Fox in the Penalty Area

Li Qingqing did not give the King of Madrid a bad character.

With Mellie Banega's goal in the 78th minute, the Madrid Kings, who were short of one player, finally defeated Catalonia 4:3 at home.

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

All games between the Madrid Kings and the other two Spanish Super League teams in the league this season are over. Neither the Madrid Pirates nor the Catalan United can directly threaten them.

Even if the Madrid Pirates defeat Baetic next, as long as the Madrid King himself makes no mistakes and maintains a complete victory, he will be able to maintain this one-point lead.

There is still a strong dialogue between Madrid Pirates and Catalan United, which is the final round of the league, when Catalan United faces Madrid Pirates at home.

If the just-concluded "El Clasico" was a "snipe-clam fight" for the Madrid Pirates, then the 38th round of the league in which the Madrid Pirates challenged Catalan United away from home was, for the Madrid King, It’s also a battle between snipe and clam, and this time they, the “fisherman”, will most likely have the last laugh. .

Because in the last round, the Kings of Madrid not only played at home, but their opponent was Saria, who was not very strong.

Even if the Madrid Pirates maintain a complete victory in the following league games and are always only one point behind the Madrid Kings, it will be very difficult for them to defeat Barcelona away from home in the last round.

It is definitely more difficult than the Kings defeating Sarria at home.

Who says La Liga isn't competitive?

The competition for the league title this season has become extremely fierce - a team like Madrid Pirates, which maintained a twelve-game winning streak at the beginning of the league, only lost two games in the 28th round of the league, but lost the first place in the league because of a draw. location, and it was so difficult to regain the beach.

Originally, the Madrid Pirates hoped that the Kings would lose to Catalonia United in this round of "El Clasico", but Melli's goal disappointed them.

The next day at the team's last preparation meeting before the game, head coach Parotti could sense the Pirates players' disappointment with the result of yesterday's "El Clasico" and comforted them:

"Put aside the results of yesterday's game and don't think about what will happen after the eight or nine rounds of the league. Win today's game first. If we can't even win our own game, don't expect our opponents to make mistakes!"

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

Everyone's expressions were also very serious.

Starting from the fifteenth round, Madrid Pirates have been at the top of the league for thirteen consecutive rounds. For most of this season, Madrid Pirates also lead the standings.

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

At that time, I thought I would get it back soon.

Who would have thought that Catalonia United could not stop the progress of the King of Madrid in the "El Clasico".

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 this, forget about the league championship.

Professional players have a very important ability, but it is always easy to be ignored by outsiders.

That is the ability to adjust mentally.

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

Because professional players always have to face failure and various situations that don't go as they wish.

If you get angry when encountering this kind of situation and keep holding on to it, you are likely to drive yourself crazy sooner or later.

Therefore, how to face failure correctly and deal with situations that are beyond your plan is particularly important.

Now the Madrid Pirates players must quickly adjust their mentality and play well in the next game against Baetic. Instead of thinking about the fact that the King of Madrid defeated Catalonia United in the "El Clasico".

※※ ※

In the away game between Madrid Pirates and Baetic, Hulay started.

But he did not score in this game.

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

However, Madrid Pirates still defeated Baetic 2:0 away from home with goals from Tonini and Irazusta.

After 29 rounds of the league, Baetic has only accumulated 19 points, ranking at the bottom and the favorite for relegation.

So even though Parotti rotated the lineup to a certain extent in this game, it did not affect the final result.

With far superior strength than Baetic, the Madrid Pirates won easily.

In the 30th round of the league in midweek, Madrid Pirates faced Real Huelva at home.

Parotti continued to rotate, and Hulay did not even start.

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

Seeing that although the team had the advantage, it was still unable to score, Parotti replaced Hulay in the 60th minute.

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

His goal was also the only goal in the game.

With this goal, Madrid Pirates defeated Real Huelva 1:0 at home.

At the same time, Catalonia defeated Samirspor 3:0 at home, and Kings of Madrid defeated Sevilla Navigators 2:1 away.

All three teams in the Spanish Super League have won. In terms of points, the Madrid Kings rank first with 77 points.

Madrid Pirates are in second place with one point less.

Catalonia United ranks third with 73 points.

From a points perspective, the situation is not favorable for Catalonia United. If the three teams keep winning like this until the last round of the league, then Catalonia, which is four points behind the Kings, will not be able to surpass the Kings and become the league champion even if they defeat the Madrid Pirates at home.

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

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

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

Even if it is a wealthy club, the Champions League games will definitely affect the league.

After the thirty-round round, the Champions League quarter-finals will follow in the middle of the week.

The Kings first face the Blue and White Munich at home on Tuesday, which is the "European Derby".

On Wednesday Pirates of Madrid travel to Valencia to face Valentia in what is the "Spanish Civil War".

Don't look at the fact that Valentia is regarded as a "Champions League gift package" by the other seven teams. They are currently ranked ninth in La Liga. Whether they compete for the league championship or qualify for the Champions League, they have basically slim hope - they are one step away from the league's third place. There is a full sixteen points difference between the four Sporting Vizcaya teams.

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

Maybe they will fight against Madrid Pirates in the two-leg quarter-finals and strive to reach the Champions League final and create a miracle?

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

The Champions League is a cup competition, and the chance of upsets in the cup competition is much higher than in the league.

If the Madrid Pirates are distracted from the league, it might really be possible for Valentia to overturn.

Just like Serie A giant Insoubre.

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

At the same time, the highlight of this round of the league is the "Barcelona City Derby", with Saria hosting Catalonia United.

Both teams, the Kings of Madrid and the Pirates, are counting on Saria to stop Catalan United at home. Even if they cannot win, they must draw their opponents and slow down the progress of Catalan United.

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 others in the group that if Brother Huan could help Saria defeat Catalonia United, he would treat Brother Huan to three meals.

Even if Saria draws with Catalonia United, he will treat Brother Huan to a meal.

There must be a brave man under a heavy reward, and the Saria team performed very tenaciously and well in this derby.

Zhang Qinghuan did not show any stage fright in front of Rosas, the midfield master. He played in a orderly manner and kept Sarria's midfield attack in order. At the same time, he occasionally threatened the goal guarded by Cordero with his long shots. .

It wasn't until the 80th minute that Catalonia won a slightly controversial penalty kick.

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

Catalan United defeated Saria 1:0 in an away game and cleared another obstacle on the way forward.

In response to their competitors, the Madrid Kings, who played in a rotating lineup, defeated Valero 5-0 at home, demonstrating their recent excellent form.

The Madrid Pirates, who challenged Atlético Vizcaya away from home, won with difficulty 2:1.

With thirty minutes left in the game, Madrid Pirates led their opponents 2:1. It stands to reason that a one-goal lead is very unsafe, but Parotti still replaced Hulay early.

The main reason is that they are afraid of being in the hands of Hulay - Sporting Biscay has the fine traditions of the Basque nation, has a fighting spirit and plays very rough. They frequently committed fouls while trailing, and were shown a total of six yellow cards and one red card by the referee.

Parotti was really afraid that Hulay would be injured by the red-eyed Basque.

Fortunately, Sporting Vizcaya failed to score in the end.

The Madrid Pirates escaped with three points without any danger.

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