Argentine beast waist: Messi’s bodyguard

Chapter 087

After a ceremony of group photo, handshake and edge picking, on 26 November 2014, with the referee’s whistle, the 2013/2014 Argentine FA Cup final between Rosario Central vs Atlético Hurricanes officially began at the famous Candy Box Stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Commentators from all over the country and even other countries that broadcast the game excitedly:

“The referee blew the opening whistle and the game officially began.”

“Rosario Central wears a blue-and-yellow sword shirt jersey and attacks from the left side of the screen to the right; Wearing a white jersey, Athletic Hurricane attacked from the right side of the screen to the left. ”

“Let’s take a look at the starting line-ups of both sides.”

“Rosario Central is currently 18th in the Primera Diliga, that is, third from the bottom, but they shocked the nation by bloodbathing Argentine independence 5-0 in the last semi-final.

‘In this game they played 442 midfielder diamond-shaped position, goalkeeper No. 1 Calanta, defenders from left to right No. 3 Delgado, No. 21 Y Gomes, No. 2 Donati, No. 4 Paolo Ferrari, No. 5 Musto at the back, No. 8 Barrientos on the left, No. 7 Encina at the right, Pablo Becker No. 11 in the front, two high school forwards No. 9 Nel and No. 17 José Valencia.”

“Obviously, Rosario Central is going to use a two-center tactic to offset the air advantage of many of Attico Hurricane’s high defenders and strive to score.”

“Atletico Hurricanes come from the second division and are currently ranked first in the second division and have the highest points in the second division.”

“They eliminated Boca Juniors, Banfield, Estudiantes de La Plata and La Ferna in the first few rounds in a row, and made it all the way to the final.

“If the Hurricanes can win the championship against Rosario Central in this match, it will create a miracle for the second division team to win the top cup in China.”

“Let’s take a look at the starting lineup of the Hurricanes.”

“Instead of playing the 352 one-back formation that they are good at, the Hurricane Athletic team played the 4231 defensive counterattack formation.”

“Obviously, facing Rosario Central, who were bloodied 5-0 in the previous round, the Hurricanes decided to focus on stability, avoid its edge, and defend their defense first.”

‘Their goalkeeper will be Marcos Díaz No. 1, Santiago Echeberia at left-back, No. 2 Mancinelli and No. 5 Federico Bismara in double centre-back, and No. 6 Elamspé at right-back.”

“All four defenders are big men over 180cm tall and have a strong air advantage.”

“The double back is the current flagship of Atletico Hurricanes, No. 33 Allen Villard and No. 8 Lucas Villaruel. Whether Hurricane Athletics can win this game depends on Alan Villade’s play and leadership ability. ”

“The left midfielder is No. 31 Gieman Mandalino, the right-winger is No. 18 Torranso, the front is No. 10 Gonzano Martinez and No. 17 Thomson Mira plays as a single striker.”

“At the moment both sides are in the probing stage, neither of them pressed the attack and passed the ball back when they were slightly blocked.”

“It’s a championship battle and no one wants to make a mistake.”

“The so-called nameless game in the finals, this game from the Hurricanes changed the formation from their usual 352 to 4231, we can imagine that this game will not score too many goals.”

“Even with Rosario Central’s ability to wash his opponent 5-0 in the last round, I am afraid it will be difficult to score too many goals for Hurricane Athletic.”

“After all, at the back of the Hurricanes Athletic team, it is Alan Villade, the defensive leader who has already attracted attention in the A-League giants.”

“If Hurricane Athletic hadn’t completed the contract extension with Villard in time, if it wasn’t for the end of this season, Villard would have been poached by other teams.”

……

In the nagging of the commentators, the two sides did have a slower pace, neither of them wanted to lose the ball to make mistakes, be counterattacked by the opponent, and pass the ball out if they encountered a little obstacle.

Except for crooked passes and mistakes, there is generally no dribble over the ball, and no one challenges Willard.

All the players in Rosario Central have been sternly warned by the manager not to try to break through Villad with the ball, the success rate is very low. Even if they are First Division players and Villard is still a Second Division player. But in terms of individual ability, Villa De is better than the defenders in Rosario Central.

Even in the entire First Division, it may be one of the top defensive players. More importantly, Villade’s technique is not bad and has been improving, and once Villard breaks the ball, it is easy to form a counterattack.

Therefore, the head coach of Rosario Central strictly forbade the players to break through Willard with the ball. As a result, Villade’s current defensive statistics are not very good, and he has played for more than ten minutes without stealing or clearing, and only has one successful figure.

But Villard doesn’t care about that, he’s not really a 21-year-old and he knows what’s more important as a defensive player. Therefore, since the opponent does not come to him, he goes to the opponent, makes the opponent pass the ball in a hurry by approaching the threat, makes a passing error, and then counterattacks through the steals of his teammates.

After 15 minutes, the two sides began to gradually enter the game and speed up the pace of the game.

In the 17th minute, Rosario central right-wing-back Encina hit the wall with forward Pablo Becker, broke through the interception of full-back Santiago Echeberia and successfully crossed from the bottom.

Two centers, Nell and Jose Valencia, rushed into the box at the same time to compete for the top, and the Hurricanes defender could not react, and was stuck by Jose Valencia to grab the first point, and flicked his head to the goal.

Fortunately, although captain Mancinelli did not grab the ball, he still pulled Jose Valencia behind him, which interfered with his bounce, causing him to fail to jump to the expected height. Valencia’s header missed the range of the post and flew off the crossbar.

Although the goal was not scored, it was the first goal of the game, and the pace of the two sides began to increase.

Five minutes later, Rosario central full-back Delgado crossed diagonally into the midfield and sent the ball to the feet of Pablo Becker, a striker with his back to the attacking direction.

When Pablo Becker received the ball, Villard was pushing and shuffling behind him, but I don’t know what Pablo Becker thought, maybe he wanted to test Willard’s state and strength, and when he received the ball, he did not immediately pass the ball, but hooked the ball to the right side of his body, and then went around from the left side.

The ball jumped up the upper of Becker’s shoe and flew over the right side of Willard’s body behind him, and Becker circled around the left side of Willard’s body.

It was a wonderful back-to-back picker, and if it was successful, it was quite spectacular.

As a result, Villard was not fooled.

Although Villard was blocked by Pablo Becker, he turned sideways and saw Pablo Becker’s outstretched foot touching the ball. With the consciousness of high attributes, he instantly roughly judged what Becker wanted to do.

Therefore, when Becker finished picking the ball and bypassed it from the left side, Villard did not care about him at all, but instantly turned around, stuck the position, jammed Becker who bypassed from the left side, and then easily caught up with the ball that was picked behind him and completed the steal.

“Good ball!”

“Pablo Becker tried to break through Willard with his back to pick the ball and cross the ball, but he was recognized by Willard and easily turned and stuck in position and broke the ball.”

“Pablo Becker’s pick was unsuccessful.”

“Alan Villard is worthy of being the anchor of the Hurricanes Athletic backline, and Pablo Becker, a technical forward, cannot easily break through Willard.”

“Pablo Becker was educated by Willard, and now he should know how powerful Willard is.”

On the sidelines, the head coach of Rosario Central also shook his head, he had told before the game not to single out Villade. As a result, Pablo Becker still did this, probably a little unconvinced, after all, he is the core of the organization of the first division team and has very good skills, while Willard is only a defensive player in the second division.

But it turns out that Villade’s defensive ability is not blown, and the probability that Pablo Becker wants to make a breakthrough on Willard is really low. Presumably, after this moment, Pablo Becker should be able to be honest.

The fact is also that after this thought that he was very sudden back pick and man ball failed to fool Willard, Pablo Becker also knew that the head coach was right, Verard’s ability has indeed long exceeded the scope of the second division, even if it is put in the first division, he is also a top defensive player, not that he can easily single out and break through.

Then Becker was much more honest, generally avoiding Willard when holding the ball, and when Willard took the initiative to press it, he immediately passed the ball out and did not give Willard the opportunity to single out the tackle.

The rest of Rosario’s central players did the same, trying to avoid Villade’s defensive area.

This approach avoided frequent ball conceding, but it also led to their offense not going well. The Hurricanes Athletic, on the other hand, occasionally counterattack when they get the ball, can sometimes pose a threat.

In the 30th minute, Villard forced full-back Encina to pass the ball in a hurry by a snatch, lost the ball, was cut off by Lucas Villaruel, and then formed a quick counterattack. In the end, Gonzano Martinez picked up a cross and picked up the ball past defender Donati and fell into the box.

Striker Thomson Mira rushed past Donati and met with a volley, but unfortunately did not suppress the ball and finally flew off the crossbar.

Although the goal was not scored, it was a threatening counterattack by Hurricane Athletic, giving the players fans some confidence. As long as you can hold the defensive line, first stand invincible, and then use the counterattack, there is still hope to score.

In the 35th minute, full-back Guiman Mandalino cut down the left and cut inside the triangle pass, Gonzano Martinez met the ball angrily, shook the two defenders in front of Rosario Central , but he was fake and leaked the ball to Lucas Villaruel who inserted behind.

As a result, Lucas did not expect that Gonzano Martinez would leak the ball, and when he reacted, it was too late, too close to the ball, bowed up awkwardly and barely kicked, although it hit the goal frame, but the power was too small, the angle was not bad, and was confiscated by goalkeeper Carranta directly in his arms.

Lucas Villaruel, who missed a great shot on goal, was deeply annoyed and apologised for Gonzano Martinez, who missed a good goal.

Although Gonzano Martinez is a little disappointed, this is a game, and it is not good to say anything, can only say that it is okay, continue to work hard.
