Chapter 412 Break the curse
For Gago and Schuster, this Riazor is the only stadium he has not won in La Liga.This stadium has plagued Real Madrid for 19 years. For the football king, it is a shame for 19 years.
If this curse can be broken, there is no doubt that all players and coaches will become heroes of the Blancos.
It's just that it is not so easy to do this. Although Deportivo has been reduced to a dick-silk team that has been relegated every year, it still attaches great importance to the team's last fig leaf. The "Curse of Riazor" is now their last glory, and the only proof they have of what they once were.
So at the Riazor Stadium, Deportivo will definitely do their best, and it is not impossible to be as defiant as Athletic Bilbao.
Moreover, in this game, Ramos and Pepe have accumulated yellow cards and suspensions for Real Madrid. In addition to defense, the hardness will also be greatly affected.
But even if he was worried, Schuster still made the starting list, with a regular formation of 4-3-3.
Goalkeeper Casillas, defense Marcelo, Heinze, Albiol, Arbeloa; midfielder Alonso, Mascherano, Gago; frontcourt Raul, Higuain, Silva!
Before the UEFA Champions League started, Schuster had the courage to divide his players into two teams, with Spain playing in the league and the Netherlands playing in the cup.
Fortunately, Sneijder and Robben are not the kind of unruly players, and after reaching the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid will not give up easily in this event.As long as you go one step further, you will be in the final. If you enter the final, you will naturally win the championship.
And this has also stimulated the competitiveness between the two largest factions in Real Madrid, at least no one wants to be inferior.Gago's Spanish department is the largest faction in Real Madrid's history. Naturally, the Dutch gang is not allowed to come forward, and Sneijder and Robben are also hard-pressed. With Ruud van Nistelrooy injured and absent, Real Madrid is brought into the Copa del Rey of the semifinals.
Under such circumstances, the Real Madrid players who played at the Riazor Stadium are all Spanish-speaking people except Marcelo, so they naturally don't want to lose to the Dutch gang.Although the two groups of people do not interfere with each other under Schuster's wrist, as the Champions League knockout round is approaching, everyone wants to play on the club's biggest stage, so the sense of competition between the two factions is growing. strong.
As one of the current leaders of the Spanish Department, Gago performed better and better under the impact of Sneijder, and gradually entered another peak of his own.
The outside media thought that it should be a game of fighting between dragons and tigers. Under the shining of Gago, the mystery of Riazor was no longer there.In the opening 10 minutes, Gago and Silva changed positions and went to the bottom line. Under the attack of the opponent's two defenders, they knocked their heels in ecstasy. The ball was sent to the middle, and the unguarded Higuain easily scored with a header. , scored his No.20 goal in the league!
Then in the No.30 minute, Higuain reciprocated, a return pass sent the ball to the feet of Gago who was killed in the penalty area, and at this time the goalkeeper had already been attracted by Higuain.
Facing the empty goal, Gago easily pushed the incoming ball and completed the goal.
Although at the last moment of the second half Marcelo gave the opponent a penalty kick because Ricky, who pushed the opponent in the penalty area, allowed Deportivo to get back a goal, but Gago received Aveiro in stoppage time. Ya scored twice with a push and push shot from the bottom of the right.
This goal completely killed the suspense, allowing Real Madrid to finally win in this stadium after 19 years.In this game, Gago, who scored twice and assisted one, instantly became the number one superstar in modern times in the eyes of fans.He did what Redondo, Zidane, Figo and Ronaldo couldn't do.
After this game, Real Madrid's originally weak momentum rose again. In the words of professionals, it has passed the trough period and is climbing towards the peak again.
However, Cruyff's mouth still did not change his words. He insisted that this was a flashback of Real Madrid, and he would definitely fail in the next game, and was eventually overtaken by Barcelona.
And he believed that as long as Real Madrid hadn't given up on the Copa del Rey, they would be dragged down in two-way battles. Even if they didn't lose now, they would definitely not be able to hold on when the Champions League started.
As if to increase the basis of Cruyff, Real Madrid was once again tied in the first round of the Copa del Rey semi-final after breaking the "Riasso curse".At the Calderon Stadium, the Dutch gang led by Sneijder fought fiercely for 10 minutes with the all-out Atletico Madrid, and finally scored 2:2!
Probably Gago's excellent performance in the last game stimulated the number 10 in the Netherlands. In this game, Sneijder showed a core demeanor when the team fell behind by two goals in the first half. The ball came back for a goal, and then a long pass assisted Robben before the end and scored another goal to equalize the score.
Although a draw in the away game is a good thing for Real Madrid, Cruyff jumped out again.
"Real Madrid is about to end. Now they have shown their fatigue in the two-line battle. The draw in Calderon is the best proof. If it weren't for the Dutchman's outbreak, they might have won the second game of the season It's a pity that Atletico Madrid couldn't last until the end, but I believe that the second round at the Bernabeu will definitely break the embarrassing record of eight years without a derby win. Come on! Atletico Madrid!"
Although there are fundamental contradictions between the Catalonia region and the Madrid region, Cruyff still let go of his reserve in front of Real Madrid, the great enemy, and shouted cheering slogans to Atletico Madrid!
His attitude naturally made the Real Madrid fans grit their teeth with hatred. What annoyed them most was that Atletico Madrid, who should be on the same team as them, responded to Cruyff's call.
Before the start of the second round, Chairman Xiao Hill shouted the slogan of fighting for honor through the media!It is obvious that they plan to smash Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. If Real Madrid's main force is exhausted, it is really not afraid of Atletico Madrid.But the problem is that in order to be able to persist on the two fronts, Schuster split the strongest Real Madrid into two parts. It may not be possible to rely on the frontcourt attack combination of Sneijder and Robben alone. Played the independent team combination of Forlan and Aguero.
The fans came to the Bernabeu with this worry to watch the No.20 round of the league, Real Madrid vs. Espanyol at home, this is the confrontation between Castilla and Catalonia.It's just that there is a common enemy of Barcelona. Although the atmosphere between the two teams is not friendly, it is not bad.
But when the game started, everyone showed their best form, especially Gago. Recently, Sneijder led Real Madrid all the way in the Copa del Rey, making him, the number one star, feel threatened.For this threat, Gago's approach is to prove himself with a better performance.
In the opening 6 minutes, due to Gago's continuous assault in the frontcourt, Real Madrid made a perfect start. Ramos plugged in and Gago's free kick was topped into the goal.
After assisting Ramos to score, Gago himself was unwilling to be lonely. In the No.30 minute, after Raul's shot was blocked by Kameni, he appeared in the most appropriate position in time, filling the upper right corner of the small penalty area. Goal!
Then in stoppage time, he almost broke the goal again, Marcelo's return pass, Gago pushed the far corner 16 yards away from the goal, but the ball was unfortunately rejected by the post after bypassing Kameni. outside the gate.
At the beginning of the second half, Real Madrid's offense was restrained a lot. After all, the team is about to start a third-line battle, and it is best to keep some energy to retain some energy.
But even so, Real Madrid still scored a goal in the last few minutes, this time it was Higuain's solo performance.After receiving a pass from Silva, he deftly got rid of Victor Ruiz and broke into the penalty area, then slid past Kameni and scored an easy low shot.
With 21 goals in 21 league rounds, the high efficiency of one goal per game allowed all fans to see the rise of a striker.
You must know that Messi, who is much more famous than Higuain, has only scored [-] goals in the league. This season, Real Madrid's legendary strikers finally feel at ease, because the team's top scorer is finally not the midfielder Gago .
The 3:0 victory over the Spaniard allowed Real Madrid to once again overtake Barcelona by one point to take the top spot in the league. The Barcelona fans who learned of the result all angrily scolded the Spaniard, a rival in the same city who would only make trouble for them.
The news that made them even more upset came later. In the second round of the Copa del Rey semi-final held at the Bernabéu, Atletico Madrid was still defeated by Real Madrid 3:2 at home despite all their main players!
Atletico Madrid has done well enough in this game. After falling behind twice, the successive goals of Aguero and Forlan dragged the game into overtime, which gave Atletico Madrid fans hope for a while.But in overtime, Schuster showed his shameless side, and Gago and Higuain both played.The last two substitutions in the hand showed their effect at the most critical time.
The appearance of Gago and Higuain brought Real Madrid's lineup to its peak. Alonso, Sneijder, and Gago's midfield trio completed a wonderful cooperation in overtime, and Gago finally killed the team. Scored the winning goal into the box.
"Atletico Madrid loses because they don't have a superstar like Gago!"
After the game, Atletico Madrid's head coach Flores' emotional words at the press conference became the headlines of the next day.After defeating Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid can be regarded as having passed the first difficulty after the winter break.The final of the Copa del Rey will be held in May. As for the venue and specific time of the final, it has not yet been decided.
However, according to "Marca" reports, Real Madrid's application hopes to be held at the Nou Camp. In fact, because this year's Champions League final was held at the Bernabeu, the Spanish Football Association hopes to hold the King's Cup final at the Bernabeu to prepare for the Champions League final. Test the comprehensive conditions of the Bernabéu stadium.
But as Real Madrid broke into the final, it has become a bubble, so Real Madrid made a disgusting proposal for Barcelona.
