Tang Zheng followed assistant coach Jorge Gortillo to the training bench, and head coach Diego Simeone stood with his hands in his hands and looked at him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Out of politeness, Tang Zheng took the lead and said, "Hey, boss." ”

Diego Simeone tapped his chin with satisfaction, then patted Tang Zheng's shoulder and said with a smile: "How do you feel when you enter the starting list for tomorrow's game?"

Tang Zheng didn't answer immediately, but thought about it slightly, and then gave a reply: "To be honest, I really hope that I can make my debut in the national derby, but I have only been promoted from the youth team to the first team for less than a month, and the confidence to enter the starting line is not particularly strong, so when you say my name, it is quite unexpected, but ...... More excitement!"

"Oh?" Diego Simeone looked at him meaningfully, "excited?"

"That's right. Tang Zheng nodded, then raised his head forty-five degrees to look up at the sky, through the blue sky and white clouds, remembering the efforts of these years, he slowly spoke: "This is the opportunity I have always dreamed of, so I will cherish it extraordinarily, Chief...... We're going to beat Boca Juniors, definitely!"

After finishing speaking, Tang Zheng clenched his fists, and his expression was extremely firm.

Facing Tang Zheng's sudden change in expression, Diego Simeone was a little stunned, his biggest expectation for this game is to keep the draw, and the victory is just an extension of the game, after all, there are many injuries in the team now, Ortega, Alcupi, Fernandez......

It's good to win, but the first thing you need to consider on the road is defense, otherwise you won't put Tang Zheng in the starting lineup.

But then again, isn't the true meaning of sports all about trying your best to win?

Maybe with the integration of Tang Zheng's fresh blood, there will be unexpected results?

Diego Simeone faced Tang Zheng and stretched out his right hand: "Don, wish you victory in the next national derby!"

Tang Zheng reacted quickly, stretched out his right hand to meet him, and held it hard: "Sure! Victory belongs to the riverbed!"

Jorge Goltilo stood on the sidelines and watched the conversation between Diego Simeone and Tang Zheng, especially Tang Zheng's mental outlook and attitude towards the game.

The national derby is a game that cannot be lost, and it must be won with a belief that it must be won!

Yes, victory...... Belong to River Plate!

When Tang Zheng returned to the locker room to take a shower, he received a call from his agent Fibino Rodrigo, which probably meant that if he had the opportunity to play in the next national derby, he must firmly grasp it.

Now Tang Zheng has played three games in the first team, and his performance is obvious to all, and his potential is unlimited.

If the next national derby is still good, then Fibino Rodrigo can negotiate a new contract with the club, after all, Tang Zheng is still on a contract with the youth team, and there is a serious imbalance between pay and income.

Tang Zheng thinks about it, with a monthly salary of about 1,500 US dollars, when will he be able to meet his parents' desire to buy a house and a car?

So he replied very simply: "Okay, no problem." ”

Originally, Tang Zheng was going to tell Fibino Rodrigo the good news about his start, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it, after all, this is a secret of the team's employment, and it is not suitable for announcement.

Tang Zheng believes that in addition to recognizing his own strength, Tang Zheng also considered that Boca Juniors would not expect him to start, and he would definitely let the team take the initiative at that time.

He took a brief shower in the bathroom of the locker room, then packed up his equipment and followed the team to the team bus to the hotel.

In order to avoid disruption from Boca fans, River Plate chose the five-star Alvear Art Hotel in the Capital District and waited until three hours before tomorrow's match to set off for the Candy Box Stadium in Boca.

As soon as the team bus arrived at the entrance of the hotel, reporters who had been waiting for a long time swarmed around it.

On the periphery, there were also quite a few fans wearing River Plate jerseys, who stood on the periphery holding banners and slogans.

Falcao, as the team's new thigh, is the most popular, and almost all the banners, slogans or huge posters held by most fans are related to him.

Tang Zheng looked out through the window of the bus, and after scanning a large circle, he didn't find anything related to him.

Rain on someone's parade!

But Tang Zheng was not discouraged, but looked at these fans holding banners and slogans and secretly vowed that one day, I would see banners, slogans and huge posters related to me everywhere.

"May I ask Mr. Simeone, how did you feel about leading the team to the Argentine National Super Derby for the first time?"

"Will the draw in the first leg of the 1/8 final of the Copa Libertadores affect tomorrow's game?"

"Mr. Simeone, don't go...... I wonder if you're going to be attacking or defending tomorrow?"

"Candy Box is the world-famous home of hell, are you ready?"

……

As the bus doors slowly opened, reporters stood outside the double-layer human wall formed by hotel security personnel to ask various questions.

As if he hadn't heard anything, Diego Simeone walked through the double walls to the hotel lobby.

Tang Zheng wanted to be interviewed by the media when he followed Diego Bonanotte out of the bus door, but the other party did not pay attention to him at all.

"It's really visionless!" Tang Zheng pursed his lips and muttered to himself, venting his dissatisfaction.

At the same time, in the live broadcast room of the headquarters of TYC Sports TV, the picture of all the members of River Plate walking down from the bus appeared on the LCD screen of the live broadcast room, and the beautiful host Emma Valentina standing next to the screen showed a charming smile: "Now we can see that River Plate has checked into their royal hotel, and it is less than 24 hours before tomorrow's national super derby, I don't know if everyone feels the surging ...... from the heart like me."

There are not a few TV stations that have the same live broadcast as TYC Sports TV, but the live TV stations are also fundamentally different, TYC Sports TV is headquartered in the Capital Region, and the team that pays attention to and supports is naturally River Plate, while the TV station set up in Boca District supports Boca Juniors.

Different camps focus on different teams.

But at the end of the day, the purpose of all TV stations is the same, and every second of attention is on the teams they support, waiting until the game officially begins......

At 8 p.m., as in the last three games, head coach Diego Simeone and assistant coach Jorge Galtillo organized the entire squad to the conference room provided by the hotel to explain and analyze the tactics of tomorrow's national super derby.

However, the next arrangement was a little different from the past, and someone knocked on Tang Zheng's door before resting.

Still roommate Falco is well-informed, he got up and opened the door to say hello to the psychologist, and then pointed to the middle-aged man who was not amazing and said to Tang Zheng: "This is a necessary lesson before every key battle, spiritual counseling." ”

"Spiritual counseling?"

Falcao got up and patted Tang Zheng on the shoulder: "That's right, the team hires a psychologist to talk to the players before the game according to the excitement of the players, so as to avoid the nervous and insomnia situation in major games, especially young players like you who are participating in the national derby for the first time...... Okay, I'll go out first. ”

Before Tang Zheng could speak, Falcao turned his head to the middle-aged psychologist who was about forty years old and said, "Hey, Professor Fernandez, I'll go out first, and Tang will be handed over to you......"

"Okay, no problem. ”

I have to say that before the National Super Derby, the club made corresponding solutions for every detail, but Tang Zheng was born with a big heart, and there was no tension at all, only a slight excitement.

You must know that in China, only those who have mental illnesses will chat with psychologists when they see psychiatrists, and it feels strange for Tang Zheng to receive psychiatrist spiritual counseling before this major competition.

But then again, through the conversation with the psychologist Professor Fernandez, Tang Zheng felt much happier and felt light.

So that night, Tang Zheng's sleep time was sufficient, and the quality was very good.

At eight o'clock in the morning of the next day, the whole team of River Plate had a high-quality breakfast in the hotel restaurant.

After a 90-minute break, the players went to the hotel gym under the guidance of the physical trainer to warm up for the next game in advance and feel whether their physical condition is at their peak.

Football is not only about technique, but also about the body!

Especially in key matches, intense physical confrontation is essential.

At 12 o'clock local time in Argentina, all the members of River Plate had a special lunch.

At about 1:30 p.m., the whole River Plate team boarded the team bus, and under the flashing lights of reporters and the cheers of fans, the bus slowly drove away from the hotel and rushed to the Candy Box Stadium.

At the same time, Abel Claudio, the commentator of TYC Sports TV, could not contain his excitement and said excitedly: "The River Plate bus left the hotel, and the first national super derby of 2008 has officially arrived!"

Tang Zheng, who was sitting in the back row of the bus, turned his head to look at the fans and buildings that were rapidly retreating outside the window, and slowly put on his headphones.

The first key battle of life is close at hand!
