Chapter 0064 - Shovel Ball (Ask for Collection, Recommendation Votes!)
As the game is about to begin, the noise in the stands has subsided, but the Boca diehard 12-member fan group in the blue fairy tale stands is still full of passion and fighting spirit, as if it has inexhaustible strength. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
They held up fan scarves, pulled their throats high, and hysterically sang the Boca anthem himno-de-boca-juniors: "Boca Juniors, Boca Juniors, you are the great football champion, who awakens your love, passion and confidence, our chest, your golden and blue flag is the sign of unfolding victory......"
Tang Zheng stood on the left side of the center circle of his side, and on the other side was his partner Poncio, who listened to the loud singing in the stands, felt a little unhappy, and instigated a mouthful of saliva, and then spit on the turf.
At this moment, accompanied by the loud singing of the die-hard fans of Boca in the stands, the Argentine golden whistle Elizondo blew the whistle in his mouth hard.
"Beep!"
Sebastián Abreu kicked the ball to his striker partner Falcao, and Boca Juniors forwards Palermo and Palacio pounced on Falcao like tigers descending from the mountain.
Although Falcao is only 22 years old this year, he has a lot of experience in the Argentine league, and he has participated in a lot of Argentine national derbies in the past, so he passed the ball to Tang Zheng unhurriedly.
At the same time, Duan Huo, the CCTV commentator who temporarily became the 13th round of the 2008 Argentine First Division Autumn League, gave the standard CCTV line: "CCTV, welcome the audience and friends to watch the live broadcast of the 13th round of the 13th round of the A-League Autumn League, River Plate's away challenge to Boca Juniors has begun, they are wearing traditional jerseys with white and diagonal red buffer bands, black shorts, attacking from the left side of the screen to the right side......"
When the football reached Tang Zheng's feet, Palacio and Palermo did not stop, but turned a corner and accelerated to pounce.
In the face of Palacio and Palermo, Tang Zheng passed the ball back to central defender Cabral without hurrying, and then continued to retreat, opening up enough space and distance to meet Cabral.
But Cabral didn't have a big heart like Tang Zheng, he was afraid that he would be cut off by Palermo or Palacio if he made a mistake, so he made a big foot directly at the incoming ball, and the football flew to the Boca Juniors half.
Diego Simeone was a little unhappy with Cabrral's choice, but he couldn't vent it, after all, as a central defender, Cabral had his own contingency plan, the game had just begun, and in order to avoid mistakes, it was understandable to kick the ball forward.
The home fans in the stands erupted in a loud laugh when they saw Cabral being so frightened that they moved the ball forward.
"!" Cabral looked ugly and spat out in dissatisfaction.
Tang Zheng turned around and patted Cabral on the shoulder, and said with a serious face: "Gustavo, don't pay attention to things outside the arena, don't forget that there is still me in front of you, whether it is offensive or defensive!"
Cabral looked up at Tang Zheng, just about to say something Tang Zheng had already turned away, he looked at Tang Zheng's back with some emotion, although he only transferred to River Plate at the end of last year, but he experienced much more games than Tang Zheng, but Tang Zheng was able to perform so calmly in this fierce national derby, which made him admire......
Cabral's big foot clearance cut off River Plate's possession, and Boca Juniors, who had the chance to possess the ball, slowly passed the ball forward to organise the attack.
※※※
Boca Juniors at home are more strategic than the River Plate formation, with four or three of four defenders lined up, with Banega in midfield and Batagria in midfield, Riquelme in front, and Datolo, Palermo and Palacio in front.
On the River Plate side, due to the away battle, the formation discharged is a relatively conservative 442 formation, but in terms of rebound, River Plate should not be underestimated.
The back four lined up, with Tang Zheng and Poncio in midfield, Bonanot and Mauro Rosales on the left and right, Uruguayan veteran Sebastián Abre up front and Falcao looking for opportunities behind.
In addition to Abreu, who was at the front, Abreu was slow, Falcao, Mauro Rosales and Bonannot were all very fast and were good counter-attackers.
The home side will not have a fast attacking tempo due to the core of the midfield, Riquelme, but the manager Carlos Ischea has a lot of ideas, and Palermo and Palacio in the front line have strong ability to compete for the top in the box.
As long as Riquelme can control the ball at his feet and send it to the wing, the 'madmen' Palermo and Palacimo can try to attack the River Plate backline.
Of course, Diego Simeone has long thought of this, so he put Tang Zheng and Pongsio, who are now the strongest defenders in the team, in the middle, in order to limit Riquelme's play.
Riquelme, who is about to turn 30, is certainly not as fast as he was then, and as long as Tang Zheng and Poncio seize the opportunity to break the ball, it will be an excellent quick counter-attack.
What could Diego Simeone think of, but Carlos Ischea, who has more coaching experience, can't think of?
Or that all coaches know Riquelme's technical characteristics, and they also know that limiting Riquelme is equivalent to winning half of the game, but looking at Riquelme's career so far, there are very few players who can freeze him.
Add to that the fact that this national derby will be played at the Candy Box Stadium, which is ...... Boca Juniors' combat power will be additionally strengthened by the almost frantic cheers of the fans.
Boca Juniors, playing at home, had a clear advantage under the frenzied cheers of the fans, and for the opening five minutes, River Plate defended almost the majority of the game in their own 40-metre defensive zone.
Even if there is an opportunity to counterattack, there will be a mistake under the overwhelming boos, and the opportunity to counterattack quickly will be lost.
Tang Zheng's defensive pressure in the middle is very high, he had a deep study of Riquelme before the game, although his foot speed is a little slower than when he was younger, but Tang Zheng wants to break the ball from Riquelme's feet, it is really difficult.
※※※
With Riquelme on the sidelines, Banega can make the most of what he does – plugging in and getting involved in the attack.
This time, Tang Zheng was defending Riquelme in the front, and the latter glanced at the back-inserted Banega, and pulled the ball back and forth at his feet, and the deceived Tang Zheng's feet had an exchange move, and Riquelme played a time difference and passed the ball to Banega, which was inserted backwards.
"Beautiful!" Leonardo, the commentator on Argentina's national television channel five, shouted after seeing Riquelme take advantage of the change of tempo to pass the ball to Banega.
More than 40,000 Boca fans at the scene broke out into a huge cheer at the same time, and Banega, who had long wanted to fight Tang Zheng, was like being excited, and took advantage of the space distance to prepare to go to Tang Zheng alive.
The fundamental reason why Boca Juniors, who sit at home, adopts the tactic of combining a forward midfielder with two midfielders is that Banega's ability to insert back is very strong, and he can open up the situation when the game is in a stalemate.
However, what is unexpected is that Tang Zheng's instantaneous reaction ability is very strong......
Riquelme's pulling the ball at his feet did affect Tang Zheng's judgment, but in fact it was negligible.
In fact, long before Banega stepped in to participate in the attack, Tang Zheng's afterglow observed his movement, so he was able to make accurate predictions at the first time.
Banega's choice of passing method is simple and practical, Tang Zheng used it often when he played as a striker in the past, so he also knew how to defend this move after being familiar with the midfield position.
Tang Zheng is tall and long-legged, and he made decisive defensive moves almost the moment Banega played the ball.
His left foot kicked the ground sharply, and at the same time, his waist twisted and his body moved nearly forty-five degrees to the left, and the long leg of his right foot stretched forward, and with the reaction force transmitted from the ground, his body quickly shortened the distance with the football.
Banega originally wanted to lie down the ball over Tang Zheng with him, but he never expected Tang Zheng's reaction to be so fast, and it was obviously too late to touch the ball again in disguise.
To avoid injury, he had to jump and relinquish control of the football.
Abel Claudio, a commentator for tyc sports television, sat in the live studio and saw this scene, his voice suddenly rose an octave and shouted, "Beautiful tackle!!"
"What a ball!" CCTV commentator Duan Huo saw the number 31 behind him, and his voice was full of surprise: "This is ...... Tang Zheng, an 18-year-old boy in China, completed the first wonderful tackle of the whole game!
ESPN commentator Mike Gervin slammed himself up from his seat and shouted, "Wow, what a nice tackle!"
Tang Zheng, who fell to the ground and left the ball at his feet, did not stick to the ball, and he swept the ball to the retreating Falcao, who temporarily played a role in the transition according to the pre-match tactics, and the football quickly passed to the feet of Mauro Rosales on the right wing.
A quick pass after the break in the middle of the back of River Plate, and a quick counterattack was launched.
The Boca fans in the stands erupted in a loud boo in an attempt to disrupt Mauro Rosales' rhythm with the ball.
But Mauro Rosales has a lot of experience in the game, so how can he be easily disturbed by the home fans in the stands?
Diego Simeone, who was standing in the coaching area of the visiting team, took half a step forward and looked at Boca Juniors' defensive backfield, where Sebastián Abreu was in front of him to contain Boca's two central defenders, Bonanotte cut in at high speed on the left flank, and behind Abreu there was a thigh Falcao following at high speed.
Other words...... This quick counterattack has a play!
