Chapter 240 The most exciting match of this year's Champions League

Just when Schuster was struggling, the seasoned Ferguson saw the key.Immediately with a big wave of his hand, substitutions, Anderson off, Hargreaves on, using a new force to squeeze out the last bit of Gago's physical energy.

At this time, Gago finally felt the power of the world's top coaches. After catching your weaknesses, he will keep hitting them, and he will never let you have a breathing space.

Especially in the face of a giant like Manchester United whose strength is comparable to his own team, Gago can no longer rely on the strength of his teammates to overwhelm others.

It is not the first time that Hargreaves has faced Gago. When he was still at Bayern last season, he fought two rounds with the Argentine prince who had just landed in Europe in the last sixteen of the Champions League.At that time, this "Redondo II", who had not fully integrated into Real Madrid, was already able to use the aura of genius to rub the soles of his playing feet.In the end, the Bundesliga class bully was left outside the quarter-finals, which led to a big change of blood for Bayern in the summer, and he also left the place where he became famous since he was a child for various reasons.

After playing today, Hargreaves found that the person who made him completely defenseless last year was so weak at this time.

Facing Park Ji-sung's defense, Gago chose to turn around to protect the ball, but Hargreaves took the opportunity to step up and steal the ball.

However, Gago, who had been able to protect the ball at full value in the past, was actually cut off.

"Oops!"

At this time, all the Real Madrid fans present screamed in their hearts, and Schuster stood up nervously.It was Gago's conceded goal that allowed Manchester United to score a goal with a long pass.At this time, Gago was intercepted again, and the fans couldn't help worrying that Manchester United would score another goal.

Jia Ge also knew that he made a mistake again. Due to the exhaustion of physical energy, the movements that he could do easily in the past began to deform.Originally, when Hargreaves came to steal the ball, Gago had expected it, wanted to pull the ball back, and then took advantage of the situation to pass between the two.But the body slowed down uncontrollably, and the consequences of continuous combat and insufficient rest were finally manifested.You must know that in the match against Sevilla three days ago, Schuster did not replace him until the final moment of the victory.

After the start of the Champions League knockout round, all the teams that have not yet been eliminated have experienced a physical crisis.Especially those main cores without a substitute, Gago is an example.He's not Iron Man, and if he's given a few years to develop his body, there's absolutely no such problem.But after all, he has only traveled for a year, and in order to lay a solid foundation, he did not adopt those quick training methods.

After seeing Hargreaves steal the ball, Ronaldo and Rooney began to rush towards Real Madrid's defense. Gago gritted his teeth, summoned up his strength, and used a flying tackle that didn't suit his playing style.

"Oh, Gago's timely shovel prevented a counterattack from Manchester United, but this action is estimated to incur a yellow card for him. However, Gago himself is a defensive midfielder who rarely gets cards. Just pay attention to it in the next time. There should be no problem."

The commentator of Sky TV said so in an uncertain tone.

After the referee Fandel came over, he was not polite, and directly showed Gago a yellow card.However, Guti still has a lot of opinions on this penalty. He thinks that Gago tackled the ball first, which is a very clean action and should not be awarded.

But Van der did not change his penalty, and Gago stood up without any action of defense.Instead, he quickly walked to the sidelines, shook his head to Schuster who was about to make a substitution, and then the two talked for a while, and finally Gago returned to the court.

"In the next time, run more. I don't have much physical strength. I can only rely on you to run more to meet me. I will tell you how to move, remember to follow your instincts."

Gago said something to his teammates on the field. Of course, it was Schuster's meaning in name.Robben has dropped back into the midfield, and Marcelo has also come up and regarded himself as a full-back.

In an instant, Real Madrid's formation changed. In such a tired state, they could only rely on the most familiar running to play.

The 4-4-2 formation has been from the Capello period to the present. Although no one thinks this is the tradition of Real Madrid, it is at least the traditional formation of Real Madrid in the past two years.

In the next half an hour, the two sides cannot play blindly. They must play to control the ball and strive for success while accumulating physical fitness.

As a result, the competition in the midfield became more and more fierce. After Marcelo came up, Robben returned to the right again, and the two involved running on both wings to deliver shells to Raul and Ruud van Nistelrooy in the frontcourt.And Gago is at ease in the backcourt to dispatch the ball, Guti is not far in front of Gago, ready to respond when he is double-teamed.

In this way, in terms of midfield, Real Madrid began to have control, unlike just now, it was completely dominated by Manchester United.However, in terms of numbers and movement, Manchester United still has the advantage, although the Real Madrid midfielder headed by Gago can use his excellent skills to constantly mobilize the opponent.But Manchester United's players are really good at running. The unique physical fitness of Premier League players and their long-term experience in third-line combat allowed Manchester United to take the initiative in the midfield again in just a short while.

As a last resort, Raul also began to retreat to the midfield, playing the position of the midfielder.This time, both sides have five midfielders, and the competition for this area has become more intense.

Under such circumstances, Real Madrid's players gradually began to feel more comfortable, and they clearly knew where to go next.As long as they reach the gap, the ball will come to their feet, and then send the ball to the next gap according to the instinct of the body before the opposing player comes over, and their own players will definitely appear there.

"This is……"

Schuster on the sidelines originally regretted that he was not firm. If he replaced Gago and insisted on playing a defensive counterattack, the team might not be behind. Anyway, it is an away game, even if it is one goal behind, it is not a big deal.But Gago said he had a solution, and with a tentative attitude, the Germans agreed.

But when the team was gradually passive, Schuster couldn't help it anymore. He asked Diarra and Baptista on the bench to warm up and prepare to defend the score.

But just when he was about to make a substitution, Real Madrid had already come to their senses. Under Gago's dispatch, they gradually matched Manchester United in the midfield. After a few minutes, Manchester United actually started to play in the midfield. The field is lost.

On the court, Real Madrid's running position is as perfect as a sophisticated computer. They can accurately send the ball one second before the opponent completes the encirclement of the net, and where the ball lands, it will definitely A player in a white jersey catches the ball and passes it out again.

The Real Madrid players on the field seem to have the same brain and can clearly know the next move of their teammates.And the one who completed this masterpiece was naturally Gago, the midfield commander of the Blancos. At this moment, he fell into that "super god state" again.

Control other players on the field like a puppeteer!
"That's right, it's the state of Real Madrid who slaughtered Valencia with six goals!"

Schuster stared at this scene with wide eyes on the sidelines, with a look of surprise in his eyes, and quickly canceled his substitution action.

On the other side, Ferguson, decades of experience made him feel bad at this moment, but he didn't know which step made a mistake. It was clear that Real Madrid had been suppressed by his team at the last moment, but in After Gago tackled the ball, it was as if he had taken a powerful pill, and all of them were revived with full blood and full state.

Gago once again felt the feeling of controlling everything on the field, long pass, short pass, due to lack of physical fitness, he only used these two movements, but he played the team's strength perfectly.

Every player was mobilized by him to attack Manchester United's goal, and the Manchester United players obviously did not expect that their opponents who were already in desperation actually had this hole card.

After Gago entered the "super god state", Manchester United's goal was almost lost several times, Raul's volley from the small penalty area, Ruud van Nistelrooy's goal in front of the goal, and even Robben had a single-handed chance.But Van der Sar's condition is very good today, coupled with Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic constantly filling each other's positions, they narrowly protected the goal.

But after withstanding Real Madrid's attack for 10 minutes, Manchester United's goal was still blasted away by Real Madrid.This is a very tacit cooperation. From Gago to Guti and then to Robben, the three cooperated tacitly to send the ball from the backcourt to the middle and then to the side. Finally, Robben's kick was sent diagonally into the penalty area. Raul made a tacit omission, and Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was at the top, directly kicked the incoming ball.

The ball blasted directly into the upper corner of the goal under Ruud van Nistelrooy's violent volley. Van der Sar only had time to blink when facing the ball from his friend, and then felt the whistling of the ball flying across his cheek.

2: 2!

Real Madrid equalized the score, but this is just the beginning, the game is now, all the players have survived the most difficult moment.Physical fitness has broken through a certain limit, everyone feels that they can run, including Gago is no exception.

And when Gago felt that his physical fitness had passed the bottleneck, Manchester United's goal was once again declared lost.

In the same position as Ronaldo, Gago dribbled the ball forward to throw off the two defenders, Park Ji-sung and Hargreaves, and then suddenly kicked out a world wave from outside the penalty area.

Just when Van der Sar was depressed because Ruud van Nistelrooy scored the goal, this kick of fallen leaves like a flying fairy fell into his eyes.When he jumped up, he fell sharply and blasted over his fingers into the upper left corner of the goal.

"The goal was scored, Gago's world wave, he made up for the mistake of conceding the ball and allowing Manchester United to counterattack and score a goal. 3 minutes, in just 3 minutes, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Gago played dazzlingly Scored two goals and helped the team overtake the score. Thrilling, this is definitely the most exciting game of this round. Real Madrid has always shown the image of a gentleman, but at this moment, it showed a rare blood. In front of Manchester United, which is best at reversing, staged a miraculous 3 minutes."

At this time, all the narrators began to go crazy, and they couldn't keep their calm in the face of this miracle.Besides, the position of commentator is not something that a quiet person can take on.

But what makes them even crazier is yet to come!
After Gago scored the reversal goal, the anger in Ferguson's heart suddenly broke out.

"This is Old Trafford! How dare you stage a reversal in front of the Red Devils, it's unforgivable!"

At this time, after all, it was No.804 minutes, and it was not far from the end, but Ferguson, who would never be counted until the last moment, replaced two people in one go.

Giggs, who was originally injured, went into battle under the order of Sir Alex Ferguson, replacing Park Ji-sung, and then Carlos Tevez replaced Carrick.

In an instant, Ferguson dispatched the strongest offensive lineup in his hands, and he was bound to prevent Real Madrid from taking away a victory at Old Trafford.

Seeing Ferguson's substitution, Schuster, who had prepared for a long time, also made corresponding countermeasures.

Diarra and Baptista went on, and Gago and Guti, the two physically weak midfielders, came down to rest.At the same time, command Marcelo to retreat and once again become a lineup of five defenders.

Seeing the sideline substitutions, Gago's body, which still had strength left, suddenly went limp. If he hadn't supported his knees with his hands in time, he might have collapsed.

Guti, who was in a slightly better condition, came to help him up, and the two walked off the stage slowly step by step.At this time, the entire stadium was full of voices cursing them, and tens of thousands of Red Devils fans scolded them for delaying time.

On the sidelines, Gago summoned up his last strength and Baptista clapped his hands together with Diarra, then couldn't help the tumbling in his stomach, and bent down to spit out the contents of his stomach.

Tired to throw up!

At this time, the Manchester United fans who saw this scene fell silent for a moment. Once, their pride did the same.For the jersey he was wearing, he ran to the field and vomited.

A few fans couldn't help applauding, but they immediately remembered that it was their opponent and stopped their movements.

Assistant coach Walter rushed over immediately, and he was accompanied by the team doctor, who even carried a stretcher.But after vomiting, Gago felt much better. He picked up the towel handed over by the team doctor and wiped his mouth, then opened a bottle of water and rinsed his mouth to replenish the water in his body.

Although Schuster was also very worried, the game was not over yet, and he, the coach, could not move yet, so he could only let the assistant coach pass.And the team doctors are professional, they are very good at this kind of thing.

After helping Gago to sit on the bench, a team doctor hurriedly gave him a massage to relax his muscles and avoid fatigue and strains.

Gago's scene on the sidelines received even more attention than the games on the court.The [-] Real Madrid fans who came with the team stood up nervously and looked at Gago's direction.The Real Madrid players on the field also looked at the bench with some concern, especially Marcelo and Ramos, who had a very good relationship with him.

The Manchester United players were only slightly distracted, and then devoted themselves to the game, preparing to launch a counterattack in the final minutes.

Facts have proved that Manchester United deserves to be the team that is best at playing headwinds. After scoring two goals in a row against Real Madrid in 3 minutes, the team did not panic at all, and launched an attack on Real Madrid's goal under the roar of Ferguson on the sidelines.

After Gago left the field, Real Madrid's "supernatural state" disappeared immediately, and the appearance of the two muscular sticks, Diarra and Baptista, completely put the team into a defensive situation.Raul and Robben have also retreated back, leaving only Ruud Van Nistelrooy in the frontcourt to fight back.

But at this time, Manchester United also fell into a state of madness. Under the leadership of Scholes and Giggs, they launched a crazy counterattack.

In the following time, Manchester United can form a shot basically every minute, and the players have already pressed up.Seeing that the ball is at the feet of Real Madrid players, someone will go up to press it desperately until the ball is snatched, and then attack violently again.

In the last minute of stoppage time, Giggs's hurricane rush on the wing opened a gap from Baptista's side, and Marcelo, who came up to siege, was eaten raw by the winger's speed.Real Madrid's left side was cut through by him alone, and Heinze came up immediately when he saw this situation.He who was still at Manchester United last season naturally knew how powerful this man is, so he made a gesture to Cannavaro to fill the position when he made the tackle, so as not to let him face the goal directly after he was also broken.

But this time Giggs did not choose to break through, but crossed the ball to the middle, where another "[-] generation" in a red jersey came up and blasted the ball vigorously.

"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"At the last second, Manchester United completely took advantage of the scene after Gago went off the field, and finally equalized the score at the last minute. Giggs and Scholes, the two veteran players, perfectly cooperated to create a second for Manchester United. The trip to the Bernabeu in the round keeps the hope of qualifying."

"This will be the most exciting game in the Champions League this year. It is impossible to have a more exciting game than this one. We are so lucky to be able to watch the last moment on the spot."

After Van der blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Real Madrid players came to the sidelines without any discussion and asked how Gago was doing.In Real Madrid for more than a year, the Argentine prince has won the love of his teammates with his excellent skills and good image.

At this time, Gago was lying on the bench, looking like he was in a coma, but in fact he was just sleeping to recover his strength.And there is a team doctor by his side to take care of him all the time.

"It's okay, it's just too tired, go back and rest for a few days and you'll be fine."

After hearing these words from the team doctor, Ramos and others breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Ferguson, the host, came over and shook Schuster's hand, and then asked a very casual question.

"How is he, is it all right?"

"No problem, at least there is no problem playing in the second round of the Bernabeu!"

Faced with Schuster's unkind words, Ferguson was not angry, but smiled abnormally.

"I am looking forward!"

After finishing speaking, the stubborn old man with white hair left.

Ps: I overestimated myself, but I still took the time to write a chapter, so as not to be considered a scam!Finally, apologies for the recent update, which may last for a while!
