Argentinian fans in the stands and in front of the TV were also worried about Velarde's "injury" and cursed the referee for not sending off Mejía earlier.
As for Mejía, who was really curled up in a ball and wailing on the other side, on the one hand, the Argentine felt that he was pretending, and in fact the injury was not that serious. On the other hand, even if they were really hurt, they deserved it, and they had no sympathy for Mejía.
However, what actually happened was that after the team doctors from both sides came in to examine and treat Velarde and Mejía respectively, Velarde took off his shoes and socks and sprayed some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing potion before returning to the hospital. stood up.
As for Mexia, her face was scratched by Willard's fingers, and two claw marks appeared. Of course, this is not the most serious thing. The most serious thing is that Mejia's lower body was hit by a knee when Willard fell down. His testicles were crushed and he bled directly.
As for the chest, stomach and other places where Willard's entire body was hit, there was no problem because of the large contact surface.
But broken testicles and bleeding are already the greatest pain for a man. No wonder Mexia curled up like that. She was really not pretending.
The Colombian team doctor waved a stretcher in and signaled to head coach Pekerman that a substitution was needed. After it was over, he complained to the referee Garcia that Velard had committed a serious foul and injured Mejia's lower body, which may ruin Mejia's entire lower body and happiness in the rest of his life.
For such a degree of malicious injury, Willard must be given a red card and an additional suspension.
Other Colombian players also saw Mejia's serious injury and surrounded the referee, putting pressure on the referee, hoping that the referee would severely punish Velarde.
However, the referee Garcia shook his head and said that the incident was not caused by Velarde, but Mejía made a mistake in his own judgment and tackled Velarde without being qualified to intercept the ball.
The ball was always under the control of Velarde. Mejía did not close his feet after missing the ball, and showed his spikes. Only then did he tackle Velarde who jumped up. Velarde lost his center of gravity and fell down. .
As for Villard’s knee that crushed Mejía’s testicles when he fell, that was an accident that occurred when he lost his center of gravity and had nothing to do with Velarde. Mejía’s injuries were his own fault. of.
Therefore, the referee not only did not change the decision, but instead showed a yellow card to Colombian forward Falcao, who was emotional, chattering, and even spitting in his face, and warned that if the Colombian players were disrespectful to him and collided with him again, He's about to get a red card.
There was no other way. The Colombian players could only suppress their grievances and anger, and pull the emotional Falcao and others away to avoid colliding with the referee and being directly punished by being shown a red card.
Mejia was carried off on a stretcher and sent directly out of the stadium. He was taken to the hospital by ambulance for emergency treatment. His position was replaced by substitute midfielder No. 3 Pedro Franco.
The conflict and confusion delayed more than three minutes before play resumed.
After the game restarted, the angry Colombians began to seek revenge on Velarde.
However, Velarde's performance made the Colombians finally realize why he was called a "beast waist" by the Argentine media.
Velarde not only has superb consciousness, but also has fast speed, great reflexes and agility. He always occupies a favorable situation, which makes the Colombian players who try to retaliate against Velarde fall into a passive situation like Mejía, allowing Velarde to hurt someone even if he hurts someone. There are also few fouls.
Moreover, during the collision, Willard had the absolute upper hand due to his strong physique and injury resistance, even in a completely equal collision.
In the 69th minute, Colombia's No. 10 midfielder James Rodriguez tried to compete with Velarde for an air ball. As a result, Velarde not only jumped high, but also headed the ball first and passed it to his teammate. , and also used a mid-air collision to knock Ronaldo to the ground, and it took him a long time to get up.
The key is that the referee also signaled the game to continue without calling Willard even a foul.
In the 74th minute, when striker Falcao took the ball on the right side of the frontcourt and was about to break through Marcos Rojo and then pass down the bottom, Velarde, who was returning to defense, rushed over from the side. The ball just passed Rojo and was a little too far. The child-sized ball shoveled out of the boundary, and Falcao, who failed to retract his feet in time to jump over, was also shoveled to the ground.
Similarly, Velarde did not commit a foul on this ball, but just gave Colombia a throw-in. Falcao also fell to the ground hard and took a long time to get up.
In the 79th minute, when Willard took the ball again to participate in the counterattack, he first hit the wall with Messi, and then faced center back Murillo and was tackled by Murillo.
As a result, Velarde repeated his old tricks, using his higher awareness, faster reaction and speed to get the ball away first, then pretended to be tackled by Murillo, and stepped on Murillo in the process. Although the fingers on the back of his hand that were resting on the ground were not broken, the shoe nails broke the skin on the back of his hand and caused it to bleed.
And there was still no foul, and after being treated by the team doctor, Murillo could only continue playing with a bandage.
Facts have proved that any idea of revenge on Velarde on the court is delusional.
Velarde, who is in the A-League, currently has a technical attribute limit of 90. Maybe someone is physically stronger than him, maybe someone is faster than him, maybe someone is more conscious than him, maybe someone is better defensively than him.
But there is absolutely no one like him who is average and reaches 90 in every technical index involving physical confrontation and reaction. Therefore, Velarde can always take advantage of his ultra-high comprehensive ability of 90 in all abilities. Not only can he retaliate against his opponents' malicious collisions and flying tackles, but he also basically avoids fouling.
By the time Colombia realized that they would not be able to take advantage of Velarde, but would instead suffer a loss, and they were still behind and needed a goal, the time had already passed after 80 minutes.
Colombia woke up from a dream and began to frequently kick the ball into Argentina's penalty area, allowing several big centers to fight for the top and try to take advantage of the weak chance of scoring from the ball in the air.
But at this time, Argentina not only had five defenders in the penalty area, but also Villard and Mascherano who returned from time to time to participate in the defense. Colombia's aerial bombardment basically ended in vain. Even if he occasionally grabs the first point, he cannot attack the goal well in the dense crowd of defenders and basically poses no threat to Argentina's goal.
On the contrary, it was Argentina. In fact, there was still a chance to expand the score before the end of the game. Unfortunately, Aguero was in really bad condition today. In the 88th minute, he kicked away Messi's pass from two people. , failed to expand the score.
In the end, after 5 minutes of stoppage time, referee Garcia blew the whistle to end the game. With Velarde's header before the end of the first half, Argentina defeated Colombia 1-0 and advanced to the Americas. Cup semi-finals.
As soon as the game ended, the Argentinian fans at the scene and in front of the TV were completely reveling. Gerardo Martino and other coaches and substitute players on the sidelines also rushed into the field to celebrate.
In this game, Colombia's cluster center tactics really almost overturned Argentina. Fortunately, Argentina has Velarde, a super midfielder with all-around offense and defense. Not only did he score a header to help Argentina win, he also contained most of the opponent's attacks in defense.
At the same time, Velarde also improved Argentina's mental hardness. He was never at a disadvantage under the opponent's malicious fouls, and sent Messi's midfielder Mejía, who had violated Messi several times, on a stretcher, to the hospital, and even stepped on it. Injured the hand of another defender Murillo.
Therefore, it should be said that it is still difficult to win this game, so it deserves a warm celebration.
With the gains from this game, Willard's total experience has also increased to level 36, 164.89 million/100 million, and has been automatically upgraded to level 37, 64.89 million/200 million. He has also received an upgrade reward of 40 skill points, and the balance of skill points has increased to 133.
At the post-match press conference, Gerardo Martino severely condemned Colombia's tactics of cutting Messi and claimed that this must have been instructed by head coach Pekerman.
The game is a game, and you have to admit that your skills are inferior to others. However, as an Argentine, Pekerman can be called a traitor to Argentina for using such destructive tactics against Messi, the Argentine national hero and successor to the world championship.
Pekerman naturally would not admit this, saying that it was entirely the player's personal behavior. Moreover, in turn, he condemned Villard’s bad behavior of stepping on Mejía and causing Mejía to be sent to the hospital, and criticized Velarde’s “evil behavior” for repeatedly “fouling” but not being called out by the referee. Accused, and said that Willard is the beast waist, devil, and butcher who uses his physical strength to frequently hurt people.
The Argentine media that night and the next day celebrated Argentina's 1-0 victory over Colombia and advanced to the semi-finals, while condemning Pekerman for being an Argentinian but instructing his Colombian disciples to carry out destructive tactics against Messi.
If Pekerman were not Argentinian, although he would be condemned, everyone would not be so angry. After all, he is an opponent and an enemy! The problem is that Pekerman himself is Argentinian, but he actually instructed Colombia to use tactics to defeat Messi, which is really bad.
Fortunately, Argentina had Velard, who got Mejía on a stretcher in time and took him to the hospital. He also shocked other players and stopped using chopping tactics against Messi. In the direct collision between Willard and the opponent, Willard also had the upper hand, so the result was acceptable to everyone.
However, the next news from the hospital made the Argentinians completely relieved.
Because Mejia, who was taken to the hospital by Willard, was said to have had one testicle completely shattered and the other severely damaged. Her sexual function was greatly damaged and she might be sterilized from now on and never give birth to a child again.
Everyone suddenly felt that all their anger had been released, and their thoughts finally came to light!
As for the reporter who went to interview Willard, Willard retorted: "Apologise? I'm sorry, I won't have any apology. It was Mejia who shoveled me first, and I was knocked down by him and lost my focus. He hit him only after he fell down, and any injuries he suffered were all his own fault. What's more, his many serious violations against Messi before proved that he has bad football skills. This is called evil being rewarded."
After Velarde's interview was released, he won praise from Argentine fans and Messi fans.
Everyone clapped their hands and applauded, thinking that Mexia's injury was indeed a sign that evil deeds should be punished and that they deserved it!
