Chapter 40 Returning to China

"GAO!!! GAO!!! GAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!" Jose Maria also learned the word "GAOL" invented by an Italian commentator to refer to Gao Zheng's goal.

Atletico Madrid fans at the Calderón Stadium followed suit:

"GAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!"

In fact, after the Spanish Super Cup, the media in Madrid was popularizing this word that does not conform to English or Spanish to Atletico Madrid fans.

They told the fans that this is a word invented in Italy. Combining the "GOL" and "GOAL" of the goal with Gao Zheng's surname "GAO" forms a brand new word, which specifically means "Gao Zheng". Zheng's goal", this word can only be used after Gao Zheng scored a goal, and no one else can.

After scoring the goal, Gao Zheng did not rush to the corner flag area under the deafening cheers, nor did he go to the South Stand to curry favor with Atletico Madrid's extreme fans "Athletic Front", but just raised his arms on the spot with a smile on his face Celebrating a goal.

His teammates jumped on him and hugged him, celebrating the goal with him.

"When Gao first joined Atletico Madrid, some media once vowed that Gao needed an adaptation period, because Serie A and La Liga are completely different. What he is used to in Serie A is not common in La Liga... But now Gao Yong has proved with his actual actions that he does not need to adapt. Whether it is Serie A or La Liga, it is the same for him. Two goals and one assist in the Spanish Super Cup, one goal and one assist in the two rounds of La Liga, Where does such a performance require adaptation?"

In the end, Atletico Madrid defeated Eibar 2:0 at their home court with the goals of Miranda and Gao Zheng, winning two consecutive league victories.

Like Barcelona, ​​they are the only two teams in the league that have won two consecutive victories, with six points, but because the goal difference is one less than Barcelona, ​​they are temporarily ranked second. However, the final ranking of La Liga does not depend on the goal difference. In the case of the same score, first look at the results of the two sides playing against each other.

So as long as Atletico Madrid has an advantage in the match against Barcelona in the end, the final ranking of the league can be ranked above Barcelona.

And this is not an impossible task for Atletico Madrid-atlético Madrid met Barcelona twice in the league last season. Atletico Madrid drew 0:0 at home and drew Barcelona 1:1 away.

The media believed that Gao Zheng scored a goal against Eibar,

It shows that he is in good condition.

This is definitely a major benefit for Atletico Madrid, who are about to play the Madrid intra-city derby next--if Atletico Madrid is a listed club, then after this game, their stock price will definitely skyrocket...

Because Gao Zheng's goal in this game can bring investors enough confidence.

"Real Madrid be careful because their goal is already in high range!"

This kind of media headline made Real Madrid fans super upset, but they seemed unable to refute it after thinking for a long time, because Gao Zheng had already scored their goal in the Spanish Super Cup that ended before. If they don't score, they can still say that the media is nonsense, how could Real Madrid's goal be broken by that kid.

But if they really did it, you won't be able to blackmail it from this angle.

Therefore, Real Madrid fans are extremely aggrieved. For this game, in addition to hoping that their home team can beat Atletico Madrid at home, the other biggest goal is to be able to seal Gao Zheng in the game and prevent Gao Zheng from entering the game. ball.

At that time, they can turn around and taunt Gao Zheng—it seems that your range is a bit short, just like your JJ.

The pro-Real Madrid media responded to the headlines of the pro-Atletico Madrid media in this way.

"The Revenge of James!"

This is the headline of the "Marca" newspaper.

In the text, the "Marca" newspaper stated that James Rodriguez was the only Real Madrid player to score in the Spanish Super Cup, but he failed to help Real Madrid win the championship. Since joining Real Madrid, the Colombian star has been subject to controversy. After all, he spent the club's transfer fee of 75 million euros, but failed to show that he was worth the money. Therefore, the "Marca" newspaper believes that for the Madrid derby in this league, although everyone will focus on superstars such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Casillas, James Rodriguez must definitely He is full of fighting spirit and can't wait to get revenge. His performance in the game is even more worth looking forward to.

But no matter how much the fans of both sides look forward to this game, they have to wait a little longer, because after the second round of the league is over, there will be two national team games.

It will not be the Madrid city derby until the national team game is over.

And because there are these two national team games, it will also bring some variables to the next Madrid derby-if players from both sides are injured in the national team games, it will definitely affect the two teams. Let's look at the comparison of strength in the game.

Gao Zheng, who just scored a goal for Atletico Madrid, also left Madrid and returned to China to participate in two friendly matches of the national team.

This is a friendly match in preparation for the Asian Cup held in Australia in early 2015, so Gao Zheng must return to China to participate in the match.

Speaking of which, this was the first meeting between him and the new head coach after the national team changed its head coach—in fact, the national team changed its head coach at the beginning of this year, but before that, Gao Zheng missed three games of the national team Friendlies and an Asian Cup qualifier.

The absence of the budget match was due to the fact that the Chinese team had already qualified ahead of schedule. At that time, Sampdoria was at a critical stage of playing in the Champions League and the league. Therefore, the club and the Chinese Football Association reached an agreement early on and Gao Zheng was not recruited to return to China to participate in the competition.

Gao Zheng did not participate in the remaining three warm-up matches. On the one hand, it was to let him rest. On the other hand, Gao Zheng had just transferred to Atletico Madrid. Running in with the new team's training may affect his performance throughout the next season, so there is no arrangement for Gao Zheng to come back.

It can be said that although the Chinese Football Association has a lot to criticize, they still did nothing wrong in supporting Gao Zheng. After all, Gao Zheng is now the face of Chinese football and the focus of everyone's attention. It is indeed impossible for them to go too far.

In this way, after entering 2014, Gao Zheng has not participated in a national team game, and the Chinese team without Gao Zheng only won one of these four games, lost two games, and one of them was the last one. In the Asian Cup qualifiers, the Chinese team lost 1:3 to Iraq in the away game. In the friendly match, the Chinese team lost to Mali 1:3 at home in the warm-up match on July 29, the only game they won The game was a 2-0 friendly home defeat to Macedonia.

Although the head coach was changed, Alain Perrin, who had coached Lyon to win the Ligue 1 championship and the French Cup championship, replaced interim coach Fu Bo, but the performance of the Chinese team did not improve immediately. Through these four games, everyone found that the most important thing is not the head coach, but Gao Zheng.

As long as Gao Zheng is around, even Fu Bo can lead the team to get good results. Without Gao Zheng, even the head coach who has won the championship in Europe is still struggling to coach in China...

Therefore, when the Asian Cup is four months away, Gao Zheng must no longer enjoy the privileges and dissociate from the national team's preparations. This is the final sprint time for the Chinese team to prepare for the Asian Cup, and he must be in the team.

When Gao Zheng finally arrived at Anshan Tengao Airport through Beijing, the reporters and fans who came to hear the news remembered that this small airport was full of water.

That scene was far better than when the national team arrived in Anshan to prepare for the game.

Although Gao Zheng's qualifications in the national team are still young, it is already clear at a glance who is the real boss of this team.
