The international break has nothing to do with Tang Zheng, he was banned by the Football Association for five years for leaving the team early in the Asian Youth Championship last year, and the good-looking Chinese Football Association naturally cannot regret it, even if Tang Zheng's fame during this period is unprecedentedly hot.

Of course, if Tang Zheng takes the initiative to admit his mistake to the Football Association and then hand over such a loss of income, it is estimated that it is very possible.

But Tang Zheng's personality is distinct, it is impossible to admit his mistake to the Football Association, not to mention that the fault party is the Football Association?

As Tang Zheng's performance at River Plate grew, the Chinese domestic media once again pointed the finger at the Chinese Football Association.

In 2008, the Chinese men's senior team missed the top 10 of the Asian World Cup in South Africa, the Olympic team held in August missed the wireless, and the U16 national youth team lost all three games in October, and the U19 national youth team also failed to break into the semi-finals and missed the World Youth Championship.

Within a year, the four major were empty, and the root cause of the failure naturally pointed directly to the Football Association.

The layman leads the insider, which leads to a significant drop in performance.

Especially the women's football team and the national youth team, the women's football team has been integrated from the world-class in 06 by the Football Association to the current second-rate in Asia, and the U19 Asian Youth Championship has a thigh Tang Zheng who missed the semi-finals.

However, most of the media thought that the U19 Asian Youth Championship missed the semi-finals because it was related to the head coach Liu Chunming, after all, he had a big problem in tactics and employment, and Asia's top young players like Tang Zheng did not appear on the penalty list, what else can be said?

During the 10 days of the international break, Tang Zheng and Bonanott and other teammates spent time at the training base.

With the growth of the run-in time of the game, Tang Zheng is like a fish in water in the latest tactical system, and River Plate's results are getting better and better.

The on-the-spot counter-robbery in the front court perfectly makes up for the defensive hidden dangers brought about by the premise of Tang Zheng's position, but this compensation is based on abundant physical fitness.

Fortunately, in addition to the captain Ortega, the current starting lineup of River Plate is older, and it is the right winger Rosales, but he is only 28 years old this year, and his physical condition and game experience are at their peak.

At the end of the international break, Falcao, who represented Colombia, returned to the club feeling a muscular discomfort, and Simeone, to be on the safe side, did not take Falcao away in the eighth round of the league away against Atlético FC.

The lack of Falcao on the front line affected the attack to a certain extent, but Tang Zheng's tandem attack at the expense of physical strength, coupled with the occasional insertion into the penalty area to fight for a header, caused a great threat to the defense of the athletic, resulting in the Athletic team's back line taking care of one or the other, and Bonanott took advantage of the chaos in the penalty area to shoot the ball into the goal.

And this goal was also the only goal scored in the game between River Plate and Athletic.

After playing Athletic's away league game, the next game will be crucial for River Plate as they host Liga Cruzeiro in the middle of next week.

Cruzeiro is now unbeaten in the last four rounds with three wins and one draw, three points ahead of River Plate, who have won two games, drawn one and lost one of the four games, and are top of Group E, which means that the outcome of this game is important for both sides, especially for River Plate.

Third-placed Quito Sporting are only two points away from River Plate, and if River Plate can't win at home, then if Quito Sport, who are also sitting at home, beat Bolivia's Souc University at the bottom of the group, River Plate will likely fall to third place in the group, and qualifying from the group is in doubt.

And River Plate suffered a heavy defeat to Cruzeiro in the first round, so River Plate must win the game at home no matter what.

With two days to go until the fifth round of the Copa Libertadores, the entire Cruzeiro team arrived in Buenos Aires by flight to prepare for the upcoming group stage of the Copa Libertadores.

I don't know if it is the reason why the past four rounds of three wins and one draw are unbeaten, or the reason why they once beat River Plate by three goals at home, the Cruzeiro players who visited the Monumental Stadium in this game performed very easily, and even bluntly said in the face of interviews with Brazilian media that they came to Argentina to win.

This immediately caused extreme dissatisfaction among River Plate fans, captain Ortega said in an interview with reporters: "We have achieved 14 consecutive unbeaten home games in the past, with a winning rate of 80%, so the next victory must be our River Plate!"

Speaking to Brazilian media before acclimatizing to the pitch, Cruzeiro midfielder Ramirez responded to Ortega's response: "In world football, players who call themselves experienced like to make a big splash before a game, don't forget it...... Two months ago, we beat River Plate by three goals without much effort!"

Head coach Joel Santana was a staunch supporter of his lover Ramirez's remarks, saying in front of dozens of media outlets: "We're here for victory!"

"Sooner or later, you have to pay it back. The good thing is that the Brazilian media found Tang Zheng who made the scapegoat for Cruzeiro's home win over River Plate, and they originally wanted to embarrass Tang Zheng, who knew that Tang Zheng, who was interviewed by the media, would say-for-tat: "While there is no game yet, let them (Cruzeiro) be as arrogant as possible, I firmly believe that we have enough strength to win by three goals at home." ”

Suddenly, there was an uproar among media reporters.

The reporter of "Global News" almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood after hearing it, and he sneered at Tang Zheng, who was making a lot of nonsense: "As the biggest person responsible for River Plate's loss, where did you get your confidence?"

Tang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and said disappreciably: "Just because my name is Tang Zheng!

After that, he bypassed the media and entered the training ground without giving the other Brazilian journalists time to react.

When Tang Zheng's words reached the ears of the Cruzeiro players, it was natural for the players on both sides to start a new round of war of words, and more and more people joined as time went on.

The battle for qualification and standings in the group has become so explosive that fans from both sides have even argued and brawled in the streets of Buenos Aires, which could have led to even greater clashes had it not been for the preparation of the local police.

This, combined with the historical ties of Brazil and Argentina, makes this Copa Libertadores group stage even more interesting.

And for the media, the more fierce the two sides of the game, the more they like it.

Before the start of the game, in the home team's dressing room, head coach Simeone fanned the fighting emotions of his players according to the plan: "I don't think everyone should forget the heavy defeat we had at the Mineiro Arena two months ago, right?"

Speaking of this, he paused consciously, and glanced at the starting eleven, and everyone's brows shrank very much.

Especially Tang Zheng, who was hailed by the media as the biggest sinner in the away defeat of River Plate, his hands were naturally clenched unconsciously, and his eyes revealed a sense of war.

"Didn't forget!"

Captain Ortega, who had worked with Simeone in the national team, didn't know that this was Simeone's routine?

Simeone nodded in satisfaction and continued: "Since everyone here has not forgotten that fiasco, should we return the fiasco to them in this game?"

"A must!"

Led by captain Ortega, the other team members shouted in unison.

The emotions of the players were high, and Simeone did not say anything more, but repeated the techniques and tactics arranged before the game to strengthen the impression.

※※※

The various materials prepared by Cruzeiro before the game all prove that Tang Zheng is the absolute core of the River Plate team, so they are very jealous of Tang Zheng.

Fluminense, who visited the Monumental Stadium in the first leg of the 1/4 finals of the Copa Libertadores last year, suffered a lot from Tang Zheng, and if it weren't for his cumulative yellow card suspension in the second leg, it would be difficult to say who would advance to the semi-finals.

So how to contain Tang Zheng in this game has become a key problem for Cruzeiro coach Joel Santana to overcome before the game.

In the end, after discussing with his assistants, he decided not to let Tang Zheng pass and receive the ball comfortably, no matter where he was on the court, someone had to interfere with his passing and receiving the ball.

Tang Zheng has a strong ability to resist pressure and runs actively, but the Cruzeiro players anticipated the enemy's opportunity and implemented a partial full-court marking of Tang Zheng.

Judging by the last twenty-odd minutes of play, Joel Santana's tactics have been successful.

Cruzeiro's players on the field not only did not give Tang Zheng a comfortable opportunity to play, but also interfered closely before he got the ball, so that as time went on, his teammates did not dare to pass the ball.

Simeone came to the home team's coach's technical command area early, and although Tang Zheng is currently restricted, although it has no impact on the defense, the offense is difficult to develop.

The midfield lacks Tang Zheng's tandem, the attack lacks a sense of layering, and it is difficult to create opportunities with a simple two-wing ball, and it is very difficult for the well-known Falcao to find opportunities.

However, Simone Hai didn't think of a solution, and it was a little too early to adjust, so the dilemma he encountered could only rely on Tang Zheng to adjust himself.

In order to be able to get the football, Tang Zheng retreated very deeply, even deeper than the central defender Cabral who was dragged at the back.

As in the past, Cruzeiro striker Wellington Paulista continued to push forward, denying Tang Zheng an easy opportunity to observe the situation on the field.

"Hey!"

Tang Zheng sighed lightly, passed the ball back to goalkeeper Daniel Bega, and then pulled away to receive the ball.

Wellington Paulista did not continue to follow, but returned to his own center circle, but as long as Tang Zheng got the ball within a radius of five meters, he did not hesitate to step forward to interfere.

And when Tang Zheng runs to the front court without the ball, regardless of whether he has the ball or not, the nearby Cruzeiro players will come over to exert pressure.

"Halfway through the first half, River Plate haven't created any dangerous attacks, Joel Santana's tactics have been successful......! The revenge that River Plate players talked about before the game will be difficult to achieve. ESPN Football Channel commentator Mike Gervin said.

In the blink of an eye, thirty minutes had passed, and River Plate's attack still did not improve.

During this time, Tang Zheng kicked very aggrieved, so he decided to take a risk.

Anyway, in the middle and backfield, he is also being targeted by the opponent, so it is better to go to the front to find opportunities......

Why does the other party have to work so hard?

Isn't it because he's the heart of River Plate's attack?

So if you move forward, you will attract too much attention from them, and the rest of your teammates will gain a local advantage......
