Chapter 0165: Aren't You Nervous?

River Plate flew to Belo Horizonte for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores final after the final match against Estudiantes de La Plata at home, and in the words of coach Simeone, the past games can only be used as a reference, and it takes 90 minutes of relentless effort to win the game.

When the whole River Plate team came out of the airport, they were greeted by the Argentine media and River Plate fans who had arrived in Belo Horizonte early.

In addition to this, there are a large number of Brazilian media and Cruzeiro fans waiting at the exit.

They didn't come to welcome River Plate, on the contrary, they came to check out Cruzeiro in advance, or to influence River Plate's mood for the war.

"There is a group of idiots in white and red who come to Belo Horizonte, they are from Argentina, yes, they are all a bunch of idiots, idiots...... You see, those idiots are looking at it......"

Hundreds of Cruzeiro fans sang homemade insulting songs at the exit of the airport in order to anger the players from River Plate.

But what I didn't expect was that none of the River Plate players were disturbed, because they were wearing headphones with great sound and listening to lyrical music, and they didn't even notice the Cruzeiro fans outside the airport.

In other words, Cruzeiro fans who are trying their best are equivalent to doing useless work, which is very uncomfortable, like punching cotton with all their might.

In this regard, the Brazilian media, which has a large number of people, naturally will not let River Plate go to the hotel so easily, they blocked the way of River Plate's coach and players to the bus, and they will not let me leave if you don't give an interview.

In the absence of any other options, head coach Simeone had to give interviews to local Brazilian media, but he did not answer any questions about the team's preparation and tactics.

At the same time, there are also a lot of reporters who are surrounding Tang Zheng, who is currently in the best state of the whole team in River Plate.

However, Tang Zheng's attitude of answering made the local Brazilian reporter very dissatisfied, because he only said one sentence: "We are here to win." ā€

So the Cruzeiro fans at Belo Horizonte International Airport broke out with huge boos and sent Tang Zheng, who didn't know how thick the sky was.

Undoubtedly, it is easy to imagine the fierce reaction of the Cruzeiro players who are preparing for the first leg of the final when Tang Zheng's words reach the first leg.

A number of players claimed after training that they were going to teach Tang Zheng how to be a man during the game.

And the Argentine media are very supportive of Tang Zheng's remarks, even if the "Ole newspaper", which has always been against Tang Zheng in the past, they have to stand on the side of River Plate in the Copa Libertadores final, after all, personal grievances cannot be compared with national glory.

In the past, it was ironic that River Plate did not make it to the final, but now reaching the final is tantamount to having a hope of competing for the title.

If you still risk the world's condemnation at this time, it will be over.

Cruzeiro, like River Plate, has won the Copa Libertadores twice in its 49-year history, and this clash will determine who will win the club's third Copa Libertadores trophy and become the eighth team to win the Copa Libertadores three times.

Judging from the past record, it is natural to be inclined to River Plate, and judging from the past Copa Libertadores finals, the Argentine team has more advantages to win the championship, so the Argentine media is very supportive of Tang Zheng's statement.

Indeed, this is also the reason why the Brazilian media and Cruzeiro fans came to Belo Horizonte International Airport, but what they did not expect was that the confidence was not found, but they held their breath.

In the Internet era, the speed of information transmission is amazing, and as soon as Tang Zheng arrived at the hotel with the team, there were Cruzeiro players who refuted Tang Zheng's remarks.

It was Ramires who responded, saying: "Winning is the goal of all teams coming to the Mineiro Stadium, but it is only the goal, because in the end it will be us Cruzeiro who will win!"

The grievances between Tang Zheng and Ramirez were reported by the media as early as during the group stage of the Copa Libertadores, but Ramirez's positive response to Tang Zheng's remarks at this time is undoubtedly to regain the value of past reports.

Soon, however, the attention of the American media was drawn to a news piece from Europe that Manchester United and Real Madrid had reached an agreement to move to Real Madrid for a record €94 million.

※※※

Logically speaking, the European transfer market has little to do with the Americas, but the amount involved in this transfer is too large, and it was extremely surprising that Real Madrid bought Zidane from Juventus, but Florentino, who was in charge of Real Madrid again, directly broke the transfer fee record in 2001.

You must know that Real Madrid spent 65 million euros and 35 million euros respectively to buy Kaka and Benzema before buying Cristiano Ronaldo, adding up this income, investing infinitely close to 200 million euros, which is difficult to accept in a short period of time.

Therefore, the attention of the American media was also temporarily attracted by the European transfer market, and Tang Zheng, who was supposed to be condemned and smeared by the Brazilian media, temporarily 'escaped'.

Tang Zheng was also a lot more leisurely, and was able to focus all his energy on the first leg of the Copa Libertadores final.

At the beginning of the season, he had already set his goal of winning the Copa Libertadores, but because of the media, he had to change his goal to a double, and now the league title is in hand, and only the last Copa Libertadores remains.

If nothing else, it is very likely to land in Europe this summer, so Tang Zheng is going to win the Copa Libertadores anyway.

The night before the final, Simeone summoned all the players and coaches who had arrived in Belo Horizonte to the hotel conference room, the last tactical meeting before the game.

First, assistant coach Jorge Gortillo announced the usual starting line-up for tomorrow's final, and then tactical coach Sergi explained the tactical use of the game, strengthened the players' memories and made sure that every starter knew what to do and what to do in the game.

After the players finished digesting, Simeone, as the head coach, coughed lightly and brushed off his presence.

"There are some things that I have to explain before the game, tomorrow is the final, I hope everyone here can take the next final seriously, I don't want the first half of the first leg of the semi-final to happen again, and ...... Some of the Cruzeiro players play dirty and they will probably be taken care of by the referee when they play at home, so I hope you can keep your temper a little bit lower. ā€

Speaking of this, Simone's eyes looked at Tang Zheng: "Don, especially you." ā€

"Head, what's wrong with me?"

Tang Zheng asked with an innocent face.

Simeone glared at Tang Zheng, as if invisibly saying: You kid pretending again?

Some players looked at Tang Zheng's innocent expression, combined with the head coach's eyes, and secretly covered their mouths and smiled.

'You're the player with the most cards in our team, so I hope you can control your temper away from home, because we remember the red card at the Arena Mineiro five months ago. Since Tang Zheng wanted to pretend, Simeone simply came directly with a fatal blow.

"Ahem. Tang Zheng coughed lightly: "Actually, I'm still a very simple boy." ā€

Everyone couldn't help but laugh at this moment, including the members of the coaching staff.

"You don't just have nothing to do with me, I just hope you can control your temper in tomorrow's game, and don't want to go up and fight with others because of the opponent's physical and verbal attacks, is there a problem?"

Tang Zheng also realized the importance of tomorrow's finals, and his face became serious: "There is no problem. ā€

But he was complaining in his heart: I don't know who attacked whom.

Later, under Simeone's side, everyone also played a small game, mainly to relax the players' mood, so that they could sleep well tonight and prepare for tomorrow's final in good spirits.

At the same time, at the hotel where the entire Cruzeiro team was staying, Batista also held a pre-match tactical meeting.

He mainly aimed at Ramirez, who had conflicts with Tang Zheng in the game in the past, and hoped that he could pay attention to the control of emotions in the game.

In this regard, Ramirez naturally nodded, but complained in his heart: Damn Chinese, I will let you know that some people can't afford to mess with!

When he returned to the room, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, Tang Zheng took a hot shower, took out his mobile phone to pay attention to the recent transfer of players.

It wasn't until half past ten that Tang Zheng closed his eyes and went to sleep, and at the same time, he didn't forget to secretly encourage himself: you must perform well in the first leg of the final at Mineiro Stadium tomorrow!

With the expectation of tomorrow's final, Tang Zheng fell asleep in a daze.

But Musacchio, as a roommate, couldn't sleep, and he reluctantly turned on the bedside lamp.

Tang Zheng had already fallen asleep, but his eyelids felt dazzling, he instinctively squinted his eyes, and then stretched out his hand to block the light, until he adapted to the light, he said to Musachio who turned on the light: "What are you doing?"

"Thinking that I will start tomorrow's final, I am suddenly a little nervous, how can I break it if I can't sleep?"

Musacchio leaned against the head of the bed and shrugged his shoulders.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

Now Tang Zheng has an urge to hit people, everyone has already fallen asleep and has been woken up by Musacchio, don't you know that a good sleep can ensure a good performance in the next day's game?

"Aren't you nervous?"

Seeing that Tang Zheng did not speak, Musazio asked.

"Isn't it the Copa Libertadores final? ā€

Tang Zheng turned off the bedside lamp angrily and put the bedding on his head.

"Don, you're still not human, aren't you nervous about the first Copa Libertadores final in your life?"

Musacchio said in surprise.

"And you were nervous the first time you did it with your girlfriend?"

Tang Zheng's helpless voice came from the bed.

"God, how did you guess so accurately? I was really nervous at the time......

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

"That's right...... Were you nervous when you first had a girlfriend?"

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

"You're all men, why are you shy? Don't worry, I won't laugh at you. ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

"I don't laugh at you. ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€
