Prominence in Football Community

When Obiang himself was passing the ball, he never expected that this pass would become an assist.

So when Gao Zheng kicked the football into the goal, the most surprised thing was not the Atletico Madrid player, but Gao Zheng's teammate.

He stared blankly at Gao Zheng running back from the front, hugged him, and then shouted in his ear: "Beautiful pass, Pedro!"

Hearing this sentence, he reacted in shock, and said proudly: "That's right! I knew you would definitely score the goal when I passed it to you!"

He thought I'd better not mention the fact that I never thought you would shoot directly...

Teammates swarmed them, surrounded them, and celebrated the goal.

This time they celebrated more wildly than last time, because this time Sampdoria had two away goals. Gao Zheng's equalizer last time only made it possible for the game to develop into overtime, but this time the equalizer allowed Sampdoria to directly eliminate Atletico Madrid by virtue of their away goal advantage. Everyone was very excited.

"My God..." Caresa sighed. "Atlético Madrid had just regained the lead with a blitz in the second half, and Gao quickly equalized. What a beautiful shot! Faced with a high ball from Obiang from behind, he didn't stop the ball and was running. Zhong directly swung his foot to shoot, making Courtois helpless... I don't even want to use the world wave to describe this shot, because the world wave happened to Gao's body too many times, and the world wave is a bit cheesy It's..."

Looking at the slow-motion replay of Gao Zheng's goal, He Ping seemed very excited: "This is simply a duel between Gao Zheng and Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid's Diego Costa and Arda Turan both scored. Gao Zheng scored the goal, but Sampdoria was able to draw with Atletico Madrid with Gao Zheng alone! Godin had no choice but to pay attention to Gao Zheng's shot!"

He wasn't worried at all that he would offend the Atlético Madrid fans by saying this, because that was the truth, Gao Zheng was awesome, Gao Zheng was a dick, and he was able to compete against the Atlético Madrid team by himself.

When the Sampdoria players were celebrating a goal, the TV broadcast gave Gao Zheng a long close-up.

Surrounded by his teammates, he had a smile on his face.

The subtitles were displayed at the bottom of the screen to introduce to the global TV audience: Sampdoria No. 10, Gao Zheng, scored two goals in this game and nine goals in the Champions League this season.

The atmosphere at the Calderón Stadium is a bit cold. This is the home stadium of Atletico Madrid, but now Atletico Madrid fans feel that this seems to be a stage for Gao Zheng to perform. He is the protagonist on this stage.

And everyone else, including the Atletico Madrid team, became his supporting role.

The Atlético Madrid supporters, displeased at the sight of the tall man running back into his own half surrounded by his teammates, did not express their emotion with boos.

The free kick that may have led to the first goal and the controversy of diving made Atletico Madrid fans not very convinced. But the second goal left them speechless. Facing the high ball from his teammates from behind, Gao Zheng volleyed directly without stopping the ball while running. Courtois was helpless to fight back, and also made the Atlético Madrid fans lose their temper.

Faced with such a wonderful goal, how can you still boo it?

"After the first round of the match between the two sides, the Spanish media criticized Simeone for being too timid and cautious. He was frightened by Gao. The team's tactics were conservative. It was entirely Simeone's responsibility for failing to win the game. But now it seems that Simeone It’s not that I was scared out of my wits, but that Gao is indeed as powerful as Simeone said... We all wrongly blamed Simeone, no matter how cautious we are in the face of such a brutal Gao, we can’t be too cautious!”

Simeone's eldest son, Giovanni Simeone, was also watching the live broadcast of the game in front of the TV. Hearing what the commentator said, his face was a little feverish.

Because he was also one of those people who thought his father was too timid.

He always felt that his father regarded Gao Zheng too highly. Although Gao Zheng was powerful, he would not make Atletico Madrid feel like a formidable enemy.

But now he thinks he might be wrong.

Such a player is indeed worthy of being highly regarded.

At the very least, he asked himself, if he and Gao Zheng exchanged, his performance would definitely not be as good as Gao Zheng's in this situation.

Facing such a strong opponent, being ahead twice and being tied twice is no longer a matter of personal ability, but a matter of spiritual quality.

It takes a heart like steel and nerves as thick as thighs to maintain such a stable performance under repeated blows.

Seeing Gao Zheng's goal, Atlético de Madrid player Koke couldn't help shouting up to the sky and swearing: "Ahhh! How could this be possible!? We have already led them twice! What the hell is going on with that kid? Made of material?!"

It is a very happy thing to be able to get a goal lead at the beginning of the game. The so-called "good start", but because of Gao Zheng, Atletico Madrid's two "good starts" ended in tragedy.

"Calm down, Kirk." Captain Gabby appeared beside him and reminded. "Didn't our coach remind us about this before the game? That height is very powerful."

Hearing this, Kirk turned his head and glanced at the referee on the sidelines.

Faced with this conceded goal, Simeone seemed very calm. He didn't have exaggerated body language, but made a "steady and don't panic" gesture to everyone on the sidelines.

So he remembered what the head coach said to them at the pre-match preparation meeting.

"You have to be mentally prepared for Gao to score two goals." Simeone raised two fingers.

When Cork heard this, he still didn't take it seriously, and felt that the head coach was scaremongering again. Of course, they will indeed keep an eye on Gao Zheng in defense, and they will not underestimate the enemy. But under our tight defense, Gao Zheng can still score two goals? This is a bit exaggerated, right?

Unexpectedly, the coach was right, this man really scored two goals!

"The coach said that the important thing is not how many goals he scored, but that we scored more goals than him." Gabby patted Cork on the shoulder: "And this is your job."

Cork puffed up his chest when he heard this: "Don't worry, captain, I will definitely help the team score goals!"

Gabby patted him on the shoulder again, turned and ran away.

While Sampdoria was still celebrating the goal, he went to find other teammates who looked a little frustrated.

As the captain, when the team loses the ball, he needs to stand up and encourage every teammate to cheer them up again.

For teammates with different ideas, he has different rhetoric.

"...No matter how powerful Gao is, he is still alone, and we are one, so are we afraid of him being alone?"

"This is our home stadium. Are we going to be eliminated in front of the fans of the home team? Don't be kidding, this kind of thing is impossible!"

"... Now the total score is just a tie, as long as we score another goal and take the lead. The advantage is still on our side, there is nothing to worry about! Play according to our rhythm!"

"Sampdoria will definitely feel that we are nothing more than that now, let them see what kind of team we are!"

Every Atlético Madrid player cheered up after being encouraged by the captain. They puffed up their chests and their eyes shone with light. The negative impact of Gao Zheng's goal was thus offset.

The assistant coach Boggs, who saw this scene off the court, said with emotion: "Gabi is really an amazing leader. Looking at those boys, he patted the shoulder and said a few words, and all the emotions were restored."

Diego Simeone nodded and said: "That's why I promoted him to be the captain at the beginning. You see, although we are at a disadvantage now, I am not worried at all. Based on what I know about Gao, I said that he may be in the Score two goals in this game, am I right? I think two goals is his limit. The final victory must belong to us!"

He spread his hands, full of confidence.
