Midfielder Ruler

The speed of communication in the Internet age is beyond imagination. In just one night, Tang Zheng became the football player most concerned by Chinese fans.

Xu Wei, the person in charge of "Sports Weekly" in international football, was also one of them. Looking at Tang Zheng's name and photo, he felt more and more familiar.

Suddenly, he remembered that more than two months ago, the international student he hired on the Internet who specialized in translating the "Clarion" seemed to have sent him several reports, and two of them were about Tang Zheng. I put all my thoughts on the Champions League, and then I forgot about it...

If you started to follow Tang Zheng at that time, then the sports.com, which was launched only yesterday morning, would cause a huge sensation, and it would be just around the corner to become the largest sports portal in the country.

Hey……

Lost a chance to advance in vain.

But then again, now that Tang Zheng is only making an appearance in the 1/8 finals of the Copa Libertadores, I believe that his peers will gradually regain their senses after a short sensation. Whether it's a horse or a donkey, you won't know until you come out for a walk.

But Xu Wei is different, he has intelligence agents in Buenos Aires, and he has some simple information on Tang Zheng in the past.

Thinking of this, Xu Wei quickly turned on the computer and logged into the mailbox.

The first letter in the mailbox was the report on the eight games in the first round of the Copa Libertadores 1/8 final sent by intelligence agent Lin Hanyan. In the article, Tang Zheng, a Chinese player who played for River Plate, was mentioned.

But these were not what Xu Wei wanted, and he continued to turn the pages.

Soon, he found some information about Tang Zheng sent by intelligence agent Lin Hanyan.

"Definitely a new star worth looking forward to!"

Xu Wei's brief summary shows that Tang Zheng's future should not be underestimated based on his years of professional sensitivity.

So, he immediately took out his mobile phone and made an overseas call, regardless of the time difference.

"Hi, Hanyan...I'm Uncle Xu." As soon as the call was connected, Xu Wei couldn't wait to say, but after waiting for a long time, no one spoke, so he frowned and shouted twice: "Hanyan? Han cigarette?"

"Ah? Uncle Xu! I'm sorry, I just fell asleep, Hajiu..."

Xu Wei looked at his watch with a guilty conscience. It was two o'clock in the afternoon. According to the time difference, the time in Argentina should be... one o'clock in the morning, right?

Seeing that there was no voice on the phone, Lin Hanyan called out in a daze, "Uncle Xu?"

"Uh..." Xu Wei was still embarrassed by disturbing the little girl's sleep regardless of jet lag, but immediately returned to normal after hearing Lin Hanyan's shout: "I'm here, I just want you to help me collect more Tang Zheng’s information is best obtained through an exclusive interview.”

"Huh? Tang Zheng's exclusive interview? I think I sent it to you last week."

"Have you posted it?" Xu Wei said while moving the mouse, "What's the title?"

"Title? I forgot... Anyway, it was only last week, take your time to find it, I'm so sleepy..." Lin Hanyan yawned and hung up the phone directly.

Xu Wei put down the phone helplessly, and then browsed through the emails that Lin Hanyan had sent over the past two months. There were many reports about Tang Zheng in the emails. There was indeed an exclusive email about Tang Zheng’s exclusive interview a week ago, but It's a pity that what Tang Zheng accepted was an exclusive interview with "The Horn", but this had little effect.

Anyway, it is not once or twice to learn from the news of the "Clarion", and it is not so bad.

So the headline of "Sports News" that I met with you on Thursday was not Manchester United and Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League final. Tang Zheng unexpectedly dominated the headlines.

※※※

Tang Zheng never expected that he would cause a huge sensation in the country just by contributing an assist and an attack plan in the first round of the Libertadores Cup 1/8 finals. At this time, his mind was completely focused on training.

Because the Argentine national derby is coming!

In fact, Tang Zheng's amazing performance in the 1/8 finals of the Copa Libertadores can replace the headlines of the UEFA Champions League finals.

It has a lot to do with the national feelings and social responsibility of "Sports Weekly".

Football is the number one sport in the world today. As a Chinese, no one does not hope that football in their country can keep pace with the development of world football.

Now among the Chinese players studying abroad, none of them can make a move, but Tang Zheng is different. His team is River Plate, a top club in South America.

Even in world football, the influence is very large.

Of course, the reason why "Sports Weekly" put Tang Zheng in the headlines was not entirely because of Tang Zheng's outstanding performance in the Copa Libertadores, part of the reason was because of the extremely valuable match that would be held next weekend.

Boca Juniors vs River Plate

According to the fact that Tang Zheng had the chance to appear as a substitute in consecutive matches in River Plate, in the Clasico against Boca Juniors that weekend, not to mention 100% that he would come off the bench, there was at least an 80% chance.

And this is still a guaranteed guess. Now River Plate's available players in the midfield can be said to be stretched. Diego Simeone, who has always paid attention to defense, will definitely give priority to defense when playing Boca Juniors away.

In the past, "Clarion" had reported many times that Tang Zheng's defensive ability was excellent even in River Plate's first team, which is why Xu Wei strongly recommended Tang Zheng's news to be put on the headline of the Thursday edition of "Sports Weekly".

Driven by the "Sports Weekly" and online media, more and more fans have begun to look forward to the Argentine national derby at the Candy Box Stadium on the weekend. CCTV 5, which has the exclusive rights to broadcast the A League, bears the brunt, and the customer service calls are almost blocked. blow up.

All are centered around the weekend's Argentine National Derby, and I hope CCTV will broadcast the weekend's game.

The leadership of CCTV Five reacted very quickly and held a small meeting within the shortest possible time to study the possibility of broadcasting the 13th round of the 2008 Argentine Autumn League 13 national derby broadcast.

After a short discussion, it is not impossible to rebroadcast the league matches between Boca Juniors and River Plate. Anyway, the exclusive broadcast agreement will not end until the end of 2008, but the question is whether Tang Zheng will play, will he be the starter? Or substitute?

How long will you play as a substitute?

These issues must be taken into consideration, otherwise it will be difficult for advertisers to explain, after all, the reputation of Chinese football is too bad now.

Therefore, the topic of rebroadcasting Boca Juniors and River Plate was temporarily put on hold, and it was finally decided whether to rebroadcast it after the news was confirmed.

Playing Boca Juniors in the away game is very stressful for Diego Simeone. Many generals in the midfield are exempt from the game. Compare……

Oscar Ahumada has just returned from injury, and his condition is not good. In the 1/8 final of the Copa Libertadores away game against San Lorenzo, it can be easily seen that his condition is still adjusting, that is to say In the midfield, only Poncio, Domingo, Aveleras and Tang Zheng can be used with confidence.

In addition, the away game must first stabilize the defense. In order to ensure the defensive level in the middle, two defensive midfielders must be placed in front of the central defender.

But is this really possible?

Diego Simeone couldn't make up his mind, so he turned his head and said to his assistant Jorge Gortillo: "You said... the guest game in the candy box should be the main defense? Or should it be head-to-head?"

Jorge Gortillo hesitated for a moment, and gave the answer: "In an away game, you must hold your ground. The noise made by that stadium is very troublesome."

Indeed, the unique design of the Candy Box Stadium will make visiting players feel like they have entered hell.

There is nothing wrong with defending first.

The goalkeeper and the defense will not make changes easily without injuries. The only thing that makes Diego Simeone hesitant is the pair of midfielders.

Poncio, who has been in excellent form recently, naturally occupies an absolute main position, so who should Poncio choose as his partner?

Domingo? Abelleiras?

Or... Tang Zheng?

Domingo's physical condition is not very ideal, it is difficult to last 90 minutes of the game, and his defensive ability is not strong, Aveleras' defensive stability is not strong, and he is prone to mistakes.

In other words... Only Tang Zheng was left to consider.

Thinking of this, Diego Simeone looked at the training ground and said, "You said, how about putting Tang in the starting lineup of the weekend league?"

Jorge Gorti froze for a moment, and blurted out: "Isn't it too risky?"

Diego Simeone was not surprised by the assistant's exaggerated reaction, but patiently gave his own analysis and ideas.

"Such a choice is fine, but we don't know if Don will be out of order due to the pressure of the game." After listening to Diego Simeone's analysis, Jorge Gortillo said with some concern.

Diego Simeone smiled, pointed to Tang Zheng who was meticulous in defense and said, "No, he has a big heart."

"I hope so!"

Even if Tang Zheng thought about it, he would never have imagined that he, who originally only wanted to enter the 18-man roster of the Argentine National Derby, would actually enter the 11-man starting roster in the mind of head coach Diego Simeone...
