Due to the yellow card in the World Preliminary Round, Militang was sure that he would not be able to play the next game, and he also flew out of the Base Camp of the Brazilian team early and returned to Real Madrid to report. For the Galactic Battleship on the occasion of employment, this is definitely an unexpected surprise.
In late January, most of the events in the European zone were temporarily suspended, and the superstars had started a short holiday, but the World Preliminary Tournament in South America continued. To this end, The four main players of real Madrid, Casemiro, Militão, Vinicius and Rodrigo, have all been called up by the Brazilian national team.
Previously, Real Madrid wanted to communicate with the Brazilian Football Association and let the four return early in order to participate in the 1/4 final of the Copa del Rey on February 4, against Basque lion Athletic Bilbao. However, the Brazilian national team refused real Madrid's request, and the head of the team, Junier, said that although the Samba Legion had already qualified early, it still had to run the squad for the World Cup and could not open this back door.
In the 15th round of the World Preliminary Round in South America on 28 January, Brazil continued to be unbeaten in a thrilling 1-1 draw away to Ecuador. However, right-back Emerson received a red card and Militang also saw yellow in the second minute of first-half stoppage time. Due to the accumulation of yellow cards, Militang will miss the match against Paraguay.
Spanish authoritative media Corbe Radio pointed out that Militang has obtained the approval of the Brazilian national team, left the training camp of the Samba Regiment early, and took a plane to return to Real Madrid half a world at the first time. Next, Militang will resume training on Monday in preparation for several key battles after the holiday.
Militang, 24, has been with Real Madrid for two and a half years and his value has risen to 60 million euros. Ramos and Varane have both left this season, and Militang has become the main force, forming a central defender with Alaba. Despite occasional mistakes, Militão has shown great form, helping Real Madrid maintain their hopes of winning La Liga, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey.
Next, Militão will most likely make his appearance in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, against Athletic Bilbao for the fourth time of the season. In the previous three moves, Real Madrid won all of them, including a two-legged double-match match in the league and a 2-0 victory in the Final of the Western Super League. If you can pass the level away, you will achieve a 4-game streak against the Basque Lions.
It should be known that the first time the Real Madrid won the Copa del Rey was already in the 13/14 season, and since then it has been out early for various reasons. Now that Barca, Atletico and Sevilla are out, Real Madrid are the biggest favourites to win the title. It can even be said that if it can cross the barrier of Athletic Bilbao, the Galactic Battleship is very hopeful to end the 8-year King's Cup championship drought.
Of course, the Copa del Rey is only a small goal for Ancelotti, whose ultimate aspirations are La Liga and the Champions League. With la Liga titles, Ancelotti will create two achievements: First, the first manager to win the five major leagues in Europe. Second, real madrid have led the team to win all competitions in history, including the Champions League, La Liga, Copa del Rey, Super Cup, European Super Cup and Club World Cup.
