Argentine beast waist: Messi’s bodyguard

Chapter 027

After all the 9th round of league games, Hurricane Athletic, who lost 1-0 away from home, slipped to 5th place, which was somewhat unsatisfactory.

Although there are 5 promotion places in Group B of A B, only the top four are directly promoted to the first division, and the fifth and sixth places need to play the promotion play-offs to determine the last promotion place.

Therefore, only finishing in the top four is the safest.

However, now the Hurricanes have to focus more on the Argentine Cup, and the league can only play after the cup to catch up.

On Thursday, September 25, Krissna and they had a class. However, in order to watch Willard’s game, the three took a group leave of absence and skipped class to come to Thomas Duke Stadium to cheer for Willard.

Anyway, they studied music, and it didn’t matter if they missed a lesson or two.

The weather was also good, with the 48,000-capacity Thomas Duke Stadium fully full, and some fans outside even couldn’t buy tickets to enter.

The reason for this is that the Hurricanes beat Boca Juniors in the last round of the Copa Argentina, and now fans are more concerned about the Hurricanes’ performance in the Copa Argentine than they are in the second league.

Now it’s the round of 16, winning one game is the round of eight, winning two games is the top four, winning three games is the final, winning four games is the championship, which is much more exciting than the Arab League B.

Moreover, if you win the championship through the Argentine Cup, you can directly enter the South American FA Cup (equivalent to the Europa League) next season as a team in the Arab Second Division, which is naturally much cooler than playing the Arab Second League, which is also the reason why the low-level teams of various countries play the cup game particularly vigorously, and the cup is particularly prone to upset.

The Hurricanes’ opponent in this game was not a second division team, but Banfield in the first division. But Banfield is currently only fourth from bottom in the First Division, and has not tasted a win in the last four rounds, and is not in good form, which is a good time for the Hurricanes to upset.

Therefore, it is understandable that Thomas Duke Field is full. Even if they are not die-hard fans, they want to see if the Hurricanes can beat the First Division team in a shock, and then take a step forward to reach the quarterfinals.

When Willard entered the stadium with his teammates to start the pre-match warm-up, he was also shocked by the momentum of the entire stadium being filled.

A match for a second division team, with as many as 48,000 seats filled, is unimaginable in China.

In the domestic second division league, even if the free ticket is difficult to sit halfway, the atmosphere is indeed very different.

What touched Willard even more was that when Willard appeared on the field, there were many fans in the stands who cheered him on with slogans or photo spray portraits in support of Willard.

Starting four consecutive games and being named Match of the Match for four consecutive games, Villade’s performance has been recognized by many Hurricanes fans and converted into his fans.

A defender at the back, receiving greater recognition than a striker, really proves that Villade’s performance is much higher than that of other teammates. Even Gonzano Martinez, who has already attracted the attention of the giants of the First Division, has not had as much limelight as Villard in these games.

Villade’s defensive ability has indeed become a superior existence in the second division.

After warming up, returning to the dressing room, Mario Binko clapped his hands and attracted everyone’s attention and said: “We lost 1-0 in the last round of the league and fell to 5th in the standings, everyone knows why, just to preserve our strength and prepare for today’s game. ”

‘If we can win Benfield today and advance to the quarter-finals of the Copa Argentino, then our last round of rotation will be wise and will be praised by the fans.

“And if we don’t win today, the last round of rotation will be worth the loss.”

‘Banfield, despite being a First Division team, is currently in the bottom four and has not won a single game in the last four league games and is in poor form.

“This game is our home stadium again, with more than 40,000 home fans cheering us on, and it is a great opportunity to advance to the quarter-finals.”

When he said this, all the players seemed excited, as if they had won Banfield.

But at this time, Mario Binko said:

“But remember, Banfield is a First Division team, we are a Second Division team.”

“Even if they are ranked fourth from the bottom in the First Division, they are still a First Division team after all, and the average strength of the team is still stronger than ours.”

“We are only fifth in the second B, so I hope everyone is calm, cautious and not contemptuous.”

“Our strength is weaker than Banfield, after all, and there is no reason to despise each other. We can only go all out to win with tenacious fighting spirit, unity style, fighting spirit that never gives up, and the advantage of fighting at home. ”

“I hope you keep it in mind.”

After listening to the coach’s reminder, some of the players who had already been in love with their hearts came to their senses and recognized their positioning.

Indeed, as Mario Binko said, no matter how bad Banfield’s form is, people are a first-division team after all. And the Hurricanes, not only the second division team, but even in the second division team can only rank in the middle of the current ranking, what reason is there to despise others?

If you don’t pay attention to it, if you lose the ball when the time comes, it will become a laughing stock: “A second-division team still dares to despise the first-class team, is it educated?” ”

Mario Binko is indeed very level, accurately found everyone’s bad signs and reminded them.

In this way, the Hurricane Athletic team can be regarded as truly upset. Even so, this possibility will not be very high, and it will require everyone to go all out in the game, fight tenaciously, and do their best to fight for it.

But in the end, there is a glimmer of possibility.

After an appearance ceremony, at 16:00 on September 25, with the referee’s whistle, the 2013/2014 Copa Argentine 1/8 final Hurricane Athletic host Banfield game officially began to the cheers of 48,000 people at Thomas Duke Stadium.

Mario Binko reminded the players to face each other squarely and not to take the enemy lightly, and he did the same himself.

Even at home, even if the opponent has not been in good form recently, Mario Binko still sent a defensive counterattack formation of 4231 instead of the usual 352 to play against a first-division team.

The starting goalkeeper will be Marcos Diaz No. 1, returning from injury, and the back line from left to right is No. 4 Santiago Echeberia, No. 5 Federico Bismara, No. 2 Mancinelli, No. 6 Elamspé, No. 33 Allen Villaraud, No. 8 Lucas Villaruel, No. 31 Giman Mandalino at left, No. 18 Torranso at right, No. 10 Gonzano Martínez in front and Thomson Mira at the front.

Once the game began, the Hurricanes stood on the defense, waiting for the opponent to attack, and did not rush forward.

Banfield, on the other hand, is a mid-table team in the second division, and they must take advantage of the game to boost morale due to their poor recent record.

Although the Hurricanes had beaten Boca Juniors 2-0, they didn’t really care, feeling that the game was a stroke of luck for the Hurricanes.

The recent record of the Hurricanes in the A-B League is not good, currently ranked 5th in the A-B League, even the A-B can’t be ranked at the top, how can they compete with a first-class team like them?

Therefore, Banfield did not cower because of the away game, but boldly pressed forward to attack, trying to use the tide of the First Division team to defeat the Hurricanes and win a big victory.

Of course, Alan Villade, a recently rising player who has been able to overwhelm the attacking player in every game to be named the best defender of the game, still made Banfield a little scrupulous, and the offensive moment deliberately avoided Willard’s defensive zone.

In the 4th minute, Banfield’s forward Casares attracted Villade’s defense with the ball before suddenly shifted the ball to the left wing, where their left-back Nuire received the ball and crossed from the bottom of the left flank, and center Santiago Salcedo snatched the first point in the middle to compete for the top goal.

The ball managed to get over the frame, but unfortunately it was a little right, and goalkeeper Marcos Díaz did not make a low-level mistake and held the ball firmly in his arms.

In the 7th minute, Banfield crossed from the right to once again create momentum in the penalty area. But this time, the first point was grabbed by Mancinelli, who did not allow the opponent to form an effective attack.

Seeing that the opponent deliberately avoided his own defense area and attacked from the wing, Willard also began to adjust his defensive strategy, while expanding the running distance, compressing the opponent’s side offensive route, on the other hand, he also paid attention to the return defense at any time, when the opponent successfully crossed the bottom, he could also return to the box to participate in the competition, or keep an eye on the opponent’s attacking players, so as not to let the opponent easily compete for success.

In the 14th minute, Banfield full-back Noguera suddenly stepped forward and crossed through Lucas Villaruel with a two-on-one cross and hoisted the ball into the box.

Banfield centre-forward Santiago Salcedo, forward Cazarez, shadow striker Nicolas Bertolo and others all entered the box to participate in the competition, and Villard was closest to the opposing shadow striker Bertolo, so he posted it.

As a result, the ball landed near Villard and Bertolo, and Villard used his keen awareness to judge the landing point first, and then used his physique to jam the position and easily push the ball out of the box.

But Nicolas Bertolo may not be convinced that the ball was snatched by Willard to the first point, and at the moment Willard jumped up to clear the ball, he reached out and pushed Willard’s waist.

Willard was caught off guard, lost his center of gravity and fell from the air, if not for his good agility, he reached out in time to make a protective movement on the ground to cushion it, and he would have fallen and injured.

The referee’s whistle sounded and Nicolas Bertolo was shown a yellow card.

However, Bertolo was unapologetic, and when Verad got up, Bertolo sneered at Verad defiantly.

Willard did not respond immediately, but took note of it, ready to teach the other party a lesson.

On the one hand, it is because he wants to maintain his tough-guy and bestial character on the court to take revenge on his opponents; On the other hand, Banfield’s offense is indeed a little fierce, if you can hurt Bertolo and affect the opponent’s tactical arrangement and psychological state, you may be able to relieve the defensive pressure of the Hurricane Athletics.
