After a thrilling weekend, Real Madrid had their first training session of the new week.

The return of captain Sergio Ramos has greatly calmed the players' uneasy mood as they prepare for the game against Chelsea in two days' time.

The physical and mental fatigue of the players from the two games in a week is alluded to on the training ground.

Throughout the morning, the overall excitement of the Real Madrid players was not high, and the results of various aptitude tests regressed as usual.

For this, Pintus frowned.

In order to better recover the players' condition, all the afternoon training sessions were stopped and replaced with physiotherapy for the players to recover from physical fatigue.

Benzema once again felt the mysterious totem of the East, and more than a dozen purple-black circular patterns appeared on his back.

Cupping, one of Benzema's favorite treatments.

There is no need to ask for a Chinese medicine doctor outside, Rosie made a set for him.

"Luo, you are too godly, you can actually do this."

After the treatment, Benzema enjoyed the pain of cupping and felt happy.

"It's nothing, only familiar with it!"

Cupping is actually not difficult, as long as it is aimed at the acupuncture points on the back.

Since he was a child, he has watched the uncle next door give cupping, and over time it will be, as a family physiotherapy technique.

This is just a rudimentary cupping, which belongs to the literary.

There is also a method of cupping with martial arts, which is the so-called "cupping".

It is necessary to push back and forth to the plucked area until the skin of the plucked area is ruddy, congested, or even bruised.

Rossi tried his knife, Benzema screamed, and his teammates saw Benzema's painful and happy expression and were eager to try.

"If you want to try it, go take a shower first, and then line up!"

Formal physiotherapy has become a health class.

In Tuesday morning's training session, the Real Madrid players were in better shape and the quality of training improved, which made Zidane feel a lot more relieved.

After a short lunch break, all Real Madrid players took a bus from the training base to the airport.

In order to better prepare for the game, Real Madrid arrived in London a day earlier to save the players from the fatigue of traveling.

The pre-match training session is also held at a course near the hotel.

At this stage, Real Madrid's tactics have matured and there are not many changes.

The only change is the defensive problems that plague Zidane.

In the second half of the season, Real Madrid's defence suffered a serious wave of injuries.

In addition to Nacho, the defenders have been unavailable due to injuries one after another.

Ramos's return to the line of fire has solved Zidane's biggest headache at the moment, but it does not mean that Real Madrid can sit back and relax.

Ramos, who has just turned 35, can play steadily in the first game after returning from injury, no one dares to pack a ticket.

It was also Mendy's first game since returning from injury.

With such an important game, Zidane had to think twice.

On Wednesday morning, the day of the match, Zinedine Zidane announced the start of the game.

Goalkeeper: Thibaut Courtois.

Defence: Friend Mendy, Ramos, Militão, Nacho.

Midfielders: Toni Kroos, Casemiro, Modric.

Forwards: Rossi, Benzema, Gareth Bale.

This lineup does not seem to be much different from before, but Zidane has made some tactical adjustments.

The first was a change at the back, with Sergio Ramos appearing in a relatively unfamiliar position at a central defender.

Because the only hole in Real Madrid's current defense is on the right side where Nacho is located.

Considering Militão's ability to play on the side, Zidane moved to the right centre-back position with better fitness to help Nacho defend the right.

As Ramos, who dragged back the central defender, Zidane's requirement for him is not to easily grab and leave the defensive position.

With three midfielders, Zidane didn't give much advice, just let them take more care of defense.

Casemiro has the ability to attack from behind, and in this game, try not to play if you can.

As for the BBL combination on the front line, this game is also defense-oriented.

When necessary, go back to the back and participate in the defense.

Zidane's arrangement is undoubtedly a defensive-oriented style of play, and it is quite conservative.

In terms of speed and assault ability, Vinicius and Rodrygo are superior.

Zidane would rather give up the speed of counterattacks and stabilize the situation with defense, which shows that Chelsea's attack has brought a lot of trouble to Real Madrid.

Valverde, who has been on a hot streak of late, was not included in the starting line-up, but he could be used as a back-up for Zinedine Zidane to come off the bench in the second half.

At half past six in the afternoon, the buses of both sides arrived at the gate of Stamford Bridge on time, and under the cheers of the fans, they entered the stadium to warm up.

It's been five years since the last visit to the Bridge, when Leicester City won thanks to goals from Rossi and Vardy.

It was precisely because of this victory that Mourinho was the trigger for his dismissal.

Chelsea fans have not been friendly to Rossi.

Not only is the match hostile, but Rossi has a nickname that makes Chelsea fans deeply jealous.

"King of London!"

Against the London team, Rossi always scored goals and won the game.

What really made the nickname famous was Rossi's two massacres against London teams in the Champions League for Bayern.

11：3、11：4！

The two dazzling scores have made Arsenal and Tottenham fans unable to let go of it to this day.

As the team with the highest winning percentage in the London derby, Chelsea are determined to defend the skies of London.

Pixie shows up in the VIP room to watch the game.

Thomas Tuchel made two changes to his starting XI.

The first is to adjust the formation to 3-4-2-1 and strengthen the attack in midfield.

Then it was the youngster Kai Havertz who started in place of Christian Pulisic.

In addition to the regular three centre-backs switching to a back five, Chelsea will present an irregular 4-3-3 when attacking.

Due to N'Golo Kante's defensive coverage, Chelsea's attacking direction for this game was on the left.

Toni Rudiger moved to left wing-back and allowed wing-back Ben Chilwell to press forward.

Jorginho and Mason Mount, meanwhile, will appear on the left flank to form a strong edge and suppress Real Madrid's attack on the right.

Ten minutes into the game, Chelsea attacked heavily on the left, holding Bale at the back and unable to move.

Hazard is in his prime, and the combination of man and ball and the change of direction at a fast frequency have made Real Madrid a lot of noise in front of the goal.

Zinedine Zidane tried to recycle the formation and compress the distance between the defences in order to limit Hazard's space to move.

But Rudiger's furious shot from outside the box hit the post, sending the Real Madrid players shudder.

At the critical moment, it depends on Ramos.

He commanded the defence with bold presence, leaving wide players ready to step forward and counter Chelsea.

That is, Ramos has such courage and self-confidence.

If you take one more step, you risk being scolded by the manager.

Real Madrid's formation premise, there is also the benefit that the space at the back is freed up.

The tight-knit defence did limit Hazard's movement, but for a defender like Sergio Ramos, who likes to attack and attack, being tucked into tight spaces at the back was hard for him to accept.

Ramos is confident he can defend Hazard alone.

In the 12th minute, Ramos was on the defensive, anticipating Hazard's movements in advance and cutting the ball off with a clean tackle.

Subsequently, Ramos showed his level of long passing and gave it to Bale in the front end.

This is Real Madrid's signature defensive counterattack to successfully defend the Champions League title.

Everything has to be based on solid defense in order to be converted into offense.

Bale dribbled past half-time before curling a cross close to the ground and through Ben Chilwell and Rudiger.

Rossi stepped forward quickly and collared the ball in front of him on the first touch.

This collar is to improve the speed of the attack, avoid stopping the ball on the spot, and give the defender time to chase back.

But as soon as the ball left his feet, Thiago Silva slotted out from his side and kicked the ball wide off the touchline.

The two collided and fell to the ground.

[Wow, fast-paced offensive and defensive transformation, both teams showed amazing strength and excellent form! ] 】

[Thiago Silva didn't spare his hand at all, didn't give Real Madrid any chance! ] 】

Because he knows who he is facing! 】

[Rosie is definitely an opportunist! 】

[If Thiago didn't grab the first shot, then with Rossi's speed, it would have passed, forming a single knife! ] 】

[The duel between the two may dominate the outcome of this game! ] 】
