Chapter 679: Back to Madrid
Two weeks later, the aftermath of the World Cup has not yet dissipated, and the five major leagues have rekindled their fires.
In the last league game of the year, Real Madrid played Valladolid away.
Karim Benzema, who missed the World Cup due to injury, is the main centre-forward, flanking him by the Brazilian twins.
Rossi was not in the starting line-up because he was in the World Cup final and has not yet recovered to his best.
After more than a month of World Cup matches, the overall form of Real Madrid's players is somewhat sluggish.
Still, they controlled the pace of the game.
In the first half of the game, Real Madrid played around the opponent, and the possession rate once reached 70%.
But they couldn't score, they didn't score, and the scene was a bit ugly.
During the halftime break, there was a heated discussion among fans in the commentary room of the live broadcast.
"With this lineup and scene, this season is difficult!"
"That's right, there will be the Western Super Cup and the Club World Cup next, and if you don't bring in reinforcements in the winter window, just wait for the big four to be empty!"
"Look at Barcelona next door, it's a quick and accurate reinforcement!"
"Rossi's Golden Globe this year hangs in the balance."
"I heard that Carlo Ancelotti is going to coach the Brazilian team, and it is even more difficult for Real Madrid!"
In the midst of a wave of negative talk from fans, a veteran fan spoke.
"The people discussed above are all newcomers, wait for the second half to speak!"
"You don't know anything about the metaphysics of Real Madrid!"
"Newcomers, don't be nervous, our lives are hard!"
In the second half, Real Madrid made two substitutions in the 60th minute.
Rossi and Luka Modric came off the bench.
After Modric came on the pitch, Real Madrid's attack was visibly smooth.
What you played for 60 minutes, you learned a little bit, what is a pass.
The pass goes well and the goal follows.
In the 82nd minute, Rossi received Benzema's header at the back point and easily put the ball into the empty goal.
In the 85th minute, defender Camavinga made an inverted triangle cross, and Rossi outflanked it.
In just 3 minutes, Real Madrid settled the battle with the speed of the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.
"The big guy is right, our lives are so hard!"
"In the future, Real Madrid will only need to watch the last ten minutes!"
'Congratulations to Thibaut Courtois for his first clean sheet of the season!'
"As soon as Mama Mo makes a move, you will know if there is one!"
"Rosie is more ferocious than ever!"
Regarding the change in Rossi, Ancelotti was also aware of it.
After returning from the World Cup, the mentality of some players has not fully adjusted, and Vinicius was replaced early because of his sluggish form.
But Rosie is different.
His competitive form has not only not been affected, but has become more vigorous.
It's like venting dissatisfaction.
Carlo Ancelotti is concerned that such sentiment will affect his performance in the Devil's schedule in January and February, and is planning to apply to the club to take a striker on loan during the winter break.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the stadium.
Rossi scored again.
This time, he fired straight from outside the box and found the back of the net.
3:0!
Rossi scored a hat-trick.
"Recruitment...... Still is...... Forget it! ”
Carlo Ancelotti has given up on the idea of bringing in reinforcements in the winter window.
After the victory, Real Madrid won the half-way championship with a three-point advantage in the standings.
After spending the New Year in London, Rosie took time out to go to Bury.
The winter window is about to open, and the players who have performed well in the World Cup have become the sweethearts of many giants.
Alvarez, who was loaned out to his parent club River Plate last season, became the main rotation under Pep Guardiola after the World Cup.
As for Enzo, Chelsea are said to have prepared a 100 million dollar contract to bring the talented midfielder to Stamford Bridge.
England's Bellingham and Ramsdale, although they are still playing in the Championship Bury team, have long been an important target for the giants.
Bury has been fighting for Championship relegation every season, and the pair have naturally become favourites in the transfer market.
There is no doubt that the small temple of Bury will never be able to accommodate them.
Rossi's visit is to deal with the future transfer of the two.
After receiving offers from other clubs, Rossi personally asked the two about their career plans and development.
After lengthy discussions, Rossi allowed the two to open the transfer after obtaining the consent of Lao Lei, and completed the transfer in this summer window.
Bury are still relegated at the moment, and the transfer fee of the two can bring a lot of income to the team.
Lao Lei can squander the money again.
It's just that if you want to be promoted to the Premier League, I'm afraid you will have to delay it for many years.
There are no core players!
After a quick deal with Burry's business, Rossi returned to Madrid non-stop to prepare for the second half of the race.
Real Madrid play at least seven games in January, including a semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup.
After a comfortable win over their Copa del Rey opponents, Real Madrid were held to a draw away at Villarreal.
Rossi left the pitch after scoring a goal to prepare for the Spanish Super Cup.
The semi-final opponent of the Spanish Super Cup is Valencia.
In fact, Ancelotti wanted to give up the event.
The Spanish Super Cup not only has to go to Saudi Arabia, even if it wins the semifinals, there is also a final to play.
This is overtaxing on the player's body.
However, the Real Madrid hierarchy did not allow it.
Although the gold content of the event is not high, the gold content of the business is not low.
Saudi Arabia, the father of these financial owners, wants to use Real Madrid and Barcelona's influence in the world to expand their own league.
At the beginning of the semi-finals, Real Madrid also found out, and Valencia on the opposite side didn't want to play much.
Simply, the two teams played the game as if it were an exhibition match.
In the 58th minute, Karim Benzema opened the scoring for his team.
In the 65th minute, Samuel equalized.
There was no winner for 90 minutes, and the two sides went into extra time.
There were no goals in extra time, and the two teams eventually went to penalties.
In the end, Courtois saved two penalties in a row to send Real Madrid to the final.
After the game, fans ridiculed Real Madrid's tactics in the Spanish Super Cup.
The attacking side dragged the opponent into a penalty shoot-out and let Courtois do it.
Defensively, let Courtois do it himself.
Ridicule is ridicule, but after learning that the opponent in the final is Barcelona, Real Madrid fans are not calm.
This is the first matchup between Rossi and Messi after the World Cup.
The grievances between the two, from the national team, back to the competition for club honor.
Since the Zidane era, Real Madrid has been undergoing an orderly era change.
The BBC and the ceremonial midfield fell apart one after another, and the midfield and backfield patched up.
The replenishment of fresh blood is an important reason why Real Madrid can still maintain a high level of competition.
On Barcelona's side, with the arrival of Xavi, they embarked on a way to promote local new talents and buy strong reinforcements to complete the change of dynasty.
But now, in front of them is an insurmountable mountain.
Since Rossi's arrival, Barcelona have not won a single of their nine official matches against Real Madrid.
Atletico Madrid, which is also a powerhouse in La Liga, can at least draw one game.
This has made Barcelona fans haunted all the time.
Last summer, Polish striker Lewandowski joined Barcelona from Bayern Munich and injected strong firepower into the team.
In the first national derby, Lewandowski was absent due to injury, which led to Barcelona's loss to Real Madrid.
After Lewandowski's return, the huge and sharp forward line is a powerful weapon for Xavi to break the winless against Real Madrid.
Although it was a commercial competition, both sides were fighting for their respective honors.
