Fox in the Penalty Area

Remember [New] in a second! Li Qingqing did not defeat the King of Madrid.

Relying on Meli Banega's goal in the 78th minute, King Madrid defeated Catalan United 4:3 at home.

Scored the most important three points in the league title race.

In the league this season, the matches between the King of Madrid and the other two Western Super League teams are all over. Whether it is the Madrid Pirates or the Catalan United, it is impossible to directly threaten them.

Even if the Madrid Pirates beat Baetik next, as long as the King of Madrid makes no mistakes and maintains a complete victory, they will be able to maintain this one-point lead.

Both the Madrid Pirates and the Catalan United still have a strong dialogue, that is, the last round of the league, the Catalan United vs. the Madrid Pirates at home.

If the just-concluded "National Derby" was a "snipe and clam battle" for the Madrid Pirates, then the 38th round of the league where the Madrid Pirates challenged the Catalan away game, for the Madrid King, It's also a "snipe and clam fight", and this time, their "fisherman" will most likely have the last laugh.

Because in the last round, the King of Madrid not only sits at home, but the opponent is Sarria, who is not strong.

Even if the Madrid Pirates maintain a complete victory in the next league and are only one point behind the Madrid King, it will be very difficult for them to beat Barcelona away in the last round.

It is definitely more difficult than the king's home defeat against Sarria. .

Who says La Liga is not competitive?

The competition for the league championship this season has been fierce enough to explode - like the Madrid Pirates, a team that has maintained a 12-game winning streak at the beginning of the league, only lost two games in the 28 rounds of the league, but lost the first place in the league because of a draw. location, and it is so difficult to regain the seaside.

Originally, the Madrid Pirates hoped that the King would lose to Catalonia in this round of "National Derby", but Meli's goal disappointed them.

The next day, at the team's last preparation meeting before the game, head coach Parotti could feel the disappointment of the Pirates players in yesterday's "National Derby" result, so he comforted them:

"Putting aside the results of yesterday's game, don't think about what will happen after the first round of the league. First win today's game. If we can't even win our own game, don't expect the opponent to make mistakes!"

Standing in front of all the players, Parotti said these words with a serious expression.

Everyone's expression is also very serious.

Starting from the fifteenth round, the Madrid Pirates have sat on the first throne of the league for thirteen consecutive rounds. For most of the season,

The Madrid Pirates are also leading the standings.

As a result, they lost the first place in the league because they were tied by Sarria in the last round.

I thought it would be back soon.

Who would have thought that Catalan United in the "National Derby" did not stop the progress of the King of Madrid.

This problem is a bit serious-the Madrid pirates lost their best chance to catch up with the king.

But if everyone is worried about gains and losses, then don't even think about the league championship.

Professional players have one very important ability, but they are always easily overlooked by outsiders.

That is mental adjustment ability.

Although everyone always praises those "winners", in fact "affordable to lose" is one of the most important qualities of professional players.

Because professional players always have to face failure and face all kinds of situations that don't go your way.

If you feel angry when encountering this kind of situation, you will always hold it in your heart, and it is very likely that you will drive yourself crazy sooner or later.

So how to face failure correctly and deal with situations that are not in your plan is particularly important.

Now the players of the Madrid Pirates must quickly adjust their mentality and play well for the next game against Baetik. Instead of thinking about King Madrid's victory over Catalan in the "Clasico".

※※※

In the away game between the Madrid Pirates and Baetik, Hou Lai started.

But he didn't score a goal in this game.

Maxi Carey came off the bench again in the second half and had a mediocre performance.

But the Madrid Pirates beat Baetik 2-0 away with goals from Tonini and Irazusta.

Twenty-nine rounds have been played in the league, and Baetik has only accumulated 19 points, ranking at the bottom, and is a favorite for relegation.

So even though Parotti made a substantial rotation of the lineup in this game, it did not affect the final result.

With the strength far surpassing Baetik, the Madrid Pirates won easily.

In the 30th round of the league in the middle of the week, the Madrid Pirates played against Real Huelva at home.

Parotti continued to rotate, and Hou Lai didn't even start.

Facing the 11th-ranked Real Huelva, the Madrid Pirates played much harder this time.

Seeing that the team had the advantage but was unable to score for a long time, Parotti replaced Hu Lai in the 60th minute.

Hou Lai was active after coming on the field and helped the Madrid Pirates break the deadlock in the 71st minute.

His goal was also the only goal of the game.

With this ball, the Madrid Pirates defeated Real Huelva 1-0 at home.

At the same time, Catalan United defeated Samir Sports 3:0 at home, and King Madrid defeated Sevilla Navigator 2:1 away.

The three champions of the Western Super League have all won the ball, and the King of Madrid ranks first with 77 points in points.

The Madrid Pirates came in second with one point less.

Catalan United ranked third with 73 points.

From the point of view of points, the situation is not good for Catalan United. If the three teams continue to win like this and win to the last round of the league, then Catalan United, which is four points behind the Kings, will not be able to surpass the Kings and become the league champion even if they beat the Madrid Pirates at home.

But Catalan also has their advantage, that is, the team has already been eliminated from the Champions League.

This means that they can then put all their focus on the domestic league.

But the Kings and Pirates, the two Madrid teams, still need to fight on two fronts.

Even if it is a giant, the Champions League will definitely affect the league.

The next thirty-first round is over, followed by the quarter-finals of the Champions League in the middle of the week.

On Tuesday, the king will play against blue and white Munich at home. This is the "European derby".

The Madrid Pirates go to Valencia to take on Valentia on Wednesday, the "Spanish Civil War".

Although Valentia is regarded as the "Champions League gift package" by the other seven teams, they are currently ranked ninth in La Liga, and there is basically little hope of competing for the league title or Champions League qualification-they are far from the league's ninth place. There is a full sixteen point difference between the four Biscay teams.

But this also means that Valentia can devote more energy to the Champions League.

Maybe they will smash the Madrid Pirates in the quarter-finals of the two rounds, strive to reach the Champions League final, and create a miracle?

Valentia has reached the final of the Champions League once in history, but they lost to the Ruhr Rhine and achieved the only Champions League championship in the history of the Ruhr Rhine Club.

The UEFA Champions League is a cup game, and the chance of an upset in a cup game will be much higher than in the league.

If the Madrid Pirates are distracted from the league, maybe it is really possible to overturn on Valentia.

Just like the Serie A giants Insubrem.

Therefore, in the thirty-first round of the league, the last league game before the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, the Madrid Pirates and the Madrid Kings both continued to rotate in unison to prepare for the Champions League.

At the same time, in this round of the league, the highlight is the "Barcelona City Derby", where Sarria will face Catalonia at home.

Both the King of Madrid and the Pirates are counting on Sarria to block the Catalan at home. Even if they can't win, they have to tie their opponents and slow down the progress of the Catalan.

In this way, the two Madrid teams can have more room for strategic maneuvering.

Hu Lai also made a solemn promise to Brother Huan in front of other people in the group that if Brother Huan could help Sarria defeat Catalan United, he would treat Brother Huan to three meals.

Even if Sarria is drawing with Catalan United, he will treat Brother Huan to a meal.

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man. The whole team of Sarria performed very tenaciously and outstandingly in this derby.

In front of Rosas, the midfield master, Zhang Qinghuan was not stage-frightened, and played well. He sorted out Sarria's midfield attack in an orderly manner, and at the same time, he occasionally threatened the goal guarded by Cordero with his long shots. .

It was not until the 80th minute that Catalan United won a slightly controversial penalty.

Then through this penalty kick, Catalan United took the lead by one goal. And maintained the lead until the final whistle...

Catalan defeated Sarria 1-0 away, clearing another obstacle on the way forward.

Replying to their rivals, the rotating King Madrid showcased their recent form with a 5-0 home win over Valero.

The Madrid Pirates, who challenged Atletico Vizcaya in an away game, won 2:1 with difficulty.

With 30 minutes left in the game, the Madrid Pirates led their opponents 2:1. It stands to reason that it is very unsafe to lead by one goal, but Parotti still replaced Hu Lai early.

The main reason is that they are afraid of Hu Lai's hands-Sporting Vizcaya has the fine traditions of the Basque nation, has a great fighting spirit, and plays very rough. They fouled frequently when the score was behind, and they were shown a total of six yellow cards and one red card by the referee.

Parotti was really afraid that Hu Lai would be hurt by the red-eyed Basques.

Fortunately, Athletic Biscay failed to score a goal in the end.

The Madrid Pirates escaped with a three-pointer without any risk.

Now they can play the Champions League with peace of mind for the time being.
