Argentine beast waist: Messi’s bodyguard

Chapter 109

The referee’s suspicions were not wrong.

After the team doctor gave first aid and Leo was about to be carried off the pitch on a stretcher, Leo appealed to the referee in pain, claiming that Avila deliberately elbowed him in the chest with his elbow, causing him to break his ribs.

As soon as Cruzeiro’s players heard this, they naturally stopped and immediately demanded that the referee severely punish Avila, and must send him off with a red card and an additional suspension.

But Avila immediately defended, saying that his hand was placed naturally, that Leo had jumped and crashed into it when he could not grab the ball, and that it was none of his business.

The referee had just been obscured by Avila’s body, and he didn’t see at all whether he had maliciously elbowed Leo, so in the end, he only awarded Avila a foul and did not deal a card.

That’s it, for Leo’s sake, he was injured and carried down on a stretcher. If Leo hadn’t been injured, the goal would have been Leo’s collision with Avila, a free-kick in front of the Hurricanes.

From the perspective of cause and effect, this ball was the first point that Avila grabbed in the air, possessed the ball, Leo made a mistake in his own judgment, jumped up and hit Avila to find a collision, and hit Avila to cause injury.

With Avila’s unique physique, which even Villard had to bow down, Leo himself found a collision and was injured and left the field, and he deserved it.

Although both the referee and the Cruzeiro players suspected that Avila had made a malicious elbow blow, in retaliation for the previous Leo fake fall that caused Villade’s goal to be blown out, there was no evidence, so it could only be stopped.

However, in the subsequent game, Cruzeiro did not dare to make any small moves and concentrated on the game.

After all, something like Leo’s broken ribs, they don’t want to run into it.

And the Hurricane Athletic team, under the influence of Willard, has always been a person who does not offend me and I do not offend. Since the opponents are concentrated on playing football and do not engage in small actions, then everyone plays football with real skills, even if they lose, they are willing and convinced!

In the 36th minute, Cruzeiro forward Damian and right-winger Marquinhos attracted most of the Hurricanes’ attention by running inside the box, and forward DeAras Caetara, who turned to avoid Lucas Villaruel’s pressing and then sent the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

Left midfielder William arrived on the horse, and without waiting for Alan Villade, who had already found a loophole and rushed to block the gunhole, he kept the ball and shot a long-range arc shot, which bypassed both players in the box, and also dodged the ten fingers of goalkeeper Marcos Diaz, straight to the back of the goal.

Just when many Cruzeiro players and fans were wide-eyed and ready to celebrate the goal, the ball snapped on the far post, then bounced back into the small penalty area, and was immediately kicked out of the box by defender Barby.

William’s arc is only a little bit short!

Pity.

More than 60,000 Cruzeiros in the stands also let out a neat sigh, lamenting that the goal did not score.

However, before Cruzeiro fans could recover from the lament of missing the goal, just two minutes later, in the 38th minute, Atletico Hurricanes won a free-kick opportunity from outside the wide wing of the penalty area on the right side of the field by a counter-attack that caused a foul on the home defender.

This kind of free kick is similar to a corner kick, but it is closer to the box and more threatening than a corner.

Therefore, not only did the Hurricanes’ Villard and others continue to step forward to participate in the set-piece scramble, but Cruzeiro’s players also returned to the defense and participated in the defense.

Willard had scored a header before, only to be blown off, so this time he was closely watched by a Cruzeiro centre-back Paul Andre and a defender Willians. The two followed Willard to his side, taking care of him.

But this time, Tulasa, who took the free kick, did not directly hang the ball into the box, allowing people to compete for the top, but passed the ball inverted into a large gap outside the penalty area.

It was a tactical free-kick.

Before Turaza took the penalty, the gesture raised told his teammates that he was going to play a tactical free-kick. Therefore, Villard and others in the penalty area who seem to be constantly pushing and shoving opponents, vying for advantageous positions, and wanting to compete for headers are just covering.

After Turaza drove the tactical free-kick, Lucas Villaruel inserted in the back row received the ball without interference, adjusted his step, and then shot from about 25 meters from the goal outside the big penalty area, firing a powerful long-range shot.

As luck would have it, the two Cruzeiro players in the box with their backs blocked could not touch the ball, and the ball just slipped through the gap in the crowd in the box and went straight to the top left corner of the goal.

The ball was of high quality, but goalkeeper Fabio played more spiritually, as if he knew Lucas was going to hit the left side, and began to move to the left before Lucas could shoot, and then flew to pounce and successfully poked the ball with his fingertips.

The ball changed outward, but instead of flying directly off the baseline, it smashed on the left upright and bounced back into the box, creating chaos in the box.

In the chaos, the ball suddenly came to the side of Riverard in the small penalty area. The highly conscious Willard was quick and rushed before Paul Andre, who was also trying to solve the fence, and awkwardly poked the ball in the direction of the goal.

Goalkeeper Fabio pounced from the left side of the goal line and managed to get the ball out of the goal. But where he fished the ball, the ball as a whole had crossed the goal line.

Villard and his teammates in the small penalty area immediately raised their hands to cheer and celebrate the goal, while Cruzeiro’s players signaled to the referee that the ball had been fished out by goalkeeper Fabio and did not count as a goal.

The referee did not immediately blow the whistle, neither the goal was valid, nor the goal was invalid, which made both players a little nervous.

Finally, after questioning the linesman who had just stood near the corner kick area, the referee pointed his finger and blew the effective whistle of the goal.

“The ball went in!”

“Villade’s shot in front of goal just now counts as a goal.”

“Actually, we can see from the TV replay that the ball has indeed crossed the goal line as a whole.”

“It’s just that the referee didn’t know about it on the spot.”

“There is no problem with this ball.”

“Villard gave Hurricanes a 1-0 lead away from Cruzeiro through a make-up shot from the chaos in front of goal.”

“Villade’s header was blown away by the referee before, and this time it was finally counted.”

“Villard scored again in the Copa Libertadores.”

“Playing seven games at the start of the new season, Villard has scored four goals, which is quite efficient!”

“As a defensive back, Villade’s goalscoring ability is simply sky-breaking, and he is already on par with a striker.”

“Such an all-round midfield core in attack and defense is expected to be desired by many teams, and even European teams are thirsty for talent.”

‘At most, by the end of the season, Villard will definitely have to move away.

“If Hurricane Athletic were to win the championship with Alan Villard, it could be this season’s chance.”

On the pitch, after seeing the referee’s goal valid, Villard was finally able to celebrate with his teammates with confidence.

The celebration was particularly intense because he had scored with a header that was blown off by the referee, and he kept saving in his heart.

And this goal just now is also a bit thrilling, if it is not for the linesman’s insight, it may also be blown off.

So when it was finally decided that the goal was scored, both Villard himself and his teammates celebrated excitedly.

Atletico Hurricanes celebrated for nearly a minute before being stopped by the referee and returned to their own half, following complaints from the Cruzeiro players.

Cruzeiro drove the ball in the middle circle, and when the game resumed, Cruzeiro pressed on the onslaught to try to use the remaining minutes to equalise.

But perhaps because Avila successfully retaliated against Leo, or because Villard scored to help the team lead, Atletico Hurricanes were in high morale, and under Villade’s command, they did not give the opponent as many shots as before.

Cruzeiro failed to score until the end of the first half, and the two sides could only go into the halftime with a score of 0-1, and the visiting Hurricanes Athletic temporarily led by one goal.

At half-time, Villard made a point of thanking Avila for risking his cards to take revenge on the opposing centre-back Leo and sending him to a stretcher.

But Avila said that there is no need to thank Willard, who has done more for the team and deserves to be protected by everyone.

Avila took the opportunity to tell everyone on the team that Alan Villard is now becoming more and more important to the Hurricanes, is the core node of the Hurricanes’ offensive and defensive transformation, and even Willard himself can score goals, scoring 4 goals in 7 games, even higher than most frontcourt offensive players.

Therefore, try not to let Willard clash with his opponent on the court, resulting in eating cards. If there is an opponent who wants to find Villard trouble, everyone should take the initiative to stand up and help Willard attract firepower, or take revenge, and do not let the referee play cards against Villade.

Once Willard is suspended for a red card or cumulative yellow card, the impact can be fatal for the Hurricanes.

Now the opponent has not deliberately provoked Willard in response to this, and in the future, someone will definitely make small moves against Willard, deliberately provoke Willard, let Willard fight back or curse, and finally be sent off by the referee.

At this time, it is necessary for teammates to provide timely support to divert the firepower away from Willard and ensure that Willard can continue to play normally.

Avila’s words won everyone’s approval, and everyone agreed to “protect” Villade. Although Willard’s physique and strength do not need to be protected, the protection of his teammates is to protect Willard from eating cards and being banned.

The purpose is for the team’s long-term combat ability, and achievements.

This was also supported by head coach Mario Binko and others. Binko also told Willard to control his temper and not retaliate at every turn, if he was caught by the referee, he might be severely punished. What Willard should do more is to use his consciousness and reaction to provoke the opponent, provoke the opponent, and let the referee take out the opponent’s cards and get the opponent down.

This is what Willard should do as a qualified back, not simple-minded, you shovel me, I will shovel back.

Letting the referee send the opponent off and then score the opponent’s goal to win the opponent is the best revenge for the opponent.

The support of his teammates and the guidance of the coaching staff have benefited Villard a lot.

He is not a pedantic person, and he does not think that everyone helps him attract firepower, or makes him show weakness or so on.

What’s more, for the sake of the overall situation, for the sake of the team’s results, what’s wrong with showing weakness? As long as you can get the opponent down, whether the stretcher is carried down or the red card is sent off, it is the same.

Even if the opponent is sent off with a red card, the opponent cannot make a substitution, and the Hurricanes have to fight with one more man, which is better.

Thanks to his teammates and coaches, Villard was even more confident in the second half.
