"Luo, how do you feel after a long absence?"

After the morning training, Carlo Ancelotti approached Rossi to talk.

Judging from the test data given by Pintus, Rossi, who has been recuperating for two months, has not recovered to his best health.

In the weekend's match against Espanyol, Rossi was dropped from the starting line-up.

This is not surprising.

Recuperating from an injury for a long time will make the players unfamiliar with the rhythm of the game, which will take some time to adjust.

The most important thing to adjust is the mentality of the players.

Many players suffer from a serious decline in form after injury, one of which is that the style of play continues to take a toll on the body, causing the body to begin to decline.

The second is the mental barrier, the fear of being injured again and not daring to make moves on the court.

Another point is to be taken by other players.

During Rossi's recuperation, Real Madrid started with Vinicius, Karim Benzema and Rodrygo as the starting striker, and performed well.

In the two months of competition, 14 games, 10 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, the league, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League went hand in hand, showing super momentum.

But what about the real situation, Real Madrid without Rossi, although they can win, but winning makes Ancelotti not feel at ease.

A sense of urgency to be flattened by the opponent at any time lingered in An Fat's heart.

Entering the sprint stage in May, the victory or defeat of any game will be a key battle to determine whether Real Madrid can win the treble this season.

Ancelotti, careless.

Rossi also noticed that her body was still a little uncomfortable during the training session.

After all, this is the first time he's been away from the pitch for so long due to an injury.

And after switching to medium-to-high-intensity training, Rossi obviously felt some tension in his left ankle, not as soft as before.

This may be the physical and psychological shadow left behind by the injury.

The Copa del Rey final, which was originally scheduled to take place in the middle of next week, was scheduled for the week after the end of the league due to the two sides being Real Madrid and Barcelona.

This not only gives Real Madrid more time and energy to prepare for the Champions League semi-finals, but also makes this Copa del Rey full of "revenge" elements.

At present, in the La Liga standings, Real Madrid and Barcelona have the same points, and in the case of two legs of the round-robin match, Real Madrid is at the top of the list with a record of one win and one draw.

Regardless of who wins the league, the Copa del Rey final will be a battle of honour and revenge.

It also gave Rossi plenty of time to recover.

In the match against Espanyol, Real Madrid were stubbornly and frantically pressed by their opponents.

Real Madrid, who are out of form, have only 47% possession.

Luka Modric and Kroos left the pitch early to save their energy for the game against Manchester City.

The scene was already very unfavorable, and Real Madrid suffered another blow in the 75th minute.

Carvajal was sent off the pitch with two yellows and one red, leaving Real Madrid with 10 men in the next 15 minutes.

Faced with a sharp decline, Carlo Ancelotti had to switch to a defensive player to increase his running and defensive coverage.

Rossi, there is almost no chance to play.

In the end, Real Madrid won a ten-man draw away from home.

Real Madrid drawn, and it was a great opportunity for Barcelona to overtake the score.

However, Barcelona also encountered stubborn resistance from the opposition and also ended in a draw.

Give you a chance you don't.

After the game, the Spanish media made such a bold prediction that Barcelona may have missed the last chance to reach the top of the table.

The La Liga leaders, who are in danger, finally get a week of rest and adjustment.

In order to allow Rossi to adapt as quickly as possible, assistant coach Davide, joint fitness coach Pintus, sports science director Beniamino Fuerco, physiotherapist José Carlos, data analyst Montanaro and personal doctor Lucena developed a professional and detailed exercise plan.

The six of them followed Rossi's training status around the clock, followed up on the daily data report in a timely manner, and adjusted the training recovery plan.

This is also the first 6-on-1 service for players in the history of Real Madrid.

James, the Real Madrid team doctor who was not involved, was sullen.

Due to the error of diagnosis, the medical team of Real Madrid, which had a poor reputation, was hit again.

Real Madrid players have begun to question the quality of the team's medical care, and captain Karim Benzema has gone directly to the president's office to change the team doctor.

Although Jaime is a descendant of Florentino, the adverse effects of this misdiagnosis on the team are too serious.

Disappointed and helpless, Florentino had no choice but to let Jaime leave the team temporarily in the name of vacation.

As for whether he can come back next season, everything will have to wait until the season is over.

On Monday, after finishing training at the training base, Real Madrid took a bus to Madrid's Barajas airport in the afternoon to board a special flight to Manchester.

Manchester City, as one of the more familiar teams in Real Madrid's Champions League in recent years, is also the club with the best strength in Europe on paper.

This season, the addition of Norwegian centre-forward Erling Haaland is the final piece of the puzzle for Pep Guardiola's perfect squad.

Not having to adapt to the pace and confrontation of the Premier League, Haaland scored a horrific 32 goals in 30 appearances for Manchester City.

And the season isn't over yet, and his goal tally is still rising.

The efficient goal, the fans have exclaimed, is that the Premier League needs to adapt to Haaland.

Since Manchester City's rise, the Champions League has become their ultimate goal.

It is an important weight to take off the hat of the "pseudo-wealthy".

Prior to that, they had met Real Madrid in the knockout rounds of the Champions League on several occasions.

originally thought that it would be a blockbuster duel that was evenly matched, but the result was that Real Madrid with rich experience in the Champions League, frantically suppressed, and finally reversed the game.

Last season, the offensive and defensive battle between the two teams kept countless fans awake at night.

Pep Guardiola is constantly summing up the lessons and experiences of failures, continuing to rebuild the team, optimize the lineup, and innovate tactics.

Manchester City has maintained a strong upward momentum this season and is the favourite to win the treble this season.

Real Madrid, which is also moving towards the goal of the treble, is a bit stumbling in the process.

Rossi's injury in the second half made Real Madrid even more difficult.

Fortunately, in the two months that Rossi has been out of action, Real Madrid's opponents are not strong overall.

Coupled with Barcelona's "grace not to kill" at a critical time, Real Madrid passed the dangerous period smoothly.

This Champions League semi-final may be the final battle to determine the final Champions League title.

Last summer, Pep Guardiola cleared up a number of players who were not good at playing hard, including Fernandinho, Zinchenko, Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus and Joao Cancelo.

The introduction of Haaland, Alvarez, Akanji, Calvin and other reinforcements to strengthen the lineup, Manchester City has the confidence and strength to impact the first Champions League title in team history.

And Real Madrid's recruitment in several seasons can be described as "ill-fated".

With the exception of Rossi, Real Madrid have not made a single transfer in recent years that can be called a shock to world football.

By bringing in young players and tapping the surplus value of old players, Real Madrid has completed the replacement of the old and the new with a slow and steady pace.

Miraculously, Real Madrid can still complete three consecutive wins in the Champions League and five crowns under such reinforcements, which is a miracle in itself.

And this season, Real Madrid has maintained the ability to fight in the third line, and Ancelotti's ability to integrate the team's resources is beyond doubt.

Among them, Rossi plays a key central role.

Some media have summarized that 75% of Rossi's goals were scored when Real Madrid was behind.

The king of reversal, there is nothing wrong with it.
