Midfielder Ruler

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

Tang Zheng performed well in the away game in the second round of the league. One goal and one assist from him helped River Plate win.

But those reporters who had no bottom line at all did not shift their blame because of this. They believed that Rosario Central was no longer a strong team with the departure of Dalisandro, and River Plate's victory was taken for granted.

But Tang Zheng's ability to play well can only be said that the opponent's ability is limited. Falcao's existence relieves him of a lot of offensive pressure, so that he can sit back and relax most of the time.

In other words, the overall strength of Rosario Central is not as good as that of River Plate, and Tang Zheng's outstanding performance is not convincing.

The questioning of Tang Zheng by the outside media made him very annoyed, so when he was interviewed by the "Clarion", he said bluntly: "In this world, I know that dogs that can bark can't bite people, so they can bark more fiercely. , and I have been vaccinated against rabies, so I am not afraid of them."

Tang Zheng's description was very apt, the fans of River Plate applauded loudly and expressed solidarity at the same time.

But at the same time, the relationship between Tang Zheng and most of the Argentine ontology media became worse and worse.

But Tang Zheng didn't care, anyway, he was planning to slap these low-minded reporters after the end of the season, why bother to flatter them?

River Plate's big win over the weekend lifted them up a few places in the league, from thirteenth to seventh.

Next, River Plate will usher in Banfield at home. This is a team that should not be underestimated this season. They are currently unbeaten. They have two games with River Plate, one win and one draw. Last round, they beat the league favorites One of the La Plata college students had an upset.

But River Plate needs to take into account that there will be a Copa Libertadores group match in the middle of next week, so Simeone still hopes that the team can keep some at home. After all, the league is a long season, and the first round of the Copa Libertadores is a disastrous defeat. Morale must be improved .

Of course, Tang Zheng has no reservations at all, he will show 100% of his strength in any game, especially now that his status has improved, he is the core of the team, and he must play a role model.

During the preparations for the Banfield league game, Simeone was preparing to implement the tactical supplement that occurred in the last round of the away game against Rosario Central-instant counterattack after losing the ball.

However, the on-the-spot counter-grab after losing the ball requires a certain amount of physical support, so strengthening physical training has become a new training program.

So... in the training session of strengthening physical strength,

Most of the River Plate team members seemed to be in extreme pain, even Tang Zheng, who had always had excellent physical fitness, felt a little nervous.

In a blink of an eye, the weekend league came, River Plate played against Banfield at home, and the Monument Stadium was full again.

Perhaps it was the reason for the big away victory in the last round of the league. The home fans created a terrifying home atmosphere early on, hoping to stimulate the home team's competitive state earlier.

During the warm-up before the game, Tang Zheng saw a familiar figure in the crowd of the visiting team Banfield.

That's right, he is the Colombian James Rodriguez who participated in the Boca trial match with Tang Zheng the year before last.

In fact, before the start of this match, Tang Zheng knew that James Rodriguez had been promoted to the first team, because he came off the bench in the first round of Banfield's away game against Godoy Cruz and became a top player in Argentina's top league. The youngest foreign player to play.

At that time, the "Clarion" and several influential media in Argentina had related reports.

"Hey, long time no see, finally promoted to the first team?" Tang Zheng deliberately slowed down after finishing the warm-up, waiting for James Rodriguez.

James Rodriguez's youthful face was full of surprise, but then he looked very excited, and he took the initiative to hug Tang Zheng: "Yes, long time no see."

"Congratulations on becoming the youngest foreign player to play in Argentina's top league." Tang Zheng patted James Rodriguez on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I really look forward to playing against you again."

"Me too." James Rodriguez subconsciously clenched his right fist, and lightly touched Tang Zheng's outstretched right fist.

"I'll wait for you on the field." Tang Zheng rubbed James Rodgris's short hair a few times with his backhand, waved goodbye by the way, and quickly followed Falcao.

James Rodriguez looked at Tang Zheng's tall back and clenched his fists again.

The year before last, they participated in the Boca trial match together, and last year they played against each other in the youth league. Tang Zheng's progress made him feel terrified, so their life trajectories are also developing in different directions. Now Tang Zheng is already the absolute main force of River Plate .

And he has just been promoted from the youth team to the first team, and he played for less than 40 minutes in the two rounds, so he cheered himself up: "If there is a chance, I will definitely seize the opportunity and beat you!"

Simeone formulated the on-the-spot counter-grab for the team, referring to the current outstanding performance of Barcelona. When the ball is lost, the opponent's player with the ball is encircled by two or three people, which puts huge pressure on the opponent's player with the ball. Playing the ball in a hurry reduces the success rate of the pass.

However, this tactic is also very risky. If the counter-grab in the front field fails to steal the ball or slow down the opponent's attack speed, it will pose a great threat to your goal.

Considering that Banfield's overall strength is not strong, Simeone is going to verify it at home.

With the whistle of the referee, the final game of the third round of the 2008-2009 season autumn league started at the Monument Stadium.

The River Plate players sitting at home once suppressed the visiting team in the 30-meter defensive area of ​​their own half under the cheers of the fans in the stands. Banfield, who had made up his mind to defend and counterattack, did not feel any discomfort.

there is always a solution to a problem.

They adopted a defensive strategy of compressing the space at the front of the penalty area, minimizing the power of Tang Zheng's advance into the penalty area to participate in the competition for the top.

Banfield, who was a guest, also stole the ball in the backcourt a few times and wanted to play a quick counterattack, but River Plate, who was playing at home, was obviously prepared. He counterattacked on the spot the moment the ball was lost, forming a local defensive advantage, which made the opponent rush the ball and pass the pass. The success rate of the ball is reduced to a minimum.

And the second steal counterattack on the spot also gave River Plate a lead in the score. At the end of the first half, the score was 1:0.

The home team is at the front and the visiting team is at the back.

Throughout the first half, River Plate, who played at home, had an extremely high success rate in counter-attacks on the spot, so that their ball possession rate was as high as 75%.

However, it is only under such an advantage that the fans are a little dissatisfied with just one goal lead.

Ten minutes into the second half, River Plate expanded the score.

It was Tang Zheng who advanced into the penalty area to participate in the header competition and caused the opponent's central defender Barassa to make a mistake, and Ortega scored with an own goal assist.

The home team leads by two goals, and the home fans in the stands can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Two minutes later, Banfield made the first substitution adjustment in the audience.

Tang Zheng naturally turned his head to look at the substitution place. James Rodriguez, wearing the No. 13 jersey, was standing next to the fourth official, waiting to come on.

This substitution adjustment is immediate for Banfield. Although James Rodriguez is not yet eighteen years old this year, his dribbling skills are very good, and he has a wide vision and a good combination of man and ball. Poncio, who didn't understand his characteristics at first, was scored by the young James Rodriguez alone.

It was Tang Zheng who had already guarded against this, and directly blocked James Rodriguez behind him with a cross body, and distributed the ball to Rosales on the side.

James Rodriguez looked up at Tang Zheng who was half a head taller than him, subconsciously frowned.

The youthful face looked extraordinarily heavy.

He is stronger than before!

"Unexpectedly, this foreign player who just broke the record of being the youngest player in Argentina's top league really has a certain strength. His absolute speed is not fast, but the combination of man and ball is very good, and the most important thing is his wide vision. When you press high, you always send the ball to the safest place." Abel Claudio admired the newcomer a little bit.

With James Rodriguez coming alive, Banfield's attack has picked up a lot.

Banfield, who did not complete a shot in the entire first half, actually completed two consecutive shots after James Rodriguez came on the field. One of them was that James Rodriguez received forward Santiago at the front of the penalty area. · Silva's return ball completed the shot, and Tang Zheng, who rushed to the horse, did not block the ball.

It was goalkeeper Daniel Bega who reacted quickly and made extreme saves.

James Rodriguez, who didn't score a goal, was very sorry, lying on the grass and pulling his hair with both hands.

TYC Sports TV commentator Xiaolili Termer also regretted: "Fortunately, Daniel Bega did not lose his mind at the critical moment, otherwise this Colombian who is 17 years old and 7 months old will break the youngest in the A League. The scoring record of foreign players..."

Tang Zheng pulled James Rodriguez up and said with a smile: "That's right, much better than the same period last year."

"It must be." James Rodriguez's young face showed a touch of determination: "I will definitely score!"

"Okay!" Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said with a smile, "But... this will be a very difficult task to complete."

"Let's see." James Rodriguez raised his head and said.

River Plate, which has home court advantage, still took the initiative, but Banfield's counterattack was impressive, so Tang Zheng had to put more thoughts on the team's transition from offense to defense.

Tang Zheng glanced at James Rodriguez who sent another precise kick, and he murmured: "I underestimated you."

In the 68th minute, Falcao's shot from the right side of the penalty area was embraced by the goalkeeper Bologna. He immediately threw the ball vigorously and found James Rodriguez on the sideline. Passed Poncio and Cabral, and then made a direct pass to find forward Facundo Ferreira, who is also born in the 1990s.

Fortunately, Musacchio, who was chasing back with top speed, made an accurate judgment, otherwise Banfield would have played a high-quality quick counterattack.

Subsequently, the live broadcast gave a panoramic shot of Banfield's quick counterattack.

The commentators sitting in the live commentary praised James Rodriguez's performance after he came on the field, and some commentators even thought that he was likely to help Banfield reduce the score and even equalize the score.
