There are few cities in the world that stand still because of a football game, Glasgow, Milan and Manchester. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, there is also a city where the football carnival is unbeatable.

With at least two matches played every year, the Argentine national derby will no longer be a simple match, but more like a national feast that attracts countless eyes.

It's a day when people put work second, things to be done aside, unsettled bills to be forgotten, and nothing more than to cheer on the 90 minutes of battle between River Plate and Boca Juniors.

With two days to go until the Argentine national derby, Buenos Aires is a much more footballing city than ever, and many of the people who take to the streets are wearing Boca Juniors and River Plate jerseys.

The local police in Buenos Aires have long been prepared, and the national super derby, which meets at least twice this year, the police are not careless, a little neglectful, and there will be bloodshed again.

But in many cases, it doesn't mean that accidents won't happen if you're prepared.

In the past two days, there have been at least five brawls on the streets of Buenos Aires, all caused by Boca fans and River Plate fans, for the very simple reason that they were very unhappy to see each other, and then they were beaten together.

The day before the game, Tang Zheng learned through the Internet and newspapers about the frenzied derby atmosphere in Buenos Aires in the past two days, which surprised him, and his past perception of derby was still stuck in the Spanish national derby, Milan derby and Manchester City Stet derby......

Like the Argentine national derby, he paid attention to it for the first time, and at the same time, it was also the first time to see the charm of the derby.

In fact, in the past few days of preparation for the national derby, Diego Simeone and Jorge Gortillo, as well as the players trained by River Plate, have instilled the meaning and spirit of the derby in the players, which is commonly known as brainwashing.

This is...... A game you can't lose!

Listening to the passionate and indignant speech, Tang Zheng and some new team members seemed to be full of strength, and they couldn't wait for the derby to come soon.

At the same time, Argentina's national television and the television stations of Argentina's three major media groups are building momentum for the upcoming national derby.

Among them, the largest media group, Clarion Group, has invested the most staff, and the well-known TYC Sports TV, Channel 13, and FM100 TV stations are all using resources to create a super frenzied atmosphere of this national derby through all channels.

In the heart of Buenos Aires' most prosperous capital district and Boca district, reporters from major media outlets can be found everywhere, including whites, yellows and blacks.

Many of them are foreign tourists from out of town, who, in addition to visiting the major tourist destinations in Buenos Aires, are also interested in the world's first derby, an extension of the world's number one sport.

Of course, the area with the most reporters is still Boca, after all, the next national derby will be held at the Candy Box Stadium, and the focus will naturally be tilted towards Boca Juniors.

In addition to a large number of local reporters in Argentina, there are also reporters from Brazil, Colombia, Chile, the United States and other places to follow up and report.

While the Argentine derby has not been able to attract the global attention as the Spanish derby, the Manchester derby and the Milan derby, there are a few nearby countries that can attract attention.

Moreover, Argentina, as an important star delivery place in the European League, can also attract the attention of some European media, only the relatively backward Asian region of football and the economically backward African region have little attention.

China is a strange place to pay attention to the Argentine national derby this time, and countless netizens and fans are looking forward to the start of the national derby, but CCTV 5, as the national sports television station, has no live broadcast plan for this game.

It can be said that it is the only country on the planet that has a huge market, but does not know how to cherish and exploit it.

However, with the increasing call for live broadcast of the Argentine national derby in China, some sponsors have seen business opportunities and hope to take the opportunity of this Argentine national derby to advertise.

Originally, the Argentine national derby was played at two o'clock in the morning, and the advertising layout fee at this point was not high, so the merchants saw the opportunity to buy the advertisements at two or three times the price.

This sudden change was not expected by the top management of CCTV, but after a little thought, it can be completely feasible.

CCTV originally had the exclusive broadcast rights of the Argentine national derby in Chinese mainland, and the problems that were worried about merchants before can now be perfectly solved.

Move the advertising at two o'clock in the morning back, anyway, the advertising fee at this point is cheap, even if it is compensated, it is a business that will not lose money.

Coupled with the constant consultation of provincial TV stations about the possibility and cost of buying a single Argentine national derby, CCTV has to consider carefully.

In the end, less than 24 hours before the Argentine national derby, CCTV 5 officially announced that the second round of the Wembley Tennis Open, which was scheduled to be broadcast live at 2 o'clock in the morning the next day, was replaced by the 13th round of the 2008 Argentine First Division Autumn League Boca Juniors vs River Plate.

After this news was transmitted by CCTV, it caused a huge sensation.

After all, the exclusive broadcast rights signed by CCTV 5 and the Argentine Football Association will not be until the end of 2008.

If you want to watch the live broadcast, you can only go over the wall to watch the live broadcast on other countries' websites, but this choice will prevent the older generation of fans from truly experiencing the Argentine national derby with Chinese.

Moreover, the live broadcasts of foreign TV stations are all foreign languages, which do not sound appropriate in Chinese, so after CCTV Channel 5 announced the live broadcast of the Argentine national derby, it was very sensational.

As is customary, the day before the game, head coach Diego Simeone announces the 18-man squad for the next day's game, and then the team heads to their hotel for final preparations.

Without any surprise, Tang Zheng entered the eighteen-man squad for the national derby.

He has been outstanding in recent games and it is normal for him to continue to be in the 18-man squad.

Next, there are the starting eleven.

All the players in the 18-man squad held their breath and focused their attention on Diego Simeone.

Because the next game is not an ordinary game, everyone dare not slack off.

Although Tang Zheng knew that he was unlikely to enter the starting eleven, deep down he still very much hoped to be selected.

A professional player who doesn't want to start is not a qualified professional.

The goalkeeper was not Mario Daniel Vega, who had been starting all the time, but Juan Carrizo, who had been promoted all the way up from the youth team.

The change isn't too much of a problem, and judging by the quality of training over the past three days, Juan Carrizo is in better shape.

With the latter four in place of Nicolas Sanchez, Ferrari, Cabral and Christian Billy still occupy the other three starting spots.

Next came the starting list in the midfield, and Tang Zheng became nervous, but more eager.

"Mauro Rosales, Leonardo Poncio ......" Diego Simeone paused consciously and glanced at the midfielders, all of whom had a desire in their eyes to make their debut in the next national derby.

Tang Zheng slowly held his breath to the rhythm of Diego Simeone, and his heart rose to his throat.

When Diego Simeone's eyes fell on Tang Zheng's body, the latter's expression was a little wooden, but it was difficult to hide a trace of longing in his eyes.

Attaboy!

Sure enough, I didn't see the wrong person!

"--Don!!"

Diego Simeone locked his gaze on Tang Zheng, and then said lightly.

Almost all the team members looked at Tang Zheng with complicated expressions, disgust, jealousy, but more envy.

Indeed, it has been less than a month since Tang Zheng was promoted from the youth team to the first team, and now he has entered the starting list of the Argentine national derby, which is incredible!

And Tang Zheng's expression was a little funny, his mouth was half open, and he didn't close it for a long time, but Falcao reacted quickly and pushed Tang Zheng's lower back muscles with his elbow, and the latter realized his gaffe.

Diego Simeone continued to report the remaining three starting spots: "Diego Bonannot, Romedal Falcao, Sebastien Abreu. ”

After all the starting line-ups were out, assistant coach Jorge Gortillo announced the end of training, and then the team assembled an hour later and headed to their hotel.

"Congratulations, congratulations. ”

Falcao, Sanchez, and Bonanot, who have a good relationship with Tang Zheng, congratulated one after another.

After complimenting each other, Tang Zheng prepared to go to the locker room with the team.

But he was stopped by assistant coach Jorge Gortillo and stayed.
