Argentine beast waist: Messi’s bodyguard

Chapter 084

With the referee’s whistle, the 20th round of Group B of the 2014 Aprie B play-offs, and the penultimate round of the season, officially began at the home of the Hurricanes at home ground.

Although it is home, most of the main players have been rotated, and the Hurricane Atletic team, which is staying for the next Copa Argentine final, naturally will not take the initiative to attack, but will carry out a defensive counterattack.

However, Santa Fe United did not rush into the attack. After all, this is the home of the Hurricanes, and even offense won’t necessarily break through the Hurricanes’ defenses. With the same points and just two goal difference, Santa Fe United could have waited for the Hurricanes to make a mistake because of the two-line game without necessarily having to win in this game.

In this face-to-face match, a draw is acceptable to anyone, but losing is unacceptable, and once lost, it is possible to completely lose the championship competition.

Therefore, at the beginning of the game, the desire for both sides to attack is not too strong, and it is still in the tentative stage.

After more than ten minutes, Santa Fe United began to attack uncontrollably. After all, Santa Fe United is behind on goal difference and is ranked below the Hurricanes, despite now the two teams having the same points. If you can win in a head-to-head match, you can not only overtake the rankings, but also open up the three-point gap and close the goal difference gap, which has many benefits.

If given the chance, Santa Fe United would definitely want to win.

In the 19th minute, Santa Fe United striker Malcorra cut diagonally into the box on the right flank and forward Mauricio Martinez was ready to send the ball in with a wonderful pass and provide an assist.

However, Malcorra’s running position and Mauricio Martinez’s passing intentions were seen by Villade, who moved a flying tackle in advance, intercepting the opponent’s pass just halfway and defusing a threatening attack.

Fans were still applauding Villade’s brilliant tackle, and three minutes later, Santa Fe United was back. The same routine, this time switched to the left, with another striker, Lucas Gamba, bypassing Bonnie Farshaw, who had a problem with his position, diagonally into the left rib of the penalty area.

Another Santa Fe United midfielder, Juan Rivas, shoved the ball straight through the gap between Bonnifaccio and Federico Bismara, just over Lucas Gamba’s running route.

Gamba did not stop the ball to adjust, and directly got up about 18 meters from the left rib of the big penalty area and volleyed at a small angle. Goalkeeper Marcos Dias blocked the near corner, Lucas Gamba shot into the far corner, and Dias pounced on the outside and missed the ball.

The ball evaded Marcos Dias’ ten-finger pass, flew into the goal against the far post, and hit the side-netting. Eduardo Domingos, who was trying to clear the goal line at the far end, also failed to touch the ball and fell into the goal with the ball.

“The ball went in!”

“Santa Fe United easily broke through the Hurricane Atletico defense.”

“It’s not that Villard didn’t work hard, it’s that the Hurricanes rotated too many players this time, and there was a hole in the combination of Bonnie Farshaw and Federico Bismara, allowing Lucas Gamba to run out of the gap and Juan Rivas to provide a direct assist.”

“Villade was far away and lacked the skill to watch the ball being sent into the far corner by Lucas Gamba.”

“Santa Fe United lead 1-0.”

“If the Hurricanes can’t change the status quo, they will continue to score by Santa Fe United.”

“Bonny Farshaw, Eduardo Domingos and others can’t say how bad the strength is, the main problem is the tacit cooperation of the back line.”

“A talented offensive player can penetrate the entire defense of an opponent alone, but defense is a team sport that focuses on the whole. As strong as Villade, he also maintained a superb defensive success rate by directing his teammates to assist in defense. ”

“But today’s Hurricanes, the rotation is too large, even if Willard commandes, he can’t be flexible.”

“Let’s see what Hurricane Arena has to do.”

Generally speaking, after losing the ball, the side that lost the ball will rush to the fire and start the formation pressure counterattack.

But this time, Santa Fe United ended the celebration and the game resumed, but the Hurricanes Athletic did not press the counterattack, but continued to defend. Even, Villard also beckoned the two fullbacks Fabianesi and Dalia to retreat a little deeper to help defend the area of the two ribs and prevent the same routine of being directly stuffed through the defense line by the opponent from the ribs just now.

This boosted the morale of the goal-scoring Santafe United and was ready to continue the effort, and the attack of Santa Fe United, who scored another goal, was curbed and never conceded again.

While stabilizing the defensive line, the Hurricanes naturally did not fight back a little. After all, it is they who are lagging behind now, and it will not work without fighting back.

However, in the 32nd minute counterattack, the Hurricanes had a little luck, and striker Avila received a diagonal cross from Dalia’s front field with a header, and the ball hit the crossbar, almost a little.

“The Hurricanes stabilized the line through the return of two fullbacks, and did not break through from the wing, ribs by Santa Fe United as before, and began to counterattack from time to time.”

“Unfortunately, the Hurricanes, as the home team, had a bit of bad luck and were blocked by the goal frame of their own stadium.”

‘Avila almost scored with a header from Dalia’s cross and ended up hitting the crossbar, which is a pity.

“However, now that the Hurricanes are only one goal behind, as long as they hold the defense, there is still a possibility of a tie, even at the end of the game.”

“The key is not to concede any more goals.”

It really can’t concede any more goals.

After the goal failed to score, Villard immediately beckoned Dalia, who had inserted the assist, to continue to defend the defense, first ensuring that he did not concede the ball.

Villard’s decision was prescient.

Seeing that there were only ten minutes left in the game, Santa Fe United, which had been slowed for a while, suddenly pressed en masse and launched a wave of onslaught, trying to catch Hurricane Athletic by surprise, scoring a second goal and sealing the win.

Fortunately, the Hurricane Athletic had enough numerical superiority in the back line at this time, and withstood this wave of Santa Fe United’s onslaught under the back and forth support command of Villade.

The most dangerous time was a corner kick attack by Santa Fe United in the 39th minute, center Enrique Terio had already forced central defender Bismara to grab the first point of the head to shoot, goalkeeper Marcos Díaz had already surrendered, fortunately Villard felt the danger, retreated to the goal line first, just stopped Terrio’s header and went out to relieve the siege.

Had it not been for Villade’s goal-line header, the goal would have been scored.

In football, it’s not just goals that boost morale, but also defense.

Villard’s goal line relief this time frightened the fans of the Hurricanes players and also boosted morale.

Just after the Santa Fe United attack, it was time for physical strength to slow down and take a break, and the Hurricanes took advantage of this opportunity to launch a wave of counterattacks.

In the 42nd minute, Avila crossed the ball from the right side of the penalty area, and Villad rushed up and fired a powerful long-range shot, firing a world wave with great power and speed. Unfortunately, the shooting technique was inaccurate and deflected the right column.

But under the continuous counterattack of the Hurricanes, Santa Fe United eventually had defensive holes.

In the 44th minute, just before the end of the first half, the gap in the Santa Fe United defender line was spotted by both Avila and Lucas Villaruel.

Avila slid in the gap behind defenders Britters and Barissone, and Lucas Villaruel slipped the ball straight through the gap between the two.

The goal was similar to the Santa Fe goal, and Avila also received a direct plug from Lucas in the ribs of the Santa Fe United penalty area, and volleyed the ball into the far corner.

Goalkeeper Nereo Fernandez also blocked the goal from the near corner, failing to save Avila’s ball into the far corner.

“Wow, the ball went in!”

“Avila made a contribution.”

“He received a direct shot from Lucas Villaruel and fired the ball into the Santa Fe United goal.

“The goal is almost identical to the Santa Fe goal, and the Hurricanes returned the same goal to Santa Fe.”

“The score was changed to 1-1 and they were back on the same line.”

“To equalize before the end of the first half would definitely give the Hurricanes a big boost in morale.”

The commentators were right, Avila’s goal helped the Hurricanes equalize, and everyone was very excited and hugged Avila to celebrate.

In particular, Bonnie Farshaw and Federico Bismara, who were the first to lose the goal due to a cooperation error, finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and the guilt of losing the goal caused by the cooperation error was much reduced.

The Hurricanes finished celebrating and not long after Santa Fe opened the middle circle, before a valid shot could be formed, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and the two sides returned to the locker room with a 1-1 draw.

From leading to being equalised, Santa Fe United were naturally quite unhappy, and the players were a little unhappy when they came off.

And the Hurricane Athletic, from falling behind, to the end of the first half equalized, everyone can carry a more relaxed mood, into the intermission.

At half-time, Mario Binko did not criticize the half-time performance of the defensive line. Because, when he rotated most of the players, he knew that mistakes and holes in the back line were inevitable, and it was normal for the opponent to catch the holes and score with bad luck.

However, he still asked everyone to continue to hold the defensive line in the second half as he did just now, easily not to press the attack sharply, but also to increase the running range of the three players on the front line, strengthen the number of times to return to the defense, and ensure that the back line does not concede the ball again.

Mario Binko implicitly expressed a meaning: anyway, you are all rotation players, and you don’t have to start the next Argentine Cup final, so even if you fight to cramps in this game, you must strengthen the number of back defenses, increase the frequency of back and forth sprints, and ensure that the Hurricanes are both offensive and defensive.

Fabiannesi and others have heard the meaning of the manager’s words, although it is a little uncomfortable, but everyone is a professional and really needs excellent performances to fight for more playing time. Therefore, even if Mario Binko did not speak well, everyone nodded, indicating that they would follow his instructions in the second half and strengthen the frequency and speed of the defense.

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

As soon as the second half began, Santa Fe United launched a surprise attack, trying to take advantage of the Hurricanes’ early start of the second half and gain a sneak attack to score another goal and regain the lead.

However, the Hurricanes Athletic had enough numbers in the backline, coupled with the return of three players in the forward line, and used the numerical advantage to firmly hold the defense, which did not allow Santa Fe United to achieve results.

After more than ten minutes of attack, there was no effect, and the players of Santa Fe United were tired of running, and finally slowed down the offensive, and the Hurricane Athletic team could also take a break, and the two sides entered a stalemate phase.
