Chapter 71 Intermission (Second update)

After seeing the yellow card, Ramos turned around and left without pleading.He walked so chicly, and he was more realistic about the commentator's guess, which made the Barcelona fans booed, while the Real Madrid fans applauded.How did they understand that it was Ramos who knew that he was wrong just now, so he didn't bother to argue.

Ronaldinho is Barcelona's number one star. Although he has not scored in this game so far, he has his shadow in both goals. It can be said that the mastermind behind the scenes is no exception.It would be great if this kick can get him off the field. If he goes off the field, we will win the game for sure.The Real Madrid fans thought happily, and even Capello on the sidelines applauded this kick in their hearts.

Ronaldinho's injury looked really serious, and he was carried off the field for treatment.

While the game continued, Ramos' kick aroused Barcelona's anger. They were angry when Olager was sent off just now, but now they dare to retaliate. I don't know if this is at our home court.

Marquis snatched the ball with a dangerous move while defending Van Nistelrooy, and then Van Nistelrooy raised the studs without showing weakness and snatched the ball back. All the Premier League players are pure men. Not a little sand.

But the appearance of the two of them made the referee nervous. He couldn't let the two sides lose control. He would be in trouble if they fought at that time. He came over and gave one of them a yellow card to suppress the momentum.

After this penalty, the out-of-control anger on both sides finally calmed down. After all, no one wanted to be punished again, especially Barcelona, ​​who already lost one person. If there is less, just surrender and admit defeat.

Next, the two sides began to honestly fight for defense, and even Gago returned to the position of the midfielder to help defend Messi.The two finally had a direct confrontation, which excited countless fans, but the result disappointed them greatly.

In the first [-] minutes of the game, the sparks splashed and the two were like good friends when they were one-on-one. Messi basically didn't break through when he received the ball, but kept passing back to pass the time.And Gago did not press easily, allowing Messi to pass the ball easily to the midfielder.

In fact, the thoughts of the two people are also the thoughts of all the players and the head coach present. After all, it is only a few minutes before the end of the first half, and no one wants to cause more trouble at this time.Let's treat it as a tie in the first half, wait until the midfield adjusts, and then decide the winner.

Capello has extreme confidence in his own adjustments. He believes that with his own level, he can completely play with the Dutch in the applause.

Rijkaard, on the other hand, had another idea. Ronaldinho's injury made him very worried, although he quickly returned to the game after dealing with it off the field.But if there is an eventuality and the Brazilian's injury worsens, then Barcelona's next games this season will be difficult to play.Everyone knows the importance of the Brazilian to Barcelona. Even if Messi has shown a dominant performance today, Ronaldinho, the No. 1 in football, is the one he trusts most in his heart.

Therefore, under the deliberate restraint of both sides at the same time, the first half ended without any disturbance.

As soon as Navarrez blew the whistle, the two sides began to end in a tacit understanding, and Gago and Messi didn't say much.After all, the game is not over yet, this time is the enemy.

After returning to the locker room, Gago quickly took a big sip of water. After half the game, his physical strength was exhausted.After all, he used to organize the team in the backcourt, as long as he passed the ball, he didn't need too much running.But in this game, in order to create opportunities for the team, he sprinted and broke through at full speed whenever he had the opportunity, which made his physical consumption a bit beyond expectations.

"Fair, can you still hold on?"

Capello asked a little worried after hearing this scene, Real Madrid can no longer lack this new star.What's more, unknowingly in this game, he has become the driving force for every player to struggle.

"Even this rookie is working so hard and doing so well, how can I, an old man, be compared to him?"

After hearing what Capello said, Gago just wanted to say that he was fine, but he forgot that he was drinking water and choked.

Ramos hurried over and patted him on the back, unblocking his trachea.

"Fair, don't be choked to death, this doesn't match your previous tall image."

Ramos' words made everyone present laugh, but Gago rolled his eyes.

"How is it possible, I haven't given you an assist yet, why is it so easy to die!"

"You still remember."

Ramos was a little embarrassed and said that he basically didn't attack in this game, even if Gago wanted to assist him, there was nothing he could do.In fact, he had no such plan at all. After all, every player was under a lot of pressure in this game. If he mentioned this matter, it might affect Gago's performance today.So he didn't mention this matter during the game, but he didn't expect Gago to say it directly.

"What I promised, I will do it. Just wait for the second half and work harder when setting the ball. If you want to score in this game, I am afraid that this is the only chance you have."

Just after Gago finished speaking, Capello suddenly laughed, which shocked the players in the locker room, thinking that the boss is going crazy.

"Fair was right. In the second half we focused on set-pieces and changed our formation. Although it is still 4-4-2, the position of the midfielder needs to be changed."

Capello took out the tactical board as he spoke, and demonstrated the routines of the second half. To put it bluntly, it is not surprising, but his old problems have returned, and he is ready to defend and counterattack.Gago returned to the position of the midfielder to support the team's overall situation, and Guti and Raul served as the double midfielder.This formation should be exactly 4-2-2-2.
In fact, Capello originally wanted to play as a three-man midfielder, but he thought that he needed a point of attack in the frontcourt when he counterattacked. This is the consideration for keeping Guti, who is in excellent form today, in the frontcourt.

After Gago heard Capello's words, a flash of understanding flashed in his heart. This strategy is probably the most suitable for him now.After all, his physical fitness is no longer enough to persist in another half-court attack. Above the position of the midfielder, although he has a defensive task, he always relies on prediction, and the consumption of physical energy is not as high as that of Diarana. Great style.

What he needs in the second half is to slow down the tempo, kill the time patiently, and cooperate more.It is necessary to improve the accuracy of the attack, but I am afraid that Barcelona is also planning this. After all, they have one less player, and they cannot hold the fast pace.This test is the control over the midfield.

"Xavi, Iniesta, Deco, Ronaldinho, against the midfield of this combination, will I be blown?"

This is Gago's first thought.
