Chapter 207

After receiving the "Golden Boy Award" trophy in Turin, Gago delivered his speech with a smile to the media present.

"Thank you for choosing me as the number one. This award will give me great motivation for the rest of the season."

After speaking, Gago kissed the trophy in front of the media.

Then he talked with Mancini who had been waiting for an hour that night. After that, Galliani came one hour after Mancini left with a tacit understanding.

After talking with these two people separately, Gago boarded the latest plane and returned to Madrid with his two older sisters.

Although it was already the second day since he returned to Madrid, some powerful media blocked him on the spot at the airport for his new class "European Youth Footballer".

"Mr. Fernando, could you please give your acceptance speech?"

Facing a group of reporters with red-eyed eyes at the airport, Jia Ge felt that it was a bit unreasonable for him not to say something, so he braced his tired body and said something into the microphone that was plugged in.

"This is the first individual award I have received at Real Madrid, but it will definitely not be the last."

After saying those words, with the help of the airport security who came over, Jia Ge got into Xia Weier's car parked at the airport and went home to rest.

In the car, he also called Schuster. After all, he was his head coach, and he always had to talk to him after returning to the team.

After receiving Gago's call, Schuster first congratulated him on winning the "Golden Boy Award", and then granted him a two-day vacation without waiting for Gago to speak.

"So understanding!"

After hanging up the phone, Gago sat in the back parking space and said with a sigh, if it was Capello, he would definitely not be so polite.

"That's because the team can't do without you now, and he wouldn't be so polite with someone else."

Linaya said angrily, recently, his younger brother averaged two games a week, and every time he came home he looked tired, which made her, a soft-hearted sister, feel distressed.

"So I can't relax myself even more. Only stronger strength can guarantee this kind of treatment. After receiving this award, the media will pay more attention to me. I'm afraid I have to pay attention not to waste even a meal now." , or someone with a heart will attack me with these trivial things."

After Gago finished speaking, everyone in the car fell silent. This is the price of fame.

After returning home, he greeted his mother, Alicia, who had just woken up, and had breakfast. Gago, Xia Weier, and Linaya all went back to their rooms to catch up on sleep.Sleeping on a plane is not a good time.

This sleep went straight to the morning of the next day, one can imagine how much fatigue has accumulated recently.It was rare to ask for leave with Schuster, and Gago didn't waste it in playing. He was very serious about maintaining his daily exercise at home, and he was still studying the metaphysics of "the way of sincerity".

With the training of his own strength and the study of "the way of sincerity", Gago felt that his performance on the court was getting better and better.His super anticipation ability has been fully utilized by him and integrated into his playing style, which has improved a lot in organizing offense and anticipating defense.

And after the "super god state" when he played against Valencia, Gago felt that his offensive ability had risen again.As soon as the fatigue of the body recovers, he will surprise the opponent who thought he could restrain him.

The two-day vacation passed quickly under the condition of concentration.

After Gago returned to the club for training, all the players smiled and congratulated him for winning the "Golden Boy Award".

"Treatment, you must treat. If you don't please, I'm sorry for your trophy."

Student Xiao Ma was entrusted by many teammates, so he confidently asked Gago to invite all his teammates to have a good meal after today's training.

"No problem, but the day after tomorrow is the match against Mejia, no drinking is allowed, otherwise the coach can't get around me."

Gago didn't refuse, anyway, it was a happy thing, and with his current salary, such a meal is really nothing.

"OK!"

Fourteenth Master and the others readily agreed.

……

After the training, a group of people came to a roasted whole lamb restaurant under Higuain's suggestion, and they would prepare one before talking.The first team of more than [-] people booked this restaurant, and then began to order food regardless of the price.Fortunately, they hadn't forgotten that there was still training the next day, and it ended before twelve o'clock with a little restraint.

When Gago paid, the corners of his eyes twisted slightly, but in the end he still swiped the card with a graceful smile.

The club is still discussing a celebration for Gago, but since the next two games are away games, it will be postponed until the No.14 round of the league against Racing Santander at home.

Although Gago won the Golden Boy Award, Real Madrid did not win the first game after the national team match day.

When he challenged Mejia in the away game, Schuster, who had learned his lesson, let most of the main players rest on the bench.With the intention of giving up this league game, the players should recover first.Even Gago, who had just won the Golden Boy Award, was aggressively pushed on the bench by him.

In the end, Real Madrid was tied in the away game by the defending Meggia.

However, due to the recent poor performance of other strong teams, Real Madrid is still at the top of the league.

After this round of the league, the Real Madrid team boarded a plane to Germany to challenge Werder Bremen away.The current situation in Group C is that Real Madrid ranks first with 10 points from three wins and one draw, while Olympiacos ranks second.Werder Bremen only defeated Lazio in the last round and ranked third with 3 points.Their only hope of qualifying is to win the next two rounds and ensure that Olympiacos does not win any of the next two games.

In a way, this Bundesliga powerhouse has already been eliminated, but they will definitely not give up the last hope.

And Real Madrid's 10 points are already guaranteed to qualify, the difference is whether it is first or second.Although for the giants of Real Madrid, the first is in line with their status, but under the greater interests, there are still a few games that can be given up occasionally.

After being criticized by the media for not knowing how to rotate, Schuster directly played the big one this time.In this round of the Champions League group stage, most of the players who played away against Werder Bremen were substitutes. The German decided to let the main players have a complete rest.

But this incomplete lineup made Real Madrid almost win a victory.Robinho scored a goal in the opening 10 minutes after receiving a direct pass from Marcelo, and Higuain scored the second goal for the team with a volley from the small box before the end of the first half.

But in the second half, Werder Bremen, who had already reached a dead end, showed the tenacity of the Bundesliga team. Rosenberg, Sanogo, and Hund scored consecutive goals to help Werder Bremen reverse and win.

After Real Madrid lacked Pepe, the defense became vulnerable again.At this time, the fans realized that this central defender who has not proved himself in the five major leagues is so good.Unknowingly, Real Madrid's defense can no longer lack him.

Fortunately, at this time, news came out from Real Madrid's official website that the Portuguese-Brazilian had already started restorative training.Should be able to come back in the next game.

This news made Schuster feel relieved. The performance of Metzelder, whom he insisted on introducing this season, can only be said to be so-so. .

On the other side, Olympiacos defeated Lazio 2:1 in the away game, and joined hands with Real Madrid to qualify from Group C ahead of schedule.

Werder Bremen, who defeated Real Madrid in a reversal, and Lazio, who only won one victory, were eliminated. The rest is to see who of them can participate in the Europa League.

The last round of the group stage is still a bit meaningful for Real Madrid, although Lazio can't beat the full-blown Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.However, Real Madrid still attaches great importance to the first position in the group. After all, this is to avoid encountering too strong opponents in the knockout rounds and to retain more physical strength.

After returning from Germany, Real Madrid ushered in the No.14 opponent of the league, Racing Santander, three days later.

There was a small celebration at the Bernabeu before the game started.Gago stood on a small stand holding the "Golden Boy Award" trophy, and said a few words to the fans. After all, this is the first Golden Boy Award in Real Madrid's history.Very memorable.

"I am very happy to receive this award, but what I like more is victory. In Real Madrid, I can win the award. I hope to get more awards as a Real Madrid player!"

After Gago finished speaking, the entire Bernabéu cheered like a tsunami, and the whole sky seemed to be infected by these sound waves, and the sky was extraordinarily clear.

And after Gago finished speaking, a new pure white flag appeared in the south stand of the Bernabeu, this time it was no longer Redondo's back.It was the shooting posture that Gago made when he scored a penalty kick last time, with one eye narrowed and the corner of his mouth slightly raised.And also revealed the number 8 behind him, showing that it belongs to him.

"At this moment, the applause of the entire Bernabeu belongs to Fernando Gago!"

No more mixing anything, some are just pure cheers for Gago.

In this game, Gago did not disappoint the coming fans. Facing Racing Santander, which has performed well recently, he used a precise through ball to help Raul face the goalkeeper and open the scoring in the opening 4 minutes.

Before the end of the first half, Gago, who had had enough rest recently, broke through two players in a row from the center and then kicked and shot. Sanchez, who was forced to return to the defense, scored an own goal and hit the ball into his own goal.

In the No.70 minute of the second half, Gago, who had worked hard for a long time, finally scored a goal. A free kick about 21 meters away from the goal was directly blasted into the goal by him in good condition.

Relying on Gago's excellent performance and Schuster's "decisive" rotation policy, Real Madrid easily won Racing Santander 3:0 at home.Continue to maintain their top position in the league.
