With Tang Zheng returning to the main lineup, the results of the River Plate youth team became more and more stable, and the rankings were slowly rising.

By the end of March, the River Plate youth team had already returned to third place, but it was only four points away from the La Plata University youth team at the top of the list.

And this distance can be further narrowed, because after the first round, the River Plate Youth Team will be a guest to challenge the La Plata University Youth Team. If they can win the game, the points of both sides will become one point.

A game worth six points.

During this period of time, Tang Zheng would find Matteo Musacchio to practice headers together after training every day, and now his header skills have improved rapidly.

Even Matteo Musacchio, who has the strongest header ability in the youth team, can hardly take advantage of Tang Zheng, who is superior in height. Here, they have already begun to consider formulating tactics around Tang Zheng.

Still the same sentence, if a big man of 1.93 meters is not used there, it is tantamount to a waste of money, and there will be retribution!

Tang Zheng's performance in the youth league has become more and more stable, which has also caused some middle and lower reaches of the A-League to want to rent Tang Zheng, and some clubs even want to buy Tang Zheng outright. Maria Aguilar outright vetoed it.

He knows that young players who can cause fierce quarrels between the first team coach and the youth team coach are definitely not in the pool.

Besides, he has also watched Tang Zheng's games, he is very general, he is very active in defense and running, and he can help the team's offense while completing his job.

Given time, it will become a great weapon.

If you want to buy a semi-finished product from Riverbed, don't even think about it!

Of course, the reason why some clubs offered to rent or buy out Tang Zheng from River Plate was directly related to Fabino Rodrigo. When Tang Zheng couldn't play in the youth team, he was very anxious. Help him connect with other teams.

But what I didn't expect was that the matter was handled so quickly, Tang Zheng also returned to the main lineup, and finding another player naturally became useless.

On March 25th, the River Plate youth team ushered in the 13th round opponent at home. The opponent was relatively weak, the Belgrano youth team from the second division team.

In this game Tang Zheng continued to start as the single midfielder.

After all, the opponent is too weak, and there is no need for double midfielders.

With Tang Zheng's excellent running ability and huge coverage area, a single midfielder is more than enough.

The process of the game also verified this point. As a single defensive midfielder, Tang Zheng can not only do everything well on the defensive end, but also use precise long passes to enrich the team's offensive routines when attacking.

Assistant coach Christian Pizzi, who was sitting in the coach's bench, joked: "I don't think it will take long for Don to be promoted to the first team."

Igabe Fabiani frowned and said, "Don? It's still early."

Christian Pizzi smiled, did not answer, but continued to focus on the court.

The same is true for Igabe Fabianni. Tang Zheng, who was defending, stepped sideways. When the long legs stepped out, his buttocks poked back, and a reasonable body blocked the ball and the ball holder. contact is completely severed.

Tang Zheng didn't stick to the ball, he chose to give the ball to the supporting left back.

The midfielder who lost the ball naturally rushed towards the left back. Tang Zheng looked left and right, and the nearest opponent player was still nearly three meters away, so he took a few steps back and gestured for the left back. Pass the ball over.

The left back didn't hesitate at all. He immediately knocked the ball across to Tang Zheng who was in the open position. The latter saw the timing of Gustavo Fernandez's advance and chose to make a long pass with his right foot without stopping the ball. In mid-air with a strong backspin, he fell towards the vacuum of Belgrano's youth team defense.

At the same time, Gustavo Fernandez, like a tiger on the mountain, suddenly accelerated to stand out from the opponent's entire back line.

He naturally tightened his arms during high-speed running, and pushed the ball forward with his chest, single-handedly!

The defender of the Belgrano youth team who was at the back still stood there and raised his hand to signal that Gustavo Fernandez was offside, but the linesman remained unmoved and continued to run forward.

In other words... not offside!

Going solo wasn't too much of a challenge for River Plate's leading striker, Gustavo Fernandez, who slid the ball past the keeper with a convincing feint and slotted the ball into an empty net.

"If Don can send such an assist in the autumn league, maybe...the first team will really have a place for him." Igabe Fabianni watched and hugged Gustavo Fernandez to celebrate the goal Tang Zheng muttered to himself.

And this goal was also the last goal of the game. In the end, the River Plate Youth Team beat Belgrano Youth Team 6-0 at home.

※※※

Three days later, the River Plate Youth team was a guest of the La Plata University Youth Team. This game was positioned as the focus of this round of the Youth League, a direct confrontation between the No. 1 and No. 3 ranks.

If the La Plata University youth team can win the River Plate youth team at home, then they can further consolidate the top position, otherwise the River Plate youth team will narrow the points between each other.

So for both sides, this is a game that cannot be lost, and the tie allows the second-ranked Boca Juniors to reap the benefits.

From the first second of the game, the La Plata University youth team, which is at home, launched an attack on the belly of the River Plate youth team. Among them, the left side was the most aggressive. The defense on the right is miserable.

Tang Zheng has a strong ability to read the game, and before the game, the head coach Igabe Fabianni once emphasized the left attack of the La Plata University youth team, so he often came to defend the right to help.

Fortunately, the La Plata University youth team's offense in the center is quite weak, otherwise, even if Tang Zheng's running covers a large area, he would not be able to take care of both the center and the side.

The youth training concept of the River Plate team is to defend in an organized manner, and then use the quick exchange of positions between each other to create counterattack opportunities for the teammates in the midfield. Tang Zheng's existence seems to be for the River Plate youth team to carry forward the youth training concept.

Thirty-four minutes into the first half, Tang Zheng successfully intercepted the ball at Rojo's feet with the assistance of Shorili on the right.

Then he made a slight adjustment and sent the ball to his own attacking route. When Rojo did not return to the defense, there was a large vacuum waiting for Gustavo Fernandez to conquer.

The River Plate Youth Team launched a quick counterattack. After two or three passes, Morrow finally sent the ball into the goal of the La Plata University Youth Team. The guest River Plate Youth Team led the home team by one goal.

Since 60% of the La Plata University Youth Team's offense relies on Rojo on the left, Tang Zheng staring at this point is equivalent to cutting off an arm of the La Plata University Youth Team.

However, Tang Zheng was too worried about the attacking left side of the University of La Plata in the subsequent games, so he could only focus more on defense, so he didn't have much energy to invest in offense, and could only score the ball occasionally, or Bigfoot shifted the direction of attack, and the game entered a stalemate.

The score of 1:0 was maintained until the end of the game. The River Plate youth team won the leader La Plata University Youth Team in the away game and ranked second with a difference of one point.

The Boca Juniors youth team was careless in the away game and was tied by the Cordoba youth team in the away game. It was two points less than the River Plate youth team and relegated to the third place in the youth league.

It is worth mentioning that although Tang Zheng did not score a goal or directly assist in this focus battle, he was still named the best player of the game. His steals, running distance, clearances, number of passes, etc. The data are the most on both sides of the game.

So the best in the game is well-deserved.

What makes Tang Zheng feel regretful is that the head coach Igabe Fabianni still does not allow these young players to be interviewed by the media, making him lose another chance...
