Football King Bale

After Prague played the European Super Cup, Bell did not return to Manchester with Manchester United. Because the next two weeks will be the national team match day, Wales will welcome two World Cup qualifiers during this period. The opponent of the first game is the fish belly Liechtenstein in the group.

Liechtenstein, also known as the Principality of Liechtenstein, is an inland pocket country in central Europe, located between Switzerland and Austria, and is one of only two dual landlocked countries in the world.

Some people say that Liechtenstein can also be described as "one country, one street", and go abroad without smoking a cigarette in the car. Liechtenstein is indeed a small pocket country with an area of ​​only 160.5 square kilometers. It is 26 kilometers long from north to south and 6 kilometers wide from east to west. It is one of the smallest countries in Europe. It only takes more than half an hour to drive a lap along its borders. The total population is only 32,000, and one-third of it is still alien population from neighboring countries. It is difficult to imagine that such a small and sparsely populated area is an independent sovereign state.

Liechtenstein has not joined the EU, so there has been little sense of presence in Europe. Liechtenstein is also the only country whose official language is German but has no borders with Germany. This small mountainous country still maintains a constitutional monarchy so far. Although the land is small and the population is sparse, it has an unusually high national income level. Swiss relations are also fully entrusted to foreign relations, and the Swiss franc is also used for currency.

Because there is no sense of existence, this country has been calm and quiet, and there is no disturbance of war. Only in 2007, a Swiss army got lost because of the storm, and ran to their country accidentally, "military aggression" without warning. Then, the proud governments of the nations were furious: we have always been well off the river, and lived peacefully and peacefully in their respective small days. Switzerland, how come you ran and beat me without saying a word! But in the end, both parties discovered that this was actually just an oolong caused by the storm.

This country was sending soldiers to participate in the war in eight ways. In 1886, when the country sent 80 soldiers, it returned 81 people. Not only were they all intact, they also brought back an Italian soldier friend, not even fighting. Presence.

Even fighting is like playing soy sauce, there is really no one.

………………

There are many interesting stories about this small country.

It is said that skateboarding on the steep steep slopes is prohibited in Liechtenstein. Because the land area is too small, the **** will go to Switzerland if it is not well controlled.

The government office building in Liechtenstein has the Prime Minister’s office upstairs, the courthouse downstairs, and the “prison” where prisoners are temporarily held in the basement. It is said that one day, the deputy prime minister was locked in the office by unsuspecting staff because of overtime. Finally, the door opened by a prisoner in the basement. Because the prison janitor came home, let him help keep the keys.

Of course, what surprised the world the most is that Liechtenstein can rent it!

Since 2011, Liechtenstein has decided to rent itself out, anyone can rent the entire country as long as they give money. The price is $70,000 per night, and can also bring a guest group of 150 people. During this period, 110 police officers from all over the country can be assigned by you, but they are very principled and need to make an appointment in advance.

During the tenancy of the country, you can taste red wine from the private wine cellar of the Prince of Liechtenstein and enjoy royal treatment; you can enjoy a large meal while overlooking the capital Vaduz in the royal palace Vaduz Castle that stands on the middle of the mountain; You can also go skiing, sledding, or watching fireworks in the winter, and take a carriage to visit the streets of Vaduz...

However, although there are many local tyrants in the world, at present the country's leaseholding business has not yet opened. Before, there was a local tyrant named SnoopDogg who once wanted to spend a fortune to rent Liechtenstein to shoot a music video. However, at a critical moment, the "small public move" government of other nations is again arrogant: renting is possible, but you did not make an appointment in advance, temporary rent, we refused.

Liechtenstein fights against soy sauce, the country has no sense of presence, and in the field of football, it is also a world-famous fish belly. The first informal match of the Liechtenstein national team was a 1:1 draw against the Malta national football team in Seoul in 1982. The first official game was two years later, losing to the Swiss team 0:1. The biggest victory the Liechtenstein team won was on October 13, 2004 in the 2006 World Cup qualifiers against the European football team another 4-0 victory over the Luxembourg national team Luxembourg. This game is also the team's first game to win and the first to defeat its opponents in the World Cup qualifiers.

In the qualifying round of the European Cup in Brazil, Liechtenstein and Wales were grouped together. In the six games that have been played, Liechtenstein has scored 2 draws and 4 losses, and the bottom of the group is very stable.

This is the second consecutive World Cup qualifier between Wales and Liechtenstein. In the South Africa World Cup qualifier four years ago, Wales was also in the fourth group with Liechtenstein, and Bell, who had just crossed through, also participated in the away and In the Liechtenstein game, Wales won 2-0 away and Bell had an assist.

Four years ago, Wales, like Liechtenstein, was a fish-bone team in the group. It was completely impossible to see the group qualify. But four years later, Wales was a strong force against Bosnia and Herzegovina and Slovakia, occupying the top of the Group G points list, and qualifying.

Things are impermanent, and it is difficult for Liechtensteiners to imagine that change will come so quickly.

Because the Liechtenstein country is too small and there is no airport in the country, Wales has to fly to St. Gallen, the northeastern city of Switzerland, which is the closest to Liechtenstein, and then travel to Vaduz, the capital of Liechtenstein-a population of only 5000 People's town.

The home of the Liechtenstein national team is called the Rhine Park Stadium, which is a small stadium that can only accommodate 6,000 people watching the ball. After all, in a small country like Liechtenstein, it is useless to build a large stadium. The stadium is located on the banks of the picturesque Rhine. A little further away is the Alps. Due to the high altitude, there is snow on the top of the mountain for most of the year, so when you play football at the Rhine Park Stadium, you can see the beautiful snow mountain scenery as soon as you look up.

However, it is early September now, but the snow-capped mountains cannot be seen.

In the face of such a fish-meat team, winning is inevitable. The most important thing for the Welsh team is how many goal difference can be obtained on them.

A year ago, in the first round of the group stage, Wales slaughtered Liechtenstein 8:1 when Bosnia and Herzegovina, the group's biggest competitor, visited the Rhine Park Stadium. This is also the biggest reason why Bosnia and Herzegovina still have the same goal as Wales with only 1 draw and 1 loss against Wales.

In this game, Wales did not pursue much, and it was enough to wipe out the number of goal difference Bosnia and Herzegovina received from Liechtenstein.

As the first person in the world football, Bell is the biggest player to come to Liechtenstein to play football. Although the qualifiers of the previous two major competitions, Liechtenstein were all in the same group with the world-class strong teams-the South Africa World Cup qualifiers were grouped with Germany, and Poland and Ukraine European Cup were grouped with Spain, but these two No one in the team has reached Bell's height yet.

Therefore, when Bell and the Welsh team arrived in Vaduz, many Liechtensteiners ran to the hotel where the Welsh team stayed and watched Bell. This caused traffic congestion that was difficult to see in Liechtenstein.

However, a day later, in the game at the Rhine Park stadium, Liechtenstein fans were a little unhappy, because Bell opened the killing ring, while performing a hat trick, he also sent two assists, mobilized a goal, led Wales in the Rhine The Park Stadium blood-washed the Liechtenstein national team with a score of 6:0.

With the hat-trick in this game, Bell also became the first player to score 10 goals in the World Cup qualifiers.

After seven rounds of group games, Wales scored 19 points with 6 wins and 1 draw. Because Bosnia and Herzegovina lost to Slovakia at home in this round~www.readwn.com~Wales lead Bosnia and Herzegovina has reached 6 points and there are 8 goal difference The advantages, combined with the record advantage in direct confrontation, the prospect of Wales qualifying has become unprecedentedly bright. If, in the next round, the Polish hacker game against Slovakia fails again, Wales is expected to obtain tickets to enter Brazil after the eight rounds of the group stage!

………………

Four days later, on the evening of September 10, Cardiff City, the capital of Wales, was able to accommodate 82,000 fans. The Millennium Stadium was full, and 80,000 Welsh fans poured into the stadium to watch a game that may have great significance for Wales.

Of course, it doesn't matter if Wales can't enter Brazil in this game. It will be a month later, because the group stage is very friendly to Wales. In the last three games, Wales will play at home and can celebrate the team's entry into Brazil at any time. .

In the end, under the leadership of Bell, despite Latvia's deadlock, it was still penetrated by Wales three times. Bell scored 1 goal and sent 2 assists, shining the audience.

However, at a critical moment, Bosnia and Herzegovina did not fall off the chain again. They beat Slovakia 2:1 away and kept the theoretical possibility of entering Brazil in the group stage.

As a result, Wales wants to qualify, at the latest until October 11 a month later.

However, some teams have obtained the qualifying right in this round. The Orange Army in Group D was a guest challenger to Andorra at the bottom of the group. After a 90-minute fierce battle, the Netherlands scored twice with Van Persie's score and defeated Andorra by 2:0. Because Romania lost to Turkey at 0:2 at home, the Netherlands won the Brazil World Cup tickets two rounds in advance with this victory and became the first European team to qualify for the Brazil World Cup.
