Under the tenacious defense of the Hurricanes Athletic Team, Boca Juniors' aggressive attack was never able to break through the Hurricanes' goal for the second time.
As time went by, the Boca Juniors players became more and more anxious. Even they had used two substitutions, but they still could not find a way to break the game.
It is difficult to break through Alan Willard's frontal interception in the middle, so most of Boca will play on the wing and try to pass the ball in an inverted triangle.
But when the triangle is knocked down, Willard often sees through the intention and intercepts the ball halfway. As the remaining time became less and less, Boca Juniors lost the patience to attack on the ground and began to frequently pass high balls in an attempt to allow the center to fight for the top.
However, the Hurricanes' aerial defense is better than the ground defense. The probability of passing the ball into the Hurricanes' penalty area is very low.
In the penalty area, there are not only Eduardo Domingos, Santiago Echeberria, and Mancinelli, three central defenders who are masters of aerial contention, but also Alan Velarde, who often returns to defense, and Boca Juniors. It is impossible to grab the first point, but it is easy to lose the ball.
In the 86th minute, Boca Juniors once again made a pass from the left wing from full-back Pablo Perez, but the first point was grabbed by Hurricanes center back Eduardo Domingos and pushed out of the penalty area. Solved.
The second landing point was in front of Velarde. With his back to the direction of attack, he used his strong physique to open his hands to block Boca Juniors midfielder Elwes, who was also trying to compete for the second landing point. Then the ball fell. In an instant, he tipped his toes and lifted the ball over his and Elwes' heads at the same time.
Then Velarde turned around Elwes, received the ball behind Elwes that Velarde just picked up, completed a back-to-back pass, and then began to stride forward with the ball.
Although Elwes immediately turned around and chased after him, Velarde's physique, speed, skills, etc. were all superior. Even if the speed of dribbling the ball slowed down, Elwes could not complete it. Overtaking, stealing the ball from the side, and having to follow behind Velarde to interfere.
However, the interference did not last long. After Willard dribbled the ball forward a few meters, he saw Fabianesi running out of the gap and made a diagonal pass to Fabia on the left. On the route of Nessi's movement.
With no ball at his feet, Velard immediately increased his speed, shook off Elwes in an instant, and rushed towards Boca Juniors' half and even the penalty area.
Also moving forward were Alejandro Romero, Avila and others. This was a quick counterattack by the Hurricanes Athletic Team.
Although Boca Juniors' midfielders and backfield players fought hard to defend, they were ultimately unable to stop the Hurricanes' counterattack.
When Fabianesi was intercepted by the full-back, he hit the wall with Alejandro Romero, and then successfully passed the ball into the penalty area.
Avila, who was in the front position, was not tall enough and failed to grab the landing spot, so he fell to the top.
But Velarde, who followed up in the middle, had no problem. In the struggle with Boca Juniors center back Daniel Dias, he jumped hard and jumped high. He overpowered Daniel and grabbed the landing spot with a powerful headbutt. Attack the goal and head the ball towards the lower left corner of the goal.
Willard deliberately hit a ball that bounced off the ground.
Heading skills as high as 90, he has this strength.
Not only was the ball at an awkward angle, but it also bounced off the ground. Goalkeeper Guillermo Sala had no choice but to subconsciously pounce on the ground.
But before his body fell completely, the ball had already hit the ground first, and then bounced into the goal from the huge space under his palm.
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooal..."
"The ball went in!!!"
"Alan Willard!"
"He scored the third goal for Atletico Hurricanes, who led Boca Juniors 3-1 and re-extended their lead to two goals."
"And now, it's the 86th minute of the game."
"Villade's goal basically sealed the victory for the Hurricanes."
"It's almost impossible for Boca Juniors to score two goals in the remaining minutes to equalize the score."
"Hurricane Athletics is 99% guaranteed to win."
"Facts have proven that it is not a fluke that Atlético Huracán is currently at the top of the Aerie A standings and the Copa Libertadores group stage standings."
"And Velarde has lived up to Gerardo Martino's trust. Whether in the national team or in the league, he has maintained a continuous high-level competitive state. Not only in defense, but also in offense, Velarde's role is very important. big."
"It is no exaggeration to say that Willard is the number one defensive midfielder in the current A-League."
"After playing this season at the latest, Velarde will definitely land in Europe. Europe may not lack offensive personnel or defensive midfielders, but it will definitely lack an all-around offensive and defensive midfielder like Velarde. "
"The existence of Velarde has directly raised the strength of the Hurricanes Club by several levels, from an ordinary newly promoted team of the Argentine League to the level of a championship team. Currently, the Hurricanes Club continues to occupy the top spot in the AFC Champions League standings and the Copa Libertadores. The first place in the group standings is proof of that.”
The commentators speak into the microphone and shout to the audience watching the live broadcast in front of the TV. The audience listened to the announcement from the stadium announcer Luke Brisic.
As the play-by-play announcer at Duke Thomas Arena, Luke Brisich naturally favors the Hurricanes Athletics. When Boca Juniors scores a goal, he simply announces what minute Boca Juniors scored, the name of the scoring player is so-and-so, what is the current score between the two sides, etc., without any emotional overtones. , like a broadcast robot.
But when the goal was scored by the home team Hurricanes Athletic, his broadcast method was different.
For example, this time, after Willard scored with a header and the referee blew the whistle to confirm that the goal was valid, Luke Brisic's announcement was:
"In the 86th minute, the home team Hurricane Athletics scored!"
"The score is now Hurricanes 3-1 Boca Juniors!"
"The goal was scored by No. 4 Alan Willard!"
When he said this, everything was normal, but Brisic then said loudly:
"Let's chant the name of the hero who scored the goal together!"
"Alan..."
After screaming, shouting, and applauding loudly, the more than 40,000 fans in the audience who calmed down a little had a tacit understanding and echoed in unison: "Villad!"
Brisic: "Alan..."
Fans: "Willard!"
"Alan!!!"
"Willard!!!"
…
Led by Luke Brisic, the fans shouted Velarde's name several times to express their admiration for him.
This is a momentum that Avila never scored twice.
Even fans who are not very senior know from news reports what Velard means to the current Hurricanes Athletic Team. It can be said that he is completely like Optimus Prime, his absolute thigh.
Looking at the previous national team training sessions, out of the 30 teams in the A-League, only 4 people were selected for the national team training list, and the one who performed best among them was Velarde.
This is already very illustrative.
Without Alan Willard, the Hurricanes Athletic Team would never be able to achieve its current results, and they might still be worried about how to avoid relegation!
Due to his versatility in offense and defense, Willard's improvement in the Hurricanes' strength is not one-sided, but an improvement in both offense and defense, and the improvement is not just one or two points.
Velarde has become the number one star of the Hurricanes Athletic Team. Among the fan base, Velarde is more popular than Avila, Mancinelli, Marcos Dias and others.
In the Hurricanes fan supplies store, sales of Velarde's No. 4 jersey are also rising, and more and more fans are buying Velarde's No. 4 jersey as a souvenir.
Because everyone knows that there is a high possibility that Willard will not be seen next season. By then, Willard will most likely land in the five major European leagues.
If you don’t buy it this season, you won’t have to buy it next season.
Willard can also get some share from the sales of jerseys, which can be regarded as the fans' actual support for him. As for Willard, he can only repay the fans' support and love for him with better performance.
Not only defense, but also offense must contribute more and more.
Otherwise, he would not only be sorry for the fans' support for him, but also sorry for the increasingly higher system attributes.
In addition to ordinary fans, Krisina and other girlfriends in the stands were naturally excited and proud of Willard's performance.
Even more happy is Reth Bertha. She has learned from her mother's phone call that her father has begun to accept Willard. On the one hand, it was Bertha's persistence that made Harry Ralph helpless. On the other hand, it was also Willard's increasingly outstanding performance, even in the national team, that made Harry Ralph unable to object any longer.
Argentina’s economy is not good, so how many girls can find an ideal, wealthy partner?
Since Willard is so famous, will definitely become richer and richer in the future, and is in love with Rhys Bertha, then Harry Ralph can only accept it and has neither support nor objection.
Inside the stadium, Willard and his teammates also celebrated enthusiastically. This goal basically sealed the victory, so it was certainly worth celebrating.
After the game restarted, Mario Binco also used up the last two substitutions, and also used substitutions to delay time.
It was not until the 92nd minute of injury time that Boca Juniors took advantage of a corner kick opportunity. Their center back Tosilieri grabbed the first point and hit the goal with a header. He headed the ball into the goal of Atletico Hurricanes and tied the score. Tied 2-3.
However, the remaining time was not enough to score another goal for Boca Juniors.
Not long after the score became 3-2, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. In the end, with Avila's brace and Velarde's header as the icing on the cake, Atletico Hurricanes defeated the super giant Boca Juniors 3-2 at home and won the 8th round of the league.
Velarde also received an experience reward of 100,000 starting points + 100,000 for 1 goal + 100,000 winning bonus + 500,000 for A-level performance = 800,000. The total experience increased to level 32, 53.63 million/60 million.
The experience of the A-League is already somewhat insignificant compared to the experience that now requires tens of millions to upgrade.
