While Argentina and other national teams participating in the Centenary Copa America were preparing for the competition in the United States, on May 29, the 2015/2016 UEFA Champions League final was held as scheduled at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy.
The Madrid duo each scored a goal in 90 minutes and the battle ended in a 1-1 draw. Griezmann regrettably missed a penalty kick. Then, neither side achieved anything in overtime and had to enter a penalty shootout.
In the penalty shootout, Real Madrid's first four players, Vazquez, Marcelo, Bale, and Ramos, all took penalty kicks. Atletico Madrid's top three players, Griezmann, Gabi, and Saul, all took penalty kicks, but Juan Fran, the fourth player on the field, missed the penalty kick.
The score of the penalty shootout between the two sides is now 4-3. As long as the next Real Madrid player to take the penalty kicks in, Real Madrid will directly win the championship. Atletico Madrid's last player will not even have the chance to take the penalty kick.
The last player from Real Madrid to take the penalty was Cristiano Ronaldo.
Under tremendous pressure and booing from fans of his rivals in the same city, Ronaldo took a few steps and kicked the ball into the right side of the goal. But goalkeeper Oblak misjudged the direction and pounced to the left.
Cristiano Ronaldo made the final decision as Real Madrid defeated local rival Atletico Madrid 5-4 on penalties and 6-5 on aggregate to win the UEFA Champions League in the 2015/2016 season. This also means that in the European Super Cup at the beginning of next season, Liverpool's opponent will be Real Madrid, and Willard will have the opportunity to directly compete with Ronaldo.
This is the second time Real Madrid has faced Atletico Madrid in the Champions League finals in three years, but Real Madrid had the last laugh each time, while Atletico Madrid sadly fell in the finals twice in a row, only one step away from the first Champions League in team history.
Simeone and the Sheets, after all, failed to win the first Champions League in team history, becoming the object of sighs from neutral fans around the world. Although Simeone has become one of the world's top coaches with his two Champions League runner-up finishes, and Atletico Madrid has also been regarded by many as a powerful La Liga team, the Atletico Madrid people themselves must still be quite depressed.
This is the tragedy of the runner-up.
Willard and others do not want to be runners-up, they want to be the only winners, that is, champions.
Although Messi is not good at words, his actions of using his own money to improve the food and accommodation conditions for his teammates have shown how much he values this century-old America's Cup.
Messi just told everyone that everyone should ignore the Football Association's affairs and concentrate on playing the game and winning the championship.
On June 1st, it was time to add attribute points on the 1st of every month. Willard spent 40 skill points to add one point each to his physique, consciousness, technique, and shooting, leaving 50 skill points left. .
After adding points, Willard’s skill attributes change to:
Host: Alan Willard
Nationality: Argentina
Club: Liverpool
Level: 46
Skill points: 50
Defense: 93
Physique: 96
Awareness: 96
Speed: 93
Headers: 93
Technology: 95
Shots: 96
Passes: 93
Inverse foot: 91
Goalkeeping: 30
…
Three main skills are 96, one skill is 95, and other skills all reach 93, and the reverse foot also has 91. With such attributes, and the help of teammates, even if the Football Association is dragging its feet, it should be no problem to win the Centenary America's Cup. of.
On June 3, in the opening match, the host United States unexpectedly lost 0-2 to Colombia, kicking off the 2016 Centenary America's Cup.
Next, Costa Rica 0-0 Paraguay, Haiti 0-1 Peru. Then, the Brazilian team, which lacked Neymar, was unexpectedly tied 0-0 by Ecuador, causing the first real upset of this America's Cup.
Next up is the Argentina game.
Argentina is placed in Group D. The teams in the same group are Chile, Panama, and Bolivia. In the first group match of Group D that has ended, Panama defeated Bolivia 2-1 and scored 3 points.
Argentina's opponent in the first group match was Chile, which was also Argentina's opponent in the 2015 Copa America final. At that time, Argentina defeated Chile 2-0 and won its first international championship in more than 20 years.
The two sides met again in the World Cup preliminaries, and Argentina was the winner again. Therefore, the Chilean team can be said to be a gathering of old and new hatreds against Argentina. In this group match, the Chilean team will definitely not let go and will definitely fight to the death with Argentina.
However, Argentina's superstars are limited by the European season that has just ended and the chaos within the Football Association. There is still some suspense about how much physical fitness and energy they have.
Although the Football Association, coaches and players did not disclose any inside information to the outside world, after all, it was suspected of internal strife and making fun of outsiders. However, the media and fans have still discovered the problems of the Argentine national team through flights, hotels, etc., and are still a little uneasy about the prospect of participating in the Centennial America's Cup.
But generally speaking, the Argentine national team has superstars such as Messi, Velarde, Aguero, Di Maria, etc., so everyone should not worry about their confidence in the championship.
No matter what, the first group match against Chile is finally about to begin, and the real story is about to begin.
At 19:00 in the evening on June 6, 2016, more than 68,000 seats were packed at Levi's Stadium in San Francisco, USA. With the referee's whistle, Argentina, ranked first in FIFA points in the world and the favorite to win this America's Cup, Play against Chile here.
Although the players are physically and mentally exhausted, once they step onto the court, they will still go all out to win. No matter how much the Football Association holds back, only by playing well can they obtain higher wages, bonuses, transfer fees, advertising endorsements, and status in the club.
Therefore, after the game started, Argentina, which deployed a 433 formation, led by captain Messi, continued to attack the Chilean team.
Although the Chilean team was determined to avenge their humiliation, they were exhausted under the indiscriminate bombardment of Messi, Higuain, Di Maria, and Velarde, as well as the auxiliary attacks of other players, and could not organize an effective attack at all. On the contrary, even the defense was in a hurry, and sometimes tactical fouls could only be used to stop Argentina.
The key is that Di María, Velarde, and Messi can pass and shoot suddenly from the left, center, and right directions, and the Chilean team's defense cannot stop them at all.
Especially Willard, his consciousness and physique have reached 96, and his skills are also 95. One person has almost no chance to stop Willard, and two or three people must surround him.
But in this way, the rest of Argentina will be empty, and Velard is not alone, so he can just pass the ball out.
This approach made the Chilean team unable to defend itself. In just 15 minutes, Chilean midfielder Vidal received a yellow card for uprooting Messi.
Within a few minutes, full-back Isla received a second yellow card for tripping Di Maria.
The Chilean team's defense looked torn apart under Argentina's onslaught, and it seemed only a matter of time before they conceded the ball.
