Like! Haaland left, Salah lost the election, Spain and France can only bow to reality

On every national team match day, apart from the victory or defeat on the field, what do everyone care about most? Yes, injuries are the club's biggest concern, and being able to return to the team healthy is the biggest gain. In the past few days, Haaland left the team and Salah was not selected. The two teams demonstrated what real protection is, which is worthy of praise. On the other hand, Spain and France can only bow to reality helplessly.

With a five-goal victory, the goal difference advantage increased from 16 goals to 19 goals. It seems that Norway will have no difficulty in qualifying for the World Cup. Due to a bye this week, Norway only arranged one friendly match and announced that due to the intensive schedule, many players, including top star Haaland, can take a vacation and return to their clubs early, while re-recruiting many players to participate.

In the past two games, Haaland scored a total of 8 goals, almost crushing Italy's idea of ​​directly advancing. Perhaps, Norway's subtext is that because there is no problem with the World Cup, Haaland can leave. Of course, Norway cannot open the champagne in advance. Some teams have paid a heavy price for this. Although there is a gap of almost 20 goals, the points are still 3 points short. Only by defeating Estonia in the next round can they feel at ease. Even if they lose to Italy in the last round, it doesn't matter.

For Egypt, after qualifying for the World Cup a few days ago, the whole team was relieved. The main forward Salah was not selected from the squad in the last round and did not have a minute of playing time. Seeing this, Liverpool should be the happiest. Salah scored twice to help the national team advance, and then got a complete rest. Not only did his confidence improve, but his physical fitness was guaranteed. They will face Manchester United on the weekend and Frankfurt next week. Who is afraid of whom?

Other teams have similar practices, such as the Netherlands. Hrafnberch was replaced early and replaced by Reinders. Regarding the player swap between Manchester City and Liverpool, head coach Koeman only had a simple explanation and did not want to take any risks. Depay was also replaced later, and Koeman further added that players need to participate in more games at the club to be in better shape for the national team, and it is important to stay healthy.

I wonder how Southgate would feel after hearing these words. Manchester United fans are very confused as to why a friendly match must be played behind closed doors. As a result, Jones is absent for a long time. Not only does the club suffer losses, but so does the national team. There is also Luke Shaw, who played injured in the European Cup and did not come on as a substitute until the semi-finals. He lost in the starting lineup in the final. Is this really a wise choice?

In the past few days, France and Spain have also encountered injuries to their stars. As for Yamal, coach De La Fuente forcibly called him in on the grounds that since he can represent Barcelona, ​​he can also represent Spain. De la Fuente's overuse of Yamal has been criticized by the outside world. This time, it caused strong opposition from Barcelona. The final result was that Spain bowed to reality, and Yamal left the national team early and did not participate in any game.

Mbappe, who had to participate, was not so lucky. After the first game, France announced that Mbappe left due to injury and could return to Real Madrid without participating in the second game. It is reported that the injury this time is still on the right ankle, which is the same position as the one injured in the league a few days ago. According to media reports, Real Madrid believes after inspection that Mbappe's injury is not too serious, and Romano also said that he may only need a week's rest.

Manchester City and Liverpool are lucky. The two main players have received understanding from the national team and have sufficient rest. Sometimes, there is actually not much conflict between the interests of the national team and the club. A player can only reflect his value if he can participate in the game. Otherwise, no matter how strong his ability is, what is the use?

Injuries are a player’s biggest enemy. We hope that every player can return healthy.
