princely elegance

Chapter 2
Regarding Gago's proposal, the two of them had no objections, and the three of them went to the restaurant of the hotel together and had a good meal.During the period, the three of them talked very happily, and they made an appointment to visit the Goddess of Harvest Plaza in Madrid tomorrow.

During the following winter break, the three often went out to play together, and soon after, they began to call each other brothers.Gago affectionately called Marcelo a pony, and Higuain a watermelon.The actions of the three of them gave many media reporters who followed them a lot of first-hand information.However, the three of them did not pay attention to these news, because the short winter break ended, and the second half of the La Liga season, the war will resume.

Early in the morning, the three of Gago came to the club together and started training. The three of them were greeted by Real Madrid captain Raul.Although he criticized Calderon for not giving Castilla's youth players a chance, but as the flag of Real Madrid, his demeanor is still worthy of admiration.

All three got their own jerseys, Gago was No. 16, Marcelo was No. 12, and Higuain was No. 20.Those transferred in winter, as long as they weren't big names, basically didn't have any good numbers left for them.This made Gago very disappointed. He hoped that he could wear No. 5 of his idol Redondo, but now No. 5 belongs to Cannavaro.With the current self, he must not be able to win the Italian captain who just won the Golden Globe.

But Gago thought about it, Cannavaro wouldn't be able to fight for long, and when he left, wouldn't the No. 5 still belong to him?Thinking of this, he happily started daily training with Marcelo Higuain.

At this time, the rest of the team members also arrived one after another, and they didn't pay much attention to Gago and the three young men.It's normal to think about it. Although the three South American juniors are somewhat famous, they are just future stars. They are all famous figures in world football.

Not long after, Capello, wearing a training suit and gold-rimmed glasses, also came to the training ground, looked around, and frowned.Walked up to the assistant coach, asked a few words, and then looked very angry.After making a phone call, Gago was guessing what was going on. At this moment, a person very similar to him came to his side.

"It's because Ronnie hasn't come yet, the boss is very angry!"

"Well?"

Jia Ge looked at the Fourteenth Master very puzzled, wondering why he told himself.

"Fair asked me to help you integrate into Real Madrid. He is my friend and I can't refuse."

Guti's words made Gago instantly understand that even though Fernando Redondo has left Real Madrid, he still has a huge influence.

"Thank you!"

Naturally, Jiago would not refuse his senior brother's kindness, and showed a friendly smile to Guti.

After hearing this, Guti didn't respond, but just said that a football was kicked over.Gago stopped the ball with his right foot, then kicked it again and started training with Guti.

Shortly thereafter, a bloated bald man arrived at the training ground.As soon as he came in, Capello scolded him, but he obviously didn't pay much attention to it because of his lazy appearance.After Capello started to let him go to training, he began to say hello to his teammates with a playful smile.When he came to Guti, he also smiled at Gago, but Gago still greeted him very stiffly, not to mention Marcelo and Higuain who were training.

The alien, Ronaldo, even though he has begun to gain weight, his reputation makes everyone tremble.

At this time, seeing that everyone was here, Capello began to greet everyone to gather and began to speak.

"At the moment we are third in the league, three points behind Barcelona in second, and five points behind Sevilla at the top of the table. In the second half of the season, everyone can grit their teeth and continue to put pressure on the leaders. I don’t want to see the disastrous defeat against Huelva in the first half of the season.”

"Okay, let's welcome the three new teammates who will join us in the second half of the season!"

Seeing that Capello finished speaking, the assistant coach beside him said something winkingly, and at the same time signaled Gago and the three of them to come out and introduce themselves.

"Hi everyone, I'm Marcelo Junior, I'm from Brazil and I play as a left back. Real Madrid is a club with a glorious history and I hope to be successful here."

"I'm Fernando Gago. I'm very happy to be here at the Bernabeu. I've been a Real Madrid fan since I was a child. I've always wanted to play for Real Madrid like my idol Redondo."

"I'm Higuain, it's an honor to join Real Madrid and I will do my best for it."

It can be seen that Higuain has relatively few words, and he is the kind of person who likes to do things and doesn't like to talk too much.And Marcelo's personality is a bit more cheerful, not to mention Gago, his name can still make Real Madrid's giants look at each other.But I'm afraid no one would have thought that Higuain, who was the least favored in later generations, later became the striker with the highest scoring efficiency in Real Madrid, and Marcelo was hailed as the successor of Carlos. Only Gago, in Real Madrid Can't even play as a substitute.

"Okay, everyone knows each other. Let's practice for a while, and then start to play a team practice match."

After Capello finished speaking, he turned and left, and then the superstars of Real Madrid also started their own training. Marcelo began to cooperate with his two compatriots Carlos and Robinho in small technical training.Only Higuain dribbles and stops the ball silently.

After Gago practiced with Guti for a while, Higuain joined in. He has no strange feeling about this body, every time he touches the ball, catches the ball, and stops the ball very smoothly.The cooperation with Guti gradually became a tacit understanding, but with a Higuain added in the middle, there are often some mistakes in the process of fast passing.I have to say that the current small smoking gun is not the striker who killed the god later, and the basic skills are not solid yet.

Shortly after, with a beep, the assistant coach blew his whistle and called everyone together.

Divided everyone into two groups, and those present started the training match.Although it was a training match, the three of Gago still faced it with their best condition. After all, only by performing well can they have more chances to play.

This time the three of them were divided into Group B, a pair of substitutes, facing Real Madrid's main lineup in the first half of the season.

Goalkeeper Iker Casillas, the defense is Carlos, Cannavaro, Elguera, Ramos, the midfielder is Guti, Reyes, Emerson, Beckham, the double forward is Van Ni and Lauer.

On their side, goalkeeper Lopez, defense Marcelo, Salgado, Pavon, Torres, midfielder Gago, Diarra, Garcia, forwards Robinho and Higuain, Cardinal Sano dragged back and hit the front midfielder.

442 vs. 433!
Gago stood on the field, thinking thoughtfully.

The opponent kicked off the ball, Ruud kicked the ball to Raul and then ran towards the enemy's penalty area. Raul handed the ball to Guti, and it seemed that he was preparing to organize and attack slowly.

Gago pays close attention to Van Nistelrooy, the king of the penalty area doesn't look like a rookie at all, he became the team's top scorer when he joined Real Madrid for the first time this season, pushing Ronaldo to the bench.

But at this time, Guti came over with the ball, and Gago, as a defensive midfielder, naturally had to protect the midfielder and greeted him.

When Guti saw Gago's figure, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he flicked his toes lightly, making a breakthrough to the left.But Gago's super predictive ability let him know that this was a fake move, and the center of gravity did not change at all.

But Guti saw that he was not swayed by him, and his rich experience made him instantly change from fake to real, and directly adjusted his center of gravity to break through to the left, but at this moment, a figure of Gago appeared in front of him instantly, blocking his breakthrough route.

But Fourteen is famous not for breaking through, but for passing the ball. In an instant, he poked his left foot and handed the ball to Raul, who had already reached the front of the penalty area, before Gago.

Although the person has not passed, the ball has passed.

"Excellent, it seems that we should pay attention to blocking his passing route next time."

The incomplete defense didn't frustrate Gago, he retreated quickly and ran to a position where he could easily catch up with the defender, instead of blindly chasing him down.

Seeing Gago's movements, Capello, who was watching, nodded slightly, with a good sense of position.

But at this time, Raul's intention to pass the ball was too obvious. There was only Ruud van Nistelrooy in front of him. Pavon intercepted the ball as soon as he went up. Then he looked up and saw that Gago was in a good position and passed the ball with one kick.

Guti, who was not far from Gago, saw Gago stop the ball, so he took advantage of the opportunity to stick up, trying to break the ball.However, Gago's other abilities may not be the top, but it is estimated that there are only a few famous midfield superstars who can surpass him in ball handling ability.

The left foot is used as a supporting foot, and the right foot flicks the ball, avoiding Guti's interception, taking advantage of the trend, and passing the fourteenth master.I looked up and saw that the opponent's defense line was still intact and it was not easy to counterattack, so I controlled the ball under my feet and started a positional battle.

Gago dribbled the ball around the midfield and constantly dispatched it, attracting the opponent's players to grab it, and then moved to the left in a wide range.There, Marcelo has already stepped forward quickly. After receiving the pass from Gago, Xiao Ma quickly looked up and saw that Beckham had already pushed forward.Seeing that Cassano had started to come over to meet him, Xiao Ma didn't rush to break through, and made another pass.

Cassano turned around after receiving the ball, but at this time he did not have enough control over the ball and was snatched by Cannavaro.

After receiving Cannavaro's pass, Emerson was preparing to counterattack and wanted to make a long pass when he saw a figure with long blonde hair appearing in front of him, stretching out his foot to break his ball.Fortunately, his instinct allowed him to dodge, but he was entangled by Gago, unable to pass the ball, so he had to pass the ball to Beckham who came to meet him.

However, at the time of this delay, Marcelo had returned to his position, and the defense line had begun to tidy up, with no loopholes to exploit.

"Yes, the ability to read the game is also very strong."

After seeing this scene, Capello was very satisfied and kept recording in his notebook, and began to arrange another formation.
