Chapter 120 Goal: 2 goals and victory in the national derby

Remember【】in a second, providing you with wonderful novels to read.

After walking out of the head coach's office, Tang Zheng slapped his forehead twice with his right hand. He was really impulsive just now.

It may not be difficult to score two goals, but the problem is that the next league will face the deadly enemy Boca Juniors. They are the top giants in Argentina and even South America. In addition, he performed well in the national derby last season. Anyone who thinks about it can guess that Boca Juniors' defenders will strengthen their defense.

It's hard to score goals!

It is extremely difficult to score two goals!

Almost an impossible task!

But Tang Zheng never complained about others, what a man said was like splashing water.

Now that it has been said, it must be done!

Because two goals are required for coach Simeone to let him participate in the U19 Asian Youth Championship in Saudi Arabia, so no matter what, he must score two goals in the next game against Boca Juniors.

The so-called one hero with three gangs, it is impossible for Tang Zheng to rely on his own ability to score two goals, he is not a striker, nor does he have such good skills.

If you want to score goals, you must ventilate with your friends Bonannot, Sanchez and Falcao.

But now Sanchez and Falcao are following the national team to participate in the South American World Cup qualifiers in South Africa. There must be no way to be distracted. We can only wait for them to come back and make plans.

So, Tang Zheng found Bonannot who was still training at the training ground...

"Ah? You made a bet that you will score two goals in the next national derby?" Bonannot rolled his eyes after hearing Tang Zheng's words, and blurted out: "Are you crazy?"

"I don't care, anyway, I've made a bet with you, you are my good friend, you must help me!"

Tang Zheng spread his hands, and then played the emotional card with his arms around Bonannot's shoulders.

"Okay." Bonannot's knife-mouthed bean curd heart: "I will try my best!"

For River Plate, this international match day is much better than the last international match day. The striker Falcao is very healthy, and the mental and competitive state of Chilean winger Sanchez is also maintained. That is to say, the country that will play at home next Derby has a play.

For the Argentine Clasico,

The Argentine domestic media has long been waiting for the game to come.

Before the game, there was a normal war of words between fans and players.

Tang Zheng was the man of the match in the national derby in the autumn league last season, so he naturally became the focus of most attention of Boca players and fans.

Because Tang Zheng caused Banega, who had already moved to Valencia, to be sent off with a red card in that Clasico, this is an unforgettable event for Boca fans.

Now Tang Zheng is the main force of River Plate, responsible for the team's defense and transition between offense and defense, so Boca fans put the breakthrough point on Tang Zheng, who is under nineteen years old.

They don't think that an eighteen-year-old kid can have such a strong psychological quality...

"Don, are you really not joking?"

Sanchez and Falcao looked at each other, then looked at Tang Zheng and said in unison.

Tang Zheng was very speechless, he just mentioned that he hoped that Falcao and Sanchez would help in the national derby match, as for such a big reaction?

And... Do you want to be so tacit?

"Of course I'm not joking!" Tang Zheng coughed lightly, and said seriously, "In a word, to help or not to help?"

Seeing Tang Zheng's serious expression, Falcao didn't ask him why he insisted on scoring two goals, but sighed and said, "Okay, I'll try my best."

Now that Falcao has made his statement, only Sanchez is left, so Tang Zheng patted Sanchez on the shoulder meaningfully: "What about you?"

Sanchez glanced at Tang Zheng, looking speechless, is there any other choice?

"Ditto."

"Brothers!"

In the next two days of preparation training, Tang Zheng increased the depth of his forward pressure to participate in the attack.

Assistant coach Jorge Gortillo quickly realized this, and turned his head to Simeone, who was watching the game, and said: "Diego, you said that Don frequently participates in the team's offense, is it not good?"

The unspoken meaning is whether to remind Tang Zheng, because the next league opponent is Boca Juniors, an opponent that should not be underestimated, and he should stick to it.

"It's okay." Simeone grinned lightly: "I want to see if Tang's national derby will be the same as training."

Simeone has always believed that Tang Zheng has a strong offensive attribute, which must be stimulated by major competitions.

Wait until next year's Libertadores Cup, I believe the team will go further!

※※※

During the routine press conference the day before the game, head coach Simeone unexpectedly brought Tang Zheng to the scene.

Tang Zheng can be said to be the biggest discovery of River Plate last season, and now he has become the unstoppable main force of River Plate. Coincidentally, Tang Zheng was Boca Juniors in the battle of fame last season, so everyone's focus is on Tang Zheng.

Of course, the biggest reason is that Tang Zheng is very young and has not received many interviews with reporters, so it is easier to get words out of his mouth.

But they obviously underestimated Tang Zheng's city mansion, he was always able to easily dodge reporters' traps, just like an experienced news officer,

During the whole interview process, Tang Zheng always insisted on one point - the goal is to win and beat Boca!

In the end, to Tang Zheng's surprise, the head coach Simeone actually buried a hole for him.

Simeone mentioned Tang Zheng in an interview with reporters, saying that he would continue to score goals on Boca in front of the whole team and help the team win the game.

Suddenly, Tang Zheng became the focus of reporters' attention again.

You must know that Tang Zheng's position on the court is the midfielder, it doesn't mean that he can score goals if he wants to.

Taking a step back, even if he wants to score, the problem is that River Plate's next opponent is Boca Juniors.

Doesn't the underlying meaning of these words mean that Tang Zheng regards Boca Juniors' defense line as a tofu project?

Tang Zheng glanced at the head coach who was buried in the pit and the reporter who kept pressing the flashlight with a wry smile on his face. He felt like he was about to explode!

But now, he can't be cowardly, can he?

So, Tang Zheng showed a smile uglier than crying and nodded in agreement with the words of head coach Simeone...

※※※

Reporters are one of the most fact-distorting professions on this planet. They slightly modified the original words of Tang Zheng and Simeone and passed them to the ears of Boca Juniors coach Ischia and captain Riquelme.

Even a player with a good temper like Riquelme frowned and said displeasedly: "He (Don) wants to score? Are you kidding?"

The head coach Ischia even blew his beard and stared angrily: "I will let those who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth know that everything said before the game is bullshit."

Afterwards, Battaglia, Paletta, and goalkeeper Juan Garcia, who were staying at the hotel, were interviewed by reporters respectively. They were very angry at Tang Zheng's practice of "predicting" the goal in advance, and said that tomorrow's game To teach Tang Zheng how to behave.

Even Banega, who moved to Valencia, criticized Tang Zheng's remarks on the Internet, saying that he didn't know how to respect his opponent.

However, it is very comfortable to hear these words in the ears of River Plate fans.

Clasico, what is the most important thing?

It's momentum!

Being timid before a fight is a big taboo in competitions!

So River Plate fans supported Tang Zheng.

And River Plate players also supported Tang Zheng when they were staying at the hotel for an interview. Captain Ortega said: "What is the game for? Isn't it why we win? What is the first thing to do in victory? Goals!"

As a good friend, Falcao's words were even sharper: "What's wrong with scoring goals? I'll say it here! Don't only score goals, I will too!"

Therefore, the new round of the national derby at the Monument Stadium was very hot, and there was a situation of people turning their backs on their backs from the first second of the game.

However, the referee on duty did not show a yellow card warning, but pulled the offending player to give a verbal warning.

Perhaps the referee's whistle is soft, and the movements of the players on both sides have a growing trend.

The fans of the home team in the stands are even more afraid that the world will not be chaotic. As long as there is physical contact between the two sides, there will be a huge momentum, especially when Boca players foul, they try to interfere with the referee's judgment.

Do they remember how the away fans of Boca in the autumn league last season treated their team.

※※※

The back-and-forth situation lasted until the ninth minute of the game, when the referee on duty showed two consecutive yellow cards before the players on both sides turned their attention back to the game.

The commentator Abel Claudio couldn't help laughing: "The referee Lopez should have shown a yellow card a long time ago. In the final analysis, his whistle was too soft, but he adjusted quickly and knew how to use a yellow card. Tell the offender that he has cards in his trouser pocket!"

The physical contact between the two sides has decreased, the technical content of the game has followed, and the viewing pleasure has also increased.

The chaotic voices erupting from the fans in the stands were also much smaller. They sang the team song under the leadership of the diehard fans.

The players of the home team on the court gradually found their game status, and once suppressed Boca Juniors' defense line in their own 30-meter defensive area.

Tang Zheng assisted Ortega in organizing the offense in the frontcourt, but he did not move forward blindly. Instead, he carried out coach Simeone's tactics and was responsible for arranging the team's offensive direction and transition. The real offense was handed over to Ortega and the team. Falcao, Sanchez and Bonannot complete.

Simeone, who returned to the coach's bench, looked at Tang Zheng running to catch and pass the ball, grinned and murmured: "I didn't expect this boy Tang to be so calm, but... he didn't do anything wrong. Now Boca's There are no obvious loopholes in the defense system, and it is not good to participate in the offense blindly."

Indeed, Tang Zheng really wanted to participate in the attack, but Boca Juniors' defensive position was very good, and the positions between each other were maintained well. On the other hand, their offensive teammates were a bit dead set, and there was no way to organize an effective attack.

So Simeone, who was sitting on the coach's bench, saw that Tang Zheng had to run non-stop to connect the team's offense, otherwise his teammates wouldn't run at all.

It's... the game fatigue that comes with the international break.

But consecutive attacks will always result in a shot. Although Tang Zheng didn't complete the shot, wouldn't it also result in a corner kick?

Tang Zheng is 1.93 meters tall, and his jumping ability and ability to judge the ball's landing are excellent.

It's not that Ortega's corner kick was headed by Tang Zheng, it's just that under Paletta's interference, he didn't get the right spot, and the football was higher than the crossbar.
