"I'm really a dog!"

The next day, Tang Zheng blurted out after learning from the report of "Clarion" that he would miss the second leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores due to accumulating three yellow cards. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Only now did he remember that during the halftime of the game, head coach Simeone had told him to pay attention to defense and not to take cards!

Cha!

Can you just say that if you get another yellow card, you will be automatically suspended?

Tang Zheng was very depressed, the team not only let Fluminense get an away goal, but also missed the second leg of the competition, huge depression!

However, he is still quite confident in the team, Falcao's state is in full swing, Sanchez and Bonanot's state is also good, and there are Ahumada, Poncio and other Ajia star players in the midfield, football is a team sport, Tang Zheng believes that the visiting River Plate will definitely be able to return home, he only needs to play well in the league and wait for the semi-finals of the Copa Libertadores!

As always, the training session the day after the match always revolves around the word 'recovery'.

In the training ground, Tang Zheng will always be the one who works hardest, and he seems to have a magic that can infect others, after all, Falcao, Sanchez and Bonanot have rarely practiced before.

Now that the first team is coming with Tang Zheng, everyone's training enthusiasm has increased a lot, and there are even players who practice with Tang Zheng.

This is also why most of the goals scored by River Plate in recent days are related to Tang Zheng and others......

The first leg of the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores is over, with a week to go before the second leg, but the league is no match for Simeone.

The last round of the league was due to the Copa Libertadores in midweek, and the result was an away draw at Independiente, and if it wasn't for the draw in the derby in La Plata, the current lead is only two points, so the next league game at home to the Hurricanes is not to be missed.

In addition, Tang Zheng, who is automatically suspended for the Copa Libertadores in the middle of next week, will likely start the league at the weekend, otherwise it will be a waste of resources.

Since Poncio is the team's main midfielder and will be on the field again in the second leg, the special training for Tang Zheng did not have him, but Tang Zheng did not relax, and he took advantage of the training session to go to the youth team's training ground to find his friend Matteo Musacchio.

It's just that the effect is obviously not as good as Poncio, after all, Matteo Musacchio has not been baptized in the professional league, and he is seriously behind Tang Zheng in terms of game experience, and as a sparring partner, he is no longer very qualified.

River Plate will travel to the Maracanã in midweek to take on Fluminense and have been looked after by the Argentine Football Federation in terms of fixtures, and like Boca Juniors, they play the league on Saturday and the first two.

This will allow them to get more rest time and be in better shape for the upcoming Copa Libertadores matches.

In the past first leg, Boca Juniors and River Plate did not perform too satisfactorily.

However, River Plate at least won, but the score was not very good, 2:1.

However, compared to Boca Juniors' 2-2 draw at home to Atlas from Mexico, River Plate's win was still quite good.

At least in the air contrast to each other......

Although the league at the weekend is more important, it is still a little different from the second leg of the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores, and the starting lineup of the game can only be regarded as one and a half main players.

Goalkeeper Juan Carriço, defenders Danilo Gelo, Cabral, Emmanuel and Ferrari, midfielders Bonanot, Tang Zheng, Aveleras and Rosales, and forwards Sebastián Abreu and Falcao.

In the handshake session before the start of the game, Tang Zheng saw a more familiar opposing player on the Hurricanes - Javier Pastore.

He remembers the first time he was named to the youth squad, the team faced the Hurricanes, and the Hurricanes' best player was the young talent in front of him, Javier Pastore.

At that time, if it weren't for the limited strength of Pastore's teammates, the Hurricanes would have won the game.

Now that both of them have been promoted from the youth team to the first team, they naturally have a dragon fight, so Tang Zheng consciously patted Pastore's shoulder, which is the regret of the youth team at the beginning.

Tang Zheng is in the midfield, while Pastore is in the midfield, and the two will be destined to meet several times in the following games.

Pastore was a little puzzled why Tang Zheng patted him on the shoulder and encouraged?

The corners of his mouth curled into a beautiful arc and he smiled.

If that's the case, he doesn't mind educating Tang Zheng in the next game.

He wants Tang Zheng to know that he doesn't think that he can be blind to everything by performing well in the national derby.

Of course, what really fueled Pastore's fighting spirit was that the manager kept telling him to be careful.

And recently, the media has always compared him with Tang Zheng, which makes him even more unhappy.

Now there is a chance for a direct contest, and Pastore wants to let everyone know.

In Argentina, there is another demon born in 89.

His name is Javier Pastore!

And the media is very concerned about this game, and Tang Zheng and Pastore can be said to have performed extremely well this season.

It's just that Tang Zheng has received more exposure in a giant team, so Pastore is not as famous as Tang Zheng, who came later.

In addition, Tang Zheng has been selected as the best newcomer in the A-League this season due to his recent eye-catching performance, posing a great threat to Pastore, who was already very popular.

So from another point of view, the performance of the two in this game will most likely affect the selection of the best newcomer in the league at the end of the season.

Everyone was waiting for the referee's whistle, including the commentators in the commentary booth and the reporters on the sidelines.

In fact, the result of this game is very clear in the eyes of many people, the leader River Plate is not only superior, but also playing at home, and the probability of winning is higher, which is why Diego Simeone has a semi-main lineup in this game.

However, for the media, they did not focus on the result of the game, but on Tang Zheng and Pastore on both sides of the game.

In terms of age, Pastore is a few months older than Tang Zheng, but looking at the contribution to the team in recent games, Tang Zheng is far ahead.

Before the referee blew the whistle for the first half, the on-site director consciously gave the camera to Tang Zheng and Pastore respectively, and even gave him a close-up shot of him pushed to his face.

Tang Zheng's expression didn't fluctuate much, as if he was as calm as an old bird in football, while Pastore's expression looked a little unnatural, or nervous.

Immediately, the referee blew the whistle, which means that the focus of the 16th round of the 2008 A-League Autumn League officially kicked off.

There is a certain difference between the Argentine league and other general leagues, the first division has a total of 20 teams and 38 games in a season, but the complete Argentine league is divided into the spring league and the autumn league with 19 games each, which means that there are two league champions in a full season......

Simeone was the squad that succeeded River Plate legend Passarella at the end of the spring league and led River Plate to the fall league, and now in the 16th round of the league, River Plate is at the top of the league table by four points.

There are still four rounds left until the end of the Autumn League, and although Diego Simeone needs to save for the second leg of the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals, the Autumn League title is also a must!

Therefore, he had high hopes for Tang Zheng in this game, and even handed over the responsibility of organizing the team's attack to Tang Zheng.

Of course, this has a direct relationship with the injury of the team's midfield playmaker.

But it is not difficult to see that this is Simeone's intention to tap Tang Zheng's organizational and offensive ability, and he is even willing to take a certain result as a price......

Tang Zheng did not disappoint Simeone, sending a precise long ball in the eighth minute of the game, and the ball found Bonanott who was cut in at high speed on the left, who glanced up at the box and then swept the ball directly into the box, Falcao has been in unusually hot form this season, and he scrambled to send the ball into the net before the opposition central defender.

River Plate, sitting at home, leads 1-0.

With less than ten minutes of the game, it was a dream start for River Plate fans in the stands.

Listening to the cheers from the stands, Pastore was very unhappy, his brows were furrowed deeply, Tang Zheng had sent it by himself before he sent an accurate long pass just now, which means that the Hurricanes' loss of the ball has a certain relationship with Pastore......
