Prominence in Football Community

Because of the travel and the busy transfer during this time, Gao Zheng has not had systematic training for several days. Usually, he can do strength training and physical training in the hotel gym at most, and nothing else.

Coupled with the language barrier, even though Xu Xin is there to translate, but he has to train himself, and he is not a professional translator, so there will always be situations where he can't take care of him.

So in the first training session after joining Atletico Madrid, Gao Zheng's performance was not good.

But for Atletico Madrid players, they will not look down on Gao Zheng because of his poor performance in training.

After all, they have seen Gao Zheng's strength in the game last season.

If someone denies Gao Zheng because of his performance in a training session, he will probably be ridiculed by all Atletico Madrid players.

In this way, Gao Zheng lived in San Rafael, and Simeone made some adjustments to the accommodation, allowing Gao Zheng and Xu Xin to live in the same room, this is to facilitate Gao Zheng to learn Spanish from Xu Xin.

And because of Gao Zheng, Xu Xin also became familiar with the bosses of the first team, and was no longer an ordinary youth team player—after all, those first team stars wanted to communicate with Gao Zheng. Everything has to go through him...

This is the period of time that Xu Xin has the highest status in the team after joining Atletico Madrid.

Not only in the team, but also in the Chinese media, Xu Xin has also become a star figure - this is of course Gao Zheng's glory.

When Gao Zheng joined the team and started training, the small town of San Rafael had many more Chinese reporters.

Unlike when he was exposed to play in Sampdoria just now, the Chinese media is more enthusiastic this time. On the one hand, it is because the influence of La Liga is much greater than that of Serie A, and Atletico Madrid is also more influential than Sampdoria. On the other hand, it is naturally because the transfer fee of 75 million euros has aroused everyone's appetite and made everyone look forward to Gao Zheng's career in Atletico Madrid.

As Gao Zheng's translator, although Chinese reporters do not need to use Xu Xin when interviewing Gao Zheng, Gao Zheng will always bring Xu Xin to appear in front of media reporters.

So when everyone paid attention to Gao Zheng, they also paid attention to Xu Xin.

Xu Xin is also a window for the media to learn about Gao Zheng's training and living conditions at Atletico Madrid from the side. Some things are difficult to ask Gao Zheng, but you can ask Xu Xin. And there are some things that Gao Zheng can't say, but Xu Xin can say.

Through Xu Xin's narration, everyone knew that Gao Zheng was very popular in the team. Although he didn't speak the language well, it didn't prevent him from taking Xu Xin to chat with other teammates from time to time.

After the news came back to China, the Chinese fans imagined such a picture--the father took the child to visit...

Fans on Weibo asked Xu Xin if she wanted the New Year's money.

As Gao Zheng and his teammates became more familiar and adapted to the new environment, his performance in the training session became better and better, which fully proved that the overturning performance in the first training session was really just an accident.

Simeone also started to design tactics after the whole team had seen Gao Zheng's performance in training. With Gao Zheng as the core in the offense, while maintaining Atletico Madrid's fighting style, it increases the level of technical sophistication.

Before, everyone was worried that Gao Zheng and Simeone's Atletico Madrid style would not match, but from the perspective of training, there is actually no major incompatibility problem.

Gao Zheng's defensive ability is indeed very poor, but Simeone will not ask Gao Zheng to defend with all his strength. His requirement for Gao Zheng in defense is to hold his position. In other words, as long as Gao Zheng can appear in the defense The position is fine, and he is not required to press up or directly steal.

Gao Zheng's wide range of playing activities actually fits well with Atletico Madrid's overall tactics.

Because the simple summary of Atletico Madrid's tactics is "run, keep running, run to death". Every player is required to keep running, looking for opportunities and creating opportunities.

Gao Zheng's style of playing without a fixed position in the game fits well with Atletico Madrid's original tactics.

The only problem is that Gao Zheng's physical training was done in Sampdoria, and he started training with the ball directly after coming to Atletico Madrid. However, Sampdoria's physical training requirements are definitely different from those of Atletico Madrid. Some people worry whether Gao Zheng's physical fitness reserves in Sampdoria are enough for him to cope with Atletico Madrid's undead tactics. Affected his first season at Atletico Madrid.

On July 28, Atletico Madrid officially announced that they had signed Real Sociedad's French striker Antoine Griezmann.

The French striker has been very popular in the last two seasons. Of course, he is not the same as Gao Zheng. As early as the 2009-2010 season, he was 18 years old and played the main role in the Real Sociedad. level league. He made 39 appearances and scored six goals to help Real Sociedad return to La Liga.

The 2010-2011 season was Griezmann's first La Liga season. He is still the main striker of Real Sociedad, scoring seven goals and assisting three goals in 37 appearances. For a nineteen-year-old striker, that's a great performance.

In the 2011-2012 season, Griezmann continued the performance of last season, played 35 times, scored seven goals, assisted four times, and there was another goal in the Copa del Rey.

He played twice in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers, scored one goal and assisted one goal, helping the team enter the Champions League.

Made six appearances in the Champions League group stage but failed to score.

With his outstanding performance this season, he has attracted the attention of many teams. But Atletico Madrid were not in the initial pursuit of him.

It was after signing Gao Zheng that Atletico Madrid suddenly accelerated their purchase of Griezmann.

Therefore, many analysts believe that Atletico Madrid signed Griezmann to form a strike partner with Gao Zheng.

Because Griezmann is not a pure shooter, although he has scored a lot of goals, he also has a lot of assists. Although Gao Zheng is good at scoring goals, he is also good at assists, as evidenced by his 37 assists in three seasons in Sampdoria.

Two strikers who can both score and assist are paired together, and it is completely the effect of one plus one greater than two.

Although Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad have not released more transfer details, the "Aspen" newspaper disclosed the transfer fee-Atletico Madrid paid 30 million transfer fees to Real Sociedad, and this Thirty million is exactly the liquidated damages figure in the contract between Griezmann and Real Sociedad.

After Griezmann's transfer to Atletico Madrid, the media quickly took pictures of the Frenchman and Gao Zheng talking and laughing on the training ground in the small town of San Rafael. Of course, there must be a "translator" Xu Xin in this picture...

Last season's main striker David Villa's contract expired and he moved to the American Major League on a free transfer.

It can be said that the loss of personnel is serious.

This situation makes Atletico Madrid fans very pessimistic about the team's new season.

Although Lewandowski joined Bayern Munich for free this summer, the Croatian center lost his position in Bayern Munich. He wanted to leave, and Atletico Madrid also wanted to leave. Interested in him, ready to use him to fill the vacancy after Diego Costa left.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. One of Simeone's renewal conditions made Atletico Madrid give up Mandzukic and go all out to compete for Gao Zheng.

But not all first-team players went to the United States with the team, Griezmann who just joined the team did not, in addition to the team's three Uruguay internationals Diego Godin, Christian Rodriguez And Jimenez also stayed in Madrid for their recovery training.

Gao Zheng, who attracted Atletico Madrid fans and Chinese fans the most, went to the United States with the team.
