River Plate lost away from home, and Diego Simeone was in a bad mood, so he didn't have much interest in the regular press conference after the game, and only answered questions from reporters casually, and then hurriedly left the regular press conference after the game.
However, what Simeone didn't expect was bad luck and it seemed to fall in love with River Plate, as Rodrigo Alcupi sprained a cruciate ligament in his knee during the next day's recovery session.
Oscar Ahumada, who has strained his thigh muscles, is more serious and will be out for at least three months, which means ......, according to initial feedback from team doctor Fernando Pablo He will miss all the remaining tournaments in the Fall League.
If you include Buzak, who is recovering from injury, there are only six players available in the midfield of the first team, and if there are any more injuries in the midfield, the tactical change will be somewhat stretched.
In the youth team, head coach Igabi Fabiani is increasingly taking Tang Zheng seriously.
In terms of the team's tactical play exercises, Tang Zheng, who is more capable, often has to participate in the team's midfield connection after completing his own work.
In the words of Igabi Fabiani: With such good fitness, a game is only 90 minutes, and it is useless to keep it, it is better to use it in attack.
What is surprising is that Tang Zheng's progress is very obvious, he has made rapid progress in offensive organization, from the original only know how to divide the ball and transfer to the two wings, to now he can attack in tandem with the midfield.
Of course, one bite is not fat, and progress cannot be a day.
In every training session, Igabi Fabiani would always blow the whistle on what Tang Zheng was not doing well, and then patiently explain and analyze it face-to-face, so that Tang Zheng could correct some bad habits that were difficult for him to find.
"You have to be flexible when you're involved in playmaking, and you've got to keep a safe distance from the passer, so you can get in the first place, and you can step up when there's a mistake in the attack, you know?"
Every time after Tang Zheng broke through, Igabi Fabiani blew the whistle for the game to resume.
Tang Zheng received special treatment from head coach Igabi Fabiani, and naturally some jealous players were very unhappy.
But if you are unhappy, you can't meet your ability, no matter how important the head coach is, it's useless.

Many times, the coach can blow the whistle when the training is not done well, but if the game is not done well, he can only rely on his own judgment and slowly adjust.
Tang Zheng often encounters this kind of difficulty in the game, he can do impeccable on the defensive end, and occasionally long passes can also help the team shift the direction of attack, but there is a gap between the offensive organization and the training session.
During training, teammates will often collect it, but the opponent will not accept it in official games, and if you are a little slower, the best time will pass.
The problem Tang Zheng encountered was that he couldn't use his strength, and sometimes it would even affect the team's normal offense, and in the end he simply stayed in the arc of the center circle and only did the work of distributing the ball.
"It's good to be cautious, but too much caution will limit his growth, right?" said Igabi Fabiani, smiling as he sat in the dugout, turning his head to his assistant Christian Pizzi.
"I don't think so, on the contrary, I think Don is very smart. ”
"Huh?" Igabi Fabiani crossed his legs, clearly interested.
"You see our opponent is not strong, in terms of offensive organization, Moro has done a good enough, the opponent can not interfere with him at all, at this time Tang blindly participated in the offensive organization, on the bright side we are equal to one more offensive organization point, but this will make the attack more cumbersome, delay the fighter, Don stay in the middle circle arc to divide the ball can not only prevent the opponent from counterattacking quickly, but also can transfer the direction of attack at the first time, how perfect!" Christian Pizzi said: "And ...... Don't think I don't know you already saw it, huh, set me up. ”
"Hey, I'm not here for your good? you're going to be on your own and coaching a team one day. Igabi Fabiani said with a blushing face and a heartbeat.
“……”
In this youth league, River Plate Youth won 4:1.

In mid-April, there was a noticeable increase in the number of die-hard fans standing outside the nets at River Plate's first-team training ground, as did the reporters carrying cameras.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Tang Zheng.
The reason for the excessive attention is that River Plate will face the final group stage of Group E of the 2008 Copa Libertadores against the Peruvian San Martín Academy.
Although St Martin's College looks weak in Group E, they have won River Plate 2-0 at home in the first round, otherwise River Plate would have come out of the group stage with the strength of the group seed.
"Tomorrow the group stage of the last round of the Copa Libertadores will begin, Don, you say...... Who will win?" Matteo Musacchio asked Tang Zheng thoughtlessly as he looked at the bustling first-team training ground.
"Nonsense. Tang Zheng rolled his eyes: "Of course it's our riverbed!"
"Hey, there are no reporters or coaches around, just the two of us, you can tell the truth!" Matteo Musacchio said with his arms around Tang Zheng's waist and frowning.
Tang Zheng had no choice but to pretend to think about it slightly, and then said seriously: "After thinking about it, I still think that we have a better chance of winning." ”
"Why?"
"Intuition!"
"Fuck off!"
"Do you want to make a bet?"
Matteo Musacchio's tiger body shook violently, and what he was most afraid of now was to bet with Tang Zheng.
The first time he lost the bet, he accompanied Tang Zheng to practice every day after training, the second time he lost to help Tang Zheng eat for a month, and the third time he lost on April Fool's Day to spoof head coach Igabi Fabiani and assistant coach Christian Pizzi, and was punished for running 10,000 meters.
Hey, it's all tears.
Tang Zheng looked at Mateo Musacchio's pitiful eyes, and explained casually: "Monumental Stadium is the number one devil's home stadium in the whole of South America, and it has a great suppressive effect on the away team St. Martin's Academy, and we have a great advantage in the lineup, don't forget...... The opponent has three main injuries and yellow card suspensions, and Colombian striker Falcao is in hot form, if nothing else, this game will be a big win!"
Mateo Musacchio was stunned by Tang Zheng's bluff and nodded repeatedly.
However, Tang Zheng's analysis is indeed reasonable, at half past seven in the evening of April 17, the final round of the group stage of Group E of the 2008 Copa Libertadores season started at the Monumental Stadium.
River Plate had a big advantage in the lineup and had home advantage, so from the first second of the game, River Plate launched a crushing onslaught and scored a goal in the sixth minute through in-form Colombian striker Falcao.
But that goal was just the beginning, and at the end of the first half, River Plate led St Martin's College 4-0 and qualified for the round of 16.
"Damn, you're the Emperor of Analysis. ”
When the whistle blew at the end of the first half, Matteo Mousacchio thought it was incredulous that St Martin's had won River Plate twice at their home stadium, so it was not so weak......
Tang Zheng just replied with two words lightly: "Idiot." ”
In the end, River Plate defeated Saint Martin's College 5-0 at home to advance to the round of 16 of the 2008 Copa Libertadores as group winners.
