Chapter 285

After the end of the World Cup qualifiers, the leagues around the world will start again, and the most concerned La Liga is naturally Real Madrid.In the second round against Numancia's roster, the reporters suddenly found that the team's core Gago was not among them.Real Madrid's official statement on this is that Gago twisted his ankle during training, so he was not included in the squad just to be on the safe side.

For this reason, the fans all accepted it. After all, professional players always have some minor injuries, not to mention that Gago is not an iron man.

It's just that Gago's absence still makes fans slightly worried. The last few games have proved that Real Madrid with Gago and without Gago are completely two teams.And although the opponent is a newly promoted, he killed Barcelona in the last game.

The first game of the second round of the league after half a month because of the national team match day was Barcelona's home game against Racing Santander.The final result almost made Guardiola the shortest-lived Barcelona head coach. Amidst the cheers of tens of thousands of fans, Barcelona was tied 1:1, with one loss and one draw at the start. Consider the idea of ​​a coaching change.Even the fans think that Guardiola is not suitable for coaching the first team, he is too young, and should practice in the second team for a few more years.

Fortunately, Cruyff stood up to support his proud disciple at this time. You must know that this is the candidate he personally selected to replace Rijkaard. The Dutch Tianjiao believes that his vision is not wrong.

Guardiola was also relieved by the result of Real Madrid's game that started the next day. Also at home, Real Madrid had a vigorous confrontation with their opponents at the Bernabeu. In the end, the Los Blancos conceded three goals to their opponents. Under the same circumstances, the opponent also captured the goal three times.

The 3:3 score made Casillas speechless. Counting the score of the previous game, in the two games, he, the best goalkeeper in La Liga last season, has conceded five goals.The fifth goal in two games, this kind of data made San Casey blush hot.He was famous all his life and lost to Real Madrid's cheating defense line. Without Gago's balance, Real Madrid's gang of militant defenders attacked the mountain at the beginning of the game. Although the results were gratifying, but The consequences were also tragic.

Real Madrid and Barcelona seem to have made an appointment at the same time. Since the start of the game, they have lost one and drawn one, ranking bottom and close to the relegation zone.The mouthpieces of the two clubs have no intention of mocking their opponents at this time. The most important thing now is to find out what is wrong with the team while cheering for their own players.

Real Madrid's problem is simple, Gago is not present, the entire team's offense and defense can not achieve a perfect balance.The problem for Barcelona is that the new tactics are not yet proficient, and Messi has not yet enlightened.

After this round, Real Madrid began to put their own battlefield on the Champions League. In this game, Gago still did not enter the squad. The excuse was also that the injury was not healed.Due to the national team match day, the club's schedule has begun to be compressed. In the next month, Real Madrid will have double matches a week.

To be honest, before the start of the game, Schuster was quite nervous. After all, his recent poor performance has greatly reduced his status in the hearts of the team's top management.But fortunately, the first opponent in the group stage was a belly. When the Belarusian Borisol players walked onto the Bernabeu Stadium, many people's faces were extremely excited, as if they had come to a holy place.

And Borisol, who played with such a mood, was cleanly poured two goals by Real Madrid, who had not won a victory this season, at the Bernabeu. The Real Madrid star didn't understand the opponent's excitement at all.

The newly joined van der Vaart assisted Ramos to open the scoring in this game. In the second half, Raul received Guti's through shot from a small angle and was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper. Ruud van Nistelrooy picked one up not far away. Leak, scored the team's second goal.

Although the fans are very happy to win the first victory of the new season, the problems that Real Madrid showed in the game still make experts continue to criticize.With Gago "injured" and Robinho being sold away, there are not many ways for the team to break through the dense defense.In this game, the tragic Robben was injured again. Real Madrid's three players with the strongest breakthrough ability played only three games in the new season, but all of them failed due to various reasons.

This time they were able to easily defeat their opponents because Real Madrid's strength is indeed superior to their opponents, but if the opponents are Zenit and Juventus, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

This worry became a reality in the third round of the league against Racing Santander. Although Ruud van Nistelrooy opened the scoring for the team, he was equalized by the opponent's counterattack. The worst thing was that in stoppage time, Real Madrid was beaten The opponent kills.A foul by Cannavaro gave the opponent a penalty kick and sent himself off the field at the same time.

What's worse is that Barcelona, ​​which started later, found the feeling of winning. After defeating Sporting Lisbon 3:1 in the last Champions League, this round even bloodbathed Sporting Gijon 6:1 away.Messi scored twice in this game. In the three rounds of the league, Xiao Tiaoshow scored three goals. The efficiency of one goal per game made people see the rise of a superstar.

Real Madrid only scored one point after three rounds of the league and have fallen into the relegation zone.Schuster has been under a lot of pressure these days, not only from criticism from the media, but also from high-level warnings.Last season's double crown made Real Madrid's top management headed by Calderon unable to accept such a huge gap.

In the fourth round of the league, against Sporting Gijon at home, this is a life-and-death battle that only allows victory.If he lost like this, Schuster didn't know that he would wake up that day to hear that he was fired.

Fortunately, he was relieved by the good news at this time. Gago was able to make a comeback. Although his body hadn't recovered to his peak, he had no problem playing games.Moreover, staying away from the stadium for more than a week and not playing again is likely to make the technology regress.Blindly resting is not a good thing, and proper participation in competitions is the kingly way.

And the moment Gago's roster entered the squad, the Real Madrid fans almost burst into tears. This bitter day is finally coming to an end.

But the fact is that Gago is sitting on the bench, and he just came back is not suitable for accepting the high-intensity game rhythm all at once.But maybe it was Gago's appearance that encouraged the players of Real Madrid. In this game, everyone showed a very high level.

Guti directly soared out of his own "super god state" and completed a hat-trick of assists in the first half. The newly joined van der Vaart had a nervous attack and completed his first goal in Real Madrid while scoring three goals alone. , staged a hat-trick.Before the break, Higuain scored again.

Leading by four goals in the first half, Schuster was very relieved to send Gago off the field in the second half and let him go up to find his status.However, in the first minute of the second half, Gago told him that as long as he was on the field, his state was perfect.

Guti made a diagonal pass from the outside, and Gago rubbed lightly against the incoming ball from the left side of the penalty area, and the ball changed direction instantly and was sent to the goal.Raul scored a fifth goal for the team with an easy poke shot.

In the 70th minute, although Gago's long-range shot at the top of the penalty area was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper, Sanchez was so powerful that he let go. The second time also broke Sporting Gijon.The 6:1 bloodbath by Barcelona in the last round has already hurt them very much. They originally planned to take advantage of Real Madrid's poor state to find self-confidence.But the game was not over yet, and he was conceded six more goals. Sporting Gijon goalkeeper Sanchez said that he was very injured. In the last two games, I am afraid that no one has picked up more balls in the goal than him.

In the last 10 minutes of the game, Gago, who has been chasing goals, finally completed his first goal of the season.After he cooperated with Guti, he kicked a volley from the left side of the penalty area. The ball flew straight to the upper corner of the goal and hit the crossbar into the net.

"Perfect comeback. Many people thought that Gago would not have the dominant performance of last season after ten days away from the stadium, but Gago told the world with his iconic pass and shot that he is still Real Madrid. Core."

"Perfect volley, straight into the corner, Sanchez didn't react at all."

"Barcelona swept Sporting Gijon with six goals in the last round. Everyone was amazed by their powerful offensive firepower, thinking that even Real Madrid would not be stronger than them. But today, the same opponent, different scores, Real Madrid used Seven goals tell everyone that they are the best in Europe than attacking."

After filling Sporting Gijon with seven goals, the Real Madrid players began to slow down contentedly.At this time, the Gijon players finally understood that it was their fault that they were conceded six goals by Barcelona in the last round.This answer made them want to cry without tears.

After the game, Real Madrid fans started to cheer, cheering for the team's first victory in the league, and even more happy for Gago's comeback.As long as the core is intact, no matter how many points you fall behind, you will be able to recover in the end.

The next day, the media who had just finished praising Barcelona began to change their guns and kept praising Real Madrid.If the fans are interested, take out the two newspapers and compare them, and you will find that there is basically no difference in the content if the name is changed.

"Barcelona" Invincible became "Real Madrid" Invincible...

Although van der Vaart's hat-trick is very concerned, but the fans are more interested in Gago's comeback. In the first game after the "injury", and he came off the bench, he just passed and shot. This kind of performance does not look like he just recovered from injury.

The tragic van der Vaart deliberately collected more than a dozen newspapers the next day, but the news on the front page was Gago's comeback without exception. His hat-trick could only be seen on the second page.Of course, he eventually found his own front-page newspapers, but they were all Dutch media.

This fact filled him with grief and indignation.
