Argentine beast waist: Messi’s bodyguard

On Monday, April 13, Villard spent 12 skill points, increasing skill from 85 to 86, shooting/passing from 75 to 76, and reverse foot from 48 to 49, leaving the skill point balance to 87.

Since the five skills of defense, awareness, physique, speed, and heading have been added to the 90 cap of the A-Liga, the required skill point consumption is now much smaller.

The next day, April 14, in the fifth round of the group stage of the Copa Libertadores, Atleteo Hurricanes hosted Cruzeiro.

Because they had qualified early and were five points ahead of Cruzeiro, the advantage was huge, so the Hurricanes Athletic also rotated heavily in this game, allowing most of the players who did not rest in the previous round of the league to rest, and the players who rested in the previous round started and maintained their fitness through the game.

Even goalkeeper Marcos Díaz was on the bench, starting with No. 22 Giordano.

However, the fitness and fitness Villad continued to start, and because of the rotation, there are Mancinelli, Lucas, Torranso, Avila and other main players on the field, and the weakening of strength is not serious.

If you can get a draw, you can lock in the first place in the group in advance.

In any case, the Hurricane Athletic, who had qualified early and led Cruzeiro by five points, could lock in the top of the group as long as they tied it, did not panic after the start of the game, contracted their formation and defended and waited for their opponents to attack.

If Cruzeiro does not attack, even if it is 0-0, Hurricane Athletic will be the winner and will directly lock up the first place in the group.

Cruzeiro certainly won’t be content with a draw, not to compete with Hurricane Athletic for first place in the group, but because they are only three points ahead of Suke University by seven points, and they are not even sure to qualify. If Cruzeiro loses to Hurricane Athletic in this round and Suke University wins against Fishbelly Manilas, the points between the two sides will be the same, and the final round will turn into a life and death battle.

Therefore, Cruzeiro must go all out to score points in this game.

The progress of the game was as expected, and Cruzeiro, who had no way back, after a few minutes of adaptation, saw that the home team Hurricane Athletic had made up its mind not to take the initiative to attack, so he had to press forward in formation and take the initiative to attack.

Instead, they want to take advantage of Atletico Hurricanes’ rotation of the main goalkeeper to bet on their luck by shooting more shots, hoping that Giordano makes mistakes or plays a butter hand or something like that to get them to score.

However, it turns out that the core of the Hurricane Athletics team is indeed Alan Villade, as long as Willard is the starter, no matter how the opponent attacks, it will be difficult to play a threatening attack.

Villade’s defensive ability and awareness bring about reflexes and agility ensure that in one-on-one heads-ups, almost no one can break through him. In addition, the physique guarantees the winning rate and injury resistance of the physical confrontation, and the speed ensures the speed of Villade’s upper grab or return defense and replenishment.

There is also technology, which ensures that Villard can control the ball when he gets it, and it is very difficult for the opponent to counterattack.

It wasn’t until the 21st minute that Cruzeiro passed a corner kick and centre-back Paul Andre snatched the first point to complete the header from the frame.

But this ball was too right, and under the interference of Santiago Echeberia, the power of the top was not great, and he was directly held by Giordano with both hands, and he did not even give the opponent the opportunity to make up the shot.

In addition to crosses, Cruzeiro’s ground attack really struggled to break into the Hurricanes Athletic penalty area. And if you shoot from a long distance, unless you are lucky, it will be difficult to hit the frame range.

Moreover, Villard is a backer, even if he shoots from distance, it is difficult to avoid his interference in the middle. If you go to the wing and shoot from distance, it’s better to cross.

Therefore, although Cruzeiro has been attacking, it has not been effective.

Instead, the Hurricane Athletic, which looks weak, constantly threatens by fighting back. Although the two wingers, Fabiannesi and Dalia, are of average level, the central axis of Alan Villade, Torranso and Avila in the center is much more threatening.

Although Cruzeiro had focused on defending in the middle, he was unable to withstand it in the end.

In the 34th minute of the first half, Villard crossed the ball crookedly by full-back Enrique by approaching and pressing for the ball, and the ball was picked up by Lucas Villaruel.

Lucas first passed to Dalia on the wing, immediately stepped forward, and then formed a four-man pass with Torranso, Dalia, and Avila, and quickly tore apart Cruzero’s defense.

Hurricane Athletics have fought back a few times before, but they haven’t been successful. And this time, the Hurricanes succeeded.

Finally, Lucas received a cross from Torranso and picked up a cross that passed past the last centre-back Leo and picked the ball into the big penalty area.

Striker Avila rushed from Leo’s side, completed a single counter-offside slash, rushed into the box to grab before the attacking goalkeeper Fabio, and volleyed directly sideways without stopping, volleying the ball from under Fabio’s armpit and flying into the goal.

Atletico Hurricanes scored through a quick counter-attack as a team, taking advantage of Cruzeiro’s significant pressure on a hole in the backfield, and Lucas picked out a pass to assist Avila to open the scoring.

Hurricane Athletic leads 1-0 at home.

The fans, who thought that this game had become a routine, immediately applauded and cheered excitedly. Avila, who scored the goal, also rushed to the sidelines quite excitedly, came to a skating kneeling celebration, and then was pressed to the ground by the teammates who chased after him to celebrate.

It really smells of a bonus.

Originally, it was just to keep the draw and win, rotate the lineup, and let the main players rest. Unexpectedly, Cruzeiro was so uncompetitive, he was pierced through the defense by a pick by Lucas, and then was scored by Avila’s one-handed volley.

The Hurricane Race’s defense has become more solid, and the offense has become more efficient.

Perhaps, this is also related to the stability of the backfield, and the attacking players in the front can attack and shoot boldly and confidently. This sense of psychological security will undoubtedly improve the efficiency of the players in the front court.

Avila, who was a substitute in the second division last season, has become the team’s main player this season, and his goal efficiency has risen to the top of the entire Serie A and Copa Libertadores, and Villad has also contributed to the security he has brought to his teammates in the backfield.

Otherwise, Avila himself would have to retreat frequently to participate in the defense, which would be.

After scoring a lead, they naturally played more freely, even when they got the ball, they were not in a hurry to attack, but patiently poured their feet in the back, allowing Cruzeiro to rush up impatiently to press in front, and after more holes appeared in the backfield, they shifted their feet to counterattack.

And if Cruzeiro doesn’t press it, then Hurricane Athletic can spend time walking monkeys in the backcourt, just in time for the main players to rest.

This made Cruzeiro quite uncomfortable.

In the 43rd minute, seeing that the first half was about to end, Cruzeiro striker Damion, who could not form an effective offensive deterrent to the goal of Atletico Hurricanes, rushed to the defender Nervo who held the ball to press.

But Nervo turned and kicked it back and passed it back to goalkeeper Giordano.

The angry and depraved Damion did not hold back, and when Nervo had already passed the ball, he pushed Nervo hard behind him.

Of course, Nervo would not be polite, and directly fell back to the ground exaggeratedly.

Although the referee also knew that Nervo had an element of performance, the fact that Damion pushed the foul was indeed unquestionable. In the end, Damion was shown a yellow card by the referee, and Hurricane Athletic continued to waste a lot of time with this free-kick at the back.

Then, the first half was over. The two sides went into the break with a 1-0 scoreline, and the Hurricanes Athletic, who did not want to win, became the side that led the way.

After 15 minutes at halftime, the two sides fought again in the second half. Mario Binko replaced Torrenso with striker Montenegro at the start of the second half to rest him for his next league match.

Cruzeiro naturally knew what the Hurricanes Athletic intended to change at this time, apparently preparing for the next game. This made the Cruzeiro players feel a little insulted and continue to attack forward.

Whether or not the Hurricanes fought back, Cruzeiro was behind by the score anyway and had to attack.

But the presence of Allen Villard still makes Cruzeiro’s offensive efficiency extremely low, often being tackled or forced by Willard to make passing errors, or being intercepted by Willard directing teammates to assist in defense, and finally failed.

It wasn’t until the 59th minute that Cruzeiro managed to use full-back Willian’s personal skills to cut an inverted triangle pass from the bottom of the right flank, allowing forward DeAras Caeta to get a shot near the penalty spot in the penalty area.

As a result, when Caeta kicked the ball out with a volley and was already raising his hand to celebrate, a flying tackle appeared in front of him and just destroyed the ball he kicked out and shoveled it out of the line.

Dearas Caeta looked at Villade who slipped past him after completing the tackle and destruction, and felt quite depressed.

But Willard’s awareness is so strong, although he was previously transferred by Cruzeiro outside the box using team passes, he finally gained insight into Cruzero’s offensive intentions and returned to the box in time to destroy De Aras Caeta’s shot in the box.

Without Villade’s sabotage, De Aras Caeta would have really entered.

It’s a pity that there are no ifs.

Even the Hurricanes Athletic, which rotated almost half of their main players, were still not something Cruzeiro could beat.

The defensive line led by Alan Villard remains an insurmountable barrier for Cruzeiro.

Not only that, but Atletico Hurricanes also played another successful quick counterattack in the 72nd minute of the second half, and finally the inverted triangle pass was cut under the west wing of Fabiane, and the substitute forward Montenegro arrived and kicked the ball into the right side of the goal with an easy push.

Hurricane Athletic extended the score 2-0 to extend the score and essentially seal the win.

After the score became 2-0, Mario Binko made another two-person change, replacing Avila and Lucas Villaruel to rest for the next league game in the A-Liga.

Cruzeiro was cornered, and used up all the substitutions to fight back and attack wildly.

It wasn’t until the 89th minute of injury time that Cruzeiro secured a penalty opportunity through a handball foul by defender Santiago Echeberia due to chaos in the box.

Striker Damion took the penalty to make it 1-2.

However, there was not much time left until the end of the game, and Cruzeiro did not perform another miracle for the rest of the time.

Three minutes after stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and Hurricane Athletic won 2-1 at home to Nick Cruzeiro, not only qualified early and advanced to the knockout round, but also locked the first place in the group early, and will have a certain advantage in the next knockout draw, the opponent will be second in the other group, can avoid the other group first.

Although the score was 2-1, it seemed thrilling. But in fact, the players who watched the process know that Cruzeiro’s offense was blocked by the back line led by Allen Villade, and did not create much threat, and Hurricane Athletic won relatively easily.

Instead, it was the Hurricane Athletic team, which repeatedly squandered opportunities to fight back. Had it not been for bad luck, Athletic Hurricanes would have scored more than two goals.

After the game, Cruzeiro left Thomas Duke Stadium in discouragement, leaving Hurricane players and fans celebrating at home.

Villard also received the experience reward of starting 1 million + winning prize 1 million + A-level performance 5 million = 7 million.

Next, you can really give up the final round of the Copa Libertadores and deal with the league wholeheartedly.
