Chapter 1849

In the thirty-first round of the league, the Catalan United defeated the King of Madrid 2:1 at home, helping them continue to bite the Madrid Pirates in the standings.

The two teams currently share 83 points. It is really not until the last moment. No one knows who will win the league championship.

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

This time Catalan fans at least don't have to worry about the final moments of the league, watching Hu Lai steal the championship away from their home court.

At the same time, the matches between the two teams and their opponents in the Western Super League are all over. 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, the Catalan United will still lose the league title. Because in La Liga, it is not the total number of goals or goal difference that determines the final ranking of the league in the case of the same score, but the relationship between mutual victory and defeat.

In this individual comparison, the Madrid Pirates, who have double-killed the Catalan United at home and away, are more dominant.

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

The next week is a double match every week, which is a great test of 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 strong in order not to get injured before the World Cup?

No one can say this is bad.

So there are still surprises.

It depends on who can last till the end.

Don't look at the Madrid Pirates as the leader, but we all know that in a marathon, the leader is the most stressed.

The pressure accumulates to the end, maybe it will collapse?

So Catalan really still has a chance.

If the Catalan United reversed the Madrid Pirates to win the league championship, then their 2:1 home defeat against the King of Madrid will definitely be the most noteworthy and impressive stroke in the championship process this season.

In addition to the national derby between the Catalan United and the King of Madrid in this round of the league, there is another game that has received a little more attention.

That was Royal Catjon's away game against Aihl.

After the draw with Catalan in the last round, Royal Catjon showed a trend of recovery.

They finally defeated Aihl 2:1 in this round, and got rid of the bad luck of six consecutive rounds of invincibility.

Moreover, in the same round of the league, Sporting Vizcaya, which was ranked behind them, was tied by Real Huelva, and the Sevilla Voyagers simply lost to Sebastia 1:2 at home.

The gap between Real Caterjon and these two teams has been re-opened to six and seven points, and it seems that the qualification for the Champions League next season seems to be stable again.

※※※

After the 31st round of the league was over, all the teams didn't have a long rest, and the 32nd round started again in the middle of the week.

Until the end of the league, it was all double matches a week.

Higher requirements are put forward for all participating teams.

In the thirty-second round, Sarria faced the Madrid Pirates.

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

Sarria 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 scored 34 points and only ranked sixteenth.

In theory, they even risk relegation.

Also in theory, if they lose another game, they will basically bid farewell to their European qualifications for next season-currently they are 13 points away from the sixth place in the league, Sevilla Navigator.

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

In fact, the current situation has basically missed the European competition next season.

But just like people, if the doctor didn't announce the death, there is actually a possibility of rescue, even if the chance of this possibility is small, we can't give up.

Therefore, only if Sarria loses another game can the "doctor" declare their European qualifications to be completely dead.

In addition to the Madrid Pirates win, the King of Madrid and the Catalan United also won the ball.

They beat their respective opponents:

The King of Madrid defeated Aiher 4:0 at home, and Meli scored a goal. He has also reached 30 league goals this season.

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

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

Catalan United beat Sebastia 1-0 in the away game.

Kabanka assisted Lima to score the only goal, winning very pragmatically.

Anyway, the relationship between victory and defeat is not as good as that of the Madrid Pirates, and it is useless to get more goal difference.

It's better to be more steady, win every game first, and then wait for the Madrid Pirates to make mistakes.

Of course, Catalan also knows that the Madrid Pirates think the same way.

After playing the league in the middle of the week, it is the league again on the weekend.

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

With the World Cup approaching, the league is also accelerating.

After playing this league, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals will be in the middle of next week.

The Champions League semi-final is two weeks away.

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

Madrid Pirates vs. Samir Sporting.

If they can maintain a complete victory, they will be able to lift the league championship trophy at home.

The Champions League final kicks off on May 26.

If the Madrid Pirates can also enter the Champions League final again, Hu Lai will have to wait until the Champions League final to join the Chinese national team.

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

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

In other words, Hu Lai does not need to participate in the domestic training and selection like other international players, and can directly enter the final list of the World Cup.

This is his privilege, and only he can enjoy such a privilege in the entire national team.

Even other overseas players can't do it. After finishing their respective European leagues, they have to return to China to train and prepare for the game, and compete with the domestic international players for the final place.

So it doesn't mean that playing in Europe will definitely be selected for the national team.

Only Hu Lai is an exception.

After all, as long as Hu Lai is not injured, with his ability and state, if he still fails to be selected for the Chinese national team's squad for the World Cup, it must be a shocking scandal...

Although it is not in line with "procedural justice" to be directly selected for the final list of the national team without participating in the training camp.

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

This special arrangement is also to allow Hu Lai to rest more. Because after the Champions League final, it will not be two days before the announcement of the Chinese team's World Cup squad. There was absolutely no need for him to fly back from Spain. He participated in a two-day training camp symbolically, and flew back to Madrid with the whole team without even reversing the jet lag.

It's better to take a good rest in Madrid, relax the tired body caused by 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 the Madrid Pirates where Hou Lai is located reached the Champions League final.

If the team stops at the semi-finals, then after finishing the last round of La Liga on May 12th and participating in a simple celebration ceremony—assuming they successfully defend the league title—Hu Lai and Zhang Qinghuan will fly from Madrid together 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 all 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 Hou Lai has the opportunity to help the Madrid Pirates become the first team to successfully defend the champion after the restructuring of the Champions League.

This is making history!

Hu Lai has made a lot of history, but Chinese fans don't mind him making more history.

※※※

This round of the league~lightnovelpub.net~The Madrid Pirates where Hu Lai is located defeated Real Hullva 3:0, and Hu Lai once again staged a hat-trick, scoring all the goals of the team.

That brings his tally to fifty-five league goals this season, five short of his own record set last season.

And the league also happens to have five rounds left.

With his scoring rate and recent performance, it is entirely possible to break his own record.

Hu Lai helped the 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 fans.

But one thing that makes Chinese fans feel sad is that Sarria lost 1:2 away to Turias in this round of the league 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 last four seasons.

This team also reached the Copa del Rey final last season, but this season was reduced to fighting for relegation at the last moment.

It's really embarrassing and helpless.
