Midfielder Ruler

Remember【】in a second, providing you with wonderful novels to read.

With the advent of the new season, the injuries of last season have basically recovered in sevens and eighties, but this also caused Simeone to have a happy trouble, because there are too many reserve players in the midfielder position...

Too many reserves also directly lead to fierce competition for positions. If Simeone followed the staffing of last season's autumn league, Tang Zheng and Poncio should be the starting midfielder partners, but Augusto Fernandez and Rubin who returned from serious injuries The strength of Si Senbersa should not be underestimated. They have comprehensive skills and can play multiple positions.

Especially Rubins Sembersa, who contributed a lot to the team at the beginning of the autumn league last season.

Coupled with the already competitive Abeleras and team deputy Ahumada, the competition for the midfielder position will be unprecedented. ,

However, Simeone is thinking, whether it is possible to squeeze the relatively bloated midfielder, those who are willing to stay can wait for the opportunity, and those who are not willing to stay can find another home.

In a blink of an eye, River Plate's first warm-up match at the end of July is coming. Their opponent is the A-League powerhouse Sarsfield who trained the head coach Simeone.

The first game before the season was also played at Sarsfield's home stadium, Jose Amalfitani Stadium. As one of the most outstanding stars in Sarsfield's football history, Simeone was welcomed by a large number of home fans. .

However, he was only one of the protagonists in this warm-up match, and the real protagonists were the twenty-two fighters on the field.

Tang Zheng started in River Plate's first warm-up match of the new season, and his partner was Leonardo Poncio, which is River Plate's most commonly used midfield configuration recently.

The organizational midfielder is the deputy Ahumada, the two wings are Sanchez and Augusto Fernandez, and the striker is still Colombian striker Falcao.

What is commendable is that Tang Zheng's good friend Musacchio conquered the head coach Simeone through his outstanding performance in the pre-season preparations. He played for the first team again after a lapse of one year, and he still started the game.

Many River Plate youth teammates sitting in front of the TV felt extremely envious. Tang Zheng and Musacchio, who had been training together earlier this year, were now playing for the first team respectively. How could they play as they differed from each other?

Of course, this has something to do with Sarsfield's weak strength. In addition, everyone did not send the team's strongest lineup to verify the players' competitive status.

There is no restriction on substitutions in a warm-up match like this.

You can even swap out all of them if you like.

The players worked hard on the court, while coach Simeone and Jorge Gortillo stood on the sidelines to evaluate the players' competitive state.

Simeone was very satisfied with Tang Zheng's performance. His performance on the field was as stable as ever, and the calmness he displayed didn't look like he was eighteen years old at all, but more like a veteran in his thirties.

So calm!

With the development of world football, the midfielder who can connect the past and the future is becoming more and more important. The simple engineer-type midfielder will gradually withdraw from the stage of history, and the more versatile midfielder will enter the main stage.

In Simeone's eyes, Tang Zheng is that kind of all-around midfielder.

The defense is impeccable, and the offensive methods are changeable.

After more than a month of intensive practice, Tang Zheng's current foot skills have improved rapidly. Although he can't compare with players like Sanchez and Ortega, he is at least better than the average Argentine player.

What an enviable ability to learn!

And the rapid progress is extremely beneficial to Tang Zheng's future development in the riverbed...

Diego, I don't think it's necessary for Tang to observe anymore. At least one and a half main players can be confirmed.

As the first half was coming to an end, assistant coach Jorge Gortillo turned around and said to Simeone.

Huh? Simeone became interested and asked meaningfully, How do you say that?

So stable! Jorge Gortillo said briefly.

The simple four words directly hit the point.

Indeed, Tang Zheng has the most important point of a professional player - stability!

In the second half, Tang Zheng, Falcao and Sanchez were substituted together.

Tang Zheng, who didn't know much about coaching ideas, thought it was the head coach Simeone who was dissatisfied with his performance on the court.

Falcao was still well-informed, he sat on the bench and patted Tang Zheng's left thigh and said, Don't worry, this shows that your performance has conquered the boss.

Really? Tang Zheng was a little suspicious.

Of course, otherwise why would I come down?

Because your performance is too bad...

Where is it rotten?

I gave you two good kicks and you didn't head the ball in, so it's not bad?

I will go, if I can seize all the opportunities, then I will enter Real Madrid!

That's true.

River Plate's first warm-up match of the new season finally defeated Sarsfield with a score of 3:1, but the next second warm-up match was a bit bumpy.

After all, the strength of the University of La Plata is much stronger than that of Sarsfield, and the two sides shook hands 2:2. It is worth mentioning that Tang Zheng made a pass in the game and directly assisted Augusto · Fernandez scored.

In the last warm-up match of the new season, River Plate will host Sao Paulo from Brazil at home. For this... River Plate fans will wait and see.

At the same time, as the Olympic football match is about to kick off, the Chinese Football Association, which did not call Tang Zheng into the Olympic team, is under a certain amount of pressure.

Because the current choice of the Chinese Olympic team's midfielder position is worrying, and the defensive hardness of technical teams such as Brazil and Belgium cannot keep up.

But this has nothing to do with Tang Zheng. Although he really wants to join the Chinese Olympic team to participate in the local Olympic Games, but most of the time he can't do whatever he wants. Tang Zheng, who was forced to switch from home to abroad, knows better than anyone else. The inside story that others don't know.

Even so, Tang Zheng also often browses the web to pay attention to the preparations of the Chinese Olympic team.

Before the start of the Olympic football match, River Plate ushered in the last warm-up opponent before the season at home - Sao Paulo.

The current Sao Paulo team should not be underestimated. They have won the Brazilian League Championship for two consecutive seasons.

Only by facing a strong enemy can it be verified whether the player's state has met Simeone's ideal requirements.

The starting list and main substitutes for the new season are basically determined in Simeone's mind, so in the last warm-up match before the new season, he sent the strongest eleven-man roster in his mind.

The goalkeeper is Juan Ojeda, the defenders are Ferrari, Cabral, Tuccio and Billy, and the three midfielders are Tang Zheng, Poncio and Ahumada. It was Sanchez, Falcao and Augusto Fernandez.

Tang Zheng only knew one person in Sao Paulo, and that was their goalkeeper and captain Cheney, a legend in Sao Paulo who devoted all his youthful career to the club.

But this is not the reason Tang Zheng remembers him, the most important thing is his terrifying ability to score goals.

As a goalkeeper, Cheney not only has super goal line skills, but also has excellent foot skills.

So far, Cheney has scored 87 goals, including 48 direct free kicks and 40 penalties.

You know he is a goalkeeper!

Therefore, Cheney's achievements are lifelong and worthy of the respect of any professional football player.

After the start of the game, Sao Paulo, who was a guest, had the intention of turning away from the guest, and once took advantage of the kick-off to press the river plate in his own half.

Tang Zheng's ability to read the game is very strong, and he quickly realized that the reason why Sao Paulo can take the initiative is their midfielder Elnars.

His running position is very erratic, he has a strong ability to read the game, and his feet are quite balanced. As a midfielder, he has a certain ability to pass and threaten the ball, and his body is very strong.

Of course, the most important thing is that Elnars is smart enough to play football.

Perhaps because he learned that Kongka had suffered with Tang Zheng, Hernanes consciously avoided Tang Zheng when organizing the attack.

Now Tang Zheng had no good solution, he could only protect the defensive space in the backcourt, after all the opponent's attack always had to hit the core area.

At the same time, Hernanes was very surprised by Tang Zheng's calmness and judgment. He always thought that as long as he kept interspersing and running to organize the team's frontcourt attack, he would be able to find the river plate's defensive loopholes, but the reality is cruel. Yes, Tang Zheng was able to keep a good distance from his teammates while moving, never losing his defensive position.

After all, there is only such a piece of land at the front of the penalty area, and it is really difficult to squeeze a ball in.

I have tried both bottom and forty-five-degree crosses from the two wingers, but the central defender from River Plate has a strong ability to compete for the top, and there is still no way to open the situation.

On the other hand, Tang Zheng's two consecutive counterattacks with long passes almost caused his own goal to be lost. He is really an opponent not to be underestimated.

But what frightened Hernanes the most was Tang Zheng's attack from the back. His striding ball combined well with the ball, plus he had a wide vision, making it hard to guard against.

Hernanes' worries became reality in the twenty-fourth minute of the game, Tang Zheng seized the opportunity and stepped in to participate in the attack.

When he attracted enough defensive attention, he decisively picked a pass to attack the right rib. Sanchez accelerated the ball and cut into the right side of the penalty area, and then passed it to Falcao, who was outflanking the center. The latter shoveled the ball into the goal.

Before the end of the first half, another long pass from Tang Zheng launched a counterattack. After recovering from injury, Augusto Fernandez had a strong desire to shoot after getting the ball. A successful shot from the penalty area line, the score became 2:0

Taking the lead by two goals, River Plate took the lead in making personnel adjustments in the second half. Many main players such as Tang Zheng, Falcao and Ahumada were replaced one after another.

Hernanes found an opportunity to perform, and he made a pass to help Sao Paulo equalize the score.

In the end, the friendly match between the two giants ended in a draw.
