Chapter 122 Fatal Mistake

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

Boca Juniors head coach Ischia realized that this situation could not continue, otherwise the team would be doomed, because Tang Zheng's state in this game was really amazing, no matter whether it was offense or defense, he had him. The figure of this side, and our attack has not had any effect so far.

Just now Riquelme managed to pass a very penetrating through ball, but in the end it was cleared by the running back Tang Zheng, heartbroken!

One goal behind even made him think of the game he lost at home in the autumn league in the first half of the year.

1:3

There is no doubt that it is a great shame in the history of Boca!

The biggest reason for Boca's loss in that game was that they underestimated Tang Zheng, so that the team was defeated at home.

After five months, it was Tang Zheng again!

Before the game, he fully instructed the players to pay attention to restricting Tang Zheng, and to consciously bypass Tang Zheng during the attack to increase the success rate.

However, Tang Zheng unexpectedly showed his best game state this season.

damn it!

Could it be... is he the nemesis of Boca's hit?

What's interesting is that Mauricio Macri, the chairman of Boca Juniors, was sitting in the VIP seat with a livid face, and next to him was the sports director Simon who didn't dare to take a breath.

When River Plate scored a goal just now, River Plate chairman Aguilar jumped from his seat regardless of his identity and raised his arms and shouted. He didn't look like a noble club chairman at all.

But everyone in the VIP seats knew that this was just Aguilar trying to give Mauricio Macri a little face.

Who told Boca Youth to throw out Tang Zheng's rough jade in person?

This is also the fundamental reason why Boca Juniors sports director Simon dare not take a breath.

At this moment, deafening shouts erupted again from the sky above the Monument Stadium.

Through the slow-motion playback, it turns out that... Tang Zheng just overwhelmed Paletta to head the ball towards the goal in River Plate's corner kick. Goalkeeper Juan Garcia even surrendered without moving, but the goal post of the Monument Stadium helped As soon as they hit the crossbar, the football hit the crossbar and was pushed out of the bottom line by Casseles, who responded in a timely manner.

River Plate chairman Aguilar, who was full of desire, held his head in his hands in pain, with a look of regret.

The face of Mauricio Macri, the chairman of Boca Juniors sitting next to him, turned into a liver color...

※※※

Tang Zheng, who missed the goal, expressed regret. In the camera, he was pulling his hair with both hands, and there was a trace of pain between his brows.

As a midfielder, how difficult it is to score goals...

More importantly, the goal in this game is related to whether he can participate in the Asian Youth Championship in Saudi Arabia at the beginning of next month. He is anxious!

Three minutes later, Tang Zheng once again scrambled for the football in a free kick attack by his side.

It is a pity that the football flew out of the baseline and hit the billboard behind the goal.

"What a pity!"

TYC sports TV commentator Abel Claudio felt sorry for Tang Zheng.

Seeing that Tang Zheng missed the goal again, Simeone had a premonition that Tang Zheng might score two goals in this game and lead the team to victory.

Previously, he had calculated that if Tang Zheng went to Saudi Arabia to participate in the Asian Youth Championship, he would miss at least five league games, accounting for 1/4 of the league.

However, if he wins this game, Tang Zheng's loss of absence from the league will be minimized. After all, the biggest competitor in the league is Boca Juniors.

During the period when Tang Zheng was active, Boca Juniors head coach Ischia stood on the sidelines and frequently loudly reminded the players to concentrate on the game. Coupled with the recovery of goalkeeper Juan Garcia, he was able to keep the goal. lose.

In a blink of an eye, the game came to the end of the first half.

The offensive of the river plate remained unabated, and Sanchez and Bonannot made full use of their small and fast characteristics on the wing to stir up Boca Juniors.

It is a pity that striker Falcao's game state today does not seem to be outstanding, otherwise River Plate will enter the locker room with at least two goals before halftime.

"Control control! Let this score enter the halftime break!" Simeone stood on the sidelines, pressing his hands down, and reminded loudly.

Ortega, who originally wanted to attack, didn't hesitate, pulled the ball back, and passed it to Tang Zheng, who was in the 35-meter attack area, and he would control the rhythm of the game for the rest of the first half.

In fact, Tang Zheng still wanted to change the direction of attack with the ball, but after seeing the serious expression of the head coach Simeone, he gave up this idea, turned the ball around, and passed the ball to his friend Musacchio who was gradually gaining game time.

And he also returned to a deeper position, which is currently the most popular midfielder position in international football, between the two central defenders.

The referee saw that the players on both sides did not have a strong desire to attack, so he decisively blew his whistle at the 45th minute of the game.

※※※

Players from both sides walked to the player tunnel respectively. According to the usual practice, the on-site director should scan the camera one after another on the players who performed well in the first half.

What is surprising is that when the camera was shown on Tang Zheng, his expression did not have the joy from the heart of other teammates, but a slight frown, and he lowered his head to communicate with Sanchez and Falcao.

It seems that the riverbed is behind.

In Tang Zheng's heart, if the corner kick in the first half can seize the opportunity, then he only needs to focus on defense in the second half, and then the task can be completed...

such a pity!

All the way to the locker room, Tang Zheng dragged Sanchez, Bonannot and Falcao together to discuss how to cooperate to score goals in the second half. After all, the opponent is Boca Juniors, so it should not be underestimated.

※※※

The 15-minute midfield adjustment time passed quickly, and the two sides changed sides to fight again in the second half.

Neither Simeone nor Ischia made adjustments to the players on the field, and they seemed to be satisfied with the performance of the players on the field.

However, the tactical play of both sides is different compared to the first half. The home team is more inclined to control the game, while the visiting team has strengthened the high position in the frontcourt to prevent the home team from easily organizing an effective attack. Even the defense has not been very active. Riquelme's rare active defense.

Simeone realized that Boca Juniors had strengthened the high-position press, so he ran to the sidelines to remind the players to play the ball quickly and use the pass to consume the opponent's physical energy.

Because River Plate's frontcourt is a combination of small and quick spirits, if they choose to make a direct long pass in the face of Boca's high-position press, it is tantamount to handing over the control of football to Boca.

So Simeone asked the players to play the ball quickly. He didn't believe that Boca Juniors' high-position pressing could last for too long.

At the same time, he also asked Tang Zheng to increase the range of running, connecting the team's midfield and midfield.

The cheers in the stands are still loud, and they hope that the team they support can score another goal and seal the victory.

It's very exciting to think about double-killing the enemy Boca at home and away.

Tang Zheng returned to the center line again to catch the ball and organize the team's attack. Gaitan, who was close to this side, immediately rushed over without thinking, trying to steal the ball.

However, with one end of Tang Zheng's arch, the football was kicked back to central defender Cabral, and at the same time the position was pulled deeper, almost at the same level as Cabral holding the ball.

What made Tang Zheng speechless was that Gaitan didn't assist Palacio to press Cabral, but instead kept getting stuck in the route where Cabral passed the ball to him.

What kind of hatred is this?

In fact, this situation has lasted for most of the time, as long as Tang Zheng is in Gaitan's coverage area, then he will restrict Tang Zheng without hesitation.

This time Tang Zheng's way of getting rid of it was the same as before. He took an exaggerated step back with his left leg and at the same time leaned forward with his upper body. It gave Gaitan the feeling that Tang Zheng was going to a deeper position in the formation to catch the ball and link up the midfield. .

Gaitan, a good offensive player, is a rookie defensive player, he was tricked by Tang Zheng into running two steps forward.

Next, Tang Zheng completed a 180-degree turn and ran in the opposite direction of Gaitan. Cabral made a sneaky pass in a small straight line. During the run, Tang Zheng took a step with his long legs and stopped the ball under his feet. .

It was too late when Gaitan realized that he was once again deceived by Tang Zheng's fake action, because Tang Zheng had already stepped across the center line, and the team's formation moved forward as a whole.

The frontcourt made continuous passes, and Falcao finally completed the shot from the penalty area line, but the shot was a little bit straight, and was held in the arms of goalkeeper Juan Garcia.

About 15 minutes into the second half, Boca Juniors, who was a guest, took the lead in making personnel adjustments, replacing the ineffective veteran Palermo with Ledesma, and then put Gaitan on the front line to partner with Palacio , and always maintained their usual 442 formation.

River Plate, who had been gaining momentum without scoring, became a little anxious, especially Tang Zheng. As time passed, and the time for the whole game was less than half an hour, he pushed forward even more.

For the riverbed as a whole, this is not a good phenomenon...

Of course, Simeone was also aware of this, but he didn't ask Tang Zheng to retreat, but stood on the sidelines to observe.

Anyway, the team doesn't have a good way to attack now, so it's better to let Tang Zheng try his luck.

"—Don, Zhisai!"

As soon as the commentator Abel Claudio's voice fell, Paletta predicted in advance and stretched out his foot to block the ball passed by Tang Zheng to Falcao.

It's over!

River Plate switched from offense to defense, and the frontcourt players countered on the spot.

But the Boca players have long been mentally prepared, and the Argentine players' foot skills are generally excellent, and the football quickly passed to Riquelme's feet.

Tang Zheng's position was too far ahead, and the heavy responsibility of defending Riquelme fell to Poncio who was dragging behind.

But Riquelme didn't wait for Poncio to be in position, and directly passed a penetrating through ball from the arc of the center circle of his own side, which almost penetrated the entire defense line of the river plate.

The football rolled towards Boca to attack the left at high speed. Ledesma, who had just come on in the second half, jumped in at a high speed. Facing Cabral who came over in a hurry, Ledesma stopped suddenly and chose to go inside, and then passed to the back Plug in the striker Palacio.

Musacchio is physically strong and sticks his body to Palacio to prevent the opponent from picking up the speed.

However, Palacio just feinted and the ball slipped past his feet, and Gaitan, who came in behind, took the ball and cut into the penalty area.

Even though Musacchio is fast and defensively aware, he dare not foul in the penalty area.

Gaitan also took a fancy to Musacchio, who only played in the first team this season. He swung his right foot and hit the goal while running. Musacchio, who lied to him, blocked the ball sideways and dunked the ball. He came back, and then adjusted his left foot to hit the goal with a slight adjustment, and kicked a ball sticking to the ground.

The football rolled to the far corner, Juan Ojeda fell sideways and stretched his whole body, but there was still a certain distance between his fingertips and the football...

Eventually, the football rolled into the goal against the far goal post.

Boca Juniors took advantage of a quick counterattack to equalize the score!
