With the first leg of the 1/8 finals of the Copa Libertadores and the 'pilgrimage day' approaching, Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, has become lively.

As the saying goes, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers.

But the capital, Buenos Aires, has nine first-division teams, and that's not counting the suburban Atletico Lanús, Independiente and Atlético teams.

What's even more incredible is that there are 78 clubs in the city of Buenos Aires, and none of them share a stadium with the others.

The day before River Plate's first-leg Copa Libertadores quarterfinals against Pedro Bidegaine, Jorge Galtillo announced his squad for the next day's match, as is customary.

In fact, with the advent of the team's large-scale injuries, the game lineup is a little stretched, basically led by old drivers, the starting lineup has not changed much, and the same is true for the substitute list, so it is not surprising that Tang Zheng entered the eighteen-man game squad.

However, the next starting line-up was a surprise, as the team's striker Falcao was also put on the bench.

However, this change can be said to be unexpected, and at the same time expected.

Falcao, as the team's best striker at the moment, naturally shoulders the responsibility of the team's destruction, but it is reasonable to think that he will be a guest at the Candy Box Stadium at the weekend, so that the shooter Falcao can get enough rest.

Although San Lorenzo is one of the top five in the La Liga, there is still a certain gap between the strength and the absolute giants River Plate, so Diego Simeone must stay in the face of the weekend national derby.

Between the two, no one knows better than Diego Simeone.

The 1/8 finals of the Copa Libertadores are two-legged matches, and if you take 10,000 steps back, even if you lose to San Lorenzo away, isn't there still a second leg that can be saved?

But if you lose away to Boca Juniors, it's a shame for half a year!

It doesn't matter if they lose to River Plate or Boca Juniors, they can't lose to any team, even if they lose to an amateur team.

Therefore, Boca Juniors also has reservations when they face Brazilian Cruzeiro at home in the first round of the Copa Libertadores 1/8 finals.

Of course, the degree of preservation is not comparable to that of the riverbed.

It is mainly easier to play away and then home and away, and the match between the Argentine team and the Brazilian team is a little more difficult to play than the Argentine civil war.

However, Boca Juniors have another advantage, they have played both games at home, and they have a certain advantage.

※※※

River Plate away to San Lorenzo, Tang Zheng and Falcao sat on the bench together, and they were very good.

Diego Simeone's tactical preference for the guest is to defend first and then counterattack, which is also in line with River Plate's traditional philosophy.

San Lorenzo, who played at home, was packed at the Pedro Bidegain stadium, and the knockout match for the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals was more frenetic than the atmosphere of the league game.

The first Argentine team to play in the Copa Libertadores was San Lorenzo, but this team has not been particularly lucky, with the best result in the past being three semi-finals.

As a die-hard San Lorenzo fan, it's natural to want to watch the team win the game at home and lay the groundwork for the two-legged knockout round.

The cheers of the fans in the stands can be described as a tsunami, and the wild boos for the riverbed are overwhelming, and the cheering sound is extremely harsh, even Tang Zheng, who was sitting on the bench, felt unhappy.

Falcao looked at Tang Zheng's discomfort, pushed Tang Zheng with his knees, covered his mouth and said: "Tang, you have to get used to it slowly, this is the 1/8 finals, if it is the 1/4 finals and semi-finals, then it will be called shaking the earth." ”

At this point, Falcow paused and said, "Hey...... But you can get a feel for what a real hell away is this weekend!"

"Weekend?" Tang Zheng frowned, scratched the back of his head, and shouted violently, "That's right...... Didn't you want to be a guest at Boca Juniors on the weekend? Oh my God......"

Seeing Tang Zheng's rich expression and trembling body, Falcao thought that Tang Zheng was scared, so he patted his shoulder: "Don't be nervous, there is a brother." ”

"No, I'm not nervous. Tang Zheng shook his head, his eyes flashing with a hint of essence.

"That?"

"Yes...... Excited!"

Falcao didn't notice that Tang Zheng's left fist was clenched tightly because ...... He had waited too long for this day.

Banega, Boca Juniors!

Wait!

※※※

"Whoa!!"

Just as Tang Zheng focused on the national derby away to Boca Juniors at the weekend, Pedro Bidegain erupted in a loud cheer at the Stadium.

Tang Zheng and Falcao were startled at the same time, and suddenly stood up from the bench and looked at their own penalty area.

Bernardo Romeo, San Lorenzo's number one striker, wearing a red and blue striped shirt, opened his arms excitedly as he ran, ran to the edge of the stands with his huge poster, and raised his arms and shouted.

Tang Zheng's brows furrowed, and the team lost the ball......

Less than twenty minutes into the first half, River Plate trailed San Lorenzo away from home.

Listening to the cheers of the 40,000 San Lorenzo fans from the stands, the away fans who came with the team were very unhappy, and they booed hysterically and elongated, but compared to the more than 40,000 home fans, their efforts were completely negligible.

The atmosphere at Pedro Byggain's stadium continued to be high, with the extreme home fans even setting off fireworks, sending bright red flames and smoke into the sky.

Tang Zheng, who was sitting on the bench, could feel a mountain of momentum pouring down from the top of the stands, making him very uncomfortable.

"Is this the atmosphere of the Copa Libertadores?" Tang Zheng muttered as he leaned on the backrest of the bench, looking at the trembling stands.

At the same time, River Plate manager Diego Simeone stood on the edge of the coach's command area and was extremely unhappy with the goal conceded, and the corner kick defense could have avoided conceding the goal, but it was unacceptable to miss the key moment, especially ignoring the home team's top striker San Lorenzo.

However, conceding the ball has become a fact, and Diego Simeone shouted a loud reminder to the players on the pitch to pay attention to defense, followed by attacking opportunities.

Now the team's attack is dominated by Domingo alone, and with the lack of Falcao in front, it is difficult to open up the situation with Sanchez and Sebastien Abreu looking for opportunities in front.

However, Diego Simeone will not admit that he has made a tactical mistake and with an even more important national derby at the weekend, he has to be more cautious in his use of personnel.

Throughout the first half, Diego Simeone was pacing back and forth in the coach's command area, looking quite nervous.

Fortunately, at the end of the first half, the score remained 1:0

The home team takes the lead.

"Eh, Romedal, you say...... Do I have a chance to come on as a substitute?" As the players from both sides entered the locker room, the substitutes in front of the benches on both sides naturally came to the court to warm up again, Tang Zheng and Falcao jogged side by side, and asked a little worriedly.

Falcao shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "I don't know if you will play, anyway, I will definitely play." ”

Tang Zheng rolled his eyes speechlessly, but then again, his observation is very strong, the reason why River Plate's offense has not improved is not only because of the lack of strong strikers, but also because the organization is weak, it is difficult for Domingo to revitalize the whole team alone, and he lacks a teammate who shares the pressure of the organization.

Neither Poncio nor Aveleras have this talent, and there is no problem with them defending and distributing the ball, but further transfer and organization are a bit reluctant, so Tang Zheng concluded that he still has a great chance to play in the second half.

So Tang Zheng jokingly said: "Hmph, don't look down on people, maybe...... Master Ben appeared before you. ”

"No way. Falcao shook his right index finger confidently.

"Shall we make a bet, then?"

Hearing the word 'bet', Falcao became excited, stopped, and said with a smile: "What are you betting?"

"Hmph, just bet that Young Master Ben will appear before you. ”

"What if you lose?"

"I'll give you 500g of seeds, you know. ”

Falcao looked at Tang Zheng's lewd eyes, and agreed without hesitation: "Since you are so refreshing, then I can't hide it, if you win...... I'll give you my Apple notebook directly!"

"Okay, then I'll advise you to go straight to Cyber City after the game. Tang Zheng patted Falcao on the shoulder, and then gave a meaningful look, as if to say: Young man, you are doomed.

"Who loses is not certain!" After Falcao finished speaking, he found that he was missing a momentum, and quickly changed his voice: "I really need to buy a new notebook, otherwise how can I download it?"

※※※

The fifteen-minute half-time break went on in a flash, and both sides stood still, maintaining the starting eleven of the first half.

Compared to the first half, the visiting River Plate attack became more direct, with two wings having chances to cross at 45 degrees, but the effect was not significant, and it almost allowed the opposition to play a counter-attack.

Diego Simeone naturally saw where the team's attack was wrong, and now the team only Tang Zheng has the ability to divert the attack, but he can't put the burden of the team's win on Tang Zheng too early, which is very cruel for a young player.

However, with the team's lack of defensive and offensive organization in the middle, Jorge Gortillo walked up to Diego Simeone and tried to suggest: "Diego, I think Don should be sent on the field at this time, his defensive coverage is very strong, and he has a precise long pass, his play will not only change the success rate of the defense, but also enrich the team's offensive play......"

Diego Simeone frowned, obviously engaged in a fierce ideological battle, on the one hand he did not want to lose, and on the other hand, he did not want to put Tang Zheng under pressure too soon.

It's hard to choose!

However, at this moment, Aveleras was accidentally passed in the middle of the defence, and he had to reach out to pull down the 'big head' Dalejandro who formed a breakthrough, and the referee blew the whistle decisively and gave him a yellow card.

Other words...... Now Poncio and Aveleras in the middle have a yellow card, and just over 50 minutes have passed in the game, with almost 40 minutes to go......

Substitutions have become urgent!

But Diego Simeone doesn't seem to be mentally ready to change people, and Jorge Gortillo is a little excited: "Diego, you can't raise 10,000-year-old pines in a greenhouse!"

Diego Simeone agreed with this, so he turned to Tang Zheng, who was chatting with Falcao, and shouted, "Don, go warm up!"
