The happiness came so suddenly that Musacchio was a little stunned, and it wasn't until the first-team coach Simeone left the youth team training ground that he reacted and turned his head to ask Tang Zheng next to him: "What did the first-team manager tell me just now?"

Tang Zheng smiled, pointed to Simeone's distant back with his left hand, and then patted Musacchio's shoulder twice with his right hand: "He said that when the first team's preseason preparations begin, you will report to the first team with me." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Oh-my-god!!" Musacchio clenched his fists and raised his arms and shouted, "I'm finally in the first team!!"

At the same time, Honas and Gustavo Fernandez quietly distanced themselves from Moussacio very tacitly......

Tang Zheng did the same, silently withdrawing his right hand, approaching Jonas and Gustavo Fernández, and looking at Musacchio with disgust.

Three words can be seen in their eyes: no avail!

But in fact, this is not the case in the hearts of Honas and Gustavo Fernandez, who are very envious of Musacchio being able to get the affection of the first team manager, hey......

Of course, there are many River Plate youth team players with envy.

As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a youth player who doesn't want to be in the first team is not a good youth player.

In April this year, Tang Zheng entered the first team, and then took advantage of a large number of injuries in midfield to establish the main position in one fell swoop, and now it is the turn of central defender Musacchio.

Ay......

Another sigh.

Many of them don't even know when they will be in the first team.

Igabi Fabiani's eyes were fierce and he could easily guess what his team members were thinking, so he clapped his palms vigorously.

When the attention of the players came over, he pointed in the direction of Tang Zheng and Musacchio and said: "Boys, do you see? Don and Mateo Mousacchio are the objects of your study, they have finally entered the eyes of the first team manager through their unremitting efforts, and you are the same, fight!

A lot of times, don't say too much, just get to the point.

Truth be told, Honas and Gustavo Fernández's self-esteem took a certain hit.

They don't think they're worse than Musacchio in training, but why haven't they had a chance to break into the first team?

Tang Zheng turned his head and glanced at the three of them, Musacchio ignored them directly, he found that there was something wrong with Honas and Gustavo Fernández's emotions, so he patted the two of them on the shoulder and said: " In fact, you don't need to be discouraged, although Matteo is not very reliable in ordinary times, but his professional skills are still very good, and now the first team has enough reserve players in the forward position and the forward line, so your chances of entering the first team are a little slim, but it does not mean that it is completely impossible, maybe one day the first team will have a large number of injuries again?"

If Simeone heard Tang Zheng's words at this time, he would probably vomit three liters of blood - how can anyone in this world curse his team for a large number of injuries?

Except for fringe players who don't get a chance to play......

However, Tang Zheng's words still have a certain effect on Honas and Gustavo Fernández, after all, God rewards hard work, Tang Zheng and Musacchio are both through their own efforts to get the coach's affinity, so for the two of them, hard work is the right way to the first team.

Start today, work hard, work hard!

Hornas and Gustavo Fernández swore secretly.

Simone, who put in the work on the first day, did not pay attention to the time, and if it weren't for the phone call reminder from his wife Carolina, it is estimated that he would have worked until the evening.

As he closed the office door, he glanced down at the Rolex watch on his left wrist, which was exactly six o'clock in the afternoon.

It's late in the winter in Argentina, the sun is setting and the night is falling.

In the training ground of the youth team, there are still four figures who insist on practicing under the lights.

Tang Zheng and Musacchio are defensive players, and Jonas and Gustavo Fernandez are attacking players, so there is no overlap in the positions of the extra practice, as long as you put in 100% attention, it can have the effect of extra practice.

Simeone, who was standing under the street lamp, watched for a while, and he did not walk to the parking lot until his wife Carolina's phone urged him again.

Tang Zheng trained with Mousacchio, Jonas and Gustavo Fernandez until mid-July, the pre-season preparation period for River Plate's first team.

Before Musacchio followed Tang Zheng to the first team to report, he came to the youth team to say goodbye to his teammates: "Brothers, brother is going to the first team, maybe he will never come back!

Tang Zheng, who was standing on the side, scolded with a smile: "It's like saying goodbye to life and death, don't worry, you will come back again." ”

"!" Mousacchio turned his head and said loudly, "I want to make a lot of money, and make the prettiest girl!"

Then, in the envious eyes of his teammates, Musacchio followed Tang Zheng to the training ground of the first team.

Coming to the first-team training ground, Tang Zheng saw his teammates who had been absent for a long time, but most of them were much stronger than at the end of the season.

At this time, Sanchez and Falcao walked from the direction of the dressing room, and Tang Zheng led Musacchio over.

"Long time no see!"

Tang Zheng warmly hugged Sanchez and Falcao respectively.

Of course, he did not forget to introduce his 'little brother' Musacchio, pointing to Mousaccio who was next to him and saying: "This is my 'little brother' in the youth team, Matteo Mousacchio, who has appointed him to enter the first team." ”

Musazio was not very happy to hear Tang Zheng introduce him as a 'little brother', but the latter words were okay and level.

So he hurriedly bowed to the big brother in the team, very respectful: "Hello, hello, just call me Mateo." ”

Sanchez and Falcao each patted Musacchio on the shoulder and nodded, acknowledging the new teammate.

In addition to the departed forwards Sebastián Abreu and Turio Ejmadi, midfielder Gadoso, goalkeeper Juan Carrizo, who returned to Inter Milan on loan, and Bonanotte, who was preparing for the BJ Olympics with the Argentine Olympic team, the rest of the team all came to the first team training ground.

Traditionally, the players are led by strength and conditioning coach Enzo and assistant coach Jorge Gortillo for a simple recovery session and then a basic physical test.

After more than a month of falling, many of the team members showed signs of physical gain, especially Augusto Fernandez and Alcupi, who had to lose weight through rigorous training.

Fortunately, Tang Zheng returned to the team ahead of schedule and trained in the youth team for about three weeks, his physical condition remained very good, and the test data was outstanding in the team.

Regarding Tang Zheng's physical condition, head coach Simeone is very satisfied.

So while the other team members were still doing hard physical training, Tang Zheng and Musacchio were called aside by Simeone.

"Don, Matteo, I'm calling you aside to make the most appropriate use of your time. Simeone looked at Tang Zheng and Musacchio with a serious face, and said seriously: "You two are training with the ball. ”

Tang Zheng and Musacchio are very hard-working, because the original team's main players will return one after another, and the competition in the new season will definitely be very fierce......

He has had a smooth ride since the youth team, but he doesn't want to waste his youth on the bench.

Perhaps a large reserve is a good thing for a manager, but not for young players who are hungry to play more, and they have to face more competition in order to get a consistent playing time.

Although Tang Zheng's performance in the autumn league is excellent, head coach Simeone must take into account the feelings of star players, and it cannot be said that because Tang Zheng's outstanding performance in the autumn league has always occupied the main position, those players who have contributed to the team must find the feeling of the game and see their recovery.

If their recovery is not ideal, then Simeone can naturally correct Tang Zheng.

After a week of intensive physical training, the team members lost their small belly and gradually returned to the best physical condition.

Before the start of the new season, Simeone arranged three warm-up matches for the team, namely Sarsfield in the La Liga, Estudiantes de La Plata and Sao Paulo who won the Brazilian championship for two consecutive seasons.

These three games are also the games in which Simeone laid the final framework for the new season and the main substitutes.

However, before that, the first thing to do was the intra-team group match.

Because for the time being, only in groups can we see how competitive the players are.

Only players who are in good form will be included in the final starting line-up.

Professional football is not only about strength, but also about maintaining competitive status.

The most important thing for manager Simeone at the moment is not the team's results, but the combination of permanent personnel at the beginning of the season.

The first team is basically equipped with 23 players, and any more than that number will lead to wasted players, thus increasing the financial burden of the team.

So Simeone has to decide on the ideal squad of 23 to 25 in the three warm-up games.

The intra-team competition was based on the main lineup of last season, and Tang Zheng's partner Poncio was still in the back position, and because of the face of captain Ortega, he wore a yellow vest that symbolized the main force.

The main side played in a four-three-three formation, and the same was true for the substitute side.

Judging from the first training session, the state of most players still needs to be improved, and the best form is Tang Zheng.

If nothing else, Tang Zheng will become the starter in the first warm-up game of the new season, and he is also very likely to enter the squad for River Plate's spring league in the new season.
