After the draw for the Champions League quarter-finals, everyone has a clear goal.

But what should be done next?

After all, the Champions League quarter-finals won't start right away.

According to the schedule, the first leg of the quarter-finals will not be played until April 2.

There are two rounds of league games and two national team games before this.

Since there is a World Cup this summer, the schedule is very intensive near the end of the season.

From then until the end of the season, there were almost double games every week.

The physical demands on players are higher and they are more prone to injuries.

Therefore, before the World Cup, the probability of players getting injured will increase a lot.

At the same time, the performance of the players will also be affected - many players will not be able to give their best because they have to protect themselves during the game.

It's hard to fault such an approach.

After all, no one wants to say goodbye to the World Cup because of an injury in a club game when they are about to participate in the World Cup.

Club competitions are held every year, and the World Cup is held every four years. If you miss it once, you have to wait another four years.

And how many four years does a player's career last?

Moreover, it is hard to say whether the national team can still reach the World Cup after the players have recovered their health four years later. Isn’t Maxi Carey a similar example?

While his career was on the rise, his Dutch national team failed to reach the World Cup.

When he was at his peak and brought the Dutch national team to the World Cup, he was injured during the World Cup training and had no choice but to bid farewell to the World Cup.

The first person among the "Four Heavenly Kings" has never participated in the World Cup in his career... It is incredible to say it.

Fortunately, he probably won't be absent this time.

The Netherlands still reached the World Cup finals this year, and his move to Leeds City did not affect Carey's performance. Whether in the national team or in the club, he performed well and was an important core of these two teams.

As long as he is not injured, he will definitely be able to participate in the World Cup this year. And he will participate as the main core of the Dutch national team.

The Champions League draw is over, and national leagues are ushering in the weekend matchdays. Pirates of Madrid challenge Valentia away.

So far this season, Valentia is ranked ninth in the league and has performed poorly.

However, there are still twelve rounds before the end of the league, so there may not be a chance of reaching the top six in the league again and qualifying for the Europa League.

And if you want to achieve this goal, of course you have to start from the next round of the league.

Because their opponent in this round of the league is Madrid Pirates, they can only avoid its edge for the time being.

In the end, with goals from Jule, Camara and Di Kunzo, Madrid Pirates defeated Valentia 3:1 away from home.

Hulay did not play the whole game. After he opened the scoring for the team in the first half, he was replaced by Parotti in the 58th minute.

This is because there is a league game next Tuesday, and then Hu Lai will fly a long distance back to China to participate in two national team games.

Parotti fully considered Hulay's fatigue from the long journey. In order not to increase the risk of injury to Hulay, he chose to replace Hulay in advance.

Anyway, at that time Madrid Pirates already had a two-goal lead over Valentia.

Even if Hu Lai is gone, there are still other masters there, so the team won't collapse if Hu Lai is replaced.

Sure enough, after replacing Hulay, Madrid Pirates and Valentia scored one goal each in the remaining games. 3:1, Madrid Pirates still won.

In this round of the league, the other two Western Premier League teams also won, which is nothing to say. Worth mentioning is the Royal Cathorn.

They lost 0:1 at home to Canaria, the newly promoted team currently ranked 16th in this round of the league.

Their streak of four consecutive league games without a win continues.

And all of this originated from the 25th round of the league, when they challenged Madrid Pirates away from home.

Since 0:, Royal Cathorn has not recovered yet.

As for the Danish international Jakob Tipland who caused all this...

Although he angered Hulay and brought the team the most painful defeat against Madrid Pirates.

But as the absolute main force of the team, Tipland did not lose the opportunity to play in the game.

Royal Cathorn still gave him enough playing time and opportunities to help him regain his form.

But it is a pity that now that four games have passed, Tiplande's condition has not only not recovered, but has become worse...

So in the 60th minute of the loss to Canarias, Jacob Tipland was replaced by Real Catajon head coach Benjamin Gonzalez.

But this still failed to change the result of Royal Caterhorn's defeat.

At the same time, Sporting Vizcaya defeated Sporting Oviedo 2:0 in an away game and rose to fifth place in the rankings, only six points away from fourth-placed Real Catajon.
