Chapter 448 The King in White
When Gago was replaced by Raul, the applause of the audience reached the loudest.

Even the fans of Inter Milan showed their demeanor at this moment, applauding for Real Madrid to be crowned the "Triple Crown".

In the box, Moratti bitterly said "Congratulations" to Florentino!
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the audience cheered to the extreme.

"Swap jerseys!"

Gago came to the front of Milito and said to him, and then a sweaty blue-black jersey came to Gago's hands.

"Let's work hard together for the World Cup!"

After listening to Gago's words, Milito looked up with his lowered head, and he saw a person radiating light all over his body.

In front of the old Milito, Gago was as dazzling as a god. Today he showed his best form, scored twice and almost sent Inter Milan to the throne of the Triple Crown.But at the last moment, this god-like man shattered his dream.

After Gago and the others went back to the locker room to take a shower and changed the special T-shirts for winning the championship, they first came out to line up to welcome Inter Milan to the stage to receive the runner-up medal.

Subsequently, under the leadership of Raul, Gago took the championship medal from Platini's hands, and then raised the St. Brad Cup in the cheers of [-] fans.

The championship bus that had been prepared long ago was already in place outside. After the awards ceremony, all Real Madrid players stood on the bus and began to circle the city.

……

Half a month later, many Real Madrid fans still spoke with great pride when they talked about the team winning the Triple Crown.In the most dazzling downtown area of ​​Madrid, a giant poster of Gago was posted on the wall, and his long golden hair was braided around his neck and hung on his chest.

Gago in the poster is sitting on a silver throne, wearing a white suit, white pants, white boots, white shirt and white socks.

This pure white Gago poster was taken after Real Madrid won the Triple Crown, and it was sold out as soon as it came out, and it became the cover of major magazines.

In just a few days, nearly a million copies were sold!

The name of the poster is called "The King in White"!
When Gago led Real Madrid to win the team's unprecedented triple crown, this title was poured on him by all the media.

……

But what makes many Real Madrid fans painful is that after the Champions League final, they can't cheer for Gago!

In the World Cup in South Africa, no matter how much they like Gago, they must cheer for their team.

With the opening of the World Cup, the fact that Real Madrid won the Triple Crown has been gradually suppressed, and whether Argentina can win the championship has become the biggest topic.

This year's world football, almost all of the top teams are Argentines, especially Gago, who is known as the closest to the "king of the ball".

And Argentina, which has assembled in South Africa, did not disappoint the fans. Known as the strongest generation after Maradona, it kicked off the prelude to the expedition in the distant African continent!

……

"Fair, who are you texting?"

In Argentina's locker room, Higuain asked curiously, but Gago put away his cell phone before he came over.

"You can't control it!"

"Tch, so mysterious, it must be a girl!"

For Gago's urine, Higuain can be said to know better than himself.

Although he failed to catch up with the final of the Champions Cup, the smoker returned from injury in time before the World Cup, and after receiving his health report, Basile immediately decided to take him to South Africa.

It's just that in this way, Argentina's frontcourt position is even more crowded!

In addition to Gago and Messi who are firmly seated as the main force, the choice of the other two forwards is stared at by five or six pairs of eyes, Di Maria, Aguero, Higuain, Lavezzi, Tevez, Milli support.

Inter Milan's new king, Milito, is now working hard for substitute time. One can imagine how crowded Argentina's frontcourt is now.

However, under such circumstances, it is rare for Argentina, which has always liked internal conflicts, to have no rumors of internal conflicts this time.Because Gago, who is the core of the team, can hold on, this year's Real Madrid's Triple Crown has made Gago's name almost deified.

"Okay, pack up your mind and get ready to go. This time we are divided into Group B, which is a very good sign! South Korea, Nigeria, and Greece are just teams that let us warm up. These three games will be played together. We are not allowed to lose a game, we have to win it cleanly, don't worry about who our opponent is in the knockout round, we will meet the one we should meet sooner or later. All we need to do is to win every game until we win the championship!"

Basile clapped his hands, and delivered a speech with satisfaction to his team, who claimed to be the strongest Argentine national team in the past 15 years.

"The first opponent, Nigeria, let the world see the Eagles of Pampas!"

As soon as Basile's voice fell, Gago's cell phone rang suddenly. This made Basile, who was in a serious atmosphere, very embarrassed. If it was any other player, he would have scolded him early in the morning, but since it was Gago... …

"Fair, end the matter quickly, the game is only a few minutes away!"

After hearing Basile's gentle words, Higuain curled his lips in disbelief. He didn't forget the way he scolded him after he saw it after swiping Twitter for a while.

"Bull the soft and fear the hard!"

Higuain said something in his heart, there are many people who have the same idea as him.

After Gago glanced at the text message, he said sorry to Basile very sorry, and then replied, turning off the phone and locking it in his closet.

Subsequently, under the leadership of Zanetti, Argentina began to play, two and a half hours earlier than them, and the other two opponents in Group B had already finished a game.

In the end, the South Korean team defeated Greece 2-0 relying on the goals of Park Ji-sung and Lee Jung-soo. As the top seed in Group B, Argentina will naturally not let the small South Korean team stand alone.

When Gago played, the cheers of the audience rose to a certain level. For some fans, Gago is equivalent to football!
Relying on Gago's popularity, Argentina almost played the game as a home game. This time, Basile let Higuain and Aguero serve as wingers, and Gago and Messi were a midfielder and a center forward. All the head coaches are drooling.

The new Argentina, which debuted in the World Series for the first time, did not disappoint the fans. Gago's organization and scheduling in the frontcourt made Nigeria exhausted.

In the 7th minute of the first half, Gago assisted Heinze to score the goal with a corner kick. Then in the No. 309 minute, a through ball helped Higuain succeed in anti-offside and scored with a single low shot.

After completing the goal, Higuain and Gago hugged each other, and this goal made Basile on the sidelines relieve his worries.Although the doctor said that Higuain has fully recovered, Basile is still very worried about his state after recovery.

Many forwards have been reduced from world-class to second-rate after an injury. Injuries are the biggest disaster for players.

However, after seeing that the tacit understanding between Gago and Higuain was no different from that of the club, Basile relaxed and enjoyed the game!
Less than 10 minutes after the start of the second half, sparks sparked again between Gago and Higuain, and it was not at all unfamiliar that they hadn't played together for two months.

Facing the defense of three opponents at the front of the penalty area, Gago's beautiful shot once again helped Higuain face the goalkeeper single-handedly. Higuain, who has become the top striker on the planet, directly volleyed the ball. Scored in the top corner.

In the first game, Argentina defeated their opponents with an absolute advantage of 3:0. Although Gago, who has received much attention, did not score a goal, he completed a hat-trick of assists.

"Gago, who played as a striker in Real Madrid, is the number one in the world, and Gago, who plays as a midfielder in Argentina, is also the number one in the world. After 24 years, is Pampas once again dominating the World Cup?"

After the first round, it was not Argentina that stood out the most, but Germany. As Argentina's No. 4 rival, they swept Australia 0:[-]!
The only other team that still maintains the demeanor of a wealthy family is the Netherlands, which beat its opponent with two goals. The rest of England, France, and Italy were all tied by weak teams. Spain, the European champion, lost to Switzerland in a shocking manner.

In addition, Brazil, Argentina's number one mortal enemy, defeated North Korea 2:1 with difficulty, in which Maicon drew a zero-angle shot comparable to Van Basten in the game.

The unpopularity continued to be staged from the first round. In the qualifiers, Spain, which qualified with a perfect record like the Netherlands, was shocked by the loss of all fans.

This time, Real Madrid's "Marca" and "Aspen" and Barcelona's "Daily Sport" and "Mundo Deportivo" rarely stood in the same camp and criticized the Spanish national team.

"Without Gago and Messi, don't you all know how to win?"

For this kind of rhetorical question, the Spanish players really don't know how to refute it. As the most successful league in the Champions League, the elite team from the world's first league can't even win a small Switzerland. They really feel that Very shameful.

As Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the two strongest teams in the world, the Matador Legion must not tarnish the blood red of the Matador.

Casillas, who was criticized the worst, directly showed his power in the next two group matches, zero opponents, and helped the team enter the knockout round as the top of the group.

It's just that after the group stage, the most coquettish and dazzling team was not Spain, but Argentina where Gago belonged and the Dutch team led by Sneijder. Only these two powerful teams won three games and entered the knockout round with a total of nine points. , For a time, Argentina and the Netherlands were considered to be the favorites to win the competition.

What surprised the fans the most was that the defending champion Italy had two draws and one loss in the group stage, and was eliminated at the end with a total of 2 points. The strength of Inter Milan this season does not represent the strength of Italy. Among them, none of the Nerazzurri's starting 11 are Italians.

If Balotelli hadn't come off the bench, I'm afraid Inter Milan would have created an embarrassing record!
