Chapter 614: Milestone Goal, Spear and Shield Meet

The victory in the national derby has completely dispelled the concerns of the club and the fans about Ancelotti.

Real Madrid, the game is not only good-looking, but also can win by a big score, which is what Meilinger fans want to see.

But the match with Osasuna a week later made Real Madrid, a battle-experienced general, frustrated again.

In the face of the opponent's swing bus, Real Madrid tried their best and was unable to knock on the opponent's fans.

Modric frequently tried to shoot from distance on the periphery, but he was either off the post or with an anti-aircraft gun.

Valverde lacked precision and was directly blocked by the opposition defender.

Although Rossi had a "cloud-piercing arrow", it was difficult to find a kick in front of the big penalty area in the face of Osasuna's bus.

It wasn't until stoppage time that he had a chance to shoot from distance.

But the ball hit the crossbar hard and bounced off the bottom line, unfortunately missing the stunner.

Despite being forced to draw by their opponents, Real Madrid is still the best performing team in this round of La Liga giants.

Barcelona lost 0:1 to Rayo Vallecano,

Atletico drew 2:2 with Levante,

Sevilla 1:1 draw Mallorca,

Valencia defeated Real Betis 1:4,

Villarreal 3:3 Pincádiz.

The traditional powerhouses of La Liga in this round were all ruled to death by the opponent's swing bus.

In the next round against Elche, Carlo Ancelotti rotated his starting XI in preparation for the Champions League in midweek.

Mariano replaces the injured Karim Benzema and partners Rossi.

The result of the game was naturally unsuspenseful, but one thing that angered Real Madrid fans came in second-half stoppage time.

At this time, Real Madrid had won 3:0 against the opponent, and Rossi was willing to be a green leaf in this game and assisted his teammates to score.

In the 93rd minute, Real Madrid counterattacked, Mariano made a long-distance run and forced a 1v2 shot to miss, but it was not passed to Rossi, who followed up.

This made Real Madrid fans very angry.

Could it be that after working hard all night in a supporting role, he doesn't even deserve a goal?

This problem was also infinitely amplified by the media after the game, mapping to the Real Madrid dressing room problem.

Since Ramos left, the Real Madrid dressing room has been without a composure.

The local gang, the French gang, and the Brazilian gang are all over each other.

Although Ancelotti is good at mediating the dressing room, he is still slightly inferior to Zidane.

As the situation fermented, Mariano explained in public that he wanted to prove himself too much, so he chose to shoot and apologized to Rossi for this.

And Rossi didn't respond until the eve of the match against Shakhtar Donetsk.

"It's normal for him to be caught between two opponents and not see me."

In a simple sentence, the contradiction between the two was hyped by the media, and it also indirectly pointed out Mariano's shortcomings.

With the ball, he likes to bow his head and not look at the position of his teammates.

At home to Shakhtar Donetsk, Real Madrid are on the verge of an important record.

The team's 1,000th goal in Champions League history.

Who will be the one to complete this meaningful goal?

In the 25th minute, after Rossi successfully countered offside outside the penalty area, he was about to pass the goalkeeper but was put to the ground.

Penalty kick!

Real Madrid's first penalty taker was Karim Benzema, and this time, he conceded the penalty opportunity to Rossi.

It will also be Rossi's first penalty for Real Madrid.

Without the help of penalty kicks, Rossi's goals for two consecutive seasons can be on par with Messi, which shows his terrifying offensive firepower.

[This penalty is taken by Rossi!] 】

[Look at the quality of his main penalty!] 】

[Not playing a penalty for two consecutive seasons is a serious test for the players!] 】

[Especially this penalty is very significant, and the pressure will follow!] 】

After Rossi set up the ball, he took a deep breath, then stared straight ahead, his eyes gradually fierce, and his left foot slammed into the ground.

A big shot?

The tightness of the muscles in his legs during the run, and Rossi's accumulation, made the goalkeeper conclude that it was a powerful volley.

Right!

As soon as Rossi touched the ball, the goalkeeper quickly moved towards his right-hand side.

But the unexpected happened.

Rossi didn't shoot straight at goal, but tapped the ball across to Benzema, who stepped forward from just outside the box.

Damn!!!

The goalkeeper scolded that the opposite side was not a person, and pounced on Benzema with a rolling belt.

But Benzema didn't shoot either, sending the ball back to Rossi.

Rossi then scored Real Madrid's 1,000th goal in the Champions League.

[Wow, this is a penalty kick cooperation!] 】

[Who would have thought that the 1,000th goal in the history of Real Madrid was actually scored in such a way! ] 】

[Rossi even kicks a penalty, thinking about how to save energy! 】

[This chic style of playing makes the opposing players hate it so much! ] 】

Rossi's fancy penalty completely angered Shakhtar Donetsk, and as soon as the game resumed, they launched an attack and vowed revenge.

But after just one attack, the ball never stayed at their feet for more than three minutes.

Real Madrid also completed the double kill of Shakhtar 3-0, and at the same time avenged last season's one-shot revenge.

In the subsequent game, Real Madrid led by Ancelotti ushered in a wave of consecutive wins.

Whether it is Sevilla, Real Sociedad, or Athletic Bilbao, these teams with a tenacious and tough style have only gone through three rounds in the hands of Real Madrid, and they have been knocked off the horse one by one.

In the Champions League, Real Madrid is also as stable as ever, defeating the Sheriffs and Inter Milan in succession, and securing the top spot in the group ahead of schedule without any suspense.

Unbeaten in 18 league games, Real Madrid has reached the top of the standings with a record of 16 wins and 2 draws in the new season, and is 7 points ahead of second-place Barcelona and 10 points ahead of third-place Atletico Madrid.

The last opponent in the halfway is the city team Atletico Madrid.

Whether Real Madrid can complete the half-way unbeaten streak is a crucial battle that must be won.

Simeone was under a lot of pressure.

It wasn't the first time he'd felt this way.

He felt like he couldn't escape the domination of Barcelona and Real Madrid.

It used to be Messi, a man who couldn't be happy even if he scored a goal.

Now it's Rosie, the man he never celebrates with the reverse Gaia cannon again.

First of all, Atletico Madrid have been left behind by Real Madrid in the standings.

In the second half, as long as Real Madrid has no accidents, the league title will be his.

Then, Atletico Madrid's investment in the transfer window is better than that of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

There is no shortage of big-name stars in the team lineup.

Shenfeng Suarez, the former world third Griezmann, and the European golden boy Felix, Atletico Madrid are not inferior to Real Madrid in terms of strength on paper and bench depth.

If he loses to Real Madrid this time, Simeone's coaching ability will be questioned by fans.

Finally, on the eve of the Madrid derby, many other La Liga teams joined forces in the hope that Atletico Madrid could end Real Madrid's unbeaten league run this season and return La Liga to a prosperous future.

This invisibly increased the pressure on Simeone.

Against Ancelotti, Simeone's only source of confidence was a 4-0 win over Real Madrid at the Calderón Stadium in the 14-15 season.

This also indirectly became the driving factor for Ancelotti's dismissal.

Is it the unstoppable spear of Ancelotti the Avenger, or the indestructible shield of Simeone the Guardian?
