"Don, if you were to play in the heart of the midfield, would you be willing?"

Simone looked at Tang Zheng seriously and asked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Tang Zheng was stunned, and his sword eyebrows raised slightly: "Haven't I always been the core?"

"When I say the heart of the midfield, I don't mean it in the traditional sense, but to let you take on the responsibility of scoring goals when the team is lacking, like the goal that went to Boca. Simeone explained.

"Huh?" Tang Zheng's eyes glared at the boss, but he was instantly replaced by joy, and nodded again and again: "Yes, of course I do!"

Seeing Tang Zheng's expression change, Simeone smiled: "Since you are mentally prepared to take responsibility, then I will promote you to the third captain of the team by the way, do you have any opinions?"

Isn't it true as the saying goes?

Misfortune is not a single line, and blessings are not double.

Oh my God, this is just an explosion of good luck!

"No, no. Tang Zheng reacted very quickly this time: "Only fools will have opinions." ”

"You kid. Simeone scolded with a smile, and then his voice changed, and he advised: "The skills and tactics with you as the core of the midfield are still in the simulation stage, and there is no formed tactical system, but I believe that this tactical system will not be implemented for too long, okay...... I still have something. ”

"Ok!" Tang Zheng winked at Simeone: "Thank you for the key promotion." ”

The next day, the official websites of River Plate and Serie A Atalanta clubs announced at the same time, that is, the long-rumored transfer rumors, that River Plate's vice-Oscar Ahumada transferred to Atalanta for a transfer fee of 4 million euros.

In the afternoon, River Plate held another press conference, where the press officer first thanked Ahumada for his past contributions to the team and then wished him every step forward in his future career.

Finally, head coach Simeone took the stage to speak, and in front of dozens of media, he officially announced that the third captain, Domingo, became the second captain, and at the same time announced that Tang Zheng, who was standing next to him, became the third captain of the team.

It was only then that media reporters reacted to why Simeone would bring Tang Zheng to this press conference.

They reacted quite crazy, especially Paolo Andrés, a reporter for the Clarion who had a good relationship with Tang Zheng.

Because Tang Zheng will very likely become the first Asian captain in River Plate's history, the current first captain Ortega is too old to play for long, and the second captain Domingo has limited ability, and he is likely to land in Europe in the future and chase his dreams......

When the news spread to China, domestic fans were shocked.

Tang Zheng's ability is beyond doubt, but as a Chinese as the captain of Argentina's absolute giants River Plate, it will be much more significant than Sun Hai as the vice president of the Manchester City team......

So, the Football Association was shot again lying down for no reason, and who let them ban the future River Plate captain from the national team at all levels?

※※※

River Plate head coach Simeone once led Estudiantes to win the league championship in the 2007-2008 spring league, so even if Simeone personally led River Plate to break Estudiantes' dream of two consecutive championships, not many fans on the scene booed Simeone.

In this regard, Simeone is still quite moved.

However, the stadium is like a battlefield, and moving will not be an excuse for Simeone to release the water.

The gradual tactical reform with Tang Zheng as the core was not very successful, because the implementation of this new set of tactics was tantamount to tearing down and rebuilding the usual technical and tactical play in the past, not only Tang Zheng needed an adaptation period, but even other players needed an adaptation period.

Moreover, after the run-in of the spring league, the newcomers and veterans have become more and more tacit, and they are fighting at home, and all the offensive routines have been played.

Therefore, Tang Zheng returned to the defensive midfield when the team was passive, and partnered with Poncio to ensure the safety in front of the central defender.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Tang Zheng has given up the box-to-box style of play, but he is looking for opportunities.

Estudiantes de La Plata, who are now playing at home, obviously take the initiative, and the offensive routine with Veron as the tactical core is very skillful.

Jiang is old and spicy, since Belon suffered a lot of losses from Tang Zheng, he consciously bypassed Tang Zheng when his own side attacked.

However, Estudiantes de La Plata's attack became more homogeneous as a result, and they had to move their attacks frequently to the wings, taking advantage of 45-degree crosses from both flanks to create chances.

However, the centre-back combination of Cabral and Musacchio is quite solid, and occasionally Tang Zheng will return to the box to assist in the defense, so there are not many ways for Estudiantes to score goals.

There is no doubt that this choice of Estudiantes de La Plata coach Sabella is undoubtedly a way to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.

Simeone doesn't care if the team is in a passive situation, anyway, his idea on the road is to defend first and then counterattack.

His patience paid off half-hour into the first half.

Musacchio pressed Enzo Perez to push the ball out of the penalty area, Tang Zheng, who was just at the top of the arc of the penalty area, stuck the position first and let the ball go, and Veron, who stepped forward to counter-rob on the spot, wanted to foul but did not pull Tang Zheng.

Immediately, River Plate launched a quick counterattack.

Tang Zheng, who passed Veron, did not continue to dribble the ball, but directly took up a long pass to find Sanchez, who was inserted at high speed on the left side.

Soon, the ball was at the feet of Falcao, who used his explosive power and strong body to carry the young Federico Fernandez into the box, and faced goalkeeper Taborda to easily send the ball into the far corner to give River Plate a one-goal lead.

Estudiantes de La Plata, who had dominated most of the time, were beaten by a quick counter-attack from River Plate, which made them not very unbalanced, so they increased their commitment to attack.

But three minutes later, they were hit in the head again.

Tang Zheng made exquisite one-two combinations with his teammates in the midfield and backfield, and then sent a penetrating outside instep pass in the middle circle of his own side, and Sanchez, who pulled to the right side, took the ball at high speed and cut into the penalty area, but he was not greedy and passed the ball to Falcao in a better position.

Veron was stunned for a moment when he saw Tang Zheng pass the ball with the outside instep in front of him, and he didn't react until Falcao hit the ball into the goal.

No wonder he was able to become the third captain of River Plate at the age of nineteen, he was so capable!

In the second half, the two sides made a wide range of substitutions.

However, Tang Zheng was not replaced, he was still familiar with the new position he will adapt to for a long time in the future - box-to-box!

However, the new tactics were implemented for the first time in the game, and the effect was not ideal, coupled with the tacit cooperation of Falcao, Sanchez and Bonanott one after another, the other teammates and Tang Zheng's tacit understanding was insufficient, in order to ensure that the ball was not easily conceded, Tang Zheng was very careful to move forward, walking on thin ice.

Simeone, who was standing on the sidelines, had no good solution, and this situation could only be solved with the rise of tacit understanding, and he couldn't be in a hurry.

In the end, River Plate beat Estudiantes de La Plata 3-1 away.

※※※

The day after River Plate's away win over Estudiantes de La Plata, and the day before the end of the European transfer window, River Plate FC received a fax from Udinese.

It probably means that Sanchez was originally loaned to River Plate for one season, but Quagliarella was unexpectedly seriously injured in the just concluded league, so Sanchez had to be recalled on loan to River Plate in advance......

Simeone, who got the news, was very depressed, and Sanchez's tacit cooperation with the team was obvious.

If Sanchez is missing in the next autumn league and Copa Libertadores, the team's strength will be greatly reduced, and it will even seriously affect the team's rapid counterattack.

However, the loan clause has a bully clause, that is, if Udinese has a serious injury in the team, River Plate must release him unconditionally.

So when Sanchez informed Tang Zheng and the others of the news that he was about to return to Udinese, they were all stunned......

It's so sudden!

Sanchez's doorstep.

"What about taking the Libertadores Cup together and then going to Europe?" Tang Zheng raised his eyebrows, looking at Sanchez's expression a little sullen.

"What about the most basic trust between people?" Falcao said.

"I used to think you were the only one in the world who does what you say, hey......" Bonanaut tapped Sanchez on the shoulder twice, his expression very regretful.

“……”

Sanchez moved out of the way and let them into the house.

"Alright, alright. Tang Zheng put his arm around Sanchez's shoulder, who didn't look good, and suddenly his voice changed, and his tone was much calmer: "Europe is originally a place that belongs to you, it's better to go early, and we ...... Sooner or later, you'll go to Europe, but now it's just you going to explore the way first. ”

"You ......"

Sanchez first glanced at Tang Zheng, and then looked at Bonanot and Falcao respectively, with mixed feelings.

"What are we?" Tang Zheng rubbed Sanchez's hair with his hand, and suddenly said with a straight face: "When you go to Serie A, you have to play a good game, don't lose the face of our four heroes in River Plate, you know?"

"The Four Heroes of River Plate?" Suddenly, Sanchez, Falcao, and Bonanot felt that these four words were particularly lofty, and their eyes were very bright.

"Isn't it good to get it? Why don't you call it the River Plate Four......? It's a bit low. Tang Zheng spread his hands and said helplessly: "Don't pay attention to this kind of detail, the key is that Alexis can't lose our face, understand?"

Sanchez said regretfully: "Oh, that's a shame...... From today onwards, the Four Heroes of River Plate will become the Three Heroes of River Plate. ”

"It's okay, you'll always be part of our River Plate Four. Falcao couldn't help but give Sanchez a hug: "Forever." ”

"Yes, forever!"

Tang Zheng and Bonanot hugged Sanchez respectively and said firmly.

Since Sanchez has no room for maneuver when he returns to Udinese, Tang Zheng and others can only bless Sanchez, plus it is their dream to log in to the top league in Europe, and it is an eternal truth for people to go to high places.

"It's just that I can't help with the Copa Libertadores. ”

Sanchez voiced his concerns.

"Cut. Tang Zheng crossed his arms around his chest, pouted and said: "Don't worry, I have won the Libertadores Cup with Diego and Romerdal, because ......"

"Because we're all going to Europe!"

Then Tang Zheng's gaze swept to Bonanot and Falcao respectively, and then the three of them said in unison.
