Chapter 210 Suppress Gago?

Rijkaard formed a 3-4-3 formation, Puyol, Milito, and Abidal served as the three central defenders. In the midfield, the Mexican national team captain Marquez and Yaya Toure partnered with double midfielders. Deco Back to the starting lineup and Harvey as a double forward.The trident in the frontcourt is Ronaldinho, Eto'o and Iniesta.Henry, who has performed well recently, sat on the bench.

As soon as this formation came out, countless expert media jumped out, saying that they could not understand Rijkaard's formation.Last season, Barcelona, ​​which was at its peak, adopted a 3-4-3 formation at home and was almost defeated by the semi-disabled Real Madrid. If it weren't for the hat-trick of the little dancer, I am afraid that Real Madrid would be able to win the first place in the Nou Camp in four years. wins.

Now Rijkaard is once again self-defeating, and has discharged a 3-4-3 formation that is obviously not suitable for Barcelona's tradition.Facing Real Madrid at its peak is simply asking for a dead end.

Even pro-Barcelona media celebrities expressed incomprehension, but just when they were about to criticize, Cruyff stood up and supported Rijkaard with a clear banner.

"Frank's achievements in the first two years have proved that he is an excellent head coach. We should have more patience with him and believe that he can bring good changes to the team. To deal with Real Madrid's excellent midfield control ability Teams, they have to press them from midfield as well."

Cruyff, the arrogance of a generation, came out to speak, and Rijkaard was finally able to arrange his formation.As Cruyff said, the strongest part of Real Madrid is in the midfield. The outstanding performance of the Argentine prince this season has completely inspired Real Madrid's midfield.

To deal with weaker teams, Guti and Gago are two super passers who can let forwards score with a little bit of flaws, which is the guarantee for Real Madrid to take all three points against weak teams this season.When facing a strong team, Diarra and Gago's defensive style of two midfielders, one hard and one soft, can perfectly protect the front of the team's penalty area and block most of the opponent's attacks.

Robinho and Arjen Robben's personal abilities can change the situation of the game in an instant. If it weren't for Arjen Robben's glass physique, which would stop him every time, Real Madrid might be able to achieve even better results. .

Real Madrid's midfield, whether attacking or defending, can form an excellent lineup.However, these two lineups have one thing in common, that is, Gago must play, and the Argentine prince is the hub to balance the team's offensive and defensive rhythm.The rapidly changing situation on the field is under the control of his genius, allowing Real Madrid to respond in advance every time, so Schuster will let Gago serve as the starter as long as he is healthy.Real Madrid can do without Guti now, but not without Gago.

In this game, due to the strong offensive firepower of Barcelona, ​​Schuster formed a relatively conservative lineup at the Nou Camp, but he played Baptista to take on the task of Gago's defense in the past.Giving the Argentine prince the right to attack freely in the frontcourt, he is ready to fully develop Gago's offensive ability.

After seeing Real Madrid's starting list, Rijkaard is ready to suppress Real Madrid's attack from the midfield.The first is to restrain Gago, the mortal enemy's midfield core.So far in the league, Gago has contributed a total of twelve goals and nine assists for Real Madrid. It can be said that more than one-third of Real Madrid's total goals are created by him.

After exercising his physical strength, Gago has been immune to fouls from some opponents in La Liga.And the left foot was gradually trained to [-]% of the right foot under the tactics of the opponent's coach during the game.At present, Gago's only weakness is probably that his physical fitness has not yet reached the level of superman. Every time the national team comes back from a game day, he will be sluggish for a few games, and the four games that Real Madrid failed to win in the league are all in this time period.This shows the importance of Gago to Real Madrid now.

Rijkaard had to make key arrangements for this genius who was dubbed the "No. [-] midfielder in La Liga" by many media.First of all, the double defensive midfielders of Marquez and Yaya Toure are specially used to deal with him, and Deco's position is relatively low. At critical moments, Barcelona can change to three defensive midfielders at any time to restrain Gago's performance. .

After Schuster arranged the tactics of the game in the locker room, he left the locker room first, leaving the last time for the players to adjust their psychology.

"Fell, do you think I can score in this game?"

As soon as the head coach left, Ramos shyly approached Gago, his wide-open eyes full of hope.It seems that Master Shui has not forgotten the feeling of scoring in the World War last season, and this time he used such an obvious hint to let Gago assist him to score another goal.

"I think you can, really!"

Naturally, Gago would not let his good friend down. He patted his shoulder with his right hand and said encouragingly.After Master Shui heard this, his blood surged instantly, screaming and preparing to rush out to the competition.Can't wait to go and score again.

"Fair, what about me?"

After Gago finished speaking, Robinho also cheekily came over to ask for a favor.

"Yes, you can too, sincerely!"

Gago faced the teammates who came over to ask him with "encouragement" on their faces, adding fuel to their already high mood.Most of the Real Madrid players in this group are young people, and their morale is improving quickly. Although veteran players like Raul and Van Nistelrooy have not been "bewitched" by Gago, their enthusiasm for this game is still somewhat strong. .

After "communicating" with his good friends in the team one by one, Jiago secretly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. It's really uncomfortable to lie, and the condemnation in his heart made him feel extremely guilty.

"Just use the goal to clear my guilt."

Gago shamelessly confirmed the fact that he would score in his heart.

"Okay, let's go!"

At this time, captain Raul stood up and greeted his teammates onto the court.

At the same time, Barcelona's players also came out under the leadership of Puyol, and the two sides met in the aisle.Although the two clubs are mortal enemies, the friendship between the players will not change because of these.

Gago and Heinze greeted their teammate Millito in the national team. After Millito came to Barcelona this season, he immediately filled the vacancy of the central defender and squeezed Thuram with his own strength. to the bench.Now that there are more and more Argentine players in La Liga, the relationship between these top international players is naturally getting closer.

"It's a pity that Leo is injured, otherwise, this game would be more interesting!"

Gago said to Millito with a bit of regret, for his words, the players on both sides showed a look of agreement on their faces.

Master Pepe talked a few words with Deco, the predecessor of the Portuguese national team. There are endless topics to talk about about the two players' career development trajectories and the players they know.

Similarly, the Spanish national team players in the two teams also began to exchange cautious greetings. Fortunately, Mourinho is not in power yet, otherwise, if he saw this scene, the Spanish national players in the team would not be accepted. He scolded bloody head.

At this time, the referee came over to remind the players that they could enter the field.

The referee of this game is Heigl, who is known for his harsh whistleblowing.It seems that the Spanish Football Association does not want to have an accident in such an important game. They want to have a safe and secure Christmas.

When the players of the two teams stepped onto the pitch, a tsunami of cheers instantly enveloped the vast Camp Nou. The entire stadium was full for this game, and the stadium was close to 10 people, densely packed in the stands All are people.Such a shocking scene can only be seen in the World War of the Century, known as the "World's No. [-] Derby".

After Gago stepped onto the court, he lowered his body and touched the lawn. He felt pretty good. Both sides are skilled teams. It seems that Barcelona did not adopt the practice of losing both sides.

"Friends from the audience, welcome to watch the focus match of the 2007th round of the 08/17 Spanish Football League. Real Madrid, the leader of the list, challenged the second-placed Barcelona away. Let me give you a detailed introduction to the current form of the league..."

“在此前的231场世纪对决中，巴萨稍占上风，取得94胜50平87负。但在其中的154场联赛中，皇马66胜30平58负战绩更佳。双方在诺坎普的77次联赛交手中，巴萨44胜16平17负明显占优。皇马上次作客取胜还是2003年12月，巴塞罗那已经在联赛中主场34场不败，这是第35场，他们能够再度创造历史吗？”

"From a psychological point of view, the two teams are not inferior. Barcelona relies on the unbeaten record of 34 home games in the league and nearly four years at Camp Nou against Real Madrid. The away team's Real Madrid is because of the recent four consecutive victories. The game has reached its peak, and both sides stepped onto the court with the determination to win."

At this time, the camera on the scene was aimed at the stands. Messi, who was absent due to injury, sat in a suit and leather shoes among the fans, looking after the team.

In the second shot, the heads of the two clubs, Calderon and Laporta, stood and smiled at each other happily, as if they were talking about something happy.

And then, the camera turned to the court in an instant, because the referee Heigl blew the whistle to start the game.

Raul picked a side to win, and Barcelona kicked off first.

"Viewers and friends of CCTV, it is now 12:24 am on December 02th, BJ time. You are welcome to watch the focus of this round of La Liga. I am He Wei..."

At this moment, all the Barcelona fans in the audience exclaimed, and cold sweat broke out from behind.

Gago didn't press too high at the beginning. Facing the kick-off Barcelona, ​​he was very active in the past to defend.In order to stabilize, Harvey passed the ball back to Deco, but Gago used his explosive power to break the ball.Then he dribbled the ball directly across halftime and headed towards the hinterland of Barcelona.

Rijkaard exhorted before the game not to let Gago get the ball easily, but the players made mistakes at the beginning of the game.

Deco cursed secretly, and immediately pushed forward, and another midfielder, Yaya Toure, also came from the other side to block Gago's advancing route.

But Gago didn't intend to go all the way through the ball and go straight to Huanglong. He saw that Valdez was standing a little closer to the right.While running, Gago swung his calf directly and used the outside instep of his left foot to hit the underside of the ball.

Yaya Toure's position was a step slower, and the ball was affected by the wind and flew erratically towards the goal.

Valdez jumped up as hard as he could, but still missed the ball, but Gago didn't score either.

At the last moment, it was not suppressed, and it floated up, hitting the junction of the beam and the column.

The "bang" sound scared the fans behind the goal out of their wits.
