Chapter 19 World Cup Qualifiers End

After slapping Zurich five goals away, Real Madrid's momentum in Europe instantly reached its peak. Although the direct opponent is Barcelona, ​​several other giants who are determined to be the Champions League also launched an investigation into the White Army at the same time. As long as they keep winning, they will encounter it one day.

Unlike Real Madrid players who returned to Spain with full praise, Barcelona, ​​who was just tied by Valencia in the last round, suffered a defeat for the first time this season. At the home court of the Camp Nou, Messi led the Association's Red and Blue Army to lose 1:2 to the Russian Premier League Kazan Ruby team.

This game is the biggest upset in the Champions League this round. Although Inter Milan and Liverpool have not been able to defeat their opponents, Inter Milan has always been weak in the Champions League, while Liverpool Gerrard and Torres are absent.

In any aspect, Barcelona has no reason to lose. The main players are playing together and they are at home. Since Guardiola took over Barcelona, ​​it has been unknown how long it has been since he lost at home. As powerful as Real Madrid, he has only won one draw and one loss in the last two games of the Century Battle at Camp Nou.

But Barcelona, ​​who would win no matter how hard he looks, lost to the "weak brigade" Kazan Ruby at home without any temper. After the game, Messi was criticized by all the media because the team's first goal was due to his back pass error. Moreover, as the team's number one star, he performed poorly throughout the game.

At the beginning of the season, Messi's goal status surprised everyone, but after that, all opponents increased their defense against him. So far, Barcelona's Golden Boy has not scored five consecutive games. It was his silence that made Barcelona lose two consecutive games in the last two consecutive games.

Although from the current perspective, these two games do not affect the overall situation, as the only superstar who can compete with Gago and even La Liga, his condition naturally aroused everyone's dissatisfaction.

This is how the media is. When you score a goal, they praise you to the sky, and when you don’t score a goal, they are the ones who turn against each other the fastest.

And it was under such circumstances that the last two rounds of the World Cup qualifiers began, and Gago, with Higuain, Aguero and others, came to the national team again.

"Lion. Long time no see!"

As a friend, Gago naturally knew about Messi's recent situation. Two hours after he arrived at the national team training base, Messi was also sent by his father.

"Feer, it's been a long time since we met!"

When Messi saw Gago coming to pick him up, his expressionless face showed a slightly smile. Not only Gago, but also Aguero came to pick him up. The relationship between the three of them was the best, and they fought all the way from all levels of the national team.

"Let's go, we're here early. The training will only start tomorrow morning. Let's go out for a meal together!"

Aguero took the luggage from Messi and suggested.

"No. I'm not in good condition recently, but I don't have the intention to play. I want to practice more!"

Messi shook his head. He also had a unyielding personality. After being scolded by the media, he naturally had to get it back. The best revenge was nothing more than scoring a goal and letting the paparazzi come and lick him again.

"I'm going to train a free kick too, let's go together!"

Aguero was about to persuade him, but Gago grabbed him and smiled and suggested to Messi.

"……Thanks……"

When Messi heard this, his lips trembled. Finally, he whispered two words.

"Let's go, Akun, please help us play the ball!"

Gago hugged Messi and pulled him to the training base, but the proposal made Aguero kick him directly.

"It should be you who set the ball for the uncle!"

...

In the penultimate round with Peru, Basil did not hold back at all, and all the main players were released. Although they had already qualified early, this Argentina team is a brand new team. In order to achieve good results in the South African World Cup next year, it is necessary to get more running-in.

Peru is now ranked last, with only 10 points, and even if they win all the remaining two games, they can't qualify. Now they are fighting for honor, and such opponents are still very terrible at some point.

The Argentine stars were completely playing the game, which led to the opponent being suppressed at the beginning. Fortunately, Samuel, who was not very stable in this game, took out 12% of the state, leading the defense line to ensure that the goal was not lost.

The 0-0 score in the first half made Barsile extremely dissatisfied during the halftime break, but his coaching style has always been soft. He did not substitute or curse in the midfield, but instead focused on explaining the tactical layout to the players with a gloomy face. If Ferguson was replaced, he would just curse. If anyone dared to retaliate, he would not have a chance to play in a season.

However, at this time, the young men in the frontcourt of Argentina all came back to their senses. Except for Messi who was in a bad state, Higuain and Aguero also had guilt on their faces. As the core, Gago was the first to stand up and apologize after Basilère finished his speech, and then called on his teammates to concentrate in the second half to ensure victory.

In fact, Gago's performance in this game was not bad, but he passed the ball more to Messi, hoping to break the goal drought by his friends, making it easy for Peru players to defend.

In the second half, when he began to return to his usual self, Argentina scored a goal, Gago's straight pass and Higuain's counter-offside. Using this set, Higuain has scored several goals in Real Madrid, and this time it is no exception in the national team, with one shot against the goalkeeper and a shot from the far corner.

Then in the 75th minute, Heinze, who had assisted, made a diagonal pass outside the penalty area, and Cambiaso pushed the ball into the goal without defending.

After Argentina returned to normal in the second half, the goal arrived immediately.

Although Peru took advantage of the corner kick to get a goal in injury time, it did not prevent Argentina from winning Peru at home and continuing to lead the standings.

The last round is the finale of this qualifier, with Uruguay playing against Argentina at home. However, after Paraguay defeated Venezuela away in the last round, all four places in the entire South American region that directly advanced to the finals have been determined.

Argentina with 36 points, Brazil with 33 points, Paraguay with 30 points, Chile with 30 points.

Although Uruguay ranks fifth, the 24-point score has already made them lose the qualification to advance directly. Even if they defeat Argentina in the last round, they must participate in the cruel play-offs.

However, as a powerful South America second only to Brazil and Argentina, Uruguay showed its dignity in the last round. It was stalemate with Argentina, the boss of South America, until the last minute before being defeated by Gago in front of the goal.

After this round of competition, the South American qualifiers were announced to be over, and Argentina advanced to the finals of the South African World Cup with an absolute advantage of 12 wins, three draws and three losses.

"Leo, it's a pity that you can't score!"

When parting at the airport, Gago said regretfully to Messi that in the last two rounds of qualifiers, he had passed the ball to Messi as much as possible. Although the opponent's goalkeeper was in a hurry, he was always one line away from the goal.

"No, I should thank you, Fair. I feel that my condition has almost recovered and I can score in the next round of the league. Don't regret it at that time, help me this direct opponent."

This time Messi's face was full of confidence. Although he failed to score a goal with the national team and break his goal drought, he had already walked out of the shadow under the care of friends like Gago and Aguero.

"I just happened to have no opponents, and it would be best if you could catch up!"

After hearing Messi's words, Gago's confidence on his face became even more dazzling.

"goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

...

After this national team match day, Shuster's brows began to frown because someone was finally injured. Robben, the glass man, found his ankle discomfort after a physical examination and needed to rest for half a month.

Although Real Madrid's personnel are now saturated in the winger position, Robben's injury can give Mata and Silvado a little playing time. But after the actual incident, Schuster is still very upset. It is undeniable that Silva and Mata are very talented, but compared to Robben, there is still a little gap.

In today's football world, in terms of winger position, Ronaldo and Messi will be the Dutch Pan afterwards, and will be a big battle with AC Milan. Robben was injured at this critical moment, which has slightly changed the form of this giant game. Originally, most people were optimistic about Real Madrid, but now the odds of both sides are almost equal.

"Luckily, Fair was not injured, otherwise those reporters who had been bastards would have sent out all the manuscripts of Real Madrid's loss!"

Shuster breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Gago pass the team doctor's physical examination successfully.

Although Sneider can replace Gago, the two are not of the same level in terms of deterrence. As long as Gago stands on the court, even if he doesn't get the ball, AC Milan will have to spend most of his energy. Sneider at most let Gattuso pay a little attention.

Perhaps it was because the ten consecutive wins in previous competitions were too dazzling and hurting their character. In the eighth round of La Liga, Real Madrid was tied 0:0 by Sporting Gijon away. In this game, Schuster understood Gago, Sneider and others had just played in the qualifiers and took them to take a good rest. Guti was the commander of the frontcourt, but the shortcomings of the Fourteenth Master were in good shape and were exposed in this game.

Although it was just a draw, La Liga and even the entire European teams paying attention to Real Madrid collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn it finally won't win. If you continue to win, we will just give the championship to you."

In this round, taking advantage of Real Madrid's draw, Barcelona scored a crazy score at home, sweeping away the shadow of previous Champions League failures.

Keita's hat trick, Iniesta, Henry and Messi scored one goal each, and the 6:1 score made the media who had previously been pessimistic about Barcelona immediately forget what they said. The manuscript that was completely opposite to the original was freshly released the next day, and Messi, who broke the goal drought, was once again praised by the media.
