Chapter 0087 - Regretful Victory (Ask for Recommendation, Collection!)

If the match were to end at the current scoreline, it would be difficult for Fluminense coach Mosily Ramalho to accept. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The difference between two goals difference will be difficult to recover even if the second leg is back at home at the Maracanã, so at least one goal must be recovered in the remaining ten minutes of play.

After making up his mind, the visiting Fluminense made two substitutions in the 78th minute, removing a central midfielder and a wing-back respectively, adding two strikers, and the formation changed to a highly attacking four-three-three formation.

Ahumada, the captain of River Plate, has some defensive ability, so he received the latest instructions from head coach Simeone when the team was leading by two goals, retreated a little deeper, and partnered with Tang Zheng in the back two.

At the same time, the positions of Bonanot and Sanchez have also retreated a little, and the formation has changed from 433 to 4231, which is currently the most commonly used in world football.

With about 10 minutes left in the regular period, Simeone's request for the team to shrink the defense was a reasonable choice, after all, the two-goal lead and the goal was not conceded, and there may be a surprise when it is withdrawn to play the defense......

The changes were very targeted, with the hosts looking to keep the score until the end of the game and the visitors looking to score at least one goal and get away goals for the remainder of the game.

The River Plate players playing at home played brilliantly under the huge cheers of 50,000 fans in the stands.

Although the double back of Tang Zheng and Ahumada is not leaky, it can at least ensure the safety of the area in front of the central defender.

In River Plate's defense, Tang Zheng is the home team player mentioned the most by commentators, and his defensive selection is very reasonable, and he can appear in the most dangerous places on his side almost every time, saving the day.

In just five minutes, Tang Zheng completed three sliding tackles on the ground, two headers in the penalty area, and two long-range shots from Conca.

Seeing that regular time was about to run out, the visiting team Fluminense began to play in a hurry.

Whoever comes within 30 meters will try to shoot from a distance.

Anyway, the attack can't extend to the River Plate penalty area, maybe you can get one in if you're lucky.

Although Messiri Ramalho would have preferred to see his team organise their attacks in a disciplined manner, as the game time dwindled, he had no problem with his players' choice of long-range shots, which were also a good way to break down dense defences.

Maybe you'll be lucky enough?

At the end of 90 minutes of regular time, the fourth official held up an electronic card with three minutes of stoppage time.

At this point, Diego Simeone was ready to play the third card and delay the game a bit.

However, the visiting Fluminense players were still attacking on the edge of the River Plate penalty area, and Aveleras was still standing next to the fourth official waiting for the dead ball.

At the same time, there were already fans in the stands who began to leave the stadium, believing that there was no suspense in the game, and according to Fluminense's attack, it was difficult to pull back a goal at the last time, so they chose to leave the field early, otherwise it would be enough to wait until the game was over.

But they forget that the biggest feature of the game of football is that it is full of uncertainty.

Conca received a pass from his teammate in the attacking 30-meter area, but he did not choose to fire on the periphery again, but skillfully pulled the ball left and right with the soles of his feet to face Tang Zheng.

In the past 90 minutes of regular games, Tang Zheng put too much pressure on him, so he didn't dare to be careless.

Conca's vision was wide and he saw striker Alain who pulled out the ball for the ball, while midfielder Mauricio also stepped forward to attack.

His brain was running at high speed, perhaps...... This is a chance!

Alan wasn't in great physical condition, but he was so fast that neither Cabral nor Nicolas Sanchez could keep up.

Tang Zheng didn't know anything about what was behind him, and his attention was on Conca and Mauricio, who was plugged in the back.

Conca suddenly passed the ball to the right rear of Tang Zheng's defense, and Ahumada instinctively turned and rushed towards Alain, ready to make dumplings with Cabral back and forth.

But Alan didn't take the ball and went straight back to Conca.

Tang Zheng smelled a hint of danger, so he pushed forward.

Conca didn't give Tang much space and he slotted the ball past the moment Mauricio cut in.

Ahumada was not in a defensive position because of the defense of Alain, so Tang Zheng had to turn and rush to Mauricio, who received the ball.

Mauricio picked up the ball in front of Conca on the left and suddenly slammed the ball to the right with the arch of his left foot, and Tang Zheng came to a sharp brake on the spot and pulled his body back.

However, Mauricio did not give Tang Zheng a chance, and his right instep took the ball sideways to the right sideways and accelerated again.

Tang Zheng twisted and stretched his heel, but at this moment, Mauricio very covertly slammed back with the heel of his right foot, and the ball rolled towards Conca.

Ahumada turned to defend, but Conca was prepared, and with the outside of his left foot, he pulled the ball to the left and shook off the angle, picking up his left foot and hitting the goal.

Conca's choice of touch was not the instep of his left foot, but the inside of his foot, and he consciously made a near corner, Ahumada stretched his left leg sideways to block, but did not touch the ball.

Goalkeeper Juan Carrizo's view was blocked by Ahumada and Nicolás Sanchez, and by the time he saw the football and reacted, it was too late.

And Conca's shot from the edge of the box was so sharp that the ball flew into the left post under Juan Carriço's desperate gaze......

※※※

The home fans behind the River Plate goal had a wider view than goalkeeper Juan Carrizo, watching Conca pick up a left-footed shot from the top of the box.

Immediately, their hearts rose to their throats and they held their breath.

Conca's sudden cold arrow not only stopped the shot suddenly, but also carried a strong instep arc, even though Juan Carrizo's reaction speed was very fast and his body was extremely stretched in mid-air, but it did not help him to save the football, because his extended right arm was still a certain distance from the football......

Eventually, the ball grazed the inside edge of the left post of the goal and flew into the goal.

The atmosphere at Monument Stadium was declining at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the fans who were lining up to play were stunned and looked back at the stadium.

The players of the away team Fluminense hugged each other excitedly, which ...... Was it to score an away goal?

Yes!

River Plate manager Diego Simeone roared in anger, but he couldn't do anything about the goal, Ahumada did everything he could, who made Conca's long-range shot so high?

There is no way to deal with fairy balls on the football field.

Conceding a goal at home, it will be difficult to go to the away side in the second leg, and more importantly, Tang Zheng will accumulate three yellow cards and be automatically suspended for one game.

No matter how the team is arranged on the road, it feels like it will be difficult to keep a clean sheet on the road.

If Tang Zheng can play, then it will be counted separately.

But the key is that Tang Zheng is suspended!

Damn it!

Fluminense coach Mesiri Ramalho was very excited and it was great to get an away goal on the road!

He believes that this goal will set the stage for the team to qualify for the semi-finals!

However, he didn't get carried away and called centre-back Thiago Silva over to give him a good lecture while the players were celebrating.

It was a great incentive for Fluminense to pull a goal back before full-time, and even though River Plate had the advantage of kick-off when restarting the game, the visitors fully executed the latest tactical thinking of head coach Mesiri Ramalho to keep the score 2-1 until the end of the game.

Despite the defeat away, Fluminense's players were in a good mood and they got a valuable away goal to reach the last four with a 1-0 score at the Maracanã in the middle of next week!

It doesn't matter if any team concedes a goal in the last minute of the game, it's not happy.

That's the case with the current River Plate players, who are not willing to lose a good game.

Two goal difference is much more secure than one, and if they choose to make a choice on one, they would prefer a 1-0 scoreline

Head coach Diego Simeone was even more depressed, allowing not only a valuable away goal, but Tang Zheng was also automatically suspended for one game due to three yellow cards.

I just won a ball, and the price paid is really heavy!

At this moment, Fluminense coach Mesily Ramalho walked over, took the initiative to hold Diego Simeone's right hand, and patted his shoulder with his left arm: "Diego, you guys are doing really well, really!"

Diego Simeone, out of politeness, could only show a smile: "Where, where, you are better!"

"Okay, we'll see you in a week!"

"No problem!"

……

In the end, River Plate won the game, but it didn't get the perfect victory it wanted.

However, as long as they don't lose to Fluminense in a week's time, won't they be able to qualify?

Everything has to be on the bright side, and who can pack a ticket for Fluminense to win the second leg at home?

Simeone gathered his mood and enjoyed the game with the team.
