The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 star spoke about how each and every game is important for Real Madrid and the one against Celta Vigo was the same and they were able to come out as eventual winners.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Essien-c25294 recently took part in Real Madrid’s 2-0 win against Celta Vigo over the weekend.
The Spanish champions, Real Madrid, were the ones who suffered the most from the most recent international break that took place.
The Spanish giants saw three of their full-backs getting injured, which led to Jose Mourinho being in a selection crisis as there were not enough players to settle in the defence.
The Spanish giants still managed to do something as the former Chelsea coach decided to play Raphael Varane and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Ramos-c33096 and Michael Essien played as full-backs.
Even though Essien is not used-to of playing in the left-back role, he was still able to help his side keep a clean sheet during the tournament.
While speaking about how he had to cope up with the new position, Michael Essien said:
“It’s always strange to play in a different position but Mourinho asked me to do it and I knew I could.”
The on-loan midfielder from Chelsea also spoke about how the games are important for Los Blancos at the moment.
The Catalan giants are trailing behind both their arch-rivals, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 and Atletico Madrid, in the Spanish La Liga points table.
Therefore, each and every point the team takes is important at the moment and that is exactly what the Ghanaian midfielder said after the game.
Michael Essien said that he is happy at the fact that Madrid have won all three points and said:
“At this point I think every game is important for us. We got the three points and that’s something we are very happy about.”
Real Madrid are now going to turn their focus on the UEFA Champions League and they will be taking on the challenge of the German giants, Borussia Dortmund, who are also the current champions of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904.
Los Blancos are currently favourites to win the game, but it is going to be tough as it will take place on German soil.
