Midfielder Ruler

Chapter Fifty-third

(PS: Thanks to Lin Yao, vice chairman of the Football Association, for the reward of 1,000 starting coins, so cool!)

Tang Zheng turned his head and glanced at Dalisandro, who had a grim expression because of celebrating the goal, and curled his lips a little in his heart.

"damn it!"

The head coach of the visiting team, Diego Simeone, who was standing on the sidelines, shook his arm angrily. Now the score has become 2:0, which means that there is no way out now.

So he pushed Falcao forward and said at the same time: "Romedal, your task is very simple, that is... to score goals! Is there any problem?"

"Head, of course it's okay!" Falcao patted his chest to reassure, and gave Diego Simeone an 'OK' gesture.

While Dalisandro was still celebrating his goal, Falcao, River's top scorer, stood next to the fourth official, waiting to come on.

At this time, the on-site director gave Falcao a close-up shot.

Countless narrators tacitly said: "The strongest killer is finally here!"

Falcao only scored two goals in 15 games in the spring league last year, but with Diego Simeone taking over River Plate and holding his instruction manual, his state was fully activated. In the ten games of the autumn league Scored eight goals and scored six goals in six Copa Libertadores games, a huge improvement.

However, Falcao knows that all this is the credit of coach Diego Simeone, who gave himself the confidence as a striker.

Now that the team is two goals behind, Falcao was ordered to swear secretly that he must score a goal!

After Falcao entered the field, he didn't go directly to the kick-off, but ran to the backcourt, covered his mouth in front of Tang Zheng and said: "Tang, the defense must pay attention to standing still, Dalisandro's ability is too strong, we must Know how to cooperate with teammates... Also, if you have the opportunity, give me a long pass... Follow our extra training, watch gestures, OK?"

Tang Zheng looked at Falcao and nodded, then returned an OK gesture.

The team's second conceded goal was directly related to him, so he had long been suffocating and wanted to make up for it.

The game restarted, and with Falcao playing, River Plate's offense has obviously risen to a higher level.

After all, Falcao's progress in the autumn league is quite obvious, and he is no longer the shooting king of the spring league.

Now he can effectively attract multiple defensive players and give his frontcourt teammates more space to attack.

San Lorenzo head coach Pablo looked at the game time. The game has reached the 63rd minute, which means that the regular time is less than 30 minutes.

With two goal difference against River Plate at home, it's time for Mingjin to retreat and shrink the defense!

If as expected, River Plate, which is two goals behind, will definitely increase its offensive efforts. Now shrinking the defense, maybe there will be unexpected gains!

Soon, San Lorenzo made substitution adjustments, replacing a full-back with a defensive midfielder.

The intention of the substitution is quite obvious, that is to hope to stabilize the defense and win the River Plate by two goals at home, which is enough.

And shrinking the defense does not mean giving up the offense, it just hides the offense in the defense, and when the opportunity comes, give River Plate a fatal blow!

Both Dalisandro and Bernardo Romeo have the ability to rewrite the score.

Diego Simeone couldn't see Pablo's tactical intentions, but many times he had no choice but to step on it even though he knew it was a trap.

※※※

With the change of San Lorenzo's tactics, Tang Zheng's defensive pressure in the midfield has been significantly reduced, while the River Plate players in the away game have gradually increased their time to hold the ball, but at the same time, Domingo's organizational pressure in the frontcourt has become more and more intense. big.

So Tang Zheng stepped forward to take the initiative to share Domingo's pressure, but his ability to organize offense is limited, and he mostly divides the ball in the frontcourt, or makes a long pass to divert.

Having said that, I have to mention that Tang Zheng's transfer was very timely.

Sometimes the team's offense relies too much on Rosales on the right, causing San Lorenzo's defense to hit on the left. At this time, Tang Zheng's role in getting the ball is reflected, and his right foot is precise. It is fast and accurate, and can accurately find Sanchez who is active on the left.

In the 71st minute, after Tang Zheng received a pass from Domingo, he moved quickly. Sanchez got the ball from the left and went straight to the bottom. With Falcao in place, he made a cross. Interference, his header is likely to knock on the opponent's door.

Falcao, who failed to score a goal, tugged at his long hair vigorously, looking very regretful.

As soon as the tactical change was made, the team was in danger. Pablo was very dissatisfied and kept roaring on the sidelines.

But the game is like this, the defense must be very passive.

If you want to gain an advantage in partial defense, you must use more to defend against less, but in this situation, if you encounter a team that likes to use the width of the court, it will be very painful.

Just like the current River Plate, with Tang Zheng, a midfielder who can transfer precise long passes, the width of the pitch can be fully utilized.

"Damn it!" Pablo kicked the water bottle by his feet angrily, and then yelled at the assistant: "How did you collect the data? Why didn't the other party have a player with an accurate long pass? You know that this will make the team How passive? Huh??"

His assistant was scolded bloody, and he dared not refute.

But Pablo also knew that the deal was done, and too much blame was useless, so he simply shouted at Dalisandro: "'Big head', pay attention to the opponent's No. 31 when defending!"

Dalisandro nodded, and then looked at his junior brother Tang Zheng who had been bullied by him before and couldn't hold his head up, feeling a little dissatisfied with the head coach's arrangement.

Does that kid just have a precise long pass?

Is it necessary to make yourself so effective on the defensive end?

You must know that you have the strength to enter Longtan alone, and it is not impossible to expand the score.

But having said that, the head coach's tactical arrangements must be followed, otherwise... who would dare to use him in the future?

※※※

The football was passed to Tang Zheng's feet again, this time Dalisandro rushed up, Tang Zheng unhurriedly moved his body to the right to protect the football, blocking Dalisandro behind him, and then passed the ball to the full-back Ferra inside.

After passing several kicks in a row, the football came to Tang Zheng's feet again. Dalisandro's ability to move laterally was very strong. With a poke of Tang Zheng's toe, he quickly handed the ball to Domingo who ran out of space.

But Domingo encountered a double-team as soon as he received the football, so he had to pass the ball back to Poncio.

River Plate's continuous passing was disturbed and hindered, and the offensive deterrence plummeted. This made Pablo quite proud. He just made a simple tactical change and made the team's defense impregnable.

With Dalisandro's active defense, Tang Zheng's role in diverting the ball was minimized, but Diego Simeone, who was standing on the sidelines, had no choice but to rely on the star player's flashes for the time being.

Tang Zheng encountered continuous interference from Dalisandro, he did not choose to pass the ball hastily, but gave the ball to his teammates safely.

From the perspective of the midfielder, this is no problem, but it seriously affects the development of the team's normal offensive routines.

So Tang Zheng was thinking, should he retreat a bit, so that the farther he is from the goal, he believes that Dalisandro will not continue to follow him.

He is very aware of the inertia of Argentine offensive players.

Anyway, the team formed a siege, Tang Zheng simply greeted Ponceo, and the two changed positions.

Sure enough, Tang Zheng, who came to the center arc, did not meet Dalisandro's defense, he could distribute and transfer the ball calmly.

However, a new problem has emerged. Too far away from the goal means that it is farther away from the players on the front line. Football needs time to fly in the air.

The greater the distance, the longer the flight time.

Thus, Tang Zheng made a gesture towards Falcao that only two of them could understand.

Falcao, who was standing on the line of the restricted area, nodded and gave a high thumbs up to show his understanding.

※※※

Tang Zheng came to San Lorenzo to attack in series, but the distance was farther from the goal. Pablo came up with a corresponding countermeasure. He signaled the back line to press forward—to cause offside.

Indeed, at the beginning, Tang Zheng's long pass to Rosales and Sanchez was made offside, which made Tang Zheng hesitate after taking the ball.

Taking advantage of a corner kick, Tang Zheng grabbed Falcao and Sanchez, covered his mouth, and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Romedal, you are the opponent's main target. I think it's very uncomfortable to pass the ball directly to you." Reality, how about you cover for Alexis?"

Hearing this, Falcao did not show any dissatisfaction, but his eyes lit up: "Okay, I have no problem."

Tang Zheng clapped his hands and cheered Falcao and Sanchez: "Then follow our training, OK?"

"OK!"

Falcao and Sanchez returned an 'ok' gesture at the same time.

Although Diego Simeone standing on the sidelines couldn't understand what Tang Zheng was pulling Falcao and Sanchez to say, he had a premonition that the team's offense would change.

In the seventy-eighth minute, Tang Zheng received a pass from Domingo on the right about 45 meters away from the baseline. Falcao, who was at the top, suddenly accelerated, causing the two central defenders to retreat instinctively. Half a step away, but after thinking about it, Falcao was already standing in an offside position. Even if he caught the ball, it would be offside, so he stopped.

Similarly, Falcao just made a false start, and Tang Zheng, who was holding the ball, didn't pass the ball either.

But what the two central defenders didn't expect was that they took half a step back, which exposed serious problems in the entire defensive system.

Seeing that no one stepped forward to defend, Tang Zheng directly kicked a long pass.

This pass is lower and flies faster than the previous transfer.

At the same time, Falcao accelerated forward violently, and the two central defenders stopped instinctively, raised their right arms, and signaled Falcao to be offside.

However, what they didn't expect was that Falcao didn't run in a straight line after accelerating, but...turned a corner and ran towards the space between the left center back and the left back.

Falcao is not on the trajectory of football. In the latest offside rules, he is not offside.

The linesman will naturally not raise the flag.

This... what the hell?

"Replenish defense! Idiot!!"

Just when the two central defenders were baffled, right back Placente's exclamation suddenly sounded.

When TYC Sports TV commentator Abel Claudio saw the football flying towards the high-speed forward running route of Sanchez from the camera, he suddenly shouted: "...a good ball!"
