Super Storm

This is a sixteenth round of La Liga.

Since mid-December, Real Madrid went to Morocco to participate in the World Club Cup, which led to the 16th round of La Liga vs. Seville, which had to be postponed to early February, which made Real Madrid ’s original tight schedule for third-line combat change To be more dense.

It can be said that from the beginning of the season, except for a week off during Christmas, the rest of the time, Real Madrid are basically all a week of double games, and the schedule is very dense, which brings great pressure to the team.

And after the winter break, the hidden dangers caused by the intensive schedule soon broke out.

By the eighth minute of the game, Ramos was sitting on the grass, covering his left thigh with a pained expression. The team doctor quickly checked in, and signaled the side coach Ancelotti to replace him.

Substitute Nacho replaced Ramos, and Real Madrid was forced to make adjustments in the eighth minute.

In the twelfth minute, Marcelo made a cross from the left and Hames Rodriguez, who succeeded in anti-offside, rushed to the top of the penalty area and scored a header. He opened the record for Real Madrid and took the lead.

After breaking the deadlock, the game began to show openness, both teams played more unrestrained, and the rhythm was faster.

In the twenty-seventh minute, Hames Rodriguez was also injured, unable to stick to the game, and signaled that the coaching staff on the sidelines must be replaced, so the younger Hesse was substituted.

In less than half an hour, Real Madrid exchanged two players in a row, and they were basically injured without physically colliding with their opponents. This is also very worrying, because it often means that the injury is not simple.

In the thirty-sixth minute, Suarez pulled the ball to the right and made a pass. Isco failed to stop the ball, but Hesse ran to the position swiftly, hitting easily with a volley, two to zero.

This score has also been maintained until the 80th minute of the second half before Sevilla scored a goal.

In the end, Real Madrid beat Sevilla 2-1 at home.

However, it is clear that everyone's attention is focused on the wounded.

In less than half an hour, two players were injured in a row, which is definitely not unusual.

The real worry is that the injury wave is affecting Real Madrid.

...

As soon as the game against Sevilla was over, the injury report from Hames Rodriguez came out.

Fracture of the fifth metatarsal in the right foot requires immediate surgery and is expected to be absent for at least two to three months.

Ramos suffered a muscle strain on his left leg. The injury is currently unknown. He is expected to be able to check it clearly within 48 hours. He is conservatively estimated to be absent for a month.

Both generals will be sidelined for a month or two due to injury, which has a great impact on Real Madrid, because there are already a lot of casualties in Real Madrid.

Modric, who was injured in the national team in November last year, has not recovered from the injury. As for when he can come back, the team doctor has not given an accurate timetable; Harvey Martinez is injured in the ribs and conservatively estimates that a truce is needed. One month; Danilo was also injured in previous training. This time against Sevilla, he failed to enter the roster.

In addition to injuries, there are suspensions.

Main left-back Marcelo received a yellow card against Sevilla. He will be suspended for at least one round and will miss at least the game against Atletico Madrid.

In other words, the next weekend at Atletico Madrid, at least six main level players will be absent.

Real Madrid has already lost most of its main line-up before the game has started. What do you want to do with Atletico Madrid and report their revenge at the beginning of the season?

More importantly, after playing Atletico Madrid, the next round is the two rounds of the King's Cup semi-final. The opponent is Villarreal with good strength, and after the King's Cup semi-final, it is the Champions League elimination round.

It can be said that Real Madrid's schedule is intensive, and it is unparalleled in the world football.

Although Ancelotti increased his rotation during the winter break, he still has to ensure the competitiveness of the team, so he can only take turns, such as playing Sevilla, Yang Yang will take a rest, and Suarez will start. Sometimes it is the other way around.

But even so, the pressure of the player's game is still great, especially in the strong dialogue.

For example, next playing Atletico, Villarre, and Champions League sixteen opponent Schalke 04, does Ancelotti dare to rotate like this?

The answer is simple, at least the first round is not dare, the second round also depends on the score of the first round.

In this case, the player's pressure will inevitably be very large.

In the first half, the team went smoothly, and there were not many injuries. Only Modric was seriously injured, but in the second half, many problems were exposed. Especially for some players participating in the World Cup, the risk of injury will be greater.

Tony Cross has reacted before, and his body is very tired, because from the beginning of last season to the present, he has not been well rested. In this case, how can we guarantee the state?

Instead, Yang Yang, because he did not participate in the game in the month of the beginning of the season, making his situation better.

The games are intensive, the schedule is tight, and there are many injuries to the team, but the game will continue.

Many media including the Aspen newspaper believe that Real Madrid ’s coaching staff should consider and give up some optional games, such as the King ’s Cup.

The prize money is very small, and the gold content is also very tasteless. The teams that reached the semi-finals are Real Madrid, Villarreal, Athletic Bilbao and the Spaniards. How can it be considered that La Liga has more gold content?

It can be said that playing the King's Cup is purely for an honor.

Professional football pays attention to trade-offs. In the case of injury and illness in the team, for the sake of honor, which affects the league's lead and the Champions League, it is a little more than worth the loss.

For this, the coaching staff is obviously hesitating and weighing.

To put it bluntly, professional football is about profit.

…………

…………

The next morning after playing Sevilla, Real Madrid players received the news of the successful operation of Hames Rodriguez. Everyone was relieved, and they were all fortunate for the Colombian players.

Although, many people have a competitive relationship with him, but as a professional player, no one wants to deal with injuries.

It can be said that in the face of injuries, professional players' positions are the same.

Captain Ramos did not come to train. He is currently a wounded soldier and needs a good rest. Although he will not be in a wheelchair like Hames Rodriguez, he will also need to use a cane.

Before the start of the training class, Marcelo, the temporary captain, summoned everyone and asked everyone for their opinions.

Although not straightforward, it is clear that the coaching staff wants to know what the players think of the next schedule.

Surprisingly, after Marcelo finished speaking, there was silence in the dressing room, and no one spoke.

"What's going on? Everyone talks, it's okay, talk about your views, say anything," Marcelo encouraged.

But everyone was still silent, and many people even simply lowered their heads so that no one could see his expression clearly.

After the winter break, Real Madrid did encounter consecutive discomforts, and the experience was more bumpy than in the first half, but this is also the norm throughout the season, because it is too long, almost a year.

Not to mention being a professional player, even if it is an ordinary person or a student, who can guarantee that his working state or learning state will remain stable for up to ten months?

"How come nobody spoke?" Marcelo was anxious.

But the people in the locker room were still silent.

Maybe they are all confused, maybe they know but do n’t want to say, maybe they dare not say it, or maybe they do n’t know how to say ...

But Yang Yang felt that at this time, Real Madrid needed nothing more than democracy, not everyone stood up to express their opinions, but someone stood up and told them what to do next, leading them to take this step and step out Dilemma.

This should have been the responsibility of the captain, but since Raúl left, Casillas was the goalkeeper, training was often not together, Ramos was injured, and Marcelo couldn't help the situation ...

Thinking of this layer, Yang Yang sighed in his heart and stood up.

"Since you don't want to say it, let me say it first."

As soon as Yang Yang stood up, everyone in the audience looked up at him in unison.

Obviously, they are all waiting for Yang Yang's next words.

"The Triple Crown is an honor, but it is not unprecedented. Before us, many teams have won the Triple Crown, and even I have won the Four Crown in Liverpool."

"But ..." Yang Yang suddenly increased his tone, "Defending the Triple Crown has never been realized. Those teams that have successfully won the Triple Crown, I can guarantee that they are closely followed. That season, they must have aimed at defending the Triple Crown, but they will encounter all kinds of hardships and obstacles during the season, which ultimately makes them impossible to achieve. "

Speaking of which, Yang Yang exhaled softly and slowed his tone, "Everyone should remember that we were in the honor room of the Bernabeu more than a month ago. We were at Real Madrid's Christmas lunch. What was that? With passion, we personally promised Real Madrid TV that we will do our best to defend the Triple Crown, do you remember? "

Many people nodded, and some moved.

In the first half of Real Madrid, there was a lot of confidence. Everyone was a hundred times confident. At the Christmas lunch more than a month ago, no one would see today's plight. At that time, they were full of confidence and morale. They could even be said to be Not forever.

But now ...

"Difficulties, it always exists. We didn't encounter difficulties last season? If we choose to escape because of difficulties, then choose the easy route, how did our Triple Crown last season come? How did the Triple Crown come before us? Did n’t everyone forget? "

Faced with Yang Yang's questioning, the locker room was still silent, but the player's expression was obviously different from the previous one.

Without the stagnation just now, they are all struggling to regain their confidence and fighting spirit.

None of the players who can come to Real Madrid are simple. They are all the top players in football today.

"Let me say, do n’t worry about multi-line battles, do n’t say the weight of the King ’s Cup is not important, it ’s not important anymore, it is also a championship trophy, and for our Real Madrid, for our Real Madrid players, as long as it is a championship trophy, we Never let it slip through our fingers. "

"What do you think?" Yang Yang spread his hands and looked around at his teammates with searing eyes.
