Football King Bale
Chapter 326: Enter the playoffs
On the scene, 80,000 home team fans all cheered. This penalty is really too timely and crucial for Wales!
As long as the penalty is scored, Wales will not only be able to break the deadlock, but also gain an advantage in numbers. It is safer to win this game.
As long as this game is won, not only can the powerful Swiss competitor be eliminated, but also Wales can take the lead in the competition with Montenegro.
After all, the opponents of the last two games of Montenegro are powerful England and Switzerland!
"Swiss players are very dissatisfied. They are chasing the referee to ask for a statement. Obviously, they all think that the red card is OK, but the penalty is a bit wrong. They just had Ziegler's foul outside the penalty area. This should be It’s a free kick, not a penalty. But the referee’s attitude is very firm, pointing at his own eyes means he sees clearly."
"Indeed, he was chasing behind Bell and Ziegler all the way, we can only say that Bell's speed is too fast. We can look at the slow motion playback again, Bell just kicked Behrami away from the start, Ramsey's over-the-head kick was very beautiful, and he also cooperated very well with Bell. After Bell caught up with the ball, the speed did not decrease, and when he was facing Geller, he was passing by a pendulum. After Ziegler, there was an obvious sudden acceleration..."
"Looking at this foul again, Ziegler was obviously annoyed, and the flying shovel with his soles on the ground behind his feet, the red card was not negotiable. And when he shoveled, Bell had stepped into the penalty area, it was indeed a point Ball, no doubt."
"Bell's speed is indeed fast, and the pendulum is amazing, just like Ronaldo himself used it, and it can accelerate after passing, which really puts a huge pressure on defensive players."
"Red card plus penalty kick, this will be a key penalty to change the situation on the court."
"Look at who will take the penalty."
……
While the narrator was talking about the game endlessly, the slow screen of the Ziegler foul just played back on the big screen of the stadium, the radio also kept cheering Bell's excellent performance, and the stands on the stage Welsh fans have long waited for the carnival.
Red card plus penalty kick, which basically has determined the victory of Wales.
………………
The referee finally got the Swiss players, so that they all understand that this penalty can not be changed.
Both parties gathered outside the penalty area of the Swiss team, waiting for the upcoming penalty kick.
There is no doubt that Penalty will take the penalty. He easily deceived the Swiss goalkeeper Benooli and took a penalty to the Swiss net.
1:0!
In the 60th minute of the game, after making a penalty through a breakthrough, Bell personally took the penalty and helped Wales get the lead in the score.
And Ziegler's foul really became a turning point in the game.
Switzerland's strength is indeed better than Wales, but it is not an essential gap. After losing one person, the strength gap between the two sides has been smoothed out, or Wales has already occupied a certain advantage.
Not to mention, Wales is still at home.
In the cheering of 80,000 fans at home, Wales continued its offensive in the subsequent game, and Switzerland was completely suppressed.
And, in the 72nd minute of the game, Bell once again scored the second goal of the game through a single-handed opportunity obtained after a breakthrough.
Subsequently, both sides failed to continue to score goals, Wales defeated Switzerland with a score of 2:0, making it completely lost the opportunity to advance.
In another game in Group G, England drew Montenegro at 2:2 away.
In this way, with only the final round left, Wales led Montenegro by 4 points, and Montenegro also lost the opportunity to compete with Wales for the second.
………………
The victory of Wales at home and the draw of England at away made the game of Group G simple but not simple.
is simple, because the third and fourth teams cannot threaten the positions of the previous two teams. Not only is it impossible to achieve promotion, and even the qualification of the playoffs cannot be competed.
is not easy to say, because England has not locked the group first and won the qualifying.
Currently, the situation in Group G is as follows:
England have 4 wins and 4 draws, scored 17 goals and missed 7 goals, 10 goal difference, 16 points ranked first in the group;
Welsh 4 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, scoring 11 goals and losing 10 goals, 1 goal difference, 13 points ranked second in the group;
Montenegro has 2 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, scoring 7 goals and losing 7 goals and 0 goal difference, ranking 9th in the group with 9 points;
Switzerland has 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, scoring 10 goals and losing 10 goals, 0 goal difference, 8 points and ranking 4th in the group;
Bulgaria has 2 draws and 5 losses, scoring 14 goals and scoring 11 goals, scoring 11 goals, ranking 2nd with 5 points.
Although England leads Wales by three points and ranks first in the group, but because their eight games have all finished, and Wales has one game left, this makes Wales theoretically possible to overtake England and rise to group one. Therefore, England has not obtained the right to qualify.
However, this possibility is only theoretically possible, because in addition to leading by 3 points, England also has an advantage of 9 goal difference. Wales wants to overtake England to advance directly as the first in the group and needs to win Bulgaria by more than 9 goals in the last game!
If Wales is able to win a compact national team such as Luxembourg and Andorra with more than 9 goals, it is not possible to win Bulgaria with more than 9 goals.
In any case, Bulgaria can not lead to a Welsh group to qualify directly with a near double-digit defeat.
………………
The same is true in fact. In the final round of the group stage where Wales was visiting Bulgaria four days later, Bulgaria did not have any intention of giving up at home, but played all-out against Wales.
But after all, Wales's strength is even better. In the end, they scored a 1:0 victory over Bulgaria with a goal from Bell and scored 16 points.
Although the points are the same as that of England, there is a huge gap of 8 goals between the two sides, and Wales can only be ranked second in the group.
In this way, Wales wants to enter next year's European Cup, it is necessary to defeat the other team in the second round of the team.
The game between Wales and Bulgaria was considered to be a relatively late game, and soon after, all the teams ended the qualifiers.
Finally, Germany, Russia, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Greece, England, Denmark and Spain ranked first in the nine groups and won the direct qualifying right. In addition, Sweden in Group E finished second with 8 wins and 2 losses in the group with the best score and also received the right to qualify.
In fact, this qualifying rule is not fair for the three teams with only 5 teams in the back, because it means that they have lost 2 rounds of competition, and it is basically impossible to compete with the other six teams for the second best. Good group second.
But considerable facts doomed this kind of injustice, because today's UEFA has 55 member countries, which are hosted in Poland and Ukraine. After direct promotion, the remaining 53 countries, such a grouping is already the most fair .
Anyway, the second of the last three groups still have the chance to compete for the remaining four qualifying rights through play-offs? Some high score groups in the first six groups were third, and they felt that they were truly unfair. The third Armenia in Group B scored 17 points, and the third Hungary in Group E scored 19 points. They all got higher points than Wales, but they did not even qualify for the play-offs, which led them to Where to go?
In a similar situation, there were Group F third Israel with 16 points and Group H third Norway with 16 points as well. Their goals or goal difference exceeded Wales, but because they ranked third in the group, they did not even qualify for the play-offs.
………………
Two days later, Bell just returned to Manchester to meet the team and prepare for the weekend's Premier League, the European Cup qualifier draw draws also have results~www.readwn.com~ in Turkey, Ireland, Estonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina , Croatia, Wales, Portugal and the Czech Republic, in the second draw of eight teams, Wales and the Czech Republic were drawn together. The other three groups of opponents are Bosnia and Herzegovina against Turkey, Turkey against Croatia and Estonia against Ireland.
This sign is not a good sign for Wales, because their opponent Czech is not a good deal. Although in terms of the current world rankings, Wales ranked 37th in the world is 10 places higher than Czechs ranked 47th in the world, but the Czech Republic, which has a number of well-known stars such as Cech, Rosicky, and Baros, is not worse than Wales. , Even stronger.
However, this group is not unacceptable to Wales. After all, compared with the three top 20 teams in the world, Portugal, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, it is already a good result against the Czech Republic.
Both play-offs will take place on the next international match day, in mid-November. The schedule for Wales is first come first, then last. The first game is played on the evening of November 11 and the second round is on the evening of November 15 four days later.
Therefore, the next international competition day is really a battle of life and death for Wales!
Of course, with the qualifier group stage ended, the qualifiers scorer list has also been locked. Bell scored 9 goals in 8 group matches, and his performance was excellent, but ~www.readwn.com~ missed the top scorer, because the Dutch team's Huntelaar performance was more popular, he played together in the qualifier stage Scored 12 goals, ranking first in the shooter list. And Bell, who scored 9 goals, can only be tied with Klose in the second place. Further down are Spanish striker Villa and Finnish striker Forsell, who scored 7 goals.
