Chapter 0118: Professional Players Should Be More Selfish (Twelfth Update!)
Tang Zheng didn't pay attention to what was going on in China, but his son Tang Tianhua was very concerned, and now the domestic fans are making a lot of trouble, and Xie Yalong, chairman of the Football Association, is about to be scolded for becoming Xiang. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Tang Zheng caused a lot of problems last time he accepted Five-Star Sports, and now he is pointing the finger at the Football Association and Xie Yalong, which is ...... Are you really not afraid of offending people?
But offending people is small, and affecting the future is big!
Not to mention that Xie Yalong is still in charge of the national teams of all ages, even if Xie Yalong, who is at fault in the local Olympics, leaves, which new leader dares to use such an upright player?
So Tang Tianhua didn't care about the jet lag, and directly dialed Tang Zheng's mobile phone, but when he heard Tang Zheng's analysis and explanation, Tang Tianhua, as a father, was silent, as his son said, a gentleman does something and doesn't do something, and some things should be done while he is young!
In fact, Tang Zheng had already been mentally prepared.
Aren't the same things that the people in the Football Association are all doing?
It's nothing more than not letting you enter the national team, so you don't have the resume of the national team.
But Tang Zheng, who is in Argentina, doesn't have to worry about these at all, playing abroad depends on strength, and it is better to have a task without a national name, which is more conducive to his healthy growth abroad.
However, Tang Zheng believes that one day, everything will be fine.
What he has to do now is to train well, play well, contribute better form to the game, and then let everyone in the world know that Chinese can also play well, even if they can't represent the national team.
At this time, in China, the voice of the crusade was unprecedentedly huge.
It is said that the president of the Football Association, Xie Yalong, is currently overwhelmed and is already considering whether to resign from his position.
But before he can do that, he needs to find someone to take over the mess.
But the problem is that no one is willing to fight for the future, after all, Chinese football has now fallen to the lowest point in history, even to the point where everyone shouts and beats.
In this case, River Plate take on Banfield away from home.
In this game, Tang Zheng continued the good form of the past two games, but the ups and downs of the team's overall form did not actually help the team win the game, and finally drew 0:0 with the home team Banfield.
On the second day, the BJ Olympics competitions thousands of miles away came to an end.
Argentina defeated Nigeria 1-0 to win the title, while Tang Zheng's teammate Bonanott at River Plate still played 90 minutes in the third game of the group stage.
It is worth mentioning that the Chinese athletes in this Olympic Games performed well, winning 51 gold medals, and topped the gold medal list with 15 gold medals ahead of the second-ranked United States.
As a Chinese, Tang Zheng is very excited and proud of the prosperity and strength of the country.
His excitement continued well into the fourth round of the league, and River Plate relied on Tang Zheng's pie-fed pass to assist Sanchez to score a cushion to score 1-0 in a narrow 1-0 win over San Lorenzo.
※※※
Simeone is very pleased with Tang Zheng's excellent performance, and he believes that this season's spring league championship will not be a problem.
Now every time a home game, there are more and more Argentine local fans in the stands who support Tang Zheng, and many fans even begin to hold up banners and slogans about Tang Zheng, among which there are many beautiful and hot Argentine sexy girls holding up a small poster of Tang Zheng, which is extremely eye-catching.
The local Argentine fans know the ball very well, and they know that the team's right track is directly related to Tang Zheng, who can attack and defend well, take charge alone, and have the demeanor of a general.
More importantly, Tang Zheng is a high-quality player cultivated by River Plate's academy, which gives those fans who are loyal to River Plate a great sense of belonging.
This round of the league is followed by two consecutive FIFA match days, which means that the qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa have kicked off again.
What made Tang Zheng helpless was that the Chinese team once again had no ball to play, and like the 2006 German World Cup Asian qualifiers, the Chinese team failed to survive the second round of qualifiers.
At this time, countless Chinese fans can only focus on other favorite national teams, but they are not the motherland team after all, and there is no sense of substitution.
So Xie Yalong tragically became the target of abuse from fans, because this was the inaction of the Chinese Football Association.
It is worth mentioning that in the 2008 U19 Asian Youth Championship and the 2009 Egypt U20 World Youth Championship Qualifiers held in Saudi Arabia in early November, Tang Zheng, who was loved by Chinese fans, was once again missed the training squad.
At the same time, Bonanotte, who played the final of the Olympic football tournament with the Argentine Olympic team, unexpectedly returned early.
It stands to reason that Bonanotte, who represented the national Olympic team in the BJ Olympic football tournament, has at least fifteen days off, so many people are curious.
In fact, the reason is quite simple, Bonanott missed the team's pre-season preparation and the four rounds of the league at the beginning of the season with the national Olympic team, and Augusto Fernandez, who is currently playing as an attacking forward, has performed very well, even better than the veteran Rosales.
As an absolute mainstay in the second half of last season's autumn league, Bonanott felt a huge threat.
Therefore, when the international break comes, choose to return to the team early for training, otherwise the team that will be absent from the team to prepare for the game will most likely not even have a stable substitute seat.
It's not nice to say, but in fact, the Olympics are just a crowd for him, lying down and winning the championship.
Due to the absence of many key players during the international break, River Plate's overall technical and tactical drills will definitely not be playable, so Simeone conducts targeted intensive training according to the position and characteristics of the players on the field.
In fact, the bottom line is physical training, he believes that with the development of world football, every position on the field will become multi-purpose, and abundant physical fitness is the foundation to ensure the performance of individual skills.
Tang Zheng's dribbling skills have been greatly improved now, and the only drawback is that the timing of the dribble is always not good at the back.
But Simeone is not in a hurry, the control of timing requires the accumulation of game experience, as long as he participates in more games, the control of timing will rise in a straight line.
Now he wants to develop Tang Zheng's actual scoring ability, because Tang Zheng, who is 1.93 meters tall, actually used a header to break the egg in the last round of the league.
Many times he fought for the ball in the penalty area by rubbing back or ferrying, and rarely took the initiative to head the goal.
Taking advantage of the interval between training sessions, Simeone called Tang Zheng to his side: "Don, I wonder why you prefer to head back or ferry when attacking from corners or free kicks?"
"I enjoy the feeling of assisting my teammates to score. Tang Zheng thought about it and replied.
Not only Simeone was speechless, but even assistant coach Jorge Gortilo and strength and conditioning coach Enzo rolled their eyes.
This explanation must be given a hundred points!
"But a lot of the time professional players have to be a little bit selfish!, you know?"
Simeone said.
"Actually, I want to too, but sometimes I don't want to live up to the expectations of my teammates. ”
Tang Zheng spread his hands and explained.
"Then why are you so aggressive when the team is attacking forward?"
"I want to score a goal!"
Speaking of this, Tang Zheng seemed to understand something.
"Isn't that right? Corners and set-pieces are both a means of scoring, so why do you have to rub back or ferry?" Simeone said: "Are you not confident enough in your header?"
"Of course not. ”
As a result, Tang Zheng frequently played in the next local set-piece drills, as the tallest player in the team at present, coupled with his excellent judgment and bounce, it was a disaster for the marking players.

The international break is the biggest headache for professional football clubs, especially the big clubs, who tend to contribute the most internationals.
River Plate has been affected by the FIFA virus, and striker Falcao suffered a soleus muscle strain in the World Cup qualifier away to Chile for the Colombian national team and will be out for at least two weeks.
Augusto Fernandez, who was also back in form, was more tragic, straining his left adductor muscle during the warm-up and was out for four weeks.
The biggest disaster was undoubtedly the physical fatigue of the international break, when Chilean international Alexis Sanchez was unwell after playing 90 minutes for the national team, and Simeone took him off for a game just to be on the safe side.
Therefore, in the fifth round, the River Plate of Sarandi Arsenal played very hard, if it weren't for Tang Zheng's header in the second half of the second half, the opposing goalkeeper would have been able to save the ball and get rid of it, otherwise the central defender Tucchio, who ran to the goal, would not have been able to hit the ball into the empty goal.
In the end, River Plate drew 2-2 away at Sarandi Arsenal.
Thankfully, rivals Boca Juniors and Estudiantes de La Plata failed to score three points, leaving River Plate at the top of the table by a narrow margin.
In the next game, I don't know if it was because of Falcao's absence that no player in the forward line could carry the offensive banner, so that River Plate drew in the next two league games.
The top spot then ceded to third place.
The only consolation for River Plate fans is that the team is unbeaten so far.
But being unbeaten is not what River Plate fans want most, as they want the team to emerge from the FIFA virus and compete for the Spring League title.
If the team continues, the season will be very dangerous......
In the final league game in September, River Plate was finally able to field their strongest squad, with Falcao returning from injury, Alexis Sanchez and Bonanot on the left, and Ahumada, Tang Zheng and Poncio in the middle.
In the 2008-2009 season of the A-League Spring League, River Plate welcomed the eighth round of opponents at home, Athletic Club.
Tang Zheng and Sanchez, Bonanot and Falcao tacit cooperation was repeated at the Monumental Stadium, in the tenth minute of the game, Tang Zheng completed the defense and quickly participated in the attack, a long pass of more than 40 meters accurately found Sanchez, who kept the ball straight into the penalty area, Falcao scored from the back to the top of the goal.
After another five minutes, Tang Zheng took advantage of the opportunity of the corner kick attack to rub in front of the point with the advantage of height, and Falcao relayed the header at the penalty spot and scored twice.
In the second half, Falcao capitalized on a mistake by an opposing defender to score a hat-trick.
River Plate came out of the haze and won the game.
At the regular press conference after the game, Simeone finally breathed a sigh of relief and shouted that the FIFA virus was gone!
