In response to the problems exposed by the team in the first half, at the suggestion of Manuel Pellegrini, Real Madrid signed French midfielder Lars from Portsmouth for 20 million euros during the winter break. Diarra.

It's a good signing, Ricardo thinks, and the fans see hope that the team will pick themselves up.

But another signing made Ricardo unhappy.

Huntelaar joined from Ajax for €27 million.

Is the team too much money to spend? Now the team uses the 4231 formation the most, and it is enough to have 2 or 3 strikers. But now Ronaldo, Van Nistelrooy, Higuain, Raul, the team has 4 center forwards, and center forwards have been introduced! It's really too much to eat!

If you want to spend money, why don't you buy a better guard?

What is the state of Cannavaro, everyone has eyes. Pepe did well, but he couldn't stand it alone. Sergio Ramos is good at centre-back, but he is needed at right-back now.

Heinze, Metzelde...... Forget it. Garay? For the time being, it has not played a performance that matches its value.

But Ricardo is just a player, and he has no right to say anything about the team's transfer policy.

In the blink of an eye, 2009 came, and the second half of the league began.

In January and February, Real Madrid showed some signs of recovery, with new signing Lars Murphy. Diarra is worthy of being black and hard, helping Real Madrid to straighten their backs.

In eight league games, Real Madrid won eight in a row, against difficult opponents such as Villarreal, Deportivo La Coruna and Real Betis.

New signing Huntelaar was not able to continue the success of his predecessor Ruud van Nistelrooy at Real Madrid.

Thankfully, there are also Ricardo and Kaka. Ricardo was on fire, scoring 13 goals in eight games and contributing to the team's 24 points. His tally of league goals this season has reached 37, just one goal away from equalling the record.

At the end of 24 rounds, Real Madrid's points reached 54 points, and the ranking also rushed to second place.

Barcelona have won the first six of these eight games, but their form has slipped in the last two, with one draw and one defeat against Betis and Espanyol, and they are currently on 60 points, just six points ahead of Real Madrid.

This gives Real Madrid a glimmer of hope.

6 points, but a difference of 2 games.

If they can win Barcelona at home in the national derby, if Barcelona make one or two more mistakes, Real Madrid can pull off a miracle!

The morale of the whole Real Madrid team was boosted.

Ronaldo wasn't happy, though. He has not yet completed the contract extension, and privately he said to Ricardo: "I regret now that I didn't have surgery last year, and now I feel out of shape all the time, and I always have small injuries. ”

"Here, I'm afraid it's hard for me to play in the main force again. The club probably didn't want to keep me with a high salary. So, I've decided to go on a free transfer at the end of the season. ”

This season, in 24 league games, he has only started 5 times and made 7 substitute appearances, which is really embarrassing for him as the current football leader.

At the end of the season, he was almost 33 years old, almost in the late stages of his professional career.

Especially as a striker player, 33 years old, and overhauled, it is normal to consider retirement.

Ricardo fully understands his decision. He only said, "You go, I will go." ”

"You're still young, you can win a few more championships here, why bother?" Ronaldo persuaded him instead.

Ricardo replied with a domineering remark: "I can win the championship anywhere." ”

Ronaldo was silent.

As for where to go, Ronaldo has not yet decided. Farah is actively reaching out to the biggest names in Europe.

Of course, it is a giant, although he is 33 years old, the current football king will only choose to join the giants.

Isn't it a discount to go to a second- or third-rate team?

Ronaldo told Ricardo his plan that he would choose a big club this time, sign a 1+1 contract, and be 35 years old in 2 years, and then go to a second-class team, or choose to retire directly.

"Zidane only played until he was 34 years old, so I played one more year than him." He grinned.

Ricardo was a little uncomfortable. He can't see the beauty in the twilight, and the hero is white-headed.

On February 25, Real Madrid hosted Liverpool. This is the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Unlike Real Madrid, who struggled in the group stage, Liverpool were placed in Group D, with Atletico Madrid, Marseille and PSV Eindhoven in the same group not weak, while Liverpool appeared unbeaten with 4 wins and 2 draws.

Of course, now facing the defending champions, Liverpool have shown enough caution.

They put on a counter-attacking posture, with the golden boy Torres using his pace to constantly threaten Real Madrid's defence.

Torres, who used to play for Atletico Madrid, was particularly energetic when he met Real Madrid, as if he had returned to the Madrid derby, and he was as vigorous as taking medicine.

On Real Madrid's side, Huntelaar did not have the trust of Pellegrini, and the teenager Higuain played as the starting striker.

In the 18th minute, he scored a goal from a clever pass from Licardo, but it was ruled offside.

Real Madrid didn't dare to commit too many troops to attack because Liverpool's counter-attack was a real pain in their heads.

However, Ricardo and Kaka still teamed up to put on a good show, in the 41st minute, the two played together continuously, and finally Kaka passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area, Licardo plugged in at high speed, and pushed the ball directly without stopping, breaking through the gate guarded by Reina.

But Real Madrid didn't have the last laugh. In the 82nd minute, Benayoun equalised for Liverpool with a header.

Real Madrid picked up an embarrassing 1-1 at home.

Fortunately, back in the league, Real Madrid did not drop the chain.

On the evening of March 1, at the Olympic Stadium, thousands of Real Madrid fans who came to the away stadium had not been quiet since the first minute of the game, singing loudly the improvised arrangement of the song "Forward, Ricardo", hoping to see Ricardo equalize the record.

What's more, they want to see their team emerge victorious and close the score again. In the previous fixture, Barcelona lost 3-4 away to Atletico Madrid.

Real Madrid fans have never been so grateful to their local rivals, and now a win will close the gap to three points and rekindle their hopes for the league title.

In the cheers of the fans, in the 63rd minute of the game, Ricardo took a direct free kick to break the net, increasing his league goal tally to 38, tying the predecessor Ugo. Sanchez's record.

The fans at the scene shouted frantically: "Ricardo, one more!" ”

Ricardo lived up to the expectations of the fans. In the 81st minute, he received a return pass from Marcelo, took a step to the top of the penalty area, and then suddenly got up with his foot and fired coldly, and the ball rolled into the bottom left corner of the goal.

39 goals, a new record was born.
