Midfielder Ruler

As the game is about to start, the noise from the stands has decreased, but the group of 12 die-hard Boca fans in the Blue Fairy Tale Stand is still full of passion and high morale, as if they have inexhaustible power.

They held up the fans' scarves, pulled their throats high, and sang the Boca team song Himno-de-Boca-Juniors hysterically: "Boca Juniors, Boca Juniors, you are a great football champion, who awakened your love, passion and confidence , on our breasts, your golden and blue banners are the signs of unfurling victory..."

Tang Zheng was standing on the left side of the arc in the middle circle of his own side, and his partner Poncio was on the other side. Hearing the loud and clear singing in the stands, he felt a little unhappy, so he took a mouthful of saliva, and then spat on the grass.

At this moment, accompanied by the loud and clear singing of Boca fans in the stands, the Argentine golden whistle Elizondo blew the whistle in his mouth vigorously.

"Beep!"

Sebastian Pablo kicked the football under his feet to his striker partner Falcao. Boca Juniors strikers Palermo and Palacio, like tigers descending from the mountain, rushed towards Falcao who received the ball.

Although Falcao is only 22 years old this year, he has rich experience in the Argentine League. He has also participated in many Argentine national derbies in the past, so he passed the ball to Tang Zheng unhurriedly.

At the same time, Duan Xuan, a CCTV commentator who temporarily became the 13th round of the 2008 Argentine League Autumn League, gave a standard CCTV line: "China Central Television, CCTV, welcome viewers and friends to watch this round of the 13th round of the Argentine League Autumn League. The live broadcast of the focus match, River Plate's away game against Boca Juniors has already begun, they are wearing traditional jerseys with white and diagonal red buffer strips, black shorts, attacking from the left to the right of the screen..."

When the football reached Tang Zheng's feet, Palacio and Palermo didn't stop, but turned a corner and sped up.

Facing Palacio and Palermo, who were about to hit the goal with two ghosts, Tang Zheng unhurriedly passed the ball back to the central defender Cabral, and then continued to retreat, creating enough space and distance to respond Cabral.

But Cabral didn't have Tang Zheng's big heart. He was afraid that if he made a mistake, Palermo or Palacio would steal the ball, so he directly kicked the incoming ball, and the football flew towards the Boca Juniors half.

Diego Simeone was a little dissatisfied with Cabral's choice, but he couldn't vent it out. After all, as a central defender, Cabral had his own contingency plan. Front opening is also understandable choice.

The fans of the home team in the stands saw that Cabral was frightened and sent the ball to the frontcourt, and they burst out a huge burst of laughter very cooperatively.

"Damn it!" Cabral's face was ugly, and he spit out in dissatisfaction.

Tang Zheng turned around and patted Cabral's shoulder, and said with a serious face: "Gustavo, don't pay attention to things outside the arena, don't forget that there is me in front of you, whether you are attacking or defending! "

Cabral looked up at Tang Zheng, and when he was about to say something, Tang Zheng had already turned around and left. He looked at Tang Zheng's back with some emotion. Although he only transferred to River Plate at the end of last year, his experience in games was comparable to that of Tang Zheng. Tang Zheng was much more, but Tang Zheng was able to behave so calmly in this fierce national derby, which made him admire...

Cabral's big-footed clearance ruined River Plate's chance of possession, and Boca Juniors, who got the chance of possession, slowly passed the ball forward to organize the attack.

※※※

The Boca Juniors playing at home are more aggressive than the River Plate formation as a guest. They have a four-three-three formation, with four defenders lined up, double midfielder Banega and Bataglia. , the front midfielder is Riquelme, and the three forwards are Datolo, Palermo and Palacio.

Due to the reason of the away game, the formation of River Plate is a relatively conservative 442 formation, but in terms of resilience, River Plate should not be underestimated.

The four defenders are lined up, the midfielder is Tang Zheng and Poncio partnering double midfielders, Bonannot and Mauro Rosales are on the left and right, and Uruguayan veteran Sebastian Abreu is on top. In the front, Falcao looked for opportunities behind him.

Except for the slow speed of Abreu who is at the top, Falcao, Mauro Rosales and Bonannot are all very fast and are good players for quick counterattacks.

As for the home team, because of the core midfielder Riquelme, their offensive rhythm will not be very fast, but the head coach Carlos Ischia has a lot of ideas. Palermo and Palacio have both on the front line. Strong ability to compete for the top of the penalty area.

As long as Riquelme can control the ball at his feet and send the ball to the wing, the 'crazy' Palermo and Palacimo can try to attack the river plate's defense.

Of course, Diego Simeone had thought of this a long time ago, so he put Tang Zheng and Poncio, who are currently the most defensive in the team, in the middle, in order to limit Riquelme's performance.

Riquelme, who is about to turn 30, is definitely not as fast as before. As long as Tang Zheng and Poncio seize the opportunity to steal the ball, it will be an excellent quick counterattack.

What Diego Simeone can think of, Carlos Ischia, who has more coaching experience, can't think of it?

In other words, all coaches know Riquelme's technical characteristics, and they also know that restricting Riquelme is equal to winning half of the game, but looking at Riquelme's career so far, the players who can freeze him are Very few.

In addition, the venue for this national derby is the Candy Box Stadium. Here... Boca Juniors' combat effectiveness will be enhanced under the almost crazy cheers of the fans.

Boca Juniors, who were playing at home, had a very clear advantage under the crazy cheers of the fans. In the opening five minutes, River Plate almost defended in its own 40-meter defensive area for most of the time.

Even if there is a chance to counterattack, there will be a situation of footstep mistakes under the overwhelming boos, thus losing the opportunity to counterattack quickly.

Tang Zheng's defensive pressure in the middle is very heavy. Before the game, he has studied Riquelme deeply. Although his foot speed is slower than when he was young, Tang Zheng wants to learn from Riquelme. It's really hard to steal the ball under his feet.

※※※

With Riquelme on the court, Banega can give full play to his strengths - he can enter and participate in the attack.

This time, Tang Zheng was defending Riquelme from the front. The latter glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Banega, who was plugging in behind, and pulled the ball back and forth with his feet. Playing a time difference, the ball was passed to Banega who drove in from behind.

"Beautiful!" Leonardo, the commentator of Argentina's national TV five, shouted suddenly after seeing Riquelme use the change of rhythm to pass the ball to Banega.

More than 40,000 Boca fans at the scene erupted into a huge cheer at the same time. Banega, who had long wanted to fight Tang Zheng, seemed to be excited. He moved the ball forward, taking advantage of the space and distance, and prepared to live Go to Tang Zheng.

The fundamental reason why Boca Juniors, who sit at home, adopt the tactics of front midfielder and double midfielder is that Banega has a very strong ability to penetrate from the back and can open up the situation when the game is stuck in a stalemate.

However, what is unexpected is that Tang Zheng's instant reaction ability is very powerful...

Riquelme's drop ball did affect Tang Zheng's judgment, but it was actually negligible.

In fact, Tang Zheng had observed his running position from the corner of his eye long before Banega stepped in to participate in the attack, so he was able to make an accurate prediction at the first time.

The dribble method chosen by Banega is simple and practical. Tang Zheng often used this tactic when he was a striker before, so he knew how to defend this tactic after he was familiar with the position of the midfielder.

Tang Zheng was tall and long-legged, and made a decisive defensive move almost the moment Bane added the ball.

The toes of his left foot kicked towards the ground, and at the same time, he twisted his waist and moved his body nearly forty-five degrees to the left. The long right leg stretched forward, coupled with the reaction force transmitted from the ground, he The body moves forward and quickly shortens the distance from the football.

Banega originally wanted to stop and take the ball to lie past Tang Zheng, but he never expected that Tang Zheng's reaction would be so fast, and it was obviously too late to touch the ball again in disguise.

In order to avoid injury himself, he had to jump up and relinquish control of the football.

TYC Sports TV commentator Abel Claudio sat in the live studio and saw this scene, his voice suddenly raised an octave, and shouted: "Beautiful tackle!!"

"Good shot!" CCTV commentator Duan Xuan saw the number 31 behind him, and his voice was full of surprise: "This is... Tang Zheng! The 18-year-old Tang Zheng from our country completed the first wonderful goal in the audience. Tackle and keep the ball!"

ESPN announcer Mike Gervin jumped up from his seat and shouted: "Whoa, what a beautiful tackle!"

Tang Zheng, who fell to the ground and left the ball under his feet, did not stick to the ball. He swept the ball to Falcao who retreated to respond when he fell to the ground. It was quickly passed to the right winger Mauro Rosales.

After the river plate steals the ball in the backcourt, he quickly passed it with a kick, and quickly launched a quick counterattack.

Boca fans in the stands erupted into a huge booing, trying to disrupt Mauro Rosales' dribbling rhythm.

But Mauro Rosales has quite a lot of game experience, how can he be easily disturbed by the home team fans in the stands?

Diego Simeone, who was standing in the coach's command area of ​​the visiting team, took half a step forward and looked at the defensive backcourt of Boca Juniors. Sebastian Abreu was at the front to contain the two central defenders of Boca Bonanot cut in at high speed on the left wing, followed by Falcao with his thigh at high speed behind Abreu.

In other words... there is something to be said for this quick counterattack!
