Chapter 0179: King of South America (End of Volume 1)

As the second half entered the fifteenth minute, the Brazilian commentators, who still had expectations for Cruzeiro, had to admit that they were finished. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

With four goals behind on aggregate, half an hour is not enough in any way.

Simeone then began to redeploy his troops, replacing Tiger Falcao with 20-year-old Gustavo Fernandez and 17-year-old Lamela for Bonanotte.

Because he knows that the departure of some players from River Plate is a foregone conclusion, it is better to use the frenetic atmosphere of the Copa Libertadores final to train the young players, especially the seventeen-year-old Lamela, who is a valuable asset for the future of the club.

Watching Lamela get the chance to play in the Copa Libertadores final, his former U17 teammate Lanzini was envious, but then he looked at Tang Zheng, who wore the captain's armband on his left arm, this is the youth legend that youth coaches like to brag about the most, and he must surpass in the future!

Lanzini subconsciously clenched his fists and planted a seed in his heart that yearns for the heart of the strong - the revival of the riverbed will be created by me!

The frenetic atmosphere at the Monumental Stadium did not decline with the departure of the two main players of Falcao and Bonanott, but instead became more and more frenetic, and many fans began to light fireworks in their hands, and the white smoke and red and white paper bands pouring down from the top of the stands made the visual impact very strong.

Abel Claudio, the commentator for TYC Sports, glanced at the match time: 72'26"

2-0 on the scoreboard has not moved, so he is determined to start losing character: "There are at most twenty minutes of injury time in the game, and I believe it is only a matter of time before River Plate lifts the trophy!"

In fact, before this, many Argentine local media commentators have announced River Plate winning the championship in advance, after all, they are leading by four goals, and the away team has no intention of fighting.

The game looked like it was going into garbage time, and River Plate, who was playing at home, knew that it was enough to stop, otherwise the opponent would be kicked in a hurry, and there would be no place to cry.

Cruzeiro began to attack several waves in the second half and found that it was ineffective, so he consciously slowed down the pace of the attack, so the score was now deadlocked.

By the 88th minute, Simeone was ready to play the last card of the game.

Another River Plate Academy standout stood next to the fourth official, waiting for the dead ball.

Many fans have a hunch that the next player to be replaced will likely be Tang Zheng who wears the captain's armband for the first time at home.

Really!

The fourth official's adjusted red number was '31', and the fans slowly stood up from their seats, even though the game had not yet seen a dead ball.

The football came to the feet of Ramirez at the front of the penalty area, he subconsciously dodged the shooting angle and shot from a distance, but the football was blocked by Tang Zheng who was crossing and bounced back, and Parana, who grabbed the second landing point, ignored the kick of 3721, and the football flew directly to the third layer of the stands.

The home fans then gave him a burst of laughter.

Immediately, the referee whistled and pointed to the middle, and the sideline substitution.

The fourth official held up the substitution electronic card, and some fans were stunned for a moment, and then clapped their palms with the unified rhythm of the fans.

Tang Zheng instinctively looked at the sidelines, and the substitution electronic card showed his jersey number.

He knows...... His last game at the Monument Stadium was over.

So, Tang Zheng slowly walked to the sidelines, raised his hands above his head and clapped his palms in response to the thunderous applause of the fans.

He went off the pitch in the same way as Falcao and Bonanott, hugging his team-mates.

Although many media outlets are boasting that River Plate's ability to win three consecutive league titles and reach the Copa Libertadores final has something to do with him, he knows that no matter how hard he tries, he would not have been able to achieve this feat without the silent support of his teammates.

Football is a team game.

"Thank you!"

Every time he hugged a teammate, Tang Zheng would say a word.

The game was a foregone conclusion, and the visiting Cruzeiro players did not cause trouble, and even more so the referee.

When Tang Zheng approached the sidelines, he made a move that the fans of the audience were boiling again.

He grabbed the shirt by the chest, lifted it, and then lowered his head to kiss River Plate's badge.

Goodbye, River Plate!

The home fans in the stands were very powerful, and they didn't stop applauding until Tang Zheng hugged head coach Simeone back to the bench.

And at this time, the palms of those excited fans were even slightly swollen because of the frequent clapping, but they didn't care.

In the thunderous applause, Tang's father and Tang's mother also contributed their own strength.

Their son, great!

Feeling the frenzied atmosphere of the Monument Stadium, He Wei saw Tang Zheng covering his face with a jersey in the camera, his body was trembling rhythmically, so he said emotionally: "This is a season of parting, the air is full of sad smell, everyone will have such an age, at that time we believe that there is eternity in this world, we feel that the time is very long, goodbye is far away, but ......"

"But the price of growing up is to face all kinds of parting, the cruelty of growth, that is, to learn that there is no eternity, there is no feast in the world, there is no shame for lonely people, and no one can hide from parting, sadness, but maybe it happens that this time it hits you. He Wei paused, adjusted his state and continued.

"The day has finally come, and I believe that gold will shine wherever it goes, and it will be the same when Don arrives in Germany. Abel Claudio, a commentator on TYC Sports TV, said.

Sitting on the podium, River Plate President Macri Aquilar and Sports Director Enzo Francescoli sighed a rare sigh of sadness.

Tang Zheng's departure was inevitable, as did Falcao and Bonanot.

Perhaps, this is the end of River Plate's golden generation......

※※※

There were three minutes of stoppage time in the second half, but the referee on duty blew the whistle the moment the regular 90 minutes arrived.

No one was surprised, because with River Plate leading the visiting Cruzeiro 2-0 in the first half, neither side had much to think about in the rest of the game.

Therefore, blowing the end of the game in advance is also a manifestation of the referee's on-the-spot control of extra points.

"The game is over! River Plate defeated the visiting Cruzeiro 2-0 at home with Don's penalty and assist, and they won the 2009 Copa Libertadores with an aggregate score of 5:1!

Abel Claudio said excitedly.

"Even if everyone is very reluctant to see this ending, but the fact must be accepted, Cruzeiro lost 0-2 away to River Plate, they lost 1-5 on aggregate, and unfortunately missed the opportunity to win the Copa Libertadores three ......times! Congratulations to River Plate!You are the champions!!"

Bueno, a commentator on Globo TV in Brazil, shook his head. `

"It's been a perfect season for River Plate! They won the league and now they've won the Copa Libertadores! Congratulations!

Some of the commentators in the commentary booth had just given the end of the game when their voices were drowned out by the shouts of the fans.

The Monument Stadium became a sea of joy after the full whistle sounded.

"Champion champion! River Plate is the champion! We are the king of South America!"

"Great! It's finally our turn to win the championship! Third Copa Libertadores!!"

"We are champions, we are league champions, we are still Copa Libertadores champions, we are double champions!"

Everyone present was cheering and venting the Copa Libertadores championship after 12 years!

Because...... They are the kings of South America this year!

※※※

As soon as head coach Simeone shook hands with Cruzeiro head coach Batista, he was grabbed by the players led by Tang Zheng, and then thrown into the sky brainlessly.

"You bunnies, I'm telling you, it's over!!"

Simone's angry voice was heard in the air.

But Tang Zheng and Falcao, who were the leaders, didn't care, they thought that this was the last game in River Plate anyway, and it had nothing to do with them what they wanted to do in the future.

Yes! It's not about you!

However, what they didn't expect was that one day when they reunited, Tang Zheng and Falcao regretted the decision they had made......

There was no doubt that the Monument Stadium was boiling, and the fans were cheering with life, almost madly roaring.

However, this is not the time of day when the atmosphere is at its highest.

The on-site staff were very efficient, and in less than ten minutes, they set up a simple podium.

Other words...... The grand finale is about to begin.

Tang Zheng, as River Plate's best player this season, deserves to win the best player trophy.

Later, he shared the top scorer of the Copa Libertadores with his teammate Falcao, and Tang Zheng was very happy for this unexpected surprise.

He really didn't expect that after he changed to a midfielder, he would have a chance to be the top scorer, although it was shared......

The highest and most climactic stage of the entire Monumental Stadium was after captain Ortega received the trophy symbolizing the Copa Libertadores from Figueiredo, president of the South American Football Confederation.

Immediately after that, it was the moment when the Copa Libertadores champions felt the trophy.

Tang Zheng's quick eyes, coupled with his proximity to Ortega, grabbed the championship trophy before Falcao and kissed the trophy.

Not to be outdone, Falcao and Bonanot, who were on either side of Tang Zheng, kissed the bottom sides of the trophy respectively.

The reporters in front of the podium pressed the shutter in their hands one after another, and the picture was frozen, and the three River Plate champions kissed the trophy together.

This scene is eternally recorded in the camera and preserved.

Tomorrow, in the future, maybe in years.

It will become a classic, at least in the eyes of River Plate fans and Chinese fans, it is a scene that will never be forgotten.

And this story began in the summer of 2007. (To be continued.) )
