Chapter 42 Overtaking
"The ball went in. Higuain, the Argentine teenager, was late for the league goal. Since he came to Real Madrid, fans have recognized him with his hard work. When he came to Real Madrid, who would have thought that among the giants with world-class forwards such as Ronaldo, Raul, and Fanny, this previously unknown young player could play as the main player. Since his debut against Real Betis in the Copa del Rey, he has firmly occupied the position of the main forward with his outstanding and diligent performance."
"Gonzalo Higuain, another rising star, while we were attracted by the performances of Aguero and Gago on the court, he used a goal to indicate that Argentina's future will also have him. Of course, most of the credit for this goal is still attributed to Gago, who has continuously picked the ball and broke through Atletico Madrid's entire defense line. The final pass was just right. Higuain faced an empty goal without a man and easily scored."
"Fernando Gago, he is the future of Real Madrid. After playing against Bayern, he stood up at a critical moment and assisted Higuain to score the equalizer goal. This also made everyone know that he is not a flash in the pan. He will become a star that will always shine, hanging high above the Bernabeu."
At the moment the ball entered, various TV stations explained from different angles. Some people focused on Higuain's running position, but more people still praised Gago. Although that time was indeed very beautiful, the angle of the shot was basically blocked. If Higuain hadn't inserted it in time, that opportunity would have been wasted. The two of them should have actually scored half a pound of credit.
However, in football, people who are famous have always received more attention. For example, Zidane assisted Casano to score, and most people would praise Zidane's assist. On the other hand, if Guti assisted Ronaldo to score, more people would pay attention to Ronaldo.
In football, it always depends on who is famous. Of course, fame is improved by strength.
So at the moment of scoring, although many Real Madrid fans at the scene called Higuain, more people cheered Gago's name.
Higuain was very excited after scoring the goal. This is his first goal since joining Real Madrid. He has been under great pressure recently. Although he has performed well in every game, he cannot resist not scoring goals. The media has complained about Capello's main striker and captain Raul retreating to the right forward position. Although Raul only scored six goals for Real Madrid in the league this season, he is better than Higuain, who has never scored a single goal.
Not only the media, but even the fans complained about Raul not playing the striker. Although he did not explicitly boo Higuain, many people online still think that he, as a newcomer, should be on the bench for a while.
Not every newcomer is treated like Gago. As soon as he enters Real Madrid, many fans cheer for him, and when he sits in the main players, some people cheer for him. Gago is a rare situation. Real Madrid really needs a core organization, especially after Emerson played for half a season. So Gago, who performed well, was immediately loved by fans.
Higuain is a striker. Real Madrid's forwards have always been the hardest to get through, because Real Madrid likes to buy world-class strikers, and more than one. Several people want to compete for the main position. It is natural to be suspected of a newcomer like Higuain who has not proved himself.
So this time, the goal was scored, and Xiao Yangui had the urge to cry. Damn, he finally scored a goal in twelve games.
Of course, after scoring the goal, Higuain did not forget to assist him. Both of them were in the penalty area and were not far away. After scoring the goal, Gago immediately rushed over and hugged Higuain.
"I'll give you an assist if I say I'll give you a help!"
Gago slapped Xiao Yangui's shoulder hard and said in a very stinky way.
"The competition is over, and you can choose where you want to choose."
Xiao Yangun made a promise for such a pleasant assist.
After being equalized by Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid players were very unwilling to give up. As the first half was about to end, those who could have returned to the locker room with a happy mood may have to go back and listen to the scolding.
Aguero clenched his fists unwillingly when he watched Gago celebrate outside the penalty area. He originally thought he could defeat Gago in this game. But Gago used a beautiful assist to equalize the data of both of them. Now they both have one assist, and there is still half of the game and time.
Aguero exclaimed himself that he must win this game, especially against Real Madrid.
With five minutes left in the first half and injury time, Atletico Madrid players were unwilling to be equalized and wanted to lead again. In the last time, they launched a stormy offensive. Aguero, especially, forgot about his physical crisis and organized the team to launch one fierce attack after another.
But Gago dispelled their attacks again and again on the outside of the penalty area, making Atletico Madrid's offensive look full of momentum, but in fact it was full of water.
In the end, the only attack that entered the penalty area was a purposeless cross, which was grabbed by Torres, but the header flew out of the goal.
As the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, Real Madrid players walked off the stadium with a smile. However, Atletico Madrid players all looked solemn and looked very tired.
After returning to the locker room, Capello looked very happy. He naturally saw Atletico's physical crisis. As long as he maintains his own pace in the second half, he will definitely be able to drag them down.
"Feer, you didn't do well in the first half, and you were surrounded by your opponent so easily. You have to know that you are the core of the team's organization, and your mistakes make it easy for your opponent to hold our noses. The opponent will not have much physical strength in the second half, and they will not be under such pressure on you. You need to speed up the pace and don't slow down and drag them down."
As a famous coach, Capello hit the nail on the head in the midfield. He saw the opponent's crisis and provided a way to accelerate their crisis. At the same time, he also changed someone to help Gago. He replaced Emerson with Diarra, and reappeared on both back midfielders. Diarra helped defend, liberated Gago and organized with all his strength.
"It seems that I am still not qualified now. The defense and organization cannot be perfect, so I can only focus on one aspect."
Through the first half, Gago also knew the gap between himself and the peak Redondo. He could not perfectly combine offense and defense, and could not dominate the position of the midfielder alone.
"But, am I still young?"
Just as Gago was thinking this way, Aguire next door wanted to extend the halftime break by an hour. The assistant coach and substitutes all helped the main players massage and let them recover as much physical strength as possible. At the same time, he also arranged a tactic of defense-oriented in the second half, hoping to save physical strength and resolve the battle in the last ten minutes.
"Remember, overwhelm the pace the slowest and let your teammates recover their energy."
When Aguirre played in the final, he talked about the team's organizational core Maniche again.
But can it really be what he wants?
As soon as the second half started, Real Madrid, who kicked off, quickly pushed the pace. After Gago received the ball, he and Guti passed the ball continuously, and suddenly increased the attack speed, forcing Atletico Madrid to speed up to prevent Real Madrid from breaking fast.
Rhythm cannot be controlled by one person. In the first half, Gago could not suppress Atletico Madrid's rhythm, and Atletico Madrid now cannot suppress Real Madrid's rapid attack.
As a last resort, Aguero could only give up the preparation for accumulating physical strength and surrounded Gago again with Luxin.
But this time, Gago saw them coming up and did not stop practicing the ball. He passed it to Reyes' feet again. Then he ran away, left them for a distance and reached out to ask for the ball again.
After attracting Aguero and Lucin, they passed the ball again, using the method of running around, constantly letting them run around, consuming their originally not much physical strength.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Aguero stopped and no longer wasted for no reason. But in this way, Gago could organize the team's offense calmly and speed up the pace.
Gradually, the situation on the court tilted towards Real Madrid. The professional commentators present could clearly see that after the start of the second half, Gago controlled the rhythm of the entire game with constant passing and running positions, and constantly accelerating the rhythm to attack Atletico Madrid's goal.
Atletico Madrid no longer has the idea of conserving its physical strength at this time. If you don’t fight hard at this time, you may not have to fight hard later. You can surrender and admit defeat.
It has to be said that Atletico Madrid's defense line, which is fully focused, is still OK, blocking Real Madrid's bombing for more than ten minutes.
But at this moment, Gago slowed down the pace again. Without a team, you can attack the game without breathing. Even if the opponent does not fight back, hitting people still requires physical strength.
The sudden breathing space made Atletico Madrid players feel as if they had entered heaven, thinking that they finally kept it.
At this time, Real Madrid's offense failed and the ball reached Atletico. Aguero, who had just taken a breath, was preparing to attack, but found that he could not run any longer. After receiving the ball, facing the newly-playing Diyala, who had no energy to get rid of it, and was almost intercepted.
Finally, he hurriedly passed the ball back to Maniche, allowing him to kill time and let the players rest. They had just been attacked by Real Madrid's offensive and didn't even have the strength to attack.
Just as the pass was passed, Gago rushed over. Maniche, who had just received the ball, was not prepared enough and was snatched away.
After Gago intercepted the ball, he looked up at the goal, then pushed his arch and passed it straight to Guti outside the penalty area. After receiving the ball, the Fourteenth Master was assigned to the right again. After Raul received the ball, he faced the goalkeeper and a light push shot was shot. The ball was observing the post and entered the net.
2:1.
Overtaking is the moment of slacking off.
