Chapter 84 San Siro

After playing Celta in the away game, Real Madrid returned to their training ground to rest for a day, and then the whole team got on the plane to Milan.

When they came to Milan, countless media reporters flocked from all over the world, ready to watch this matchup between giants.The most attractive thing about this round of the Champions League is this game. Real Madrid and AC Milan, in terms of the number of Champions League titles, these two can be said to be well-deserved first and second.

Although these two teams are somewhat in decline, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse. When it comes to the background of the team, there are really few European football teams that can match them.

And there are many grievances between these two teams.

Of course, under the "ingenious" arrangement of UEFA, every giant has some grievances and grievances. Even if they have never played against each other in the past, after the restructuring of the Champions League, there will be such a coincidence that you will fight against each other.

Needless to say, the favor between Real Madrid and AC Milan, Milan, known as the "Nursing Home for Stars", has helped Real Madrid accept those old but ridiculously high-paid balloon stars.And the legendary Real Madrid captain Redondo, who led Real Madrid to win the 2000 Champions League by dancing alone, was ruthlessly sold to AC Milan by Florentino who had just come on stage when he was at his peak.At that time, Inter Milan next door offered 2700 million US dollars to buy Redondo, but Lafayette sold the Bernabéu Prince to AC Milan for 1100 million US dollars.

And after Redondo arrived at San Siro, he was directly injured for 28 months, which made him, who was faintly known as "the world's number one midfielder" at that time, fall from the peak in an instant.In the end, he retired helplessly due to injuries, and only played a few amateur games in Guti's hometown every year.

This transfer was speculated by the Italian media as "money laundering" and became a famous headless case in football history.

Now that Redondo's handpicked successor has come to San Siro, countless media have begun to stir up excitement.You must know that San Siro has one of the most famous princes in football today. The Brazilian young man Kaka has become the favorite of Milan fans since he landed in San Siro.

This year, Kaka has even upgraded to an unsolvable bug. He alone led the old, weak and disabled AC Milan out of the death group. In the eighth knockout round, AC Milan and the Celtics of the Scottish Super League The score was 180:0 in 0 minutes of the two rounds.In the overtime game at the critical moment, Kaka steals from the midfield alone, rides thousands of miles alone, penetrates the entire Celtics defense line, and finally singles out the goalkeeper. With a diamond-like goal, Milan enters the Quarterfinals.

Now, AC Milan, which is ready to return to the top, has met the revived Real Madrid. Milan has Kaka, and Real Madrid has Gago. The Argentine has reborn the entire team since joining Real Madrid in the winter.The recent tough battles have shown the true qualities of a true hero.

The two princes, who were both able to stand up to save the team at critical moments, are finally about to start a head-to-head duel.Of course, most of the media are still optimistic about Kaka. After all, the Brazilian has proved himself to be one of the best stars in football with his outstanding performance for several consecutive seasons.After all, Gago is only a rookie who has landed in Real Madrid for half a year. In the center of European football, all media will discount the achievements of players outside the five major leagues.So Gago's real qualifications are only half a season.

"Fair, although they all think you are good, you are still worse than Kaka!"

Early the next morning, when the Real Madrid players were having breakfast together, Guti took out a large stack of newspapers for Gago to read.The above are all speeches that Kaka can play well in San Siro. They said that Gago may have a performance, but it is impossible to overwhelm Kaka's limelight.

"Hmph, I'll let them know I'm not a 'new guy'!"

After looking at a few pictures, Gago put them into the trash can, and said arrogantly.

Seeing this scene, Guti gently gestured "yes" behind his back.Now Gago has unknowingly become a barometer of the team's performance, as long as he plays well, Real Madrid has not lost.Guti, who is most familiar with Gago, naturally knows his character.

Never admit defeat!

So there was this scene in the morning, the fourteenth master specially took out those who were optimistic about Kaka and belittling Gago from a large stack of newspapers, and used it to stimulate the fighting spirit of this junior.So from the stack of waste papers, Gago didn't see any Argentine newspapers.

However, Guti's move was really wrong. Originally, Gago was still struggling with how to fight against Kaka. Others didn't know, so could he not be clear?This season's Kaka is completely synonymous with "unsolvable". His high-speed movement of man and ball combined to blow up all the teams against him.

Gago's defense has always relied on anticipation, facing Kaka's unreasonable breakthrough method is the most annoying.He can now confidently guard against any skilled player, unless it is Ronaldinho's perverted dribbling that completely violates the limits of the human body.There is no way to rely on body or speed to grab food.

However, Guti's aggressiveness made him completely put aside these things. He decided to use offense to fight against Kaka. Since he couldn't defend him, he would use counterattacks to explode each other.

Before the start of the game, Capello blocked all reporters who wanted to interview, although the club gave him the goal of the quarterfinals.But since he has entered the quarterfinals, why not try for a higher ranking? The aggressiveness is something that every top coach must have.

He didn't release the entire roster until the final stipulated time, but the possibility of Capello's change in this game is very small. He is a head coach who likes stability.The difference lies in which position he will let Gago play. If it is a midfielder, then he has decided to defend and counterattack.But away from home a lot of sensible people will attack and try to score as many away goals as possible.Therefore, more than half of the experts believe that Gago may take the position of the left midfielder who has played well recently, and let him attack AC Milan's right wing.

When it came time for the game, Real Madrid's main lineup did not meet the expectations of the media. The midfielder was diamond-shaped, and Gago was the left midfielder.Capello obviously intends to kill his former team, although it is not known whether this "kill" can be killed.

Before the start of the game, when Gago and Kaka shook hands, it attracted all the cameras. Numerous flashes flashed, causing both Gago and Kaka to squint their eyes.
