striker cool brother

"Luo, how do you feel after being away from the competition for a long time?"

After the morning training, Ancelotti found Rossi to talk.

Judging from the test data given by Pintus, Rossi's body has not returned to its optimal condition after two months of rest.

Rossi was excluded from the starting lineup for the weekend match against Espanyol.

This is no surprise.

A long period of recuperation will make players unfamiliar with the rhythm of the game, which will take some time to adjust.

What needs to be adjusted most is the mentality of the players.

Many players have suffered a serious decline in condition after injury. First, the playing style will continue to cause damage to the body, causing physical function to begin to decline.

The second is the mental barrier. The fear of getting injured again leads to the fear of making moves on the court.

Another point is that he is replaced by other players.

While Rossi was recuperating from injury, Real Madrid used Vinicius, Benzema and Rodrygo as the starting striker combination and performed well.

In the two months of competition, there were 14 wins, 10 draws and 3 loss in 1 games. The league, Copa del Rey and Champions League went hand in hand, showing a strong momentum.

But the real situation is that although Real Madrid without Rossi can win, Ancelotti is worried about winning.

A sense of urgency of being tied by his opponent at any time lingered in An Pang's heart.

Entering the sprint phase in May, the outcome of any game will be a key battle for whether Real Madrid can win the Triple Crown this season.

Ancelotti, don't be careless.

Rossi also noticed that his body was still not used to it during the training session.

After all, this is the first time he has been away from the court for such a long time due to injury.

And after switching to medium-to-high-intensity training, Rossi obviously felt that his left ankle was a little tight and not as soft as before.

This may be the physical and psychological shadow left behind after being injured.

The Copa del Rey final was originally planned to be held in the middle of next week. Since the two sides are Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the Spanish Football Association has arranged this highlight a week after the end of the league.

This not only gives Real Madrid more time and energy to prepare for the Champions League semi-finals, but also makes this Copa del Rey full of "revenge" elements.

In the current La Liga standings, Real Madrid and Barcelona have the same points. After two rounds of the round robin, Real Madrid ranks first with one win and one draw.

No matter who wins the final league championship, the Copa del Rey final will be a battle of honor and revenge.

This also gave Rossi ample recovery time.

In the match against Espanyol, Real Madrid suffered tenacious and crazy pressure from their opponents.

Real Madrid, who are in no condition, have only 47% ball possession rate.

Modric and Kroos left the field early to conserve their energy to prepare for the game against Manchester City.

The situation was already very unfavorable, and Real Madrid suffered another blow in the 75th minute.

Carvajal turned two yellows and one red and was sent off the court, causing Real Madrid to fight with ten men in the next 15 minutes.

Faced with a sharp decline, Ancelotti could only replace defensive players to increase running and defensive coverage.

Rossi has almost no chance to play.

In the end, Real Madrid managed to keep the tie with ten men in the away game.

Real Madrid tied, which was a perfect opportunity for Barcelona to overtake the score.

However, Barcelona also encountered stubborn resistance from the opponent and also ended in a draw.

Give you a chance and you don’t want it.

After the game, the Spanish media made such bold predictions that Barcelona may have missed the last chance to top the list.

The La Liga leader, who had a near miss, finally got a week of rest and adjustment time.

In order to allow Rossi to adapt as soon as possible, assistant coach Davide, joint physical fitness coach Pintus, sports science director Beniamino Fulco, physical therapist Jose Carlos, data analyst Montanaro and private Doctor Lucena developed a professional and detailed exercise program.The six people paid attention to Rossi's training status around the clock, followed up on daily data reports in a timely manner, and adjusted the training recovery plan.

This is also an unprecedented 6-on-1 service for players in the history of Real Madrid.

Real Madrid team doctor James, who was not involved, was unhappy.

Due to diagnostic errors, Real Madrid's medical team, which had a poor reputation, suffered another blow.

Real Madrid players have begun to question the quality of the team's medical care. Captain Benzema even went directly to the chairman's office, hoping to replace the team doctor.

Although James is a direct descendant of Florentino, the negative impact of this misdiagnosis on the team is too serious.

Disappointed and helpless, Florentino could only let James temporarily leave the team in the name of vacation.

As for whether he can come back next season, everything will have to wait until the end of the season.

After finishing training at the training base on Monday, Real Madrid took a bus to Madrid Barajas Airport in the afternoon and boarded a special flight to Manchester City.

Manchester City is one of the teams that Real Madrid has been familiar with in the Champions League in recent years, and it is also the club that ranks first in Europe in terms of paper strength.

This season, the addition of Norwegian center Haaland is the last piece of the puzzle for Guardiola's perfect lineup.

There is no need to adapt to the rhythm and confrontation of the Premier League. Haaland scored a terrifying 30 goals in 32 games for Manchester City.

And this season is not over yet, and his number of goals is still rising.

Fans exclaimed with high efficiency in scoring goals that the Premier League needs to adapt to Haaland.

Since the rise of Manchester City, the Champions League has become their ultimate goal.

It is an important weight to take away the label of "pseudo rich family".

Prior to this, they met Real Madrid many times in the Champions League knockout rounds.

I originally thought it would be a close and blockbuster showdown, but it turned out that Real Madrid used their rich Champions League experience to suppress them crazily and finally reversed the game.

The offensive and defensive battle between the two teams last season kept countless fans awake at night.

Guardiola is constantly summarizing the lessons and experiences of failures, continuing to rebuild the team, optimize the lineup, and innovate tactics.

After the overhaul, Manchester City still maintains a strong upward momentum this season and is the favorite team to win the Triple Crown this season.

Real Madrid, which is also moving towards the goal of winning the Triple Crown, has been a bit bumpy in the process.

Rossi's injury in the second half made Real Madrid even more difficult.

Fortunately, during the two months of Rossi's truce, the overall strength of Real Madrid's opponents was not strong.

Coupled with Barcelona's "favour not to kill" at the critical moment, Real Madrid smoothly passed through the dangerous period.

This Champions League semi-final may be the last battle to determine the final Champions League championship.

Last summer, Guardiola eliminated many players who were not good at playing tough games, including Fernandinho, Zinchenko, Sterling, Jesus, and Cancelo.

By introducing Haaland, Alvarez, Akanji, Carwin, etc. to strengthen the lineup, Manchester City has the confidence and strength to win the first Champions League championship in team history.

Real Madrid's signings in several seasons can be described as "ill-fated".

Apart from Rossi, Real Madrid has not made a transfer that shocked the world of football in recent years.

By introducing young players and tapping the residual value of old players, Real Madrid completed the replacement of old and new players in a slow and steady pace.

Miraculously, with such signings, Real Madrid was able to complete three consecutive Champions League wins and five titles, which is a miracle in itself.

This season, Real Madrid has actually maintained its ability to fight on the third front. There is no doubt about Ancelotti's ability to integrate the team's resources.

Among them, Rossi plays a key central role.

Some media concluded that 75% of Rossi's goals were scored when Real Madrid was lagging behind.

The king of reversals is understandable.
