With Tang Zheng returning to the main lineup, River Plate's youth team has become more and more stable, and the ranking is slowly rising.

By late March, River Plate's youth team was back in third place, but only four points away from the top of the table, Estudiantes de La Plata.

And this distance can be narrowed even further, because after one round, River Plate will be a guest to take on Estudiantes de La Plata, and if they can win the match, the points will become one point.

A game worth six points.

During this time, Tang Zheng would find Matteo Mousacchio to practice his headers after training every day, and now his heading skills have improved rapidly.

Even Matteo Mousacchio, who has the strongest header ability in the youth team, has difficulty taking advantage of Tang Zheng, who has the advantage of height, so head coach Igabi Fabiani has begun to think about developing tactics around Tang Zheng in the set-piece tactical drill.

is still the same sentence, the big man of 1.93 meters is not used there, it is equivalent to destroying the heavens, and there will be retribution!

Tang Zheng's performance in the youth league has become more and more stable, which has also caused some teams in the middle and lower reaches of the A-League to want to loan Tang Zheng, and even some clubs want to buy out Tang Zheng at a fixed price, but these olive branches have all been vetoed by River Plate chairman Dan Maria Aquilar.

He knows that young players who can cause a heated argument between the first-team manager and the youth manager are certainly not in the pool.

Besides, he has also watched Tang Zheng's game, he is very general-like, his defensive running is very active, and he can help the team's offense while completing his own work.

In time, it will become a great thing.

If you want to buy a semi-finished product from River Plate, don't even think about it!

Of course, the reason why some clubs proposed to River Plate on loan or buy out Tang Zheng is directly related to Fibino Rodrygo, who was very anxious when Tang Zheng couldn't play in the youth team and helped him contact other teams as soon as possible.

But what I didn't expect was that things were handled so quickly, and Tang Zheng also returned to the main lineup, and finding a home naturally became a useless move.

On March 25th, River Plate Youth welcomed their 13th round opponent at home, against a weaker opponent from Belgrano Youth, a side from the second division.

In this game, Tang Zheng continued to start and played as a single back.

After all, the opponent is too weak, and the double back is completely unnecessary.

With Tang Zheng's excellent running ability and huge coverage area, a single back is more than enough.

And the process of the game also verified this, as a single back Tang Zheng can not only complete anything well on the defensive end, but also use accurate long passes to enrich the team's offensive routines when attacking.

Assistant coach Christian Pizzi, who was sitting in the dugout, joked: "I think it won't be long before Don is promoted to the first team." ”

Igabi Fabiani raised his eyebrows and said, "Don, it's still early." ”

Christian Pizzi smiled and didn't answer, instead continuing to focus on the pitch.

The same is true of Igabi Fabiani, who is on defense Tang Zheng strides sideways, and while his long legs step out, his ass pouts back, and a reasonable body position completely cuts off the connection between the ball and the ball carrier.

Tang Zheng did not stick to the ball and chose to hand the ball to the receiving left wing-back.

The midfielder who lost the ball naturally rushed to the left back, Tang Zheng looked left and right, and was nearly three meters away from the nearest opposing player, so he took a few steps back and stretched out his hand to signal the left back to pass the ball over.

The left-back did not hesitate, he immediately knocked the ball across to Tang Zheng in the open space, who saw the opportunity of Gustavo Fernández's forward insertion, chose to pick up his right foot without stopping the ball and played a long pass, and the ball fell into the vacuum of Belgrano's youth defense with a strong backspin in mid-air.

Gustavo Fernández, meanwhile, suddenly accelerated to break away from the opposition back line like a tiger from the mountain.

He naturally tightened his arms during the high-speed run, and used his chest and part to plot the ball forward, and stabbed it singlely!

The Belgrano youth defender who was behind stood still and raised his hand to signal Gustavo Fernandez for offside, but the linesman remained unmoved and kept running.

Other words...... No offside!

It wasn't too difficult for River Plate's leading goalscorer, Gustavo Fernandez, who used a realistic feint to shake off the goalkeeper and slotted the ball into the empty net.

"If Don can deliver an assist like that in the fall league, maybe ...... There will really be a place for him in the first team. Igabi Fabiani muttered to himself as he looked at Tang Zheng, who was hugging Gustavo Fernandez in celebration of his goal.

It was the last goal of the game, as River Plate Youth beat Belgrano Youth 6-0 at home.

※※※

Three days later, River Plate Juniors visited Estudiantes de La Plata, a match that was positioned as the focal point of this round of youth league matches, with a direct clash between the first and third places.

If Estudiantes de La Plata can win at home against River Plate, they will further secure the top spot, while a victory for River Plate will close the points between them.

So it was a game that could not be lost for both sides, and playing equal allowed the second-placed Boca Juniors to take advantage of the fisherman.

From the first second of the game, Estudiantes de La Plata attacked the heart of River Plate, with the left side being the most aggressive, and the physical and fast left-back Rojo made the right side of the River Plate youth team miserable.

Tang Zheng has a strong ability to read the game, and before the game, head coach Igabi Fabiani had emphasized the left side of the Estudiantes de La Plata team, so he often came to the right side of the defense to help defend.

Fortunately, the attack of the Estudiantes youth team in La Plata is quite weak in the middle, otherwise even if Tang Zheng's running covers a large area, he would not be able to take into account the middle and the wing.

River Plate's youth training philosophy is to defend in an organized manner, and then use the rapid switching between each other to create counterattacking opportunities for midfield teammates, Tang Zheng's existence seems to be to allow River Plate's youth team to carry forward the youth training concept.

In the 34th minute of the first half, Tang Zheng successfully cut off the ball at Rojo's feet on the right side with the assistance of Shawlili.

He then adjusted a little and sent the ball towards his own attack, and with Rojo not returning, there was a huge vacuum waiting for Gustavo Fernandez to conquer.

River Plate's youth team launched a quick counter-attack, and after two or three passes, it was finally Moro who sent the ball into the goal of Estudiantes de La Plata, and the visiting River Plate youth team led the home team by one goal.

Since 60% of the attack of the Estudiantes de La Plata relied on Rojo on the left side, Tang Zheng's focus on this was equivalent to cutting off one of the arms of the Estudiantes de La Plata.

However, Tang Zheng's energy in the subsequent game was too jealous of Estudiantes' attack on the left side, and he could only focus more on defense, so that he did not have much energy to devote to attacking, and could only occasionally divide the ball, or shift the direction of attack with a big foot, and the game then entered a stalemate.

The score of 1:0 lasted until the end of the match, and River Plate Youth won the leader La Plata Estudiantes on the road, finishing second by one point.

Boca Juniors were held to a draw away by Córdoba Juniors due to carelessness on the road, two points less than River Plate Juniors, and retreated to third place in the Youth League.

It is worth mentioning that although Tang Zheng did not score or directly assist in this key battle, he was still named the best player of the game, and his steals, running distance, clearances, and the number of passes were the most on both sides of the game.

So the best of the game is well deserved.

Tang Zheng regretted that head coach Igabi Fabiani still did not allow these young players to be interviewed by the media, which caused him to lose another opportunity......
