After playing CA Tamboli, the Hurricanes Atletico team did not have a holiday and had to seize the time to prepare for the next Argentine Cup game.
In the media reports the day after the game, Alan Willard, who scored the winning goal to help Hurricanes beat CA Tamboli 1-0 in an away game, received a lot of media reports, but it was mentioned that he Rhys Bertha didn't show much love, and her photos were almost never published by the media.
After all, whether he frequently changes girlfriends or kills two birds with one stone is nothing more than Willard's private matter, and he is not married, is not having an extramarital affair, and is still a second-division player. The space he can get into the newspaper is not large, and it is still at the back of the page. Where is the media? They will also interfere with his private affairs like the gossip media.
After he plays in the first division and is considered a top star among the first division players, he may be able to get the kind of treatment that follows and reports his gossip news.
In addition, Heidi Alyssa and Reese Bertha were both admitted to the National Academy of Arts from other provinces. The local football atmosphere in their hometown is not as strong as that in the capital, and no one is too free to pay attention to the live broadcasts or broadcasts of the two A-League teams. Post-match news.
Therefore, neither Alisa nor Bertha's family and friends found out that they both had a boyfriend at the same time.
Willard, Alyssa, and Bertha can still be clean for a while.
On October 6th, which is also Monday, Willard also spent 10 skill points to increase defense from 79 to 80, speed from 69 to 70, header from 64 to 65, and skill from 61 to 61. 62. The number of shots increased from 51 to 52, leaving 50 skill points in the balance.
The defensive attributes are also added to the upper limit of Ah B and cannot be added any higher. You can only wait until you play in the A-League and the upper limit is unlocked to 90 before you can increase it again.

The next step is to concentrate on preparing for the Argentine Cup quarter-finals.
At 19:00 on the evening of October 8, with the referee's whistle, the 2013/2014 Argentine Cup quarter-finals match between Estudiantes of La Plata and Atletico Hurricanes took place at the La Plata City Hall, which can accommodate 53,000 people. The course officially begins.
The number of Hurricanes fans who went to the away game for this game was much higher, because the team is now in a good situation, ranking first in the second division of the league, and the Argentine Cup has also reached the quarterfinals. If they can win against Estudiantes of La Plata, they will be in the semifinals.
This result is definitely quite strong for a second-division team. Therefore, the two-way winning record has naturally doubled its appeal to fans. Even in away games, there are more than 2,000 Hurricanes fans accompanying the team on away games, so that Hurricanes players are not so isolated during games. Helpless.
The University of La Plata is currently ranked 6th in the A-League and has good strength. Even though the Hurricanes are currently ranked first in the second division and have successively eliminated Boca Juniors and Banfield, both first-division teams, the Estudiantes still do not take the Hurricanes seriously and still regard the Hurricanes as being able to win easily. The belly of the fish.
Stereotypes are a pretty scary thing.
No matter how good the Hurricanes' record is, they are still only a B team. What's more, this is the home stadium of La Plata University students.
As a result, everyone saw that the La Plata University students sent out a 4-2-4 four-forward formation, preparing to bombard the Hurricanes indiscriminately.
The Estudiantes did exactly that, pressing heavily from the start of the game and attacking the Hurricanes' half.
If the four-forward formation of Estudiantes of La Plata is excusable, after all, they are playing at home, and as a top-ranked team in the A-League, they are qualified to do so.
It is a little surprising that the Hurricanes Athletic Team still insisted on their 352 single defensive midfielder formation and started a confrontation with the La Plata University Students.
Even though this is the usual formation of the Hurricanes, facing a strong team ranked at the top of the A-League on the road, they still dare to insist on their own style of play without flinching at all. The approach of head coach Mario Binco is really shocking. People are a little surprised, but also a little impressed.
If the final game is lost, and it is a huge defeat, then Mario Binco will definitely be criticized verbally.
And if the Hurricanes win, they will definitely be praised unanimously. This is called sticking to their own style.
In fact, Mario Binco did not just have the courage to attack the opponent, but Alan Willard gave him the confidence.
In the past few months of training and games, Willard has indeed shown extraordinary defensive strength as a second-tier player. In fact, even if he is placed in the Class A team, he will be a top defensive player.
If you insist on holding on, you may not be able to hold on. Therefore, with Alan Willard sitting in the backcourt, he invested heavily in the midfield and frontcourt to compete with his opponents to see if he could surpass them in goals. This was what Mario Binco considered after a long time. The strategy decided by Cai Cai and the coaching staff.
And Willard did not disappoint Mario Binco.
Only 4 minutes into the game, college midfielder Roman Martinez broke through Jimán Mandarino on the right and tried to drive straight in along the wing.
As a result, Alan Willard, who moved laterally to help defend, was in time to defend and made a fierce flying tackle to scoop the ball down.
When Roman Martinez saw Velard coming over with a fierce look on his face, his heart skipped a beat. He didn't even dare to take a free kick or cause a foul on Velard. He was afraid of being injured, so he took off directly and started from Velard. Jumped over.
In this way, although it was indeed not tackled by Velarde, the ball was also tackled by Velarde, and it did not go out of bounds. The moment the ball was about to roll out of the sideline, Villard, who was lying on the ground, hooked the ball back with his feet, got up immediately, and passed the ball before Roman Martinez behind him counterattacked.
Velarde used a fierce flying tackle to give Roman Martinez and other college players a showdown, reminding them of Velarde's midfield butcher and beastly waist record.
This caused the La Plata Estudiantes' offense to be a little sluggish and unsmooth when it advanced to the penalty area and faced Velarde. It also gave the Hurricanes players time and opportunity to return to defense and organize their defense.
In the 9th minute, when college forward Carrillo took the ball on the right side of the penalty area and faced Velarde, there was no point around him for the ball. In addition, he was a little unconvinced by Velarde, so he approached Velarde. He used a fake move to push the button, trying to shake Willard away.
His feints were more realistic than those opponents Velarde faced in the Albanian League, and Velarde was almost knocked away. But his 80% awareness and defensive ability allowed him to react in time. Although he failed to steal the ball directly, he turned around and stuck to Carrillo who was breaking through to the other side. The team simply couldn't control the ball and moved forward. In the end, they could only pass the ball to the gap in the penalty area in a hurry, trying to give their teammates a chance to shoot.
However, the ball was deflected due to interference from Velarde and failed to reach the gap he expected. The ball was directly intercepted by Hurricanes defender Mancinelli in the middle.
Facts have proved that even when faced with A-League forwards, Willard did not fall behind in one-on-one defense.
"Carillo almost beat Velarde with a feint."
"But Velarde reacted very quickly and turned around in time to get close to Carrillo. He pulled and grabbed the ball, making it impossible for Carrillo to dribble into the penalty area and shoot the ball himself, nor to pass the ball properly."
"The last reluctant diagonal pass failed to pass in place and was intercepted halfway by Mancinelli."
"Although Velarde failed to steal the ball from Carrillo's feet, he made a pass error by pressing close to him and regained the ball at the feet of his teammate. It can be regarded as a successful defense."
"Facts have proved that Willard's defensive ability is very useful even when facing the strong teams of the A-League."
"This is a potential new star who has reached the top defensive strength of the A-League, but currently lags behind the A-League."
"This game may have a lot of variables because of Willard's presence."
“College students in La Plata may not be guaranteed to win.”
The commentator's praise made the Hurricanes fans in front of the TV very excited, as if they had already seen the Hurricanes defeat the college students and advance to the semi-finals.
But in fact, with three defenders plus Velarde and a defensive midfielder, even if their strength is the same as that of La Plata University, the opponent's four forwards can equalize the Hurricanes' defense one-on-one. Coupled with the support of the two midfielders, the Hurricanes' defense was ultimately unable to sustain.
In the 17th minute, La Plata College student directly penetrated the defense of the Hurricanes Athletic Team through the assist of right back Aguirre Galai and the passing and cutting cooperation of multiple midfielders.
After all, it is a strong team at the top of the A-League. Even if it cannot break through Velarde one-on-one, it can still make progress through teamwork.
This skillful cooperation allowed Velarde to not even touch the shadow of the ball throughout the game. Even though his consciousness has seen through the opponent's running position and passing route, he can't separate himself, and his running speed cannot match the speed of others passing the ball.
In the end, college winger Bailey passed the ground ball across the penalty area from the left. Center Joaquin Correa got stuck in his position, resisted the push of defender Santiago Echeberria, and pushed the ball easily from the line of the small penalty area. Scored the ball into the goal.
Playing at home, Estudiantes of La Plata opened the scoring and led the Hurricanes 1-0.
Mario Binco on the sidelines had a stern look on his face, but he did not change his playing style. Instead, he signaled the team to continue playing according to the tactics arranged before the war and continue to attack the opponent.
After the home team celebrated, Hurricane Athletics kicked the ball out of the center circle and the game continued.
Under the instructions of Mario Binco, the Hurricanes Athletic Team, which was lagging behind, had no way out. In a cup match where the outcome was determined, they could only continue to move forward and have a fierce battle with Estudiantes of La Plata. .
The La Plata University students did not shrink their defense because of the lead. In their concept, facing the second-division Hurricanes, it is impossible to play defense. They must use an overwhelming offense to directly defeat the Hurricanes.
