As the smoke from the first three rounds of the Copa Libertadores passed, with the exception of the Argentine team, the other South American strongmen could not help but sigh: Leon Weir is indeed a genius.

Best shooter in South America!
A midfielder?
It has blinded the eyes of so many football experts! In modern football, midfielders are given the responsibility to defend and attack consecutively, but Leon Weir has proved to the world in a Copa Libertadores game that who says midfielders can't score?

In the first round of the Copa Libertadores, River Plate faced a challenge from Mexican giants the Blue Cross at the Monument Stadium on home soil.Leon Weir took the lead to knock on the opponent's door with a free kick in the 13th minute of the game. !
After losing the ball, Mexico launched a fierce counter-attack. They were runners-up to last year's Copa Libertadores. Mexican football has always paid close attention to overall and cooperation, and the Blue Cross is no exception. Main anti-customer.. .
Just when the situation in the River Plate team fell into a passive position, in the 41st minute of the first half, Leon Weir got up again, this time he entered from the middle, Esteban Cambia. The beautiful straight bait sent by Suo, the excellent cooperation between the golden partners in the Ajia arena, made the position of the Blue Cross fall again!
After hitting a defender, Leon Weir kicked the ball to finish his second goal of the game!
In the end, with Leonwell's two goals, River Plate laughed last in a strong dialogue with Blue Cross.
After the game, people also use your savior title to describe Leon Weir's outstanding performance in the game.
If it is said that only Argentina really recognized Leon Weir before, then now, South American opponents should pay more attention to this 18-year-old genius.
...
River Plate's second opponent in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores, Paraguay National, clearly learned the lesson from the Blue Cross defeat. At home to the Paraguay national team, River Plate was in a passive position...
Only in the second half did they take the lead thanks to Leon Weir's consecutive breakaways in the middle!
The Paraguayan stayed the entire game, but missed Leon Weir's only chance.
But this was the only chance to help River Plate win two consecutive games in the Copa Libertadores group stage Leon Weir organised three team goals in two games!
On his return to Argentina, the Argentine fans were also happy to welcome their son, Leon Weir.
"Gol worth a thousand dollars! Leonwell saved the riverbed again and again!" - "Ole News" also gave such a slogan after the riverbed returned to China.
If the Blue Cross and Nations are the touchstone, then River Plate's third-round group stage opponent, Huanjoca from Peru, is a living tragedy...
Wanjoka who had previously lost two games in a row was a guest at Tugu, At Tugu Stadium, they were hit by a storm from River Plate...
Leonwell helped Dalisandro to score in the fifth minute of the match.Ten minutes later, Nano received a breakthrough pass from Cambiasso to form a goal for the team to lead 2-0...
Before half-time was over, Leonwell took advantage of the set-piece chances earned through a big break head and scored a free-kick!
It was his second Copa Libertadores goal of the season and his fourth in three group games!
With this goal, Leonwell also pressed the South American shooter below him and pushed himself to the top of the goalscoring list!
In the end, River Plate's side picked up three straight wins in the group stage and were just a step away from qualifying...
At least they have laid the groundwork for their league campaign as the Spring League is about to begin.
Compared to the smooth flow of the river, Boca Juniors faced stubborn resistance in the Copa Libertadores. As defending champions, their glory was nonexistent, and Riquelme's condition in the game was average...
Fortunately, teenager Tevez has repeatedly chalked up outstanding achievements in Boca to rank second in the group.
After the first three rounds of the Copa Libertadores, the South American powerhouse also felt a strong shock brought by Leon Weir, Argentina's first genius.
Dunga famously said in Brazil: "It's difficult for you to specifically mark him, he has a good free-kick and long-range shot, and don't forget that he plays a midfielder, he plays a midfielder, You can make a targeted arrangement for the opposing striker, but prepare the opponent's lower back? It's too hard, and the effect won't be good."
Legendary Colombian goalkeeper Higuita also said: "This kid definitely has high free-kick talent! How many people in the world can kick a free kick well by the age of 18?"
But Leon's crazy performance in the Copa Libertadores has people convinced, this kid is really a genius!
The European giant's action has finally begun!
The team that first made an offer to River Plate was La Liga giants Barcelona, their godfather Cruyff said in public: "We look forward to seeing Leon Weir wearing our shirt next season."
When asked about Riquelme, Cruyff kept his mouth shut.
The outside world has also speculated that if Barcelona succeed in introducing Leon Weir, the famous Argentine genius, then they will definitely give up the acquisition of Riquelme.
Of course, if Leon Weir guessed wrongly here, then Barcelona would immediately turn around and introduce Riquelme.
The reason why Cruyff kept his mouth shut about Riquelme was to leave room for future negotiations... If we say we only want Leon Weir now, if we say too much, for Barcelona, it's not a good thing for Boca.
Apart from Barcelona, Italian president Inter Milan Moratti said in public that after listening to the advice of captain Javier Zanetti, he was eager to get the recent River Plate hot talent!
Inter Milan and Barcelona, the two giants of football both attacked Leon Weir!
Of course, these are just two giants on the bright side ...
Viola Fiorentina of Serie A also expressed a strong interest in Leon Weir! And say that they will do their best in the team's tolerance.
Another La Liga giant, Real Madrid, also expanded the olive branch to Leon Weir, and Florentino expressed his attitude to the outside world: "We need a potential stake like Leon Weir!"
Not to mention the open and secret rivalry between the European giants, supposedly after three Copa Libertadores group games, Leon Weir has reached the top of the level of a top professional player.
He was now looking to the top second level pro! It was Leon Weir's goal to enter the stars as quickly as possible, because only then could he have the strength to actually sit down and negotiate fairly with the great giants of Europe!

In February, with the opening of the Spring League, the River Plate team also started the first three-week games of the season.
In the first round of the league, the fall league champions, River Plate, showed their strong strength, with a 3-0 scoreline at home to Sarsfield.
In this match, Leon Weir opened fire and contributed. Counting on goals in his previous three Copa Libertadores, Leon Weir has scored five goals in four games, and as a defensive midfielder, he has played in four consecutive matches. A goal.. That's really an astounding statistic.
In the fourth round of the Copa Libertadores, River Plate defeated Wanjoca 1-0 on the road. Leon stopped the pace of his successive goals, but on the road, with his assist helping Dalisandro snatch the ball.
The River Plate team, who have picked up four wins in a row, also qualified for the group two rounds ahead of schedule, allowing them to concentrate a bit on the domestic league.
However, in the second half of the match, the River Plate team, who returned by plane, was still exhausted, losing 2-0 to the National Glory Independent Team... They suffered their first defeat of the new season.
Leon was replaced at the beginning of the game. Maybe because the game days cost too much genius passion. After the game, the Argentine media went forward to defend Leon: "We have to let him rest! He was only eighteen years old. ! Such a game was too often for him!"
Argentine media have also criticised the competition system this season. Because there is a World Cup in the summer, the spring league is too congested. This isn't enough. Most importantly the River Plate team will also play the Copa Libertadores .
Fortunately, in the next two group games, River Plate can send a substitute to fight.
In the third round of the Spring League, the River Plate team regained the feeling. They beat Rosario Central who attacked 2-1 at home. Leon had a very good performance in this match. The attack was menacing, and in the 70th minute of the second half, Cambiasso scored to seal the win.
So far this season, Leon Weir has started seven games for River Plate, where he has scored five goals and provided three assists.
In the fourth round of the Spring League, River Plate's good form continued. They beat the Argentine youth 1-0 away. Leon Weir helped Dali Sandro and scored the only goal of the game.
In the fifth round of the Copa Libertadores, River Plate played with all substitutes, drew with the Paraguayan nation 0-0, and relied on substitute efforts to seal first place in the group first.
In the fifth round of the Spring League, the good state of River Plate came to an end. They were tied 0-0 at home by Newell's Old Boys. Leon played well throughout the game, but his team-mates wasted too many chances.
In the final round of the Copa Libertadores, substitute River Plate once again earned the Blue Cross, so the South American Copa Libertadores group stage match of the River Plate team ended. First, Blue Cross and River Plate teams qualify for the second round.
And Leon Weir continues to be ranked first top scorer of the Copa Libertadores with four goals! The young Argentine midfielder has now been recognised by most South American fans.
The grueling February is finally over, and the River Plate team schedule will be much looser in March.
After the Copa Libertadores group stage was completed, opponents from River Plate's last 16 were also drawn.
