Argentine beast waist: Messi’s bodyguard

Chapter 029

At half-time, Mario Binko praised the players for their first-half performance. It was not easy to maintain a half-match draw against the First Division. Allen Willard, in particular, not only drove the back line to withstand Banfield’s bombardment in the first half, but also knocked the opposing main striker off the field, and another center was also broken by Willard’s forehead, which had a certain impact on Banfield’s attack.

If it weren’t for strengthening the defense, the Hurricanes’ offensive strength up front was weakened, and they could still be a goal ahead.

Even if no goal was scored, the 0-0 score had already made Mario Binko very satisfied.

However, he still reminded everyone that the opponent is a first-division team, and the fact that the opponent did not score in the first half does not mean that the opponent cannot score in the second half. As long as the opponent scores, the Hurricanes will be uncomfortable. Therefore, in the second half, the Hurricanes must continue to maintain the unity and fighting spirit of the first half, continue to withstand the opponent’s attack, and then strive to score.

The players nodded yes.

It was tied 0-0 at halftime, and the Hurricanes players were a lot more confident. Since the first half can force the opponent to 0-0, it is also possible to continue 0-0 in the second half. Dragging into overtime, penalty shootouts, penalty shootouts each relying on luck, as a second division team Hurricanes eliminated Banfield and advanced to the quarterfinals is really not a dream.

After a 15-minute break at half-time, the two sides fought again in the second half.

Santiago Salcedo, who was injured in the forehead by Villade, could not continue the game after all, and was replaced by Banfield with another backup striker, Neandre Chetty, at the start of the second half.

But the problem is that Neander Chetty is not a center forward, the same height as another former substitute striker Eminio Trezeguet, only a little over 170cm.

Both are point-grabbing shadow forwards who do not have the ability to compete for the top in the box and make the ball with their backs.

As a result, Banfield could only attack from the ground, make passes and cuts, and break through shots. However, the presence of Villar and Lucas Villaruel can keep most of Banfield’s attacks out of the box, and Banfield can only shoot from outside the box at most, and it is difficult to penetrate the box and shoot at close range.

Even once in a while, goalkeeper Marcos Diaz’s excellent play was able to keep the goal intact.

In the 63rd minute, Banfield tore through the Hurricanes’ defense through skillful teamwork, sent the ball into the box, and Neanderre Chetty, who came on as a substitute in the second half, grabbed the first volley.

As a result, the moment he finished shooting, Villade, who was still outside the box, had already rushed back into the box, and a flying tackle in the diagonal ground successfully destroyed the ball off the line.

“Chetty shoots!”

“Oh……”

“The ball was destroyed again by Villade.”

“Alan Villade, who has replaced Federico Bismara, has become the anchor in the Hurricanes Athletic defense, and he can be seen everywhere, often in key positions.”

‘The chance was pretty good just now, less than 10 metres from goal, and Neanderre Cech’s shot didn’t look like it was kicking, it went straight to the goal.

“If it wasn’t for Villard’s flying tackle, the goal would have been scored.”

‘Unfortunately, there was no if, and Villard once again completed an excellent defensive defense to defuse Banfield’s shot.

“In this game, I’m afraid Villard will be awarded the best player of the game again.”

“It’s really rare for a defender at the back to be named the best of the game in five games in a row.”

‘There is no doubt that Villad has become a rising star in defence, even in the First Division.

Banfield is indeed stronger overall than the Hurricanes, and most of the time Banfield is armed with the ball.

Sometimes, even if the other party doesn’t want to touch Willard, it can’t. On the one hand, Villard deliberately grabbed, on the other hand, the other players on the other side were also targeted by Hurricanes defenders, and Banfield’s ball handlers had to face Willard to break through.

This happened in the 71st minute when Banfield full-back Elveti received the ball and faced Villade’s interception. Around the ball points, there are Hurricanes players watching closely, and it is not safe to pass the ball, and they are unwilling to turn around and pass back.

So, Elveti rushed to Willard with the ball and tried to break through Willard with a bicycle, but was grabbed by a decisive slot by Villade, broke the ball, and knocked Elveti to the ground.

Elveti raised his hand and shouted to signal to the referee that Villard had committed a foul, but the referee ignored him and signaled for the game to continue.

Villard made an excellent tackle and immediately passed the ball before the rest of the opposing players could counterattack, allowing the Hurricanes to play a quick counterattack.

In previous games, the Hurricanes also had many counterattacks, but they did not take advantage of them.

This time, the Hurricanes grasped it, and after a series of passes from Lucas Villaruel, Gonzano Martinez, Torenso and Thomson Mira, Thomson Mira finally made the ball with his back in the opponent’s large penalty area, and returned the ball diagonally to the route of Torranso’s forward.

Torranso entered the box from outside the right corner of the penalty area and slammed the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal with a non-stop volley before Banfield centre-back Nicholas Binch, who was trying to fly a tackle to clear the corner.

Goalkeeper Servio reacted in time and made a save at the first time. Toranzo’s slash was too fast and angled, and although Servio could barely touch the ball with his last finger, he failed to touch the ball out of the line, but only changed the line slightly, hit the inside of the post, and then bounced into the net.

The commentators shouted excitedly:

“Goooooooooooooooooooooooal……”

“The ball went in!!!”

‘Atletico Hurricanes, playing at home, broke the deadlock first and scored to give a 1-0 lead over First Division side Banfield.

“The ball was caused by Alan Villard stealing Elveti at the back, and Elveti tried to break through Villard with a bicycle, but did not expect to be easily tackled by Villade.”

“Villade’s awareness and defensive skills, even against attacking players in the First Division, do not fall behind, and can even make easy tackles.”

“Then after a few passes, Thomson Mira turned his back in the box and made the ball to Torranso in the back row.”

‘Torranso rushed into the box and volleyed to give Hurricanes an 1-0 lead.

“The Hurricanes have a head start, and if they can keep that score until the end, the Hurricanes will knock out the First Division team once again and advance to the next round, following the previous round of Boca Juniors.”
