If River Plate want to take the initiative on the road to the last 16 of the Copa Libertadores, they will have to win Cruzeiro at home, and if the situation allows, win by three goals or more, they can beat Cruzeiro to the top of Group E!

Given this possibility, River Plate continued to play on the offensive after the resumption of the game and try to score another goal before the end of the first half. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, it would be better to be able to score two or even three......

Tang Zheng was the biggest contributor to River Plate's deadlock on the field, and he was also violated by Cruzeiro players the most times in the future, so the game entered the stage of gunpowder.

Fortunately, the referee on duty made a decisive decision, and he showed no mercy when it was time to give cards, and he gave Tang Zheng, Ramirez and another Cruzeiro player, Parana, who reacted violently.

However, this penalty is not fair in Simeone's eyes, his player was violated by the other party, why did Tang Zheng also receive a yellow card?

In the same way, in the eyes of Joel Santana, Tang Zheng, who reacted violently, should be sent off directly with a red card.

Abel Claudio shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don is still too young, Cruzeiro's foul is obviously targeted, I hope he can keep a cool head in the next games and continue to create a dangerous attack for River Plate." ”

In fact, Tang Zheng calmed down after receiving a yellow card, and in the first round of the Copa Libertadores, he was sent off because he received two yellow cards in a row, so that River Plate, which played one less, suffered a heavy defeat away from home.

So Tang Zheng won't fall twice in the same pit, and he looked up at the scoreboard above the South Stand: 39\'40"

In other words, there are five minutes left before the end of the first half, and if you count the injury time, it should be six minutes.

Make up your mind and try to extend the score before the end of the first half, and then you can take advantage of the opponent's anxious mentality to play a few more games......

Ramirez saw that Tang Zheng calmed down, and he was a little unwilling, but he really wanted Tang Zheng to accumulate two yellow cards and be sent off again, and River Plate, which lacks the core of the midfield, is likely to be defeated at home!

As a result, Ramirez used a lot of small actions when defending Tang Zheng, either using the referee's visual blind corner to push the back of the thigh, or insulting Tang Zheng when running.

But he obviously underestimated Tang Zheng, Tang Zheng has experienced the adjustment and training of old fritters like Poncio, and he has achieved a little in the experience of small actions.

Ramirez gave Tang Zheng a kick when the referee didn't notice, and Tang Zheng would return the color after a while, and step on Ramirez's foot with the sole of his shoe at the moment when the referee turned around.

And will take advantage of the corner or set-piece to sarcastically mock Ramirez with sharp words, if it weren't for his partner Parana's quick enough reaction, Ramirez would probably roll up his sleeves and fight Tang Zheng......

Seeing that there was less and less time left in the first half, Tang Zheng's mentality was a little anxious, and he received the return ball from Bonanotra in the attacking 30-meter area.

Ramirez was in front of Tang Zheng for the first time, preventing him from breaking through while giving him enough pressure.

Tang Zheng suddenly had a shake to the left in his upper body, and at the same time his left shoulder sank, Ramirez's subconscious body gravity tilted to the right, and then Tang Zheng's right outside instep flicked the ball horizontally to the right.

It was only then that Ramirez realized that he had been deceived by Tang Zheng's feints.

"Whoa!!"

Suddenly, the home fans in the stands erupted into a burst of loud cheers, chanting for Tang Zheng's escape.

Ramirez reacted quickly, his right heel was downward, his body was subjected to a huge reaction force to stabilize the center of gravity, and then forcibly extended his left leg to reach the ball, but Tang Zheng's connection action was very fast, and his right instep added a force to the football that had just been pulled out.

At this time, Ramires had no way to take care of carrying a yellow card on his body, because he had no choice, if Tang Zheng took the ball over, the defense line would be dangerous!

※※※

Joel Santana stood on the sidelines with foul language and a lot of body movements, obviously unhappy with Ramirez's defensive move, and if Tang Zheng was kicked down, he could have received his second yellow card of the game.

It stands to reason that Ramirez only needs to stand in this position to defend Tang Zheng, and there is no need to take the initiative to make defensive moves......

However, Tang Zheng didn't fall to the ground, and he knew that Ramirez's loss of defensive position would bring even greater gain.

Ramirez's outstretched left leg did kick Tang Zheng's supporting foot, but his strong and powerful legs forcibly stabilized his body in the process of staggering, and then cooperated with his hands to support the grass and did not fall.

The Monument Stadium, which had erupted in loud boos, suddenly changed its tone, and a sea of cheers poured down from the stands on all sides and swept through the stadium.

Parana secretly called Ramirez an 'idiot' in his heart, but there was no hesitation at his feet, he sped up his movement and rushed over from the side to complete the task that Ramirez did not complete - a foul.

Tang Zheng's speed was not raised, and he did not intend to force a breakthrough, but stumbled with the outside of his left foot and flicked the ball, and the football rolled towards Domingo, who was originally defending Parana.

So Parana had to come to a hard brake and turn a corner to rush towards Domingo, but Domingo didn't mean to stick to the ball, he kept the ball with his left foot and pushed it directly to Falcao in front of the arc of the penalty area.

Leonardo Silva and Leno Elenor stepped forward at the same time to force Falcao and prevent him from getting the ball comfortably.

Falcao didn't mean to take the ball, he directly returned to Tang Zheng who was forward.

A continuous pass has brought Tang Zheng to the top of the arc of the big penalty area, which is about twenty-five meters away from the goal.

This frightened Parano and the two centre-backs, knowing that it is very dangerous to let the opposition core players get the ball in this position!

The disadvantages of Ramirez not being in a defensive position are infinitely magnified!

Because Tang Zheng, who takes the ball at the top of the arc of the big penalty area, whether he shoots or passes, will pose a huge threat to the goal guarded by Fabio.

Parana made another sharp brake, ready to help defend Tang Zheng, but it happened that at this time, his feet suddenly slipped and fell to the ground.

Leonardo Silva and Héleno worked together, with the former getting close to Falcao and the latter defending the unmarked Tang Zheng forward when the defence was tight.

Meanwhile, judging by the broadcast footage, Elenor came out of the box and the wing-back Enrique on the right side of the screen also accelerated.

However, no matter how you look at it, it seems a little too late, Tang Zheng stepped on the ball at the top of the arc of the big penalty area, and then picked up a pass in the penalty area.

※※※

Ramirez, who was out of position defensively, was running back at a frantic acceleration, and in his eyes, Tang Zheng had already picked up his right foot.

Yes, the quicker you make a choice when unmarked, the better it is for the offense!

So Ramirez stopped, his attention was like the others, he was instantly attracted by the football, and his eyes followed the football in mid-air to his own penalty area.

The flight altitude of the football is on the high side, even if Leonardo Silva and Falcao have Yao Ming's height, they may not be able to top the football, and they reacted like everyone else, watching the football fly overhead and fall to the left rib of the penalty area, which is the right rib of Cruzeiro's penalty area defense.

"Oops!!!" Leonardo Silva noticed a player in a white jersey and a touch of red speeding forward, with a big '10' behind him, telling those present that he was ......

"- Ariel Ortega!!"

The narrator, Abel Claudio, lengthened his voice to the shouts that spread from the stands.

Ortega, who wore the captain's armband on his left armband, comfortably unloaded the ball on the run, leaving him unmarked at this point, giving him plenty of time to observe goalkeeper Fabio's position.

"Sortie?"

The corners of Ortega's mouth went up, and the tip of his right foot rubbed against the bottom of the ball.

Fabio had just made up his mind to abandon the goal, but when he looked up and saw the ball off the ground, he had to hurriedly retreat.

When he stepped back to the second step, he kicked the ground with his left foot on tiptoe, hoping to leap high to lift the ball off the crossbar, but it backfired, as Ortega's volley was already over the tip of his extended right finger, so all he could do was turn his head in mid-air to look back at the ball that had fallen into the net.

"gooooooooal-!!" The live announcer's deliberately elongated voice incited the emotions of the fans in the stands, adding to the frenetic atmosphere of the Monument Stadium.

Ortega, who had scored the goal, looked very happy, he excitedly crossed the billboard, rushed to the lower edge of the stands, then took off his shirt and threw it excitedly into the stands.

So the cheers in this stand are significantly higher than in the others......

"The ball is in, the goal is in! Captain Ortega's goal gives River Plate a 2-0 lead!!"

"River Plate extended the score to two goals before half-time, and revenge is on the horizon!"

"Beautiful goal!" The five-year-old legend 'Little Stove' made a contribution to the team with a very delicate lob shot this Chinese New Year's Eve!

The commentator in the commentary seat praised Ortega with witty words.

The announcer continued to stir up the euphoria of the fans in the stands: "It was Ariel who scored the goal—"

"-Ortega!!"

Nearly 50,000 River Plate fans hysterically chanted Ortega's name, and at that moment, there was only one voice in the entire stadium.

Of course, Ortega, who scored the goal, did not forget Tang Zheng, he gave the opponent a powerful bear hug and thanked him for his wonderful assist.

Ramirez crossed his arms and hips as he looked at the River Plate players celebrating at the far end and then at the scoreboard at the south end of the pitch, where the 2-0 score made him very uncomfortable.

No matter which angle you look at River Plate's two goals, they are directly related to him.

It just so happened that his midfield partner Parana muttered next to him: "Stand in your position, don't go up blindly." ”

"Shut up!"

But Ramirez is in a terrible mood right now, and Parana's words are like adding fuel to the fire.

Ramirez has a temper, Parana has an even more temper, he was just a kind reminder, and he didn't think that Ramirez, who was at fault, would actually shut himself up?

"You try it again?"

Paranana glared at Ramirez in displeasure.

"I said—"

Ramirez didn't finish speaking, but fortunately Enrique and Wagner reacted quickly and pulled the two angry bulls apart, otherwise they would have made outsiders laugh......
