Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 46 Defensive position selection error

"Oh shit!"

Emilio felt insulted by the tall oriental man.

But he didn't respond immediately. As a veteran football player who has been on the battlefield, he knows when to bear it.

So he held back all his energy, wanting to give Tang Zheng some color in the next game time.

But sometimes the ideal is very skinny, but the reality is very cruel.

Emilio's technique is very good, but it's a pity that he met Tang Zheng who put in 100% of his fighting power, and he was disturbed by Tang Zheng's non-technical skills, his mentality was not correct enough, and the use of skills was half the result with twice the effort.

In addition, Tang Zheng was tall and had long legs, his feet moved very fast, and his physical fitness was abnormal, which made Emilio complain endlessly.

After two consecutive breakthroughs and being intercepted, Emilio no longer dared to neglect the tall Dongfang in front of him.

Even the head coach of Rosario Central off the field, Kuffaro, had to temporarily change his strategy and return the team's offensive thinking from the center to the side.

Only now did he realize that Tang Zheng, who made his debut in the top league for the first time, was not the weakest link in River Plate, but should be the strongest link!

Diego Simeone was very confident in Tang Zheng's defensive ability, so after Tang Zheng started to treat the game calmly, he returned to the coach's bench from the coach command area, then sat down and watched the game leisurely.

As the game time passed, Emilio, who indirectly caused the team to lose the ball, gradually lost his sense of composure. He was a little annoyed after Tang Zheng concealed his knee twice in an attack, and he lost his respect for football. Losing control of his emotions, he turned around and pushed Tang Zheng down.

Tang Zheng fell to the ground in response, and the referee immediately showed Emilio a yellow card.

This penalty caused extreme dissatisfaction among the home fans. Just now, it was the yellow-skinned monkey who was provoking Emilio with his despicable actions. Even if he was going to be given a yellow card, he should be Tang Zheng!

Emilio, who received a yellow card, is quite calm. Now that the team is one goal behind, if he is sent off again, he will really be the team's sinner.

Since the attack in the center is not feasible, Rosario Central's attack has to be launched from the wing, but today the double central defender partnership composed of Nicolas Sanchez and Gustavo Cabral is in excellent condition, with 9% of the Ten's pass was successfully cleared.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, the score was 0:1 and the away team took the lead.

Many of the home fans in the stands are people who understand football, and they know that the biggest culprit of the team's inability to organize the offense is Tang Zheng, who came on as a substitute for Ortega, so when Tang Zheng entered the player tunnel, there was a burst of thunder in the stands. There was a huge boo like a tsunami.

But it didn't affect Tang Zheng at all, on the contrary, it aroused his strong heart, and he was full of energy, ready to show some color to the home team.

The on-site director gave the Chilean Sanchez a close-up shot. Not only did he score the opening goal in this game, but he was also River Plate's most active offensive player in the frontcourt.

After everyone entered the locker room, assistant coach Jorge Gortillo closed the door of the locker room tightly, but because the sound insulation facilities were not particularly good, some noise from the stadium could still be heard.

However, the impact is not large.

Diego Simeone glanced at the eleven players present, he did not praise Tang Zheng, but said to all the players: "Everyone performed very well in the first half, so we should invest more in the second half The strength of the attack, Rosario Central is the opponent we must win in our plan! Is there any problem?"

"No problem!" Eleven players shouted with all their might.

"Okay, okay." Then, Diego Simeone began to explain the tactical adjustments in the second half to the players.

the end of the first half,

When the on-site director pointed the camera at Sanchez, the hero of River Plate's goal, Tang Tianhua, who was sitting in front of his laptop and watching the game, saw Tang Zheng in the lower right corner of the screen at a glance, and his pride doubled.

Liu Nian stretched his waist and looked at it in one position for half an hour. His spine would inevitably feel a little uncomfortable.

Yang Cheng yawned because he was overworked last night, and then said to Liu Nian: "Xiao Liu, I dozed off, wake me up when the game starts."

The referee on duty blew the whistle to start the second half. Although the home team Rosario Central had the kick-off advantage, they did not invest many troops in the offense. Obviously, they were afraid of River Plate's counterattack speed and efficiency.

After Diego Simeone came out of the player tunnel, he sat on the coach's bench, watched the game calmly, and even crossed his legs leisurely, as if he was watching a concert now.

In the blink of an eye, ten minutes into the second half passed without any change in the score, and the away River Plate led the home team Rosario Central.

During this period of time, River Plate turned away from the hosts. With their advantage in strength, they suppressed the home team in their own half.

Tang Zheng's work on the field is in accordance with Diego Simeone's adjustment arrangement during the halftime break-in charge of the direction of the team's attack in the midfield.

Rosario Central completely handed over the initiative in the game, but the fans of the home team in the stands did not express their dissatisfaction. After all, there is a big gap in strength. Facing the giant River Plate, which has won the most A League titles, passive defense is not shameful.

Anyway, the game is like this, either attack or defend.

Emilio, who played a certain role in the first half, was useless in the second half, so he was replaced soon.

This substitution has a great effect on the home team. Although the new little man's foot skills are not as fancy as Emilio's, the victory lies in his fast enough speed. For Rosario Central who gave up the initiative in the game It's a good complement.

Tang Zheng suffered a bit from a quick counterattack by the home team, the speed of this little guy was really too fast.

If Cabral hadn't grabbed the ball and kicked the ball out of the sideline in time, the defense would have been dangerous this time.

After observing for a period of time, Tang Zheng figured out the opponent's counterattack point. Every time he chose a position very well, he always appeared at the first point of the opponent's counterattack, killing the home team's counterattack in the cradle.

Seeing that it was 20 minutes into the second half, Diego Simeone, who had been sitting on the coach's bench, finally couldn't sit still. He walked to the sidelines and made a gesture of pressing down his hands at Domingo, signaling to slow down the attack. hit rate.

But no matter how carefully you pass the ball forward, there will always be a shot, right?

In the 67th minute of the game, Falcao headed the left-back Ferrari's cross to the goal. It was a pity that the head was a bit straight, and the football was easily taken by the opponent's goalkeeper.

The goalkeeper no longer pretended to lie on the ground holding the football to waste the game time as before, but rushed forward with a stride, throwing the football far away with the power brought by the run-up.

"Oops!"

At this moment, Tang Zheng was still attacking the 40-meter zone, and he was shocked when he saw the direction of the goalkeeper's hand throwing the ball.

Rosario Central's quick counterattack was more concise than River Plate's first goal. After passing the football with two feet, it reached the feet of the striker who had just played for a short time.

Soon, the Aroito Giants stadium was boiling.

Because... the home team equalized the score!

Tang Zheng, who had returned to the top of the penalty area, looked very helpless. Just now when Ferrari stepped forward to participate in the attack, he should have leaned to the left, but he was confused by the home team's complete weakness, thinking that Rosario Central would not play again. fight back.

Inexperienced, Tang Zheng was blinded by the interests in front of him.

TCY Sports TV commentator Abel Claudio pointed out the key point: "Although River Plate's conceded the ball was due to the full-back being too high, if the responsible person is to be held accountable, Tang, who came off the bench, must bear some responsibility. , The defensive midfielder...filling the space of the full-back is a compulsory course for the defensive midfielder, in the final analysis...it is the lack of game experience."

Regarding this result, Diego Simeone had no choice. The full-backs were instructed by him to assist. Tang Zheng who made a mistake.

The home team equalized the score, which greatly encouraged the home team fans. They burst into huge cheers and gave them to the eleven warriors on the field.

Relying on the explosive momentum of the home fans, Rosario Central's ground attack began to become sharper, and even once suppressed the river plate like it did in the first half.

Diego Simeone realizes he needs to make some adjustments to the lineup, otherwise the game will be dangerous

So without any hesitation, he looked towards the bench...
