Boca won the final match of the Copa Libertadores group 5-3, returning to first place in the group and establishing a knockout advantage.

But for them, the price paid is not small.

Riquelme left the field injured and was examined after the game and will be out for about 3 weeks.

This is under the premise of good recovery.

Palermo and Long Yu also experienced slight discomfort after the game.

Three days later, in Boca's home game against Sarsfeld, none of the team's three absolute main players could appear.

The three absolute main players are also the three captains of the team.

Everyone was absent, and the captain's armband was naturally worn on Chang Ming's arm.

Naturally, yes, it is so natural.

Now Chang Ming has become the new backbone of his teammates.

On the offensive end, Chang Ming's passing is always so considerate.

On the defensive end, Chang Ming's active defense also benefited the defenders a lot.

So in the absence of the three captains, Basile directly handed the captain's armband to Chang Ming, and everyone felt it was very normal.

Three days later, Boca faced Sarsfeld, and Boca's lineup was greatly adjusted.

On the forward line, Pica and Mush partnered.

Chang Ming is in the middle, Collazo and Chavez are on the left and right, and Elvez is behind.

There are also many young defenders on the defensive line.

In this lineup, only Chang Ming is the main player, and the others are substitutes or rotations.

Even Songsu and Naiker got a chance to rest in this game because of the serious physical exertion from fighting in the previous game.

The opponent in this game, Sarsfeld, is officially one of the powerful opponents that has often competed with Boca for the league championship in the past two seasons.

Boca won't be able to play well in this game.

Basile expected it, and so did the Boca players.

Sarsfeld deployed a 4-3-3 formation today.

Since there is no South American competition, they are waiting for work today and will go all out to attack Boca.

Boca's defense today is very young and under great pressure.

So although Boca arranged a 4-4-2 formation, in actual practice, it has become a 4-2-3-1.

Chang Ming retreated decisively and formed a double defensive midfielder with Elwes.

Mush, who has comprehensive skills, also retreated to the attacking midfielder position to ensure the distance and connection between the midfielders.

From the first minute of the game, Boca came under heavy fire from their opponents.

Sarsfeld pressed forward across the board, and even the two full-backs often rushed forward to play the role of wingers.

At some point, Pika wanted to withdraw to defend the set piece, but was driven back by Chang Ming.

"Man, if you come back again, we will have no point of attack at all."

"But our defense..."

"Don't worry, we will definitely have no problem. Just wait for me to pass the ball to you."

"Okay, I'm waiting for your pass!"

This wait is 45 minutes.

Until the end of the first half, Pica did not wait for Chang Ming's pass.

Throughout the first half, Boca was crazily suppressed by their opponents.

Chang Ming tried his best in defense and had no time to attack.

After the start of the second half, the situation was still the same.

Now Chang Ming's organizational tasks in the midfield are almost a solo effort.

There is no veteran Riquelme to thread the needle.

There is no movement involved by my friend Songsu.

The two best midfield partners are not on the court, which makes Chang Ming very uncomfortable.

Although the two wing players Kroos and Chavez worked hard, today's opponent's offensive was too fierce. They could only retreat frequently and made almost no offensive contribution.

It wasn't until the 65th minute of the game that coach Basile finally made substitutions.

Replace Collazo and Chavez, replace Naiker and Sonsu!

These two players tried their best in the last game, but are now in poor physical condition.

At most, I can play for half an hour.

So at the beginning of the game, they sat on the bench.

Seeing the team lagging behind and having a weak attack, they were extremely anxious.

Now, they finally get a chance to play.

Even if it’s only half an hour, it’s enough time!

They will definitely change the situation on the court!

And seeing Songsu, Chang Ming was completely relieved!

When he intercepted the ball in the backcourt, he finally had a goal and direction for the passing transition!

Although Songsu is on the right wing, he takes on the role of the team's metronome!

Within ten minutes of playing, he received three precise passes from Chang Ming!

Valley Chromium

Break through with the ball and use your personal skills to excel!

Long shot to the goal!

It flew out of the bottom line while wiping the door lintel.

Pass to Naiker on the other side of the court and run forward!

Form short passing coordination in the frontcourt!

Necker beat two defenders!

Knock across the middle and hand it over to Pica!

Pica let the ball pass, and Songsu behind him followed up and pushed!

Slightly off.

After receiving the pass from Chang Ming, he made a neat long pass!

Pika received the ball steadily and had a good chance outside the penalty area!

Powerful cumshot!

The ball hit the goalpost and bounced off the baseline.

Although there were no goals in three consecutive offensive opportunities, Boca's situation on the field suddenly changed!

Sarsfeld also began to worry about Boca's defense, and the midfielder also recovered a little, paying attention to defense.

Especially pay attention to Songsu and Naiker who just came on stage.

These two players are very active and are the biggest threat to Boca now.

However, they thought wrong.

Boca's biggest threat is still Captain No. 21, who has been defending desperately in the backcourt!

Just when Sarsfeld's defense was paying attention to the wing, Boca suddenly launched a counterattack!

In the 79th minute of the game, Chang Ming suddenly stepped forward and snatched the ball from the opponent's midfielder!

After stealing the ball, Chang Ming didn't even raise his head and just made a long pass!

Long before he passed the ball, he had already observed the position of his teammates in advance!

Made a prediction!

The ball crossed the court 60 meters!

Go straight to the restricted area!

The pickup truck that has already accelerated in advance is waiting for this moment!

ming!

I've been waiting for your pass!
