River Plate sports director Enzo Franciscoli had just returned to his office when the beautiful secretary pushed open the door of his office with a smile on his face. Tasting books

Don't think about it, the beautiful lady secretary simply put the relevant quotation materials on the table: "Mr. Enzo, these are the latest quotations for today."

With the sound of a cold door closing, Enzo Francescoli recovered his attention from his plump buttocks, and looked down at the quotation on the table.

Porto offered Tang Zheng and Falcao a bundle of 14 million euros, Benfica offered Falcao 6 million euros, Real offered Tang Zheng 8 million euros, and Shakhtar Donetsk offered Bonanorte Five million euros, Celta offered Musao three million euros...

These quotations are only a little higher than the quotations he saw yesterday, not too much, until he rubbed his eyes when he saw the latest quotations from Wolfsburg and Bayern Munich, and subconsciously exclaimed: "Oh my God, Wolfsburg Wolfsburg is willing to pay a transfer fee of 10 million euros for Don, and Bayern is even more sincere, and it turned out to be 12 million euros!"

God!

Immediately, Enzo Franciscoli went to Chairman Aguilar's office immediately, the 12 million euros was beyond Tang Zheng's termination clause, so it must be carefully considered!

However, Aguilar did not agree to the offer, but said meaningfully: "There is no hurry, now is the critical period of the Copa Libertadores. Premature disclosure of transfer information is not good for the team's preparations, and... since Bayern is willing to spend 12 million euros at this time, what about after the Copa Libertadores final? Will they and other teams have higher offers?"

Enzo Franciscoli was known for being smart in his player days, so he is also good at using his brain after becoming the team's sports director. Tang Zheng is now one of the team's biggest talents. With his performance getting better and better, Ajia The stage of the Copa Libertadores has been difficult to satisfy him, and the chance of leaving Europe this summer is infinitely close to 100%.

As Chairman Aguilar said, after the Copa Libertadores final, Tang Zheng's value will definitely increase, and the domestic market behind Tang Zheng will not be ignored by any team.

But he thought of Tang Zheng's agent, Rodrygo, and expressed his worries: "It's hard to explain to the agent. I heard that he went to Germany recently. I guess Wolfsburg and Bayern have raised their offers to match the price." He's related."

"It's okay, I have a way to calm him, you can rest assured." Sitting on the luxurious leather sofa, Aguilar said meaningfully: "You just need to do a good job of keeping it secret, and the team's performance in the Copa Libertadores The results must be guaranteed, we have not won the championship for 12 years, and we have great hopes for this year."

Aguilar didn't make it clear what he said later, and Enzo Franciscoli could guess that when River Plate won the Copa Libertadores, the opening of the River Plate supermarket would be more profitable.

When River Plate won the Libertadores Cup for the first time, it was the penultimate season of his career. Twelve years have passed in a blink of an eye, and it is time to crown this long-awaited championship trophy.

In public and private, he hopes that River Plate can win the Copa Libertadores.

※※※

Due to the convenience of the schedule, River Plate has no league tasks on weekends, so they can wholeheartedly prepare for the semi-final second leg of the Copa Libertadores.

But this is only the superficial meaning. Everyone knows the real meaning. The 4:1 home victory over Gremio basically means that they have advanced to the Copa Libertadores final this season.

As for the opponent in the final, I don’t know whether it is Cruzeiro, who has fought in the group, or the national team from Uruguay, but no matter who the opponent is in the final in the future, Simeone dare not neglect. After all, being able to enter the final represents that they have a certain Strength.

Judging from the first round between Cruzeiro and the national team, the victorious Cruzeiro is more likely to advance to the final, because they won 3:1 at home, as long as they do not make too many mistakes when they go to the away game,

A rendezvous with River Plate in the final is very promising.

Of course, from a subjective point of view, everyone hopes to meet a nation from Uruguay. After all, the opponents are limited in strength, and they have a greater hope of winning the finals.

However, in the second round of the Copa Libertadores semi-final, Cruzeiro, who was a guest, did not have any accidents. They drew 2:2 with the Nation in an away game, thus eliminated their opponents with a total score of 5:3 and advanced to the final.

All the media and fans who pay attention to the Copa Libertadores final know that the 2009 Copa Libertadores final match has been announced. Even the Brazilian media prefers to see the Copa Libertadores final. Qiang stood out and joined Cruzeiro in the Copa Libertadores final this season.

The second round of the Copa Libertadores semi-final in Porto Alegre has not yet started, and many media have already said that both sides of the final have been released, which itself is an insult to Gremio.

However, considering their 1:4 away defeat to River Plate in the first round, the media cannot be blamed for guessing the places to enter the final in advance.

In the regular press conference before the game, head coach Marcelo Rospide admitted to the media that the game was meaningless, but at the same time he also believed that there was hope for this game, and his players would fight to the last second!

Yes, they did well in the Arena Gremio, but River Plate was even better.

Even though Gremio had the home court advantage and the better-formed River Plate took the lead to break the deadlock, Tang Zheng, the center of the field, scored the goal. He scored with a header half an hour into the game.

And the production of this goal also means that Gremio's last hope is gone, because they must score four consecutive goals in the remaining hour if they want to advance to the final.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. Both sides consciously replaced their main players. Tang Zheng, Falcao and Ortega were substituted one after another.

In the end, River Plate, who was a guest, beat the home team Gremio 1-0 with Tang Zheng's goal, thus eliminated the opponent with a total score of 5:1 and advanced to the final.

They will compete for the Copa Libertadores championship with their opponent Cruzeiro who has a record in the group stage.

※※※

This season, the Copa Libertadores has scored eight out of 16, and there is only one seedling left in the A-League, while the four teams in the Brazil A-League have all defeated their opponents and advanced to the quarter-finals. There are also many Brazilian media who believe that this year's Copa Libertadores will be reduced For the Pakistani civil war.

But the facts have proved that the river plate is united, from the quarter-finals against Sao Paulo to the semi-finals against Gremio, they directly advanced to the final with a wave of four consecutive victories.

This will be the eleventh confrontation between the Brazil A team and the A A team in the Libertadores Cup history. There are two championships dating back to 1963 and 1976.

In terms of psychological advantage, the River Plate must have the upper hand.

They beat Cruzeiro 5-0 at home in the fifth round of the group stage. River Plate fans have enough reason to believe that the final victory is River Plate!

The final will be held a week later.

In the arrangement of the schedule, River Plate is better than Cruzeiro, they first guest and then host.

However, with the unbearable experience of losing 0:3 to Cruzeiro in the first round away, the head coach Simeone still dare not neglect his opponent, and there is also a certain element of luck in the 5:0 home victory over Cruzeiro.

The away game in the first round will determine River Plate's strategic choice for returning home in the second round, so Simeone decided to focus on defense.

The football world has always been dominated by winners and losers. No one cares what tactics you use to win, they only judge heroes by their achievements.

The players also know that the next Copa Libertadores final is the top priority. They have no objection to coach Simeone's tactical choice. The concept that defense determines the championship has penetrated into everyone's soul.

After the second round of the Copa Libertadores semi-finals, River Plate has the last round of the autumn league, but River Plate, which won the championship early, has no need to waste the energy of the main players for this game, so the lineup of substitute + youth team + reserve team Cope with the last round of the league.

During the period of preparing for the away game against Cruzeiro, the coaches of the two sides seemed to have reached a certain level of awareness and did not accept media interviews. They were very low-key preparing for the next final.

But the players are not calm, especially Ramirez, Cruzeiro's core player. That 0:5 fiasco once made him a public enemy. Fortunately, the coach Batista trusted him very much. He also lived up to the expectations of the head coach, helping Cruzeiro to sweep away the haze of the disastrous defeat and enter the Copa Libertadores final in one fell swoop.

Ramirez, who has once again become the darling of Cruzeiro fans, took the initiative to say in an interview with local Brazilian media: "In the past we were able to beat River Plate 3-0 at home. After five months, we can also beat River Plate again. The third Copa Libertadores title in our history!"

"But you lost 0:5 at Monument Stadium."

The Argentine media was very upset to hear that, a fat young reporter from the Clarion asked.

Ramirez is upset, that fiasco can be said to be the most unbearable match in his career so far, and now the reporter of the "Clarion" really should not mention which pot.

Of course, he knew that momentum is the most important thing at this time, so he said in a strong manner: "The past games have no reference value. My teammates, coaches and fans believe that we will win the next game."

The Brazilians were extremely satisfied with Ramirez's words, but the Argentines didn't take it seriously. They thought it was just Ramirez deceiving himself and others.

On July 5th, River Plate ended the final round of the 2008-2009 season autumn league at home. They played with a full bench and drew with the University of La Plata.

It is worth mentioning that the teenager Lamela born in 1992 performed well. It was his first goal that helped River Plate win a draw at home.

In addition, Jonas performed well. Lamela's goal came from his exquisite through ball.

River Plate has been unbeaten at home for two consecutive seasons, and River Plate fans have more reason to believe that the Copa Libertadores champion...is a deal!
