Being able to be selected for the list of twenty people, Chu Ge was also quite surprised.

At Valdebebas, Chu Ge trained with the first-team players for almost a week.

In this week's training, he fully showed his characteristics.

As for whether he can impress head coach Ancelotti, Chu Ge is not sure in his heart.

He knows that Real Madrid's next round opponent is Atletico Madrid.

This is the derby battle in the capital of Spain, the city of Madrid.

As the derby approached, Chu Ge's mood was very calm.

Because he didn't think that in this game, manager Carlo Ancelotti would really put his name on the squad for the game.

Outcome......

On February 6, after training, Ancelotti announced the list of 20 men who were preparing for Atletico Madrid in front of everyone.

Immediately, Real Madrid's official website announced the list of these 20 people.

Goalkeepers: Casillas, Navas, Pacheco.

Defenders: Varane, Coentrão, Carvajal, Arbeloa, Nacho, Diego Llorente.

Midfielders: Khedira, Kroos, Bale, Lucas Silva, Isco, Ilya Ramendi.

Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Hernandez, Jesse.

This is a total of 19 people.

There is another person, it is Chu Ge!

When Ancelotti announced the roster at the training ground, Chu Ge was taken aback.

He was a little surprised.

However, if you think about it, it makes sense.

First of all, the twenty-man list is not the final list.

There were eleven main players and seven substitutes in the game, and there were only eighteen in total.

In other words, only 18 players in the 20-man squad will be selected for the official derby line-up.

There are still two players who need to be eliminated.

Secondly, Chu Ge is not the only Castile player selected for this squad.

His team-mate at Castilla, acclaimed talented centre-back Diego Llorente, was also named in the squad.

This is not the first time that a young player from Castilla has been named in the squad for the tournament.

As Real Madrid's reserve squad, it is not uncommon for good members of them to be drawn to the first team.

It's just that, compared to other coaches, Ancelotti is more conservative.

And even the conservative Carlo Ancelotti once recruited a Castilla player in the second round of this season and entered the first-team list.

That's Raul DeThomas.

De Tomas not only made the squad, but also ended up on the bench.

In that game, De Tomas secretly observed for 90 minutes and almost fell asleep on the bench. Carlo Ancelotti didn't think of him until the end of the game.

In this round of the game, in the Madrid derby, Ancelotti recruited two youth players, not because he suddenly opened his mind and fell in love with Yang Zhengtai, but because he had recently encountered a problem.

Real Madrid's first team is full of wounded soldiers.

Pre-game.

The newspaper Asas made a statistic.

In this game, Real Madrid has a full five main players and cannot play.

James Rodriguez, who played well some time ago, was injured in the last game against Sevilla.

He fractured the fifth metatarsal in his right foot and needed surgery.

Also injured in the last game was Ramos.

The centre-back played just six minutes before going off injured.

After the game, Real Madrid's team doctor diagnosed Ramos with a torn thigh ligament that would take five to six weeks to recover.

In addition to these two new wounded, they also have two old wounded.

Pepe suffered a rib injury in the second leg of the Copa del Rey match with Atletico Madrid and has not yet recovered.

Luka Modric has a more serious injury and could not be back in action for a month or two.

Marcelo was uninjured.

But he has accumulated yellow cards, is suspended for one game and will miss the Madrid derby.

Before this game, Real Madrid had been appealing for Marcelo's yellow card, hoping that Marcelo would be able to participate in the Madrid derby, and at one point included Marcelo's name in the squad.

Unfortunately, the Spanish Football Federation rejected Real Madrid's application.

Therefore, they had to temporarily use Chu Ge to replace Marcelo in the squad.

In addition, Casillas had some muscle fatigue.

Casey was able to play in this derby, but he was not in the best condition.

On the other hand, Atletico Madrid, although they also have injuries now, the main plastic surgery is basically neat.

Obviously, Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone has done a better job of rotation than Carlo Ancelotti.

Therefore, Marca newspaper "attributed" such a large number of injuries to Real Madrid due to the conservatism of Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti.

The Marca newspaper made such statistics.

"The Real Madrid players are so tired!"

"This season, there are already nine players in Real Madrid's first-team team, more than 2,000 minutes on the pitch."

'With the arrival of Lucas Silva, Carlo Ancelotti has 23 players at his disposal, 14 of whom are regular.

"Those who played more than 2,000 minutes were Kroos (2,727), Cristiano Ronaldo (2,600), Bale (2,479), Benzema (2,476), Cassie (2,430), Marcelo (2,409), Ramos (2,394), Ronaldo (2,374), Isco (2,134)."

'Luka Modric played 1,409 minutes before he was injured.

"Among them, Cristiano Ronaldo was suspended because of the recent red card turmoil, and he did not play two games."

"Otherwise, the Portuguese star will play even longer."

"And Kroos, who played the longest time, also played in the World Cup last summer, from the group stage to the final."

"Correspondingly, Real Madrid's substitutes have very little playing time."

"Twenty-one rounds of the league have been played, Nacho (625 minutes), Coentrão (627 minutes), Little Pea (527 minutes) and Khedira (432 minutes), these players have not played a lot."

"And Jesus, who has returned from injury, has only played 163 minutes."

It was against this backdrop that Carlo Ancelotti recruited two Castillan youngsters, Chugo and Diego Llorente.

There aren't many people under him to choose from.

Knowing that Chu Ge had entered the list of Madrid derby, the media in China was boiling again.

The last time Chu Ge was just in the first team, they reported on it with great fanfare.

This time, Chu Ge entered the competition squad.

And it's also a squad for the Madrid derby.

The excitement of the media can be imagined.

Not only the media, but also the fans of Real Madrid, as well as the Chinese fans who follow Chu Ge, are very excited.

Such passion was soon manifested in the most direct way.

On Real Madrid's official website, the inventory of hundreds of Chu Ge jerseys was swept away by enthusiastic Chinese fans in just a few hours.

The order call went directly to the office of the general manager of Real Madrid.

On Taobao, Chu Ge's No. 23 genuine jersey is hard to find.

Even, all kinds of Thai jerseys have begun to sell well.

February 6th.

That is, the day before the Madrid derby.

Lin Murong posted on Weibo.
