After a 15-minute rest, the two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half.
Bolivia mustered up the courage to attack fiercely at the beginning of the second half, but not only failed to score a goal to save some face, but suffered another heavy blow from Argentina in the 56th minute.
Mascherano intercepted the ball from Bolivian forward Duke and then passed it to defender Mercado who was running in from the wing. Argentina immediately launched a quick counterattack.
Although the Bolivian players immediately returned to the defense, they were still separated by the exquisite passing and movement of Velarde, Di María, Higuain, and Messi. Finally, Velarde opened the defense in the penalty area. After receiving Higuain's pass from the left rib, he volleyed with his left foot and kicked the ball into the near corner.
As Willard's shot hit the net, the commentators roared crazily:
"Goooooooooooooooooooooal..."
"The ball went in!!!"
"hat trick!!!"
"Villade scored a hat-trick in his 100th career game to help Argentina lead Bolivia 4-0."
"Villade was in such good shape in this game that the Bolivian couldn't stop him at all."
"The strength gap between the two sides is too big, and with the help of his teammates, Willard easily scored a hat trick, making his 100th career game even more perfect."
After scoring a hat-trick in such a milestone game, Velarde himself was quite excited. He rushed to the sidelines and celebrated with a passionate kneel-down celebration, which made the tens of thousands of Argentinian fans and his girlfriend in the stands even more excited and applauded. While chanting his name enthusiastically, they worshiped him.
Teammates also gathered around to congratulate him on his achievement of scoring a hat trick in such a game.
After the score became 4-0, the game lost its meaning. It was impossible for Bolivia to reverse the comeback. Therefore, Gerardo Martino began to make substitutions, replacing Messi and Di Maria first to rest.
The dismissal of Messi and Di Maria has weakened Argentina's frontcourt offense a lot. Although Velarde's dribbling skills are also good, Bolivia's bus and iron barrel formation is dense enough, making Velarde's dribbling basically useless.
As for the long-range shot, Velarde was also unlucky. He even hit the post once and failed to score the fourth goal.
In the 78th minute, Alan Willard was also replaced by head coach Martino to rest. When he came off the field, all the fans stood up and gave Velard warm applause and cheers to congratulate him.
Argentina's number one superstar is undoubtedly Messi, but today's protagonist is Velarde. He dominated the entire game with three goals and one assist, helping Argentina lead Bolivia 4-0. He deserves applause from all fans.
The subsequent game entered garbage time, and neither side had much interest in the game. Argentina's superstars don't want to waste their energy, but Bolivia is powerless. Even if Velarde, Messi and others came off the court, they could not play a threatening offense and score goals.
In the end, after the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Argentina defeated Bolivia with a big score of 4-0, winning the sixth round of the World Cup preliminaries.
Velarde, who scored a hat trick and sent an assist, was undoubtedly the man of the match and received applause and congratulations from all his teammates and fans.
In addition, Velarde also gained a huge experience of starting at 10 million + 3 goals 30 million + 1 assist 5 million + winning bonus 40 million + A-level performance 50 million = 135 million.
In this round of World Cup qualifying, Ecuador not only failed to draw, but even lost, causing Argentina to continue to widen the points gap with the second place.
After six rounds, Argentina ranked first with 16 points with five wins, one draw and zero losses. Uruguay ranked second with 13 points with four wins, one draw and one loss. Ecuador, which was ranked first two rounds ago, only had 12 points and dropped to third place. , Colombia and Chile ranked fourth and fifth with 10 points, Brazil and Paraguay ranked sixth and seventh with 8 points, Peru was eighth with 4 points, Bolivia was ninth with 3 points, and Venezuela was still at the bottom with only 1 point.
What is more surprising is Brazil. As a football kingdom, Brazil now only has 8 points. Just because of the goal difference, it beats Paraguay and ranks sixth, which is somewhat surprising.
Compared with Argentina's rapid progress and ranking first, Brazilian fans have to be quite disappointed with the performance of the national team.
If Brazil fails to qualify from the World Cup qualifying rounds and advance to the World Cup in Russia, it will be a joke.
After the game, the Argentine media praised Velarde in all aspects.
When Willard was still with the Hurricanes, he had already shown great strength. Now, in the Premier League, after Klopp's transformation, Willard is obviously stronger and has a wider range of activities.
Such Velard is undoubtedly very beneficial to the Argentine national team and may help Messi win the 2018 World Cup in Russia. As a result, almost no one resents him, except those who are jealous that he has several girlfriends.
Of course, for Velarde, this return to Argentina is also a rare day to reunite with his girlfriends. After the game, in the presidential suite of a high-end local hotel, Willard and his girlfriends hung out all night, slept until midnight the next day, and finally boarded the plane back to England exhausted at night. .
Returning to England, after just one day of rest and some recovery training, Willard ushered in the 32nd round of the Premier League.
Add points at the beginning of each month on April 1, because Willard only has 10 skill points left, so he can only add one skill. After some consideration, Willard added 10 skills to his physique, which will not only improve his physical fitness to cope with the test of two-line combat, but also improve his injury resistance.
The previous 6 skill points were a fraction, and they couldn't be added to the main skills anyway, so Willard used them for "goalkeeping".

At 17:30 on April 2, in the 32nd round of the Premier League, Liverpool faced Tottenham Hotspur at home. It was raining lightly during this game, so Anfield was not full, but there were more than 40,000 people.
After losing in the last round, Liverpool's prospects for winning the championship were full of uncertainty. Therefore, even if it was raining, many fans came to the scene, hoping to cheer for the team and let the team take all three points and continue to win. Hope of winning the championship.
Center defender Lovren returned from injury and entered the starting lineup. However, the main forward Firmino was injured and No. 7 Milner took his place in the starting lineup. Currently, Liverpool still has 6 injured players including Lucas, Benteke, and Firmino, who are also drunk.
In addition, the main players are basically international players from various countries and have national team competition tasks. Although Liverpool is playing at home in this game, their condition is really not good.
Fortunately, Willard had just performed an extra point operation the day before, and it happened to be added to his physical fitness, which helped to a certain extent in physical recovery, allowing Willard to show good condition in this game.
In the 14th minute, Tottenham's right midfielder Son Heung-min passed the ball past Emre Can's interception, but his ball was a bit too big, and Willard took over in time and dribbled the ball out of the boundary. , and there was no foul.
Son Heung-min was thrown to the ground after Verard scooped the ball away first. Therefore, Verard did not commit a foul and Tottenham only got one throw-in.
In the 22nd minute, Liverpool launched a positional attack. Willard broke through the defense of Tottenham midfielder Dembele on the right side of the frontcourt, passed the ball to Milner at the bottom, and then cut inward laterally. He ran into the gap outside the right corner of the penalty area.
Milner understood what he was doing, and after receiving the ball from the base, he did not pass the ball. Instead, he made an inverted triangle pass and passed the ball back to Willard who ran out of space.
In fact, the two of them played an inverted triangle against the wall, allowing Verard to break through the interceptions of Tottenham's other midfielder Dell and center back Wimmer, and rushed into the gap near the right corner of the penalty area, without stopping. The ball exploded directly with one kick, creating an earth-shattering heavy artillery wave in the world.
The ball flew through Tottenham's penalty area like a cannonball. Defender Alderweireld in the penalty area tried to fly to block the hole but failed. Goalkeeper Lori also reacted well, flying to save and even successfully touching the ball with his fingertips. However, the ball was too fast and powerful, and Lori's save failed to completely change the path of the ball.
The ball only changed slightly in the air, but in the end it flew into Tottenham's goal without hesitation.
According to statistics after the game, Willard's heavy shot hit the goal at a speed of 117 kilometers per hour, or 32.5 meters per second. It is no wonder that Lori, the goalkeeper of the French national team, was unable to save the ball.
Willard not only made a huge contribution in defense, but also opened the scoring for Liverpool, helping the Red Army lead 1-0.
The next game completely entered Liverpool's rhythm.
Although the players of the Red Army are in poor condition due to schedule, injuries, and national team competitions, Velarde, who has a physique of 94, is running all over the court, checking for omissions, filling vacancies, and directing. It is difficult for Tottenham's offense. A threat to Liverpool's penalty area.
Even Harry Kane, who is very good, has repeatedly failed in front of Verard. Even if he avoids Verard, he will be surrounded by other teammates directed by Verard, making it difficult to form a threatening attack.
Until the end of the first half, Tottenham failed to equalize the score.
Of course, Liverpool was not very lucky. A long-range shot from Willard hit the foot of his teammate Sturridge and bounced out of the baseline. Coutinho's shot from inside the penalty area hit the goal post and failed to score.
In the end, the two sides could only enter the halftime break with a score of 1-0. Liverpool, playing at home, took the lead by one goal thanks to Willard's heavy bombardment in the 22nd minute.
