Fox in the Penalty Area

??In the thirty-first round of the league, Catalonia defeated the Madrid Kings 2:1 at home, helping them continue to cling to the Madrid Pirates in the standings.

??The two teams are currently tied with 83 points. Until the last moment, no one knows who will win the league championship.

??There are seven rounds left in the league, and the two teams have no chance for direct dialogue.

??This time Catalan United fans at least don’t have to worry about the final moments of the league, watching Hulay snatch away the championship again at their home court.

??At the same time, all the games between the two teams and their opponents in the Western Premier League have ended. In the remaining seven rounds, there are only a handful of teams that can threaten them.

??It can be said that as long as they don't make mistakes, they can keep winning.

??If this is the case, Catalan United will still lose the league championship. Because in La Liga, what determines the final ranking of the league is not the total number of goals or the goal difference, but the mutual victory or defeat relationship.

??In this single comparison, Madrid Pirates, who defeated Catalonia United at home and away, is more dominant.

??But who can guarantee that they will never make mistakes in the remaining seven rounds of the league?

??There will be double matches every week, which will be a great test for the players' physical fitness.

??In addition, the World Cup is approaching, and the main players of the two teams are the main players of their respective national teams. Will they stay in order not to get injured before the World Cup?

??No one can say for sure.

??So there are still surprises.

??It depends on who can persist to the end.

??Although Madrid Pirates is the leader, as we all know, in a marathon, the leader is the most stressed.

??When the pressure accumulates to the end, it might collapse?

??So Catalan United really still has a chance.

??If Catalonia reverses Madrid Pirates and wins the league championship in the end, then their 2:1 home victory over Madrid Kings in this round will definitely be the most noteworthy and colorful event in this season's championship journey.

??In addition to the El Clasico between Catalonia and Madrid Kings in this round of the league, there is another game that has received a little more attention.

??That is the away game of Royal Cathorn against Aher.

??Real Catalon showed a trend of recovery after drawing with Catalonia in the last round.

??They finally defeated Aher 2:1 in this round, getting rid of the bad luck of not winning in six consecutive rounds.

??And in the same round of the league, Sporting Vizcaya, who was behind them, was tied by Real Huelva, and Sevilla Navigator simply lost 1:2 at home to Sebastia.

??The point difference between Royal Cathorn and these two teams has been reopened to six points and seven points. It seems that the qualification for the Champions League next season seems to be stable again.

??※※※

??After the thirty-second round of the league was over, all the teams could not rest for long. The thirty-second round started again midweek.

??Until the end of the league, there will be double matches a week.

??Higher requirements have been put forward for all participating teams.

??In the 32nd round, Sarria faced Madrid Pirates.

??Although it is a home game, there is no suspense.

??Saria lost 0:3.

??Given the strength gap between the two teams, this score is normal.

??Not to mention that Sarria's performance this season is actually not as good as the previous two seasons. After losing this game, Sarria accumulated 34 points and was only ranked 16th.

??Theoretically, they even have the risk of being relegated.

??Theoretically too, if they lose another game, they will basically bid farewell to the European Cup qualification for next season - they are currently 13 points behind Sevilla Navigators, who are sixth in the league.

??With five rounds left in the league, if we lose another game, the remaining points will not be enough to fill the huge "gap" in the middle.

??In fact, now it is basically out of the European war next season.

??But just like people, if the doctor does not declare death, there is still a possibility of rescue. No matter how small the chance of this possibility is, you cannot give up.

??So only if Saria loses another game can the "doctor" declare that their European war qualifications are completely dead.

??※※※

??In addition to Madrid Pirates winning, Madrid Kings and Catalonia also won.

??They defeated their respective opponents:

??The Kings of Madrid defeated Aijer 4-0 at home, and Melli scored. His number of goals in the league this season has also reached 30.

??If there is no Hu Lai, then he is the top scorer in the league.

??But because of Hu Lai, his number of goals in the league is not worth mentioning-because Hu Lai has scored 52 goals in the same period...

??Catail United defeated Sebastia 1:0 in an away game.

??Kabonca assisted Lima to score the only goal, and the win was very pragmatic.

??Anyway, the relationship between victory and defeat is no longer as good as that of Madrid Pirates. No matter how much goal difference there is, it will be useless.

??It’s better to be more prudent, win every game first, and then wait for Madrid Pirates to make mistakes.

??Of course Catalonia also knows that the Madrid Pirates think the same way.

??※※※

??After playing the league in the middle of the week, it’s the league again on the weekend.

??In the thirty-third round of the league, Madrid Pirates faced the seventeenth-ranked Real Huelva at home.

??As the World Cup approaches, the league is also accelerating.

??After this league game, next week will be the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

??The Champions League semi-finals are in two weeks.

??According to the current schedule, La Liga will play its final round on May 12th.

??Madrid Pirates vs. Samirspor at home.

??If they can maintain a complete victory, they can win the league championship trophy at home.

??The Champions League final will kick off on May 26th.

??If the Madrid Pirates can also reach the Champions League final again, Hu Lai will have to wait until the Champions League final before joining the Chinese national team.

??The Chinese Football Association also has a corresponding plan - if the Madrid Pirates reach the Champions League final, then Hulay will not have to fly back to China after playing in the Champions League final, but can wait directly in Madrid.

??After two days of rest, he will welcome his teammates from the national team here, and they are teammates who have been confirmed to be selected for the final roster of the World Cup.

??That is to say, Hu Lai does not have to participate in domestic training and selection like other international players, and can directly enter the final roster of the World Cup.

??This is his privilege, and he is the only one in the entire national team who can enjoy this privilege.

??Not even other overseas players. After finishing their respective European leagues, they have to return to China to train and prepare for the game, and compete with the domestic internationals for the final quota.

??So it doesn’t mean that you can be selected for the national team by playing in Europe.

??The only exception is Hu Lai.

??After all, as long as Hu Lai is not injured, given his ability and condition, if he still fails to be selected for the Chinese national team to participate in the World Cup, it will definitely be a huge scandal...

??Although being directly selected into the final roster of the national team without participating in the training camp seems a bit inconsistent with "procedural justice."

??But at this time, no one would be stupid enough to demand "procedural justice" from Hu Lai and the Football Association.

??This special arrangement is also to allow Hu Lai to rest more. Because after the Champions League final is over, there are only two days until the Chinese team’s World Cup squad is announced. There was absolutely no need for him to fly back from Spain, participate in the training camp for a symbolic two days, and fly back to Madrid with the whole team without even getting over the jet lag.

??It is better to take a good rest in Madrid, relax your body that is tired due to this high-intensity season, and release the fatigue stress.

??This is actually to better prepare for the World Cup.

??Of course, the premise of all this is that Hulay's Madrid Pirates reach the Champions League final.

??If the team stops in the semi-finals, then after playing the last round of La Liga on May 12 and participating in a simple celebration ceremony—assuming it successfully defends the league championship—Hu Lai will join Zhang Qinghuan. Depart from Madrid and fly back to China.

??Then he and his international teammates gathered in China for training in preparation for the World Cup.

??Just like four years ago.

??But Chinese fans hope that Hu Lai will not return to China to prepare for the World Cup, but stay in Madrid, Spain to enjoy exclusive privileges.

??Because this means that the Madrid Pirates have reached the Champions League final again, and Hulay has the opportunity to help the Madrid Pirates become the first team to successfully defend the Champions League title after the restructuring.

??This is making history!

Hu Lai has already created a lot of history, but Chinese fans don't mind him creating more history.

??※※※

??In this round of the league, Julay's Madrid Pirates defeated Real Huelva 3:0. Julay once again scored a hat trick, scoring all the team's goals.

??This brings his league goals this season to 55, five goals short of the record he set last season.

??The league also happens to have five rounds left.

??With his scoring rate and recent performance, it is entirely possible to break the record he created.

??Hulay helped Madrid Pirates win and continue to lead the league standings. This is something that makes Chinese fans very happy - except for a very small number of Chinese Madrid King fans and Catalan United fans.

??But one thing that makes Chinese fans sad is that Saria lost 1:2 to Turias in this round of league away game and completely lost the qualification to participate in the European war next season.

??Not only that, Sarria's league ranking is also the lowest level in the past four seasons.

??This team also reached the King's Cup final last season, but this season was reduced to fighting for relegation at the last moment.

??It’s really sad and helpless.
