Chapter 0122: Fatal Mistake (Sixteenth Update!Asking for a Monthly Pass!)
Boca Juniors coach Ischea realized that this situation could not be allowed to continue, otherwise the team would be finished, because Tang Zheng's form in this game was too amazing, both offensive and defensive, and his own attack has not had any effect so far. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Just now, Riquelme finally passed a penetrating through ball, but in the end, Tang Zheng, who ran back, cleared the ball, and his heart was congested!
Falling behind by one goal even reminded him of the game he lost at home in the fall league in the first half of the year.
1:3
Without a doubt, it was a great shame in the history of Boca!
The biggest reason for Boca's loss in that game was that he underestimated Tang Zheng, so that the team lost at home.
After five months, it's Tang Zheng again!
Before the game, he fully told the players to pay attention to restricting Tang Zheng, and to consciously bypass Tang Zheng in the offense to have a success rate.
However, Tang Zheng actually showed his best game form this season.
Damn it!
Don't...... Is he Boca's nemesis?
Interestingly, Boca Juniors President Mauricio Macri, who was sitting in the VIP seat, had a blue face, and next to him was Simon, the sporting director who didn't dare to breathe.
When River Plate scored just now, River Plate chairman Aquilar jumped from his seat and raised his arms and shouted, looking completely unlike a noble club president.
But everyone in the VIP table knew that it was just Aquilar's desire to give Mauricio Macri a look.
Who asked Boca Youth to personally throw Tang Zheng's piece of jade?
This is also the fundamental reason why Simon, the director of Boca Youth Sports, does not dare to take a breather.
At this moment, a deafening chant erupted again in the sky above the Monument Stadium.
Replay in slow motion, the original ...... Tang Zheng had just beaten Paletta in a corner kick from River Plate and headed the ball towards goal, goalkeeper Juan Garcia even surrendered on the spot, but the Monumental goalpost helped them, and the ball hit the crossbar before being headed off the line by a well-reacted Caceles.
The president of River Plate, Aquilar, who was full of desire, held his head in his hands in pain and looked regretful.
The face of Boca Juniors Mauricio Macri, who was sitting next to him, turned the color of pig's liver......
※※※
Tang Zheng, who passed by the goal, expressed considerable regret, in the camera, he was holding his hair with both hands, and there was a trace of pain between his eyebrows.
How difficult it is to score as a midfielder......
What's more important is that the goal in this game is related to whether he can participate in the Asian Youth Championship in Saudi Arabia at the beginning of next month, and he is in a hurry!
Three minutes later, Tang Zheng scrambled for the football landing point again in a free kick attack on his side.
Unfortunately, the ball flew off the bottom line by grazing the near corner post of the goal and hit the billboard behind the goal.
"What a pity!"
Abel Claudio, the commentator of TYC Sports TV, is feeling sorry for Tang Zheng.
Simeone saw Tang Zheng miss the goal again, and he had a hunch that Tang Zheng was likely to score two goals in this game and lead the team to victory.
Previously, he calculated that if Tang Zheng went to Saudi Arabia to participate in the Asian Youth Championship, he would miss at least five league games, accounting for 1/4 of the league.
However, a victory in this game will minimize the loss of Tang Zheng's absence from the league, after all, the league's biggest rival is Boca Juniors.
During Tang Zheng's active time, Boca Juniors coach Ischea stood on the sidelines and frequently shouted to remind players to concentrate on the game, coupled with goalkeeper Juan Garcia's improved form, to keep the goal intact.
In the blink of an eye, the game was at the end of the first half.
River Plate's attack continued unabated, with Sanchez and Bonanuete making full use of their small and agile characteristics on the flanks to stir up Boca Juniors' two wings.
It's a bit of a shame that striker Falcao didn't seem to be in great form today, otherwise River Plate would have gone into the dressing room with at least a two-goal lead before half-time.
"Control, control, let this score go into halftime!" Simeone reminded as he stood on the sidelines, making a gesture of pressing down with his hands.
Ortega, who originally wanted to attack, did not hesitate, pulled the ball back and passed it to Tang Zheng in the 35-meter offensive area, and he controlled the rhythm of the game for the rest of the first half.
In fact, Tang Zheng still wanted to hold the ball and divert the direction of attack, but after seeing the serious expression of head coach Simeone, he gave up this idea, turned the ball around, and passed the ball to his friend Musacchio, who was gradually gaining game time.
And he also returned to a deeper position, which is currently the most popular midfield position in international football, between the two central defenders.
The referee saw that the offensive desire of the players on both sides was not strong, so he decisively sounded the whistle when the game time was forty-five minutes into the game.
※※※
Players from both sides walked to the tunnel separately, and as is customary, the live director should sweep the camera to the players who performed well in the first half.
What is surprising is that when the camera shows Tang Zheng, his expression does not have the heartfelt joy of other teammates, but frowns slightly, bowing his head to communicate with Sanchez and Falcao.
It's as if it's the riverbed that lags behind.
In Tang Zheng's heart, if the corner kick in the first half can seize the opportunity, then he only needs to focus on defense in the second half, and the task can be completed at that time......
What a pity!
All the way to the locker room, Tang Zheng also pulled Sanchez, Bonanot and Falcao to discuss how to cooperate to score goals in the second half, after all, the opponent is Boca Juniors, which should not be underestimated.
※※※
Fifteen minutes of half-time adjustment time passed quickly, and the two sides changed sides again in the second half.
Neither Simeone nor Ischea made any changes to the players on the pitch and seemed to be happy with the performance of the players on the pitch.
However, the tactical play of both sides was different from the first half, the home team was more inclined to control the game, while the visitors strengthened the high pressing in the front court, and did not allow the home team to easily organize an effective attack, and even Riquelme, who has not been very active in defense, has rarely defended actively.
Simeone realised that Boca Juniors had stepped up their pressing high post, so he ran to the sidelines to remind his players to play the ball quickly and use passes to drain the opponent's energy.
Because River Plate's frontcourt is a small and fast combination, if you choose to make a direct long pass in the face of Boca's high pressing, it is tantamount to handing over control of football to Boca.
That's why Simeone asked his players to get the ball out quickly, and he didn't believe Boca Juniors' high press could last long.
At the same time, he also asked Tang Zheng to increase the range of running and connect the team's midfield and midfield.
The cheers in the stands were still loud and they hoped that their team would score another goal to seal the win.
The home and away double defeat of Boca is very exciting to think about.
Tang Zheng returned to the middle line to receive the ball again to organize the team's attack, and Gaitan, who was close to this side, rushed over brainlessly for the first time, trying to break the ball.
However, at one end of Tang Zheng's arch, the football was kicked back to central defender Cabrral, and at the same time, the position was pulled deeper, almost at the same level as Cabral holding the ball.
What left Tang Zheng speechless was that Gaitan did not assist Palacio to force Cabrral, but kept stuck in the route that Cabral passed to him.
What a feud this is?
In fact, this situation has been going on for most of the time, and as long as Tang Zheng is in Gaitan's coverage area, then he will not hesitate to restrict Tang Zheng.
This time, Tang Zheng's method of getting rid of it was the same as before, his left leg took an exaggerated step back, and at the same time his upper body reached forward, giving Gaitan the feeling that Tang Zheng was going to go deeper into the formation to catch the ball and connect the midfield.
The offensive master Gaitan is a defensive rookie, and he was deceived by Tang Zheng into running forward two steps.
Next, Tang Zheng completed a 180-degree turn and ran in the opposite direction of Gaitan, Cabral passed a small straight line very thief, Tang Zheng took a long step in the run, and stopped the ball at his feet.
By the time Gaitan realized that he had been deceived by Tang Zheng's feints again, it was too late, because Tang Zheng had already stepped on the halfway line, and the team's formation moved forward as a whole.
A succession of passes up front was eventually completed by Falcao on the line of the penalty area, but the shot was slightly straight and was held in the arms of goalkeeper Juan Garcia.
For about 15 minutes into the second half, the visiting Boca Juniors were the first to make a personnel change, replacing the veteran Palermo who did not have much effect with Ledesma, and then pushing Gaitan up front to partner Palacio, always maintaining their usual 442 formation.
River Plate, who had been scoreless, became a little anxious, especially Tang Zheng, who was less than half an hour away from the full game time as the clock ticked by, and he stepped forward even more.
This is not a good sign for the river bed as a whole......
Of course, Simeone was also aware of this, but he did not ask Tang Zheng to retreat, but stood on the sidelines and observed.
Anyway, the team doesn't have a good way to attack now, so it's better to let Tang Zheng try his luck.
"- Don, straight stop!"
As soon as the commentator Abel Claudio's words fell, Paletta stretched out his foot in advance to intercept the ball passed by Tang Zheng to Falcao.
Finished!
River Plate switched from offense to defense, and the frontcourt players counter-attacked on the spot.
However, the Boca players had already been mentally prepared, and the Argentine players generally had excellent foot skills, and the football soon reached Riquelme's feet.
Tang Zheng's position was too far forward, and the responsibility of defending Riquelme fell to Poncio, who was dragging behind.
But Riquelme didn't wait for Poncio to be in position and sent a penetrating through ball straight from the arc of his own centre circle that almost cut through the entire back line of River Plate.
The football rolled at high speed to Boca to attack the left side, and Ledesma, who had just been replaced on the field in the second half, cut in at high speed, and faced Cabral who came in a hurry, Ledesma made a quick stop and chose to go inside, and then passed to the striker Palacio who was inserted behind.
Musacchio was physically strong and pressed his body against Palacio to prevent the opponent from lifting his speed.
However, Palacio only made a false shot, the ball slipped under his feet, and Gaitan, who was cut in from behind, took the ball and cut into the box.
Despite his speed and defensive awareness, Musacchio did not dare to foul in the box.
Gaitan also took a fancy to Musacchio, who had only played in the first team this season, and he picked up his right foot to hit the goal while running, and the deceived Musacchio blocked the ball sideways, and then picked up his left foot to hit the goal with a slight adjustment, and kicked a ball close to the ground.
The ball rolled into the far corner, and Juan Ojeda fell sideways to stretch his body, but his fingertips were still a certain distance from the football......
Eventually, the ball grazed the far post and rolled into the goal.
Boca Juniors equalized with a quick counter-attack!
