Chapter 0084 - Third Yellow Card
After Tang Zheng completed the turn, he wanted to complete the extreme card position defense according to Conca's smashing direction and touch strength, but he didn't expect Conca's reaction speed to be faster, so he dunked the ball back in advance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The physical distance between the two was not far away, and after Conca's two consecutive forward smashes made the two closer, Tang Zheng couldn't dodge even if he wanted to.
So, Conca hit Tang Zheng's sturdy back, and then fell backwards, a Venus.
Immediately after, the referee's whistle sounded.
River Plate coach Diego Simeone kept his eyes on the referee until his right hand reached his trouser pocket......
Abel Claudio, a commentator for TYC Sports TV, looked at the referee who showed a yellow card on the screen, and suddenly remembered that Tang Zheng had won a yellow card in the past two 1/8 finals, which means that this is his third yellow card in the Copa Libertadores.
According to the Copa Libertadores' cumulative yellow card suspension, as long as three yellow cards are accumulated before the semi-finals, one match is automatically suspended.
Abel Claudio exclaimed: "Oh my God, Don will be automatically suspended for River Plate's second leg away to Fluminense!
"I very much agree with Abel that although Don is very young and has played a limited number of official professional league games, he has contributed a lot to River Plate, and aside from this game, he has contributed two goals and three assists in the last five games, as well as 27 clearances and 23 tackles......
Shorely Termer said as he prepared the information in advance.
"So Don's role for River Plate is very obvious, both offensively and defensively, he has a high contribution rate, and if you look at the overall contribution alone, he is definitely River Plate's best player in May!" said Abel Claudio.
Tang Zheng on the court didn't realize that he would miss the second leg of the 1/4 finals, he only knew that the action just now was a bit big, and it was a normal result to get a yellow card, and it was not a red card anyway, so he didn't think about justifying himself with the referee and waiting for goalkeeper Juan Carriço to arrange the human wall.
It is about 27 meters away from the goal, which is more suitable for a direct free kick with the left foot, which should not be underestimated.
Diego Simeone, who was standing on the field, shook his head when he saw Tang Zheng's indifferent face.
During the intermission, I vaguely reminded him, but I didn't expect it to be too vague but it caused Tang Zheng's carelessness, and I knew that it would be OK to tell him directly that he had two yellow cards.
There is no if in the world, and even if Tang Zheng knows that he will be suspended for a yellow card in this game, he will not bury a pit for his teammates, and he must shoulder the responsibility he shoulders!
※※※
Conca swept Fluminense's free-kicks and corners in front of him, and his footwork was naturally outstanding, so Juan Carriço didn't dare to slack off and put out a wall of five.
Despite this, Conca's direct free-kick found space in his own wall-to-wall tactics.
"--Whoa!!"
With a burst of exclamations from the stands, the commentator of Argentine National Television Channel 5 was relieved and said with palpitations: "Fortunately, Juan's reaction was fast enough, otherwise the ball would have hung ......"
On the field, the River Plate players punched goalkeeper Juan Carriso to express their encouragement, especially Tang Zheng, who gave him the set-piece, and Juan Carriso saved the ball to help him.
Conca was a little disappointed not to send the free-kick into the back of the net, tugging at his hair with both hands and then taking a corner.
This corner did not pose any threat, the football landed on the central defender Thiago Silva, Tang Zheng had already consciously approached the tall but very good central defender, so he easily pressed the opponent to clear the ball, Ahumada, who was guarding the middle of the penalty line, added a kick, and the football flew to Fluminense's half.
The crisis is over, but for Diego Simeone it is far from over.
Now Tang Zheng has a yellow card on his back, which means that Fluminense's attacking players will consciously approach him and try to make fouls.
Really!
Whenever Fluminense gets an opportunity to attack, they will look for opportunities here with Tang Zheng, intentionally or unintentionally.
Even if you can't cause a foul, you can always take advantage of the young lad's mentality of avoiding the important and light, right?
But the idea is good, but the reality is a little cruel.
Conca, who has excellent skills, can find Tang Zheng, and Alan Alain, a striker with rough feet, also comes to find confidence.
Isn't this looking for abuse?
Tang Zheng didn't care about the yellow card on his back in the face of Alan who was speeding up with the ball, and made a defensive action of falling to the ground and putting a shovel at the moment when the opponent changed direction.
So Alain's footing connection rate was half a beat slower, and the football was left at Tang Zheng's feet, and he also fell to the ground due to inertia.
The referee was in a good position, so he ignored the complaints of the Fluminense players and signaled for the game to continue.
A burst of shouts also sounded in the stands, and Tang Zheng completed this wonderful defense and praised the referee.
And Diego Simeone, who was standing on the sidelines, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, he was really scared just now.
As long as there is a slight mistake in the defensive action of putting the tackle, the referee will be warned or directly yellow carded, and if the danger is high, it will even be directly red carded.
Of course, Tang Zheng knew the action of falling to the ground and putting the shovel, and every time he put the shovel, the spikes were close to the ground.
In addition, the game at home can make Tang Zheng more excited, and the sliding tackle on the ground is not only a large defensive area, but also a strong deterrent.
However, the most important reason is that the falling sliding tackle can bring Tang Zheng a strong sense of achievement, for many defensive players, the falling sliding tackle is a defensive action made to make up for the lack of defensive space, but for Tang Zheng is not like this, many times he can rely on the advantage of height and long legs to complete the defense, but he often chooses the more difficult falling sliding tackle......

Mexili Ramalho frowned, he originally thought that Tang Zheng, who got a yellow card, would become a hole in River Plate's defense, but after five minutes of verification, Tang Zheng, who got a yellow card, had no intention of kicking at all, and he could kick how he wanted.
This kind of player is often very difficult, no matter what you do, he just has to be tough with you, and the key is to complete the task well.
In the time when Fluminense's players consciously looked for Tang Zheng for fouls and mistakes, River Plate also played two quick counter-attacks, but the results were not good and did not score.
The score was still 1:0
Seeing that the second half of the game is about to pass, Diego Simeone is very anxious, and a goal difference at home is not enough insurance!
Three minutes later, River Plate made a second change, with Bonanuete coming on for Rosales, who were not in good form for the game.
At this time, the visitors Fluminense have yet to make a single personnel change.
Therefore, the commentator Abel Claudio gave his own doubts: "River Plate, which is playing at home, has made two substitutions, and Fluminense, who is lagging behind, is not moving, what kind of medicine is being sold in Mecily Ramalho's gourd?"
In fact, Messiri Ramalho himself did not think about it, the effect of playing two wings is not obvious, and the same is true of playing the middle of the field, so he can only continue to respond to all changes with the same.
In terms of River Plate, Bonanott's offense has improved significantly since he came on the pitch, with Tang Zheng, Sanchez, Falcao and Bonanotte practicing together every day during this time, and the level of tacit understanding is definitely better than that of other teammates.
It's just that the visiting Fluminense defence was very focused, especially against Falcao.
Coupled with Thiago Silva's rising form, his defensive awareness has always been able to turn a dangerous situation into a dangerous situation.
In addition, only one goal away from River Plate is acceptable for Fluminense......
So this period of time is very difficult for both sides of the game, but this is the time when it is easiest to score goals.
The game went into 75 minutes, and the fitness of most players on both sides reached a critical point.
At this time, the competition is more about willpower, as long as you persist for about 80 minutes, you are a good man.
As a result, the running ability of both sides dropped to a pole, with the exception of Domingo and Bonanotte, who came on as substitutes in the second half.
But due to the influence of the whole, their role is not obvious.
Tang Zheng's physical fitness seemed relatively abundant at this time, and he also felt that the team as a whole was affected by the critical point of physical fitness, so he took advantage of the gap between Juan Carriço's preparations to kick off the goal kick and pulled Ahumada: "Hey, captain...... Wait until you make up for me first, I'm in good health, a little bit ahead, you can just take advantage of this time to recover your fitness, okay?"
"Huh?" Ahumada's brow furrowed, and at the same time, his brain was running at high speed, and he did not refuse, but he raised his concern: "The coach's side?"
Tang Zheng waved his hand: "Anla, it's okay...... As long as there are goals, the coach won't care so much!"
Hearing the word 'goal', Ahumada perked up: "Are you sure you can score?"
Ahumada's rhetorical question is equivalent to the task issued by the domestic leader to his subordinates, as a subordinate, he must answer 'guarantee the completion of the task', and this time Tang Zheng is no exception, patting his chest and saying: "It is necessary!"
