Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 144 Picking a pass and assisting the 'Xiao Maolu'

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

If River Plate wants to take the initiative on the way to the top 16 of the Copa Libertadores, they must win Cruzeiro at home. If the situation permits, they can beat Cruzeiro if they win three goals or more. Cerro ascends to the top of Group E!

In view of this possibility, River Plate continued to maintain its offensive after the game restarted, striving to score another goal before the end of the first half.

Of course, it would be even better if you can get two or even three...

Tang Zheng was the biggest contributor to helping River Plate break the stalemate on the field, and he was also the most violated by Cruzeiro players, so the game entered a stage full of gunpowder.

Fortunately, the chief referee on duty was decisive and merciless when it was time to give the cards. He gave them to Tang Zheng, Ramirez, and another Cruzeiro player, Parana, who reacted violently.

However, this penalty was not fair in Simeone's eyes. His player was violated by the opponent, so why did Tang Zheng also get a yellow card?

In the same way, in Joel Santana's eyes, Tang Zheng, who reacted violently, should be sent off with a red card.

TYC Sports TV commentator Abel Claudio shook his head and smiled wryly: "Don is still too young. Cruzeiro's foul is obviously targeted. I hope he can keep a calm head in the next game and continue to serve River Plate. Create a threatening offense."

In fact, Tang Zheng calmed down after receiving a yellow card. In the first round of the Copa Libertadores, he was sent off because he received two yellow cards in a row. As a result, River Plate, which had one less player, suffered a disastrous away game.

So Tang Zheng wouldn't fall twice in the same pit, he raised his head and glanced at the score board above the south stand: 39\\40"

In other words, there are still five minutes before the end of the first half. If injury time is counted, it should only be about six minutes.

Make up your mind and try to expand the score before the end of the first half, then you can take advantage of the opponent's anxious mentality to make a few more wins...

Seeing that Tang Zheng had calmed down, Ramirez felt a little reconciled. He really wanted Tang Zheng to be sent off again after accumulating two yellow cards. River Plate, which lacked the core of the midfield, would very likely be defeated at home!

Therefore, Ramirez used a lot of little tricks when defending Tang Zheng, either using the referee's blind spot to push the back of the thigh, or insulting Tang Zheng while running.

But he obviously underestimated Tang Zheng, Tang Zheng had experienced the training of an old fritter like Poncio,

In terms of small movements, he has achieved a little.

Ramirez kicked Tang Zheng without the referee noticing, and Tang Zheng would retaliate after a while, stepping on Ramirez's feet with the sole of his shoe the moment the referee turned around.

Moreover, he would use sharp words to satirize Ramirez during corner kicks or set kicks. If his partner Parana hadn't reacted fast enough, Ramirez would have rolled up his sleeves and had a big fight with Tang Zheng. a...

Seeing that there was less and less time left in the first half, Tang Zheng felt a little anxious. He received the ball from Bonanotra in the attacking 30-meter area.

Ramirez immediately stood in front of Tang Zheng, preventing him from breaking through while giving him enough pressure.

Tang Zheng's upper body suddenly swayed to the left, and at the same time his left shoulder sank, Ramirez subconsciously tilted his center of gravity to the right, and then Tang Zheng swiped the ball horizontally to the right with the outer instep of his right foot.

Only then did Ramirez realize that he was deceived by Tang Zheng's fake moves.

"Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!"

Immediately, the home fans in the stands erupted into loud cheers, shouting for Tang Zheng's escape this time.

Ramirez reacted quickly, pushing the heel of his right foot downwards, the body received a huge reaction force to stabilize the center of gravity, and then forcibly extended his left leg to reach the ball, but Tang Zheng's connection was very fast, the instep of his right foot He pushed the football that had just been pushed forward.

At this time, Ramirez couldn't take into account that he had received a yellow card, because he had no choice, if Tang Zheng took the ball, the defense would be in danger!

※※※

Joel Santana was standing on the sidelines, swearing, and doing a lot of body movements. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with Ramirez's defensive action. If Tang Zheng was kicked down by him, then he might Get your second yellow card of the game.

Logically speaking, Ramirez just needs to stand still to defend Tang Zheng in this position, there is absolutely no need to take the initiative to take defensive actions...

However, Tang Zheng didn't take advantage of the trend and fell to the ground, he knew that Ramirez's loss of defensive position would bring greater gains.

Ramirez's outstretched left leg did indeed kick Tang Zheng's supporting foot, but his strong and powerful legs forcibly stabilized his body during the staggering process, and then cooperated with his hands to support the grass, and did not fall. Down.

The Monument Stadium, which had erupted with huge boos, suddenly changed its tone, and overwhelming cheers poured down from the stands on all sides, sweeping the entire stadium.

Parana scolded Ramirez as an 'idiot' in his heart, but without any hesitation, he moved faster, rushed over aggressively from the side, and completed the task that Ramirez had not completed-a foul.

Tang Zheng didn't increase his speed, and didn't intend to rush, but staggered with the instep of his left foot, and the football rolled towards Domingo, who was defended by Parana.

So Parana had to come to a sudden brake, turned a corner and rushed towards Domingo, but Domingo didn't mean to stick to the ball. Erkao.

Leonardo Silva and Eleanor stepped up to press Falcao at the same time, preventing him from getting the ball comfortably.

Falcao didn't intend to take the ball, he directly returned it to the forward Tang Zheng.

The continuous pass has brought Tang Zheng to the top of the penalty area, only about 25 meters away from the goal.

This frightened Parano and the two central defenders. You must know that it is very dangerous for the opponent's core players to take the ball in this position!

The disadvantages of Ramirez not being in a defensive position are infinitely magnified!

Because Tang Zheng, who was holding the ball at the top of the penalty area, would pose a huge threat to the goal guarded by Fabio, whether he was shooting or passing the ball.

Parana slammed on the brakes again, ready to defend Tang Zheng, but at this moment his feet slipped suddenly and fell to the ground.

Leonardo Silva and Eleanor worked together in a division of labor. When the defense line was tight, the former stayed close to Falcao, while the latter defended the unmarked Tang Zheng forward.

At the same time, judging from the broadcast footage, Eleanor came out of the penalty area, and the winger Enrique on the right side of the screen also accelerated.

But no matter how you look at it, it seems a little too late, Tang Zheng stopped the ball with the sole of his foot at the top of the penalty area, and then picked a pass into the penalty area.

※※※

Ramirez, who was out of position, was crazily speeding up and running back. In his eyes, Tang Zheng had already swung his right foot.

Yep, the quicker you make your picks when you're unmarked the better it is for the offense!

So Ramirez stopped, his attention was instantly attracted by the football like everyone else, and his eyes followed the football in mid-air to his penalty area.

The flying height of the football is too high. Even if Leonardo Silva and Falcao have the height of Yao Ming, they may not be able to reach the football. They reacted like everyone else, watching the football fly overhead and fall to the ground. The left rib of the penalty area, that is, Cruzeiro's penalty area to defend the right rib.

"Oops!" Leonardo Silva noticed from the corner of his eye a player wearing a white jersey with a touch of red speeding forward, with a big '10' on the back, and told the people present that he was...

"—Ariel Ortega!!"

The commentator, Abel Claudio, extended his voice along with the shouts from the stands.

Ortega, who wore the captain's armband on his left arm, comfortably unloaded the ball while running. He was unmarked at this time, so that he had ample time to observe the position of goalkeeper Fabio.

"Attack?"

The corners of Ortega's mouth turned up, and the toe of his right foot rubbed against the bottom of the football.

Fabio had just made up his mind to abandon the goal and attack, but when he looked up and saw the football leaving the ground, he had to retreat hastily.

When he stepped back to the second step, he kicked the toe of his left foot to the ground, hoping to jump high to lift the ball over the crossbar, but it didn't work because Ortega's lob shot was higher than his outstretched right hand. fingertips, so all he can do is turn his head in mid-air and look back at the football that fell into the net.

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooal——!!" The on-site announcer deliberately elongated his voice, inciting the emotions of the fans in the stands, and making the frenzied atmosphere of the Monument Stadium even higher.

Ortega, who scored a goal, looked very happy. He excitedly jumped over the billboard, rushed to the lower edge of the stands, then took off his jersey and threw it to the stands excitedly.

So the cheers from this stand are obviously higher than those from other stands...

"Goal! Goal! Captain Ortega's goal gave River Plate a 2-0 lead!!"

"River Plate expanded the score to two goals before the end of the first half, and revenge at home is imminent!"

"A beautiful goal! The 35-year-old legendary star 'Xiao Maolu' made a contribution to the team with a very delicate lob!"

The narrator in the commentary praised Ortega with witty words.

And the live announcer continued to stoke the excitement of the fans in the stands: "The goal was, Ariel—"

"—Ortega!!"

Nearly 50,000 River Plate fans chanted Ortega's name hysterically. At that moment, there was only one voice in the entire stadium.

Of course, Ortega who scored the goal did not forget about Tang Zheng, he gave the opponent a strong bear hug, thanking him for his wonderful assist.

Arms akimbo, Ramirez looked at the River Plate players celebrating at the far end, and then at the scoreboard at the south end of the field. The 2-0 score made him very uncomfortable.

No matter from which angle you analyze River Plate's two goals, they are directly related to him.

Just at this time, his midfield partner Parana muttered next to him: "Stay in a good position, don't go up blindly."

"To shut up!"

But Ramirez is in a terrible mood now, and Parana's words are like adding fuel to the fire.

Ramirez has a temper, and Parana even has a temper. He was just reminding him kindly, but Ramirez, who was at fault, told him to shut up?

"Try to say it again?"

Parana glared at Ramirez unhappily.

"I say--"

Before Ramirez finished speaking, fortunately, Enrique and Wagner reacted quickly and pulled the two angry bulls away, otherwise outsiders would laugh...
