In the 13th round of the 2008 La Liga Autumn League, Boca Juniors hosted their century-old rivals River Plate, and this match was the 248th meeting in their history. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the last 247 meetings, River Plate have a slight advantage with 92 wins, 66 draws and 89 defeats.

However, in recent seasons, it has been Boca Juniors who have the upper hand in the two sides, which is one of the reasons why Boca Juniors playing at home are favored by major bookmakers.

The odds of a home win are 1:2.36, a draw is 1:2.98, and a home loss is 1:3.02

Tang Zheng listened to the odds analysis of a radio station, and he took off his headphones dissatisfied.

Falco, who was sitting next to him, closed his eyes and listened to the music, obviously recuperating.

The other teammates on the bus were not much different, and they basically listened to music to relieve their pre-race tension.

"Shhhh

About half an hour later, a tsunami-like boos erupted outside the bus.

Tang Zheng instinctively looked out the window, the dense Boca fans roared hysterically at the bus, and all kinds of insults came out one after another, but the soundproofing facilities of the bus were okay, unless the decibel was particularly high, it was difficult for other sounds to come in from outside the window.

Listening to the boos of the Boca fans, Tang Zheng was a little irritable, so he put on his headphones again.

This time, he no longer listened to the radio station, but the stored music on his mobile phone, the Cantonese version of the theme song of an RB anime "Kick Out of My World", which he once liked very much.

"Kick Out of My World" tells the story of an RB high school forward who pursues his dreams.

In the past, Tang Zheng's position was a striker, so listening to this song can resonate, although the position has changed now, but the habits he has developed are difficult to change.

And Tang Zheng always feels like his whole body is boiling every time he hears this song, so he doesn't continue to change music.

As a burst of passionate music sounded, Tang Zheng slowly closed his eyes and devoted himself wholeheartedly to this divine comedy.

“…… Showing off your skills, and you wrote it in my diary, I remember, I became a confidant that day, tried to fall, and I was still able to stand up before the end of the game...... Continue to go up, go all out, not afraid of how exaggerated each opponent's moves are, not afraid of falls, and use my legs to create my ideals...... If you sweat and flow to the audience, don't shed tears if you lose this time...... I will wear a pair of golden boots with you in the future, please give me confidence......"

After the song was played, Tang Zheng reopened his eyes and took off his headphones, and the noise outside the window became louder.

However, compared to the simple boos before, there were faint bursts of cheers.

Looking through the window, Tang Zheng could see fans wearing River Plate's traditional white jerseys in the dense crowd, cheering for the River Plate players in the bus through the cracks of the on-site security personnel.

Soon, the team bus stopped at the designated location on the Candy Box Stadium.

The local police in Buenos Aires were well prepared in all respects, and the police immediately formed a human wall with shields to get the River Plate players safely out of the bus.

Despite this, Boca fans took advantage of the crowd to yell at the River Plate players and hurled insults.

Tang Zheng is not very well-known in the current Argentine football world, so there is no special target from Boca fans, such as head coach Diego Simeone, leading shooters Falcao, Poncio, Domingo and others are greeted by Boca fans.

But these are very common phenomena for professional players, so no one cares, just gathers the anger of Boca fans and waits until the game starts.

The team has to pay for the trouble caused by the fans!

At least that's what Falcao thought.

When the players of both sides entered the stadium one after another to warm up, the coaches and media workers of both sides got the starting lineup of the Argentine national derby.

Looking at the starting list of the home team Boca Juniors, there is no surprise to everyone, it is the strongest lineup.

I thought that River Plate would send the strongest existing lineup, but what I didn't expect was that Diego Simeone actually sent eighteen-year-old Tang Zheng in the key midfield position, which was very surprising.

You must know that Tang Zheng only had three official matches in the past, and the total game time was only more than 100 minutes.

In the words of Abel Claudio, the leading commentator of TYC Sports: "It was a very risky attempt!"

At the same time, Boca Juniors coach Carlos Ischea frowned as he looked at the River Plate starting list in his hand, he did not deny Tang Zheng's ability, but this game was Argentina's national feast - super derby.

No matter how you look at River Plate's starting lineup, it's a bit child's play, which is incomprehensible.

However, Carlos Ischea's adjustment ability is not bad, he thinks that since Diego Simeone has decided to take a risk, then he will sell a 'smooth water' favor and adjust the focus of the attack to Tang Zheng!

He believes that with the ability of Riquelme and Banega, he will definitely be able to open the gap from Tang Zheng.

It's just that...... I wonder if this crucial super derby will make the 18-year-old Chinese teenager lose the confidence to play football from now on?

Thinking of this, Carlos Ischea shrugged his shoulders, Tang Zheng is a member of the River Plate team, what does it have to do with him?

Thousands of miles away in China, although CCTV 5 has a plan to broadcast the Argentine national derby live, its habits have not changed, and there will be no footage before the game.

Therefore, fans who are looking forward to this national derby can only cumbersomely cross the wall from the live broadcast link provided by the fans in the live broadcast bar, but when they saw that the starting list had Tang Zheng's name, they instantly felt that it was worth it.

Fans who stayed up late to watch the game were as excited as playing chicken blood, and the communication development in 2008 was particularly rapid, in QQ groups, post bars, forums...... There was a lot of news about Tang Zheng shocking the starting list of the Argentine national derby.

Tang Zheng has performed well in the past three consecutive games for River Plate, and Chinese fans have also learned about it through the Internet and Sports Weekly.

That's why they are looking forward to the next Argentine national derby, but they just hope that Tang Zheng can come off the bench.

However, the current Tang Zheng is the starter, representing River Plate away to challenge Boca Juniors.

The Argentine national derby, ranked first in the top ten derbies in the world!

When Tang Zheng entered the stadium from the players' tunnel with Falcao, Sanchez and others, the Boca fans in the stands erupted in huge boos, and the Boca fans around the tunnel directly greeted the families of the River Plate players.

Tang Zheng stopped at the conditioned reflex of his body and turned his head to look at the stands.

The attention of Boca fans was instantly focused on Tang Zheng, many of them didn't know where Tang Zheng was sacred, but this didn't affect them to vent, anyway, the person wearing the River Plate jersey was their mortal enemy.

"Believe it or not, Lao Tzu invited you to eat a national banana?"

"Bastard from River Plate, kneel down with you Uncle Boca!"

"You *** raisers, go back to your chicken coop!"

"Hahaha, look...... There was a guy there who was so scared that he couldn't walk!"

……

The scolding was very ugly, and Tang Zheng clenched his fists.

Falcao turned around and pushed Tang Zheng's back, and said with a smile: "Don't pay attention to those pigs who can only bark, now let them babble first, and when the game is over, they will cry." ”

Sanchez was loaned to River Plate from Udinese in the spring last year, and although it hasn't been a long time now, he still knows a lot about River Plate's feud with Boca Juniors, so he said: "That's right, let them be proud first, and winning the game is the king." ”

"Hurry up, hurry up, warm up!"

At this moment, the physical trainer Enzo clapped his palms vigorously and motioned for the players to gather to warm up.

Poncio looked at Tang Zheng while jogging: "Do you know why you encounter wild boos from the home team's fans every time you are away from home?"

"I don't know. Tang Zheng shook his head and said.

"That's because they're afraid of losing to us. Poncio turned his head and glanced at the Boca fans in the stands and concluded: "Think about it, if they are not afraid that their home team will lose to us, why do they create psychological barriers for us? Why do they prevent us from warming up and playing? Aren't they afraid of losing?"

Tang Zheng thought about it, what Poncio said was very reasonable, only if he was afraid, he would resist fiercely.
