striker cool brother

Rossi sat on the bench for the weekend game against Sevilla.

One is because of continuous combat, players need to take turns to ensure their health.

The second is that Real Madrid's pressure in the league is very small, and winning or losing is no longer the primary requirement.

Sevilla and Real Madrid have never dealt with each other. Although they do not have the same hostile relationship as Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, they are both disliked by each other.

In the midweek lore against Chelsea, the Real Madrid team averaged more than ten kilometers.

Serious consumption also made Real Madrid's performance in this game mediocre.

This season, Sevilla was eliminated by the Premier League West Ham United in the Europa League round of 16, so they have more energy to prepare for the league.

After the start of the game, Sevilla took advantage of the home court and took the lead.

In the 20th and 24th minutes, Sevilla led the poor Real Madrid 2-0 at home with the goals of Rakitic and Lamela.

In the second half, Ancelotti dispatched Rossi to replace Vinicius, who was in average form, to strengthen the wing attack.

In the 46th minute, Real Madrid took advantage of the fact that the opponent had not yet entered the game state at the beginning, and Rossi assisted Benzema to push and score in front of the goal.

Three minutes later, it was Rossi again. After attracting the defense on the left side of the penalty area, he passed the ball back to the center in an inverted triangle to help Benzema score twice.

In the first half, Sevilla made two consecutive hits in 4 minutes, which made Real Madrid a little discouraged.

In the second half, Rossi launched a counterattack and scored two consecutive goals in 3 minutes, killing and punishing.

I thought the game would end in a draw.

In the 89th minute, Rossi made a point in the penalty area and Real Madrid won the lore penalty.

Benzema withstood the pressure and scored a free throw. While completing a hat-trick, he also surpassed Rossi in the scorer list and became the top scorer in La Liga so far this season.

In the post-match interview, Rossi did not show any dissatisfaction because the top scorer position was replaced. Instead, he happily hugged Benzema and shared his joy with him.

This scene made the Real Madrid locker room more stable.

Since this summer is the World Cup season, the major leagues have sped up their schedules. Originally, a single match a week has been adjusted to a double match a week, which will undoubtedly increase the fatigue of the players.

Real Madrid will play 16 games in the next 4 days, with a ball every 4 days.

Among them, the two rounds of the Champions League semi-final against Manchester City are the top priority.

In the Champions League final last season, Real Madrid defeated Manchester City 3-0 and successfully defended the Champions League title.

In terms of strength on paper, Manchester City last season was no worse than Real Madrid, even higher than Real Madrid.

This season, Manchester City's overall strength has improved to another level, while Real Madrid's lineup and bench depth are not much different from last season.

In addition, in the last few strong dialogues, whether it was Barcelona, ​​Chelsea or Sevilla, Real Madrid was at the last moment of the game and passed the thrilling pass.

Facing Manchester City, whose lineup structure and status have stabilized, can Real Madrid still perform miracles?
Before the game against Osasuna, Real Madrid added the names of Carvajal, Casemiro, Mendy, Marcelo and others to the injured list.

Fortunately, these people were all slightly injured, and they were able to come back before the Champions League semi-finals, which dispelled Ancelotti's worries.

In this battle, Real Madrid played with half of the main force, Rossi started 65 minutes.

Although playing with a semi-main lineup, Real Madrid uses the new three midfielders composed of Ceballos, Camavinga, and Valverde to rely on impact to suppress the opponent's speed.

In the first half, Real Madrid led 2:0 and almost sealed the victory.

In the second half, Real Madrid still had a strong control. Rossi made two points in the penalty area, and he could almost clock out of get off work early.

But Benzema's two free throws were bravely saved by Osasuna's goalkeeper.

It's a save, not a shot.

This reflects Benzema's current careless mentality after becoming the top scorer.

Although Vazquez later extended Real Madrid's score to 3:0, Benzema's sluggish state can't help but make fans worry about the Champions League semi-finals at the Etihad Stadium four days later.

[See you soon!The goalkeeper who scored three goals was actually named the best player in the game! 】

Seemingly touting the goalkeeper is actually a mockery of Benzema.

The Real Madrid coaching team also discussed this matter in the meeting.

If a penalty kick is awarded in a crucial game, will Benzema still be the first penalty shooter?

Penalty kicks are an excellent opportunity for strikers to increase the number of goals scored.

But there are also many forwards who dare not stand on the penalty spot because of their mentality.

Benzema's two penalty kicks were saved. If it is said that it will not cause psychological impact, it is absolutely impossible.

Real Madrid's future games are related to the two fronts of the league and the Champions League, and penalty kicks cannot be lost. Can Benzema bear this pressure?
"You mean to let Luo Lai play?"

Ancelotti understood what they meant.

They don't want to take away Benzema's penalty kick forever, but because now is a critical time, and there is no extra chance for Benzema to adjust.

Temporarily transition to Rossi, and then slowly help him adjust after the season is over.

This is not a way.

But doing so may directly affect Benzema's confidence.

After Ronaldo left, Benzema, who was finally able to take the lead alone, became the absolute thigh of the team.

After Rossi came, he thought he would be overshadowed by his brilliance, but he exploded this season and became the forward with the most goals in the team.

If he is deprived of the power to take penalty kicks now, I am afraid that with his personality, he will feel that he is a supporting role and hide his edge again.

Thinking of this, Ancelotti rejected the proposal to cancel Benzema's first penalty shooter and chose to support him without reservation.

On Monday afternoon, after Real Madrid finished training at the training base, they took the bus directly to the airport and flew directly to Manchester City.

Arriving at Manchester City one day in advance is to allow the players to adapt to the climate and venue here in advance and prepare for the upcoming game.

That night, after the Real Madrid team arrived in Manchester, they went directly to the hotel where they stayed.

In order to let the players have a good rest, the chairman of Real Madrid booked two hotel rooms in the hotel.

In addition to resting for players and staff, the remaining rooms are used as physical therapy rooms and entertainment rooms, allowing players to completely relax physically and mentally.

"Karim, look!"

Rossi massaged Benzema's legs with a cupping jar, pointed to the black and purple spots and said, "This color shows that your leg muscles are not only tired, but also have a lot of moisture."

"The humidity makes you feel very heavy all over your body, and your legs are not as flexible as before. This may be the reason why you can't kick penalty kicks!"

Benzema can naturally hear such comforting words.

"Luo, actually I don't really want to take penalty kicks. It's just that the coach insisted on making me take penalty kicks."

This is true.

After Benzema moved to Real Madrid, the team's first penalty shooter was Ronaldo.

After Ronaldo left, Ramos became the team's first choice for penalty kicks.

He also officially became the first penalty shooter after becoming the captain of Real Madrid this season.

"You are the captain, and you are also a striker. This is the tradition of Real Madrid, and the captain must shoulder the responsibility!"

Benzema actually doesn't want to be the captain because he doesn't have the captain's competitiveness on the court.

He can only use goals to silently motivate his teammates.

"How about I punish you later?"

Rossi immediately put on a disgusted look, and said, "Come on, I don't do thankless things. The pressure will make me short of breath and sweat."

"You know me, try not to sweat if you can! Why do you want me to work more? You want to be lazy?"

Benzema scolded with a smile: "Fuck you, you want to be lazy!"

Then he paused, and continued: "Maybe it's because you don't care, that's why there is no pressure on the penalty kick, and you can score 100%."

Rossi hurriedly said: "Thank you for your open mouth. I hope that my penalty kick win rate in Real Madrid will always be 100%, so you have to work hard!"
