This goal was really speechless.
But it is inappropriate for everyone to complain about Gonzalo Marinelli at this time. After all, he certainly doesn't want to have buttery hands or lose the ball. He was already feeling guilty at this time. If his teammates complained about him again, they might make him more nervous, panic, make mistakes, and concede more goals later.
Therefore, captain Mancinelli and Bismara, who were closer, could only go up and hug Marinelli, comfort him a few words, and tell him not to take it to heart. It is normal for a goalkeeper to lose the ball. No goalkeeper can Never conceding a goal allowed him to focus on the rest of the game and guarding the goal.
After the game restarted, the Hurricanes Athletics team, which was trailing 0-1, stepped up its attack. Midfielder Lucas Villaruel moved to the central midfielder position in advance to participate in the attack.
However, the weather in this game was bad, there was a lot of water, the field was slippery, and accidents often occurred in passing, making it difficult to achieve results through ground attacks.
When passing the ball in the air, Hurricanes center Thomson Mira was heavily targeted by the opponent, and it was also difficult to get the first header.
At this time, head coach Mario Binco gave timely on-the-spot instructions, asking everyone to step up their long-range shots, including even Velarde, to actively move forward and take long-range shots.
Although Velarde's shooting skills are average, his strength is good. Although his shooting power brought by his 80cm tall body is not the absolute best in the second-division league, he is definitely among the best. If it hits within the goal frame, it is still possible to score.
In the 29th minute, Gonzano Martinez took the lead and fired a long shot from the outside. Unfortunately, it was slightly above the crossbar and failed to hit the door frame.
Three minutes later, Lucas Villaruel also shot a long shot from outside the penalty area. This time, the shot hit the goal frame. Unfortunately, Lucas failed to use the power and angle, and was directly confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper Kaffa.
Although long-range shots can be regarded as a way to score goals, they are not efficient after all. The Hurricanes failed to score a direct goal through long-range shots.
However, long-range shots can create threats and cause corner kicks.
In the 42nd minute, it was Villard who stepped in from the back row and received Toranso's inverted triangle pass outside the penalty area about 28 meters away from the goal. After stopping the ball to adjust, he suddenly kicked off and shot a goal. A world wave with extremely powerful legs.
Unfortunately, with Willard's shooting skills, trying his best to hit the ball within the goal frame is the limit, and he cannot do more.
However, the power of his shot was too great. Goalkeeper Kaffa did not dare to hold the ball directly, nor did he dare to block the ball into the penalty area, fearing that Hurricanes forwards Mila, Espinosa and others would rush for a follow-up shot. Therefore, He could only save the ball from the baseline and gave the Hurricanes a corner kick.
In fact, when Willard's shot hit the world, Krisina, Alyssa, Bertha and others in the stands all stood up, hoping to see the goal.
Unfortunately, the goal failed to score in the end and was blocked by Kaffa. The Hurricanes only won a corner kick.
Krisina clapped her hands and said, "Oh, the angle of the ball was too right. Unfortunately, we didn't score."
Alyssa also said regretfully: "Yes, this ball is so powerful, but it's a pity that the angle is too right, otherwise Allen might have scored a second goal."
Bertha said: "There is still a corner kick opportunity. Willard's first goal was scored from the corner kick."
"good!"
The Hurricanes really scored through this corner kick opportunity. However, the person who scored the goal was not Velarde, whom Crisina and the trio had hoped for, but center back Santiago Echeberria, who stepped forward to participate in the fight for the top.
Echeberria overwhelmed the opponent's defender in the penalty area, grabbed the first point, and succeeded in hitting the goal with his head, helping the Hurricanes equalize the score 1-1.
Krisna, Alyssa, and Bertha were naturally a little disappointed when they didn't see Willard score a goal, but anyone who knows a little bit about football knows that this corner kick opportunity was created by Willard. , everyone will not ignore Willard's contribution.
Not only did he intercept and clear most of the opponent's attacks during the game, he also indirectly created this corner kick, which is an outstanding performance.
Unfortunately, the outstanding performance of Willard and his teammates still could not stop the deceiving substitute goalkeeper Marinelli.
There was a 15-minute intermission, and not long after the second half started, Cruzeiro Norte also received a corner kick in the 53rd minute.
After the opponent took a corner kick, Gonzalo Marinelli made a mistake in judgment and took an unauthorized shot. As a result, he collided with his teammate Federico Bismara and failed to reach the ball. Instead, it was grabbed by the opponent's center Abalos. The first point was an easy header. The ball went over Marinelli's head and landed lightly against the crossbar.
Cruzeiro Norte scored another goal to rewrite the score to 2-1, and Atletico Hurricanes fell behind again.
A small number of Cruzeiro Norte away fans in the stands and away players on the field celebrated excitedly, while the Hurricanes players and fans could only watch helplessly.
Some of the extreme Hurricanes fans in the stands had begun to curse Marinelli, but the Hurricanes players on the field still had no choice but to hide their depression in their hearts and did not dare to show it publicly.
Marinelli will continue to guard the goal from now on!
Perhaps Marinelli himself also had some courage to learn from his shame. Indeed, there were no similar low-level mistakes later, and he finally did not lose the ball again.
Of course, teammates such as Velarde and Bismara on the back line defended harder and swept back and forth without hesitation, which also provided the Hurricanes with stronger defensive capabilities, leaving opponents with very few shooting opportunities. There were fewer shots within the goal frame, and Marinelli was able to easily resolve them without conceding any more goals.
In particular, Willard directly contributed 3 steals and 5 clearances in the second half. He also forced the opponent to turn around and pass back or avoid many times, slowing down the opponent's attack speed and giving his own players more time to return to defense and assist in defense. time, virtually neutralizing the opponent's offensive.
In addition to defense, the Hurricanes will naturally not forget that they are still 1-2 behind. Therefore, when the ball changes hands, almost everyone in the midfield and frontcourt presses forward and counterattacks frantically in an attempt to equalize the score.
It's a pity that I was a bit unlucky and couldn't score a goal.
In the 76th minute, forward Espinosa was slightly injured when he was tackled to the ground by the opponent's defender while dribbling the ball forward.
Although the opponent's defender was shown a yellow card, Espinosa could no longer persist in the game and had to be substituted.
And it was Willard's friend and substitute forward Dalia who came on the field. Dalia, who has been training hard with Velard since the start of the new season, finally got the chance to play as a substitute for the first time this season.
Velard's awareness of 80% can be used not only on defense, but also on offense and teamwork. He can find gaps earlier and faster than ordinary second-tier players.
Therefore, as soon as Dalia came on the field, Velard found him and said to him: "You try to get into the gap. If there is a chance, I will pass the ball to you. Try to score and help the team equalize the score. You are the hero."
Dalia nodded in understanding.
This is his first chance to play this season. If he can score, help the team equalize the score when the score is behind, and get a draw, he will indeed be looked upon highly by the coach, and he may get more in the future. playing time.
