Chapter 148: Battle for Real Madrid

Manchester United's home draw with Everton didn't cause much of a stir.

Everyone knows that Carlo Ancelotti has made such a large rotation in this game in order to stay in the Champions League three days later, and it is a good result to be able to get a point.

Therefore, after this game, the players did not feel any frustration, anyway, their advantage in the league is already so huge, even if they lose points in one or two games, it will not have any impact on the overall situation of the entire league.

Carlo Ancelotti also said in his post-match press conference that the draw was a lucky result for United.

"We were really lucky to win and if it wasn't for Li Qingshan's stoppage time strike, we might have lost this game, which is certainly not what we would have liked to see. But I don't think it's a bad thing to draw because we have a very strong opponent right away and our players will have enough motivation and fighting spirit to play against this opponent! ”

Ancelotti naturally has nothing to be dissatisfied, and this game has been strategically abandoned in his plans.

Of course, this can't be said to the players, but he has already shown it in the starting arrangement, after all, playing three games in seven days is still quite demanding on the team's physical fitness, and he naturally has to choose between these three games.

It was entirely Ancelotti's arrangement to give up the domestic league for the time being, so it was lucky enough to get a point.

......

The game was not won, and the media in England were well aware that Manchester United was preparing for the match against Real Madrid, after all, it was normal to prepare in advance against such a strong opponent.

Manchester United is already a well-known giant in the world, but if you really want to compare the lineups of the two sides, on paper, Real Madrid's advantage is really very big.

Real Madrid are the biggest of the big clubs, and they have the best players in the world in almost every position.

Comparing the line-up between Manchester United and Real Madrid, it can be said that except for goalkeeper David De Gea and central striker Li Qingshan, Manchester United's players look a notch worse than Real Madrid in any other position.

And Real Madrid's form this season is quite terrifying - if Manchester United is strong enough in the Premier League, then compared to Real Madrid, Manchester United is not as strong as Real Madrid in La Liga.

Real Madrid have not lost so far since 2016, drawing just two away games against Malaga and away at Real Betis, while they have won all of their other matches. Since 2016, Real Madrid have played a total of 16 games and won 14 of them!

What's even more terrifying is that Real Madrid scored 49 goals in these sixteen games in 2016!! The attack power is quite amazing.

Unfortunately, Barcelona is also quite strong in La Liga, although in the Spanish national derby on April 3, Real Madrid won 2-1 away against Barcelona, but because the league met for the first time, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 4-0, and in the first half of La Liga, Real Madrid dropped a lot of points, although Real Madrid has shown such madness after entering 2016, but the two sides are currently in the standings, Barcelona is still three points ahead of Real Madrid......... It's no wonder that some people ridicule that Real Madrid and Barcelona actually belong to the Spanish Super League.........

'Real Madrid's recent form has been phenomenal, especially as they had beaten a strong Barcelona away from home. On Manchester United's side, despite the rotation in the league, the team's strength has been severely compromised due to the injury of several key players after the national team break, and now for Manchester United, facing Real Madrid Madrid, an opponent, must not be taken lightly. ”

Some English media said this with considerable concern. In terms of overall atmosphere, England are not too optimistic about Manchester United's ability to beat Real Madrid, who have been in good form of late.

'For Manchester United, maybe there will be no difficulties in the formation, Marouane Fellaini is injured, Carrick can also be on the top in time, and the injuries of Chris Smalling and Jones are not too much of a problem, this season Manchester United have used more centre-back combinations of Hummels and Rojo, and the real crisis is the absence of Di Maria. Manchester United's three attacking players in the front field have their own characteristics, and Di Maria's speed and dribbling ability are undoubtedly an important weapon in Manchester United's front attack, and now Di Maria is injured and sidelined, although I don't know whether Ancelotti will choose Nani or Rooney to play his position, but I think the effect is certainly not as good as Di Maria, therefore, Manchester United's crisis may appear on the offensive end. "Gary Neville, who was fired by Valencia, is back in the air as a guest commentator on Sky Sports on the English TV show.

.........

"Old Trafford!!"

On the plane to Manchester, the Real Madrid players were in a relaxed state of mind, having beaten Barcelona at Camp Nou just two days ago, and are now looking forward to taking on another big side at Old Trafford, Manchester United.

Cristiano Ronaldo is in a pretty good mood, Manchester is where he became famous, and due to his explosive form during this time, the recent news about him in the media has been full of praise, which naturally greatly satisfied the vanity of the Portuguese Mr. Golden Ball.

He is naturally quite familiar with the stadium under the plane, because he joined Manchester United in 2003 and spent six years in Manchester, growing from a young boy to a world footballer! In 2008, Cristiano Ronaldo won the Ballon d'Or, World Footballer of the Year (first in the Premier League), and the European Golden Boot, the second person after Brazilian star Ronaldo. Combined with Ronaldo's previous total of 22 accolades, he completed the grand slam of individual honors. And at this time, Ronaldo was only twenty-three years old!

The rest of the story is the story of Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival at the Bernabeu with the world's number one price at the time.

And the undeniable thing is that Old Trafford is the most important period of Ronaldo's career, and it is where he has become the world's top superstar from a fancy, young and ignorant teenager who likes to show off his skills, under the tutelage of Ferguson!

After arriving in Manchester, Ronaldo was naturally the focus of reporters.

The Portuguese was in a good mood when he was in front of the camera: "I have very good memories here, I know every corner of Old Trafford quite well, and I think there will be a good game waiting for us here. ”

All of a sudden, the media also began to hype topics such as "the homecoming of the wanderer" and "the return of the home", which made Cristiano Ronaldo feel even more beautiful.

Even after seven years of absence, Cristiano Ronaldo remains the center of attention in the city, at the centre of everyone's attention.
