After winning the game against Sarsfield, Atletico Hurricanes ranked first in the A-League standings with a record of 23 wins, 0 draws and 3 losses in 26 league games and 69 points. Boca Juniors ranked second with 58 points. Saint-Lo Renso was third with 54 points.
San Lorenzo is 15 points behind Atletico Hurricanes. With only 4 rounds left in the league, San Lorenzo has no chance of winning the championship in theory.
Boca Juniors is also 11 points behind Atletico Hurricanes. Unless there is an extreme situation in which Boca Juniors wins all the games and Atletico Hurricanes loses all in the next four games, Boca Juniors can reverse Atletico Hurricanes and win the championship.
This possibility basically only exists in theory. Not to mention that the Hurricanes have Alan Velarde in the team, even without Velarde, this extreme situation is basically impossible to happen.
The Hurricanes Athletic Team's A-League championship and season double crown have basically been obtained, and the only thing left is the actual championship and award ceremony.
As long as the Hurricanes win the next round, no matter how Boca Juniors fares, the Hurricanes will win the championship three rounds in advance.
Therefore, after this round of games, both club officials and fan organizations of the Hurricanes Athletic Team began to prepare for the next round of possible early championship celebrations.
Winning the AFC Champions League and the Copa Libertadores in a single season is an unprecedented pinnacle moment in the history of Atletico Huracán, and it must be celebrated in a big way.
On Monday, September 28, Willard spent another 3 skill points to increase "Inverse Foot" from 72 to 73, leaving a balance of 287 skill points.
Then, it’s time to prepare for the next round of the league and prepare to celebrate winning the championship in advance.
As time passed and the day of the competition got closer, even Willard felt involuntarily nervous and excited.
The nervous thing is that this is an away game. If the Hurricanes cannot win the opponent smoothly and Boca Juniors wins, then the Hurricanes' early championship celebration will come to nothing.
The exciting thing is that as long as the Hurricanes win the game, no matter how Boca Juniors plays, the Hurricanes will win the championship three rounds in advance.
On October 4, the Hurricanes rode to Rosario City to challenge Messi's parent team, Newell's Old Boys. As long as they win this game, the Hurricane Athletics will win the championship in advance. Therefore, there are a lot of Hurricanes fans traveling with the team to away games, reaching nearly 30,000, which is ten times more than the number of fans who usually travel with the team to away games.
That is to say, Newell's Old Boys has a poor record this season and is currently ranked in the middle of the pack. The football market is not good, so a lot of tickets have been vacated for the Hurricanes. Otherwise, it would be impossible for all the nearly 30,000 away fans to buy tickets.
Now, the Marcelo Bielsa Stadium, the home of Newell's Old Boys, which can accommodate more than 40,000 people, has become the home of the Hurricanes. The die-hard fans of the Hurricanes have the upper hand.
In the evening, Boca Juniors' home game against Cruzeiro Norte started one hour earlier than Hurricanes' away game against Newell's Old Boys.
Velarde and his teammates completed the pre-match warm-up, returned to the locker room, changed into their match uniforms, and were preparing to play, when they received the news that Boca Juniors led Cruzeiro Norte 1-0 in the first half.
This makes everyone a little disappointed.
It would be great if Boca Juniors loses, then regardless of whether the Hurricanes can win or not, they will win the championship after this game.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Mario Binco clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention, and said: "Don't worry about whether Boca Juniors can win, the initiative is in your own hands. As long as we If we can win every game, no matter whether Boca Juniors wins or loses this round, we will win the championship in advance.”
"The Football Association has brought the championship trophy to the scene. As long as we win this game, the awards ceremony will be held immediately."
"At that time, we can march back to the capital with the trophy and be welcomed by thousands of fans."
"Therefore, everyone should forget about Boca Juniors' game and focus on our own game. As long as we win Newell's Old Boys, no matter how Boca Juniors plays, we will win the championship in advance."
As captains, Mancinelli and Alan Willard also stood up and reminded everyone not to think about the Boca Juniors game, but to devote themselves wholeheartedly to this game and win against Newell's Old Boys.
Everyone agreed, but when it came to the game, it was indeed difficult to determine whether they could really concentrate on the game.
At 19:30 in the evening, with the referee's whistle, the 27th round of the 2015 A-League match between Newell's Old Boys and Hurricanes officially started at the Marcelo Bielsa Stadium.
Although the head coach and the two captains gave reminders before the game, when it came time for the game, it was still difficult for the Hurricanes to devote all their energy to the game.
Hurricane Racing, which was still a second-division team last season, will soon perform the miracle of winning the championship as a newly promoted team and win the A-League championship. At such a critical moment, not to mention ordinary players, even Velarde and Mancinelli themselves are a little distracted and unable to devote all their energy to the game from the beginning.
Newell's Old Boys, who are playing at home, are ranked in the middle and have no desires, but they will never want the Football Association to build a podium at their home court after the game, and then witness the Hurricanes stepping on their corpses. Lifted the A-League championship trophy at their home ground.
Therefore, in terms of lineup, Newell's Old Boys sent out an extreme 4321 Christmas tree formation. The two people on the forward line were not midfielders, but central midfielders.
Only one experienced forward, Maxi Rodriguez, who has been in Europe, is a pure offensive player. The other five players in the midfield are all defensive players, including three defensive midfielders and two central midfielders.
Before the game, Newell's Old Boys' strategy was not to lose and not to let the Hurricanes receive the award at their home court. Therefore, they sent an ultimate defensive lineup of five defensive players in the midfield to defend and strive for a draw.
But when the game actually started, after discovering that the Hurricanes were still unable to enter the game, Newell's Old Boys' coach had a flash of inspiration and understood that the players of the Hurricanes were mentally unstable when the situation came to a close, so he immediately waved his hand. , signaling his disciples to press forward and attack, taking advantage of the poor condition of the Hurricanes Athletic Team to see if they can score a goal first.
I have to say that as the Newell's Old Boy who gave birth to Messi and Batistuta, he still has some background. Although the current ranking in the standings is not ideal, it is still possible to sneak in one or two goals at your home court when the opponent is in poor condition.
The players of the Hurricanes Athletic Team are indeed a little out of shape. Some people are nervous, some people are excited, and some people are thinking astray and are already imagining the award ceremony after the game.
This resulted in the Hurricanes' defense being really broken by Newell's Old Boys.
In the 23rd minute, Newell's Old Boys used the continuous passing and cutting cooperation of wing back midfielder Bernardello and central midfielders Mugni and Denis Rodriguez to tear apart the Hurricanes defense line led by Willard. Mugni received a fried ball in the middle and escaped from Federico Bismara's defense, then made a wonderful pass and sent the ball into the penalty area of the Hurricanes Athletic Team.
Maxi Rodriguez, an experienced veteran who has been in Europe, appeared like a ghost behind defender Nervo. After receiving the pass from Mugni, he volleyed the ball without stopping and successfully kicked the ball into the Hurricanes. The lower right corner of Atlético's goal.
