Midfielder Ruler

If the game ends with the current score, it will be difficult for Fluminense coach Messili Ramalho to accept.

The gap between the two goal difference is difficult to recover even if they return to the Maracana Stadium at home in the second round, so at least one goal must be recovered in the remaining ten minutes of the game.

After making up his mind, Fluminense, who was a guest, made two consecutive substitution adjustments in the 78th minute, removing a central midfielder and a wide midfielder respectively, and adding two forwards, and the formation became extreme. An aggressive four-three-three formation.

The captain of the river plate, Ahumada, has a certain defensive ability, so when the team is leading by two goals, he received the latest instruction from the head coach Simeone, and the position of the retreat is a little deeper, and he will partner with Tang Zheng as a double queen. waist.

At the same time, the positions of Bonannot and Sanchez also retreated a little, and the formation changed from four-three-three to four-two-three-one, which is currently the most commonly used in world football.

There are still about ten minutes left in the regular game time. It is a very reasonable choice for Simeone to ask the team to shrink the defense. After all, they are leading by two goals and have not conceded the ball. If they take it back to play defense, there may be surprises...

The adjustments of the two sides are very targeted. The home team wants to maintain the score until the end of the game, while the visiting team wants to score at least one goal in the remaining game time and get an away goal.

The River Plate players playing at home played very well under the huge cheers of 50,000 fans in the stands.

Although the double defensive midfielder composed of Tang Zheng and Ahumada can't reach the point of being watertight, it can at least guarantee the safety of the area in front of the central defender.

In River Plate's defense, Tang Zheng was the home team player most mentioned by the commentators. His defensive position selection was very reasonable, and he could appear in the most dangerous place of his side almost every time, saving himself from danger.

In just five minutes, Tang Zheng completed three sliding tackles, two header clearances in the penalty area, and two long-range shots to block Kongka from the front.

Seeing that the regular time was about to run out, the visiting team Fluminense started to play anxiously.

No matter who it is, as long as it is within the thirty-meter range, try to shoot long.

Anyway, the offense can't extend to the restricted area of ​​the riverbed, maybe with good luck, one can be caught.

Even though Messili Ramalho prefers to see the team organize the offense in a regular manner, as the game time decreases, he has no opinion on the player's choice of long-range shots. After all, long-range shots are also a good way to break dense defenses.

Maybe you can be lucky enough?

At the end of 90 minutes of regular time, the fourth official held up the electronic card for three minutes of stoppage time.

At this time, Diego Simeone was about to play a third card to delay the game a little.

However, the Fluminense players of the visiting team were still organizing an attack at the front of the penalty area of ​​the river plate, and Aveleras was still standing next to the fourth official waiting for the dead ball.

At the same time, some fans in the stands have already started to leave the field. They think that the suspense of the game is gone, and judging from Fluminense's offensive, it is difficult to win a goal at the last moment, so they choose to leave the field early, otherwise they will wait until the game Exiting after it's over is definitely bad enough.

But they forget that the biggest characteristic of football game is full of uncertainty.

Kongka received a pass from his teammates while attacking the 30-meter zone, but he didn't choose to shoot outside again, but skillfully pulled the ball left and right to face Tang Zheng.

In the past 90 minutes of regular games, Tang Zheng put too much pressure on him, so he didn't dare to be careless.

Conca has a wide field of vision. He sees the forward Alan who is pulling out to ask for the ball. At this time, the midfielder Mauricio also moves forward to participate in the attack.

His brain is running at high speed, maybe... this is an opportunity!

Alan's physical condition is not outstanding, but his speed is very fast, neither Cabral nor Nicolas Sanchez can keep up.

Tang Zheng didn't understand what was going on behind him at all, his attention was on Kongka and Mauricio who got behind him.

Kongka suddenly passed the ball to the right rear of Tang Zheng's defense, Ahumada instinctively turned around and rushed towards Alan, ready to make dumplings with Cabral back and forth.

But Alan didn't take the ball, and directly returned the ball to Kongka.

Tang Zheng smelled a hint of danger, so he pushed forward.

Kongka didn't give Tang Zheng too much space, he sent the ball over the moment Mauricio plugged in.

Ahumada was not in the defensive position because he was defending Alan, so Tang Zheng had to turn around and rush towards Mauricio who was catching the ball.

After Mauricio took the ball in front of Kongka's left, he suddenly kicked the ball to the right with the arch of his left foot. Tang Zheng came to a sudden stop on the spot and pulled his body back.

However, Mauricio didn't give Tang Zheng a chance, the instep of his right foot moved the ball horizontally to the right and accelerated again.

Tang Zheng twisted and followed, but at this moment, Mauricio smacked back hard with the heel of his right foot very covertly, and the football rolled towards Kongka.

Ahumada turned around and stepped forward to defend, but Konka was already prepared. He comfortably led the ball to the left with the outside of his left foot, swung the angle, and directly swung his left foot to hit the goal.

Conca chose to touch the ball not on the instep of his left foot, but on the inside of his foot. He consciously took a close corner, and Ahumada stretched his left leg sideways to block it, but did not touch the ball.

Goalkeeper Juan Carrizo had his vision blocked by Ahumada and then Nicolas Sanchez, and by the time he saw the ball it was too late to react.

Moreover, Conca shot a cold arrow at the front of the penalty area at a tricky angle, and the football flew into the goal against the inner edge of the left goal post in Juan Carrizo's desperate eyes...

※※※

The home team fans behind the River Plate goal had a wider field of view than goalkeeper Juan Carrizo, watching Conca swing his left foot to shoot from the top of the penalty area.

Immediately, their hearts reached their throats and they held their breath.

Conca's sudden cold arrow is not only sudden, but also has a strong inner instep arc. Even though Juan Carrizo's reaction speed is very fast and his body is extremely stretched in mid-air, it does not matter whether he can Saving the football doesn't help because his outstretched right arm is still some distance away from the ball...

In the end, the football flew into the goal against the inner edge of the left post.

The atmosphere at the Monument Stadium was declining at a speed visible to the naked eye. The fans who were queuing up to play were stunned and looked back at the stadium.

The players of the visiting team Fluminense hugged each other excitedly. Is this... an away goal?

Yes!

River Plate coach Diego Simeone screamed in anger, but he had nothing to do about the loss. Ahumada did everything he could. Who made Conca's long-range shots so high-quality?

For the fairy ball on the football field, there is no way.

Conceding a goal at home, going to the away game in the second round will be very difficult, and more importantly, Tang Zheng will be automatically suspended for one game after accumulating three yellow cards.

No matter how the team is deployed in the away game, he feels that it is difficult to seal the opponent in the away game.

If Tang Zheng could play, that would be another matter.

But the key is Tang Zheng's suspension!

damn it!

The head coach of Fluminense, Mesili Ramalho, was very excited. It is great to score an away goal in the away game!

He believes that this goal will pave the way for the team to advance to the semi-finals!

However, he didn't get carried away with it. While the players were celebrating, he called central defender Thiago Silva over to teach him the opportunity.

Getting a goal back before the end of the game is a great incentive for the Fluminense players. Even if the restarted game River Plate has the advantage of kick-off, the visiting team fully implements the latest coach Messili Ramalho. Tactical thinking, keep the 2:1 score until the end of the game.

Although the away game was lost, the players of Fluminense are still in a good mood. They scored a valuable away goal, as long as they return to the Maracana Stadium and win 1:0 in the middle of next week. Advance to the semi-finals!

It doesn't matter if it's any team, conceding a goal at the end of the game will feel uncomfortable.

The current river plate players are like this. They are very unwilling to lose a good game.

Two goal differences are much more stable than one goal difference, and if they had to make a choice on one goal difference, they would prefer the score to be 1:0

Head coach Diego Simeone's mood was even more depressed, not only did the opponent score a priceless away goal, but Tang Zheng would also be automatically suspended for one game because of accumulating three yellow cards.

He only won one ball, and the price he paid was really heavy!

At this moment, Fluminense coach Mesili Ramalho came over, took the initiative to hold Diego Simeone's right hand, and patted his shoulder with his left arm: Diego, your performance is really good, really good! of!

Out of politeness, Diego Simeone could only bite the bullet and show a smiling face: Where are you, you performed even better!

OK, see you in a week then!

no problem!

...

In the end, the river plate won the game, but it did not achieve the desired complete victory.

However, as long as they don't lose to Fluminense in the game a week later, wouldn't they be able to advance?

You have to think on the bright side in everything. Who can guarantee that Fluminense, who is at home in the second round, will win?

Simeone calmed down and enjoyed the victory with the team.
