princely elegance

Chapter 5 Beginning to integrate

At the beginning of the second half, Gago began to adapt constantly, and at the same time firmly stood in his position, constantly using passing to strengthen mutual understanding.It seems that Capello also intends to fulfill him. Although he started to change players shortly after the second half, none of the midfield players changed. He replaced Higuain, who was on the opposite side of the bench, with Ronaldo, and then used Sisy Juni. Ramos, who was on the main side, was replaced.

With the longer and longer time on the field, due to the great advantage of the midfielder, Gago does not need to focus on defense, so he is also familiar with the passing and receiving of his teammates.Passing, leading, stopping, cutting, Gago's organizational ability began to be gradually displayed, and the main team, which had been silent for more than half an hour, began to overwhelm the substitutes again.

Under Gago's organization and distribution of the ball, the center and both wings can find the best chance to receive the ball, and then pass it into the penalty area.The midfielder began to show off, and the striker naturally would not waste the opportunity.Ruud van Nistelrooy began to have more chances to shoot, which made the defense nervous for a while.

Seeing this situation, Capello stretched out his hand and motioned to Garcia.Then Cassano began to retreat to press Gago, and Garcia also gave up the defense against Raul, and Cassano joined hands to press Gago.

Faced with this situation, Gago, who has excellent ball control ability, is not afraid. He keeps moving the ball with his left foot and right foot. break off.Seeing that they couldn't break Gago's ball, the two stopped doing wasted effort.One defended against Gago's breakthrough, and the other defended against the breakthrough, and began to contain him as the core of the organization.

This effect also appeared immediately, even if Gago could find a gap to pass the ball, but Garcia was always entangled with him, making him unable to organize and dispatch the ball as freely as he did at the beginning.Before long, the midfield of the main side began to become chaotic again.

Although the front midfielder Guti also has a certain organizational ability, but under Emerson's close defense, there is no good opportunity, so he can only hand it over to Robinho on the left or Raul on the right in a hurry.

The next game was carried out under this kind of boring midfield chaos, in which Gago thought of many ways.Since he is entangled, there must be more opportunities for others. His outstanding awareness can allow Gago to judge the path of the ball even when he is pressed close to him, catch the ball continuously, and then quickly kick it out.It's a pity that it's still due to the lack of tacit cooperation. The black and hard Diarra is always half a beat behind Gago's pass.

The practice match ended in such a dull manner. After the end, Gago scored seven points for himself, which is quite a satisfactory result.After this game, he found that the best thing about this body is its ability to predict, and then it is ball control. The speed is average, and the body is average. When passing the ball, the accuracy of the short pass is good, and the long pass is still average. .

Using the full score of 10, you can get 9 for prediction, 8 for ball control, 6 for speed, 5 for body, 7 for short pass and 5 for long pass.Moreover, Gago found that his left and right feet were not balanced. Most of the technical movements were completed with the right foot, and the left foot was generally used as a supporting foot.

But this can be seen on the bright side, the reading ability of the rest of the game, the control of the rhythm, and the organization and dispatch of the ball are very talented.Gago can feel that if there are a lot of games, he should be able to change his talent into strength in a very short period of time.

It's a pity, the most lacking thing now is time!

Thinking of this, Jia Ge sat down on one side of the training ground, and someone next to him handed him a bottle of water, and he took it without paying attention and took a sip.

Looking up, he was choked immediately.

"Team... Captain!"

Yes, it was Real Madrid's captain, "Lord of the Rings" Raul, who handed him the water. He was flattered. This is the real leader of the Real Madrid locker room.Usually he, a rookie who is new to the gang, takes the initiative to visit him, the boss, but now he actually offers to bring him water...

"Drink slowly. When you came, Fernando called us and hoped that I could help you integrate into the team. He is the person I respect the most. He led me into the dressing room of Real Madrid when I just joined the first team. So I didn't reject him. But at first I was skeptical about whether you are qualified to join Real Madrid. After seeing your performance today, I feel relieved."

Having said that, Raul stretched out his right hand and said solemnly.

"Let's work together for the championship!"

"Yes, Captain!"

After hearing this, Gago held Raul's hand very seriously.

Seeing Gago's expression, Raul smiled, rubbed his long golden hair, and said.

"Waiting at the hotel tonight, we will hold a welcome reception for you, I will call you at nine o'clock tonight, and let me know Marcelo and Higuain by the way."

After Raul said this, he stood up and left. Gago was in awe of his slightly melancholy back. This is a person who dedicated the best time of his life to Real Madrid.

After Raul left, Marcelo and Higuain approached curiously and asked Gago what was going on.

Gago talked about the evening reception.

"Damn, why did the captain only look for you and ask you to inform us, it's not fair."

After hearing this, classmate Xiao Ma looked melancholy and jealous, watching the hairs on Jiago's back standing upright.The small smoking gun next to him showed a tacit look of jealousy.

Fortunately, Capello blew his whistle again at this time, and Gago hurried over to gather.Let Capello see it, and he thought with satisfaction that this kid is sensible, and it is worthwhile for me to put you on the starting list.

"The next step is physical training. I don't want to see anyone being lazy. Afterwards, there will be assistant coaches who will train your deficiencies. Well, that's it, let's start."

Are Capello's speeches always so "concise and concise", the rookie Gago came to this conclusion in confusion.

Then I started the so-called "physical training", which is actually very sacred, and it is actually running laps.Each lap is 400 meters, a total of 20 laps, with an average of no less than 2 minutes and 30 seconds per lap.

I just went through a practice match, and after a short rest, I started physical training, and I can imagine how tired I was.However, Jia Ge didn't dare to cry out, and started to run around with the big team honestly.

It was okay at the beginning, no one was left behind, but after five laps, the alien, who was obviously bloated for a large circle, began to pant and lag behind. After eight laps, the bad boy Cassano was also a little bit behind.Gago has always maintained an average speed in the middle of the peloton.The first team is black and hard Diarra, the quality of African players is really enviable.However, Carlos and Beckham followed closely, which makes people sigh the professionalism of the two of them.After twelve laps, Lord Fourteen was also behind, and at this time, the first team had passed the aliens by two laps.

At the fifteenth lap, Gago began to feel that his physical strength had reached its limit.However, seeing that there were still nearly ten people leading the way, he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, adjusted his breathing, and used the viciousness he had practiced since he was a child for the final sprint.

After running, you can't sit down and rest immediately, you have to keep walking, move your joints, and you are not allowed to stop until your breathing is calm.

After a short break, an assistant coach came over and handed Gago a schedule.The above lists his various test data, as well as the training plan formulated by the coaching staff.Gago took a closer look and found that it was all training aimed at his weak left foot and body strength, so he nodded in agreement.

"As expected of Capello's assistant team, they have seen my weaknesses in such a short period of time, and they can also formulate detailed training."

While sighing in his heart, Jia Ge thought of a common saying on the Internet, "Behind a successful man, there are always several men silently supporting him"!
La Liga training usually starts at noon, so after Gago started targeted practice for two hours according to the assistant coach's request, the day's training ended.

After greeting Raul Guti, Gago took Marcelo and Higuain back to the hotel and started preparing for tonight's reception.

After taking a shower at the club and changing back into their own clothes, the three of them made a phone call. When they first arrived, none of the three of them bought a car.Although they are not short of money.

After asking the waiter at the hotel, and knowing the room that Raul had booked, the three of Gago and the others went out to have a meal first, and strolled around Madrid.Then he returned to the hotel half an hour earlier, and soon after arriving at the room, Raul and Guti came together.

"How's Madrid? Is it fun?"

Facing Raul's question, the three of them nodded wildly. Is it someone else's territory? Can you say no?Raul smiled and didn't care.

"I'll show you around when I'm free some other day."

Then, one after another, the members of the first team came. I have to say that Raul's face was great, and everyone came together.Especially Ronaldo, he was very excited at the reception, but fortunately it was just an ordinary reception without girls, otherwise, he might have played even more crazy.

Under the stimulation of alcohol, the three of Gago, who was originally a little reserved, let go of it. Under the leadership of Raul, they had a drink with everyone, and they became acquainted.Since there is still training tomorrow, everyone didn't play very late, and dispersed before eleven o'clock.

When Raul sent away the reluctant Ronaldo, Gago breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, drinking with so many superstars, no pressure is fake.Although he was very active under the influence of alcohol just now, but now he was blown by the cold wind outside, and he felt more excited after waking up.The idol who was unattainable in the previous life has actually drank together now.

After Raul paid the bill last and bid farewell to Gago and the others, he helped Guti, who was a little too drunk, to call one too.Drunk driving is very serious, and he obviously knows the consequences since he didn't drive over.

After everyone had left, Gago and the sober smoker exchanged glances, looked at classmate Xiao Ma who was drunk and lying down, and helped him up the stairs helplessly.
