Chapter 0370, top defense!(1/2)
In the last few minutes, Boca defended with all their strength and tried to keep the goal.
When the whistle sounded, General Boka finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the end, they got a 3-1 result at home.
With a total score of 4 to 2, Boca successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores!
Boca, which is bound to win this season, has taken another solid step!
The results of the next round are out, Boca faces Liberty of Paraguay.
This team is a long-established and strong team in Paraguay.
Another tough battle.
The quarter-finals are just a week away, and Boca has frequently played double games in a week recently.
In the tenth round of the league at the weekend, Boca challenged River Plate away.
This game is very important, and its symbolic significance even exceeds three points.
But Basile did the opposite.
In this game, he named more than half of the substitute players.
At the Monument Stadium, Boca defended perfectly!
Except for Chang Ming and Long Yu, Boca has almost all substitutes!
On the premise that we are already leading the second place in the league by 12 points, there is no need to fight to the death in this game.
Boca's focus now is on South America.
Basile's actions made some Boca fans in the stands a little dissatisfied.
After all, this is a battle of the century, how can you be so conservative?
Amid the cheers of the home team's fans, River Plate played with all its main players, and their offense became higher and higher.
Facing River Plate's 3-4-3 formation, Boca's 4-3-2-1 Christmas tree formation fought tooth and nail to resist.
Of the three defensive midfielders, Trimos and Elwes are on the left and right, with Chang Ming in the middle.
Under the fierce defense of these three players, Boca's defense was made of steel!
River Plate's attack was fierce, and Boca had no chance at all.
The three offensive players, midfielders Songsu and Naiker, and center Long Yu, played small coordination from time to time.
The efficiency is not low.
The first half of the game ended 0-0.
In the second half, the side changed sides and Boca, who had always been at a disadvantage, scored the first goal!
A corner kick opportunity, Chang Ming's corner kick accurately found Long Yu!
Long Yu leaped high!
Head the ball in the most familiar way!
The ball hit the net hard!
1 to 0!
Boca takes the lead to break the deadlock!
In the silence of the stands of the Monument Stadium, the Boca soldiers celebrated wantonly!
And next, they were even more confident!
Keep up the good work!
River Plate mobilized their troops and used up all three substitutions in less than an hour.
But it still doesn't help.
River Plate coach Grossi shouted loudly on the sidelines!
Shout out to players who are not performing well!
And like this, River Plate players are getting more and more impatient.
Assistant coach Astrada on the side frowned, but was restricted by his authority and had nothing to say.
The fierce battle reached the last moment, and the referee's whistle finally sounded.
River Plate lost at home to the most hated team.
The Boca soldiers captured the Monument Stadium with an incomplete lineup!
This 1-0 clearly demonstrated Boca's top defensive capabilities.
The team scored three points without losing any effort. This is the most important thing!
Three days later, Boca's top defense appeared again in the South American arena.
On the evening of May 13, Candy Box ushered in Boca’s Copa Libertadores quarter-final first leg match.
Riquelme returned to the field in this game, and the Boca captain finally returned from injury.
Riquelme's usefulness to this team is not only technical, but also spiritual.
Even if Chang Ming is very skilled, he cannot replace Riquelme's mental blessing to the team.
Valley drill
In this game, Kerme's appearance had an immediate effect.
In the 24th minute of the game, Riquelme's wonderful direct pass penetrated Paraguay's free defense!
Pickup catches the ball, and it’s a one-shot!
It's an excellent opportunity!
Just as Pika was about to shoot, he suddenly lost his balance!
The Paraguayan player knocked Picara to the ground!
The referee's whistle sounds!
Penalty kick!
No doubt about it!
Angrily, Pika got up from the ground and pushed the fouled opponent down!
The opponent who knew he was in the wrong was very cunning and took advantage of this opportunity to fall to the ground and roll on the ground!
Without saying a word, the referee gave Pika a red card!
Pika was sent off!
He paid the price for his impulse!
As for the fouling player, the referee just gave him a yellow card.
There were boos at Candy Box Stadium!
The curses kept coming!
Riquelme, Long Yu and other players also came forward to argue, but the referee was not moved at all.
An unfair penalty, Boca can't do anything about it.
Riquelme stood in front of the ball and took the penalty easily.
1 to 0.
Although the score was ahead, it was difficult for Boca to play next.
Basile adjusted his formation and tactics, with Chang Ming retreating and forming a double midfielder with Trimos.
In front of him were Riquelme and Songsu waiting for the opportunity to advance forward, while Long Yu advanced forward as a single forward.
With one less person to fight, Boca is in crisis.
Facing the tough style of Paraguay Liberty, Boca players frequently fell on their backs.
This puts more pressure on Boca players.
At the end of the first half, Boca held on to a 1-0 lead.
At the beginning of the second half, Boca still stuck to their tactics.
In the 70th minute of the game, Riquelme and Sonsu were both substituted, and Elwes and Naiker came on as substitutes.
Necker's fast horse attribute makes opponents fear Boca's counterattack as much as possible.
After Elwes came on the field, Boca once again had a combination of three midfielders.
In the game against River Plate, the three defensive midfielders perfectly completed the task of keeping a clean sheet.
In this game, they did it.
