Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 137 Is it too much to play?

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

Because Sanchez left too quickly, River Plate has not had time to hold another farewell ceremony to thank Sanchez for his contribution in the spring league. The only compromise choice is to thank and bless Sanchez on the official website.

With the sudden departure of team deputy Ahumada and Sanchez, tactical changes have become urgent for the current River Plate.

In the tactical hall of the River Plate office building, Simeone looked up at the tactical coach Sergi: "Baquero, have the new tactics been formulated?"

"Yeah." Sergi nodded, and handed two bound graphic and text tactical explanation materials to Simeone and Jorge Gortillo respectively.

"Let's talk about it." Simeone reached out to take the information Sergi handed over, and looked down.

"Since we decided to position Don's field as Box-to-box, the tactics must be tilted towards him. It happened that Alexis' return to Udinese gave us a great opportunity. Leonardo's There is no doubt about his defensive ability. His defensive ability in the midfield is only inferior to Tang. There is no problem in letting him play alone, and Tang... We don't need to limit his position on the field, which is what we often call a free man in the frontcourt, but he In our tactical system, the range of activities is greater..."

Sergi opened the first page of the information while talking, and explained in a low voice according to the arrow marks on the full-court map of the formation.

Simeone and Jorge Gortillo sat across from each other and nodded repeatedly, and added a sentence from time to time to make up for the lack of tactics.

The three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang.

"Tang's physical fitness is enough to run in a wide area of ​​the court, which can maximize the difficulty for the opponent to mark him. Therefore, at this time, the two wingers and attacking forwards must shrink back to cooperate with Tang's forward attack. Medal is very critical..."

"The last point is also the most critical point!" Sergi turned to the last page, pointed to the small magnet No. 31 on the full-court map of the formation, and said excitedly: "Don's height and jumping ability are very good, he can definitely Like the captain of the German national team, Michael Ballack, who goes forward into the penalty area to compete for a header, this will not only prevent the lack of positional and wing attacks, but also fully activate Don's scoring ability!"

"Bingo!" Simeone snapped his fingers, nodded and smiled.

Although Sergi's latest tactic has been formulated, it is still just a general idea in the final analysis. If the tactic is to achieve the desired effect, more running-in is required.

The European transfer window is over.

It also means that the 2008-2009 autumn league season is about to kick off.

But before that, River Plate has the last warm-up match, the Revenge Cup of the Summer Cup.

This game once again attracted the attention of the whole of Argentina, because... it was another national derby, and River Plate faced Boca Juniors at the Monumental Stadium.

There will never be a lack of topics in the match between River Plate and Boca Juniors, especially in the last few confrontations, players from both teams will be sent off.

Twelve days ago, the two teams had a confrontation at the Candy Box Stadium. At that time, the game was very hot and full of gunpowder. Domingo and the young Bernardevez spat at each other and were sent off respectively.

When it comes to Bernard Weiss, I have to praise the media's supernatural powers. The Boca trial match two years ago was dug out by them again...

In short, the revenge cup of this friendly match at the Monument Stadium was full of gunpowder.

※※※

Less than ten minutes after the start of the game, two players from both sides received yellow cards, and the scene of turning their backs on their backs appeared almost every half a minute.

The fans at the scene were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, as if they would not give up if they could not see the scene of the gang fight.

In fact, half an hour into the game, there was a big conflict between the two sides of the game.

Gaitan's defense of Tang Zheng caused strong dissatisfaction when Gaitan's defense was too large, and the two escalated from head to head to shoving each other in an instant.

In the end, both of them were sent off.

TYC Sports TV commentator Abel Claudio shook his head and sighed: "The most popular national derby in the world really deserves its reputation. The first half is not over yet, and one player from both sides was sent off. Fans want to see a wonderful football game, right?"

Tang Zheng didn't understand the referee's penalty, so he questioned the referee, but he not only failed to convince the referee, but was warned by a yellow card.

Immediately, there was a burst of wild boos like a tsunami in the stands.

The home fans in the stands express their extreme dissatisfaction with the referee in this way...

Tang Zheng was even more dissatisfied when the referee showed a yellow card.

But he was so excited that he was forcibly pulled away by his partner Ponceo immediately, otherwise River Plate would have to play two fewer players before the first half was over.

At this time, the head coach Simeone standing on the sidelines also pointed to his temples, reminding Tang Zheng victoriously: "Calm down, calm down! You must be calm!"

After a short period of buffering, Tang Zheng gradually calmed down, and then nodded in Simeone's direction.

Simeone was very depressed, Tang Zheng was excellent in all aspects, the only thing was that his ability to control his emotions was not strong, and he often acted recklessly because of impulsiveness.

Just like if Ponceo hadn't reacted in time just now, Tang Zheng would have been sent off for disobeying the referee's decision and getting two yellow cards in a row.

But then again, isn't that what the captain should do?

Bonanault's red card was a non-existent one, and captain Ortega was not good at expressing it in words. Domingo was off the field. When the referee's penalty was unfavorable to his side, he needed someone to stand up and exert pressure.

And this is also the fundamental reason why Tang Zheng was able to gain a foothold in the locker room of the first team.

※※※

In the second half, seeing Simeone's tactical change gesture, Tang Zheng frequently stepped forward to support the frontcourt attack, which made Boca Juniors' defensive midfielders Rosada and Battaglia a headache.

The head coach Ischia standing on the sidelines frowned, obviously not thinking of a way to deal with it.

Because he found that this tactic of River Plate is the latest version, cracking it still requires a process of understanding.

In addition, Tang Zheng's running ability is already excellent, and his body is strong. Now that his foot skills have caught up, he is equivalent to an incomprehensible existence. Moreover, during this period of time, he likes to enter the penalty area and compete for the top pass from the side. Among them, Paletta and Casseles, the central defender combination Alexander.

Paletta and Caseles had already had enough headaches dealing with Falcao, but now there was Tang Zheng, who was over 1.9 meters tall, and Ischia felt that he was getting closer and closer to conceding the goal.

Indeed, Tang Zheng's frequent entry into the restricted area to fight for the top was like a battering ram, again and again.

Finally, at the 63rd minute of the game, Tang Zheng leaped high while running, overwhelming Paletta to head the ball passed by full-back Ferrari into the goal guarded by Argentine national goalkeeper Abendan Sheri.

"Oh-Yes!!" Seeing the goal, the excited Simeone celebrated by high-fiving his assistant Jorge Gortillo and tactical coach Sergi respectively.

Although Tang Zheng has not yet met the minimum requirements of the latest tactical system, the offensive method of inserting into the penalty area and competing for a header has already achieved success.

With his impressive height, astonishing jumping ability, and his accurate judgment of the ball path, his existence is like a fixed scoring weapon...

"—Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

The River Plate fans in the stands were particularly excited, and burst into loud cheers the moment Tang Zheng scored.

They finally took the lead in the game!

※※※

Perhaps it was because Simeone was thinking about preparing for the next autumn league, he replaced Tang Zheng in the 75th minute of the game.

Immediately, the situation on the field changed suddenly.

Fortunately, Simeone has been prepared for a long time, and has targeted arrangements for Boca Juniors' offensive core Riquelme.

So even if the guest Boca Juniors regained their advantage on the field, they still couldn't break through the gate guarded by Daniel Vega.

This situation continued until the end of regular time, when Abelleiras, who had just come off the bench, had to pull Riquelme behind because of a defensive loss.

Riquelme's set-piece skills are world-renowned. Goalkeeper Daniel Vega has nothing to do with Riquelme's ten-corner free kick. All he can do is keep his eyes off the football...

In the end, River Plate drew 1:1 with Boca Juniors at home.

But what is interesting is that the results of these two teams did not attract much attention. On the contrary, the process of the game caused a heated discussion among the media and football experts.

Red and yellow cards flying all over the sky is one of the symbols of the Argentine national derby, and these can only cause simple heated discussions in the media.

It was something else that caught the attention of the media and football pundits - the complete change in River Plate's style of play.

Their tactics have changed from relying more on the rapid counterattack of the combination of side and center to the overall advancement with Tang Zheng as the core of the tactics.

At the regular press conference after the game, Simeone did not deny the targeted questions from reporters, and said bluntly: "Your guess is very accurate. For a long time to come, Tang will be our core. Players, whether it is offense or defense, tactics are formulated around him."

Suddenly, there was an uproar at the press conference.

The tactical core who is only nineteen years old is one of the few in world football.

Therefore, a reporter asked: "Tang is too young, will doing this be a way of spoiling the growth?"

"NONONO!" Simeone was very calm: "If you look at Tang from the perspective of a normal person, it means that your observation skills need to be strengthened."

"..."

Journalists asking questions.

Next, many reporters stood up and questioned Simeone's tactical choice.

So Simeone, who was impatient, said in front of all reporters: "In this case, how about we make a bet?"

"How to bet?"

"Ole" reporter asked.

"If Tang is qualified for the core position in the new season, then you, the media who questioned me so much, should publicly apologize."

Simeone said.

"Then why didn't you adapt?"

"The Nation" reporter said.

"this is impossible!"

Simeone is very sure.

"What if?"

"Chronicle" reporter said.

"Well, if there is a problem, then I will take the blame and resign."

'wow'

There was an uproar at the scene.

The reporters looked at each other in blank dismay, Simeone is... playing too much, right? (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
