Argentine beast waist: Messi’s bodyguard

Chapter 150

Taking the lead, especially on the road, Hurricanes had the score and psychological advantage.

Now that Hurricanes lead by one goal on aggregate and one away goal, the chances of qualifying have increased dramatically, and River Plate is in a passive position like Sao Paulo, Brazil, in the previous round.

If the first leg is ended with this scoreline, like Sao Paulo in the previous round, it will be difficult to reverse the comeback on the road and eliminate Hurricane Athletic.

Therefore, when the game resumed, River Plate had to press aggressively, hoping to hurry up and score, equalize and even reverse.

However, the current defense of the Hurricane Athletic team is too strong, not only Willard is strong alone, but other players have also developed a fairly tacit cooperation in long-term games, even if their individual ability is not good, they can also defuse the opponent’s attack one by one through team cooperation and Willard’s command.

In fact, even Willard is not always able to intercept opponents to break through or pass the ball, and his 90 defensive ability is not really equivalent to the iron wall. When the opponent has good skills and plays beyond normal, Villard also has the situation that he cannot stop the opponent.

But the problem is that Villard not only has good defensive skills, but also has a strong physique, awareness, speed, headers, etc., which are very scary when combined. Even if he can’t stop it, he can use his body and speed to return to defense in time, delay the opponent’s attack speed, and direct his teammates to assist in timely defense to fill in the loopholes.

As the season progressed, teammates became more and more aware of Willard’s command style, and sometimes even reached the point where teammates could understand the meaning with just one look from Willard.

This level of tacit cooperation, coupled with the consciousness of the Villad 90 to command, is really difficult for the opponent to seize the loophole.

This time, River Plate was worse than Sao Paulo, failing to produce any threatening shots, let alone goals, until the end of the first half.

The two sides ended the first half with a 1-0 scoreline, with the visiting Hurricanes Athletic temporarily leading by one goal.

At halftime, commentators on domestic Argentine television stations sighed:

“The score was not big, Racic Hurricanes were only one goal ahead.”

“But that’s not the whole epitome of the first half of this game.”

“In fact, the Hurricanes were just a little bit out of luck, otherwise the score could have been 0-2 or even 0-3.”

‘River Plate’s attack is not strong, otherwise they would not have killed Boca Juniors 4-0 in the 1/8 final and kept a clean sheet.

“But when it came to the Hurricane Athletic defense led by Alan Villader, Riverplate could only sigh and there was nothing to do.”

“The last time the two sides met was the Argentine Super Cup, where River Plate lost 3-0 to Atletico Hurricanes.”

“Today’s game, it seems that there are signs of this again, just see if there is any adjustment at half-time in River Plate.”

Disappointingly, River Plate didn’t make any effective adjustments at half-time and remained the starting line-up for the second half.

Perhaps, this is also River Plate’s strongest squad, and the manager can’t make any other adjustments.

After the start of the second half, River Plate still pressed forward with the offensive lineup of the first half to try to penetrate the Hurricanes defense.

Unfortunately, it backfired, and the Hurricanes Athletic defense performed well today. In addition to the reason that he has a good understanding and good condition, it is also because today is Willard’s birthday.

You don’t want to give Willard a draw or a defeat on his birthday. Everyone was thinking about taking a win from the Monument Stadium to celebrate Villade’s 22nd birthday.

Therefore, everyone fought hard, ran actively, fought hard, and did not give River Plate any decent chances.

River Plate’s closest chance to scoring a goal did not come until the 72nd minute of the second half. This is Gonzano Martinez’s brilliant pass after breaking through Lucas Villaruel and Nervo with the strength of his heart, and River Plate striker Teofiro Gutiérrez rushed into the box and grabbed a shot from the small penalty area line.

The ball is only six or seven meters from the goal, which is very close, as long as it is within the goal frame, it is easy to score.

However, this ball Gutiérrez kicked in the leg of goalkeeper Marcos Dias, who opened his body like an octopus, and was blocked.

I have to say that River Plate is lucky enough.

In particular, Gonzano Martinez, who provided a brilliant pass assist, suddenly collapsed after his teammates wasted this opportunity, and began to go it alone after taking the ball later.

It turned out to be exactly what Villard wanted.

In the 82nd minute, Gonzano Martinez saw Villard rushing towards him after receiving the ball in midfield, and instead of passing the ball, he used a croquette to try to pass the upper Villade.

As a result, Villade’s keen consciousness saw Gonzano Martinez’s intentions in advance, and he made a change first, and with a lower tackle, he successfully tackled the ball away from the feet of Gonzano Martínez and shoveled it to Turaza, who received it on the side.

Turaza dribbled in on the right and Hurricane Athletic fired another quick counterattack.

Although the counter-attack did not result in a goal, it forced goalkeeper Varovelo to save the ball off the line through Avila’s shot and won a corner kick.

It was in this corner kick scramble that Willard grabbed the drop point in the big penalty area, overwhelmed River Plate centre-back Murray, and a powerful header shot successfully pushed the ball into the right side of the goal in River Plate.

Goalkeeper Varovelo reacted a little slower, and the final save was useless, only to watch the ball pass in front of his palm and fly into the goal.

At this moment, both the Hurricanes fans at the scene and in front of the TV immediately applauded excitedly, and shouted Villard’s name to bow to him.

The commentators also knew what day it was, and they all shouted:

“Goooooooooooooooooooooooal^”

“The ball went in!”

“Alan Villade, who snatched the first spot from the corner and scored with a header to extend the score to 2-0 for Sporting Hurricanes.”

“The Hurricanes Arena basically sealed the win, and Alan Villard received his best birthday present.”

“Yes, today is Verade’s 22nd birthday. As a result, he gave himself a most satisfying birthday gift on such a stage, facing a world-class giant like River Plate, and helping Hurricane Athletic extend the score with a goal at the famous Monument Stadium. ”

“Let’s congratulate Verade!”

“Congratulations to him for the goal, congratulations to him for his 22nd birthday and congratulations to Hurricane Athletic, who basically won the game.”
