Chapter 0028: Cold Bench

In the ninth round of the 2008 Argentine Youth League, River Plate Youth welcomed a modest opponent at home, Independiente Mendoza. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When assistant coach Christian Pizzi read out the starting list, there was an uproar in the team because Tang Zheng was left out of the starting list.

Obviously, they thought of Tang Zheng's unpleasantness with head coach Igabi Fabiani at the training ground a few days ago, and Tang Zheng's strength was excluded from the starting list, and this is the only reason......

Matteo Musacchio immediately calmed his friend's mood and patted Tang Zheng on the shoulder: "Don't think too much, Boratti is back from injury, and the opponent in this game is not strong, I think the old man just wants to see how his state recovers." ”

Tang Zheng didn't care much, because he had already been mentally prepared.

In this home game, River Plate's youth team beat the youth team from Mendoza in the second division.

3:0

Boratti didn't play his first game back at the same level, but Igabi Fabiani insisted on letting him play the whole game, which means ...... Tang Zheng sat on the cold bench for a full ninety minutes.

Paolo Andrés, who came to the scene to interview Tang Zheng, felt that the situation was wrong, and his peers also thought so, after several rounds of league comparison, Tang Zheng's strength was obviously stronger than Boratti.

Soon, another possibility came to their minds.

Don't...... Is it to hide Tang Zheng?

Preparing for the next round away to Boca Juniors?

If this is really the case, then the next round of the youth league is worth looking forward to, you must know that Tang Zheng and Boca Juniors have a story!

Almost everyone now knows that one of the strongest defenders in River Plate's youth team is none other than Tang Zheng, the substitute for last year's Boca youth tryout.

When the enemy meets, his eyes are red, and when the time comes, he will ...... The competition is sure to be extremely intense.

Therefore, Paul Andrés did not ask Tang Zheng privately, for fear of affecting Tang Zheng's preparations, and when Tang Zheng performed well in the game, he could publish the content of the interview.

Diego Simeone didn't pay much attention to the youth team because of the opponent he was about to face, and just like everyone else, he simply thought that Igabi Fabiani was hiding Tang Zheng in preparation for the next round of Boca Juniors, after all, the opponents in this round of the league are not strong.

Why use a knife to kill a chicken?

But...... Tang Zheng, the youth team that River Plate challenged Boca Juniors, was still not in the starting line-up, and he sat on the bench for a full 90 minutes.

River Plate's youth team also suffered their first defeat in the youth league of the new season.

0:2

River Plate (Youth) lost away to Boca Juniors.

Tang Zheng sat on the bench for two consecutive games, a total of 180 minutes, and people couldn't help but notice a hint of clues, especially those reporters with a keen sense of smell.

Therefore, at the end of the game, most reporters did not choose to interview the winning Boca Juniors, but went to interview the head coach of River Plate Juniors, Igabi Fabiani, and asked him why he did not send Tang Zheng.

Judging from the past few league games, Tang Zheng's role is obvious, not to mention how much help he has for the team on the offensive end, at least on the defensive end, it can be completely reassuring, and it is unreasonable not to send Tang Zheng in this focus battle.

Igabi Fabiani's answer was quite dry, saying: "Don hasn't been training very well lately, so he didn't play on the field. ”

But how can such an answer dispel the reporter's curiosity?

no!

The reporter of the "Ole Daily" could not help but ask rhetorically: "Since the training state is not excellent, why should he be included in the 18-man squad? This is very unreasonable...... Is there a problem within the team?"

Igabi Fabiani's face immediately darkened, and he angrily reprimanded: "I am the head coach of the team, and it is my responsibility to lose, but please don't use your imagination and don't send him out, in addition to the state reasons, there are also tactical reasons!"

Of course, the reporters will not let Igabi Fabiani go easily, but Igabi Fabiani twisted his ass and walked away, and the reporters could only look at each other.

Paolo Andrés looked at Igabi Fabiani's back and fell into deep thought.

Could it be ...... Is it really a contradiction between the generals?

In fact, this possibility is the greatest, otherwise it would be impossible for Igabi Fabiani to put Tang Zheng on the bench for two consecutive rounds.

If this is really the case, then Tang Zheng's career will basically come to an end.

In other words, the first partner of Paolo Andrés' journalist career was about to be strangled in the cradle, but he was not reconciled, and edited a text message as soon as possible.

Half an hour later, Tang Zheng replied with a text message: Two weeks ago, I had an argument with the head coach.

It's over......

River Plate and Boca Juniors are Argentina's two giants, and the two clubs are rivals for a century, so the two meetings each season are full of red and yellow cards.

The success or failure of the youth team indirectly reflects the youth training strength of this team, and it just so happens that the youth training of River Plate and Boca Juniors is very strong in Argentina and even in the whole of South America.

But there is no first in the text, there is no second in the martial arts, and there must always be a superior.

However, it was such a game that had to be separated, and River Plate Juniors lost away to Boca Juniors, a result that made River Plate's management a little dissatisfied.

Similarly, first-team manager Diego Simeone was unhappy with the result of the youth team, but to be specific, Igabi Fabiani did not send Tang Zheng on the pitch.

According to his understanding of Tang Zheng, he may not be able to meet the requirements of the first team now, but there is still no problem in playing in the youth league.

If this kind of player appears in the youth training of a relegation team, he will definitely be sent to the first team as soon as possible.

"What the hell does that guy think?" said Simeone with a frown after learning the result.

Jorge Gortillo was instructed by Diego Simeone to pay attention to Tang Zheng, and found that the Chinese youngster's ability is indeed very good, with great potential, and his ability to cope with the youth league is completely fine, and he has not been able to play in two consecutive games, which must be related to the head coach Igabi Fabiani.

Remembering the past few times Diego Simeone and Igabi Fabiani mentioned what kind of tactics can bring out the best power of Tang Zheng, it seems to be ...... It has the meaning of meddling in the youth team.

So he slapped his thigh and said tentatively, "Diego, maybe we can think about it from a different angle, haven't you mentioned to Igabi several times in the past how to bring out the best in Don......?" It seems to contain some tactical changes......"

With that, Jorge Gortillo paused and looked at Diego Simeone.

In terms of seniority, Igabi Fabiani is much older than Diego Simeone, so ......

Suddenly, Diego Simeone came to his senses and said to Jorge Gortillo: "This is a possibility...... Very high. ”

But as the head coach of the first team, Diego Simeone will definitely not admit his mistake with the youth team, and Tang Zheng is innocent, but his ability is not used there, and as the head coach of the youth team, Igabi Fabiani is not to blame.

Indeed, River Plate's youth director Nicolas knocked out Igabi Fabiani that night, saying that the hierarchy was increasingly unhappy with his coaching, especially at the hands of arch-rivals Boca Juniors......

The next day, the newspapers that follow the youth league did some coverage of the youth league focus that ended yesterday.

The headline of the newspaper "Ole" said: "After this game, it is certain that Boca Juniors is the best academy club in the whole of Argentina! In the 90-minute game, whether it is the proportion of possession, or the passing threat, passing, and shooting, Boca Juniors will be far ahead of River Plate Juniors......"

The Nation: "...... Regardless of the quality of the youth in the past, we should live in the present now, and the results of the game tell us that Boca Juniors is the best youth club in Argentina!"

The Clarion had a somewhat different point of view, arguing: "...... In fact, the result of this focus battle actually doesn't say anything, because the lineup sent by River Plate Youth Team in this game is not the strongest, and Don, who previously laid the main midfield, was excluded from the main force due to off-field factors, so there was Boca Juniors Unscrupulous Passing ...... in the middle"

……

Compared to most newspapers that belittle River Plate to foil Boca Juniors, it is clear that the Clarion is more appealing.

Lin Hanyan, an international student responsible for translating the focus incident in South American football into Chinese and sending it back to China, looked at the "Clarion News" in his hand, frowned, and muttered: "Who is this 'Tang' sacred? Why does the "Clarion News" always mention him?"

So, Lin Hanyan flipped through the "Clarion" newspaper more than a month ago, and finally found a section of news with the headline 'Tang' as the headline.

Could it be the same person?

After ten minutes of her judgment, it was indeed the same person.

Then he looked at the newspaper with 'Tang' as the headline background, with delicate facial features, two sword eyebrows, big eyes, and a very energetic look...... Obviously an Oriental.

Could it be the Chinese?

Thinking of this, Lin Hanyan was taken aback by his own thoughts.

Although she is not a serious fan, she still knows the level of domestic football relatively well, and can dominate the Argentine Youth League, is it something that Chinese can do?

While denying it, she was not sure.

So...... She decided to find time to go to the training ground of the River Plate youth team, and if the 'Tang' in the newspaper was really Chinese, then... But a big surprise!
