While Willard was eating late-night snacks, Krisna told her brother what she saw and heard during and after the game, mainly about how ordinary Hurricanes fans felt about Willard when he first came on the field, and after the game. evaluation changes.
While chatting, Krisna said sadly: "If mom and dad are here, they can also watch the game together, and then they will be very happy to see you perform such an outstanding game."
Willard nodded: "They should be able to see it in heaven."
Krisna nodded. Although she was a little sad, she did not shed tears this time. She had gradually moved on from the sadness of losing her parents.
The next day, July 28, the Hurricanes Athletics team had a day off and no training.
It's also a Monday, so Willard can improve his skill attributes. After spending 2 skill points to increase "Defense" from 69 to 70, spending another 3 skill points to increase "Physique" from 73 to 74, and spending another 3 skill points to increase "Awareness" from 76 to 77, Finally, spend 3 skill points to increase "speed" from 59 to 60, "heading" from 54 to 55, and "technique" from 51 to 52, leaving 78 skill points.
Although the team has a holiday, Velarde cannot give himself a holiday. He followed the additional training plan provided by the coaching staff and conducted additional training near his home.
However, the training equipment was not complete, and there was no group training. After the extra training that night, he only received a C-level training evaluation and an increase of 2,000 experience points.
The biggest news on Argentina's major TV stations, sports newspapers, and football websites that day was naturally the second-division team Hurricanes' upset 2-0 victory over Boca Juniors at the Candy Box Stadium the night before and advanced to the top 16 of the Argentine Cup.
The whole of Buenos Aires was discussing this game. The Hurricanes were really like a hurricane and made a big splash.
The substitute came on and contributed a goal save, and the Hurricanes' second goal was also caused by Willard stealing the ball in the backcourt and launching a counterattack. Therefore, Willard has also been mentioned a few times by some media.
One media outlet said this:
"The 21-year-old Alan Willard has made great progress compared to last season. Whether it is his physique, defensive skills, or the awareness that does not match his age, he is far beyond the average second-division defense. The players received unanimous praise in this confrontation with Boca Juniors."
"It is said that Velarde's parents just passed away during the World Cup in Brazil, leaving him and his sister to depend on each other. Perhaps this is why he has become more mature and stable than ordinary young people."
"According to interviews with reporters, a die-hard Hurricane Athletic fan revealed that Velarde is the first one to arrive at the team's training ground every morning and the last one to leave the base in the evening."
"God rewards hard work, we may see the rise of a new defensive star, let's wait and see."
Krisna specially bought several newspapers that reviewed Willard, saying that she wanted to collect them.
Next, life returned to normal, and Velarde continued to train seriously and hard, winning increasing recognition from his coach and teammates. Friends Dalia and Bonnie Fashaw followed him to practice additionally and it also produced some results, and they began to get more playing opportunities in the team's training matches.
Although the Hurricanes' victory over Boca Juniors was shocking for a while, cup competitions have always been a hotbed of upsets. It's not just once or twice that a giant team like Boca Juniors accidentally overturned. When the results first came out, everyone was surprised. Two days later , and they were all forgotten. In addition to people in the industry, ordinary fans should be like this.
Of course, for those who know Willard, such a victory and Willard's performance after playing are worthy of praise. Whether it is the neighbors in the community or on the bus in the morning and evening, Willard Dedu has received praise and encouragement from many people.
On August 4th, the Argentine National Academy of Arts started. Velarde sent Crisina, who had just entered college, to sign up. He saw many young, beautiful girls with great figures.
Krisna also joked: "Brother, look, there are many beauties in our school. After I find out the situation, I will introduce you to a girlfriend."
Willard smiled and said, "Brother, just wait!"
This day is also Monday again. Willard spent another 13 skill points, increasing his defense to 71, his physique to 75, his awareness to 78, his speed to 61, his heading to 56, and his skills to 53. , there are 65 skill points remaining.
The last match day was Sunday. I upgraded to 8 levels in a row and added one skill attribute. The next day, I added it again on Monday. I added another one today. This is equivalent to several new skills adding 3 attributes in 8 days, and two old skills. Also added 2 attributes.
Therefore, during daily training during this period, coaches and teammates such as Mario Binco and Andres Yalin could clearly feel Velarde's rapid progress.
In particular, his consciousness has reached 78, close to 80. Even ordinary players in the A-League are only at this level. In terms of positioning, judgment, team cooperation, etc., compared with the B-level players of the Hurricanes, The advantages are huge.
In a training match before the first round of the Albanian League B, Mario Binco put Velarde in the starting midfielder position of the substitute team, basically blocking the main team's central attack, and in the end only He was able to cross the ball from the wing and barely score a corner kick.
Moreover, with Willard's solid defense, the substitute team also scored a goal through a quick counterattack.
In the end, the main team and the substitute team tied at 1-1. Velarde's performance was not far behind that of the main defensive midfielder Federico Bismara, and even slightly outperformed him.
However, due to experience, qualifications, preconceived impressions and other reasons, Binko, Yalin and others still trust Bismara more.
Therefore, after the training on August 8, when the roster for the next day was announced, it was Federico Bismara who entered the starting lineup and served as the main defensive midfielder.
Lucas Villaruel, the original main substitute for the defensive midfielder, is not a substitute this time, but has entered the starting lineup as a central midfielder.
In the end, Willard entered the substitute list without any suspense. Whenever there is a need to replace Federico Bismara during the game, Velarde will undoubtedly be the first candidate to appear.
As for the other two defensive midfielders Rolon and Carrizo, they were once again missed from the squad after the last Argentine Cup.
With the strong rise of Alan Willard, I am afraid that Rolon and Carrizo will be like Willard last season, and it will be difficult to get the opportunity to play in the game.
On Saturday, August 9th, the opening match of the first round of Group B of the 2014 Argentina Men's Football League B Playoffs was played by Salmiandu VS Mendoza Independiente.
After 90 minutes, the two sides ended in a goalless draw and the score was 0-0.
This gives other teams a chance.
The second game of this round was hosted by Hurricanes Athletic against CA Tamboli.
The game time was 18:00 in the evening, but many passionate Hurricanes fans rushed outside the stadium early and entered the stadium as soon as ticket inspection opened.
Although the Hurricanes are now a second-division team, they were once a first-division team and won the A-League championship. In the just-concluded Argentine Cup 1/16 finals, they also overturned the Super Big Mac 2-0 away from home. Boca Juniors advance to the last 16 of the Cup.
Coupled with the fact that there are enough places for promotion to the First Division this season, the Hurricanes have a high probability of being promoted to the First Division. Therefore, not only is the morale within the team high, the fans are also very active. The Hurricanes' home court of Thomas Duke Stadium, which can accommodate 48,000 people, was filled with nearly 40,000 people before the game started.
Except for a few corners that are far away from the center of the stadium and have poor sightlines and locations, the other better seats were filled by fans.
Moreover, these fans are quite enthusiastic. They started waving team flags, scarves, banners, slogans, spray-painted patterns, etc. as soon as they entered the stadium, and sang the team song of Hurricane Athletics to welcome the arrival of the first league game of the new season.
Krisna also entered the stadium with her two roommates. Instead of taking seats according to the seat numbers, she came to sit in an area with more female fans among the home team's fans. Anyway, there are still many empty seats in the stadium, and most people will not take their seats.
Willard once told her not to enter areas occupied by die-hard fan groups, let alone join their groups. If there is a riot or even physical conflict with rival fans, these fan organizations will most likely be on the front line, and there may even be bloodshed.
Willard didn't want his sister to be in danger. He had promised the original host to take good care of Krisna.
The best way is to sit with players or family members who are not selected for the squad, or follow a large number of loose fans of the home team. If there is any disturbance, do not stand around and evacuate immediately and go home.
The two roommates did not have welfare tickets and could not enter the player family area, so Krisina took them to find this relatively safe location.
The two roommates are very beautiful, one is named Heidi Elisa and the other is named Reese Bertha. Coincidentally, Heidi Eliza and Willard's birthdays are on the same day, May 19th. However, Willard was born in 1993, and Alyssa was born in 1996, three years younger than Willard.
But this is also a kind of fate.
Therefore, after learning about Heidi Alyssa's birthday, Krisna deliberately introduced her to her brother. After some special efforts to please her, she quickly got along with Alyssa.
Together with Reth Bertha, the three of them have developed into good best friends in just a few days since school started. Today was Saturday and there was no class. Krisna invited the two of them to come watch her brother's game, and the two agreed.
As a result, when the time came to 18:00, the referee blew the opening whistle and the game had already begun. When Heidi Alyssa asked who was Krisna’s brother on the field and what was her jersey number, Krisna just He suppressed a smile and said: "My brother is on the bench and hasn't played yet!"
Alyssa slapped Krisna and scolded: "It turns out that your brother is just a substitute, and you still dragged us over to watch his game in a hurry, for fear of being late."
Krisna raised her eyebrows and said: "What's wrong with the substitute? My brother was promoted from the reserve team to the first team last season. Isn't it normal to be a substitute? However, he works very hard. He goes out early and comes back late every day. In the team After extra training during the training camp, I have now secured my position as the team's defensive midfielder and can easily get a chance to play. Just wait, my brother will definitely be able to play today and he will perform well."
Reth Beth, who was sitting on the other side of Krisna, took La Krisna's hand and said, "Nana, I believe you!"
Krisna hugged the petite and cute Reith Bertha, kissed her on the face, and said, "I knew you were the best."
Heidi Alyssa on the other side rolled her eyes and said: "Okay, I'll just wait and see. If your brother can't show up today, Bertha and I will have a wasted trip. dinner."
Krisna got what she wanted and said, "Okay, it's a deal."
