River Plate just finished the last round of the League against Universidad de la Plata at home. The whole team took a flight to Belo Horizonte to prepare for the first round of the Copa Libertadores final. In the words of the head coach Simeone, it is the past The game can only be used as a reference basis, but it takes 90 minutes of unremitting efforts to win the game.

When the River Plate team came out of the airport, they were welcomed by the Argentine media and River Plate fans who came to Belo Horizonte in advance.

In addition, there are a large number of Brazilian media and Cruzeiro fans waiting at the exit.

They didn't come to welcome River Plate, on the contrary, they came in advance to give Cruzeiro a lookout, or to influence River Plate's mood of preparing for the battle.

"There's a bunch of idiots in white and red coming to Belo Horizonte, they're from Argentina, yes, they're a bunch of idiots, idiots... look, the idiots are watching..."

Hundreds of Cruzeiro fans sang self-made songs insulting River Plate at the exit of the airport, in order to anger the players from River Plate.

But what I didn't expect was that none of the River Plate players were disturbed, because they were all wearing headphones with excellent sound effects and listening to lyrical music, and they didn't notice the Cruzeiro fans outside the airport at all.

In other words, the Cruzeiro fans who tried their best were doing useless work. This feeling is very uncomfortable, like punching cotton with all their strength.

In this regard, the Brazilian media, which has a large number of people, will naturally not allow River Plate to go to the hotel where they are staying so easily. They blocked the way for River Plate coaches and players to the bus, as if you will not let me leave unless you accept an interview.

In the absence of a solution, coach Simeone had to accept interviews with local media in Brazil, but he did not answer any questions related to the team's preparations and tactics.

At the same time, there are also a lot of reporters surrounding Tang Zheng, who is currently in the best condition of the River Plate team.

However, the attitude of Tang Zheng's answer dissatisfied the native Brazilian reporters, because he only said one sentence: "We are here to win."

So the Cruzeiro fans at Belo Horizonte International Airport erupted in huge boos, sending it to the ignorant Tang Zheng.

Undoubtedly, it was easy to imagine the fierce reaction of the Cruzeiro players who were preparing for the first round of the final when Tang Zheng's words were heard.

Many players claimed after the training that they would teach Tang Zheng how to behave in the game.

And the Argentine media are very supportive of Tang Zheng's remarks. Even the "Ole Newspaper", which has always been against Tang Zheng in the past, they have to stand by River Plate in the final of the Copa Libertadores. After all, personal grievances cannot be compared with national glory. .

In the past, River Plate could be ridiculed if it didn't make it to the finals, but now it's tantamount to having a hope of competing for the championship.

If you still risk the world's dissatisfaction and sing the opposite tune at this time, it will be over.

Cruzeiro, like River Plate, has won the Copa Libertadores twice in the 49-year history of the Libertadores, and this contest will also determine who can win the club's third Copa Libertadores trophy. The eighth team to win the Copa Libertadores three times.

Judging from the past record, it is natural to lean towards River Plate, and judging from the past Copa Libertadores finals, the Argentine team has the advantage to win the championship, so the Argentine media are very supportive of Tang Zheng's statement.

Indeed, this is also the reason why the Brazilian media and Cruzeiro fans came to Belo Horizonte International Airport, but what they did not expect was that the confidence was not found, and instead they were suffocated.

In the Internet age, the speed of information dissemination is astonishing. Tang Zheng had just arrived at the hotel where he was staying with the team, and there were Cruzeiro players refuting Tang Zheng's remarks.

It was Ramirez who responded this time, saying: "Winning is the goal of all teams coming to the Mineiro Stadium, but it is only the goal, because in the end it will be us Cruzeiro!"

The grievances between Tang Zheng and Ramirez were reported by the media as early as during the Copa Libertadores group stage.

But at this time, Ramirez's positive response to Tang Zheng's remarks is undoubtedly to make the past reports regain their value.

But soon, the attention of the American media was attracted by a piece of news from Europe-Manchester United and Real Madrid reached an agreement, and Manchester United's top star Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Real Madrid for a record 94 million euros.

※※※

Logically speaking, the European transfer market has little to do with the Americas, but the amount involved in this transfer is too large. Real Madrid bought Zidane from Juventus back then. Florentino, who is in charge of Real Madrid, directly refreshed the transfer fee record in 2001.

You must know that Real Madrid spent 65 million euros and 35 million euros to buy Kaka and Benzema before buying Cristiano Ronaldo. Adding up this income, the investment is infinitely close to 200 million euros , This speed of burning money is difficult to accept in a short time.

Therefore, the attention of the American media was also temporarily attracted by the European transfer market. Tang Zheng, who was supposed to be condemned and smeared by the Brazilian media, "dodged a disaster" for the time being.

Tang Zheng also had a lot of leisure time, and was able to focus all his energy on the first round of the Libertadores Cup final.

At the beginning of the season, he had already set his goal to win the Copa Libertadores. Due to the media, he had to change his goal to a double crown. Now that the league championship has been won, only the final Copa Libertadores remains.

If there is no accident, it is very possible to log in to Europe this summer, so Tang Zheng will win the Libertadores Cup no matter what.

On the night before the final, Simeone called all the players and coaches who came to Belo Horizonte to the hotel conference room, which was the last tactical meeting before the game.

First, the assistant coach Jorge Gortillo announced the starting list for tomorrow's final as usual, and then the tactical coach Sergi explained the tactics used in the game, strengthened the memory of the players, and ensured that every starting player knew what to do in the game What, what should be done.

After the players digested it, Simeone, as the head coach, coughed lightly to brush off his presence.

"There are some things that I have to make clear before the game. Tomorrow is the final. I hope everyone here can take the next final seriously. I don't want what happened in the first half of the first round of the semi-final to happen again. And... Cruce Some of Luo’s players play dirty, and they may be taken care of by the referee when they are playing at home, I hope everyone can restrain their temper.”

Having said that, Simeone looked at Tang Zheng: "Tang, especially you."

"Head, what's wrong with me?"

Tang Zheng asked with an innocent face.

Simeone glared at Tang Zheng, as if subconsciously said: "Are you kidding again?"

Some team members looked at Tang Zheng's innocent expression, combined with the head coach's eyes, secretly covered their mouths and smiled.

"You are the player with the most cards in our team, so I hope you can control your temper in the away game. We still remember the red card at the Mineiro Arena five months ago." Since Tang Zheng wanted to pretend, Simon Ni just came directly with a fatal blow.

"Ahem." Tang Zheng coughed lightly, "Actually, I'm still a very simple boy."

Everyone couldn't help laughing now, including the coaching staff.

"You don't simply have nothing to do with me. I just hope that you can control your temper in tomorrow's game, and don't want to go up and fight with others when you are attacked physically and verbally by the opponent. Is there a problem?"

Tang Zheng also realized the importance of tomorrow's final, and his face became serious: "There is no problem."

But he was complaining in his heart: I don't know who is attacking whom.

Later, under Simeone, everyone played a small game, mainly to relax the players, so that they can sleep well tonight and prepare for tomorrow's final in a good state of mind.

At the same time, in the hotel where the Cruzeiro team stayed, Batista also held a pre-match tactical meeting.

He mainly aimed at Ramirez who had conflicts with Tang Zheng in the past, and hoped that he could pay attention to controlling his emotions during the competition.

In this regard, Ramirez nodded naturally, but complained in his heart: Damn Chinese, I will let you know that some people cannot be offended!

※※※

It was nearly ten o'clock in the evening when he returned to the room. Tang Zheng took a hot bath and took out his mobile phone to pay attention to which players had recently transferred.

It wasn't until half past ten that Tang Zheng closed his eyes and went to sleep. At the same time, he didn't forget to encourage himself secretly: Tomorrow, you must perform well in the first round of the final at the Mineiro Stadium!

With the expectation of tomorrow's final, Tang Zheng fell asleep in a daze.

But as a roommate, Musacchio couldn't sleep, and he turned on the bedside lamp helplessly.

Tang Zheng had already entered a sleep state, but his eyelids felt glaring for a while. He instinctively squinted his eyes, then stretched out his hand to block the light, and said to Musazio who turned on the light, "What are you doing?"

"Thinking that I will start tomorrow's final, I suddenly feel a little nervous, why can't I sleep?"

Musacchio leaned against the head of the bed, shrugged his shoulders and said.

"..."

Now Tang Zheng has the urge to hit someone, everyone has already fallen asleep and was woken up by Musacchio, doesn't he know that a good sleep can guarantee a good performance in the next day's game?

"Aren't you nervous?"

Seeing that Tang Zheng didn't speak, Musacchio asked.

"Isn't it the Copa Libertadores final? Be nervous."

Tang Zheng angrily turned off the bedside lamp, and covered his head with the quilt.

"Don, are you still human? Don't you feel nervous in the first Copa Libertadores final in your life?"

Musacchio said in surprise.

"Then you were also nervous when you had sex with your girlfriend for the first time?"

Tang Zheng's helpless voice came from under the bed.

"God, how did you guess so accurately? I was really nervous at the time..."

"..."

"By the way...were you nervous when you met your girlfriend for the first time?"

"..."
