Will this be Bell's last national team game?
Ukraine eliminated Scotland
In the last 6 official matches, Ukraine achieved 3 wins and 3 draws. Especially in this European perimeter match, Ukraine drew 1-1 with the strong France at home and away.
In the last game, Ukraine showed their fighting spirit in a 3-1 victory over Scotland. Although, Scotland has stars such as Liverpool's Robertson and Manchester United's McTominay. However, Ukraine showed a more balanced overall strength and a more eager fighting spirit for the World Cup.
Ukraine eliminated Scotland!
Bel's last wish
Wales last competed in the World Cup, the 1958 World Cup, when Wales finally reached the quarterfinals. Wales has always been a shortage of talented players. Rush and Manchester United's legendary Giggs have never been able to make their debut in the World Championship because of their weak teammates.
It can be said that Bale was lucky, he led Wales to the semi-finals in the 2016 European Cup. On the one hand, it is because Bale has teammates with great strength such as Ramsey and Ben Davis, and on the other hand, it is also because of the expansion of the European Cup.
In recent seasons, Bale, who was frustrated at Real Madrid, has left all his energy to the Welsh national team. Only there can he find the joy of football. Leading Wales to the World Cup is perhaps Bale’s biggest dream.
The outside world calls on Ukraine to enter the World Cup directly
Kiev Dynamo coach Lucesku said: "Ukraine should advance to the World Cup directly, which will be a great incentive for Ukraine!"
England commentator Jim White said: "Welsh and Scotland should voluntarily withdraw from the World Cup qualifiers play-offs and let Ukraine in the same group advance to the World Cup in order to show support for Ukraine!"
such calls are unfair to Wales, and are also unfair to veterans like Bale and Ramsey. As a player, participating in the World Cup is their ultimate dream and no one can deprive them of the right to participate in the World Cup.
Wales is eager to participate in the World Cup!
match analysis
In terms of overall strength, the two sides are not much different, Wales' lineup is relatively stable, and the team cooperation is more mature. The main problem in Ukraine is that the country is now in turmoil, the players have not trained together for a long time, and the tacit understanding between them is not as good as Wales. What is more beneficial to them is that the outside world now hopes that they can reach the World Cup finals, which is an additional motivation for them.
Sports should not be mixed with politics, fans want to see the best teams and the best players in the World Cup.
is optimistic that Wales can enter the World Cup.
