Later that evening, all games in the round ended with Hurricane Athletics moving up significantly in the rankings to return to the top five in fourth place thanks to this 3-0 win.
Tucuman Athletic lost, but the unbeaten run was too strong and still stayed at the top of the table.
Although foreigners were more open-minded and Alisa and Velarde had established their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend, at night she still slept in the same bed as her sister, squeezed in with Kristina and Bertha, and did not sleep with Velarde.
After all, it was the first day of the relationship, and Alyssa was still a little embarrassed.
Velarde was in no hurry.
The next day, the team had the day off and the four of them went out for another day of fun and shopping together and bought a number of newspapers with Velarde coverage.
League Two is not the top league, but League Two news is still covered by the media, even though it won't be on the front page.
And Hurricanes Athletic's 3-0 thrashing of Tucumán Athletic was undoubtedly the biggest news of the round of the A-League. And, as the man of the match, Alan Velarde's performance also took up a lot of space in various reports.
Kristina bought a few more copies to use as a collection.
In the afternoon, Velarde received a phone call from Connor Bazell, the manager of Gonia Restaurant, stating that the owner had agreed to sign a six-month image endorsement contract with him for $20,000 for six months, and asked Velarde to go over and sign the contract.
Velarde immediately rushed over with his sister three, and after discussing the details of the contract again, the two sides signed the contract, and then Connor Bazell took Velarde to an advertising agency to take a high-definition art photo, washed it out, and Velarde signed his big name, and then went back to the restaurant to hang it in the lobby.
The effects are not yet known, but Velarde's $20,000 for the first endorsement of his life is already received. Although it will require some personal taxes, most of it will land in your pocket after all.
With this windfall, Velarde had wanted to treat his sisters to a big dinner. Unfortunately, Connor Bazel graciously invited them to a nice dinner right there in the restaurant, accompanied by Bazel and a few of the restaurant's managers.
Being able to sign endorsements and receive endorsement money is a major step in Velarde's career.
After the celebration, the three Kristina's took a cab back to school and Velarde started his training routine again.
On Monday, September 8, Velarde spent 11 skill points to add his defense to 76, fitness to 80, speed to 66, headers to 61, and technique to 58, leaving him with a balance of 28 skill points.
The "awareness" was already at 80, but because of the club level, it could not be added.
In addition, I don't know if it's because of the increase in the "Physical" attribute, but not only did Velarde's physical ability become better and his bones become harder, but his weight also increased by 1kg, reaching 85kg.
With a higher body weight, the impact resistance naturally becomes higher. Perhaps this is also a sign of a better "physique".
Over the next few days, Velarde continued to train seriously every day, and added morning and evening workouts, and gave the coaching staff and teammates another breathtaking look at his terrifying rate of improvement.
In addition, teammates Dalia and Bonnie Fashaw, although not as scary as Velarde's speed, but so more than a month under Velarde's influence to follow the serious training, hard to add down, but also still have a lot of progress, although not as obvious as Velarde.
As a result, both Dahlia and Bonifacio surprised both by doubling up on the roster for the league's Round 7 away games, which was announced after training on September 11th.
As for Velarde, after being voted best player of the match in the previous round and helping his team to a 3-0 win, there was basically nothing to lose in this round, and he continued to start the game without injuries, suspensions and other surprises.
Instead of remaining on the bench, however, Federico Bismara came in for Elamspey at center back.
Players who play defensive back are also generally fine playing center back when they are height and weight qualified.
Also, the center changed to #17 Thomson Milla for his debut, and nothing else changed from the previous round.
The 7th round of the A-League, Hurricanes Athletic's away match against Tandil, started at 19:00 on the evening of September 12th.
It was an away game, so Hurricane Athletic were not in great shape overall and were slow to score.
But with Velarde sweeping, Tandil's offense also struggled to get past the Hurricanes' midfield, into the box, and create a threatening attack. After all, Tandil are relatively poor and are currently ranked at the bottom of the A-League, making it difficult to win.
Even though Tandil already knew what Velarde was capable of through the last game and was already careful to avoid him when attacking, he still couldn't help but be affected by his offensive efficiency.
Throughout the first half, while Velarde only contributed two direct steals, there were an abundance of slowed down drives, or dropped passes, or abandoned drives to revert back to passes because of his defensive jams.
If the Hurricanes hadn't also failed to capitalize on their chances, maybe Tandil would have conceded several goals.
But coaches like Mario Binko off the field, and professional commentators in the commentary booth, could see the role of Velarde.
As the commentators praised:
"It was only the second start of his career, but Velarde played like a battle-tested veteran, very poised and defensively sound, neutralizing most of the Tandem's attacks."
"Whether it was a frontal block or a jam prevention, Villard did a pretty good job of making it quite difficult for the Tandem offense once they got to the midfield to get a smooth pass upfield to form a shot."
"Even if Tandil intentionally avoids Velarde and sends the ball into the box through the side, it will be difficult for Tandil to grab the first point to form a goal against the Hurricanes' three center back system and a returning Velarde."
"And inverted triangle passes or ribbed diagonal passes and the like are even harder to get a halfway decent look at Velarde."
"The awareness, physicality, defensive ability, mental qualities and so on that Velarde has shown have indeed gone far beyond the B-League, reaching the point of A-League defensive stars, second to none in the A-League, and becoming a mountain that makes it difficult for opposing attacking players to climb over."
"There's no doubt that Alan Velarde has been the biggest discovery of the A-League this season so far."
"He has a promising future ahead of him."
In a girl's dorm room at the National Academy of Fine Arts in Argentina, the three of them, Kristina and Alisa, were also watching the webcast of the game through their computers. As for another roommate, Lorelle Molly, she had already gone out on a date with her boyfriend.
Every time they saw Velarde prancing from side to side, neutralizing Tandil's attacks and being touted by the commentators, Alisa, who had become Velarde's girlfriend, along with Kristina and Bertha, the three of them would applaud and cheer together for Velarde's wonderful performance.
