Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 88: Season Best Rookie Contest

"I'm really a fucking dog!"

The next day, after Tang Zheng learned from the "Clarion" report that he would miss the second round of the Copa Libertadores quarter-final due to accumulating three yellow cards, he blurted out.

Only now did he remember that during the intermission of the game, coach Simeone once told him to pay attention to defense and not to take cards!

Crack!

Can you just say that if you get another yellow card, you will be automatically suspended?

Tang Zheng was very depressed. Not only did the team allow Fluminense to score an away goal, but he would also miss the second round of the match. Huge depression!

However, he still has confidence in the team. Falcao is in full swing, Sanchez and Bonannot are also in good form, and there are Ahumada, Poncio and other Argentine star players in the midfield. Football is a team. For sports, Tang Zheng believes that River Plate, who is a guest, will definitely return home without a feather. He only needs to play well in the league and wait for the semi-finals of the Libertadores Cup to come!

As usual, the training session the next day after the game will always revolve around the word "recovery".

On the training ground, Tang Zheng is always the one who works the hardest, and he seems to have a magical power that can infect others. After all, Falcao, Sanchez, and Bonanault rarely practiced in the past.

With the arrival of Tang Zheng in the first team, everyone's enthusiasm for training has increased a lot, and some players even practiced with Tang Zheng.

This is why most of the goals scored by River Plate these days are related to Tang Zheng and others...

The first round of the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores is over, and there is still one week before the second round, but the league is also not to be missed for Simeone.

The last round of the league was to take into account the Copa Libertadores in the middle of the week, and the result was an away draw with Independence. If it weren't for the draw in the derby in the La Plata region, the current lead is only two points, so The next league game against the Hurricanes at home has become unavoidable.

In addition, Tang Zheng, who was automatically suspended for the Libertadores Cup in the middle of next week, will very likely start the game in the weekend league, otherwise it will cause a waste of resources.

Since Poncio is the team's main defensive midfielder, he will play again in the second round, so he was not included in Tang Zheng's special training, but Tang Zheng did not relax, he took advantage of the end of the training session to run to the youth team's training ground Find buddy Matteo Musacchio.

It's just that the effect is obviously not as good as Poncio's. After all, Matteo Musacchio has not yet been baptized in the professional league, and he is seriously behind Tang Zheng in terms of game experience. As a training partner, he is no longer qualified.

River Plate will be a guest at the Maracana Stadium to challenge Fluminense in the middle of next week. The schedule is taken care of by the Argentine Football Association. Like Boca Juniors, the league will play on Saturday, and it will be the first two games.

This will help them get more rest time, so as to show a better game state for the next Copa Libertadores.

In the past first-leg contest, neither Boca Juniors nor River Plate performed satisfactorily.

But River Plate at least won the victory, but the score was not very good, 2:1.

But compared to Boca Juniors' 2:2 draw with Atlas from Mexico at home, River Plate's win is quite good.

At least gain the upper hand in the comparison of each other...

Although the weekend league is more important, it is still somewhat different from the second round of the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores. The starting lineup of the game can only be regarded as one and a half main players.

Goalkeeper Juan Carrizo, defenders Danilo Gero, Cabral, Emmanuel and Ferrari, midfielders Bonnanot, Tang Zheng, Aveleras and Rosales, The forwards are Sebastian Abreu and Falcao.

During the handshake session before the start of the game, Tang Zheng saw a more familiar opposing player in the Hurricanes——Javier Pastore.

He remembered that when he was selected for the youth team squad for the first time, the opponent the team encountered was the Hurricane,

The best player of the Hurricanes is the young talent Javier Pastore in front of him.

At that time, if it weren't for the limited strength of Pastore's teammates, otherwise the Hurricane won the game without any problem.

Now that both of them have been promoted from the youth team to the first team, there is naturally a lot of fighting, so Tang Zheng patted Pastore on the shoulder consciously, which is the regret of the youth team back then.

Tang Zheng's position is the midfielder, while Pastore's position is the midfielder, the two are destined to meet many times in the next match.

Pastore was a little puzzled why Tang Zheng patted him on the shoulder, did he encourage him?

The corner of his mouth curved into a nice arc, and he smiled.

If this is the case, he doesn't mind educating Tang Zheng well in the upcoming game.

He wanted Tang Zheng to know, don't think that performing well in the national derby can be arrogant.

Of course, the real reason for Pastore to ignite his fighting spirit was because the head coach kept telling him to be careful of Tang Zheng and so on.

And recently the media kept comparing him with Tang Zheng, which made him even more upset.

Now that there is an opportunity for a direct confrontation, Pastore wants to let everyone know.

In Argentina, there is another demon born in 1989.

His name is - Javier Pastore!

And the media paid great attention to this game, Tang Zheng and Pastore's performances this season can be said to be extremely good.

It's just that Tang Zheng received a higher rate of exposure when he was in a wealthy team, so Pastore's reputation was not as good as Tang Zheng who came from behind.

In addition, due to his recent eye-catching performance, Tang Zheng has already been selected as the best rookie candidate list of the A League this season, posing a great threat to Pastore, who was originally very popular.

So from another point of view, the performance of the two in this game will likely affect the selection of the best rookie in the league at the end of the season.

Everyone is waiting for the referee's whistle, including the commentators in the commentary and the reporters on the sidelines.

In fact, the result of this game is very clear in the eyes of many people. The leader River Plate is not only superior in strength, but also playing at home, with a higher chance of winning. This is why Diego Simeone played in this game. Form a half lineup.

But for the media, what they pay attention to is not the result of the match, but Tang Zheng and Pastore on both sides of the match.

In terms of age, Pastore is a few months older than Tang Zheng, but judging from his contribution to the team in the recent games, Tang Zheng is far ahead.

Before the referee blew the whistle for the first half, the on-site director consciously shot Tang Zheng and Pastore separately, and even gave him a close-up shot of pushing his face.

Tang Zheng's expression didn't show much fluctuation, as calm as a football veteran, while Pastore's expression looked a little unnatural, or nervous.

Immediately, the referee blew his whistle, which meant that the focus of the sixteenth round of the 2008 A-League Autumn League officially kicked off.

There is a certain difference between the Argentine League and other general leagues. The League A has a total of 20 teams and 38 games in a season, but the complete League is divided into the Spring League and the Autumn League with 19 games each. , that is to say, there are two league titles in a full season of A League...

Simeone is the class who replaced the legendary River Plate legend Passarella after the end of the spring league, and led River Plate to the autumn league. Now that the league has reached the sixteenth round, River Plate tops the league table with a four-point advantage.

There are still four rounds before the end of the autumn league. Although Diego Simeone needs to save his strength for the second round of the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals, the autumn league championship is also determined to win!

Therefore, he had high hopes for Tang Zheng in this game, and even gave Tang Zheng the responsibility of organizing the team's offense.

Of course, this is directly related to the team's midfield organizer being injured and stretched.

But it is not difficult to see that this is Simeone's intention to exploit Tang Zheng's ability to organize and attack, and he is even willing to take certain achievements as the price...

Tang Zheng did not disappoint Simeone, and sent a precise long pass in the eighth minute of the game. The football accurately found Bonannot, who was plugging in at high speed from the left. The latter looked up at the penalty area, and then directly swept the ball. In the penalty area, Falcao has been in an extremely hot state this season. He rushed the ball into the goal before the opponent's central defender.

The river plate at home leads 1:0.

The goal scored in less than ten minutes of the game was a dream start for the River Plate fans in the stands.

Hearing the cheers from the stands, Pastore was very upset. His brows were deeply frowned. Just now before Tang Zheng sent a precise long pass, he had passed him and sent it. Torre has a certain relationship...
