princely elegance

Chapter 13 Anti-Ox Tail
"gooooo-ooo-ooooooal, the goal was scored by... Ruud van Nistelrooy, he scored the leading goal, and it was the new prince of the Bernabeu who assisted him...Fernando? Gago. I don’t know how long it’s been, but we finally saw the Real Madrid team at the Bernabeu, which relied on their gorgeous offense to beat Europa..."

The commentator on the scene was completely overwhelmed at the moment the ball was scored, and he started to shout with his greatest strength.But after a while, the cheers of the standing fans suppressed his voice.The camera was aimed at several elderly fans in the South Stand, and they burst into tears at this moment.

After scoring the goal, Van Nistelrooy ran to the midfield, smiled and pointed at Gago with his index finger. Gago ran over knowingly, and then the two jumped up, and bumped chest to chest in the air.After landing, the two were overwhelmed by the surrounding teammates and began to celebrate.Everyone on the bench rushed out the moment the goal was scored.Only because the injured Raul wanted to stand up in his seat because of his limited mobility, he was decisively rejected by the team doctor.

Because of the goal, Real Madrid celebrated for 2 minutes.After the referee told them to disperse, everyone on the field reluctantly left Gago and Van Nistelrooy.Gago, who had never experienced this kind of scene, was almost crushed, but in the end it was the small smoking gun that gave him a hand so that Gago could stand up.

"Those bastards almost crushed me to death."

Gago rubbed his waist in pain, but the pride in his eyes was exchanged for the naked contempt of the small smoking gun.

"Don't always give Rude an assist, give me one anytime?"

The contemptuous look on the begging little smoker's face only lasted for a while, and then he nodded and bowed and asked Gago to give him an assist as well.Gago remembered that when he first met Higuain, he was quite a pure child, why did he become so shameless after only a few days.Well, he must have been led astray by classmate Xiao Ma, no, he must be brought back to the right path.

Marcelo, who was watching the game in the auditorium, sneezed directly at this time. Seeing Higuain and Gago whispering together with inspiration, he knew that the two of them were choreographing him again.It's a pity that he has to be on the court, and he can't reprimand him with force.

"Watermelon, follow me from now on, stay away from that scum of pony, and I'll give you a few more assists."

Xiao Yanqiang naturally nodded after hearing this, and agreed first before talking. As for whether to comply or not, it depends on the situation.

"Well, then you go and wait."

The high-spirited boy Gago let the little smoking gun go back to his position very imposingly.

At this time, Zaragoza, who had just kicked the ball in the midfield, was cut off by the black and hard Diarra the moment the ball was passed to Milito.Diarra, who got the ball, was also very proud at this time, and I could see the simple way of the ball at a glance.The rough black, hard and rare coquettishness of the feet, facing the counter-robbing Milito pretended to pass the ball to the left, which attracted the future Inter Milan's striker to lift his foot and instantly changed one foot from Milito The crotch poked the ball to Gago.

After receiving the ball, Gago was a little dumbfounded, but he still likes Milito very much.This low-key, hard-working, late-blooming striker is also his compatriot after all, and they are all the eagles of Pampas.

But this time is the opponent, no matter how much he appreciates it in his heart, Gago still goes all out for Zaragoza.As a result, Zaragoza, who originally wanted to press to get the score back, was pressed back by Real Madrid's crackling offense in an instant, and continued to be a turtle.

Because he promised Higuain to assist him, Gago paid great attention to his running position.It has to be said that Higuain deserves to be the king of efficiency who can force Van Nistelrooy away and put Raul and Benzema on the bench in the future.His running position is very smart, and he can always catch the gap that the opponent reveals for a moment. This kind of sense of smell is not even comparable to Van Nistelrooy.

Gago handed the ball to Bravo when he was on top, then switched positions with Reyes, leaving Aimar behind.At this time, the ball was passed back to his feet.Pique, who had been assisted by Gago in front of his eyes just now, immediately pressed up and focused all his attention on the ball at Gago's feet.

Pique is also a capable defender now, knowing that he cannot break the ball at Gago's feet.So he changed his strategy and focused on the ball instead of the man. After half the game, Gago hadn't seen a breakthrough, which made Pique think that Gago's breakthrough technique was not very good.If Gago knew Pique's inner thoughts, he might not be able to resist breaking Capello's order, so suddenly he would be shadowed when seeing him.If I don't play breakthrough, it's because I have difficulties, not because I can't do it.

But Pique immediately discovered that not only could he not keep his eyes on people, but he couldn't even keep his eyes on the ball.At the moment when Pique robbed, Gago keenly felt that there was a gap in the opponent's defense.The small smoking gun immediately inserted to the left.

Naturally, Gago would not let the smoker down. Under Pique's nose, he flicked the instep of his right foot outward, making a gesture to pass the ball to the center.When Pique stood up to block, he pulled the ball back, and then poked the ball with his toe and passed the ball from under his crotch.

This crotch-piercing ball is much more beautiful than the black and hard Diarra's just now, a pass after a cow's tail attracted Pique's unstable center of gravity.Seeing Gago's action on the big screen, the fans couldn't help but screamed.How many years haven't I seen a Real Madrid player make such an aesthetic move.

In the box, seeing Gago's movements, the four of them immediately turned to look at Redondo.

The one who has played the "ox tail" to the pinnacle is naturally Ronaldinho, Barcelona's number one star.But before him, Redondo was also a master at playing "ox tail".It's just that Ronaldinho's is so famous that his "ox tail" has become orthodox, while the "ox tail" played by Redondo, who is a left-footed player, is known in football. It is "anti-oxtail".

"This kid probably watched a lot of videos of you playing football. This action looks like you."

Bosque smiled at Redondo.

The little smoking gun who just ran to the left side of the penalty area saw the ball in front of his eyes, and he was overjoyed to observe the situation on all sides.Seeing that Millito had already leaned up to block, he also used an imaginative movement, without stopping the ball, directly picked it up with the toe of his left foot, and then turned around close to Millito's body, facing directly. Against goalkeeper Cesar, a volley.

Just as the Real Madrid fans at the scene stood up and were about to cheer for the goal, the ball flew high above the crossbar.Scared Cesar and the away fans in a cold sweat.

Capello, who had just sat down, saw Gago's wonderful pass, stood up and saw the little smoking gun jumping the ball and turned around.At this moment, his face darkened again, and he said to the assistant coach beside him.

"After going back, let him practice shooting for two hours a day."

Higuain's annoyed look didn't last long, because the opponent's counterattack started again.Aimar passed the ball directly through Gago and Diarra's defense.After holding his breath, Milito jumped out instantly, got the ball after crossing the center line, then sped up and passed Bravo who had come up to assist and hadn't returned yet.

Then before Cannavaro surrounded him, he distributed the ball to Dalisandro who was plugging in from the right. The latter did not hesitate after getting the ball and immediately sent a diagonal pass.Milito has already passed Cannavaro at this time, wiped Torres outside the penalty area with the exact same pick and turn of Higuain just now, and then volleyed before Elguera blocked it.

With exactly the same movements, Milito's shooting skills are more than a step higher than that of the small smoking gun.The ball went straight to the upper right corner of the goal, and the average goalkeeper would definitely raise his hand and surrender in the face of such a shot.

But what he was facing was Casillas, who was dubbed the title of "Saint". Cassie, whose reaction ability surpassed the limit of ordinary people, made a world-class pounce.After kicking off the ground, he stretched his body to the limit, and he could hold the ball out of the goal with the strength of his fingers.

"'Saint'-Igor, he saved Real Madrid once again, let us pay tribute to him!"

The on-site commentator's heart still hadn't stopped beating at this time, and the counterattack just now almost went in.If they were tied after only a few minutes of the lead, the morale would drop right away.This time it was the turn of Iker Casillas and Real Madrid fans to break out in a cold sweat.

After this attack, there was not much time left in the first half, and there were 4 minutes of stoppage time. Raul's injury and the celebration of the goal just now did waste so much time.

However, taking advantage of this opportunity, Real Madrid still played an offensive.After Gago returned to his own half and got the ball passed to him by the defender, he looked up for a while.

At this time, Aimar and Milito surrounded him again, and Milito even pulled Gago with a subtle trick.But it still didn't stop Gago from passing the ball.

After receiving the ball, Robinho dribbled the ball to the bottom line with a few dazzling cycling dribbles and kicked in a pass.Ruud van Nistelrooy shot after receiving the ball in the penalty area, but was blocked by Sergio with his body.

At this time, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

The Real Madrid generals, who ended with a lead, walked into the locker room talking and laughing, but what awaited them was not praise.Capello seriously criticized Real Madrid's defense during the intermission. Real Madrid's defense, which was almost blown up by Milito alone just now, proved that the defense can only rely on "Saint" Cassie.This made Cannavaro, who just won the "World Footballer" and "Golden Globe" a month ago, very embarrassed.But he couldn't refute it, because it was true.

In the midfield, Capello arranged the tactics for the second half, so that the two full-backs could not assist unless it was absolutely necessary.At the same time, it also asked Gago to withdraw the forward pressing midfielder and echo with the back line, so as not to leave a gap for the opponent to counterattack.

The more Gago heard it, the more he felt something was wrong, and he didn't react until he was on the field.

Damn, this Takuma is going to play 1:0 again.

Yes, Capello's heart is thinking about maintaining the advantage of one goal to the end.If possible, he would like to play a defensive counterattack directly, but considering that this is the home court, he still has to pretend.He told Gago to control the midfielder, try to control the ball at his feet, and pass more.

As a result, Real Madrid fans, who were full of expectations for the second half, saw Real Madrid began to pass the ball continuously in the midfield.But at last he didn't lose his face and kill the time directly. Under Gago's scheduling and distribution of the ball, there were still shots every few minutes.

The head coach of Zaragoza, who was ready to attack at the beginning of the second half, did not expect Capello to see through his tactics, so the two sides continued to fight in the midfield, you rob me, I rob you.However, in the end, Real Madrid was superior, and the clown Aimar was frozen together by Gago and Diarra.

The midfield command failed, and Zaragoza could no longer fight back.On the contrary, Real Madrid played a lot of offenses, but none of them turned into goals.

In the 67th minute, Capello replaced Reyes with De La Reid, and the midfielder's defense was further strengthened, completely extinguishing Zaragoza's hope of counterattack.
