Chapter 141 Getting Better

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

No one would have thought that the player who performed the best in the second half of the game turned out to be a young man under the age of 18 from the visiting team Banfield. His appearance not only revitalized Banfield's offense, but also created two times enough Chances to score goals...

Beautiful! Another long shot from James Rodriguez! What a pity, it flew out of the baseline against the crossbar.

Oh-My-God! Four people in a row!! Hey... Facundo Ferreira's forward awareness is slow, otherwise it will be another great opportunity to score.

...

From the 65th minute to the 70th minute, no matter whether it was the commentator in the live commentary or the commentator in the remote live broadcast room, the name they mentioned the most was James Rodriguez.

As the core midfielder of River Plate's new generation, Tang Zheng naturally would not let James Rodriguez's unscrupulous performance in his home court, so he decided to give the opponent a blow.

In the seventy-fourth minute, Tang Zheng made a diagonal long pass to find Rosales on the right, but he couldn't control his power well, and Banfield's left back Brockey headed him out, and the ball was quickly passed to the sideline on the left. At the foot of James Rodriguez.

The excellent vision made him realize immediately that an opposing player was approaching him at high speed, so he stepped on the football with his left foot and pulled it back, while turning his body from facing the defensive player to turning his back.

However, James Rodriguez's reaction was still half a beat slow, Tang Zheng's sliding tackle kicked the football he had just pulled back out of the baseline.

And James Rodriguez was also brought to the ground by Tang Zheng due to inertia.

Due to the instantaneous reaction of the South American players, James Rodriguez fell to the grass and clutched his left leg in pain, and fell to the ground and rolled several times.

Banfield players swarmed towards Tang Zheng, the referee blew his whistle quickly and blocked himself in front of Tang Zheng, driving away irrelevant personnel.

Tang Zheng shrugged his shoulders in front of the Banfield player who questioned him, then bent down and patted James Rodriguez on the shoulder twice: Stop pretending, James.

James Rodriguez opened his eyes and found that it was Tang Zheng, so he didn't continue to pretend, but stood up following Tang Zheng's outstretched right hand: The kick is still so fast and ruthless.

Your strength and acting skills are improving, James. Tang Zheng rubbed James Rodriguez's hair angrily.

Yo. TYC Sports TV commentator Xiaolili Telmer seemed to have discovered the new world, and said in surprise: The relationship between Tang and James Rodriguez seems to be pretty good, but I rarely see it. He took the initiative to pull up the opponent's downed player.

You don't know that, Don and James Rodriguez participated in the Boca trial together two years ago. Abel Claudio took full advantage of his Argentine football encyclopedia .

I see……

James Rodriguez, who performed well, received extra attention from Tang Zheng, and he seemed to disappear during the next game time.

But because Tang Zheng put too much energy on defense, River Plate's team's offensive quality declined.

However, it is acceptable for Simeone to win Banfield with two goals at home. After all, there will be a Copa Libertadores match in the middle of next week. There is no need to lose character in this almost locked-in game.

As the clock ticks, James Rodriguez looks up at the scoreboard: 84'50

His frown became deeper and deeper, because he always wanted to defeat Tang Zheng in the past.

But the reality was cruel, his efforts seemed useless in front of Tang Zheng.

Do not!

He didn't want to just admit defeat!

Didn't Tang Zheng, who was on the same starting line back then, have played professional football a year earlier?

James Rodriguez believes that with his talent and potential, he will definitely be able to surpass Tang Zheng!

Seeing that the regular time was about to run out, the fourth official was using the wireless mic to communicate with the referee, watching for a few minutes in stoppage time.

At this time, some fans at the Monument Stadium chose to leave their seats and leave the field early. They believed that it was unlikely to score a goal before the end of the game.

Not long after, the fourth official stood on the sidelines holding up the electronic card showing three minutes of stoppage time.

Just in time, Falcao received a 45-degree cross from Tang Zheng from the right and headed for the goal, but he missed the goal due to the interference of the opponent's central defender Balasa.

Banfield goalkeeper Bologna took a goal kick, and the football soon reached the feet of James Rodriguez, who was attacking the right wing in the frontcourt. Tang Zheng followed him and rushed to form a partial defense with full-back Ferrari.

James Rodriguez didn't have much confidence in getting past Tang Zheng and Ferrari, so he directed the right back Lopez to advance.

This is a very common way for full-backs to participate in the attack. Ferrari's defensive attention is very focused. He reacted defensively at the moment of James Rodriguez's pass and fell to the ground to destroy the ball out of the sideline.

In order to distance himself from Tang Zheng, James Rodriguez switched positions with striker Ferreira, letting him come out to catch Lopez's sideline kick.

Tang Zheng did not let down his vigilance against James Rodriguez, he stood at the top left of the arc in the penalty area, preventing the opponent's players from advancing behind while taking care of James Rodriguez.

Lopez threw the ball from the sideline, and forward Ferreira squeezed his body first, then turned around and faced the goal head-on.

Ferrari was concerned that Lopez's advance could not keep up in time, and the full-back Bonannot was half a beat behind, and Ferreira slammed the ball forward to avoid it.

When Ferreira received the ball again, he had already reached the right corner of the penalty area. Tang Zheng had no choice but to direct Poncio to stand in front of the top of the penalty area, while he followed Musacchio to press Ferreira.

But Ferreira's handling of the ball was very decisive, and the ball was picked to the control of James Rodriguez on the right side of the penalty area.

Musacchio's subconscious jump did not hit the football, and the football missed it.

Tang Zheng came to the line of the big penalty area, another central defender Cabral gave way to the outside line, together with Tang Zheng to prevent James Rodriguez from cutting inside and hitting the goal.

At the same time, James Rodriguez suddenly had the inspiration to shoot when he saw the falling football. He glanced at the goalkeeper's position from the corner of his eye, and then adjusted his pace...

Be careful, he's going to shoot!! Tang Zheng's reminder seemed a bit late.

James Rodriguez, who was standing outside the right sideline of the penalty area, took a step forward, swung his left foot, and his outer instep hit the middle of the football firmly.

The football is urgent and fast, and it flies to the far corner of the goal with a strong outer arc.

Goalkeeper Daniel Vega was a little slow to react, and the football flew into the far corner of the goal against his fingertips...

Tang Zheng, who was standing on the line of the penalty area, looked at the football lying in the net, and then glanced at James Rodriguez, with a helpless expression on his face.

World wave!

※※※

For this conceded goal, the entire River Plate team was very helpless, as was the head coach Simeone.

The wave of the world is overwhelming!

James Rodriguez, who scored the goal, looked very excited. He didn't expect his first career goal to come so suddenly and so wonderfully!

The commentator Mike Gervin from the ESPN Football Channel said excitedly: Incredible goal! This young man from Colombia scored a goal in the third game of his personal career. He set a new record. Became the youngest foreign player to score in the top league in Argentina...

James Rodriguez, who was walking back towards his own half, consciously waved his fist in Tang Zheng's direction. The meaning he wanted to express was very obvious - I scored a goal in your territory!

Tang Zheng shrugged his shoulders helplessly, turned his head away, it was clear what was out of sight.

Although Banfield relied on James Rodriguez's world wave to pull back a city in stoppage time, it did not affect the final result of the game.

River Plate defeated Banfield 2:1 at home and won two consecutive league victories.

After the game, most of the media reporters' attention was attracted by James Rodriguez. His goal at the age of 17 and 7 months created the record of the youngest foreign player in Argentina's top league.

The young James Rodriguez was very restrained in the mixed zone. After all, this was the first goal of his career, and the team was against River Plate.

In addition, although Tang Zheng performed well in this match, he was still criticized by the media.

Ole Newspaper and other newspapers believed that Tang Zheng's defense at the last moment let down his vigilance, and it was only then that James Rodriguez's world wave scored.

But Tang Zheng didn't pay attention to these media who like to tell stories. Anyway, he also knows the face of the media, and he can only wait until the end of the season to forcefully slap them.

※※※

Because Tang Zheng received a red card in the away game in the first round, he could only sit in the stands in the second round match against Souk University in Bolivia at home.

In this game without Tang Zheng, Simeone's tactics were simply more direct.

Because the overall strength of Sooke University is far behind that of River Plate, they finally defeated the visiting Sooke University with two goals at home relying on the goals of Falcao and Poncio.

The second round of Group E of the Copa Libertadores is over, and the time has come to the end of February.

The upcoming March schedule is not bad for River Plate, they have four league games and two back-to-back Copa Libertadores group games.

In the six games of River Plate in March, with Tang Zheng entering the role, they achieved an unbeaten record of four wins and two draws, including three wins and one tie in the league, leading the ranking with 17 points in seven games, five wins and two draws. The famous Sarsfield reached the top of the league table with one point.

Sporting Quito faced Ecuador back to back with one win and one draw. They ranked second in the group with two wins, one draw and one loss in four games.

It is worth mentioning that Simeone's latest tactics have been very successful in the team's experiments. Tang Zheng, who is the core of the tactics, is even more comfortable. He scored three goals and four assists in March, and his performance was extremely eye-catching.

In addition, Tang Zheng performed well, and the voices against him were much less.

But there are also some reporters who don’t see the coffin and don’t shed tears. They think that River Plate’s game in March is a bit tricky except for the home game against Sarsfield. .

Next, the newly promoted Turkmenistan San Martin will enter the league rest period after River Plate's home game, which means that the new international match day will be announced.
