Although the schedule is very tight, after playing against Su Ke University and qualifying early, Mario Binco felt relieved and gave everyone a day off to let everyone have a rest and then come back to train and prepare for the next game. Contest.
On April 11, in the 9th round of the A-League, Hurricane Athletic challenged the competition club away from home.
In this game, the Hurricanes Atletico team performed some rotations. Mancinelli, Lucas, Toranso, and Avila were all rotated out and sat on the bench.
Mario Binco's tactics are also very clear, which is defense. This is an away game, and the weather is not good, it's raining, so we can't use any technical advantages. We can only see whether there is a chance to score in the aerial duel. Other times, just keep guarding your goal.
The competition club was the champion of the A-League playoffs last season, but it is currently only ranked 9th in the standings and is not performing very well.
This game is their home court, and the Hurricane Athletics team has also made rotations. The competitive team is naturally determined to win.
But the problem is that the weather in this game is not good. Their forward No. 9 Brian Fernandez is still a point-grabbing forward with a height of 170cm and a weight of 70kg. In this kind of game where the weather is not good and aerial attack is required, the face It is really difficult to work against the Hurricanes Athletic Team, which is full of experts.
Of course, the saddest thing is more than that. The most annoying thing is that the competition club is a bit extreme. They have always pursued technical football, ground passing and control, and look down on aerial bombing. There is not even a single player on the bench. A high center forward who is over 180cm tall.
Even the two forwards on the bench are point-grabbing forwards who are only over 170 centimeters tall.
It's not that the head coach doesn't want to do aerial bombing in this kind of weather, but the lineup doesn't allow it!
The helpless competition clubs can only play their familiar technical football in bad weather and stadium conditions, but in this way, there will naturally be many mistakes. Facing the Hurricane Athletics team, which had a reduced formation and was determined to defend and counterattack, it was difficult for the ground attack to penetrate the penalty area.
It wasn't until the game lasted for more than half an hour that the competition club sent the ball into the penalty area through a pass from midfielder Riska Romero. Forward Brian Fernandez leaned on Nervo and hit the goal frame. A range of volleys.
However, it was luck that the ball was hit within the goal frame by his sweep. There was no way to adjust the angle. In the end, because the angle was too straight, goalkeeper Marcos Dias swatted the ball down and then confiscated it directly.
Until the end of the first half, the competitive team, which was aggressively attacking, failed to break through the Hurricane Athletics goal.
Of course, the Hurricanes Athletic Team, which played away from home and rotated some of its main players, was also in poor form and failed to score a goal.
Alejandro Romero, who was the attacking midfielder in this game, had a long shot that hit the goal frame but was confiscated by the goalkeeper.
When Willard advanced to participate in the attack, he once headed a header, but he was also unlucky. It hit the crossbar and bounced up and out of the baseline.
In the end, the two sides entered the halftime break with a score of 0-0.
After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again. I don’t know if it was the opponent’s own idea or the instigation of his teammates or coaches. The No. 18 midfielder of the competition team, Chiello, began to follow Velarde, constantly colliding with Velarde. Pulling, making small moves when the coach couldn't see him, and constantly swearing in his mouth, trying to anger Velarde.
Obviously, this was to deliberately provoke Willard and make Willard, known as the beast's waist, lose his mind and attack him so that he could "lie down injured" and let the referee send Willard off.
Everyone knows now that the key to the Hurricanes' consistent winning is Velarde. As long as Willard is taken down, the opponent will easily win.
After all, after losing Willard, the Hurricanes Athletic Team became a truly promoted team.
But Velarde's defense is usually very clean and he basically doesn't commit any fouls. It is difficult for him to accumulate two yellow cards and then be punished with two yellow cards and one red. If he commits a flagrant foul and lures Willard into retaliating, not only may he be carded, but he may also be seriously injured in Willard's retaliation, and he may even be carried off on a stretcher and have to recuperate for several months.
Therefore, it is most cost-effective for Chero to provoke Velarde with his current language and small gestures to provoke him and make him take the initiative and lie down immediately.
However, Chero misjudged Willard's mental age. He thought that Willard, at 21 years old, would be easily angered. After all, nicknames such as Beast Waist and Midfield Butcher make it easy for Willard to be mistaken for a rough guy with well-developed limbs and a simple mind.
But in fact, Willard's soul is someone else's, and the military strategy brought by his nationality is thousands of years ahead of his opponents.
Usually it is Willard who guards closely, interferes with others, and interrupts other people's attacks. Now there was actually an opponent actively marking him, bumping, pulling, and swearing constantly. Velarde immediately knew what the opponent was up to.
Federico Bismara, his starting partner in this game, also knew about it and asked Velarde if he wanted to help, but Velarde smiled and shook his head no, and then started to deal with it himself.
First of all, in terms of small movements of pushing and pulling, Willard has 90 consciousness, agility and reaction speed, and 90 physical strength, so he is not afraid of the opponent at all. And when avoiding the referee's sight, Willard can push and pull his opponent in turn.
For example, in the 58th minute, the Hurricane Athletic Team got the ball and passed it to the frontcourt. When the Hurricane Athletic Team's frontcourt and the Competition Team's backcourt were fighting for it, the referee turned his attention to the frontcourt. Velarde and Chiello with their backs to the midfielder.
At this time, Velarde was about to move forward to assist, but Chiello, with the purpose of preventing Velarde from advancing, bumped into Velarde pretending to inadvertently pass by him.
Because his back was to the referee, Chiello was quite strong. He went with the mentality of either blocking Velarde's advance or provoking Velarde.
As a result, Velarde was well prepared, and his eyes seemed to be running upfield, but in fact he was staring at Chiello's movements from the corner of his eye. The moment the opponent collided with him, Velarde immediately dodged to the side, threw his elbow back, and hit Chiello's chin with his elbow.
But it’s not too heavy, there won’t be any bleeding, and there won’t even be any traces.
Chiello originally wanted to hit Velarde, but Velarde dodged, causing him to lose his center of gravity and fall sideways. Then he was hit by an elbow from Velarde in the chin, and naturally let out a scream. , fell down.
When the referee heard Chiello's screams, he turned around and saw Velarde raising his hands, indicating that it was not his foul, but Chiello who fell down.
The referee didn't know what was going on, and the attack in the frontcourt was still going on, so the referee hesitated for a moment and did not interrupt the game, but signaled that the attack in the frontcourt should continue.
However, the Hurricanes' attack failed to succeed. In the end, Fabianesi's pass was too close to the goal and was directly confiscated by goalkeeper Saha's timely attack.
At this time, the referee ran to the scene of the incident and asked Chiello, who was still lying on the ground pretending to be in pain, what was going on.
Cerro said Villard elbowed him and took him down.
But Villard said that he had just pushed forward normally, and Chiello wanted to hit him, but he avoided it, and Chiello fell down on his own. As for the elbow strike, he just raised his hand and accidentally touched him. There was no elbow strike. Chiello was diving, pretending to be injured, and cheating for free kicks.
The teammates on both sides naturally held their own opinions and spoke for their teammates, hoping to make the referee believe in them.
Because the referee had his back to Willard and Chiello when the incident occurred, he naturally did not see what happened to the two of them and did not know who to believe.
After checking Chero's chin for the last time, he found that there were no traces at all. In the end, he simply chose He Xini, asking both of them to pay attention to their movements and not to be caught by him.
Then, neither Willard nor the competition team was given a free kick.
Chiello felt that he had suffered a huge loss and approached the referee to express his anger and dissatisfaction, feeling that the referee's penalty was unfair. The result was a warning from the referee. If his teammates hadn't pulled him away, he might have received a yellow card for colliding with the referee.
Chero felt aggrieved, knowing that he was the real victim and was really elbowed by Willard. Although the force is not strong, it still hurts a bit, right? Why did nothing happen to Willard in the end?
Did you get the wrong script?
But this is just the beginning.
After the game restarted, Chiello continued to interfere with Velarde, but before his trash talk came out, Velarde's trash talk came:
"Are you still following me?"
"I'm not your father. I don't have money to give you. There's no point in following me."
"Besides, you fall down so easily, why are you playing football? Go home and suck your mother's milk!"
"Your face is so flat. Did you fall flat on your face when you were born?"
"Before I met you, I didn't even know I had the problem of judging people by their appearance."
"I think you shouldn't play football. You should go to the circus and be a clown. You should be quite popular."
When he was in China, Velarde was a senior netizen who hung out in major post bars, forums, and novel websites. He would talk all kinds of trash with profound connotations casually. Chero was said to him by Velarde even before he could even speak. De was furious, yelling at Willard to shut up, and stretched out his hand to push towards Willard.
In the end, little did he know that Willard was deliberately tempting him to take action.
When Velarde said these words before, he covered his mouth and whispered them. Not to mention that the referee didn't hear it, he couldn't even see it, and even if he could lip read, he couldn't translate it.
When Chiello retorted to Velarde, he was so mentally broken because he was scolded by Velarde that he did not pay attention to the volume. The voice was a bit loud, and the nearby referee heard it and turned his attention.
As a result, the referee who turned his attention happened to see Chiello reaching out and pushing Velarde. Velarde also yelled unceremoniously, pretending to be pushed hard by Chiello and losing his center of gravity. He looked up and fell to the ground.
"beep……"
The referee's sharp whistle sounded. Before Chiello could react what was going on, he was shown a yellow card by the referee and awarded a free kick from the Hurricanes Athletic Team.
Chiello was on the verge of tears and told the referee that he had not exerted any force and that Velarde was diving.
But Velarde acted so realistically that the referee said he only believed his eyes, and he also heard Chiello scolding Velarde, so the yellow card was not unjust.
After the game resumed, Velarde did not stop because Chiello had already received a yellow card, but continued to stimulate the opponent with small actions and swear words.
So, in the 76th minute, when the Hurricanes got a corner kick opportunity, Velarde entered the penalty area to fight for the top, and Chiello also entered the penalty area to defend. Ladd scolded Chero again, and Chero became angry and pushed Velarde hard.
Seeing that the ball was about to fly over his head and he couldn't hit it, Velard followed the direction of Chiello's push and fell to the ground with a scream.
This time, because Chiello was on defense, and because he was mentally broken by Willard's constant swearing, his pushing and pushing movements were even bigger than before, which was clearly seen by the referee.
Then, when the ball flew to the back point and was pushed out of the penalty area by the Athletic defender, the referee decisively blew the whistle for a foul on Chiello for pushing Velarde in the penalty area. Not only did he give Chiello another The yellow card resulted in two yellows and one red, which forced Chiello to be directly expelled from the field and gave the Hurricanes a penalty kick.
