Di Maria's goal finally put a smile on the face of Gerardo Martino, who had been very unhappy during this period. He stood on the sidelines for the Angel's goal and the passes of Velarde and Messi. applaud.
The players on the field also gathered together to celebrate Di Maria's goal. No matter what the Football Association does, the players are still fighting hard for their country.
After the game restarted, Chile began their counterattack.
As the home team, the Chilean team definitely has a certain advantage. The Chilean fans in the stands are also working hard to cheer for their national team, hoping that they can catch up and reverse Argentina.
In the following period, the Chilean team really created a certain threat. However, Argentina's defense now has the great master Velarde, and it is no longer as easy to collapse and be overturned as before.
Not only does Velarde have strong defensive abilities, but he can also use his superb awareness to direct his teammates to assist in defense. Although the teammates of the national team are not as obedient as the previous Hurricanes players, Velarde's strength has been proven through the America's Cup, World Cup preliminaries, and long-term matches in the Premier League. In order to win, everyone is still willing to listen to Velarde. commanded.
It was under such circumstances that in the 31st minute, Sanchez passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area after avoiding Velarde. When the ball was met by Chilean forward Orellana, Argentina center back Mori was reminded by Velarde. He just rushed forward and blocked the hole of the gun, blocking the ball.
In the 36th minute, the Chilean team got a corner kick. Central defender Medel almost grabbed the spot and shook his head to attack the goal, but Velard jumped high from behind, got ahead of him and pushed the ball over the baseline to clear the siege. .
Although the Chilean team was given the opportunity to continue taking corner kicks, this time the Chilean team failed to even grab the spot and was pushed out of the penalty area by Argentine center back Otamendi to clear the ball.
While guarding against the Chilean team's offense, Argentina will naturally not forget its own offense.
In the 42nd minute, Argentina played a beautiful team attack.
First, Di Maria broke through from the left and cut inside, then passed the ball across and sent it to Aguero.
Aguero caught the ball in the middle of the penalty area and attempted to shoot, causing two Chilean defenders to rush in front of him to block it. The goalkeeper also defended tightly, but Aguero used his heel to knock the ball diagonally behind him and passed it to the back row. Willard plugged in.
Velarde stepped in from the back row, rushed to the line of the penalty area, fired angrily without stopping the ball, and hit a heavy shot that directly opened the door of the Chilean team.
"Haha, the ball went in!"
"2-0!"
"Argentina leads 2-0 away from home."
"It was Willard who scored this time."
"Aguero faked a shot in the penalty area and made a wonderful pass with his heel. He assisted Velard, who came in from the back row and hit the goal with a heavy shot."
"Villad's shooting skills, shooting power, etc. are still guaranteed."
"This attack fully proves Aguero's flexibility and Velarde's shooting skills."
"The Chilean team had very little power to fight back."
"With a two-goal lead, Argentina has basically won the game."
"If Chile's offense doesn't improve in the second half, then Argentina will definitely win."
The first half is not over yet, and it is too early to say that Argentina has won, but the two-goal lead does make the opponent Chile a little anxious.
In a football match, being two goals behind can be a bit frustrating. Therefore, in the remaining minutes of the first half, the Chilean team's offense became more and more fierce.
However, in football matches, you don't just score goals if you attack hard. What's more, Argentina has four defenders and three defensive midfielders. Among them, Velarde is a flexible free agent who can defend everywhere. He is also very strong. It is difficult for the Chilean team's offense to even reach the penalty area and complete a shot, let alone score a goal. of.
Until the end of the first half, the Chilean team did not score even a goal. The two sides entered the halftime break with a score of 0-2. Argentina, playing away games, led by two goals.
After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half. The Chilean team took advantage of the opportunity at the beginning of the second half to launch a burst of attacks, trying to take advantage of Argentina's careless mentality to launch a wave of sneak attacks to see if they could score a goal.
But it turns out that Argentina did not underestimate the enemy and did not wander around at the beginning of the second half to give the Chilean team a chance.
The Chilean team attacked for more than ten minutes, but not only failed to score, but in the 59th minute, Argentina stole the ball and launched a counterattack.
Sanchez dribbled the ball past the interception of midfielder Banega and went too far. Velarde, who was ambushed behind Banega, saw the right moment and made a decisive move. He tackled the ball before Sanchez could regain control of the ball. To nearby teammate Rojo.
After taking the ball, full-back Rojo didn't wait for the Chilean team's frontcourt players to counterattack, and immediately made a long pass to Messi in the gap.
Messi, who was originally in a walking state, immediately caught the ball, turned around, and Matthews passed the ball. In one go, he broke through the intercepting midfielder Felipe Gutierrez in an instant, and then dribbled the ball diagonally toward the Chilean team's penalty area. Kill.
Although people from the Chilean team continued to come forward to intercept, Messi passed several people through his skillful passing and even with Di Maria and Aguero, and then successfully dribbled the ball into the Chilean team's penalty area and pushed the ball far away. Corner scored, extending the score to 3-0.
"Oh, the ball went in!"
"Messi!"
"Messi scored!"
"The Chilean team attacked too hard and was counterattacked by Argentina."
"This goal was caused by Velard intercepting Sanchez's ball, and finally Messi scored after several people."
"This Argentina has Velarde on defense and Messi on offense. Velarde is versatile and can fly everywhere to cooperate. He is in the world's top condition on both offense and defense."
"In the last World Cup, Argentina was the runner-up. Now with the emergence of Velarde, the prospects of the Pampas Eagles in the next World Cup are really exciting."
"Messi's dream of winning the World Cup and becoming the best player in the world may come true with the help of Velarde."
Messi, who scored the goal, was also very happy and celebrated enthusiastically with his teammates. A small number of Argentine fans in the stands and the domestic audience in front of the TV also applauded and cheered enthusiastically.
The three-goal lead completely sealed the victory of this game. Argentina was certain to win this World Cup qualifying match.
Therefore, not long after the game restarted, Gerardo Martino began to make substitutions one after another, replacing Messi, Di Maria, and Aguero, who were in poor physical condition and prone to injury, to rest. Substitute players such as Higuain were replaced and trained in actual combat.
After the substitutions, Argentina's offensive strength declined, and the Chilean team also increased its offensive accordingly, trying to make a comeback.
However, Argentina still had Velarde in the backcourt, and the Chilean team's offense repeatedly failed and failed to gain anything.
Instead, Argentina counterattacked after getting the ball. Especially with Velarde involved, the threat level was very high, causing chaos in the Chilean team's backcourt every time.
In the 80th minute, Villard passed three people in a counterattack. When he reached the outside of the penalty area with his right foot and was about to take a shot, he was pushed hard from behind by the opposing full-back Beausejour, who was returning to defend. He was unable to complete the shot. shots.
However, Beausejour's obvious pushing foul was also shown a yellow card by the referee and Argentina was awarded a free kick.
Messi and Di Maria were not on the court, so Willard took the free kick personally.
Although the Chilean team knew that Velarde had scored a direct free kick in the Premier League, a wall of six people lined up on the goal wall to try to block Velarde's shot path, but in the end it was in vain.
Willard's free kick went over the top of the wall, drew an arc in the air, and flew into the far goal.
However, goalkeeper Bravo predicted that Willard would hit the near corner and moved to the near end in advance. But after he took a step, he realized that the ball was flying towards the far end. He wanted to turn around and fight back, but it was already too late.
The ball flew into the goal against the far post before his palm could reach it.
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooal..."
"The ball went in!!!"
"Direct free kick to score!"
"Villade scored twice, helping Argentina expand the score to 4-0!"
"Argentina had a resounding victory."
"Although Messi, Di Maria, Aguero and others have been replaced, Argentina still maintains a strong offensive power."
"Willard is not only good at defense, he is also extremely sharp in offense, and his scoring efficiency is as good as any forward."
"He even has such superb direct free kick skills that his opponents can't even make a tactical foul on him."
"Beausejour's foul on Velarde just now was a tactical foul. As a result, he not only received a yellow card, but he also failed to prevent Velarde from scoring."
"Villade scored twice through this direct free kick and helped Argentina expand the score to 4-0, completely killing all suspense in the game."
"The Chilean team has nothing to do!"
Velarde, who scored twice, was also quite happy, but he did not celebrate provocatively to provoke the Chilean home fans. He just made a fist and waved, and then hugged and celebrated with his teammates who ran over.
The experience of the national team competition is relatively rich, and now his promotion depends on the experience of the national team and the European competition.
Velarde's goal completely destroyed all the confidence and morale of the Chilean players. Before Willard scored the fourth goal, even if they were three goals behind, they were still playing with the faint hope of performing a miracle.
But after Willard scored this goal, everyone was completely desperate.
With this score, no one else could do anything except Lewandowski who scored 5 goals in 9 minutes. Even if Lewandowski appeared in person, it would be impossible to replicate his 95-year supreme miracle.
However, the Chilean team did not lie down and completely gave up attacking. However, they gave up the reversal, but their desire to score a goal and avoid being shaved remained unchanged.
Argentina, which had a four-goal lead, was a little lax in the back defense, and was really beaten by the Chilean team through a free kick before the end of the game. Midfielder Francisco Silva scored with a volley, helping the Chilean team score the goal. , tied the score to 1-4 and saved a bit of face.
In the end, the final score of this game was 1-4, and Argentina won a resounding victory in the fifth round of the World Cup preliminaries.
