Chapter 205 "I will stay at Real Madrid until I retire..."

(Last week's summary, [-] favorites were lost, but subscriptions increased a bit. Sure enough, all the ones left were hardcore.)
Gago's outstanding performance has attracted the attention of many wealthy coaches, and only coaches of their level can express interest in Gago.

Among them, the most urgent performance is Ferguson of Manchester United. After Real Madrid slaughtered Valencia, the Premier League staged a double red meeting between Arsenal and Manchester United.In the end, Manchester United was tied 2:2 by Arsenal under the dominant situation. In this game, Cesc Fabregas shined in the audience, leading Arsenal's midfield to completely control the situation.

Manchester United's lineup is undoubtedly strong, and Ferguson has worked hard for four years and finally created a Red Devils that is not inferior to the golden generation.However, the midfield skills of the Premier League teams are generally insufficient, so Manchester United will be tied by Arsenal with control of the ball during the double red meeting.

Since Keane's departure, Manchester United fans have been looking for his successor.But Keane's status is too high. After every midfielder who comes to Manchester United has this reference, it seems so imperfect.The critical eyes of the fans made them observe the players in the midfielder position under the microscope. Carrick, including Hargreaves, who was bought from Bayern this year, did not satisfy them very much.

And Ferguson, who is clearly aware of the team's shortcomings, naturally covets Gago, who can control the overall situation, has excellent skills, and has a first-class offensive and defensive midfielder.After watching Gago lead Real Madrid to slaughter Valencia's game, Ferguson revealed his tone when he was interviewed by the media after being tied by Arsenal.

"Gago is a very talented player. He should come to the Premier League, the world's number one league. I think his ability is more than enough to be the core of my team."

Although Ferguson only said such a sentence, it was immediately spread all over the world under the publicity of interested reporters.

Some tabloid reporters even determined that Ferguson would bring the Argentine prince to Old Trafford during the winter transfer.And with him as the core, form a combination that surpasses the golden midfielder.

Of course, some major newspapers were very cautious and only reported the language of Ferguson's interest in Gago, and did not directly say that Gago would come to Manchester United unscrupulously.

After all, anyone with a normal brain circuit knows that this is impossible. Gago is the core of Real Madrid, and his status in the eyes of fans is also high, second only to captain Raul.And I heard that Real Madrid executives are preparing a new contract for the Argentine prince in the winter. In football, Real Madrid's status is higher than Manchester United in a sense.Why did Gago leave Real Madrid and come to Manchester United in this strange environment.

And now the core of Manchester United is Cristiano Ronaldo, what will he think after Gago comes.With the arrogant personalities of these two people, it is definitely impossible to be inferior to others. By then, the golden midfielder will not be completed, but the internal strife will start first.

The rest of the Premier League's top three are alerted to Ferguson's sudden desire to buy Gago. Now Manchester United is strong enough to take the top spot in the league and maintain an unbeaten record since the season.It would be fine if they got Gag again. The only shortcoming of Manchester United now is the waist. Hargreaves, who has been chasing for several years, has not performed half of his performance at Bayern.Carrick is not as comprehensive as it will be in the future, at least in terms of offense, it cannot be compared with the Argentine prince.

Because of Ferguson's words, Premier League fans turned their attention to Madrid.If the media stirs up a problem, there will naturally be peers to verify the accuracy of the news.

When he was a guest at the Pizjuan Stadium in midweek to challenge Sevilla, in a routine interview before the game, Gago met reporters and asked this question.

"I will stay at Real Madrid until I retire, this is my lifelong wish!"

Gago just said this sentence, but the fans of Real Madrid applauded loudly, and his status in the eyes of the fans rose again, and even reached the height of Raul.

Although Gago's words before the game made all the fans happy, the result of the game was not as the fans expected.

At the Pizjuan Stadium, Real Madrid ushered in the second defeat of the season.In the case of an away goal, it was reversed by Sevilla in the second half with two consecutive goals.

In the 10 minutes of the first half, Gago and Robinho teamed up to smash into the wall and broke through Sevilla's defense. Raul inserted a header in the penalty area and scored for the team to open the scoring.

In the first half, Real Madrid still played with Sevilla, but after the intermission, the running of Real Madrid's players dropped a level in vain.Especially after No. 70 minutes, the Real Madrid players were too tired to run.National team matches, double matches a week, the consequences of the intensive schedule finally appeared in this game.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted!

Schuster began to pay for the state he forced to stimulate the players after the national team game.On the other hand, Juande, in order to prepare for this focus battle, played as a full substitute in the last round of the game.Finally, at home today, they reported their revenge for the pre-season Super Bowl.

Real Madrid collapsed in the last 10 minutes, and the fuse was Pepe, who was beyond everyone's expectations.

This central defender who was not worth 3000 million euros before the season collided with Kanoute in a defense and fell to the ground.Schuster replaced him with Metzelder, and then, Keita and Fabiano scored twice in 5 minutes to help the team finally reverse.

What made Schuster even more troublesome was that Ramos fouled Capel at the last moment of the game and was sent off with two yellow cards. Casillas was dissatisfied with the penalty and also got a yellow card.

In short, at the end of the game, the mentality of the Real Madrid players was all out of balance. The fatigue of the recent transition and the impact of the loss made the players all silent after the game.

Pepe, the living creature in the locker room, was sent to a nearby hospital. It seemed that the injury was not serious, and Xiao Ma, who had no cooperation from Master Pepe, remained silent in the dull atmosphere.

In the post-match press conference, Facing the scrambling questions from the reporters, Schuster emphasized that the recent games have been intensive and the players feel tired. As long as they get through this period, Real Madrid will return to the right path again. superior.

"How long will this be?"

Faced with the "Daily Sports Daily" questioning, Schuster left the press conference with a cold face, leaving Juande with a smug face to continue to accept reporters' interviews.

The next day, the news that Real Madrid lost again made the whole La Liga boil. The last round had just bloodbathed Valencia with an invincible posture, but this round stumbled in Pizjuan.If you don't know how to be merciful, you will lose your character.

Real Madrid fans remained silent about their second defeat of the season.But there is still some gratifying news. At least Gago stated before the game that he hopes to retire in Real Madrid. They don't have to worry about the news that Manchester United wants to buy Gago from the English media.

Moreover, Real Madrid only lost a game, and it is not a big deal. The fans believe that this is just a coincidence.Just like Real Madrid lost to the Spaniard, the next Blancos will use powerful attacking firepower to let the rumormongers know that the loss was just an accident.

However, the situation was not as expected by the fans. In the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, when Real Madrid went away to challenge Olympiacos, which he had bloodbathed at home in the last round, they got a dull draw.

Olympiacos, who was frightened by Real Madrid, posed a world-wide problem at home - the iron barrel formation.In this game, Real Madrid's players obviously haven't recovered from fatigue. The breakthroughs and shots of several stars were weak, and they were eventually tied 0:0 by Olympiacos as they wished.

One loss and one draw, it would be nothing to put it on other teams, but after putting the five words "Real Madrid" in front, it would be big news.The reporters were clever enough to show off their writing, and the headline was "Real Madrid, two games in a row!"

The headline successfully captured the attention of fans, and the paper's sales rose again by a percentage point.

For a giant like Real Madrid, it is already surprising that they did not win two games.As a result, Schuster, who has been going smoothly since the beginning of the season, felt the pain of the rich coach for the first time.All the pundit media fans jumped out at him and accused him of not understanding rotation.

From the beginning of the season to the present, as long as Gago is not injured or ill, he is basically the unstoppable starting force.Only before the national team or when the next round is an important game, the Argentine prince can leave the field early and take a rest.

Real Madrid's downturn in the last two games is also related to the fact that Gago has never rested since he finished the World Cup qualifiers.Even an iron man would feel overwhelmed in the face of a three-day game, not to mention that Gago is a technical player who is not good at physical strength.

"Schuster should let Gago rest. If this continues, the Argentine prince will be exhausted by him."

Many experts have jumped out to accuse Schuster of treating Gago as a machine that will not get tired. He has been the starter since the beginning of the season and basically played 10 minutes in every game.The same player is still Guti. The Fourteenth Master is the core of the frontcourt offense, and he basically played all the games as a starter.

Faced with overwhelming accusations, Schuster had to put Gago and Guti on the bench in the No.12 round of the league against Mallorca at home and let them both rest.In order to make up for the absence of several people in this game, Schuster formed a weird formation.

The match against Sevilla proved that Metzelder is useless. This time, Schuster adopted the partners of Cannavaro and Heinze in the defense. Anyway, this is what the Argentine international played when he debuted. In terms of position, there is no problem in moving him to the middle.

Because of Ramos' suspension, Schuster let Torres, who performed well last season, replace the vacancy of Shui Ye.As for the position of left back, Marcelo was once again lucky to be the starter.

In the midfield, Baptista and Diarra partnered as double midfielders, and Sneijder and Robinho served as the wings. This time, the organization and scheduling were handed over to Sneijder, who has performed more amazingly since the beginning of the season.

On the forward line, Higuain was also fortunate to partner with captain Raul.

Basically a half-substitute lineup, Real Madrid played against the island team Mallorca at the Bernabeu.

Before the game, most people were more optimistic about Real Madrid. After all, Real Madrid is a star worth more than 8 million yuan even if it is a substitute, and none of Mallorca's players is worth more than [-] million yuan.What's more, Mallorca is now ranked No. [-] in the league, which is completely incomparable with Real Madrid, which is still at the top of the list.
