Indeed, as the commentators said, even with a 3-0 lead, the Hurricanes' desire to attack is still very strong.
Not only because of the confidence and morale issues caused by the last round away victory over San Lorenzo, but also the reality of ranking in the standings.
In the first five rounds of the league, Rosario Central achieved five consecutive victories and accumulated 15 points like the Hurricanes Athletics. However, their goal difference was one less than the Hurricanes, and they were pushed to second place by the Hurricanes. s position.
If Rosario Central continues to win in this round and achieves a greater goal difference than Hurricanes Athletics, it is possible to reverse the ranking and move to first place.
Therefore, in order to continue to maintain its position at the top of the standings, the Hurricanes Athletic Team must not only win, but also score a few more goals and gain a few more goal differentials when they are in good shape.
Unfortunately, under the defense of the Bus Iron Barrel Formation with all Argentinian youths returning to defense, the Hurricanes were unable to break through the opponent's goal in the last ten minutes.
Alan Velarde once played a high-quality shot outside the penalty area in the 42nd minute, penetrating the entire penalty area of the Argentine youth, but in the end it hit the goal post and bounced out of the baseline.
Velarde was unlucky, and a possible goal-scoring opportunity was blocked by the goal post.
The two sides ended the first half with a score of 3-0. Atletico Hurricanes took a three-goal lead at home with Avila's brace and opposing defender Frelos' own goal.
After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again. After all, the Hurricanes were already three goals ahead, so Mario Binco began to make substitutions in the second half, using up all three substitutions within 15 minutes. Let the main players take a rest.
But this did not slow down the overall offensive rhythm of the Hurricanes. After a 15-minute break in the middle, the Hurricanes players, who had already had physical problems, regained their physical fitness again and continued to blast the Argentine youth in the second half. Indiscriminate bombing.
In the 54th minute, the Hurricanes almost scored again, but it was a pity that Fabianesi's arc shot from outside the penalty area was not well shot. Goalkeeper Ojeda jumped up and made a save, but it was deflected out. End pillar.
The Argentinian youth knew that this game was inevitable, but they did not want to have their heads shaved. Therefore, when they get the ball, they often try to counterattack.
In the 61st minute, they finally passed a wonderful teamwork and wing attack. The left midfielder Federico Gorgu cut in from the left and then passed the ball in an inverted triangle. The back row cut in and inserted the right midfielder Renard. Do Lenis met the ball and fired furiously from the right side of the arc in the penalty area about 22 meters away from the goal. He hit the ball without stopping and hit the world with a heavy shot.
This ball is of high quality and goes straight to the upper right corner of the goal.
Unexpectedly, goalkeeper Marcos Diaz rushed back to the right when Gorgu passed the ball in the inverted triangle, and seemed to predict that Renaldo Lenis was going to hit the upper right corner before he shot. , did not stop at all when moving to the middle of the goal line, but continued to move to the right with all his strength, and then jumped into the ball, barely stabbing the ball with his fingertips.
Just this poke with his fingertips. Although the ball did not completely go out of the baseline, it just changed the line slightly. Finally, it hit the post, bounced back into the penalty area, and was then cleared by the Hurricanes defender.
Marcos Dias made a world-class save, saving the heavy artillery world wave of Reynaldo Lenis that went straight to the blind corner, denying a face-saving goal from the young Argentine.
Young people in Argentina can no longer be undefeated and have their heads shaved.
Sure enough, after missing this scoring opportunity, just five minutes later, in the 66th minute, the Hurricanes scored again.
This time, Velarde suddenly dribbled the ball forward after getting the ball in the midfield. He used his 82 skills to break through the midfielder Inigos and then passed the ball into the penalty area.
Avila naturally couldn't hit the goal with his back to the goal, so he passed the ball to Toranso who inserted in the back row.
Toranso met the ball and volleyed the ball, but the angle was slightly right and was saved by goalkeeper Ojeda.
But Toranso's volley was too powerful. Ojeda failed to completely save the ball. Instead, he let go and the ball fell into the small penalty area.
Ojeda wanted to save the ball for a second time, but Avila, who had just turned his back to the goal and passed the ball to Toranso, had already completed his turn and rushed into the small penalty area, just in front of Ojeda. A follow-up shot and the ball went into the goal.
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooal..."
"hat trick!!!"
"Oh my god, Avila has a hat trick!"
"Toranso's volley caused goalkeeper Ojeda to miss the save."
"Avila has quick eyesight and kicked the ball into the empty goal before Ojeda made the second save."
"Avila completed a hat trick, helping the Hurricanes expand the score to 4-0."
"The game has lost its suspense, and the man at the center of Thomas Duke's court at this point is Avila."
"He completed a terrifying hat-trick in this game and dominated the game."
"Even Alan Willard, who is known as the core leader of the Hurricanes, this game is not as good as Avila."
"Avila has become a hero to all Hurricanes fans at this point."
Indeed, although Hurricanes Athletic have won ten consecutive games this season, no player has yet scored a hat trick.
Avila was the first.
Therefore, after scoring the goal, Avila took off his shirt in excitement and ran around the stadium to celebrate, regardless of whether he would be given a yellow card by the referee.
The fans in the stands also roared and shouted crazily. Under the leadership of the stadium announcer, they chanted Avila's fame and worshiped him.
A hat trick is a sign that a player has reached the peak of his status in a single game. Even for top superstars such as Messi and Ronaldo, it is not easy to perform a hat trick, let alone a forward of Avila's level.
This is also his first hat trick in the A-League, so it’s no wonder he took off his clothes to celebrate.
Velarde and others were also very excited. They gathered around to congratulate Avila and celebrated together. They were sincerely happy that he had completed the team's first hat trick of the season.
The home fans in the stands were also extremely excited.
This big win should ensure that the Hurricanes remain at the top of the standings. Rosario Central is unlikely to win as big as the Hurricanes.
Especially Avila's ferocious state reassures the fans that there will be no shortage of scoring points in the upcoming league and Copa Libertadores journeys.
In contrast, Krisna and the others were not so happy. Because a full 4 goals had nothing to do with Velarde.
Although the ball was passed into the penalty area by Velarde and Avila scored it, it was not scored by him when he received the pass from Velarde. Instead, he passed the ball to Toranso. , after Toranso shot, Avila scored with a supplementary shot.
Velarde still failed to get even a single assist.
This made Krisna and others not very happy, even though Willard's team led 4-0.
In fact, this is because they have limited knowledge. No more experienced fans will think that Willard has not contributed much.
They only focus on key statistics such as goals and assists, but senior fans can see the role of Velarde in this game.
The Argentinian youth remained undefeated in the first 5 rounds and ranked 8th out of 30 teams. How could it be true?
The Hurricanes only scored so many goals when they happened to be in good form and their opponents were in bad form. The reason why the ball was not conceded was because Velarde, Lucas and others eliminated all the opponent's limited counterattacks.
Gerardo Martino, the head coach of the Argentine national team, and Leo Messi in Spain were both watching the live broadcast of the game and saw the key role of Velarde in front of the TV.
Even if we only talk about the ball just now, even if Velarde's assist is not counted in the end, his two passes before passing the ball and then passing the ball can at least account for 50% of the credit for this ball.
What's more, he is not a serious offensive personnel. He is just a defensive player. He can help the team score this goal by occasionally making an assist.
As evaluated by the media, Velarde's offensive and defensive abilities are definitely beneficial to the current Argentine national team.
Even though Velarde is only 21 years old and has only played in the top league of Argentina for two months. Compared with those experienced midfielders in the five major leagues, his qualifications and experience are quite lacking, Martino still wants to give it a try. Let’s see if we can bring some changes to the Argentine national team, so that this national team’s embarrassing record of being weak in every major competition and Messi’s inability to win major championships so far can be improved.
Messi has the same idea. He always feels that the national team's defense is full of problems and he doesn't know how to change it. Although Willard looks too young and has little experience in the defensive midfielder position, the so-called youthful energy may bring some changes to the team?
Messi has decided that after the game, he will call the national team coach Martino and recommend Velarde.
The coach of the Argentina national team and the boss of the locker room have all thought about it. In fact, the matter of Velarde joining the national team is not a big problem anymore.
However, of course Willard, who was still in the game at this time, didn't know.
All he knew was that the game wasn't over yet. Therefore, after celebrating with Avila and others, Velarde walked to his own half with his teammates and reminded everyone not to get carried away and to continue to be vigilant. It is best not to let the opponent score a single goal.
If our side can score another goal, continue to expand the score, and expand the goal difference lead, that would naturally be the best.
Velarde now has higher prestige and appeal in the team than captain Mancinelli. Everyone is willing to listen to his words.
Therefore, in the next game, although everyone slowed down the offensive to save physical energy, they did not defend and allowed the young Argentinians to let go of the attack.
In the 72nd minute, the Argentinian young people finally played a good teamwork, attacking from the side, and finally went down, cut inside, and passed the ball in an inverted triangle, sending the ball to the gap on the line of the penalty area, allowing the back row to insert No. 22 Christian Alvarez made a threatening shot.
As a result, the moment he kicked the ball out, Velard, who was returning to defense at high speed, rushed back to the penalty area, destroyed it with a flying tackle, and successfully used his foot to destroy the ball kicked by Alvarez out of the baseline.
The young Argentinian finally managed to make a threatening attack, but it was destroyed by Velarde.
On the other hand, when the Hurricanes got the ball, they did not stop attacking just because they were 4-0 ahead. However, the offense is more cautious and detailed than before. When not sure, it will not easily penetrate the opponent's hinterland to avoid losing the ball.
In this way of thinking, the Hurricanes Controlled the vast majority of the ball, and the Argentinian youth rarely had the opportunity to get the ball to counterattack. Even if there is a chance to counterattack, most of them end in vain due to the joint prevention of Willard and others.
Finally, when the time came to the 86th minute, the Hurricanes used an attack that caused the opponent's defender to knock the ball out of the baseline, allowing the Hurricanes to get another corner kick.
Corner kicks have always been an important means of offense for the Hurricanes Athletic Team.
Therefore, despite already leading 4-0, Willard still called on his taller teammates to enter the opponent's penalty area to participate in the battle for the top.
If you can score another goal, it will be perfect.
