, only one record , Gago is already proud enough!"

The moment the ball hit the net, Gago ran out from the goal, arrived at the corner flag, faced the [-] fans who came with the team, glided on his knees, and blew a kiss at the same time gesture!It caused the audience to scream, especially the girls.

When Gago scored, Schuster on the sidelines excitedly waved his fist. It was a big risk for him to play this slightly conservative lineup in the away game. Fortunately, if he loses, it is conceivable how the harsh Real Madrid fans will treat him.

Fortunately, judging from the present, he won the bet. Not only did the lineup of double defensive midfielders stabilize Real Madrid's defense, but the frontcourt attack combination led by Gago also took the lead in breaking Manchester United's goal.

His biggest confidence in making this decision is Gago's state. The Argentine king has completely shocked him recently. This invincible posture of scoring goals reminds him of the aliens in his peak period!
This gesture made Schuster understand the fact that Gago had indeed entered his peak period.

Every player has his own peak period, and that time period is the most perfect peak of the combination of the players' own consciousness and body.

It's just that many players can only reach this state after the age of 26. At that time, they have worked hard in football for nearly ten years, and their consciousness and experience are enough, and their bodies are also their most golden period.In that case, the perfect combination of the two can allow a player to play the most brilliant statistics of his career.

And Gago is 24 years old this year. Although it can be said to be two or three years earlier than ordinary players, he is not at all the unrestrained explosion of Torres.It's the thin hair after it has accumulated to the extreme. Schuster can be said to have watched Gago grow up, stepping towards the peak every year.

And all this seemed to be a matter of course after he was pushed to the position of No. [-] and a half. In this position, Gago started the most brilliant period of his career.

Schuster believes that as long as Gago can maintain this state until he is 30 years old, then after he retires, the title of world champion is not a dream.

"I don't believe that in football, who else can stop Phil!"

The German stood confidently on the sidelines of the court, lashed out at Fang Qiu, and directed the team to continue attacking with Gago as the core.

However, he forgot that Gago is not a family in this football world. There are three other players who can be compared with him, and one of them is on the field as his opponent.

After Gago's goal, Ronaldo has completely exploded. For him, he has been looking forward to this game for two full years.

Kaka beat him three years ago, and this year he avenged it with a perfect 4-0 at Old Trafford.

Gago defeated him two years ago, and he was not convinced at all when he lost in those two rounds. The final total score between the two teams was the same, but Manchester United was eliminated with a goal difference disadvantage.He believes that if the team that advances is Manchester United, then he is also confident that he can reach the final and finally beat Chelsea to win the championship!

Therefore, this game is his time to prove himself, to prove that he also has the strength to dominate the Champions Cup.But the development of the game was completely different from what he expected. The defense of Aveiroa and Ramos made him frustrated repeatedly.Among them, Ramos relied on his strong body to confront him head-on, while Aveiroa used precise positioning to block his breakthrough.

Every time he just tried his best to break through Ramos, but Arbeloa, who was ambushing on the side, always snatched the ball away from him like a thief.

And as time went on, it became more and more difficult for him to catch the ball. With his silence, Manchester United's situation became even more unbearable.All this made Ronaldo, who was not yet fully mature, impatient. In order to catch the ball, he began to retreat, but found that he could no longer pass easily after getting the ball.

After Gago's goal, Ronaldo was completely restless. He was not reconciled. The media hyped that this year would be his revenge trip.He believed it, especially after he swept AC Milan 4-0 at home. He believed that he was the protagonist this year. Whether it was Gago or Messi, they were just a step on his way to revenge. Just a stepping stone.

But when he found out that the truth of the matter was far from what he had imagined, his mentality became a little unbalanced. Seeing that he could not enter the restricted area of ​​Real Madrid, he started to shoot indiscriminately!

Although a few shots can always hit the goal frame, Real Madrid's goalkeeper is Casillas, the number one goalkeeper in football after Buffon gets old.For St. Cassie, who has superhuman reflexes, blocking Ronaldo's long-range shot is just a matter of effort.

But in this case, Manchester United was lucky enough to equalize the score. Although it was not Ronaldo who scored the goal, it had a lot to do with him.

The time was near the end of the first half. Ronaldo took another long shot after getting the ball, but the ball was blocked by the brave Ramos with his body on the way, and the route deviated a lot.For goalkeepers, this is the most annoying situation.

Fortunately, Ramos did not block the ball into his own goal this time. After the ball hit him, it deflected to the outside of the goal post. If this trend is followed, it will at most give Manchester United a corner kick.

But under such circumstances, a person in the Manchester United camp who was ignored by everyone, including his own teammates, stood up and easily poked the redirected ball into the goal.

"Go in...the ball goes in!"

When Berbatov poked the ball into the goal, the commentators on the scene did not react. After a long time, the shouts of the fans at the scene made them react.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKOOOOALAAL!"!

"At the end of the first half, Berbatov scored the equalizer for Manchester United. It was unexpected. No one thought of him. Real Madrid's defense made a mistake. No one was behind him. Beside him, let him easily enter the penalty area and complete the goal!"

For this goal, the Manchester United fans are naturally ecstatic. There is a line between hell and heaven. Originally they thought they would enter the intermission with a backward attitude, but who would have thought that Bei, who was denounced by the fans as a "parallel importer", Ba was actually so chic in such a crucial game.

If you don't move, you will be fine, and if you move, you will be thunderous, and one blow will kill you!
When Berbataba scored, even his own teammates didn't react, let alone Gago, the Real Madrid players.

"Why did you lose the ball?"

Faced with this problem, the big screen at the scene answered his doubts very understandingly. I saw that he followed Pepe unhurriedly when all the Manchester United players were playing for Ronaldo. , as if carelessly, but the moment the Portuguese hit Ramos with a long shot, he accelerated and ran towards the small penalty area.

At this time, Rooney's advance attracted Pepe's attention, so his advance did not attract anyone's attention until he scored a goal, so people reacted.

How did he get there!
