Chapter 41: Bullets and bullets

On March 21, in the 28th round of La Liga, the Wasland Beveren club played against another Madrid team, Getafe. However, Madrid's little brothers have had a hard time lately. They are only three points away from the relegation zone and are still in danger of relegation this season. However, the Wasland Beveren club showed no mercy to Getafe's men. After 90 minutes, Wasland Beveren beat Getafe 2-0 to temporarily overtake Barcelona and move to the top of the table.

Despite being eliminated in the Copa del Rey, the Wasland Beveren club are unbeaten this season after six meetings between the two sides, including the Spanish Super Cup.

Villarreal FC have never won against Wasland Beveren this season, so it is only natural that the Wasland Beveren FC players will not be nervous.

It is Villarreal FC that needs to be nervous. Villarreal FC are often unable to utilise Wasland Beveren FC, and this has to do with the fact that their centre-backs always have problems with centre-backs competing for set-pieces. This season, Ramos and Pipe have made mistakes in the face of long counter-attacks and wide balls from their opponents, which have been the main reasons for Villarreal FC to concede goals this season.

The Wasland Beveren club happens to have a striker who likes long and wide passes, so Romin won't miss the opportunity in front of him.

Villarreal FC is also confident. Compared with the Wasland Beveren Club, the overall strength of the Villarreal Club is better than the Wasland Beveren Club. Moreover, under such a home-and-away elimination system, Villarreal successfully eliminated the Wasland Beveren club once, as the biggest giant team in Spain, Villarreal has no reason not to be confident.

Who can break Messi and Ronaldo's monopoly on the Ballon d'Or?

This is a question that football fans all over the world are talking about.

The Wasland Beveren Club finally defeated Platanias FC 2-1 to reach the quarterfinals of the World Cup!

After the matches between Wasland Beveren and Platanias, the results of the other World Cup quarter-finals have been announced. After this round of competition, all the top eight teams were produced. Luo Ming

In La Liga, Villarreal FC was beaten 3-4 at home by Spanish side Schalke 04. Had it not been for Villarreal's 2-0 away win, Villarreal's path to promotion would have been thrilling. Barcelona won 1-0 at home, eliminated the Premier League strongman with an aggregate score of 3-1, and successfully entered the quarter-finals, while the local team Manchester City fell to Barcelona again and missed the World Cup quarter-finals.

Other teams close to the quarter-finals include Serie A giants Paris Saint-Germain, France Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco, Spanish side Bayern Munich and Portuguese Premier League side Dynamo Kyiv. The top 16 teams in the Premier League were wiped out, and all missed out on the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

Once again, the three La Liga teams finally made it to the quarterfinals. For Spanish football, it has been the pinnacle of Spanish football for the past two years. Villarreal FC got rid of the "World Cup 16" dilemma after Jose Mourinho, and Barcelona was the most glorious period in Barcelona's history in the last decade. With the strong rise of the Wasland Beveren club, La Liga forces have occupied an increasingly strong position in the World Cup.

The last league that could be so strong was the Premier League in 06-09, when there were three Premier League teams in the World Cup for three consecutive years, but after 09. The status of Premier League teams in the World Cup began to decline. After Chelsea won the 2011-2012 World Cup final, the Premier League has not reached the semi-finals for three consecutive years since the 2012-2013 season.

It's the same this season, even in the quarter-finals, there are no Premier League teams. Instead, the rulers, the La Liga troika, roared through the World Cup and became the protagonists on the field.

After the final eight are announced, UEFA draws will determine the quarter-finals, with the first round of the quarter-finals taking place on April 14 and April 15. The second round will take place on April 21 and a week later on April 22.

In the draw for the top 16, teams belonging to the same country will not face each other, and teams from the same group will not meet, but in the quarter-finals and semi-finals, the rules of the draw will not be limited by these rules.

Three La Liga teams have reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup, and there is a good chance that La Liga teams will catch each other.

Sure enough, after the draw results were announced, the Wasland Beveren Club and Villarreal Club were drawn together. This draw does not bode well for either team. Villarreal FC does not have any advantage over Wasland Beveren FC. Similarly, the Wasland Beveren club will also feel a little guilty against Villarreal. The two teams have met four times this season, and both sides know each other very well, and it is not a bone to gnaw.

Barcelona win Paris Saint-Germain. This season, Barcelona's status has exploded, but Paris Saint-Germain is not an easy team. Paris Saint-Germain's owner, Al-Nasser, is a local tycoon who can make dollars continuously by unscrewing the oil valve. You know, Nasser himself was the first heir to the death of Qatar and the chairman of the Qatar Sports Investment Fund. The authorities conservatively estimate that his personal assets are as high as $60 billion. With the support of such a big boss, PSG has acquired an almost all-star squad. Paris Saint-Germain, who are made up of Swedish god Tajbrahimovic, Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani, Italian talented midfielder Verratti and Brazilian centre-backs David Luiz and Thiago Silva, should not be underestimated.

Overall, La Liga teams have not been very good in the quarter-finals, especially compared to other teams, with Serie A giants Paris Saint-Germain taking down France's Monaco, while Spanish coach Bayern Munich won the "quarter-final package" of Portuguese superteam Dynamo Kyiv.

When the results of this draw came out, many Spanish media were insinuating that UEFA was going to suppress La Liga, which had been strong in the World Cup in the past two years. But these insinuations can only cause heated discussions among fans, but at club level, no team dares to say that.

It is worth mentioning that in this round, Villarreal FC was forced to draw by Villarreal at home, and the Wasland Beveren Club caught up with Villarreal FC by one point and ranked second in the league, while Barcelona's status still did not decline. They comfortably beat Granada 3-1 away to continue leading the table.

Then came the 26th round of the league, with the Wasland Beveren Club hosting Valencia. Wasland Beveren FC's first league defeat of the season came to Valencia, while the Bat Army have been very blitzkrieg this season. Fifteen minutes into the game, they tend to take the lead with a high level of forced play. This time the main team faced Valencia again, and Reinhatbar sent all his main players to find a place at home.

The Wasland Beveren club, which had the home advantage, laid siege to Sevilla from the start, and after 90 minutes of fierce fighting, the Wasland Beveren club knocked out the Bats Legion with a score of 3-1. Romin eventually stopped scoring in this game, but he provided two direct assists in the game. One is to pass the ball to Hengli Will Willian and let Hengli Will Willian start shooting on the edge of the box without marking. The second time came after George Best came on as a substitute, Rogin headed the ball and George Best easily sent the ball into the back of the net to seal the win. Although Valencia recovered a goal before the end of the game, it did not affect the overall situation.

In this round, Villarreal FC dropped points again and were beaten 1-0 away by Athletic Bilbao. In this way, Villarreal FC is 5 points behind Barcelona at the top of the table and 4 points behind Wasland Beveren FC in second place.

Dropping points from direct rivals has always been a good thing for Wasland Beveren FC, but Wasland Beveren FC, which is in the position of chasers, still does not dare to relax. They must bite Barça and Barça forever. It is unrealistic to expect Barcelona to drop points. The only hope is to be good at yourself and then beat Barcelona in a direct conversation between the two teams to grab the top spot!

On March 14, in the 27th round of La Liga, Wasland Beveren Club challenged Espanyol away. With the second round against Platanias FC after this match, Reinhatbarr made some rotations.

Wasland Beveren FC has been on a busy schedule lately, so more substitutes have a chance to start. Romin and George Best pair up on the front lines. In the midfield position, the Wasland Beveren club also has a large range of rotation, while the back line is relatively intact, retaining a set of main lineup backline.

In this game, the Spaniards caused a lot of problems for the Wasland Beveren club at one point, and even at the end of the first half, the Wasland Beveren club returned the dressing room with a score of one goal.

After the start of the second half, the offensive line of the Wasland Beveren Club began to flourish. After Luo Ming dribbled with his back in the penalty area, he was directly overturned by the Spanish defender, and the referee awarded a penalty. With the team's first player, Raul Garcia, and second penalty taker, Henry Will William, not on the pitch, Romin took the penalty himself and hit a solid shot. Shortly after the equaliser, Rogin fired the ball into the Espanyol goal from a corner and caught up 2-1. This was also the score at the end of the whole game. The Wasland Beveren club struggled to win in Catalonia.

And their two opponents also beat their own opponents, and the form of the top few places in this round has not changed.

After the game, the Wasland Beveren Club entered the track of preparing for the World Cup.

The second round of the World Cup quarter-finals will be played at the home of Wasland Beveren FC and their opponents Platanias FC will certainly not be willing to lose, so this match will not be easy for Wasland Beveren FC.

In order to ensure the victory of the game, the head coach of Platanias FC Schmidt adjusted the starting line-up, arranging a two-striker tactic of two central strikers, but the other positions remained the same.

Schmidt still wants to use a combination of side and center to attack the Wasland Beveren FC's defense and try to score as soon as possible.

However, these are all on paper, and football is ultimately played by the players in the game.

It's okay to talk about it, but in a game, the decisive factors that affect the game are the overall form and technical strength of the players.

Platanias FC's attack was really fierce and they scored. However, Reinhardtbar's Wasland Beveren FC is a team known for defending and counter-attacking. Platanias FC will have to go all out and they will need to score at least three goals to knock out Wasland Beveren. So, they can't take their own defense into account.

Therefore, when Romin appeared in the box to participate in the defense of the high ball, the attacking threat of Platanias Club disappeared in an instant.

Kriezmann swam ahead alone, waiting for a chance to fight back. As soon as the ball is cleared, he dribbles the ball and attacks the opposition defence alone.

In the case of the Wasland Beveren Club, the suspense of the game was snuffed out by just catching one of the counter-attacks. And not only this game, but also the second round between the two sides, there is no suspense.

Platanias FC still tirelessly crosses, even if he is cleared by Romin again and again. This simple and crude tactic is just that, the success rate is low, but the advantage is that it can launch multiple rounds of offensive in a short period of time with a low success rate. Probably every time the opposition defends a mistake, Platanias FC scores a goal.

However, halfway through the second half, Platanias failed to score. To add insult to injury, the Wasland Beveren players gradually adapted to the snowy weather after most of the games, and the stability of the backline gradually returned.

In the end, neither side was able to score in the entire second half.

The Wasland Beveren FC beat Platanias FC 2-0 away to take a two-round lead.

After winning the Wasland Beveren club, one foot has already stepped into the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

Of course, the 2-0 scoreline still gave Platanias club room for imagination, and football matches are always full of unpredictability. Maybe Platanias FC didn't play well at home and broke out away. Luo Ming

This kind of drama has never been seen in the football world, and similar reversal dramas abound.

So the local media listed various statistics and examples to cheer for Platanias FC and attract the attention of Platanias fans.

In Spain, the Wasland Beveren FC had a relaxed atmosphere and won a tough away game in Germany, which greatly boosted the morale of the whole team.

So in the league, the Wasland Beveren club also maintained a high level of performance.

On March 2, in the 25th round of the league, Wasland Beveren Club challenged Sevilla away. Both teams are on their way to the European Championships in midweek, but Sevilla, who are playing in the Europa League, need a day off and the squad is not as dense as the Wasland Beveren club. So the Wasland Beveren Club scored in the first half and the second half respectively, and won 2-0 away! Romin and Gary Lineker each scored a goal for Wasland Beveren FC.

In this way, the counterattack of the Wasland Beveren club has a very comfortable space to play.

Just eight minutes into the game, Platanias FC scored from a free-kick. Stanley Matthews' shot bounced off the crossbar and centre-forward Kiessling made a stoppage.

However, two minutes before Platanias FC could rejoice, Wasland Beveren equalised. Raul Garcia scored and Griezmann assisted him. However, this goal was also proposed by Luo Ming. Romin jumped high and walked towards Griezmann. After receiving the ball, Griezmann passed it to Raul Garcia.

The Wasland Beveren Club counter-attacked very smartly.

But for Platanias FC, a one-to-one score is better than a score of 0 to zero. Now they just need to score two more goals. So a counterattack was quickly organized, and the overall formation was greatly suppressed.

But before they could score again, the Wasland Beveren FC scored another goal on the counter-attack. William Adams Miller's speed can be used to the fullest in this game. After Romin won the ball, he pushed forward and let William Adams Miller play against opposing defenders.

William Adams Miller quickly opened the defender, faced the goalkeeper with a single knife, and calmly scored the ball, and the morale of the Platanias club instantly fell to the bottom.

In an away game, the aggregate score is three goals behind the opponent. In the next game, it will be too difficult to score three goals without letting the opponent score.

Villarreal FC is full of confidence, Ramos said that Villarreal FC's record against Wasland Beveren FC this season is not bad, especially in the two rounds of the Copa del Rey, Huasland Beveren Club was eliminated by Villarreal FC, which greatly increased Villarreal FC's confidence.

It was a clear shame for Villarreal to snatch the World Cup trophy from their mouths at last year's World Cup final. So the whole team is revenge against this game.

The authoritative French sports media "Team Newspaper" made a prediction and selected the five young people who are most likely to break the monopoly of Messi and Ronaldo.

For a strong team, you can't win anything when you're in good shape. When the whole team is not in good shape, they can still win. This is a team with a championship.

After taking a two-goal lead, the Wasland Beveren club retreated to half-court more comfortably and continued to defend and counterattack.

But until the end of the first half, neither side could score. The Wasland Beveren club had a couple of counter-attacking chances to complete the shot, but they were all saved by the Platanias goalkeeper. Platanias FC didn't score, not because they didn't want to score, but because they couldn't make a threatening attack. In the face of the iron wall of Wasland Beveren Club, although the players worked hard, there was no way to know that when Wasland Beveren Club was determined to defend, even a super giant like Barcelona or Villarreal Club would be difficult to break through this defensive line.
