The days of playing football with Da Luo

Chapter 426 AC Milan's Challenge

Real Madrid beat Barcelona in an away game, with 50 points, temporarily ranking first in the standings; Sevilla also won the ball, and they have 49 points with Barcelona, ​​and they are ranked 2nd and 3rd.

But Real Madrid and Barcelona only have each other in their eyes, and they don't regard Sevilla as a real opponent for the championship at all.

After winning the away game, Ricardo asked Capello for a few days off.

Not that he's really going back to Brazil for Carnival, but he does need to go to two places for a run.

The first destination is China.The talent show funded by him is in full swing, and several football schools he and the Yang family have co-founded are also under construction at the same time. The first one to start construction has already been basically completed.

After staying in China for two days, he shot a few commercials by the way, and then he rushed to Brazil.The acquisition of clubs is already underway. Farah has circled several candidates for him, and has a clear understanding of the basic situation of these clubs, including financial information.

This time he used to prepare to have interviews with the high-level officials of those clubs, and then make a decision after comprehensive consideration.

After these trips, his injury is almost healed.

On March 3, Ricardo hurried back to Madrid.Although he passed the physical examination, considering that he has not practiced with the team these days, and his physical fitness is difficult to guarantee on the road, Capello did not select him into the starting lineup for this round of the game, and only put him in the big list .

He wasn't needed that night either.At the Bernabeu, Real Madrid continued the fighting spirit of the last game and has always occupied the initiative on the field.

But it was not until the 55th minute that they opened the scoring with a long shot from Kaka.

In the 80th minute, Ruud van Nistelrooy took advantage of another shot in front of the goal for the team, and his icing on the cake ensured Real Madrid's victory.

Next came the national team match day. Dunga still did not call in Ricardo, Kaka and others. He was constantly trying newcomers to pave the way for the World Cup three years later.Elano, Renato, Felipe Melo, Fabiano and some former fringe figures all got the chance to perform.

Even without calling in a few main players, the Brazilian team still has good results. Facing the strong Portugal, Chile and Ghana, they all won as a matter of course.

This confirms what the previous media said. "Brazil can build a team with top players who play for the big clubs, a team with good players who play abroad, and a team with good players who play at home, and all three teams can compete. World Cup winners."

Riccardo could fully understand that Dunga didn't call him in.He also hopes that Dunga can tap more outstanding players, so that he will not be alone in the 2010 World Cup.

When the national team match day was over, the team assembled again, and a familiar figure appeared in the locker room.

"Ronnie! You're finally back."

"Ronnie, are you planning to participate in training?"

"Ronnie..."

Ronaldo greeted everyone with a smile.

Ricardo was the first to know that Ronaldo was going to resume training.He has been living in Ronaldo's mansion, and he came here in Ronaldo's sports car this morning.

Ronaldo is more than happy to be back in training.

However, in training, Ronaldo is still training alone, and it is still mainly physical training and recovery training, and there is not much training with the ball.

Maybe he won't be able to resume full training with the ball until the end of April.As for the last game?The jury is still out.

Ronaldo's return has boosted team morale.

On the evening of April 4st, Real Madrid challenged Celta Vigo away.Although Capello shouted the slogan "every game is a decisive battle" at the press conference before the game, but for the consideration of the Champions League in the middle of the week, he carried out a certain degree of rotation, which also caused Real Madrid to lose in the game. But facing an unfavorable situation, the scene played very passively.

In the 26th minute, Ruud van Nistelrooy used a counterattack to open the scoring for the team, but then they were suppressed by Celta and have not had any good opportunities.

On the contrary, Celta became more courageous as the battle progressed, beating the Galacticos like a dog in the water.

In the 39th minute, Celta used a set kick to equalize the score.

After the start of the second half, Real Madrid was still restrained everywhere. Capello replaced Beckham who had just recovered from injury, and the situation changed.

Beckham used his precise passing to launch attack after attack for Real Madrid.

Finally, in the 81st minute, Beckham played a long pass from the midfielder behind the defender. Ricardo took advantage of his speed and drove straight in. He hit the ball with his chest to avoid the entanglement of the defender, and before the ball hit the ground, he volleyed vigorously. Hanging in the far corner, it was difficult for Real Madrid to take all 3 points.

After the game, Capello admitted that the difficulty of the league was beyond his expectation, but he still has the confidence to lead the team to win the championship.As for the Champions League, they will definitely not give up.

Next up is the Champions League quarter-finals.

Real Madrid's opponent is the Serie A giants, AC Milan.

Although AC Milan was penalized in the league and will definitely miss the European war next season, they can still participate in the Champions League this season.

And because the league is hopeless, they were able to devote all their energy to the Champions League.But due to the loss of Kaka, their results in the Champions League are actually not ideal.

They are in a group with Lille, AEK Athens, and Anderlecht, with 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses to qualify first in the group.

In the eighth-finals, they tied the Celtics with two 0:0s, and finally scored a goal in overtime to eliminate their opponents.

They lost Shevchenko, lost Kaka, Maldini and Costacurta, Inzaghi was a year older.And Gilardino is still not well integrated into the team.

But Ricardo will not underestimate his opponent.

In another time and space, although this AC Milan team stumbled all the way and always felt that they were in poor condition, they fought harder and harder, and finally met Liverpool in the final, washing away the shame of "Istanbul Night".

And Real Madrid is about to run into this champion team.

Real Madrid wants to be a guest before a host.This match order is of course beneficial to Real Madrid.

At the press conference before the game, Capello looked very relaxed: "I am very familiar with this AC Milan. I have played against them many times in Serie A. Their lineup and tactics have not changed much. I think, This is our advantage. Ancelotti may also know me, but he doesn't know this Real Madrid. He may know Ricardo and Kaka, but he doesn't know how Ricardo and Kaka have played this year. What an improvement. I can't wait to play them and I'm sure my team can do well away from home."
