Chapter 226 Capital of the Gods
(Ask for a guaranteed monthly pass at the beginning of the month, tomorrow will be updated at three)
At this time in Rome's penalty area, the two central defenders Mex and Juan were led far away by Raul and Higuain, and the two full-backs were also restrained by Real Madrid's "Shuangluo" wings.

So, after Gago went in, he suddenly found that there was only one goalkeeper Doni in front of him.This is already a great opportunity for a one-shot.Faced with this situation, Doni could only curse secretly in his heart, and then quickly attacked.

"Dry!"

At this time, Spalletti couldn't calm down anymore, he rushed up from the coach's bench, staring at the duel between Gago and Doni with wide eyes.His original intention of substituting was not wrong in terms of tactics. Facing Gago, who seemed to be on the hook today, Perotta and De Rossi are likely to be taken down by him in the next time.Put on the "clean net worth" Aquilani, and let Perotta, who is a bit too physically exhausted, end up.

Although Aquilani's defensive ability is poor, Gago can't sprint at full speed as he just started.You must know that breaking through is also very energy-consuming, especially when Gago directly faces two first-class midfielders.If it is a player with average physical fitness like Guti, I am afraid that he can only support halftime.So in this game, Schuster let Guti sit on the bench and pushed Gago, who is more physically fit, to the frontcourt, fully squeezing every bit of his strength.

But how did Spalletti know that as long as Gago wanted to, he could use his body's potential to sprint for the entire game.But the consequences of doing so are not good, and it will take a long time to recover after the game.But today Gago is also fighting. He knows that in history, Real Madrid will stop at the top [-] in the Champions League in the next few years. That is to say, according to the sequence of events, Real Madrid should be eliminated by Rome.Naturally, Gago couldn't let this happen. As a time traveler, how could he be worthy of his status if he didn't win the Champions League.

Although I don't know how Real Madrid was eliminated by Roma, but as long as today's game is not lost, Gago has the confidence to beat Roma at home in the second round.You must know that Real Madrid's record at home this season is a complete victory. The white stadium of the Bernabéu, after experiencing boos and white handkerchiefs last season, once again began to roar and cheer for the Blancos.

As Real Madrid's performance is getting better and better, the atmosphere at home is becoming more and more frenzied. After all, it is destined to win the game at home. Why don't the fans come to watch? The more people watch, the more voices cheer Sound, to give Real Madrid players more confidence.The result of this is better results at home, forming a virtuous circle.

"So, this goal must be scored!"

Gago said to himself in his heart, but his eyes were extremely calm. Seeing Doni's attack, he lifted his ankle and made a shooting posture.Dhoni had no choice but to pounce over. Gago stopped his ankle instantly, and then flicked the ball away from Dhoni who fell down. Facing the empty goal, he lightly pushed and shot, and Mex came back to defend. , the ball crossed the goal line and hit the net.

"WCNMLGBD!"

Seeing Gago's goal, Spalletti, who had been calm for most of the game, suddenly lost his composure, and no longer considered his demeanor. He stepped on a bottle of mineral water at his feet, and the water splashed his trousers.

On the other side, Schuster immediately rushed out of the coach's bench and ran to celebrate in front of Spalletti.The German played in this game was extremely depressed. Every step and every adjustment he made was under the control of the opponent's bald man. He was counted as dead step by step, which made him feel for the first time that his coaching experience was not enough. .

But it doesn't matter, if you don't have enough experience, you can use stars to make up for it.

Schuster came to Spalletti with a sense of showing off, no matter how good your coaching ability is, I have stars, countless stars.In Real Madrid, anyone who shines can rewrite the result of the game.Little Rome dared to compete with my royal horse. It is really a fishy belly with a lineup of hundreds of millions of euros for the Blancos.

Facing Schuster who came to him to show off, Spalletti's expression has recovered. The game is not over yet, and he still has a chance.For him, he has done everything that the head coach can do, and the rest is to see how the players on the field perform.

Real Madrid has stars, and Rome is not without it. Totti is recognized as the "king" in this capital of the gods.Now he is the only hope for all fans.

But at this time, another incident disrupted Spalletti's deployment. Juan fell to the ground and was injured during a defense and had to leave the field.The Brazilian had been absent from the game for a month due to injury. Today is his comeback, but he never expected to go back to the hospital bed before he played a full game.In desperation, Spalletti replaced him with Ferrari.

At the same time, Schuster also started to make substitutions. Although the German was overwhelmed by the Italian in terms of coaching level in this game.But at this time, Schuster's thinking is still very clear. Now that Real Madrid is leading by one goal, and the time is less than 10 minutes, as long as they can keep this score, Real Madrid will basically enter the quarter-finals with half a foot.

Baptista replaced Gago who passed and shot in this game. The Real Madrid command tower did not disappoint the fans in today's game. Under the opponent's strict defense, they still relied on their own personal ability to score a goal and assist One goal, as long as the score is like this until the end of the game, the best player can hardly escape the Argentine prince's palm.

Gago saw the sign for substitutions off the court, and although he was a bit reluctant, he still walked off the court with a smile.Of course, the trick of walking slowly to consume time is self-taught. When the Roma players were about to explode, Gago finally walked off the field.First, he hugged Baptista and then waved to the Real Madrid fans.

For Gago, the Meilingers naturally responded positively, and they welcomed the end of the Argentine prince with the warmest applause.

Gago took the towel that Guti handed him, said thank you, then picked up a bottle of water and drank it.After sitting down, he realized that his physical energy was exhausted to the extreme. If he continued to fight, his vitality would be depleted.

"Huh, the fight was too intense, I didn't notice this!"

Wiping the sweat off his forehead and feeling the fatigue of his body, Gago first thanked Schuster in his heart, and then looked at the other head coach.

Spalletti has been standing on the sidelines since Gago scored, using this action to boost the morale of the players.

"What a good coach, it's a pity that he met me!"

Gago looked at the situation on the field and shook his head. It is not an easy task to break through the goal of Real Madrid, which is defending with all their might.The most luxurious defense in Europe is not blown out. Although Pepe was injured and unable to play in this game, but relying on Diarra and Baptista's two muscular sticks to protect the front of the penalty area, Real Madrid's defense has suffered. The pressure is not great.What's more, it is Iker Casillas who stands in front of the Los Blancos goal.

At the last moment of the game, Roma's attack almost scored a goal, but Casillas saved two consecutive must-goals, which greatly boosted Real Madrid's morale.In stoppage time, Comforter shamelessly used two substitutions.Sneijder and Drenthe replaced Robben and Robinho. Sneijder had no problem playing as an engineer, and Drenthe was a full-back, which instantly killed Roma's last hope of counterattack.

"The game is over, congratulations to Real Madrid for their victory in the away game!"

"Relying on Gago's one pass and one shot, Real Madrid won a difficult victory at the Olympic Stadium. The best player in the game is of course the Argentine. Seeing his performance this year, Real Madrid may reach the Champions League final again. Of course, Roma still has a chance, as long as they beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu in the second leg next month. Although it is difficult, it is not impossible!"

After the game, Raul and Totti talked very friendly, the friendship of two old princes.These are the two most similar people in European football. Both have become famous since childhood, played for a team, became the captain, and are the princes in the hearts of all fans.Everyone thought that they would retire at the club, and then the club would seal up the jerseys they wore for posterity.

Seeing the captain and Totti together, Gago stopped thinking about exchanging jerseys, and went straight back to the locker room with Guti.After washing up, I packed up my things and prepared to leave.Although he was the best player in this game, Comforter brought Raul to the post-match press conference.

Raul scored the first goal in today's game, and he is the captain of the team. He has a good relationship with Totti, which will help Real Madrid and Roma not conflict.

After the press conference, the Real Madrid players returned to the hotel where they were staying, and each had a rest for the night. Since the next round of the league is five days later, Schuster kindly gave the players a half-day rest. Fake.Before the afternoon flight, the players are free to play in Rome, the capital of the gods.

In the city of Rome, there are countless legendary monuments, and the essence of the most elite cultural buildings in Europe is in this city.

"Fair, are you going to play there?"

The next day, Higuain and Ramos got up early in the morning, ready to take a good look at the city.

"The Vatican!"

In the evening, Gago had already thought about where he would spend the day today. This is a small country in the world and a holy place for the entire Catholic Church.

"Be careful, let's go now!"

Guti came in, and immediately dragged Gago up who was still about to lie in bed.

"Hey, I haven't got my clothes on yet, you all get the hell out of here!"

……

After a while of confusion, Gago and his group finally packed up and headed to the most famous building in the Vatican... St. Peter's Basilica!
This epic church, which lasted 200 years and was completed by five generations of architects, shocked Gago. Raphael and Michelangelo were also designers of this building. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, this building The building was not built exactly according to the original drawings, resulting in a slight flaw!
