Chapter 84: The third yellow card

After completing the turn, Tang Zheng wanted to complete the ultimate block defense according to the direction of Kongka's spike and the strength of the ball, but he did not expect that Kongka's reaction speed would be faster, and he dunked the ball back in advance.

The distance between the two of them was not too far, after Kongka's two consecutive forward-changing spikes made the distance between the two even closer, even if Tang Zheng wanted to dodge, he couldn't dodge.

So, Kongka bumped into Tang Zheng's strong back, and then fell backwards, with a golden star on his head.

Immediately afterwards, the referee's whistle sounded.

River Plate coach Diego Simeone kept his eyes on the referee until his right hand fumbled into his trouser pocket...

TYC Sports TV commentator Abel Claudio looked at the referee who had drawn a yellow card on the screen, and suddenly remembered that Tang Zheng had received a yellow card in the past two 1/8 finals, which meant that this was his participation in the liberation. The third yellow card in the Players Cup.

According to the cumulative yellow card suspension regulations of the Copa Libertadores, as long as three yellow cards are accumulated before the semi-finals, it will be automatically suspended for one game.

Abel Claudio exclaimed: "Oh my God, Don will be automatically suspended for River Plate's second-leg away game against Fluminense! This is not good news for River Plate!"

"I agree with Abel very much. Although Tang is very young and has played limited professional leagues, he has made great contributions to River Plate. Apart from this game, he has contributed two goals and three times in the past five games. The direct statistics of assists, 27 clearances and 23 steals..."

Shorili Tailmer said according to the materials he had prepared in advance.

"So Tang's effect on River Plate is very obvious. Whether it is on the offensive or defensive end, he has a high contribution rate. If you look at the overall contribution alone, he is definitely River Plate's best player in May!" Abel Claudio said.

Tang Zheng on the court hadn't realized that he would miss the quarter-finals of the second round. He only knew that the action just now was a little too big. It was a normal result to get a yellow card. It wasn't a red card anyway, so he didn't think about it. Argue with the referee and wait for goalkeeper Juan Carrizo to set up the wall.

About 27 meters away from the goal, it is more suitable for direct free kicks with the left foot, which should not be underestimated.

Diego Simeone, who was standing off the field, saw Tang Zheng's indifferent expression and shook his head.

During the intermission, he reminded him cryptically, but he didn't expect Tang Zheng to be careless because of being too cryptic. If he had known earlier, it would have been OK to just tell him that he had two yellow cards.

There are no ifs in the world, and even if Tang Zheng knew that he would be suspended for a yellow card in this game, he would not bury his teammates, and he must shoulder the responsibility that should be shouldered by himself!

※※※

Conca took Fluminense's front free kick and corner kick. His footwork is naturally outstanding, so Juan Carrizo dared not neglect and hit the five-man wall.

But despite this, Conca's direct free kick still found a shot from his side's demolition tactics.

"--Ooooh!!"

Accompanied by a burst of exclamations from the stands, the Argentine National TV five commentator felt relieved and said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, Juan's reaction is fast enough, otherwise the ball will be hanging..."

On the field, the River Plate players boxed with the goalkeeper Juan Carrizo to express their encouragement, especially Tang Zheng. He sent this set ball. Juan Carrizo threw the ball away, which is equivalent to helping him. Bundle.

Conca regretted not sending a free kick to the goal, pulled his hair with both hands, and then took a corner kick.

This time the corner kick did not pose any threat. The goal of the football was to find the central defender Thiago Silva. Tang Zheng had long consciously approached this not tall but very good central defender, so he easily overwhelmed the opponent's general. The ball was cleared, and Ahumada, who was guarding the middle of the penalty area, added a kick, and the football flew towards Fluminense's half.

The crisis is over, but it is far from over for Diego Simeone.

Now Tang Zheng has a yellow card on his back, which means that Fluminense's offensive players will consciously approach him and try to make fouls.

really!

Whenever Fluminense gets an opportunity to attack, they will intentionally or unintentionally look for an opportunity here at Tang Zheng.

Even if it can't cause a foul, then you can always take advantage of the young guy's mentality of avoiding the most serious and taking the lightest?

But the idea is good, but the reality is a bit cruel.

It's fine for Kongka with excellent skills to find Tang Zheng, and forward Alan with rough feet also came to find confidence.

Isn't this looking for abuse?

Facing Alan who was speeding up with the ball, Tang Zheng didn't care about the yellow card on his back, and made a defensive action of falling to the ground and shoveling the moment the opponent changed direction. Alan never thought that Tang Zheng was carrying a yellow card. Also choose this kind of defensive action that is extremely easy to get cards.

So Alan's foot connection speed was half a beat slower, the football was left under Tang Zheng's feet, and he also fell to the ground due to inertia.

The referee's position is very good, so he ignored the complaints of the Fluminense players and signaled the game to continue.

Then there was a burst of cheers from the stands, for Tang Zheng's wonderful defense, it was also regarded as a compliment for the referee.

And Diego Simeone, who was standing on the sidelines, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was really scared just now.

As long as there is a slight mistake in the defensive action of shoveling, the referee will be warned or directly yellow carded, and if the risk is high, it will even be directly red carded.

Of course, Tang Zheng knew the action of dropping the shovel on the ground, every time he put the shovel, the spikes would stick to the ground.

In addition, playing at home can make Tang Zheng even more excited. The sliding tackle not only has a large defensive area, but also has a strong deterrent effect.

But the most important reason is that the sliding shovel can bring Tang Zheng a strong sense of accomplishment. For many defensive players, the sliding shovel is a defensive action made to make up for the lack of defensive space, but for Tang Zheng it is Not so, many times he can complete the defense with the advantage of his height and leg length, but he often chooses the sliding shovel that seems to be more difficult...

Messili Lamar slightly frowned. He originally thought that Tang Zheng, who received a yellow card, would become a loophole in River Plate's defense, but after five minutes of verification, Tang Zheng, who received a yellow card, had no intention of stopping the kick at all. How should he play? Just how to kick.

This kind of player is often very difficult to deal with. No matter what you do, he will be tough with you, and the key is to complete the task well.

During the time when the Fluminense players were consciously looking for fouls and mistakes on Tang Zheng, River Plate also played two quick counterattacks, but the results were not good, and no goals were scored.

The score is still 1:0

Seeing that the second half of the game is about to pass, Diego Simeone is very anxious. A goal difference at home is not safe enough!

Three minutes later, River Plate made a second substitution adjustment, and Bonannot replaced Rosales, who was not in good form in the game.

At this time, the visiting team Fluminense has not yet made a personnel adjustment.

Therefore, the commentator Abel Claudio gave his own doubts: "The river plate at home has made two substitution adjustments, while Fluminense, who is behind, has stayed put. What kind of medicine are they selling?"

In fact, Messi Lamallho didn't think about it himself. The effect of playing the two sides is not obvious, and the same is true for playing the middle. He can only continue to respond to changes with the same.

As for River Plate, Bonannot's offense has improved significantly since he came on the field. Tang Zheng, Sanchez, Falcao, and Bonnault have been training together every day during this period, and the degree of tacit understanding must be better than other teammates.

It's just that Fluminense, who is a guest, is very focused on defense, especially the defense against Falcao.

Coupled with the improvement of Thiago Silva's state, with his defensive awareness, he can always turn dangerous situations into safety.

In addition, the away game only lost one goal to River Plate, which is still acceptable for Fluminense...

So this period of time is very difficult for both sides of the game, but in this difficult time, it is precisely the time period when it is easiest to form a goal.

Seventy-five minutes into the game, the physical fitness of most players on both sides reached a critical point.

At this time, the competition is more about willpower. As long as you persist for about 80 minutes, you will be a hero again.

Therefore, the running ability of both sides has dropped to an extreme, except for Domingo and Bonannot who came off the bench in the second half and were not affected.

But affected by the whole, their effect is not obvious.

Tang Zheng's physical fitness was relatively abundant at this time, and he also felt that the team as a whole was affected by the critical point of physical fitness, so he took advantage of the gap time when Juan Carrizo was about to kick off the goal kick to hold Ahumada: "Hey , Captain... wait until you make up for me first, I have good physical fitness, so come forward, and you can take advantage of this time to recover your physical fitness, okay?"

"Huh?" Ahumada frowned, and at the same time, his brain was running at high speed, and he didn't refuse, but he raised his own concerns: "Where is the coach?"

Tang Zheng waved his hand: "All right, all right...as long as there are goals, the coach won't care so much!"

Hearing the word'goal', Ahumada was refreshed: "Are you sure you can score?"

Ahumada's rhetorical question is equivalent to the tasks issued by domestic leaders to his subordinates. As a subordinate, he must answer "guaranteed to complete the task". This time Tang Zheng was no exception. He patted his chest and said, "Must!"
