Midfielder Ruler

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

Everyone at the scene was surprised by Tang Zheng's remarks, including the head coach Simeone. He always thought that he was already crazy enough, but what he didn't expect was that Tang Zheng would come out of nowhere...

Of course, Falcao, Bonannot, and Musacchio are exceptions. They have already had this goal, but they didn’t say it out, and they planned to make a fortune silently.

After a short period of buffering, the reporters also came to their senses. Many of them sneered, full of disdain for Tang Zheng's remarks, and even sarcasm.

But Tang Zheng ignored these reporters, but turned a corner with the help of the airport security personnel, followed the large troops ahead, and boarded the bus back to the club.

"Tang, is what you said true?" Poncio, who was sitting by the window in the fourth row of the bus, turned his head and asked Tang Zheng in the back seat.

"Ah?" Tang Zheng took off his earphones and asked, "What did you tell me just now?"

"He said...is what you said in the interview with the reporter just now true?" Falcao, who was sitting next to Tang Zheng, blinked and winked and said, "Actually, I really want to know too."

"You?" Tang Zheng glanced at Poncio and Falcao respectively: "Which sentence are you referring to?"

"Damn it, are you trying to fool the reporters?" Poncio in the front seat rolled his eyes.

"NONONO." Tang Zheng turned his head and glanced at the quickly receding figure outside the window, shook his head and said seriously: "The words behind are all true."

"Which sentence?" Falcao said like a schemer.

"My goal is to win the league and the Copa Libertadores." Tang Zheng glanced at Falcao meaningfully: "You will not forget what we said when you returned to the team, right?"

"I thought you were bragging..." Falcao shrugged his shoulders to hide his shock.

The Copa Libertadores has a certain chance, the league is a long season...

really can?

"Oh-My-God!!" At this moment, Poncio reacted, and his voice suddenly rose an octave, so that the teammates of the whole bus looked over and exclaimed: "Do you really want to be in this place?" To win the league and Copa Libertadores this season?"

"certainly.

"Tang Zheng looked at his partner Ponceo with an idiot's eyes, and then said a classic quote from "Shaolin Soccer": "If life has no goal, how is it different from a salted fish?" "

The reason why dreams are replaced by goals is because the league and the Libertadores Cup are not enough to become Tang Zheng's dreams.

The reason is that the grade is too low.

But what Tang Zheng didn't expect was that the speaker had no intention of listening, and the target and the salted fish happened to be a huge contrast.

A life without goals is like a salted fish!

None of them hoped that their life would be like a salted fish, so they all secretly encouraged themselves, and they must sweep away the haze of the past in the next game and regain their strength.

Tang Zheng patted Poncio's shoulders in front of him twice: "I never like to talk big, so I will use 200% of my strength to realize it."

Having said that, he glanced at Falcao and Poncio again, then deliberately lowered his voice and said to Falcao: "I hope to be the pride of River Plate for a long time to come."

Suddenly, Falcao remembered what Tang Zheng said back then. He seemed to have made up his mind, nodded and said, "Okay, let us be the pride of Riverbed together!"

"Me too!" Musacchio in the back row was excited when he heard it.

"Post-nineties, go away." Tang Zheng mercilessly put on the earphones again and closed his eyes.

"..."

The next day, Tang Zheng once again made the headlines of the major media newspapers in Argentina, and as time passed, he even made the headlines of sports entity newspapers in other South American countries.

The "Ole Newspaper", which has always been at odds with Tang Zheng, laughed at Tang Zheng's whimsy. The background picture of the headline was the scene where Tang Zheng was sent off with a red card in the River Plate game against Cruzeiro. The text said: "If you say that Diego Simeone's latest The tactical system is a goal that can be achieved, so the interview that Tang received yesterday afternoon is absolutely unconscionable and completely groundless! A double crown of league champions and Copa Libertadores champions? Hehe... We admit that River Plate won two league championships Competitive, but let's not forget that they lost Oscar, Ahumada and Alexis Sanchez, the competitiveness has dropped by at least a notch."

"Excuse me? In this situation, can you still be compared with the powerful Boca Juniors? The past home draw with Cologne and the disastrous defeat to Cruzeiro by River Plate are the best evidence! Just rely on the fighting power shown so far to win the double crown , Don’t you take other teams too seriously?”

The remarks of "Ole Newspaper" undoubtedly pushed Tang Zheng to the forefront and became the thorn in everyone's eyes.

If Tang Zheng had a certain chance of winning the double before River Plate announced his goal, then with the revelation of "Ole Newspaper", Tang Zheng has become the focus of all teams.

Want to step on our shoulders as champions?

Don't even think about it!

Especially the powerful South American giants, laughed at Tang Zheng's remarks, and the young Cruzeiro head coach Andilson Batista, who beat River Plate at home, was interviewed by "Globe" Time said: "Young people should be low-key and self-aware, and don't put unrealistic goals on the table, otherwise the only one who will be hurt is yourself!"

The midfielder Ramirez, who performed well in the first round of the Copa Libertadores, said bluntly in an interview with the media: "I don't know where he (Don) got his confidence, but what I want to say is that the person who lost the game and was sent off by the red card did not speak. right,"

Boca Juniors veteran Palermo said in an interview with the "Ole" reporter: "It is good for young people to have goals, but the goals must be set more realistically. It is impossible for subjective consciousness to change objective facts."

Even the Argentine head coach Maradona, who is currently inspecting the players, came out to criticize Tang Zheng: "Even when I was young, I didn't dare to say such a remark. I really don't know where he (Tang Zheng) got his confidence. "

Of course, Maradona has a certain selfishness in saying this. He who once played for Boca Juniors must seize the rare opportunity to attack his rivals: "River Plate is a great club, but some young players have too ambitious goals. Even beyond the actual pursuit of this club."

Tang Zheng had speculated about the reaction of the outside world, but he did not expect it to be so violent, even the football king Maradona joined in.

However, with ironic celebrities, coaches and media, there will naturally be support.

"The Horn" supported Tang Zheng in the report and supported River Plate's goals for the new season: "What is the biggest advantage of being young? It is not failing! It is commendable for Tang to be able to set this goal when he is only nineteen years old." , as media workers, we should promote positive energy instead of grandstanding, suppression, and cynicism like some media, which are anti-football development..."

In an interview with the media, River Plate star Di Stefano publicly said: "The fundamental driving force behind our human development is ambition! Why does Tang become the object of ridicule when he has a goal to strive for? I don't understand, probably... These people have water in their heads."

In addition, Valdano, who had conflicts with Maradona, also stood up to support Tang Zheng: "Since River Plate is a great club, why can't they have a great goal? You must know that they have been away from the Copa Libertadores championship for a whole year." Thirteen years, it's time to put it (Libertadores Cup) in the memorial hall of the Monument Stadium..."

The remarks about Tang Zheng did not weaken with the passage of time, because River Plate ushered in the second round of the autumn league, and they challenged Rosario Central away.

This game is of great significance to Tang Zheng personally, because the first game of his career was an away game against Rosario Central.

The visiting team's locker room before the start of the game.

Coach Simeone incited the emotions of the players: "...We are a great team! We were the league champions last season and last season! We have no reason to lose points in the away game, we must win the opponent! There is no problem?"

"No problem!" Eleven players shouted in unison.

Immediately, the players filed out of the locker room and came to the player tunnel, waiting for the start of the game.

"Don."

Tang Zheng lowered his head and tied his trousers while walking outside, but at this moment, the head coach Simeone called him.

So he turned to Simeone: "What's the matter, boss?"

Simeone shrugged his shoulders, put his right hand on Tang Zheng's shoulder, and patted affectionately twice: "Don't be nervous, just play according to the usual rhythm, I believe you can do it, besides... I will take care of everything." Go!"

It turned out that Simeone came to do ideological work.

"Don't worry, boss." Tang Zheng said gratefully, "I will definitely behave well."

"Don't play with pressure, the league...is a long season, we can afford it." Simeone said seriously.

Although Simeone said so, Tang Zheng did not relax his vigilance, but deliberately put more pressure on himself.

as predicted!

Tang Zheng, who was under pressure, performed well. In the fourth minute of the game, he took advantage of the left-back Ferrari's cross and headed it into the goal, helping River Plate open the scoring in the away game.

Abel Claudio, the narrator in the live commentary, shouted excitedly: "Beautiful! This is Tang's counterattack! The sluggish performance in the past is only because his state has not been adjusted properly. Have those media and celebrities who questioned him seen it? ? This is the real Don!"

Simeone, who was pacing on the sidelines, raised his arms and shouted because of Tang Zheng's goal. He knew that this was the Tang Zheng he most wanted to see!

Next, Tang Zheng helped River Plate turn away from the midfielder and occupied possession of the ball for a long time.

Before the end of the first half, Tang Zheng's precise long pass found Falcao who had slanted into the right side of the penalty area. The latter made no adjustments and directly hit the goal. The football rubbed against the far post and rolled into the goal.

In the second half, he changed sides and fought again. Tang Zheng, who gradually adapted to the core position of the latest tactical system, played more steadily. His scheduling and organization made River Plate's offense look more layered, and he would greet the frontcourt immediately after losing the ball. The teammates fought back on the spot together.

Immediately after losing the ball, he fought back on the spot, which also allowed Simeone to see the future development direction of the team, that is, to find a solution to the problems caused by Tang Zheng's forward position.

In the end, River Plate, who was a guest, beat Rosario Central 3-0 and won the first victory of the new season. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
